The Possession of My Beloved

    In the beginning of this month, the Chamber of Commerce will meet again.

    A group of gentlemen sat together, just waiting for Mrs. Cui from the Jade Burning Porcelain Workshop to come and denounce the obstruction to her.

    Earlier, the gentlemen arrived one after another, and they discussed the words one by one to intimidate Mrs. Cui to let go. But Mrs. Cui, the main child, couldn't wait, and the right couldn't wait.

    He Erye became anxious and ordered his servant to go to the jade burning porcelain shop to ask.

      Waiting for him to go again, the door of Beijie opened a crack, and a black-faced old woman stuck out, pulling her long face and said: "Our lady said that it is inconvenient for you to talk to women, so she will not go and make fun of herself. , the lady is not feeling well today, please don't disturb me!"

    When the young servant turned pale and passed the words back to the chamber of commerce, he heard those old masters first look at each other, then blow their beards and swear, saying that this woman from the Cui family is really inauthentic. How did the relatives of her family discipline the lady? Do you just allow her to be so arrogant and rude, to offend a peer?

    But after scolding, the gentlemen are still at a loss as to how to solve a large amount of clay transportation.

    In the past few days, there were still a few boats that could be deployed, but recently the boat manager didn't know what the wind was blowing, and even the remaining boats were dispatched. Seeing that the porcelain kiln had cut off the raw materials and ceased fire and stopped work, Erye He's throat rose.

    The job of leading the royal offering is enviable, but if something goes wrong, it is also a big sin!

    He Zhen sat on the side and listened silently, knowing clearly that this is because Mrs. Cui was neglected by her father last time, so she decided to take revenge!

    In this case, they had to soften their attitudes and begged Mrs. Cui to be accommodating and let the clay pass the shortcut of Shuangling Village.

    However, asking my father to bow his head is really detrimental to the He family's business. Miss He San naturally wanted to mediate for her father.

    So on the second day, Miss He San prepared a box of ginseng, bird's nest from Nanyang and several large boxes of honey juice and went to visit Cui's house on North Street lady.

      Like sisters, holding her hand and asking for warmth.

    "Mrs. Cui, I haven't seen you for a few days, how did you become so ill?" Miss He San asked with a sad face.

    Miantang half-rolled her hair and lay down in a sullen manner, but she looked a little sick, and he sighed and said, "I have a chronic illness for many years, and if I can't fix it, I have a headache. , I spent a lot of money in the capital, and my husband's family was almost defeated. Fortunately, I met a good doctor and gave me a prescription. It's just that the medicinal materials have to be troubled, and I have to choose a place where the water and plants are rich. , stay away from the hustle and bustle of the horses and horses, and take a good rest to preserve the efficacy of the medicine. It is also my life that should not end, I just bought a good land a few days ago, just waiting for the medicinal materials to continue my life... Third Miss, you are busy It's really annoying to take time to see me in the middle of it!"

    He Zhen only forced a smile when she heard the words, but it was a little ugly. She didn't expect that she just exchanged a word or two, that Liu Niangzi actually blocked the whole conversation!

    Listen to Lady Liu, the land in Shuangling Village is used to grow life-saving herbs. The implication is that if anyone insists on going there, they will kill Lady Liu?

    So when Liu Miantang finished talking about her pain and suffering, and thoughtfully asked He Zhen what else she was doing here, the eloquent girl He San was at a loss for words.

      Now that the canal has been dug, the ships have been requisitioned. The clay workshop in our town can't supply the clay, which is really a headache. But I heard that your shop has transported a lot of clay. If it is convenient, can you distribute it to the Hejia company? Some of them are urgently needed."

      Our Jade Porcelain Workshop has recently received a large order, and we are using clay. If we distribute it to you, our order will not be able to keep up with the construction period. Wouldn’t it ruin the name of my Jade Porcelain Workshop?”

    He Zhen expected that she would resign, and quickly said: "The price is easy to discuss, we just need to pay a high price."

    This lady Liu is clearly looking for a rare commodity to live in, so it is better to follow her heart and solve the urgent needs of the He family first.

    Anyway, as long as the construction of the canal is completed in the coming year, the waterway is restored, and there will be more ships, Lady Liu will have nothing to do with others.

    But there is one thing, their He family has a lot of money and can resist this level, but other shops may not be able to get too much turnover money to buy the high-priced clay of the Cui family.

    Cui's family is a rare commodity, and they can indeed make some money, but they have also completely offended other merchants in Lingquan Town, and let's see how her family will gain a foothold in Lingquan Town in the future!

    So no matter how high the price Liu Miantang wants, she will do everything she can, and she will lose the reputation of the Cui family even if she sacrifices money and money. Go to Quanzhen!

    And Liu Miantang listened to Miss He San's request to buy clay at a high price, and smiled softly: "Look at what Miss San said, my husband has read books, how can our Cui family be like that? A person who waits for profit and forgets righteousness? How can we make money from the village folks in the dark? Besides, our family sells porcelain, but we don’t want to change our business to sell clay!”

    When Miss He San heard this, she couldn't grasp the pulse of Lady Liu.

    She sat for nearly half a day, rubbing her lips, and finally Liu Miantang vomited: "Actually, we need to earn more money from our Cui family shop, those life-saving medicines. But I can buy it from other places... It's just that the list I'm taking now is too small. If I can be like your He family or other shopkeepers, I'll be able to pick up some imperial errands..."

    He Zhen understood what Liu Miantang meant when she heard it. It turned out that she had a wild heart and wanted to eat the fat from the royal family!

    Since the two sides have made their words clear, then everything will be easy to handle. Miss He San said that the matter is a big one and she needs to go back and discuss with her father.

    Liu Niangzi disregarded her physical condition, and personally delivered Miss He San to the door, kindly instructing her to discuss with Second Master He quickly, otherwise if the medicine seedlings in her Shuangling medicine field grow up Some, I was reluctant to pull out the road and open to traffic.

    When He Zhen told her father what he meant, Er Ye He was so angry that he patted the table again, and said that the Cui family had such a big face, and he would accept the royal offering without looking at his own foundation!

    But He Zhen persuaded Second Master He, saying that since Liu Miantang was interested in earning royal silver, let her earn it. Moreover, the coloring skills in the jade-fired porcelain workshop are really good. If it can be used for the He family, wouldn't it make the He family even more powerful?

    He Erye understood what his daughter meant. Anyway, the porcelain ornaments contracted by the He family will eventually be named as the He family business. No matter how capable Liu Miantang was, she was nothing but a pony for the He family. After the busy work is over, it is not too late to think of ways to deal with the jade-fired porcelain workshop.

    He Erye knows that his daughter has a plan and is more thoughtful than him. For the sake of this plan, he can only invite the lady surnamed Liu to join the team and get through the current difficulties.

    So Lingquan Town held a monthly chamber of commerce meeting, this time breaking the convention, and meeting again on the second day after Miss He San visited Mrs. Liu.

    This time Lady Liu came, but she was an hour late.

    Liu Niangzi apologized repeatedly when she entered the door, saying that the woman's house was too busy, and it was time-consuming to dress up and make you wait for a long time.

    The gentlemen of the chamber of commerce greeted them all with smiles, saying that Mrs. Cui valued the colleagues of the chamber of commerce, so she was well dressed, it should be!

    So the colleagues in Lingquan Town negotiated with each other on the distribution of the imperial errand.

    The most lucrative part of the fine porcelain coloring work is attributed to the name of the jade burning porcelain workshop. This piece of fat was originally exclusive to the He family, and Erye He was naturally unwilling to cede it. But the other soup, that Lady Liu disliked it, only the lion opened his mouth and asked for this one.

    When the other shopkeepers saw that Liu Miantang didn't like their soup, they naturally took a long sigh of relief, and even helped Mrs. Liu to persuade Second Master He to let go.

    The second master He was so angry that his face was ashen. If his daughter He Zhen had not been stepping on his feet under the table, he would have had a seizure at that time.

    Finally, when the He family cut the meat, Liu Miantang was naturally relieved. First, he said sadly about his illness, and then sincerely expressed that for the sake of everyone in Lingquan Town, he will be more In order to be loyal to the emperor, she would not hesitate to pull out the life-saving herbs and delay her illness.

      Be careful, I really believe that she is going to be jealous of her beauty, and her life will not be long!

    Speaking straight, the gentlemen nodded again and again, and once again sincerely thanked Mrs. Liu for her broad-mindedness.

    But Erye He scolded in his heart, what nonsense herbs? He sent someone to look at it, and it was obviously cabbage and green onions in one place! What kind of terminal illness can be cured?

    After the negotiation, Niangzi Liu also received the money for the rush to make the imperial offerings in advance. The money for this batch of colored porcelain lists only has 800 taels of silver notes. After that, there is still half of the money to take.

    Liu Niangzi didn't know how much money the emperor offered, but when she took the thick silver bill in her hand, she understood why the shopkeepers were so flattering to the He family. Profits make people jealous!

    Not to mention that the jade-fired porcelain shop made a lot of money, and Cui Xingzhou in the military camp finally relaxed his face with satisfaction after hearing about the recent progress of the water department, and waved to the official who reported go down.

    However, the official still had something to report to the lord, so he cautiously asked: "My lord, you previously ordered all the ships in the county to be recruited. Do you understand corvée?"

    In fact, the water department does not need to be so urgent to recruit fishing boats. As for why he acted like this, Cui Jiu didn't think about it too carefully at the time, but a flash in his mind flashed through the big empty hole under the bed in the Beijie mansion, and he thought of it for the little woman who was going to buy the road money. Just a little convenience.

    For him, this was something he had just said casually, but he didn't take it too seriously afterwards. Now that I heard this official mention it, I suddenly remembered this, but I don't know how the matter with Lady Liu went on.

    However, the recruitment of fishing boats for too long has indeed affected people's livelihood, so the King of Huaiyang waved his hand and said that some of the boats could be relieved from corvé service.

    But in his spare time, when he went to North Street for dinner, he learned from Miantang's mouth that she had successfully blackmailed her.

    But hearing that Liu Miantang took over the affairs of the He family, he frowned slightly.

    To be honest, she bought the store just to calm her mind. Unexpectedly, Yue Yu's efforts would actually make her stand bigger and bigger.

    "You act like this, are you not afraid that the Hejia firm will do something to the porcelain in your shop and use the name to rectify you?"

      How can we not be implicated? Now, we have just established a foothold in North Street and have to operate well, and we have wronged the husband's shop to be subjugated by others, but one day, our shop will The name of the hall is imprinted on the porcelain of the royal royal offering!"

      It’s like earning an industry for yourself.”

    After all, the shop and the house will be given to her. If Lady Liu manages well, she will benefit herself.

    Cui Xingzhou rarely taught people so leisurely, but Miantang heard that her husband was encouraging him to do things boldly.

    Having such trust from her husband, she couldn't help but have bright eyes again, looking at him like autumn water.

    Cui Xingzhou was accustomed to her looking at him like this, and Yoyo took the chopsticks and fish and put it in her bowl: "Let's eat quickly, I don't mean to go back to the shop to check and deliver it later. china?"

    Mian Tang also felt that her talented eyes were too sloppy and not in line with a good wife and virtue, so she smiled playfully, and then hurried to eat.

    She really wanted to go out for a while, but only when she saw her husband came back, did she think about having dinner with him, which delayed her work.

    After Miantang finished eating and rinsed his mouth with bamboo salt, he packed up a little and prepared to go out.

      At the same time, they also went out together.

    The prince's carriage just happened to pass by the jade burning porcelain shop, Cui Jiu hesitated for a while, thinking that since it went well, it would not be very good to ignore her, so she asked Miantang to get on the car together.

    Miantang went out with her husband for the first time. She was sweet in her heart and sat beside Cui Jiu, feeling that the carriage was full of the faint bamboo-like scent of her husband.

    When the carriage pulled out from Beijiekou, the people who took a lunch break hadn't returned yet, and they seemed a little deserted. The carriage slowly moved forward along the stone road towards the porcelain shop.

    But when they turned to a secluded street, several burly men suddenly jumped from the high walls on both sides of the road. Two of them stepped forward and grabbed the coachman's neck.

    The other few stood at the alley to watch the wind, and the division of labor was orderly. At first glance, they were experts in robbing roads.

    One of them tore down the curtain, and without looking at Cui Xingzhou, only held a sharp long sword, pointed it at Liu Miantang's throat, and said sadly: "Liu Miantang Girl, you left when you left, but why did you secretly hide the money that the young master finally raised? Now the accountant has made a mistake, and the young master has explained it, as long as you are willing to pay it back, he will forgive him!"

    These words were thoughtless, Liu Miantang was at a loss, only raised her eyebrows and said, "Who is your son? ?"

    The big man saw that Liu Miantang refused to accept the account, he just sneered twice, he was too lazy to talk nonsense, he just wanted to pull Liu Miantang off the carriage and tie it up.

    As for the man sitting next to Liu Miantang, he didn't even look at it. Yunniang told them beforehand that Miss Liu is now married to a businessman, a man who looks like an embroidered pillow, and a lazy boy. That's about it. A businessman will naturally cherish his life. If he dared to move, he would immediately stab a hole in his body!

    But just when his hand touched Liu Miantang, the man who looked like an embroidered pillow beside her spoke leisurely: "I wonder how much she took from you? I'll come for her That's it."

    Speaking of the long sword in his hand, he wanted to scratch the face of the embroidered pillow.

    But just as the big man stretched his wrist forward, the soft-faced white face stretched out **** and clamped the thin sword body, and then he took advantage of the ingenuity to make such a move, He even pulled the big man into the carriage.

    Liu Miantang touched a pair of bronze bells that Mama Li had set aside for her early in the morning—the bells were sent by the genius doctor Zhao Quan to let her relax When you have nothing to do, raise the grip to restore the muscles and bones of the wrist.

    Now this pair of bells can be considered useful, but she was only lifted high, and while Cui Xingzhou was pulling the big man in, she smashed it on the top of the head twice.

    This is the first time Cui Xingzhou has seen her beat someone with her own eyes.

    After Cui Xingzhou knocked her unconscious with a knife, the dark guards outside also dispatched and took down the big men who were intercepting.

    "Your Highness, everyone has been caught!" The dark guard knelt down and reported to Cui Xingzhou.

    Huaiyang King waved his hand, motioning them to bring people to interrogation.

    Although there were only a few words just now, it was enough for Cui Xingzhou to think about it.

      !

    30 million taels of snowflake silver is indeed not a small number, but that son Tzuyu is calm, and only now comes to ask for it!

    Cui Xingzhou set up his house on North Street for so long, and he finally caught decent fish and shrimp, and it didn't take his patience in vain.

    Because those thieves had special cruel officials to judge, Cui Xingzhou didn't have to do it himself, so he sent the unconscious Miantang back to the house first.

    As the carriage arrived at the door, he saw Zhao Quan, the Marquis of Zhennan, leading the servant to probe his brain at the door.

    When she saw Cui Jiu carrying the unconscious Liu Niangzi from the carriage, Zhao Quan was startled, thinking that Liu Niangzi's old disease had relapsed, and when I heard that it was Cui Jiu who knocked, Immediately burst into flames.

      Immediately, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness is used to beating and scolding soldiers in the military camp. Such a delicate woman, you have to go to hell!"

    Cui Xingzhou originally thought that Miantang would be able to wake up on the road, but he did not expect Miantang to have a disordered breath and seemed to be in a nightmare, so he was also a little worried, and only frowned: "I just make It's just a trick, let her fall asleep, the hand strength is not heavy, do you see what happened to her?"

    After finishing speaking, Cui Jiu took Liu Miantang into the house with big strides, and rolled up her sleeves to reveal a jade wrist for Zhao Quan to check her pulse.

    But when Zhao Quan's fingers were about to touch, Cui Xingzhou's brows wrinkled, and he felt that even a woman who was disrespectful should not be touched at will.

    Thinking about it, she took out a sweat towel from her arms and put it on her white wrist.

    Zhao Quan felt that it was unnecessary for him to take off his pants and fart, so he couldn't help but glared at him, wanting to remove the sweat towel and cut it more carefully, but when he met Cui Xingzhou's slightly narrowed eyes, he didn't dare to make trouble , to diagnose her pulse only through the sweat towel.

    After diagnosing the pulse, Zhao Quan wrote another recipe and gave it to Mama Li to let her torture Lady Liu. Then he solemnly explained to Cui Xingzhou that a woman's body was already fragile, and she could never use it again.

    As usual, King Huaiyang would only smile coldly. How could someone like him who do things unscrupulously pity a woman who is disobedient and rebels?

    But this time, King Huaiyang didn't sneer, but listened silently, and then nodded slowly.

    When Zhao Quan came out of North Street, he was still in a trance, always feeling that something was wrong with his long-term friend. But where exactly, he couldn't say for a while.

    Miantang fell into a dream like mud. In the dream, someone showed her an account, and then asked: "Miss Liu, what do you think?"

    The author has something to say:  Miantang, get me a ledger, whoever owes me must remember
