Red makeup against the world

Chapter 878 Greed

Liu Qilan lacked her mother's attention since she was a child, and the only one who could talk to her was a jerk brother.She immersed herself in books to find sustenance, and she really didn't understand the world and the world.

In Pingguo Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Zeng gave her the education and manners she deserved.But due to the absence of her parents, she doesn't understand feelings.It is even more jerky for people's sophistication.

Otherwise, she would not have asked Liu Qiran to compile a roster of unmarried men in the capital for him.

He also wouldn't fall in love with Fan Bin at first sight, and then plunge into it without hesitation.He even obtained Liu Qiran's consent and support, and left home to pursue Fan Bin.

In her world, there is only whether she does it or not, and there is no such thing as whether she can achieve her goal.

Even if she can't achieve it now, she has been working hard, thinking that one day she will be able to achieve it.

Just like Fan Bin, he had rejected her several times, but Liu Qilan thought it was because she was not good enough.She kept trying to change and improve herself, thinking that one day, she would meet Fan Bin's request and let him accept it.

She, however, never thought that in matters of affection, you should love me.Fan Bin didn't accept her not because she was bad, but because someone else lived in his heart.

Therefore, what Xu Wanzhen said was knowledge that she had never learned in books.It is said that there is a way in Shushan, but there are some things that don't need to be pursued to the end?
Liu Qilan was a little confused, but she was not stupid.She pondered this sentence several times in her heart, and felt that it contained the truth of being a person and doing things, which she had never thought of before.

Seeing her expression, Xu Wanzhen softened her heart for no reason.

She also knows a thing or two about the affairs of the Pingguo government.She has a close relationship with Tu Manzhen. Tu Manzhen has a carefree temper, and occasionally talks about her younger siblings in the house.

When the Zeng family gave birth to Liu Qiran and Liu Qilan's brothers and sisters, they had just married into the Pingguo government for two or three years.At that time, when he was young, he was angry, jealous and helpless towards Duke Pingguo's flirtatiousness.

This caused the two siblings to grow wantonly like weeds without their mother's guidance when they were young, and they have grown into their current temperaments.

Liu Qilan is naturally intelligent, if it wasn't for this, how could she be unreasonable?
Xu Wanzhen looked into her eyes and smiled slightly: "The only thing I can tell you is that you don't have to wait too long. As soon as I have news, I will send someone to tell you immediately."

"Really?" Liu Qilan's eyes sparkled brightly, and she said, "Xilan thank you, Second Young Madam."

"In the past few days, if you have nothing to do, you can stay with your mother more. To save yourself from thinking about it, you can also watch more about how she hosts the middle class and communicates with others."

As the head of the house, Mrs. Zeng has four children.The youngest son was weak, so she inevitably paid less attention to Liu Qilan who had grown up.

However, Liu Qilan can take the initiative.Regardless of whether she can marry Fan Bin as she wished, she will always be the director of the family after marriage.

Since she came to look for her, Xu Wanzhen might as well say something more about her.Being kind to others, Xu Wanzhen doesn't think she will lose anything.

Liu Qilan left happily, Qingluo came to report, and the two stewards arrived.

"Let them wait in the Nuan Pavilion." Xu Wanzhen ordered, and she wanted to let them hang out.

The two stewards entered Zhiyuan Residence, taking every step carefully.

The shopkeeper of Nanbei Merchant Co., Ltd. is surnamed Dai and has a short stature.No matter how hard I tried to hide it, my eyes couldn't help but look around.

The manager in charge of the twelve shops is surnamed Tang, and he is an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.His subordinates are in charge of so many shops. In terms of clothing, except for the quality of materials, they don't look rich at all. He is a low-key person.

When Steward Tang heard the summons, he knew something must be going on.Ask shopkeeper Dai to show him the remaining accounts for a closer look, and then he knows that there is a big problem.

It's also his fault that he wasn't careful enough.In the final analysis, the young lady was still bullying that she was young and didn't know how to run a business, so she didn't check the account books of each store one by one, so she handed it over.

Seeing that shopkeeper Dai entered the courtyard and was not being honest, he gave him a hard look and shouted in a low voice: "Dai Dagui!"

Before coming, Shopkeeper Dai was given a severe lesson by him.At this time, being drunk by him, he hurriedly lowered his eyebrows, followed behind the leading maid, and entered the Nuan Pavilion.

But he couldn't help but secretly dumbfounded, is this the style of the Duke's Mansion?If it weren't for the young lady, where would he have the chance to set foot in the Duke's mansion in this life?Naturally, it is enough to look at it a few more times.

How to deal with it, the two had already discussed before coming here, it depends on how Xu Wanzhen will be dealt with in the future.

The two waited in the warm pavilion for half an hour, and shopkeeper Dai couldn't help but switch his left and right legs back and forth.His posture is not as respectful as it was at the beginning.

The maid who led the way didn't know where she went, and she didn't even serve a cup of tea for such a long time.After being smoked by the hot ground dragon, shopkeeper Dai only felt his throat was dry and his whole body felt unwell

Steward Tang also felt uncomfortable, but he was even more thankful that the young lady did not let them wait in the corridor, but entered the warm pavilion.

It's winter, if I stand under the porch for an hour, I will definitely be seriously ill when I go back.

Since there was a mistake in the accounts, Xu Wanzhen left the two of them alone, he was already mentally prepared.

Just when Shopkeeper Dai was getting impatient, he heard a pleasant ringing sound, several maids surrounded Xu Wanzhen, and sat down in the main seat of the Nuan Pavilion.

She is wearing a Lingyun bun, a ruby ​​the size of a fingernail is used as a forehead ornament, and long tassels hang down from the emerald peacock swing, swaying slightly beside the bun, looking very luxurious.

There was a sharp look in Xu Wanzhen's eyes.This kind of momentum made shopkeeper Dai fall to his knees as soon as his knees softened.

He took a sneak peek, and luckily Tang Guanshi also knelt down, so it didn't look like he was alone in embarrassment.

"I have met the young lady." The two took advantage of the opportunity to greet each other.

Xu Wanzhen asked indifferently: "Do you know why I called you here?" He didn't ask them to get up, and the oppressive tone made them dare not look up.

Shopkeeper Dai panicked, and hurriedly said, "I report to Second Young Madam, it's the villain who made a mistake."

When he said this, Tang Guanshi felt great hatred in his heart, which completely disrupted his arrangement.

This Dai Dagui is really incompetent.He is greedy by nature and considers small profits, but he is as timid as a mouse, so he is not scared.But he had already spoken, and Tang Guanshi had no choice but to kneel obediently. The time for him to speak had passed.

"Oh?" Xu Wanzhen said, "What did you do wrong?"

Shopkeeper Dai's brow was sweating, his heart felt guilty, and said: "The villain is deceived by pork, so he dares to covet the money from the ink shop."

Having said that, he remembered the countermeasures he had discussed with Steward Tang before, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile, and added: "It is a clerk in the villain's shop who is seriously ill and needs money. The villain is not rich, so he came from 200 taels of silver were transferred from the account and paid to him in advance."
