Chapter 177 Keep calm
"Xiaohong?"

Zhang Qingwan was frightened by Lu Manman's voice. As Lu Manman looked, a red-backed blood spider the size of a fingertip was climbing on the ground.

"Don't be afraid, Mrs. Gao, this is my pet named Xiaohong!"

Zhang Qingwan casually bent down and stretched out her hand. As soon as the spider saw Zhang Qingwan's hand, it immediately climbed up.

Looking at Zhang Qingwan's doting eyes again, she gently stroked the spider in her hand.

Lu Manman took a few steps forward with lingering fear, and took a few more serious looks at the spider. After confirming that it was not lethal, he dared to joke.

"It's true that Mrs. Wu'anhou likes to be different from others!"

The hobby of raising spiders is probably unique in the capital!

"Xiao Hong was so naughty today, she actually came out to scare people! I'll punish you by locking you in a dark room!"

Zhang Qingwan had gentle eyes and a soft voice. She grabbed the spider's body intimately and shut the spider into the wooden box on the dressing table.

Lu Manman looked at Zhang Qingwan's movements and was glad that she was using all the jewelry she brought. The so-called black room was nothing more than a wooden box for distributing jewelry.

But, for some reason, when Zhang Qingwan said the words "little dark room", Lu Manman clearly noticed that the spider was trembling!

Inexplicably scared!
As if it really understood Zhang Qingwan's words, it was trembling with fear!

Until he was locked in the wooden box, his little eyes were filled with fear!

This?
Is it her imagination?

Has this spider become a spirit after being raised for a long time?
It’s so anthropomorphic!
"Mr. Gao, are you scared? I don't think you are so courageous!"

Zhang Qingwan looked at Lu Manman standing behind him without moving, and shouted mockingly.

"In our Kingdom of Jin, it is normal to raise spiders. Some people even like to raise venomous snakes! That's scary!"

Zhang Qingwan mentioned it casually, but a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, which made Lu Manman feel a little distressed.

Zhang Qingwan is a little princess of the Kingdom of Jin. Now she is in a foreign country and married to someone else. She must be homesick in her heart.

"Madam, I'm not afraid, it's just a little sudden!"

Lu Manman pretended to be relaxed and regained her expression, pursed her lips slightly, and continued to help Zhang Qingwan put hairpins in her hair and wear jewelry.

As time went by, Lu Manman had helped Zhang Qingwan to put on her makeup, including thin eyebrows, bright eyes, a tall and delicate nose, and small, red, thin lips.

Looking from a distance, she turned out to be a beautiful woman, as beautiful as a poem or a painting, like a shadow or a dream!
"Madam! Alright!"

Lu Manman picked up a portable mirror and placed it on the left side for Zhang Qingwan to appreciate her face.

Seeing Zhang Qingwan's increasingly satisfied little face, Lu Manman was ecstatic, now it was time for her to make a fortune again!

"Okay! Very good! Mr. Gao, you really live up to your reputation!"

Zhang Qingwan looked at her in the mirror and couldn't believe that the beauty in the mirror was herself!

"Reward! Reward a hundred taels of gold!"

Zhang Qingwan stood up slowly and stood back and forth in front of the mirror, looking more and more happily.

The sentence "a hundred taels of gold" made Lu Manman's jaw drop!
This……

As expected, it is Mrs. Wu Anhou, who is still as majestic as ever! ! !

"Thank you, madam! Madam is naturally beautiful and has a unique temperament that no one in the capital has. I just helped her magnify her advantages!"

Lu Manman quickly thanked her, and did not forget to say a few words of praise, which made Zhang Qingwan feel a little embarrassed.

"If there wasn't a banquet tonight, I would have asked you to stay and have dinner together!" Zhang Qingwan opened her mouth from ear to ear with joy, and Lu Manman said goodbye and left knowingly.

After all, this is the Wu'an Hou Mansion. She is a foreigner now, so it is natural for her to go back when her work is over!
"Madam, you're welcome. This is what I should do. It's getting late, so I'll go back! I also wish Madam to be so bright and charming not only tonight, but also day and night!"

However, as soon as Lu Manman left Zhang Qingwan's room, he saw a person standing across from him in the courtyard.

The maid who was about to send Lu Manman away was stunned for a moment, and then retreated.

"I've met Marquis Wu'an!"

Lu Manman glanced at him in confusion, then quickly returned to normal and greeted politely.

"Mr. Gao! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Wu Weijie glanced at Lu Manman lightly, waved his hand, and turned around to walk out of the hospital.

Lu Manman hurriedly followed, not knowing what this Marquis Wu An wanted to do.

Lu Manman followed Wu Weijie to the lobby, where tea had already been prepared. Lu Manman was stunned and looked at Wu Weijie in confusion.

"Please sit down!"

This time, Marquis Wu An was no longer as domineering as before, which made Lu Manman feel uncomfortable, but he still sat down obediently.

"I heard that you want to expand your development? To the vassal countries and Beizhao? Do you know that we in the Southern Barbarians are not allowed to trade with foreign countries?"

Marquis Wu'an got straight to the point and blamed him as soon as he opened his mouth.

Lu Manman sighed secretly, what was supposed to come finally came, after waiting for Marquis Wu An for so long.

he!
Still looking for reasons to attack myself!
"Master Marquis, you are in charge of commercial transportation. Isn't this also a way of doing business with foreign countries? As far as I know, all our goods are purchased from foreign countries!"

oppressive rule!
Lu Manman has seen too many people like this!
Don’t be afraid to shoot yourself in the foot! ! !

"They have rice and grain that we don't have, and I have design skills that they don't have. So we can only allow them to sell our things at high prices, but not allow us to sell clothes to them at high prices?"

Buying goods from others, designing and producing them and then selling them to them, isn't this also a way to make money?

"The Marquis is the president of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. If our subordinates make money, wouldn't you also make money too, Marquis?"

The Chamber of Commerce pays taxes every month. The stores with better business have higher taxes. Even the raw materials purchased are more expensive than those from outside!

Lu Manman didn’t believe that Marquis Wu An had no dirty money there!

If Lu Manman hadn't had a transportation channel between Beizhao and Nanman, she wouldn't have made such shady money for Marquis Wuan!
"Master Hou will make a lot of money every day just by sitting there, isn't it good?"

Wu Weijie is the one with the highest business interests. Lu Manman doesn't believe that under such circumstances, Wu Anhou would come forward to embarrass her!

"Okay! Of course!"

Wu Anhou smiled meaningfully, and looked at Lu Manman with eyes that seemed more and more satisfied.

"It's no wonder that you are the richest man in Beizhao, Gao! You have thoroughly understood the ways of doing business, and I really can't find any reason to stop you!"

"But, you are from Beizhao, you are from Beizhao, why don't you come to our place? Just to do business?"

Wu Weijie stared at Lu Manman with deep eyes, which made Lu Manman panic.

he?
Actually knew his identity?

Lu Manman thought about all the difficulties he had experienced in the past, and he was afraid that Marquis Wuan would already know about them when officialdom was restored...

Lu Manman calmed down, looked back at each other calmly, the corners of his mouth gradually raised, and gave the answer.

"Yes! Just for business!"
