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

Chapter 87 Stay with me and torture slowly

The look in their eyes made Qiu Qin unable to stop thinking about it, but she couldn't figure out why they had such expressions.

Knowing that Tan Zhixu smiled and waved, signaling to the ladies not to be anxious, she watched as Tan Zhixu stood up and came to her.

"Miss Qiu, my shop in the Marquis Mansion has its own rules. If you want to come, I will naturally welcome you, but now my shop's clerks are really enough."

"So, you still don't want to use me, right?" Qiu Qin still had an aggrieved expression.

"That's not true, it's just..." Tan Zhixu looked at Qiu Qin in confusion.

Qiu Qin instantly caught the looseness in Tan Zhixu's eyes, "Second Madam, please tell me, now I am helpless in the capital. If I can get the protection of Second Madam, I can do anything."

"Miss Qiu, do you really mean what you said?"

"Yes."

Qiu Qin nodded heavily, as if she was worried that Tan Zhixu wouldn't believe it. She wanted to salute again, but this time Tan Zhixu stopped her.

"Miss Qiu looks so serious. So many ladies are here, so I asked them to be witnesses."

"All the clerks in the Hou Mansion must sign an agreement with the Hou Mansion. They will not betray the Hou Mansion no matter what in the future. Even when problems arise between the Hou Mansion and other people or the shop, they must support the Hou Mansion unconditionally."

"Then what if the shop owned by the Hou Mansion can't handle the people?"

"What did you say?"

A lady standing next to Tan Zhixu seemed to have heard a big joke and couldn't help shouting, followed by shocking laughter.

"I'm laughing so hard. This is really your first time in the capital!"

"Yes, madam, why are you laughing? This is indeed the first time for this young lady to come to the capital."

Qiu Qin blushed at the lady's laughter. The feeling of being ridiculed was extremely uncomfortable.

The lady who was questioned by Qiu Qin was not angry, but said leisurely: "The second lady's shop will not deceive the people."

"I agree with this. I have bought things from Second Madam's shop many times. Compared with other stores, Second Madam is simply a kind person."

"That's right, that's good quality and low price. It's the shop run by the second lady."

For a time, everyone was praising Tan Zhixu.

This was something Tan Zhixu didn't expect. She originally thought that the better ladies would talk about her, but she never expected that so many people would defend her.

She was instantly moved and her eyes became moist.

Tan Zhixu slightly saluted the ladies and said, "Thank you ladies for your recognition of me. Since Miss Qiu has said this, it only means that Miss Qiu is not suitable for my shop. I don't know why she insists on coming to my shop." shop, but you still question me!"

Speaking of this, Tan Zhixu looked sad.

Qiu Qin, who had not yet come to her senses, was confused for a moment and hesitated for a while without saying anything.

"Okay, Miss Qiu, you are as beautiful as a flower. If you want to make a living in Beijing, you can still make a living, so don't drag the second lady with you."

"Yes."

Tan Zhixu saw that time was almost up, so he decided to make a quick decision, "Alright, Miss Qiu, I'm a person who has always been suspicious of others, so I don't need to trust others. You...I will never use you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Linger and Mrs. Xu came back.

"Why is it so lively?"

Mrs. Xu still looked condescending. Those who complimented her briefly told her about Qiu Qin when they heard her question.

Mrs. Xu looked relaxed, "How can such a simple thing be so complicated? Isn't the Second Madam a kind person? Isn't this a helpful thing?"

"Mrs. Xu has given you too much praise. When I run business in the Hou Mansion, I can't just do good deeds. What's more, Miss Qiu doesn't approve of me helping the Hou Mansion's shop. I don't think there is any need to force it." "I didn't, I didn't mean that, I want to stay in the Hou Mansion."

"Okay, since the Second Madam can't tolerate you like this, you don't have to force me. Just follow me. I can still afford to have you in my house."

Mrs. Xu opened her mouth, Qiu Qin panicked and quickly knelt on the ground.

When everyone thought she wanted to thank Mrs. Xu, she said with a tearful voice: "Mrs. Xu, thank you for your kindness, but the little girl admires the second lady very much and just wants to stay in the Marquis's shop."

"you."

Mrs. Xu was not happy to be refuted in person. Even Song Ling'er didn't expect that she would say this. She looked at her angrily, "Qiu Qin, are you crazy? Although the shop in my Hou Mansion is good, , but my second sister-in-law is very strict with the shop assistants, since Mrs. Xu wants you, just go with her."

"Thank you very much, Miss Song, for speaking kindly to the little girl, but I just want to stay in the shop."

Tan Zhixu has now heard clearly that Qiu Qin is obsessed with him.

Okay, very good, I have experienced life and death once, how can I still be afraid of this woman?
"Miss Qiu, you must know that our house does not support traitors. Even if you feel that our house did something wrong in the future, you cannot say otherwise."

"Yes, I can do it."

"And you are not allowed to leave the Hou Mansion for ten years. You must do whatever I ask you to do within these ten years."

"Ah, what's the difference between the Marquis's shop and a brothel?"

Mrs. Wang asked back without knowing why, and Tan Zhixu laughed at her and nodded.

"It is indeed no different from a brothel. I have the final say in everything. Of course, the wages are the highest in the entire capital. If you do a good job, you will get extra wages."

"I've heard about this. It seems that if you want to get high wages, you have to pay something."

"What Mrs. Wang said makes perfect sense."

Mrs. Wang nodded to Tan Zhixu, then looked at Qiu Qin, "Girl, I'm curious. When I listened to you just now, I didn't realize how much you admire the Second Madam. Why do you have to stay in the Hou Mansion?"

"I, I just want to."

Qiu Qin's words were obviously not as convincing as they were at first.

But it doesn't matter, Tan Zhixu has decided to keep her.

Her purpose is so strong that it would be a disaster not to stay by her side. If she stays by her side, she can monitor her every move.

"Okay, everyone, I have said these things today. Since Miss Qiu is still staying in my shop in the Marquis Mansion, I can only be as beautiful as an adult."

"Second Madam, do you want to keep me?"

"Yes,"

"Thank you, Second Madam. Thank you, Second Madam." Qiu Qin looked at Tan Zhixu flattered and kowtowed to her several times.

Tan Zhixu didn't say anything, but just waved to Gu Yu to take Qiu Qin to sign the agreement first, while he and the other ladies continued to enjoy the flowers.

After Qiuqin's incident, Tan Zhike can be said to have left an excellent impression on all the ladies.

Before the flower-viewing dialogue began, the officials were chatting among themselves.

In the past flower viewing parties, the lady and her husband were held in separate places, but this year the Queen said she hoped to enhance the relationship between men and women.

Married and unmarried men and women can communicate with each other.

This was the top blind date banquet in Tan Zhixu. As a widow, she naturally didn't want to participate in it, so she found a place where crabapple flowers were in full bloom and planned to go and sit there. However, she unexpectedly heard several ministers mocking Gu Huaijing. .
