Chapter 295 Qin Mansion
If the Li family is the head of civil servants, then the Qin family is the head of the business world.Although merchants among scholars, peasants, businessmen and commerce are the most humble, people die for money and birds die for food. When poverty comes to their door, most people would rather give up their official status of not being able to eat or drink, and instead choose to be a lowly businessman .

Of course, humbleness is only for ordinary businessmen.The Qin family is the most powerful merchant in the world, and there are shops of the Qin family in various places.Whether it's food, clothing, or play, as long as you need it, you can find it in the Qin family's shop.It can be said that the Qin family affects more than half of the country's economy.No one dares to underestimate such a family.

In addition, the old lady of the Qin family was kind to Shangguan Huan.Shangguan Huan was not favored back then, and Shangguanxi's father was killed by the former emperor. Shangguanhuan wanted to escape with the infant Shangguanxi.However, the security is so strict that there is no way to leave the capital for half a step.In order to eradicate the grass and roots, the former emperor killed all the people related to the deposed prince.

It was the fifteenth day, and Mrs. Qin was going out to offer incense.Everyone in the capital knew that Mrs. Qin believed in Buddhism and was a loyal Buddhist.Since she was young, she has maintained the habit of going to the temple to offer incense sticks on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.Under such circumstances, Mrs. Qin accidentally found Shangguan Huan in the crowd, and sent her confidantes to quietly call for Shangguan Huan, and offered to help him get away with it.Shangguan Huan wanted to keep the only blood of his eldest brother, and he was grateful for her help.

After Shangguan Huan returned to the capital, he never forgot Mrs. Qin's kindness for a moment.When he came back this time, he became the regent, and the first thing he did was to send a plaque to Mrs. Qin, praising the Qin family for their loyalty and patriotism, as a family of courtesy and righteousness.

Since the plaque was sent to the Qin family, the business of the Qin family has grown even bigger.Everyone is not a fool, it can be seen that the Qin family is attached to Shangguan Huan.Shangguan Huan is a demon, and the Qin family has friendship with Shangguan Huan, so those businessmen who do business with the Qin family will be more secure.After all, this can be regarded as indirectly climbing the big tree of Shangguan Huan.

"Princess Regent is here!" Hui Ling handed the gift list to the head of the Qin family at the door.The head of the Qin family is a man, so it's not good to talk too much to Meng Yuxuan, so he just introduced her into the lobby with a few polite words.A boy's voice came from the door.As the boy's voice fell, the men, women and children who had been standing and laughing knelt down collectively.

Meng Yuxuan stretched out her hand lightly and said, "Get up, everyone!"

"Thank you, Princess." Everyone said in unison again.

Meng Yuxuan really didn't like such a scene.However, everyone knew that Mrs. Qin had helped Shangguan Huan, and today was her birthday, so it would be inappropriate for her not to show up.She didn't want anyone to say that Shangguan Huan was an ungrateful person.Although he himself doesn't care about such a reputation, as a wife, she doesn't want him to bear that kind of stigma.

In fact, every time she participated in such a banquet, she felt like she couldn't breathe.Those pitiful and admiring eyes made her have to be careful no matter what she did.If she could, she didn't want to face those people who looked at her with fear and fear.

Hui Ling helped Meng Yuxuan into the lobby.There is no banquet yet, so she can only go to the backyard to stay with those female relatives.

The Qin family is just a merchant's house.However, there are many small traders who rely on this family to survive.Of course, not only the merchants came here today, but also the wives of high officials.

When Meng Yuxuan saw those people coming to welcome them, her heart was like a mirror as to what they wanted to do.These people may have a reason for wanting to win over the Qin family because of their wealth, but the bigger reason is her.Who is Shangguan Huan?The ministers in the court wanted to curry favor with him, but there was no way to get in.So the women set their eyes on her.

She stepped here today because she wanted to do her best to Mrs. Qin, but she was in no mood to care about others.

"Meet the princess." A middle-aged woman looked at Meng Yuxuan flatteringly. "I have long heard that the princess is the number one beauty in our capital. Before, the concubine was not honored to see the beauty of the concubine. Today, the concubine thought she saw a fairy."

"Yes, yes! Everyone in the capital said that the princess is beautiful. We are just the wives of a small official, and we have no chance to see the princess. Today, we are really honored by Mrs. Qin!" A slightly younger woman beside her said happily.

A servant girl came from the opposite side, and she said to the two women: "Madam, our old lady wants to invite the princess to the backyard to have a talk. I have to excuse myself."

"The princess is here for the old lady, of course she should accompany the old lady. We can see the beauty of the princess, and we have no regrets in this life." The middle-aged woman said flatteringly.

Meng Yuxuan turned a deaf ear to the attitude of those two women.She followed the maidservant to the backyard.Along the way, many women wanted to go forward when they saw Meng Yuxuan, but they were blocked by the maid.After hearing Mrs. Qin's words that she wanted to see the concubine, they didn't dare to be ignorant anymore, so they had to retreat disgruntled.

Those pairs of eyes watched Meng Yuxuan leave, as if she had lost a piece of fat, and all of them looked ugly.

"At first, I thought I could meet the princess regent. I didn't expect that I wouldn't even say a word. The Qin family doesn't want to occupy the princess, right?" A woman complained quietly when she saw them walking away.

"No way! What's the benefit of the Qin family occupying the princess?" a person questioned.

"Who knows? It may be because we are worried that we will rob them of their status. Now who doesn't know that the Qin family is the most valued by the regent? Some people also said that the regent gave the Qin family a special case. Other businessmen cannot obtain fame. The Qin family You are not bound by this rule. What do you say that this is not a particularly high regard for them?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't the other merchants be in trouble? They are also merchants, who is more noble than the other? Why can merchants from the Qin family get fame, but they can't? If I were a merchant, I would never accept such a special case. "

"Okay. Besides the one on the throne, the most honorable ones now are Prime Minister Li and the regent. How dare you offend them?"

"We dare not offend. However, even if they cover the sky with one hand, they can't stop Yoyo's mouth, right?"

Those officials and wives who did not please Meng Yuxuan in the backyard said sour words, all of which were heard by the secret agents of the Qin family.Those words spread to the ears of Mrs. Qin and Meng Yuxuan in the backyard.Meng Yuxuan frowned after hearing those contents, and said angrily: "These people are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic."

"That's not true." Although Mrs. Qin is 70 years old, she is well maintained.Her eyes are loving, like a Bodhisattva on a Buddha statue.Perhaps this has something to do with her year-round worship to Buddha!People who often deal with gods and Buddhas are naturally different from ordinary people.Coupled with the fact that she is a kind-hearted person, she is naturally even more different from those ordinary people. "Princess, don't be angry. Born in this dunya, they will inevitably be affected by the dunya. They pay too much attention to their own gains and losses, but never think that they have already got what the Bodhisattva is willing to give them. If they are too forceful, not only will they not get what they want. If you want, you may even lose what you hold in your hand."

"What the old lady said is true. It's a pity that not everyone has the wisdom of the old lady." Meng Yuxuan said, and handed over a string of Buddhist beads. "I got this from an old monk a few years ago. The old monk lived all over the world, and he neither forbids meat nor alcohol, but he is a master of Taoism. This is the prayer bead he consecrated. Today, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha Giving it to the old lady is also a thank you for your kindness in saving my husband back then."

"Princess, you don't need to be so polite. This is the instruction given to me by the Bodhisattva. At that time, even if there is no old woman, there will be other people to save him." This old lady Qin did not ask for favor at all.She hastily declined, and kept saying that the gift was too expensive and that she didn't deserve such a gift.

Meng Yuxuan really wanted to thank the old lady.Of course, what happened back then was a favor owed by Shangguan Huan. These days, Shangguan Huan's various care for the Qin family made many people jealous.Shangguan Huan has already repaid the debt of favor, and she came here today not only because of Shangguan Huan, but also because she wanted to make friends with the Qin family. ,

The Qin family is the number one merchant.There are only advantages and no disadvantages in building a good relationship with such a family business.She is also a businessman, so such a transaction will still be considered.

"Old lady, just accept it. You are a Buddhist believer, so you should believe in the theory of fate. As you said, you saved my husband at the beginning because the Bodhisattva entrusted the dream. Then I also say, I will take this Giving you a string of Buddha beads is also an explanation from the Bodhisattva. You are more suitable for it than me." Meng Yuxuan said with a smile: "Unless you think this gift is too light."

"The concubine really spoiled the old lady." Mrs. Qin dared not refuse after hearing what Meng Yuxuan said.In fact, she fell in love with the string of prayer beads as soon as she saw it.

Even if Meng Yuxuan didn't tell the origin of this string of Buddhist beads, she was still interested in it.She is a person who eats fast and recites Buddha all the year round, and is very sensitive to things with Buddha's light.She has a feeling that once she has this kind of prayer beads, even if she lives another ten years, 20 years, or even 30 years, there will be no problem.

Mrs. Qin carefully held the Buddhist bead, and put it on her hand like a jewel.She said gratefully: "Thank you, Princess. I will cherish it. When I get old, I will pass it on as a family heirloom of our Qin family. I hope this string of Buddhist beads can bless our Qin family. "

"Old lady, the master asked the servant to say that the banquet is ready, and the banquet can begin. Please invite the old lady and the princess to the table." A maid came in and said.

"Okay! I understand." Mrs. Qin stood up, bowed to Meng Yuxuan, and said respectfully: "Princess, I'm really sorry for neglecting the concubine. Please invite the concubine and the old lady to the table!"

"Old lady, today you are the birthday star. You are the home team here, and I am just a guest. You don't need to be so polite. Besides, you are so old, I dare not accept your gift." Meng Yuxuan quickly supported her.With a gentle face, she helped Mrs. Qin towards the lobby like an ordinary junior.Mrs. Qin, who was tense and collapsed, slowly relaxed.

"Princess, this way please." The maid said respectfully.
