Lord Shang Shu is easy to bend down

Chapter 173 Shop 2 (Kong's humiliation)
Shopkeeper Zhao was taken aback for a moment, but didn't answer any further questions.

At this time, Bai Shi, who was sitting on the side, secretly raised her head and glanced at Xie Yuanniang. Xie Yuanniang smiled back kindly, and then looked at Zhao Gui, "Don't worry about the downturn in front of the shop. I have some ideas, wait After I go back, I'll think about it in detail, and I'll ask Ling Mei to come over and tell you what to do then."

It can be regarded as making preparations for Lingmei and Zhao Gui's future joint.

Zhao Gui responded in a timely manner, "Your servant will remember, you just need to rest assured, girl."

After the matter was settled, Xie Yuanniang didn't stay any longer, so she got up and went back home.

The mansion is very quiet, and there is nothing else going on.

Xie Yuanniang ran outside for a day, and when she returned to Qingshanyuan, she leaned on the couch and thought about how to make the pen and ink shop attract people's eyes. Unknowingly, when it was time for dinner, she asked someone to go to Jinganju to reply, and only said that she was tired. The yard is used.

In the Jing'an residence, Mrs. Kong waved her hands indifferently after listening to Mama Liu's reply, "Go with her. If she doesn't come to eat, we will be quiet."

Xie Wenhui wasn't in the mood to eat either. After returning from the Su Mansion, all she could think about was how to turn the eyes of the people behind her away, and she couldn't think of a good way even though she tried hard.

In this way, there will be less food to eat.

Kong noticed it, "Do you have something on your mind?"

Father Xie is too busy these days, and still hasn't returned home for dinner, and there are only mother and daughter at the dinner table.

Xie Wenhui couldn't talk about what was on his mind, so he just shook his head.

Mrs. Kong thought for a while, "Is the pen and ink in your yard almost used up? I'll have someone send some more tomorrow. The good ones are for normal use. If Yuan Niang goes to your yard, I'll take out the bad ones."

"Mother, what do you think if Yuanniang finds out about this matter?" Xie Wenhui didn't like Xie Yuanniang, but this matter was too petty.

The same is a daughter, so what if she uses rice paper as well as Xie Yuanniang?Why do you have to be sneaky?

She didn't understand the previous life, but she listened to her mother.

In this life, she doesn't want to live in such a muddled way.

Kong said with a smile, "You also know that she has a good temper. You need to know that you both use the same things, and you have to fight to buy her better rice paper. You know what our family is like, and it is all supported by my dowry."

Xie Wenhui stopped talking, wanted to say 'I don't need better rice paper in the future' but couldn't, so she could only nod reluctantly in response.

These things don't need to be done by Kong himself, but naturally, he should be handed over to Mother Liu.

The next day, Ms. Liu went to Dagongfang in person. After hearing what shopkeeper Zhao said, Ms. Liu shook her head and asked with a smile, "Is this what my uncle ordered?"

"The master explained it a few days ago. As for why he said this, he has no reason to explain it to our servants. I hope Mama Liu can understand it more." Shopkeeper Zhao looked honest, but he was also a business material, otherwise he would Will not manage this shop.

Mother Liu thanked her knowingly, and then said, "I didn't bring any money with me when I went out to rush, how about this, now you let your noble son go to the house with me to get the money, is it convenient?"

Speaking of this, shopkeeper Zhao naturally wouldn't be embarrassed, so he asked his son to go to Xie's mansion with Liu mother, and when he arrived at Xie's mansion, Liu mother asked Zhao Gui to drink tea at the concierge and wait, and she hurried to the inside hospital.

After hearing Madam Liu's words, Mrs. Kong was also stunned, "Did I make a mistake? All the pens and inks used by our family these years have been brought from that shop, and we have never asked for money."

Mother Liu felt that this matter was strange, "I don't want to ask more questions, so I brought the shopkeeper Zhao's son back with me, and arranged for him to wait at the concierge."

What are you waiting for?
Of course it is money.

Mrs. Kong understood, and she frowned, "Let the cashier pay the money first, and now I'll write to my sister-in-law to ask what's going on."

After hesitating, Mama Liu reminded, "What should Madam say to Uncle Madam in the letter?"

Kong was stunned for a moment, "Why don't you ask directly?"

Ms. Liu sighed inwardly, Madam was spoiled after all, she has been a woman for many years now, she still behaves like Confucian Confucian daughter-in-law, but she forgot that she is a married woman and Xie's wife.

"The shop belongs to my uncle. My uncle has taken care of our house all these years. That's why my uncle doesn't treat us as outsiders. But if you ask me more carefully, my uncle is the daughter-in-law of the Kong family. The shop is not the private property of the Kong family. The wife is Kong's family." But my daughter can’t just use the things in the shop.” Liu’s mother almost said directly, “It’s friendship for you, and it’s duty not to use it for nothing.” Gao Jiu looked at her in a daze, with an expression of confusion on her face, and Mother Liu felt a headache, "Madam, you can't just write to Madam Uncle why you can't use the things in the shop for nothing now, can you?"

Why do people use it for nothing?
Only then did Kong let out a long 'oh', "It's really not good to write directly to ask you what you said. But after so many years of using things in the store, they are suddenly not allowed to use them now. It is impossible to do this for no reason. , could it be that Yuan Niang offended someone when Sister Yan came?"

Mother Liu opened her mouth, but she didn't say much.

To be honest, the Kong family prefers the second girl more, so how could the second girl be angry because the second girl offended sister Yan, let her say, these years, my uncle and wife can let the family use the things in the shop for nothing, it is better to see For the sake of the second girl.

Thinking about it in her heart, mother Liu dared not say these words, knowing that if she said them, the wife would explode immediately.

Sensing that Madam was looking at her, Mother Liu thought for a while, "It's not easy to ask Madam Uncle about this matter, even if I really offend Madam Liu, I won't tell Madam Uncle."

Kong immediately had an idea, and asked Manyun to prepare pen and ink, "Then I'll write to my mother, she will never lie to me."

Mother Liu didn't stop or persuade her this time.

After Kong finished writing the letter, he was sent to Jiangning County on the same day.

Mother Liu at the concierge went in person, took Zhao Gui to the accountant, and sent him away after receiving the money, which did not alarm anyone.

But when he turned around, Zhao Gui told Ling Mei what happened in the shop on the grounds of looking for Ling Mei at the back door. When Qingshan Academy learned about this, they praised Zhao Gui several times.

Xie Yuanniang and Zuidong saw it, and they just held back their laughter and didn't expose it. When Lingmei finished learning the matter excitedly, Xie Yuanniang knew it well, and asked jokingly, "It's rare to be called sister, I think you will be excited to sleep for a few days. Oh no."

Lingmei blushed, and admitted generously, "Zhao Gui is called Numaid's sister, and Numaid will treat her as a younger brother in the future."
