Rebirth of the Concubine Fenghua

Chapter 81 Don't bully the Xue family
Xue Fangbei and Mrs. Xue put down their tea bowls and stood up at the same time, bowing to him, "See Mr. Feng for the grassroots." Although they are Feng Yuanliang's brother and sister-in-law in terms of status, they are people in terms of position, and Feng Yuanliang is Officer, I still have to see you this ceremony.

Feng Yuanliang helped them up, and said disapprovingly, "It's grown-up or not, this is at home, there is no need to be formal, come, sit down quickly."

The two sat down as promised, Xue Shi and Feng Ruotong walked in afterward, and after seeing each other, they sat down together.The Xue family's parents died young, and it can be said that Xue's elder brother and sister-in-law watched her grow up and accompanied her to get married. The so-called "elder brother is like a father, and elder sister-in-law is like a mother", Xue respects her elder brother and sister-in-law just like her parents.

Mrs. Xue took a look at Feng Ruotong, and smiled kindly, "I haven't seen you in the past few years, Ruotong has grown into a big girl, and her personality is becoming more and more beautiful, Yaxuan, you are so lucky."

Feng Ruotong smiled, a little shy, presumably her mother had already told the Xue family that she was neither stupid nor stuttering, so Madam Xue was not surprised to see her now.

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Xue held Feng Ruotong's hand, with a satisfied expression on her face, "It's also fortunate that I chose Ruotong at the beginning, otherwise I would have missed this good daughter." , Speak for her, she has already made the old lady and Aunt Su so angry that she can't help it. Don't you value this new daughter more and more?

"It's my mother who praised me too much, I'm not so good." Feng Ruotong put her face on Xue's shoulder affectionately, "It's my mother who treats me too well, I don't even know how to repay it."

Feng Yuanliang laughed, "Ruotong, don't you think it's too outlandish for you to say that? Since Yaxuan recognizes you, she is your mother. A mother treats her daughter well, so what is she going to do in return? Don't make people laugh."

"That's right, Ruotong, don't be polite to Yaxuan, she treats you well, but she never expects you to reciprocate." Mrs. Xue also looked at Feng Ruotong more, and felt that she liked her from the bottom of her heart, and this time Come, I was also prepared, took out a small box from my arms, opened it, and handed it over, "Ruotong, I specially picked this for you, let's see if you like it."

Feng Ruotong looked down, and it turned out to be a top-quality red jade bracelet, which was priceless at first glance, she said in panic, "Ruotong dare not! It's too expensive, I can't bear it!"

"What's the matter, it's just a bracelet," Mrs. Xue was quite disapproving, "Ruotong, if you don't like it, I'll give you another one?"

"No, no!" Feng Ruotong blushed anxiously, shaking her hands again and again, "It's not that I don't like it, it's too precious, I—"

"Ruotong, it was given by my sister-in-law, so you can take it," Xue smiled, and made the decision for her daughter, "My sister-in-law has already offered her hand, you can't let her take it back, how about it?" face."

Xue Fangbei also said, "Exactly, Ruotong, for this gift for you, my aunt has carefully selected it for a long time and changed it several times before choosing it. If you don't want it, you will let her down."

Mrs. Xue gave him a reproachful look, "Look at what you said, how can you be so serious? You are used to discussing business with people, right? Don't talk too much, I'll just give it to Ruotong."

Xue Fangbei blushed, he had always doted on his wife, so of course he let her say, "Okay, okay, tell me."

Feng Yuanliang laughed and said, "Ruotong, don't be too polite, just take it."

Now that both parents said so, Feng Ruotong no longer refused, and accepted it generously, "Yes, thank you uncle and aunt, Ruotong accepted it."

"Put it on," Mrs. Xue put it on her wrist, looked left and right, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's really good, Ruotong has fair skin, this fits just right."

Feng Ruotong took it back and looked at it, and she also liked it from the bottom of her heart, fumbling and playing with it, as if she couldn't put it down. "It's so beautiful, thank you auntie, I like it very much."

The happiest thing for this person is to give someone something. The other person likes it very much, and he also feels comfortable.Mrs. Xue felt that Feng Ruotong was a sensible person, and liked her more and more.

A few people were chatting happily, the old lady and Aunt Su came in from the outside, seeing this warm scene, both of them showed jealousy in their eyes: Feng Ruotong, a little vixen, how can he be so good at coaxing people, even Xue The people at home are so kind to her, it's so generous to buy such a precious bracelet.

"Mother is here," Feng Yuanliang slowly put away the smile as soon as he saw the old lady coming in, but he still stood up, "Please come and sit down."

Xue Fangbei and his wife also stood up to salute, "The old lady is well."

The old lady put on airs in front of Xue's family, and the corners of her mouth were bent downward forcefully, with a majestic look, "You don't need to be too polite, just sit down and talk."

Everyone sat down, but Aunt Su was a concubine, and without her seat in front of these people, she felt a little embarrassed, secretly thinking that she must let her aunt put pressure on the master and promote her to be a second wife.

The old lady sized up Xue Fangbei and his wife, and asked, "The in-laws came here suddenly this time, is there something important?" After saying that, she looked at Xue Shi as a warning, which means that she is now a member of Fengfu. In front of your natal family, don't talk nonsense.

Xue Fangbei knew the old lady's character, so he smiled lightly, but his eyes became sharper, "Old lady, it's not a secret that the business of the cloth shop was destroyed, right?"

The old lady was startled: for the business of cloth village? "It's not a secret, but it's not Yumei's fault. Cloth Village's business is just not easy to do. What does the in-laws mean to come to Xingshi to question her?"

Xue's eyes are cold, the old lady is always the villain who complains first, she is obviously at fault, but she messes around, doesn't make sense at all, enough to piss people off.

Xue Fangbei said indifferently, "Old lady, you are serious. It's not really a question of asking the teacher for a crime, but the business of Buzhuang was very good, and it has been ruined like this in two or three years. It's not justified."

"What my in-laws said, is it a little bit past?" The old lady did not show any regrets, her attitude was very tough, "This cloth village is Yaxuan's dowry, it is equivalent to giving it to Feng's family. Whether the business is good or bad, it depends on The Xue family is gone, don't you think it's troublesome if the in-laws come to ask again?"

Mrs. Xue smiled, and then said, "Old Madam, you forgot, when our Xue family used several shops as Yaxuan's dowry, there was a word first, although the shop was given to her, she must take good care of it, if Something went wrong, or she proposed on her own initiative, these shops will be returned to the Xue family, right?"

Although the Xue family has business all over the Tianlong Kingdom and has countless shops, they never said that they would give up any of them.Moreover, their thinking has always been very traditional, that is, the family property is passed on to the sons and not to the daughters, and giving the shop to Xue does not mean that the shop is also given to her, so there is such a restriction, which is to prevent the shop from being taken by people with other surnames. go.

The old lady's face froze, that's right, there was indeed such an explanation on Xue's dowry gift list and the dowry shop, in black and white, no one could deny it. "This...Although there is such a saying, but if there is a profit in this business, there will be a loss. It's not anyone's fault, right? Isn't it, Yaxuan?"

Mrs. Xue ignored her hints at all, and said calmly, "Buzhuang's business has become like this, I cannot absolve myself of the blame, it is indeed my fault, and I have nothing to say about returning Buzhuang to Xue's family."

Feng Ruotong lowered her head slightly, with a cruel smile in her eyes: This time, let's see what the old lady can do.

Feng Yuanliang looked ashamed, "Brother and sister-in-law, I am also very sorry that the cloth village has become like this, but this..."

"Lord Feng, you don't need to be like this. We also know that it's not your fault." Xue Fangbei glanced at Aunt Su who was standing aside intentionally or unintentionally, with cold eyes, "But this is the end of the matter. Our Xue family wants to take back the cloth village. You Will you object?"

"Of course not," Feng Yuanliang looked eager, "The business of the cloth shop is ruined, and I don't know how to explain it to my elder brother and sister-in-law. I have no place to put my face on handing over such a material stall."

"That's the best, Lord Feng, you don't have to be polite." Xue Fangbei's face softened a little, "We will send someone to take over the cloth village, so it's settled."

Although the old lady was angry, she didn't care that the cloth house had been destroyed. What she cared about were Xue's other shops, "Since the in-laws have already decided, I have nothing to say, but the other shops are for business. Very good, the in-laws don't want to take it back, do they?" If that were the case, she would never agree, and the Xue family didn't dare to force it.

Xue Fangbei nodded and said, "Of course not. Since the business of other shops is very good, our Xue family has no reason to take them back. However," before the old lady could relax, he changed the subject and put forward conditions, "We They will send people to various shops to see some business."

"What?" The old lady was taken aback for a moment, and then she understood, and she couldn't help feeling angry, "Dear family, what do you mean by this?" People who arranged all the shops for Xue's family, in other words, it was impossible for Yumei to go again. There is no profit in running any shop, what is this!
Mrs. Xue said with a smile, "Why is the old lady so angry? We also have good intentions. I think Yaxuan has limited energy and cannot take care of so many shops at the same time. If she is the only one working hard, the other shops will sooner or later One day, it will be destroyed like the cloth house, so our Xue family plans ahead and sends experienced, mature and steady people to help look after the shop, isn’t it great?”

"What's so good about it!" The old lady was rather annoyed, her complexion changed early, "Dear family, isn't it too much for you to do this? These shops are Yaxuan's dowry, and they are the property of Fengfu. Li, you sent someone over, don't you think it's too much?"

Mrs. Xue's face turned cold, "Old Madam, didn't we just say that these shops are just Yaxuan's dowry, but they are still owned by Xue's family? And we sent people here to help Yaxuan take care of the business. If it’s done well, Feng Mansion will benefit, so what’s wrong with that?”

"This—" The old lady had no reason to retort, her face was flushed, and she suddenly noticed the smug smile on Feng Ruotong's face and Xue Shi's unsurprising appearance, and she was startled: Could it be that they had planned a long time ago? OK?
