Chapter 697 I am an imperial merchant, who am I afraid of!

713
Beibei personally sent Qiao Qiongyan out of the general's mansion, and watched her get into the sedan chair before returning to the inner courtyard with Jiang Yun'er.

The inner courtyard of the General’s Mansion was used to greet the female relatives among the guests today. As soon as Jiang Yun’er entered the inner courtyard, she was surrounded by several women and had a chat. Beibei didn’t know them well and didn’t want to greet them, so she prepared to Back out, but Jiang Yun'er's voice came over as soon as he stepped forward.

"Beibei, these ladies want to see you." Jiang Yun'er smiled and nodded towards Beibei.

Beibei had no choice but to walk towards them with a smile on her face.

"Hi ladies!" Beibei greeted them with a light smile.

"This is Miss Bai?" One of the older women in her 40s looked at Beibei with golden eyes.

Beibei was a little uncomfortable being stared at by her eyes, but for Jiang Yuner's sake, she still smiled back: "I am Bo Beibei."

Several other wives looked at Beibei also very strangely, and Beibei didn't know if it was his own illusion, two of the wives looked at her with a sense of scrutiny.

"Miss Bai, I heard that you are now an imperial merchant. You are a girl. It must be very hard to become an imperial merchant at a young age, right?" the older woman asked with a flattering smile.

"It's okay." Beibei replied alienatedly, with a faint smile on her face, making it difficult to find reason.

"Ms. Bo is a girl who shows her face outside. It must be hard work." One of the women said in a sour tone.

As soon as the woman's voice fell, another woman with scrutiny eyes also echoed with a smirk: "Let's not talk about the girl's house, even a man can't bear to manage such a big business!"

The woman paused, and the conversation changed at any time, and she asked curiously: "Ms. Bai must be going out to socialize with such a big business, right?"

Bei Bei's eyes flickered slightly, and seeing Jiang Yun'er's eyes showing a trace of anger, she pressed her hand without a trace, and asked the woman with a smile: "I don't know if this lady has any kind of business at home?" ?”

Beibei is not stupid, how can she fail to hear that this woman is digging holes for her in her words?

Others have stepped on her head, even for Jiang Yun'er's sake, she can't let others bully her, and Jiang Yun'er is obviously on her side, so she has no worries.

The woman was startled, not sure why Beibei suddenly asked about her family's business.

Just when the woman was hesitating whether to answer Bei Bei's question, Jiang Yun'er smiled and said, "Bei Bei, Mrs. Xie's husband, Master Xie, has a silk shop and a porcelain shop in the city, and the business is very good." .”

"Yes, yes!" Mrs. Xie smiled dryly, always feeling that it would not be a good thing for Beibei to suddenly ask about this.

But what kind of business her family is in, Jiang Yun'er knows very well, she can't deny it.

"Mrs. Xie, besides the silk shop and porcelain shop in the city, do you have other businesses?" Beibei asked again.

"No, no more."

The disapproval in Beibei's tone and the contempt in her eyes made Mrs. Xie secretly hate, but standing in front of her was an imperial merchant, who was in charge of most of the business in Daqiyao Kingdom. In her eyes, her two shops were indeed It's a drop in the bucket, no wonder she looks down on it.

"What about this lady?" Beibei looked at the agreeing lady again.

"Beibei, this is Mrs. Cao. Master Cao runs a candy shop in the city. All the candies for today's banquet were purchased from Boss Cao's shop." Jiang Yun'er introduced with a smile.

Jiang Yun'er and Mrs. Xie Madam Cao did not have a close relationship on weekdays, but this time Qiao Qiongyan got married, Jiang Yun'er bought a lot of things in their shop, and the two wives personally brought the assistants to deliver the goods to ****, and said After saying a lot of good things, hinting that Jiang Yun'er and the others wanted to come to watch the ceremony, Jiang Yun'er also posted a post for them.

"It's no wonder!" Beibei laughed clearly.

The wives didn't understand the meaning of Beibei's words. Mrs. Xie opened her mouth, but finally suppressed her curiosity because she had a hunch that Beibei was waiting for her.

But if Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Cao didn't ask, it doesn't mean that the other wives didn't ask, let alone Jiang Yun'er.

The older woman also saw Mrs. Xie's dislike for Beibei. In order to please Beibei, she followed Beibei's words and asked: "Miss Bai, why is it?"

Jiang Yun'er also looked at Beibei curiously: "Yes, Beibei, what do you mean?"

Seeing the other wives looking at her with puzzlement and interest, Beibei couldn't help but hooked her lips into a smile, and said bluntly: "I mean, Mr. Xie also runs two shops in this county, while Mr. Cao only runs two shops." It's a candy shop, so it's no wonder that the two of you would ask such a question."

Beibei paused and said: "The most important thing to do as a boss is to control the overall situation, know people and make good use of them, and put the right people in the right place. If you have to do everything yourself, how can the business be big? So I said it's no wonder the two of you asked such things just now, the two ladies would ask such things, presumably Mr. Xie and Mr. Cao are also people who are content with the status quo, or they are burnt out for two days and three meals. ?”

As Beibei spoke, he looked the two ladies up and down, and his eyes seemed to be extremely disdainful of the clothes on the two ladies.

"Miss Bai, you made a mistake. It is three meals a day, not three meals a day." The older lady reminded Bei Bei in a low voice.

Beibei frowned, and raised her chin noncommittally, looking arrogant.

She is an imperial businessman, who is she afraid of!

How about she just be arrogant?
She is usually low-key and unassuming, but two little merchants' wives want to step on her head to act wildly?Don't weigh yourself first!

Seeing this, not only Jiang Yun'er, but even the other wives suddenly understood that Beibei deliberately described "three meals a day" as "three meals a day" in order to humiliate Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Cao, implying that Xie's family He and the Cao family only had three meals in two days.

Mrs. Jian and Mrs. Cao's faces turned green and pale, Jiang Yun'er couldn't help but coughed lightly, and hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Beibei, my natal sister-in-law also said that she wanted to see you just now, and she is in the hall. I’ve seen it too, I can’t leave here, so you can go there by yourself.”

After Jiang Yun'er finished speaking, she gave Beibei a wink.

Beibei smiled, hooked her lips to the wives and said: "The ladies are chatting slowly, Beibei excuse me."

After Beibei finished speaking, she led Yu Qiu to the side hall with her head held high.

As soon as Beibei left, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Cao endured their secret hatred and provoked: "Mrs. Qiao, this Miss Bai looks like a flamboyant person. Miss Qiao is with her. Don't you worry that she will be hurt?" Does it affect?"
