Mu Huagui

Chapter 123 Bankruptcy
"Report to the official immediately, and that bitch's uncle, hurry up and find him." The lady suddenly thought that the Chen family and her own dowry shop were in the hands of Steward Wang, and she stood up nervously, urging Mother Chen to personally go find it.

Mama Chen was also in a cold sweat. She and Mama Wang came from the Da Furen's natal family, so she naturally knew that Steward Wang was actually a free man, and had already been released from slavery long before he came to serve in the Chen family.If he escapes with Wang Mama... Thinking of this, Chen Mama also quickened her pace.

When Chen's mother reported that Manager Wang was gone, the eldest lady still had a glimmer of hope and asked all the shopkeepers to bring the account books to the mansion to settle the accounts.

The shopkeepers only knew that Steward Wang was ordered by the eldest lady to go to do an important matter in person, and even took away all the cash in the shop.At this moment, he was going to report to the boss again, and those who had a flexible mind already felt that something was wrong.

The lady was in a cold sweat after checking the account, and several shops had received a large amount of deposits to deliver the goods at a cheap price.Now the deposit and all the working capital, including the banknotes that have not been handed over to the eldest lady, have been taken away by them.

"What do you say in the yamen?" There was a last glimmer of hope in the eyes of Mrs. Zhou, who was sent to report the crime.

Steward Zhou lowered his head, "The yamen only said that it would help us sort out Madam Wang and Steward Wang, and other matters were said to be between us and the merchants, so they are inconvenient to participate." He naturally knew what the eldest lady expected of him, but He knew that this was simply the Da Furen's wishful thinking.

If the yamen judged these contracts to be null and void without compensation, it might not be so easy even if the Grand Master is still alive.What's more, the eldest lady turned a blind eye to the situation in the mansion, but still had this illusion.

"What, they, they are adding insult to injury." The eldest lady was furious, she clutched her chest and yelled at Manager Zhou before finishing the matter.

Manager Zhou turned pale with anger, and when he left, he spat heavily into the Da Furen's yard in a disheveled manner.

Soon after, Guanshi Wang stole the cash and money was exposed by someone with a heart. Many merchants who cooperated with him came to ask for the payment in advance for fear of losing money.Seeing this situation, the shopkeeper had no intention of doing anything. Many freelancers submitted their resignations and went to find other ways.The remaining ones who have sell their lives can't move, so they can only stay and deal with it.

If you can't handle it, you just push them to find the eldest lady. The eldest lady has never dealt with these people face to face.In the past, she had the official status of a grand lord, and with the management of Wang Guanshi, she only knew how to collect money, so how could she know about these business matters.

Seeing that she still has the prestige of an official's wife, she ignores these people and doesn't even give them a seat.Some people in the hall became ambiguous, "Mrs. Chen, oh, I forgot that your imperial wife's status has been taken away, and now I can only call you Mrs. Chen. It is only right and proper to pay back the debt. To tell you the truth, I sold it first before. Checkout after delivery, Mr. Chen is alive, and with his status, I am not afraid of anything. Later, when something happened to the house, we all were sympathetic, but it has been more than a year since the payment was made. If you have a family and a mouth, you can’t starve to death, can you?”

With the beginning, the others also found confidence, that is, the Chen family is no longer an official, but ordinary people like them.The lady was so angry that her lips trembled, but she couldn't say a word.In the end, it was her fault.

"Ma'am, why don't you sell a few shops and deal with the matter during this period, otherwise visiting the door like this every day will not be good for the third young master's illness." Mother Chen boldly advised the eldest lady.

The eldest lady had no one to discuss, she wanted to ask her son, but in the middle of the conversation, she was scolded by Chen Zian, saying that she didn't know people well and had no useful opinions at all.She wouldn't come to the second bedroom even if she was beaten to death, and she wouldn't send it up to be laughed at when something like this happened as soon as the house was separated.

As soon as she heard someone help her with an idea, the more she thought about it, the more she felt it made sense.After calling the shopkeepers to discuss it, the shopkeepers were eager to send these creditors away quickly, and they all nodded in favor.

After Chen Jiao'er heard about it, she asked Qi Luoshu to take advantage of the opportunity to pick up some bargains.Qi Luoshu smiled and said, "This kind of thing of taking advantage is still ordered by the young lady. The villain has been envious of a few shops in good locations for a long time."

As for where Wang Guanshi took Madam Wang to flee to, Chen Jiaoer smiled slightly. With Chang Zaixian, a native of Annan, they must have been able to avoid the government's arrest with the money.

When the eldest lady cleaned up all this and sent away these creditors with a loss of almost [-]% of the shop, one can imagine the anger in her heart.Aunt Yu was dead, and Ms. Wang was still missing for the time being, so Chen Zining became her best punching bag.

"The fourth young master hasn't come to pay his respects for several days, do you want to be disobedient like his old man." The eldest lady said to Chen's mother.

Mother Chen naturally understood, went to find the fourth young master, and brought him to see the eldest lady.Unexpectedly, the fourth young master's room was empty.The eldest lady was so angry, "One and two are like this. See if you have taken away the Chen family's things. If there is a penny missing, I will sue him."

Mother Chen counted and reported back, the fourth young master didn't even take a change of gown, and there were a lot of things in the house.There was even unspent monthly bills in the box on the table.

The eldest lady thought for a while, and said to Chen's mother, "If he wants to take the scientific examination in this life, he will come back and beg me to see how I can punish him then." The madam didn't nod, maybe she didn't even have the qualifications for the exam.When he thinks it through clearly, he will definitely come back to ask the eldest lady, and Chen's mother is also relieved.

At this time, Chen Zian had already lived in the suburbs of Beijing for two days. Cherry said to him, "Sister Yinqiao will come to see you in two days. This courtyard is the dowry of the princess. You said that you are the grandson of the princess. Come here." I'm preparing for the exam. Don't go out easily at ordinary times, food and clothing will be brought in by Zhuangtou for you."

"Thank you sister Cherry, thank you Miss Chen for me too. If it's inconvenient for sister Yinqiao to leave the palace, it's the same if I write a letter and Miss Cherry will pass it on for me." Chen Zining's expression was as gloomy as before, and it was obvious that it was by nature.But he is very discerning, and he must understand in his heart what kind of deal his sister had with Chen Jiao'er.

Cherry also admired his winking, smiled and asked him to write a letter, "It's true that the door of Xianjun Wang's Mansion is not easy to get out. If they have any letters, I will also turn them around."

Cherry has just married Chen Daren, and lives in Mianxiu Pavilion with Aunt Su and Uncle Su.Li Dafeng's family moved to the back alley of the palace, in the yard that Aunt Su bought at first.

Qi Luoshu personally arranged for Chen Jiaoer to choose a house near the inner city for his family to live in.Both Cherry and Chen Daren don't understand business matters, they usually go to Lu's residence early in the morning, and come back together at night.Chen Jiao'er let her enjoy life at home, Ying Tao immediately turned red and said that the young lady disliked her.

As a result, Chen Jiao'er couldn't say anything more, so the husband and wife came to Lu Mansion to report every day.

Chen Daren was waiting for Cherry outside the Zhuangzi, and when she got into the carriage, he asked, "It's the second gate to Xianjun Prince's Mansion."

"Yes, Yinqiao should be waiting there." After doing these things, Yingying is familiar with the way, Chen Jiao'er is very relieved.

Ever since Chen Qihong learned of Aunt Yu's death, she didn't shed a single tear, she just stayed up all night and didn't know what she was thinking.Yinqiao was really worried for a while, but fortunately she found that the young lady did not do anything special, so she was relieved.

Now that she received Chen Zian's letter, Chen Qihong's complexion finally got better, and she started to get busy in the small kitchen.Yin Qiao followed to help, seeing the young lady's hard work, she sighed, "The princess only said that the meatballs made by the young lady are delicious, and there is no need for the young lady to cook every day."

Hard work still pays off. When Chen Qihong once again served the dishes she cooked to honor the princess, the princess said, "The prince is still in the study. It's really hard work. You can send me a bowl of ginseng tea."

"Yes." Chen Qihong looked as usual, and called Yinqiao to bring ginseng tea to the prince.

A mother next to the concubine quietly followed and came back to report, "I didn't expect this foxy son to really change his temper. He only brought tea to the servant outside, saying that the concubine brought it to the prince, so he took the maid and left. But ..."

"But what..."

"The lord heard the movement and asked her to come in to serve her. The old slave dared not wait outside the lord's study for a long time. So..."

The princess nodded and rewarded her with money to let her go down.The prince is just a momentary squirm, and she has been married for many years, she knows it all too well.After so many years, I haven't seen him fall in love with that woman, it's just a novelty for a while.As long as they are obedient, she doesn't mind who the prince wants to serve.

One day, when Chen Qihong came to serve the princess for dinner, she picked up the princess in a good mood, and said with a smile, "The prince really loves the princess, and there is the princess's hairpin on the table. If it weren't for the affairs of the big family, the princess would have to pay for it." Just worry about it, I'm afraid the prince is willing to be by Wangfei's side all the time."

"Hairpin, what kind of hairpin." The princess smiled slightly and accepted all the compliments.

"A white jade hairpin, I see the way the prince picked it up and looked at it, just like looking at the princess, his eyes are shining." Chen Qihong looked envious and clicked her tongue.

"Hehe, it's just something from many years ago. I didn't expect the prince to keep it. This dish is good. I will make it again tomorrow and send it to the prince." The princess easily changed the topic.

As soon as Chen Qihong left, the concubine took people to the prince's study.The prince is usually not around at this time, and the servants dare not stop him. The concubine led people in in the name of cleaning without hesitation.

When he left, he said to his servants, "I just came to care about the daily life of the lord. If the lord didn't ask, you don't have to bother the lord with such a trivial matter."

"Yes." The servant waited for the concubine to leave, went in to check, and found that the things in the study remained the same, and found no difference, so they did not specifically report this matter to the prince.

The white jade hairpin was like a thorn, piercing the princess' heart hard, making it difficult for her to breathe.She knew in her heart that this was not hers at all, nor did it belong to any aunt, and it did not even belong to the hairpin of a woman in the palace.What does it mean? It means the problem is serious.
