idle mistress

Chapter 107 Follow the footsteps
If it weren't for... She wouldn't want to stay in such a crappy place for a moment.

Xu Xiaoke saw the look of disgust on her face, she couldn't hold back her face, and there was a hint of embarrassment on her face.

Seeing the little maid behind Yang's eyes falling on her smeared left cheek from time to time, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

If this girl wasn't Yang's maid, she would have appointed her to go up and pull her face.

Gently holding her left cheek with her hand, Xu Xiaoke felt so resentful.

When she first married into the Gu family, she had a moment of glory.

Husband respects her, even the father-in-law who works as a business official does not dare to provoke her, just for the generous dowry she brought, which one of the Gu family is not obedient to him.

The mother-in-law hoped that she would start a business for the Gu family as soon as possible, and even asked her servants to cook soup for herself every day.

Of course

Year after year, her stomach didn't move at all. Gradually, the Gu family's attitude towards her also changed.

She knew that these people would not dare to speak of her face to face, and they would often laugh at her behind her back as an iron rooster that couldn't lay eggs.

She often comforts herself, as long as her husband treats her well.

Although her husband is unhappy in his official career, she has silver taels. She thought that no matter how poor she was, she would be a rich wife. She never thought that Gu Yun, like her unworthy brother, was not suitable for business at all.

The business lost money, and Gu Yun became obsessed with gambling.

Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, what can she do, she can only keep asking her natal family for money.

In recent years, under the running of Yan Hong, that stinky bitch, her natal brother is no longer willing to help her younger sister.

She has no choice but to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. Fortunately, there is still Xu Weiqiu, a big grievance in Huai City.

She got a lot of benefits from the Mausoleum Palace, and the silver master said that nearly a thousand taels were given to Gu Yun for business, but after such a long time, the silver taels were thrown in, and the family just didn't get a single copper coin.

At first she thought that Gu Yun used it to gamble again, but after inquiring about it, she found out that the unlucky guy actually bought a mansion outside and raised an actor.

He also made the actor's belly bigger. Years ago, he brought the actor back to recognize his ancestors.

Of course she disagreed, but she didn't expect Gu Yun to beat and kick herself like a different person, and even broke one of her legs with a stick.

Since she was a child, what she looked down on the most was Zhang Shi, who did not give birth to a son and a half daughter for her father. She did not expect that today, she would be deterred by following in her footsteps.

She is not even as good as the Zhang family in the past, at least her father will not beat women.

Xu Xiaoke really wants to die...

She restrained her mind, and said cautiously: "Sister Yang, what's the matter with me?"

You must know that she also wants to save face, and she wears her best outfit when going in and out of the Mausoleum Palace on weekdays.

It's just that after thousands of calculations, Mrs. Yang will come to the door in person.

Yang smiled: "It's nothing, it's the Lantern Festival yesterday, and there was a banquet in the Palace of the Prince of Mausoleum, but I didn't see sister Xu coming to join in the fun, so I came over to have a look."

The maidservant behind her said with a flamboyant expression: "Yeah, our palace was very lively yesterday, we invited the most famous opera troupe in the capital to sing, and we even set off fireworks when viewing the lanterns. At that time, it was said that this fireworks cost nearly 2000 taels of silver, Madam Gu was really a treasure if she didn't look at it."

The corner of Xu Xiaoke's mouth twitched, and she smiled apologetically at Yang Shi: "Sister Yang has a heart."

Yang nodded, looked around, and said, "It's just that I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Sister Gu, if you have anything to say, please tell me."

"It's not that I'm supercilious, it's just that Princess Mausoleum doesn't care too much about your sister, Mrs. Gu. How can she let her own sister live in such a place?"

While talking, she tentatively asked: "Is there any holiday between the two of you sisters?" In fact, she had already seen that there was a gap between the two sisters, but it was the first time that she made it clear.

Xu Xiaoke laughed when he heard the words: "It's just like that, it's not a holiday."

As soon as the conversation between the two changed, the topic began to revolve around Xu Weiqiu. Xu Weiqiu, who had just taken off his women's clothes and put on Shen Qing's outfit, couldn't help but sneezed hard.

The nurse at the side quickly handed her a hand stove.

"Does shopkeeper Shen feel cold? Do you want to drink some hot soup before going out?"

Xu Weiqiu shook his head: "No, the banquet hall of the Chamber of Commerce is not far away. Let's go..."

The nurse nodded, and opened the door ahead, a gust of evil wind blew over, Xu Weiqiu couldn't help shivering...

It's really cold today...

If she hadn't agreed to it before, she really didn't want to attend the banquet of the Laoshizi Chamber of Commerce...

In the flower hall of the Gu family, Yang ate a melon, spit out the shell, and asked seemingly casually:
"Sister Xu, if you want me to tell you, that sister of yours has a good horoscope."

Between the words, Yang actually meant to ask about his birth date.

A gleam flashed in Xu Xiaoke's eyes:
"Before marriage, I was married. Sister Yang wants to know, why don't you just ask Princess Sheng?"

She Xu Xiaoke is poor, but she is not stupid.

Now it's like a mirror in my heart, this Yang family is smiling like a tiger, full of bad water.

This woman seems to be on good terms with her on the surface, but in fact she doesn't look down on her at all, secretly she doesn't know how to arrange herself with those aunts in the palace.

Yang would be sorry, she smiled lightly and said:

"Oh, look, I don't know how to be polite, and I don't bring any souvenirs with my relatives when I come and go. My sister, do you think this is possible? I have a house in the west of the city. Although it is not a big house, it is not bad. If my sister doesn't dislike it If so, it will be my apology."

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoke's eyes lit up...
-
When Shen Qing got out of the carriage, the people standing outside the door recognized him and hurried up to greet him: "Oh, Shopkeeper Shen, I'm looking forward to you."

The man's surname is Liang and his name is Gao Hui. He is not very old, and his appearance is not bad.

It is the owner of the No. [-] silk and satin shop in Huaicheng. The two have had business contacts before, and they have dealt with each other several times, so they are considered familiar.

Although every time they meet each other and open their mouths and close their mouths to mention money, he always looks slick, but he never whitewashes his copper smell, seeing himself always smiling, it is not disgusting.

Shen Qing cupped her hands in return.

At this time, a middle-aged man from behind also came up to meet him. After greeting Shen Qing, he turned to Liang Gaohui and asked, "May I ask who this is?"

Liang Gaohui quickly introduced: "Shen Qing, Shen Dashan."

When the other party heard this, his face was full of surprise: "I'm Xia Hongwen, I've heard about the reputation of shopkeeper Shen Dashan for a long time, but I didn't expect to be so young, he is a young talent."

Dare to feel that this is Hong Dong's family who sent invitations to him, Shen Qing hurriedly cupped his hands: "Hong Dong's family, don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

At this time, another one or two carriages came outside the door, and the person who came seemed to be a big man.
