Mu Huagui

Chapter 120 Torment
After Chen Jiao'er returned to the mansion, Chang Zaixian was directly arrested by Zhou Mingyuan to the Dongjun Prince's Mansion.Considering that Lu Huo'er is not in the mansion, it is really inappropriate to leave him a foreigner in the Lu mansion.

Chang Zai Xian did not resist this time, probably from the incident of Princess Anle's mansion being smashed, he knew that Chen Jiao'er was now his reverse scale and could not be touched easily.

Zhou Minghua, the eldest son of Xianjun Prince, married his side concubine Huang Zhilan, but there was a little bit of trouble in the capital, and the attention he received was completely overshadowed by Zhou Mingyuan's anger as a beauty.

And Chen Jiao'er also received more attention, and even her life experience was dug up, the past when she was taken in by the Chen family, the descendant of the Lu family returned to the capital, and so on.If it is said that she only appeared in the circle of a few people in the past, and occasionally a fragmented past was brought out and talked about.Now it is being paid attention to by the wives and ladies in the whole capital, and the background has been systematically cleaned up, and it is brought out for people to analyze a little bit.

For this result, Chen Jiao'er was half helpless and half emotional. It seemed that the beautiful days of her laziness were finally gone forever.

Qi Luoshu came to Lu Mansion early in the morning to ask to see Chen Jiao'er, Gancao knew that they were masters and servants to the outside world, but the young lady respected him very much.Not daring to delay at all, he reported to the young lady and called someone to bring him over.

Seeing Qi Luoshu's refreshed appearance after arriving in the capital, Chen Jiao'er was genuinely happy.This is the real face of my uncle!

With a smile, Chen Jiao'er asked Qi Luoshu to sit down, served the best tea with licorice, and asked, "I haven't seen Xiaobao for many days, so my aunt will often bring him to play."

Every time my wife brought her son over, she didn't eat or drink, and she had to bring back at least a carload of gifts when she went back.It was really embarrassing for him to mention it twice, but Chen Jiao'er smiled and said that it was for children and had nothing to do with them adults.It made him dare not send his son over to play now.

"You guys, it's just something to eat. Looking at the cart after cart, it can't be worth a few silver. It's not real money, let alone antique calligraphy and painting. I have to care about these things. In the future, even you Don't come to the door." Chen Jiao'er knew that he was nervous about the gift, so she enlightened him.

"Miss is right." Thinking of Chen Jiao'er's current net worth, Qi Luoshu also felt relieved, the Lu family's century-old business is not for nothing.Back then, Miss Lu was quite far-sighted and adopted many orphans. She was worried that after a hundred years, these people would be left alone.

Simply allocate some manpower to specialize in various businesses, because they are scattered and have no contact with each other, and outsiders don't know that there is such a rich man in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Originally, Chen Jiao'er entrusted the management of these businesses to Lu Huo'er. From her point of view, everything in the Lu Mansion will belong to Huo'er in the future. Although she is the head of the sect, she is purely in the favor of her godmother.It is excellent to have such an identity, and leave the rest to Huo'er.

Unexpectedly, Huo'er took over, but let the group of people who are good at scouting information come under his own name, and handed over other business matters to Chen Jiao'er.After some excuses, Chen Jiao'er had no choice but to accept it. After thinking about it, she thought of a good candidate.

Qi Luoshu came from a family of businessmen, and had been in charge of his own business for decades.The small Jinxiu Pavilion really wronged the big Buddha, so after discussing with Lu Huo'er, they handed over all these matters to Qi Luoshu for management.

As soon as Qi Luoshu took over, he showed extraordinary business talent.Soon, the various businesses under the Lu family's name will be integrated, unlike the traditional businessmen who divide the area, but divide the business into three parts according to their nature.

One is to manage traditional people's livelihood, such as rice grains, cloth, restaurants, tea houses, jewelry, etc., which are all classified into one category;
One piece is a money bank, which is classified into one category separately;
The other piece is piecemeal, such as convoys traveling to and from remote areas or Fanbang for trade, several escort agencies, etc. are also classified into one category.

There is a big shopkeeper for each industry, and usually all business affairs are directly reported to Qi Luoshu, and they also have the right to report to the owner at any time, that is, Chen Jiao'er alone.

Under these big shopkeepers, there will be several second shopkeepers who are in charge of their own independent industries or businesses. They report directly to the big shopkeeper, and at the same time accept Qi Luoshu's inspection at any time.

In just a few months, he had integrated various businesses in an orderly manner, and Qi Luoshu personally planned and adjusted the part of the business that could be cooperated with.

In this way, the Lu family's business has changed from a loose state where there was no connection with each other before, to a behemoth that is now involved in the whole body.In fact, purely for business, behemoths are more conducive to the accumulation of capital.

But for the Lu family involved, whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on the emperor's face.The reason why Chen Jiao'er insisted on doing this, she knew very well in her heart, although she and Lu Huo'er had surrendered to the emperor.But if the business is not put on the bright side, the emperor will inevitably be suspicious of them, since they have done it, they should do it thoroughly.

Qi Luoshu had to hand over the account book every month, and then carefully said, "The manpower brought by Mr. Lu has been missing. Is his account in the bank..."

Chen Jiao'er glanced at him, closed the account book and said, "Shopkeeper Qi, I know you think of me in everything, but Lu Huo'er's surname is Lu, and he is a descendant of the Marquis of Zhenyuan. These..." raised the account book in his hand, "Sooner or later It's all his. I'm just taking care of it for him temporarily, his account in the bank is always the first one, how much money needs to be withdrawn, if it's not enough, the seller will pay it."

As for her uncle, who lost everything in order to avenge her grievances, Chen Jiao'er was reluctant to say a harsh word, but she told him the matter clearly, and believed that he could understand what she meant.

"Yes." Cold sweat broke out on Qi Luoshu's forehead. The lady has always trusted him, and the meaning of speaking like this is clearly that she thinks she doesn't understand the truth.He hurriedly corrected his attitude, stood up and bowed to show that he knew.

"It's good that shopkeeper Qi understands. If Mr. Lu comes to the bank, please inform me immediately. Also, I will send someone to send the portraits of those three people. You can ask the artist to draw more and send them down. If there is any news about these people There will be a lot of rewards." Those who could inquire about the news were taken away by Lu Huo'er, and the rest were serious business people.However, in case of hope, Chen Jiao'er asked them to inquire, and it would be good if they could find out something.

"Yes, it has been arranged for a long time. By the way, after the old lady of the Chen family went to the second room, the first room made a lot of jokes." Although there is no full-time inquiring about the news, such gossip is still hard to come by. Full of teahouses and restaurant businessmen.

"Beating my aunt and concubine, the eldest lady is really..." Chen Jiao'er shook her head after hearing this, since the death of the elder, there have been many messy things in the Chen family, and there is no shortage of these one or two.

The Chen family also has an old lady, and Aunt Yu also has a daughter who is a prince's concubine. It's not her turn to worry about these things, just listen to them like a joke.

Seeing Yinqiao coming back alone, Chen Qihong said angrily, "You can't do such a small thing well, it must be because you haven't seen the prince."

Yinqiao suppressed her grievances, and said with red eyes, "Miss, this servant really saw the prince and said that you are not feeling well. But, but..."

"Then what does the prince say?" Chen Qihong sat up from the bed and said eagerly.

"My lord, my lord said, if it makes you feel uncomfortable, you can take a rest, and he will come to see you later." Yinqiao changed the words that came to her lips.If the young lady knew that the prince just sneered and said "a waste of rice", she would probably be saddened and hit her head to death.

"After a while, after a while, I keep saying that every time. Have you told the prince well, or are you a little rascal, wishing that I would die so that you could fly on a branch and become a phoenix." Looking into Yinqiao's eyes, Chen Qihong's eyes seemed to be bleeding.

Yinqiao touched her head to the ground, and smacked her head a few times. Seeing the swelling on her forehead, she raised her head and said, "Heaven and earth conscience, Yinqiao is just a servant girl. If the young lady is not favored by the prince, the servant girl is very capable, and she is just a child who is not allowed to be a child." A lowly servant girl. The servant girl is thinking of herself, and she also hopes that the young lady will be favored by the prince for a long time."

Knowing the nature of the young lady, no matter how loyal she is at this time, it is better to tell her directly that she has a close relationship with her.One prospers all, one loses all.

The prince is a relative of the emperor, and the concubines in the mansion are also from the background of upright ladies. As slaves, even if they are favored by the prince, they are just tools to warm the bed, and they will never be allowed to give birth to children.Royal bloodlines are so easy to be tainted by lowly maidservants, this is what the princess said when Yinqiao saw with her own eyes that a child of a family was force-fed with abortion drugs.

Needless to say, the fate of that servant was bleak, even Miss, if she hadn't tried her best, she would not have been able to give birth to a child safely.

Chen Qihong really listened to it, snorted coldly, and said, "You're smart."

"In a while, go and find out where the prince is." Chen Qihong thought of Aunt Yu and her younger brother suffering in the Chen residence, and wished to fly back to justice for them.

"Yes." Yinqiao sighed secretly, knowing that it was useless to persuade the young lady at this time.Aunt Yu finally delivered the letter and saw the blood-stained letter.Not to mention being a son of man, even Yinqiao felt very uncomfortable.

Knowing that the prince is in the study, Chen Qihong hurriedly asked Yinqiao to wait for her to get dressed, and rushed to the door of the study with a bowl of freshly boiled chicken soup.

Hearing that Chen Qihong was outside, King Xian showed an impatient look.The daughter of a criminal minister, she was allowed to stay in the palace because she gave birth to a son for him.Restless and resigned, instead appearing everywhere, King Xian felt that he had reached the limit of his patience.

Hearing that the prince let her in, Chen Qihong was very pleasantly surprised. She thought that it would take several times to make the prince soften, but she didn't expect it to succeed once.It seems that the prince still has her in his heart, Chen Qihong smiled with satisfaction.

"Oh, I want to go back to see my mother and brother." County King Xian showed an inscrutable smile.

"Yes, I will return after only one day." Chen Qihong said boldly.

Naturally, he didn't dare to say in front of the prince that he wanted to go back to see his aunt and concubine brother.All I have to say is that my elder brother is bedridden and the eldest lady is sick from grief. As a child, she wants to go back and fulfill her filial piety.
