After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

Chapter 169 Losing the support of the people and having no other way out

"Madam, you can see for yourself." The official of the government office calmly took out the notice posted by the silk shop.

The notice clearly stated that the Satin Shop and the Embroidery Shop are holding an event for one month. The event will not be terminated for any reason during the event period. All guests who come can enjoy lifetime discounts. During this month, regular customers Activities and activities for new customers are clearly written.

It even says that if you buy something during the event, you can come back within a month based on the contract, which is too much.

"Sir, why did you take out my notice? I don't want to do any activities now, so I won't do it. What else can I do?"

"Madam, didn't you see it?"

The official frowned dissatisfied, and then pointed to the content on the notice.

"The event will never be terminated for any reason during the event period."

The manager couldn't help but read it out directly. Upon hearing this, Zhou's face changed, and the people around him accused Zhou of being dishonest.

"Is this how your palace does business?"

"What are you arguing about? My activity is a loss-making activity. I won't do it now. What's wrong?" Ms. Zhou didn't think there was any problem with this notice at all.

Faced with Zhou's sophistry, the government official remained calm and said, "The government has express regulations that merchants must bear responsibility if they post notices. Your notice clearly stated that it will take a month. Now you are To withdraw it and prevent people from buying it is a violation of the regulations."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou was stunned on the spot for a moment and did not react for a while.

"I, but I really have to pay."

"It's not impossible if you don't continue this activity. You need to pay a fine in accordance with the laws promulgated by the imperial court."

The official handed the written document to Zhou and said coldly: "After three days, if you don't continue the activity, you will pay a fine."

As the officials left, Mrs. Zhou came back to her senses and looked at the shopkeeper behind her in disbelief, "That's it?"

"Madam, this old slave has warned you a long time ago, but you didn't listen."

"When did you say that?"

Mrs. Zhou turned her back and blamed the shopkeeper for everything.

The shopkeeper knew that he was just a worker, so naturally he couldn't defeat the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion. He was in good health and said, "Madam, you can say whatever you want. Anyway, this old slave is just working in your Hou Mansion. From tomorrow on, the old slave will be here." not coming.

This shopkeeper has worked in the Hou Mansion for many years and is considered an old man in the silk and satin industry. His words are generally listened to and he is even considered a leader in the same industry.

Now, Mrs. Zhou would scold him as much as he wanted for her own sake, and the shopkeeper couldn't stand it and turned around and left.

After he left, he went to see the old lady. Although he didn't say it clearly, he said every word that Zhou was not suitable to be in charge of the shop and hoped that the old lady would be cautious.

"Old Shen, when I first married into the Hou Mansion, you were the shopkeeper of the Silk and Satin Shop. Are you really willing to leave?"

The old lady didn't want to let this sea-fixing needle go. Many old residents patronized it just for his sake, and even some raw materials came from him.

Facing the old lady's request to stay, the shopkeeper also felt uncomfortable, but thinking about having to work under Zhou in the future, he sighed, "Old lady, the second lady was indeed quite good before, but... the old slave is also When it’s time to retire, I won’t let the eldest lady be in trouble.”

At this point, the old lady still doesn’t understand anything.

Unable to keep the shopkeeper, the old lady turned around and asked Mrs. Zhou to come.

Mr. Zhou didn't know what the old lady was looking for at this moment, so she came in a hurry.

"Mother, why did you find your daughter-in-law at this time, but what happened?" "Shopkeeper Shen, why did you leave the silk shop?"

"Mother, mother, do you know everything?" Mrs. Zhou blinked her eyes, obviously feeling guilty, but soon a trace of ruthlessness appeared on her face, "Mother, my daughter-in-law knows that Lao Shen belongs to the old man of our Hou Mansion. If I don't have to, I won't drive people away. Do you know how much influence Lao Shen has had on our silk and satin shop..."

Zhou looked aggrieved and blamed all her wrong decisions on Lao Shen.

Now that Lao Shen has left the capital, the old lady naturally has no way to verify the authenticity of these words, but Nanny Huang has returned from the silk shop.

In front of Mrs. Zhou, Aunt Huang Fufu came to the old lady.

She whispered beside the old lady, and Zhou was sweating.

After Nanny Huang finished speaking, the old lady looked at Mr. Zhou secretly, "It's almost January. Is the revenue of your shops comparable to that of second-family homes?"

"Mom, don't worry, it's certainly better than this."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

The old lady didn't say anything more, gave Zhou a look and asked her to exit.

As soon as Mrs. Zhou left, the old lady threw the teacup on the ground angrily, "Mr. Zhou has really disgraced the face of my Marquis Mansion. Do the people in the government really say that?"

"Yes."

Aunt Huang also had an unexpected expression. After all, Zhou lost so much in order to win. It was almost a month and she was very curious about how she could pay the debt.

"Old madam, you didn't expose Zhou because you wanted to see how she planned to make up for it?"

"She was so confident, I was really curious."

The old lady clenched her hands into fists. Nanny Huang looked at the old lady. She was silent for a moment before bowing and said: "Old madam, do you think the eldest lady will do something wrong in order to pay an account?"

"Send someone to keep an eye on it."

"Yes."

After warning Aunt Huang, the old lady went to rest.

The Hou Mansion has not been peaceful recently, and her whole body is about to fall apart due to anger.

At that time, Mrs. Zhou had already returned to the shop. She was seeing more and more losses, and the only thing that flashed in her mind was Tan Zhixu.

She sent someone to the government and agreed to pay the fine in three days before going to the restaurant.

When she first arrived at the restaurant, she saw that the lobby was crowded. She thought to herself, how much money would this cost?
Originally, Mrs. Zhou wanted a restaurant, but the restaurant was built by Tan Zhixu. No matter how many times she proposed to the old lady, the old lady refused.

Even when Mrs. Zhou expressed her desire for a restaurant for the last time, the old lady glared at her, "Mrs. Zhou, you have to understand that the sound of the restaurant has never been touched by the Hou Mansion. It was Tan Zhixu who started it." Yes, you want it halfway now, are you really not afraid that Tan Zhixu will cause something to happen?"

"Mother, I am also thinking about our Hou Mansion. Now everyone outside knows how powerful Tan Zhixu is. What if Tan Zhixu is the head of the family who doesn't know?"

As soon as these words came out, the old lady laughed.

How could she not see Zhou's tricks? Now she is just laughing at Zhou's stupidity.
