Chapter 83

Liu Jiaying has always been at odds with Qin Zhen, and her grandfather dotes on Qin Zhen very much, even more than her granddaughter who is a direct relative.

There is another more important reason why Liu Jiaying doesn't like Qin Zhen. Qin Zhengui is the daughter of Grand Master Qin. Nothing compares.

But Liu Jiaying was born in a businessman, and even those noble girls with eyes on the top of their heads in Yangzhou's noble girls circle looked down on her. She spent a lot of money to win over those noble girls, and thus squeezed into yesterday's magistrate. A poem reciting banquet hosted by Miss.

Comparing the two, she and Qin Zhen are even more different.

He Shi whispered: "Mother can't get the jewelry and banknotes she asked for now. Those clan elders will definitely not help us. If our family doesn't want to give out the silver, we can only do as I say."

Liu Jiaying curled her lips and said, "I don't have any money, mother should not rely on me."

Liu Zecheng was overjoyed when he saw He's initiative to invite him, and persuaded him from the side: "Zhen'er, you just follow your aunt's wishes, and the whole family lives together, so you can have someone to take care of you."

Su Mei looked at He Shi's eyes that were about to roll to the sky, she was not annoyed, she just smiled and said: "Thank you, aunt, but I have already bought a house to live in, so I don't want to disturb my aunt here, I am not that ignorant person Knowing my aunt's difficulties, I also thought of a compromise for my aunt, I don't have to take all the jewelry and silver, so why don't I let my aunt make the decision and choose two shops to pay for the jewelry and silver."

Su Mei understood the situation of the Liu family, and knew more about He's character. He knew that those jewelry and silver would not be available to He's at all. Trading two shops would save a lot of money to buy a shop.

He Shi thought for a while, Qin Zhen came from a noble family, had never done business at all, maybe he couldn't even understand the account books, there are many shops in the family, and there are several shops that have been losing money, why not give her two that are losing money? The shop sent her away.

Liu Zecheng really loved Su Mei, so he suggested to He Shi, "Why don't you hand over the jade shop and silk shop in Dongshi to Zhen'er."

These two shops are two shops that are making profits, Su Mei knew that her uncle was sincerely for her, she looked at her uncle gratefully, blessed Liu Zecheng, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle!"

Liu Zecheng was almost ashamed. He blushed and said with embarrassment, "It's all about uncle's incompetence. Uncle is not good at management. Most of the shops in the family are losing money, but these two shops are still making profits, and the business of jade and silk is not good. Relatively speaking, it's easier. When uncle's business improves, he will definitely return the jewelry and silver to Zhen'er..."

When He heard this, he bumped his head into Liu Zecheng's arms, and cursed: "You murderer, did you give her these two shops and let our family drink the northwest wind?"

Liu Jiaying also cried and her eyes turned red.

Seeing this, Su Mei hurriedly stood up to rescue Liu Zecheng, "Zhen'er appreciates my uncle's wishes. But what Zhen'er wants is the two jewelry shops and the tailor shop at the entrance of Anning Street."

He Shi was startled for a moment, but then he was overjoyed. Those two shops were the two with the worst losses among all the Liu family's shops. Those two shops couldn't sell a single piece of jewelry or a single piece of clothing for a month. Because they cannot be sold, the goods in those two shops are still the same as a few years ago, and they have to transfer money from other shops every month to pay the wages.

He Shi agreed without even thinking about it, "You said this, don't go back on your word." He Shi thought that this Qin Zhen was an idiot, and she was right, she had no business experience, so she would choose the two The shop is also normal.

Su Mei nodded and said with a smile: "Then please ask Auntie to write a written statement and transfer these two shops to me. I don't want any jewelry or clothes in the shop."

She had already visited those two shops before she came to Liu's Mansion, what she liked was the location of those two shops, as for the goods inside, she knew that they could not be sold at all.

She came from the capital city and knows what styles are popular now. She is also good at painting and can draw patterns. She believes that these two shops are in her hands, and she has her own way to make these two shops profitable.

It's just that He Shi is only interested in profit, and I'm afraid that he will regret it when he sees the business of the shop is good in the future.

Su Mei then signed a contract with He Shi, and she and her uncle signed the name, and she thanked her aunt, "Thank you aunt, Zhen'er has to leave beforehand."

Liu Zecheng felt that Su Mei had suffered all kinds of grievances and felt guilty, so he said to Su Mei, "Zhen'er, stay and have dinner together."

Su Mei approached her uncle, and told her uncle the location of her small house in his ear, and said to Liu Zecheng, "Thank you uncle, but Zhen'er still needs to go back to prepare for the reopening of the shop, so Zhen'er will leave first." gone."

Liu Zecheng could only nod his head. After Su Mei left, she pulled Liu Zecheng aside and asked, "What did that girl tell you just now?"

Liu Zecheng frowned and glanced at He Shi, ignored him, and just said, "I'm going out to patrol the shop."

He Shi said to Liu Jiaying who was on the side: "Look at your father, how dare you flirt with me."

Liu Jiaying took He Shi's arm, leaned on her shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile: "Mother, give me some more money, Young Master Lin will come back with Second Brother in a few days, I want to find someone to make two clothes, wait Dress up well and go to see Mr. Lin."

"Which Mr. Lin?"

Liu Jiaying blushed, lowered her head and said timidly: "It is Lin Liangchen, the son of the Lin family who is the head of the four major families."

Among the four major families in Yangzhou, Lin, Xue, Wang and Sun, Lin Liangchen, the son of Lin's patriarch, was not only born with outstanding talent and appearance, but also took over the family business at a young age, and was also a Jinshi in the top ranking of Chunwei this year.

It can be described as a bright future.

He Shi squinted his eyes and nodded his head like pounding garlic.

……

In the capital city, Jiang Mansion, Mrs. Jiang stayed in the house all day long. After all, she was old and felt unable to support herself at night, so she went back to her room to sleep, and asked the two old mothers beside her to continue to watch for her. with.

Mu Feng then slipped out on the pretext of going to the latrine, and asked two maids in the mansion to bring in two bowls of tea for the two old mothers. After that, he fell asleep.

Jiang Ling was seriously injured and couldn't ride a horse, so Mu Feng helped Jiang Ling out of the house in a carriage. As soon as Jiang Ling got into the carriage, she asked, "Where are those two corpses now?"

Mu Feng clasped his hands and said, "My subordinates have already sent people to transport the two corpses back, and they are currently in Changwu Courtyard."

"Go and see."

He frowned tightly, and hurriedly pushed the door in. The two charred corpses were covered by white cloth, and the scorched and unpleasant stench could be smelled at the door.

Jiang Ling lifted the white cloth covering the corpses. The appearance of the two corpses was completely disfigured, and even the facial features could not be seen clearly. Part of the dresses on their bodies were burned, but the delicate sleeves could be seen on the incomplete cuffs. Pear blossom pattern.

Jiang Ling was suffocated, and her heart was beating uncontrollably. This dress was embroidered by the most famous embroiderer in the capital on the day before the wedding. Embroidered with silver thread, a dress is worth hundreds of taels of silver.

Su Mei has a graceful figure and a slender figure, her skin is whiter than snow, and the red color can set off her peerless face even more.

This garnet red dress with pinched waist was chosen for Su Mei himself.

The pinched waist design of the dress can better show her exquisite figure.

The more Jiang Ling looked, the colder her face became. The pear blossom jade pendant around her waist, the purse embroidered with pear blossoms, and even the simple pear blossom hairpin on her head were all Su Mei's personal belongings.

Could it be that the female corpse in front of her was really Su Mei? Could it be that she had really been buried in the fire?
