Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1006 Beauty Bureau
In a blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of the first lunar month.

This day is called "Horse Day". The shops in the market, after the annual holiday, all start to open on this day.

According to the customs of the capital, this day is also the day when married aunts return home to visit relatives.

The day before Chu Yu sent someone back to Prince Chun's Mansion to inquire, and knowing that Wu Gege would return to the province that day, she stayed at her in-law's house to entertain the aunt who returned to the province.

After all, she is the head wife, and the house cannot do without her.Since there is a younger sister going back this year, her mother's house will not be deserted, so she doesn't have to go back to the province this day.

The three brothers of the Cao family finished their breakfast early and went out to pick up their aunts.Cao Yong went to Pingjun Prince's Mansion, Cao Song went to Sun's Mansion, and Cao Fu went to Guogong Mansion.

The three families were not far from Cao's mansion. At the beginning of Sichu (nine o'clock in the morning), the carriages of the three sisters arrived one after another.

Mrs. Zhao Jia and her two daughters-in-law were waiting in Lan Yuan.She also knew that if she didn't come, Cao Yi wouldn't go back to Dongfu either.Besides, she still wanted to flatter Cao Jiashi, so she came here in a hurry.Cao Jia's is the county king Fujin, and she has always been popular among the clan's female relatives. In the future, when the fourth sister and fifth son are drafted, she will have to help with cooking.

Because all three sisters Cao Ying came back this year, Jing Hui and Su Xin stayed at her husband's house instead of visiting relatives at her mother's house.

Speaking of today, it can be regarded as double happiness.

Not to mention Cao Song’s return, there is also news of Naersu’s return. He has handed in the seal of the Northwest Army to return to Beijing on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.

Five or six years after Naersu left, it was really not easy for Cao Jia, a woman, to take care of several sons.Finally, she managed to make it through, and everyone was happy for her.

Zhao Jia looked at the graceful and luxurious Cao Jia, and then at Cao Yi who was sitting upright and smiling, and could only complain in his heart. It was the old lady who made random references to the mandarin ducks, which made Cao Ying marry the wrong man.

From Sun Wencheng onwards, the Sun family has always been lonely.If it were any other family, they would not treat Cao Ying wrongly if they only looked at the power of the brothers and sisters of the Cao family.

Cao Ying, on the other hand, looked away, and felt that the two younger sisters had a better life than her, so she couldn't feel jealous, only grateful.

From her point of view, life is fine if it goes on like this.When the son grows up and enters school, he will marry a virtuous daughter-in-law; the daughter will let a few uncles pay attention and find an honest family.

As for her husband, Sun Jue, as long as she doesn't bother her, she will recite Amitabha.

The three sisters of the Cao family, apart from those who married into the clan, even Cao Ying, because the husband and wife separated from each other, shared the Zhuangzi and made some money, so their lives are considered acceptable.

When they go back to their natal home, this gift is prepared long ago, and they don't buy it from the street.When women from ordinary families go to their natal homes, they usually buy a few packs of pasta from the pastry shop, and then buy some dried and fresh fruits from the fruit bureau, which is considered a full courtesy.

Therefore, on this day, the business in Daoxiang Village was booming.

Especially the Qianmen main store, because of its good location, there are many pedestrians passing by, and the people who buy pastries line up to the end of the street.

Fortunately, Daoxiang Village has been open for several years, and the shopkeeper has long been experienced. From the fourth day of junior high school, there are staff working overtime, turning on the oven, and baking a lot of hard noodles in advance.

Here, Zhao Er from Qianjie ran into his neighbor Chen Chun, and the two greeted each other yelling.

"Second brother buys fruit, is this sister-in-law returning to her mother's house?" Chen Chun asked.

Zhao Er responded with a smile, and said: "Dachun, why are you here to buy pastries, and my aunt won't talk about you?"

Chen Chun scratched the back of his head, and said with a sneer: "My mother asked me to come, and she said she wanted to take me back to my grandma's house in Fengtai."

"Last time I heard from your sister-in-law that my aunt wanted to call you a daughter-in-law from her natal family, so it seems to be true." Seeing his blushing face, Zhao Er joked.

The two were talking, and there was a commotion in the nearby silk and satin factory.

The two stopped in unison, and both looked over there.

But there are many people watching the excitement, and they surround the entrance of the silk and satin village, making it hard for people to see clearly.

The two wanted to watch the excitement, but also cared about the team, so they could only stretch their necks.

Someone said loudly: "Let go of me, I'm not a liar!"

"A carload of fine silk and satin, more than 400 taels of silver, what is it if you are not a liar?" Someone said coldly.

It was Sun Jue who was pushed and shoved by the guys and couldn't move independently.

Today is the first day after the new year, and the shopkeeper feels unlucky to encounter such a thing.In addition, looking at Sun Jue's attire, rich or not, expensive or not, he became more and more convinced that he had been fooled.

Sun Jue complained about being wronged, and Qi Lu was also begging for mercy.

It turned out that early this morning, Mrs. Hua told Sun Jue that she wanted to go to the street to buy some silk and satin, saying that she wanted the villagers to bring them back to her natal home in Huizhou.She has a dowry field and two shops, both of which are managed by her natal brothers. Even if she wants to take it back, she must first appease her.

After Sun Jue heard this, he was naturally willing to accompany him, and he was still thinking about how to persuade Hua to exchange all the soft things into silver.

When they arrived at the silk and satin shop, Huashi picked up those expensive silks and satins, and bought a few of each kind, and there were hundreds of them.Because she spent a lot of money and said she was a gift-giving envoy, the shopkeeper was only happy, and she didn't doubt anything.

When it was time to check out, Huashi opened the small box she brought with her, but she had a bitter face.

Inside the box are gold, jade and precious stones, extremely luxurious jewellery.It turned out that she took the wrong box and left the gold box in the inn.

She asked Sun Jue for 20 taels of silver, and handed it over to the counter as a deposit.Sun Jue paid happily, and he was still waiting for Mrs. Hua to take out all the gold and convert it into silver for him to order.

Afterwards, Mrs. Hua said that the returnee was short of time, so she sent her mother-in-law to deliver the silk, while she took her little maid back to the inn to fetch gold.

It was a disaster of more than 400 taels of silver, and only paid 20 taels of deposit. How could the shopkeeper let Huashi go without worry? Not only did he send a clerk to follow the car, but he also sent a clever guy to go back to the inn with Huashi.

These are just habits, but he doesn't believe that someone really dared to go to Brother Jiu's shop to cheat.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for more than half an hour, Mrs. Hua did not come back, only two assistants came back with sad faces.

The shopkeeper's wandering in the market, although he has never encountered this matter, but he has heard of it, he really stared angrily.

Sun Jue still didn't believe that the Hua clan had already spent nearly a hundred taels of silver on him, so why would he throw away his future official lord just because he was greedy for a few pieces of cloth.

However, when the shopkeeper asked someone to go to the inn to ask again, and confirmed that the three masters and servants of the Hua family were gone, Sun Jue believed it.

Seeing that the shopkeeper and his fellows were so vicious, Sun Jue couldn't hold back anymore, and hurriedly revealed his identity, the eldest son of Hangzhou Weaving Mansion.

The shopkeeper is a servant of the prince's mansion, so how can he take a fifth-rank foreign official in his eyes.

However, if someone dared to pluck the hair from the tiger's head, he couldn't make up his own mind on how to deal with it, so he ordered someone to tie up Sun Jue, and he planned to ask Ninth Brother to show him in person.

Sun Jue was not a bold person at all, seeing that they dared to do something, he was already a bear, so he talked about Cao's mansion and Pingjun Wang's mansion.

The shopkeeper hadn't left yet, upon hearing this sentence, someone pulled Sun Jue into the inner hall, asked him a few questions carefully, and then left.

At this moment, the spectators also dispersed, but they were still discussing this matter in twos and threes, mostly admiring the boldness of this liar.

Under the feet of the emperor, the sky is bright and bright, and a cart of silk can be cheated away.

The businessman in front of him, who knew the details of the silk and satin factory, laughed at the liar's stupidity.

That liar is not only stupid, but also insane. He said that he is a relative of the Prince's Mansion and the Bo's Mansion, and he didn't want to show his virtue...

Jiubeizi Mansion, the living room.

Today, my daughter Sangege was visiting her son-in-law, Brother Jiu was in such a good mood that he arranged a banquet and was having wine with her son-in-law Yongfu.

A generation of power ministers, the residence of the Pearl, and the descendants of the direct line withered.

On his deathbed, Kui Xu entrusted his nephews to Brother Jiu.Brother Jiu lived up to his entrustment, and within three years, he had transferred dozens of taels of silver from Nalan's family.

Ninth elder brother is justified, the son-in-law is still young, the father-in-law doesn't control the wealth, who will control it?

As for not paying back, there is no need to be so outspoken.

Since Kui Xu passed away, he has taken good care of Yongfu and his brother Yongshou.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the servant of the sect asked to see him.

Brother Nine knew that these servants in charge of the shop would not dare to disturb him if they had no important business, so they directly asked someone to bring the shopkeeper to the hall to talk.

Seeing that brother Jiu was disturbed for dinner, the shopkeeper knelt on the ground in fear, and told about Sun Jue cheating on silk by passing through the shop.

Brother Jiu's expression darkened when he heard that someone had come to his shop to cause trouble; when he heard that it was a cart of silk and satin, with more than three hundred silver, he frowned and formed the word "Chuan".

As the saying goes, a horse is given by favor, but a needle is not spared in buying and selling.

Even if it is a silk and satin shop, the profit is quite high, and the more than 300 taels of silver is not a small sum.Brother Nine has a businessman's heart, he is generous in eating, drinking and enjoying himself, but he is not willing to suffer in the slightest when it comes to business.

However, when he heard that the person who entered the shop to deceive cloth claimed to be "Sun Jue" and was related to Pingjun Prince's Mansion and Cao Shilang's Mansion, Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled instead.

"It turned out to be him. I didn't expect Sun Wencheng to give birth to a living treasure!" Brother Jiu said with a smile: "Since he dared to go to the master's place to act wildly, we can't spoil him. Take the post from the master and turn it over to Shuntian Mansion."

Seeing this, the shopkeeper was amazed.He thought the master would be furious, but he didn't expect the master to laugh instead of anger.

Yongfu was listening, but felt that the name of "Sun Jue" was familiar to him, and asked, "Father-in-law, is this Sun Jue the uncle of the Cao family, the eldest son of Hangzhou Sun Zhizao?"

Brother Jiu nodded and said, "It's this person, you also recognize it?"

"I don't know, it's just that my elder brother has a good relationship with the second master of the Cao family. This Sun Jue's wife is the sister of the second master of the Cao family... Father-in-law... It's best not to disturb the yamen..." He said with a little hesitated, said.

Brother Nine snorted coldly, and said: "What are the Cao family, why do you want to save face for them? Usually they don't provoke you, and I don't bother to care about them; now that you have provoked me, don't be a master. Vegetarian!"

Since the eighth elder brother died of illness, the Li family in Suzhou began to follow him.Unexpectedly, as soon as the new emperor came to the throne, the Li family's annual ceremony and filial piety would be reduced by half compared to previous years.

Brother Nine was on fire, when Sun Jue, who was related to the Cao and Li families, bumped into his hands, how could he let it go easily.

Cleaning up Sun Jue will not only deter the Li family, but also give Cao Yong two slaps, let him know that he was not avoiding his edge, but was too lazy to talk to him...

Cao Yong got the news at noon, it was not Brother Jiu who sent someone to pass the message, but Wei Hei came back and said.He has already sent Huashi and others out of the capital, erasing all traces.

About Sun Jue being twisted by the slaves of the Nine Princes Mansion to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, Cao Yong also got an eye report.

He knew that this time Sun Jue was going to suffer a lot.Brother Jiu didn't send Sun Jue to the infantry capital's yamen, but to Shuntianfu's yamen, because the Shuntianfu's yamen is more hands-on...
