The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 39
"Don't mention this again, don't cause trouble for the owner." The old shopkeeper reminded in a low voice.

The status of the Hu family in Anning City is extremely special. As the head of the business community here, it plays an unpredictable role in Anning City, a city that mainly focuses on trade.Except for the An Ning business world, where the Hu family is the leader, and even the prefect wants to give some face to the family, how can it be talked about by a shop boy?

If it gets out, it may be said that the Chu family intends to compete with the Hu family, which will cause trouble.

The guy was reminded and nodded again and again.However, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and muttered: "Doing business depends on one's ability. If our Chu family's company has the ability to occupy the first place, then there is nothing wrong with it!"

"What do you know!" The old shopkeeper patted the boy on the head angrily, making him shrink back.He raised his eyes to see the imperial plaque hanging high above, the four big characters flying and dancing on it were golden and shining, and beside the red silk body, incense was also burned to worship, as if they were gods. "If it wasn't for our lady's profound knowledge and getting this plaque, how would you have the guts to say such things here."

The clerk scratched his head and smiled: "Speaking of which, our lady is really different. I used to say that I am a stupid beauty, but now my lady has solved the most difficult puzzles in the world. In the future, who dares to say that we Miss bad words."

The old shopkeeper shook his neck, and his old face was full of pride: "So, the rumors are not credible. In the past, our lady just lived in the boudoir and kept a low profile. Now that the opportunity is right, it is naturally a blockbuster."

"Nowadays it is said that our young lady is extremely intelligent." The clerk said with pride in his tone.It has to be said that although Chu Zhengyang seemed too upright and old-fashioned in his business journey.But in terms of team cohesion, it is very impressive.

One prospers all, one loses all.He crushed it and mixed it into the hearts of these guys and stewards.

Today, Chu Qing's 'news' has once again spread throughout Anning City, but this time it is a good reputation, not slander.After all, the emperor's imperial plaque is still hanging in the Chu family, and no one has the guts to spread rumors and make trouble in this limelight.

And what about the parties?
In the pear garden of the Chu residence, Chu Qing was leisurely arranging the flowers and plants in the garden, listening to the report from the servant Fusu.The contents of the reports were all street rumors, mostly about Chu Qing.

When he said these words, his expression was excited, as if he had received a plaque from the imperial court.However, the righteous master was doing his own thing calmly, as if the person Fusu spoke of was not her.

"Miss is not happy?" Fusu asked suspiciously after he came back to his senses and saw Chu Qing's appearance.

What an honor it is to give a plaque, why can't he see a trace of pride and excitement on this girl's face?

Chu Qing handed the water bottle in his hand to Ming Liu, this little girl was also present at the time, now, from Fusu's words, it seemed that the night was back again, her cheeks were flushed with excitement.However, during the time she served Chu Qing, she had already gotten used to her lady being different, so she wasn't surprised.

"Fusu, Mingliu, you have to remember, no matter what you think in your heart, it is the most basic thing to do." Chu Qing answered the question without saying anything.

Fusu froze for a moment, lowered his eyes in thought.Ming Liu also blinked his eyes without knowing it, and finally nodded with a vague understanding.At this time, Fusu's face suddenly straightened, and he clasped his fists to Chu Qing and bowed: "Fusu will remember Miss's teachings."

Chu Qing lowered his head slightly, showing a 'teachable child' smile: "How about Hu Shao'an?"

When this name was mentioned, a dark light flashed in the depths of Chu Qing's eyes. She would never forget what this person did to her.If Shui Qianliu hadn't arrived in time that day, the consequences might have been... Thinking of this, she wondered why that proud peacock would come to the rescue?It's just a pity that we never saw each other again, otherwise she would have to ask clearly.

"Hu Shao'an has been lingering in the place of fireworks for days and nights in the oiran Hanchun's house in Chunmanlou." Fusu reported truthfully.

Chu Qing smiled slightly: "Very good. Tell Hanchun that whether she can regain her freedom depends on her performance."

"The little one knows." Fusu promised.

At this time, a rush of footsteps came from far to near.Chu Qing frowned slightly, before she sent Fusu to investigate, she saw a green shirt floating by, and Chu Zhengyang walked towards her with a bad expression.

"You guys go down first." Seeing this situation, Chu Qing ordered Fu Su and Ming Liu.

The two also noticed the difference in their hearts, and they moved away.When only the father and daughter were left in the garden, Chu Zhengyang said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect the Hu family to make a move so soon. I didn't have time to guard against it, so I fell into the trap."

"What's the matter?" Chu Qing asked.

Chu Zhengyang didn't speak, but took out a few documents from his arms and handed them to Chu Qing.When Chu Qing checked, he said with hatred: "The people who were sent to contact the tea farmers all returned without success."

Chu Qing's eyes flashed, and he already connected the cause and effect in his heart.What Chu Zhengyang showed her was an order of tea from the Hu family, the order was huge, if the business was successful, the Chu family would naturally make a lot of money.However, if the delivery cannot be made on schedule, the Chu family may not even be able to go bankrupt according to the compensation on the order.

As for what Chu Zhengyang said just now, it was clear that the tea farmers in the tea town were warned by the Hu family not to cooperate with the Chu family.In this way, the Hu family just waited for the Chu family to break the contract, even if they wanted to go to a tea village farther away to collect tea, there would be too little time.What's more, the contract specified which tea town to buy tea from.

This plan can be described as extremely vicious, silently trying to destroy the entire Chu family.

"Sure enough." Chu Qing narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a smile.

Outside Anning City, just as the city gate was opened and the market was still being cleaned, a group of caravans quietly left under banners.The word 'Zhenwei' was written on the banner, and it turned out to be one of the best escort agencies in Anning City.

The driver of the escort agency was sitting on the tall horse at the front, he didn't need to shout 'He Wu' at this moment, he would only shout to clear the way when he was in a dangerous place on the road.

This 'Zhenwei' Escort Bureau is an old partner who has cooperated with Chu Zhengyang for many years. This time he took Chu Qing to the tea village to collect tea, so naturally he still cooperates with them.

There were a total of seven or eight carriages in the convoy, except for the two in front where Chu Qing's father and daughter were sitting with the accountant, the rest were fully loaded with goods.It's just that those goods are sealed, and no one knows what's inside.

The bodyguards of the bodyguard bureau surrounded the convoy tightly, observing the movement around them with eyes like eagles, and headed towards the destination.

Looking at those bodyguards who were tall and strong on tall horses, Chu Qing lowered the curtains on the carriage, her beautiful eyes were thoughtful.

The Chu family is just an ordinary family of merchants, and does not raise thugs and guard the courtyard like the Hu family.If he wanted to travel far, he had to entrust his safety to the bodyguard bureau. Chu Qing was not used to the feeling of relying on others for survival.
