The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 136

The next day, Mu Yunge got up early with Peixin and Peiying and set off for Mu's shop.

When the helpers heard that the young lady was coming, they all worked hard, and the whole dyeing workshop and cloth workshop were full of people's voices, very lively.Mu Yunge walked around, ordered two skilled helpers to come out, asked some trivial matters, got an answer, and led the girl away.

She went back to the store and asked Manager Xu to bring the ledgers of the shops that Mu's main business operated, and spent an hour and a half checking them before returning the ledgers to Manager Xu.

"How did you do what you were asked to do last time?" She smiled and said, "Have you figured out the situation?"

Manager Xu smiled indifferently and said, "I have lived up to Miss's entrustment, and this old slave has already mastered it pretty well. Jinxiu Fang purchased a total of fourteen shops from the Mu family's compound, seven of which were profitable, and the rest The seven families are working against the manager of the Mu family. The old servants have inquired about it, and the shopkeepers of the seven Jinxiufang branches are all led by shopkeeper Xiao of the Jiekou branch. They will have a small gathering on the seventh day and the twentieth day of the lunar new year. It's in the Phoenix Tower."

"Only the shopkeepers of these seven branches?" Mu Yunge tapped his fingers, and said unhurriedly: "I remember that there are also several Yufang and tea houses mixed in."

Manager Xu nodded: "Yes, the shopkeepers of the seven branches listen to Shopkeeper Xiao, the shopkeepers of the Yufang branch listen to Shopkeeper Liu, and the shopkeeper Wang of the tea house is a fool who never makes up his mind."

Mu Yunge smiled: "Speaking of it this way, as long as Shopkeeper Xiao and Shopkeeper Liu are settled, you don't have to worry about them being disobedient."

Manager Xu sighed: "But these two people rely on their seniority to be old, and their backs are strong. How can they be so easy to obey?"

"The seventh day?" Mu Yunge thought for a while, and then suddenly said: "Today is the fourth day, except for shopkeeper Xiao, you can go to each branch tomorrow and tell me that the fifth day is a good day , I, Mu Yunge, invite all shopkeepers to drink tea at Jingchuntang."

Manager Xu agreed, and personally sent her to the carriage before turning around to do what she ordered.

Today, the Yang Mansion, opposite the Mu family, was marrying his daughter, and the front door was full of traffic, so the coachman drove the carriage straight to the back door of the Mu family.

The carriage had just stopped, and before Mu Yunge got out of the car, Pei Xin suddenly said in a low voice, "Miss, isn't that Aunt Xiao? What is she doing sneakily in the corner?"

Mu Yunge opened the curtain, and really saw Aunt Xiao nervously looking around under the big locust tree at the back door of Mu's house.She turned her back to Mu Yunge and the others, and didn't see Mu Yunge and the others, but kept stomping on the spot with an anxious expression on her face.

Mu Yunge shook his head, motioning them to keep quiet.

Not long after, two men came out from the corner of the street, looked around, and walked straight to Aunt Xiao.

Both of these two men were wearing expensive mink fur coats, with high crowns and jade faces, and they looked quite handsome. They looked about thirty or so in age, and they looked like the young masters of a rich family.As the two walked, they had surprise and doting smiles on their faces. When they reached Aunt Xiao, the man in a dark purple coat put his arms around Aunt Xiao, kissed her heavily on the face, and said with a smile: " How long have you been here, is it cold?"

Peixin and Peiying were shocked, they intuitively saw something they shouldn't have seen, and blushed suddenly.

Mu Yunge was also very shocked. She didn't expect that Aunt Xiao would get so close to these two people. Obviously, her relationship with the man in the dark purple coat was more than that.

Aunt Xiao covered her cheeks and lowered her head slightly: "Not long, just a short while."

The man pinched her cheeks, and said with a teasing smile: "I said not long ago, this little face was reddened by the wind. But I didn't want my heart to hurt, so I said this on purpose. Qingru is caring, making people feel warm in the heart!"

Another man interrupted them with a smile: "Okay, okay, look at the crooked looks of you two, how can I be alone. Let's go, I went late today, maybe they all started, and we ended up in the same place again." You can only see what you can't touch. By the way, Qingru, how much do you plan to bring this time to make a fortune?"

Aunt Xiao looked at him with some dissatisfaction. Because of the man's presence, it was difficult to get angry, and when he asked about something serious, she smiled triumphantly: "It's not much, it's only 5 taels of silver."

What she didn't say was that the money was hard-won, and she got it together by selling all her jewelry and her daughter's and pawning ten shops and land deeds.

All of this was done without telling Shen Jingyu, Aunt Xiao thought to herself, as long as she wins enough money to repair the yard today, she will stop, and she will not be able to get back the pawned things, and she will be invisible.

The man in purple laughed out loud: "Qingru is lucky. The day before yesterday, he used 2000 taels of silver and won them 5000 taels of silver. With these today, it might double after a few games! Anyway, it's too late , Huayang, didn’t you say that the newly opened crab banquet in Zuixianlou is very good, why don’t you be the host and invite Qingru and me to have a meal in Zuixianlou first?”

"Why not?" The man named Hua Yang opened the folding fan in his hand and shook it lightly.

Aunt Xiao shook her head: "The crab feast can be eaten another day, so let's go first."

She lives in Mu's house now, and she is afraid that if she comes out for a long time, Xiao Shi will ask her.

The two men looked at each other with a hint of calculation in their eyes.

The more anxious Aunt Xiao is, the more she shows that she has been thoroughly hooked, and the time has come!

Hua Yang smiled and said, "Qingru is right, let's go now."

Seeing the three of them walking away with shoulders shoulders and backs, Pei Xin, who had been holding back all this time, finally let out a long sigh of relief.She was full of disdain, and her mischievous heart was suddenly aroused, and she imitated the tone of the man in purple clothes just now: "I said not long ago, this little face was blown red by the wind. But I was afraid that I would feel bad, so I said this on purpose. Qing Ru is Caring, makes people feel warm from the bottom of their hearts!" Suddenly his tone changed, and he spat: "It's a small face, it's distressed, it's caring and it's warm, I'm sorry! Aunt Xiao is old, and she's not a little girl. It's a good thing for him to say something that is unconscionable and sweet!"

Peiying looked puzzled: "Miss, is Hua Yang the most famous cheater in Jinling Casino?"

Mu Yunge nodded very positively.

She had heard Hua Yang's name from Wei Shi's mouth, and knew that this man had been in a gambling house since childhood, was familiar with gambling skills, and was a notorious cheater.He has a con artist partner named Wu Yunyi, and the two often work together to defraud wealthy businessmen who come to Jinling to make money from them.

If this person is really Hua Yang, the man in purple must be Wu Yunyi!
Peixin had also heard of Huayang's name before. Her cousin had been wandering in the market for a long time, and she was the one who inquired in the market. She also knew a lot about Huayang, so she immediately asked in puzzlement, "Huayang is notorious, how could Aunt Xiao listen to it?" Their nonsense?"

"People are not greedy, and don't be deceived." Mu Yunge said in a low voice: "Aunt Xiao is too greedy, and it is inevitable to be fooled. Aunt Xiao must have more than 5 taels of silver with her. There are 5 taels, 10 taels. You see, if she goes to the gambling house today, she will definitely lose all her money and go bankrupt!"

Huayang and Wu Yunyi were playing fishing tricks. They first lost some money to Aunt Xiao, and then the amount became larger and larger, which made Aunt Xiao more and more greedy, so she would bet all her money and finally defrauded Aunt Xiao of all her money.

How to get rid of Aunt Xiao's wariness depends entirely on Wu Yunyi's beauty scheme!

Mu Yunge guessed right, Aunt Xiao, accompanied by Hua Yang and Wu Yunyi, came to the old place that she must visit every day - Changle Casino.

As soon as she entered, the clerk immediately greeted her affectionately: "Madam Shen is here again, how much are you going to win today?"

Aunt Xiao beamed when she heard that, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your good words." She took out a silver coin and stuffed it into the clerk's hand: "Take it to buy some wine."

The clerk thanked her and helped her close the curtain along the way, leading her to the innermost private room.

When going out, Huayang gave him a wink, he nodded knowingly, went back to the front hall, and whispered a few words in the ears of the two men: "The fish is hooked, it's a big fish, Huayang Lord let you go."

The two men showed joy, and followed him back to the private room. The waiter introduced: "Mrs. Shen, is it still the same as before, four people playing together? I don't know if Ma'am wants to play Pai Gow, Liubo, Ma Diao, or Ye Zixi today? Madam Ruo I feel tired of these things, and it’s quite interesting to play with big and small, and Azalea.”

Aunt Xiao said: "Let's play horse hanging."

The two men sat down, Hua Yang sat at Aunt Xiao's upper house, Wu Yunyi sat behind Aunt Xiao, and brought her tea and water with concern.

According to the usual practice, for a round of 100 taels of silver, the four players at the gaming table exchanged their money for chips and piled them neatly in front of them.Aunt Xiao exchanged 5 taels of silver chips, the two men each exchanged 2 taels, and Hua Yang also exchanged 2 taels of silver, and the game began.

The man brought up the horse crane, which was all made of ivory and had a fine hand feel. Aunt Xiao touched the familiar cards, thinking of the good luck of the previous day, her hands trembled slightly with excitement.

Hua Yang smiled and said, "Your surnames?"

The two men said with a cold face: "There is no distinction between relatives and friends at the gambling table. So what if you know the name, so what if you don't? It's more important to play cards."

Hua Yang was contradicted, and shrugged indifferently: "That's true."

Seeing this, Aunt Xiao was very determined. She was also afraid that Huayang would know that she had money and join forces with outsiders to deceive her.Knowing that they also didn't know each other, her heart sank into her stomach, and she began to devote herself to playing cards.

She was also lucky today. In less than an hour, a pile of chips were piled up in front of her. After a rough calculation, she won nearly 4 taels of silver.Huayang was unlucky, and almost all the chips in front of him were gone. The other two men lost more than 1 taels of silver each.

After a while, Huayang lost all the chips in his hand and said that he would quit. Aunt Xiao was winning, so she immediately lent him 2 taels of silver, and Huayang returned to the gambling table.

But after playing this game, Aunt Xiao's luck plummeted, and she didn't come for whatever she wanted, and quickly returned all the tens of thousands of taels of silver she had won.

"Don't worry, calm down." Wu Yunyi made her forehead start to sweat, comforted her thoughtfully, and fed the sliced ​​pumpkin to her mouth.

Aunt Xiao looked at the cards in front of her without blinking, took a mouthful of pumpkin, didn't notice that Wu Yunyi's fingers were flexing and stretching, and raised three fingers at Huayang.

In this round, Aunt Xiao played all of them, with three-of-a-kind draws.
