Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 129 Persuasion
When Mrs. Hai asked, the maid who stood behind her coughed lightly, and lowered her head a little cautiously, "Well, lady, the official has gone to Qingshui County—it seems to be drinking with some friends!"

"Friend?" Mrs. Hai sneered, and her voice became sharper: "Is it with the surnamed Huang?! How many times have I told you not to be with those cronies? He just doesn't listen! I don't know about those shameless ones. What kind of soup was poured into him..."

Cursing angrily, Mrs. Hai didn't care that there were outsiders here.

"Little lady, you said just now that the person surnamed Huang has raised an outside room, right? Could it be that my stinky man also..."

"Sister-in-law's overthinking, Mr. Hai has always loved you, how could you do such a thing? Even if you were dragged to that kind of place..." Covering her mouth, Gu Sixiao looked at Mrs. Hai with her eyes wide open. Turn straight, with an expression that he said something wrong and was too careless.

But she was right, Hai Da officials rushed to Qingshui County, nine out of ten it was Li Chongyang's appointment to meet that Meier girl in Langui Pavilion.

As soon as she spoke, Hai Niangzi's complexion darkened, she squeezed her hands, and she shouted in a deep voice: "Go and call me the third son, I want to ask clearly, why does he look at his brother-in-law!"

But after a while, a young man strode in and saw Mrs. Hai, still smiling, but when he was asked, "Where is your brother-in-law?" the young man made a bitter face.

Turning his head to look at the two of Gu Sixiao, he smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, there are outsiders here!"

"Little lady is not considered an outsider," Mrs. Hai snorted coldly, "If you know how to save face, then don't do such shameful things! Little Sanzi, tell the truth, has your brother-in-law gone to eat flower wine?"

Without saying a word, the young man lowered his head, apparently acquiescing to the matter.

Hai Niangzi was furious when she heard the words, she slapped the table and stood up, "You, go to Qingshui County immediately and call your brother-in-law back to me! Just say that I'm sick, and if he doesn't come back, he won't be able to see me again!"

"Sister-in-law, what should I do..." Gu Sixiao stood up fearfully.

"I came here specially to visit Mrs. Sister-in-law, out of good intentions, and I also wanted to meet Hai Daguan and talk about business matters, but I didn't want to have caused such a big disaster-if my father knew, he would scold me to death It's..."

As she spoke, tears were already in her eyes, like a frightened girl.

The more she pretended to be pitiful, the softer Hai Niangzi looked at her.

"Don't panic, little lady, don't worry, it's none of your business, these men, it's impossible not to teach them a lesson, they! Yeah, why am I telling you this? Anyway, you Don't worry, what do you want to say to my man, I'm here! Don't be afraid..."

Shaking her head, she complained: "Your family is too, how can you let a young lady like you come out to discuss business? How good is it to stay at home to embroider and chat with your sisters?!"

Gu Sixiao lowered her head and said in a low voice: "It's not my father's fault. My sister-in-law doesn't know that our Xue family has no males in this generation, so we can only rely on our sisters. Now, my second sister helps my father take care of it. For business, I have made up my mind not to marry, but only to recruit a son-in-law. Although I am an adopted daughter recognized by my father, I should repay my kindness and help the family with what I can do—I don’t want to do too much. , as long as you can help my second sister and dad share some worries..."

"Poor thing, she's such a good boy..." Mrs. Hai is rough and bold, but she also has the tenderness of a woman. Hearing Gu Sixiao's words, she couldn't help wiping the corners of her eyes.

"Don't call me Mrs. Sister-in-law anymore. In terms of age, my big girl is as old as you. If you don't mind, just call me auntie. I recognize you as a niece..."

"This..." Gu Sixiao hesitated, "Official Hai has misunderstood me, I'm afraid he..."

"It's me! What are you afraid of him?!" Hai Niangzi slapped her chest, "Don't worry about him, he just made a fortune and got involved. Back then, we were just poor people living on the sea, If I hadn't met a noble person, I would still be eating by the sea! How can I live such a rich life!"

"I'm also an official of the Hai family—Uncle Hai has the ability to have this wealth. Besides, my aunt runs the family well, otherwise Uncle Hai is capable, worrying about the family all day long, what career can he do? "

"Look, you have a sweet mouth! Hua'er, can I call you like this? And you, you are here, don't worry about business matters, just stay at my aunt's house for two days, ah , I asked the girls to come and play with you..."

While talking, Mrs. Hai has already turned her head to ask the two young ladies to come out to meet the guests.

Gu Sixiao responded with a smile, chatted with Mrs. Hai, turned to the shopkeeper Zhang who was blinking, and nodded slightly.

From the looks of it, it seemed that they were just dating, not doing anything related to business.

But sometimes, this business is not negotiated bit by bit.

Let's not mention Gu Sixiao's marriage in Dongkou, just say that Li Chongyang is in Qingshui County, and he ordered a good table in Langui Pavilion.

As soon as Mr. Hai arrived, he immediately invited the guests to the table. Besides Mrs. Hai's old friend Mei'er, he also called several young ladies.

"Senior officer, we have had drinks together before, but we have never had a serious heart-to-heart talk. Today is a rare opportunity, let me get close to the official."

Hai Daguan was not polite, and directly hummed: "What's there to get close to? It's just a business! I've talked a lot with Brother Huang about these things, if you want to know anything, just ask him. "

"Master Hai, I'm really ashamed. Although I have been friends with Brother Huang for many years, I haven't been able to help him. It's just that the one who hurt Brother Huang this time is the youngest daughter of our boss. Both the boss and the young boss listen to her. If you say that, you have confirmed that Big Brother Huang is greedy for ink, and I, a little manager, are so soft-spoken, it is really..."

Sighing, Li Chongyang pushed everything on Gu Sixiao.

"This time, the little lady came with me, but she was afraid of the officials of the sea, so she didn't dare to come."

"Hmph, how can a little lady cause such a big trouble? In my opinion, it's not that the little lady is capable, but that your friend is too useless!"

Hai Daguan spoke arrogantly, even though Li Chongyang's face was flushed, he didn't show any virtue.

"Oh, senior official, you can't say that about Guanshi Li!" Meier, who was sitting next to the senior official Hai, flicked the handkerchief in her hand and hit the senior official Hai.

He complained: "You have no conscience, you haven't come to see me for so long, if Manager Li hadn't come forward to help me invite you, why wouldn't you come? Don't even think about it, how people expect you to come—these days , Just thinking about you makes my heart ache..."

While talking, she took the hand of Daguan Hai to touch her chest, "Touch her, her heart is so painful because of you that it's about to break."

"You can touch it with your hands if your heart is broken?!" Hai Daguan laughed, pinching the roundness under his finger, but forgot to say those words of Li Chongyang.

"Little boy, didn't you sell me, a high official, because Manager Li gave you money?"

"The high officials talk nonsense, Xue Ji just wants to buy your gems, how can he buy the high officials?"

Jiaochen, Mei'er pulled Mr. Hai and whispered in his ear, "Hurry up and talk to him about something serious, and we'll get rid of him after the talk, the two of us—he misses you so much! You don't want a slave?!"

With a sweet voice and breath like blue, even a hard-hearted official Hai Daguan will be seduced by him.

Seeing that Hai Daguan was about to accept the deal, the smile on Li Chongyang's face became wider.

"Senior officer, although Big Brother Huang is not going to do it anymore, other things will be done as before, and we will never let Mr. Hai suffer. You can trust me..."

"If you want me to suffer, it depends on whether you, Xue Ji, have that ability! I'm not afraid to tell you that the big boss behind me is not something a small merchant like you can afford."

Hai Daguan held the beauty in his arms, and spoke a little easy-going, "Well, let's do it! The price I gave to shopkeeper Huang before was because of his favor and face. If you still want to continue to cooperate, you can Raise the price by [-]%! How about it? Can you call the shots?"

"Increase by [-]%?!" Li Chongyang pursed his lips, but did not respond immediately.

To be honest, he knew these gems well. Although in Middle Earth, the gems they bought were not bad, but in Hai Daguan, such gems can only be regarded as second- or third-rate goods, not high-quality goods.

If you add [-]% to that price, it's really hard for them to do anything else.

After pondering for a long while, Li Chongyang gritted his teeth and was about to agree, but suddenly someone knocked on the door.

The one who fell through the door was the entourage of Hai Daguan, who staggered into the door and fell to the ground without standing still.

Li Chongyang was taken aback, he thought it was some rascal coming, and jumped up in shock.

The women on the side were also frightened and got up in a hurry, screaming.

Hai Daguan, however, put his arms around Meier and sat firmly on Mount Tai, "Which one who doesn't open his eyes dares to make trouble in front of your Grandpa Hai!?"

"Brother-in-law!" The young man who answered him spoke in a low voice, with a smile on his face.

But the official Hai seemed to be frightened, "Little Sanzi, what are you doing here? You, aren't you at home with your sister?"

"Yes, brother-in-law," the third son smiled at Hai Daguan and said in a flat voice, "brother-in-law, my sister said, no matter where you are! Please go home immediately, she is ill, if you are slow Half a step away, you won't see her."

"Your sister is sick?" Hai Daguan blinked, looking completely different from the arrogance just now.

Li Chongyang was anxious when he heard this, and kept winking at Meier.

Mei'er hugged the senior official Hai and complained coquettishly: "Mr. Hai, are you really going to leave? Is the tigress at home so fierce?"

"Who do you call a tigress?" The third son raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly: "Shameless bitch! I'm so used to you getting angry!"

"You, you scolded me?!" Mei'er was so angry that her face turned red, she pulled the senior official Hai and shook her, "Your official, you heard me, he dared to scold me?! Isn't he just a yellow-faced woman? How dare you pretend to be sick to seduce a man! With that ability, she will come and snatch him herself! Senior official, don’t pay attention to her, let her die of illness?!"

As soon as the words fell, Hai Daguan slapped her across the face.

Being beaten in a daze, Mei'er stayed for a while before realizing, "You, you hit me? Senior official, are you crazy?!"
