After the fake daughter of the Hou Mansion returned to the village, she made a lot of money

Yun Qingyin nodded, and went to Donglong Street with Liu Zhu.

The jewelry shop is no longer the small workshop it was two years ago, but it is getting bigger and bigger. There are many carriages parked in front of the door, all of which are ladies from various houses who come to choose jewelry.

When Yun Qingyin entered the door, she noticed the scattered jewelry and overturned boxes on the ground, and Cong Linger said arrogantly, "It's just a few pieces of jewelry that are broken, it's worth all the fuss, do you know who I am?"

A Yao argued, "Even if you are a lady from the official family, you can't smash these and leave. We are all small businesses. I reminded you to be careful when you took them."

Lin Shuangshuang sneered, "She's the lady of the Cong Mansion. Don't say that today I just threw a piece of your jewelry to make her angry. Even if your shop is banned today, it's not an exaggeration."

A Yao's complexion suddenly turned pale, hesitating and unable to speak.

Mother Xiao Hui came out in time to make a rescue, "It turned out to be Miss Cong, forgive me for being blind, A Yao, apologize to Miss Cong and this girl."

A Yao was angry, "Obviously they broke the jewelry..."

Cong Ling'er crossed her arms and stood tall, "How dare you show your face in front of me, a lowly maidservant? How dare you have the guts? Miss Yue, let me put my words here. Today's matter really can't go like this. She If you don’t kneel down and apologize to me, today’s matter is endless!”

Little Hui Niang asked herself, "Miss Cong, I will make her apologize, but she will be spared if she kneels down."

Xiao Hui Niang looked around, saw Yun Qingyin approaching, her eyes lit up suddenly.

"It's okay not to kneel." Cong Ling'er sneered, "Your store will be closed tomorrow!"

"let's go!"

"What are you going to do?" Yun Qingyin said at the right time, "You want to run when you drop something? How can there be such an easy thing?"

Cong Ling'er turned her head and saw Yun Qingyin.

In the past two years, she has watched Yun Qingyin look more and more beautiful, her temperament is as elegant as a chrysanthemum, her eyebrows and eyes are like the frost in the morning with a lingering coldness, her face is stunning, as beautiful as a peach or plum.

Foxy child!
Cong Ling'er clenched her hands, "What are you doing, Yun Qingyin, you'd better get out of the way!"

Yun Qingyin looked at the fellows standing aside, "Go, stand guard at the door, and the other two ran errands to Cong's Mansion and Xuanping Hou's Mansion, and told Mrs. Cong and Mrs. Hou that they would each bring 500 taels of silver to pick them up. Otherwise, the two girls will stay here today."

Two of the chaps ran off, while several other chaps blocked the door.

Seeing this scene, Cong Ling'er sneered, "Yun Qingyin, how dare you!"

Lin Shuangshuang also said, "Yun Qingyin, why are you stopping us and not letting us go!"

"You have paid, so naturally no one will stop you." Yun Qingyin walked to the armchair and sat down, and someone immediately brought a good fruit tea, "But for those who make trouble in the store, I will naturally not let you She's better off, Liu Zhu, what happened to the last person who took something and tried to renege on it?"

Liu Zhu said with a smile, "Miss Hui, your leg is broken, I heard it's still not healed."

"Life is still alive, but it is cheaper for her."

"We came here according to the law. If we focus more on it, it will be bad."

Yun Qingyin shook her head regretfully, "Today is 5000 taels of silver, not counting the money lost due to the impact on the store's business, there is only so much, what will happen to these two people?"

Liu Zhu sighed, "It's only 5000 taels. I'm afraid I can't buy a leg, but a hand is always enough."

Yun Qingyin raised her eyes and smiled brightly, "You two can hear that, one hand."

Being looked at by Yun Qingyin, Cong Ling'er shuddered inexplicably, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, you dare to act so recklessly! There is absolutely no law!"

"Since that's the case, why don't we report it to the officials and ask your lord to decide the case? Everyone here is a witness. I believe your lord will not bend the law for personal gain."

Lin Shuangshuang's complexion changed slightly, and she held back Cong Linger, perhaps knowing that she was in the wrong, Cong Linger endured it for a moment, "I didn't bring so much money today, I just give you what I have on my body."

"It's easy to handle, let your personal maid take the shop assistant to pick it up."

"Yun Qingyin, don't go too far!"

"Then just wait." Yun Qingyin smiled softly, "It's only an hour later, I believe the two ladies will come over."

Mrs. Cong and Mrs. Hou came really quickly. After all, it was a matter related to her daughter's reputation. She had to be careful. The two carriages stopped and the maid helped them. went in.

Cong Ling'er saw Mrs. Cong, before she had time to rejoice, Mrs. Cong said, "If your father finds out about today's incident, you can expect to be punished."

After finishing speaking, I stopped looking at Cong Linger, and just apologized to Yunqingyin, "I'm spoiled by this girl at home, and I'm causing trouble for the girl. This is 3000 taels, please accept it, and when I go back, I will definitely Teach her well."

Yun Qingyin said with a smile, "I admire Madam for being so open-minded. I know it's inappropriate to ask Madam for a visit today, but I have no other choice. I hope Madam will not be offended."

"Where is it, this girl is messing around."

Mrs. Cong didn't say any more, took Cong Ling'er and left, and after getting into the carriage, Cong Ling'er threw herself into her arms aggrieved, "Mother, why should you care about that Yun Qingyin and give her a lot of face, I just can't understand it." she!"

Mrs. Cong looked at her daughter sternly, "She is a few years younger than you, no matter how you handle things, you are not as good-looking as her. The things you caused today are totally unreasonable, and you still expect me to save face for you? "

Cong Ling'er fell silent immediately, and lowered her head aggrievedly.

Mrs. Cong was a little less angry, "You have provoked her a lot in the past two years, and you haven't gotten any benefits everywhere, why bother?"

"I... I just don't like her."

"What's her identity, what's your identity, she works with traders all day long, and she contacts people of the highest rank. She has already lost her demeanor of a famous lady, but you are the jewel in the palm of the Cong Mansion, so you deserve to lower your status? How old are you? It's not too young anymore, if you drag it on, you'll really become an old lady, I've already told your father that the marriage is bound to be settled, after you return home, you can embroider in the boudoir, waiting to get married."

"Mother!" Cong Ling'er didn't want to, "I like Shen Anqiu, unless he is the one who marries me, I won't marry anyone!"

Mrs. Cong sighed, "That's a good boy. This year's golden autumn is a good time for him. Your father once sniffed him out, but he already has someone in his heart. Why should you just wait for him? There are so many good men in Kyoto." That's right, there is a rumor in the palace that this year His Highness the Fifth Highness and His Highness the Seventh Highness will both marry wives, and with your father's status, you can do it as a concubine."

Cong Ling'er was extremely resistant, "I don't want to, I just like Shen Anqiu, what's so good about that Yun Qingyin, he doesn't deserve him at all! Shen Anqiu is father's protégé, and it will be smooth sailing for him to be promoted by father in the future. The future is limitless, mother also thinks he is very good, doesn't she, why don't you want to fight for your daughter?"

"Hey." Mrs. Cong was worried, "I like that child, but if he doesn't let go, I can't force him."

"If mother doesn't want her daughter to wash her face with tears and discord with her husband in the future, it's better not to choose someone just because it's for my own good."

Mrs. Cong also hesitated. As a mother, she naturally hoped that her daughter would live a good life. Seeing that her daughter was so determined, she didn't dare to force her for a while.

"I'll discuss it with your father when I go back."

Cong Ling'er laughed immediately, "Mom, I knew you were the best for me!"

……

On Lin Shuangshuang's side, the mother and daughter were also talking about Yun Qingyin.

Mrs. Xuan Ping Hou looked at her daughter with hatred, "How much I have taught you, how come you can't even deal with a country girl."

"It's that stupid Cong Ling'er, it's none of my business to run away after breaking the jewelry."

Mrs. Xuan Pinghou: "You were with her. Outsiders don't know the truth. In the end, it was you who made the joke. You are not as smart as your brother in this regard."

Lin Shuangshuang couldn't get over this hurdle, thinking about how to get revenge, "Is my brother going to take the scientific examination this year? My father seems to want him to join the household department on purpose."

Mrs. Xuan Pinghou was also in a dilemma when she said this, "Your wants to enter the Ministry of Criminal Justice wholeheartedly. If he insists on going his own way, I'm afraid it will make Lord Hou unhappy again."

"Mother." Lin Shuangshuang said tentatively, "I saw my father get close to a student from the county school before, and I seemed to like him very much in words."

"Your father is quite strict with the children in the house. What kind of people can he like?"

Lin Shuangshuang said, "His name is Shen Anqiu, and he is the most prestigious student among the students who will participate in Qiu Wei this time."

"Shen Anqiu? I haven't heard of it." Madam Xuan Pinghou didn't care, "Why did you suddenly pay attention to an ordinary student?"

"It's nothing."

Lin Shuangshuang had some calculations in her mind.

……

At the jewelry store, Xiao Hui asked someone to pack up the broken things, "Thanks to me asking Liu Zhu to invite you here, otherwise I don't know how it will end in the end."

"If you encounter someone like this in the future, you must not be weak. In this capital, which one is not ashamed, if you are bluffed by them, you will suffer a lot."

"Okay, I'll be tougher in the future. It just so happens that you're here, take this month's surplus with you. I heard Mr. An say that you are short of money recently."

Little Hui Niang smiled teasingly.

Yun Qingyin covered her face, "Don't listen to his nonsense."

After taking the money, Yun Qingyin went back to Yun's restaurant and gave the banknote to Liu Zhu, "Let's put it in the account."

Liu Zhu was not at all happy when he received the money, "Miss, have you been chased for debt recently, our account is almost unpaid."

Yun Qingyin was leaning against the high table, also suffering from a headache, "No, I'm taking down a shop recently, and there is an opponent who has been following the price."

"What kind of shop costs 10 taels." And it seems that the end is not over yet, Liu Zhu is really afraid that all the things he invested in will be in vain.

"Naturally it's a good location." Yun Qingyin said, "Don't worry, I know what's in my mind, just watch, I'll go up and sleep for a while."

……

In the antique shop, several shopkeepers sat together, frowning and sighing.

Shopkeeper Dong pushed the door open and came in, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, it looks like the sky is falling, and the sky is falling, and you still have to carry it?"

Shopkeeper Du glanced at him, "Your shop is doing well, and you don't have to worry about making money every day. Right now, we have just spotted a position and want to take it. Who knows that there are always people who are secretly competing with us."

Treasurer Dong sat down, "I remember, you told me before, if I remember correctly, you have invested hundreds of thousands in it back and forth, have you not taken it yet?"

"The other party bites tightly."

Shopkeeper Dong sighed, "Have you found out who it is, let the young master talk about it?"

"That place is exactly what the young master is looking for, and he wanted to take it after he sent a message. Now, several months have passed, and there is still no progress. How dare I go to the young master, isn't this looking for scolding?"

Shopkeeper Dong drank his tea, thinking that the young master's temper had become worse recently, and even an old man was a little scared when he came into contact with him, let alone other people.

Shopkeeper Du frowned, "Don't just listen and laugh, I asked you to come here to give me advice, not to show you a joke."

Someone said, "Since the young master wants it, it is natural to take it. The other party is clenching it tightly, and he must have taken a fancy to it. Now, if you are richer than anyone else, how much budget do you have?"

"Not much." Shopkeeper Du said, "It's less than 10 taels. I dare not add it too fast, lest the other party notice it."

At this time, it is the time to play psychological warfare. If you show your timidity and reveal your hole cards, then naturally you don't have to play.

"10 taels, plus what you put in, the price of that shop is sky-high. Be optimistic, maybe the other party doesn't have as many as you."

Shopkeeper Du was worried, "It's not your business, so of course you said it lightly. If you really carelessly lose the shop, will you go to the young master to apologize for me?"

The others stopped talking immediately, jokes, who will go to this matter of being scolded.

"Old Dong, do you have a plan?"

Shopkeeper Dong put down his teacup and said, "Don't be so discouraged. You have so much budget in your hand, and the other party may not necessarily have more. Now it's a psychological battle, and it's slowly consuming. The young master didn't set a time limit for you, did he?"

Shopkeeper Du shook his head, "That's not true."

Shopkeeper Dong said with a smile, "If you can wait until August, even if you can't take down the shop, maybe you will be safe and sound."

Shopkeeper Du sat up straight in an instant, and asked modestly, "How do you say?"

"Old Dong, don't you lie to him. You couldn't get the shop in the end, and you invested so much money in it, and you still expect the young master to take this matter lightly?"

Everyone else thought it was impossible, and shopkeeper Du's excitement just now was somewhat extinguished.

Shopkeeper Dong knocked on the table, "If a group of people who don't understand anything can guess what the young master is thinking, nothing is impossible."

One of the younger people said, "August? It's the township examination. According to the young master's talent, he must be on the list. It will be a great joy when the time comes. The young master is happy. If shopkeeper Du can escape, maybe it is really possible." .”

"It's not just the imperial examination." Shopkeeper Dong said mysteriously, "This provincial examination is just a matter of course for the young master. What I want to tell you is another matter."

Others couldn't help being curious when they heard the words, "What happy event is more important than the scientific examination?"
