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

Chapter 298 Losing face, trying to climb high again

Logically speaking, this is a good thing, but the reason why Zhou didn't agree is also very simple. Why did Song Ling'er require their eldest brother to also get money for what Song Ling'er did?

This banquet is naturally of high standard, so how much money will it cost?

Zhou's body ached when she thought of this. After thinking about it, she knew she should go find Tan Zhixu.

Tan Zhixu is happy now that she doesn't have to manage so many shops. After all, she has almost saved all the money she should have saved. She has also made money that she could earn by using the shop before, so there is no need to worry.

I didn't know that Zhou was actually here.

Ever since the family division, Mr. Zhou had always treated her harshly. Even when they met face to face, she would snort, turn around and leave.

This is the first time I have come to my door.

"Brother and sister, are you going to the shop?"

"What, no?"

Tan Zhixu did not give Zhou any face and responded coldly.

She didn't really want to provoke the Zhou family. She just wanted to test it out by speaking like this to see if she really wanted something.

"Okay, okay, whatever the younger siblings want to do, of course you can do it." Ms. Zhou looked at Tan Zhixu with a smile, without any sign of anger.

This is a bit interesting. Tan Zhixu firmly believed that Mrs. Zhou was a weasel and had no good intentions in paying New Year greetings to the chicken.

She turned her eyes and looked at Mrs. Zhou a few times, "Sister-in-law, why are you looking for me?"

Tan Zhixu showed displeasure. Even if Zhou wanted to hesitate, there was no such chance now. She cleared her throat and flatteringly took Tan Zhixu's arm, "Brother and sister, you said you and I are in the Marquis Mansion." Can he be considered an outsider?"

"Sister-in-law, if the old lady hears what you said, she will probably be angry."

Tan Zhixu calmly shook off Zhou's hand.

Mrs. Zhou smiled awkwardly, "Of course I didn't mean that. We married into the Hou family after all. Now Song Ling'er plans to entertain the dignitaries of the capital. Did you know?"

"I know, didn't Ling'er send someone to tell me? He also took some money from me, saying it would be used for the banquet."

"Did you give it to me?"

Zhou's originally smiling face now had no smile at all.

Looking at Mrs. Zhou who stood up suddenly, Tan Zhixu suppressed a smile, knowing that she wanted to encourage him not to give money to Song Ling'er.

However, she was surprised. Is Mr. Zhou a fool?

Song Ling'er dared to ask for money blatantly, which meant that the matter was discussed with the old lady. If she didn't accept it, she would definitely make things difficult for her.

"Of course, Ling'er is doing this for the sake of our Hou Mansion. How can I not cooperate?"

Tan Zhixu looked at Zhou in confusion.

Zhou was furious, her cheeks turned red, and her hands clenched into fists.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Tan Zhixu pretended not to understand and looked at Mr. Zhou cutely.

When their eyes met, Zhou was instantly so angry at Tan Zhixu's ignorant look that he almost couldn't breathe.

"fine."

Mrs. Zhou flicked her sleeves and turned around to leave.

Tan Zhixu almost laughed out loud when he saw Mrs. Zhou like this. He really wanted to drag people into trouble for everything.

"Girl, Mrs. Zhou is so bad. Are you just trying to get you to go against the older girl?" Gu Yu saw Mrs. Zhou's little thoughts and vented his resentment towards Mrs. Zhou.

Tan Zhixu agreed, and then asked Gu Yu to speak in a lower voice, "Go to Jing'an Hall and see what the old lady and Song Ling'er have planned?"

"Yes."

Gu Yu seemed to be waiting for Tan Zhixu to say this. As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yu ran away. Tan Zhixu couldn't help but smile when he saw Gu Yu's hurried back, "I'm really anxious."

She didn't think much about it, and waited for Gu Yu to come back while tidying up.

Gu Yu came back an hour later. When he saw Tan Zhixu, she had an ugly expression on her face and said, "Girl, the old lady and the eldest lady are so different. They are exactly the same as Mr. Zhou thought."

Tan Zhixu nodded clearly. It seemed that Song Ling'er really planned to treat the famous person to her and spend the money on them.

Gu Yu told Tan Zhixu everything he heard.

"Girl, are we really going to spend money to improve Song Ling'er's reputation?"

"Of course it's impossible."

Tan Zhixu gave Gu Yu a smile.

She rarely sees her girls smiling like this, but whenever she sees such a smile, it means someone is going to suffer. Gu Yu came to Tan Zhixu with a smile on her face and said, "Girl, what do you plan to do? I will give you my full support."

"Don't worry, I won't miss you."

Tan Zhixu gave Gu Yu a knowing look.

Guyu burst out laughing instantly, "Girl, what do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple, if you do this..."

Tan Zhixu waved Gu Yu to come to him, and then whispered a few words in her ear.

After hearing what Tan Zhixu said, Gu Yu's eyes widened instantly, "Girl, are you really planning to do this?"

"Of course, if Song Ling'er dares to use my money, she will have to pay a price." Tan Zhixu chuckled, not as worried as Gu Yu.

Gu Yu knew his girl well and knew that she would definitely do what she said, so she simply wasn't so worried.

For the next period of time, Song Ling'er wandered around the dignitaries in the capital, leaving all the dirty work to Tan Zhixu and Zhou.

Zhou did it reluctantly, but Tan Zhixu enjoyed it.

"Gu Yu, you go to the old lady and ask the old lady if these old ladies need to be invited..." Tan Zhixu gave the list to Gu Yu.

Gu Yu, who was muttering at first, saw the list and went straight to the old lady's yard angrily.

In Jing'an Hall, the old lady praised Tan Zhixu even more when she saw the list, "Okay, just follow your master's wishes."

The old lady nodded with satisfaction and asked Gu Yu to go out with the list.

When Guyu returned to the courtyard, Tan Zhixu started to invite people according to the list. Originally, Song Ling'er should do these things, but now she only cares about her own interests and doesn't care about anything else. She is just the boss.

Gu Yu and Tan Zhixu worked separately and quickly determined the list.

They already knew these people, and it was relatively easy to invite them. Many people heard that the Marquis Mansion was hosting a banquet, and even if they didn't want to go, they still took action for Tan Zhixu's sake.

"But the main guest of this banquet is Ling'er, the eldest daughter of the Hou family..."

Just now someone decided to go because of Tan Zhixu's sake. It was reported that Song Ling'er was in charge of the banquet, and many people began to hesitate.

"Then shall we go?"

In private, several ladies tested each other.

In the end, no countermeasure was discussed, but even though he agreed, he had no choice but to go ahead.

After three days of preparation, Tan Zhixu became famous in private, but Song Ling'er only thought about recruiting those ministers, but ignored many wives from small families.

She only cares about high-ranking families, but forgets that the wife of a minor minister has the most say. After all, there are many such people.
