Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 48
I saw the second wife of the Liu family smiling and said to the guests: "My sister-in-law is not feeling well, but she did her best to prepare a show for everyone. In the backyard of our mansion, the sister-in-law hid two white jade ruyis as a prize for everyone. , whoever finds it first, the white jade will belong to him.”

Baiyu Ruyi is the top grade among Ruyi, especially for girls as a dowry. Hearing that Liu used this as a lottery, the ladies in the seats were all excited.

Women are inherently thoughtful, so they tend to think too much. They think Mrs. Liu used white jade as a prize, so if she finds a woman, she can have a chance to get close to Mr. Liu Shao?

At that moment, some of them were already blushing. They wanted to ask a few more questions but didn't dare, so they tugged on the sleeves of the people next to them.

The second lady of the Liu family looked deeply at the guests below, "This white jade ruyi is divided into two statues, one for male guests and one for female guests, and only those who are unmarried can participate."

Immediately, the expressions of the people below were exciting, and the ladies who had guessed before were even more excited. Now that this point has been said, can you still not understand?

Mrs. Liu looked at the expression below, and was very satisfied in her heart.This time Mrs. Liu is not ill, and she has no chance to come out to preside over the overall situation. If she can win the old man's favor this time, maybe she will be given the power of housekeeper in the future.

Immediately, several clever girls came out, separated the unmarried male and female guests, and prepared to take them to the backyard.

Kong Linglong and Su Ye were particularly eye-catching among the crowd. Su Ye waved her fan and smiled when everyone was not paying attention: "If we leave now, what do you think?"

Kong Linglong asked Yu'er to follow her, and Yu'er was also unmarried, so she counted as a member, so the Liu family couldn't say anything.

There was a hint of coldness in Kong Linglong's words: "Others have prepared everything for you, if you don't follow up, you will be rude."

Su Ye glanced at her, wanting to remind her something, but when the words came to her lips, she smiled again: "I have always attached great importance to reciprocity."

The two of them glanced at each other knowingly, and then left with the girl in the Liu residence.

Liu Liangyue received the news in the backyard, and immediately discussed with Cheng Jinhua: "Er Niang has already separated Kong Linglong from her concubine. You and I will deal with them separately. I don't believe it. What tricks can they do this time!"

On Cheng Jinhua's side, he clenched his fan tightly, his expression a little unpredictable.

Liu Liangyue gritted her teeth and said, "You don't want to say you don't want to do it at this time."

Cheng Jinhua saw that her expression was unkind, and immediately laughed along with her: "How could that be? The girl was just thinking about how to not arouse Kong Linglong's suspicion."

Liu Liangyue sneered: "Just do what you want, don't forget, you have offended my mother, and my grandfather has never tolerated you. Even without today's incident, you may not be able to stay in the Liu family for long. But If you do well today, at least I will protect you from my grandfather."

Cheng Jinhua was tempted, she was a little hesitant at first, but what Liu Liangyue said was the truth, if it wasn't for the fact that she was in dire straits in the Liu family, she would not have rushed to the doctor and found Liu Liangyue, a savage daughter-in-law.

At that moment, Cheng Jinhua clenched his fan tightly, and he was desperate. He was going to die anyway, so it was better to give him a chance.

At this time, Liu Liangyue thought of something, and suddenly sneered: "Besides, that concubine Kong Linglong is very good-looking, and some people say that he is even better than my cousin. Taking today's opportunity, don't you want to meet him?"

Cheng Jinhua forced a smile: "Cousin, don't laugh at me, I don't mind how good-looking he is."

The corner of Liu Liangyue's mouth twitched.As her cousin, she has always admired her brother in her heart, thinking that she doesn't know.It's a pity that Cheng Jinhua, a niece whose natal family has lost power, lives in the Liu family, and is also compatible with Xiao Xiang, the eldest son of their Liu family.

The maids of the Liu residence led the male and female guests to different courtyard entrances, and then left calmly.Those who came here to attend the banquet were either rich or noble, and each brought their own maids with them, and since it was said to be a game, if the servants of Liu's mansion still followed, it would inevitably give people a sense of surveillance.

So this consideration is exactly in line with the wishes of these guests.

On Kong Linglong's side, as soon as the servants of Liu's residence left, the "weak and weak" ladies immediately showed their claws and claws. As agreed, they all automatically hid from Kong Linglong and kept away. Wang Wang intentionally showed a look of disdain, hoping that this would blow Kong Linglong's arrogance.

But Kong Linglong, master and servant, didn't even give them a wink, they went into the forest in the courtyard and started looking for it.

The ladies were so angry that their noses were crooked and their eyes were slanted, but they couldn't do anything about it. After all, they were still in the Liu family. If they really clashed with Kong Linglong and left a belligerent impression on the Liu family, everything would be over.

The ladies rushed into the forest one by one, and they didn't feel a little more balanced until Kong Linglong was thrown far away.

Yu'er frowned and looked at the smoke and dust billowing in front of her: "Isn't it just a wishful handle? Our Kong family has a lot of warehouses. Miss can change one every day."

Kong Linglong smiled lightly and glanced at Yu'er. This little girl's mouth is becoming more and more poisonous. I don't know who she learned from.

"Sit down and rest first," Kong Linglong said, "it just happens to be clean."

At the banquet just now, the grandparents of the Liu family were better at acting than the other. Although Kong Linglong was able to cope with it, she was really disgusted and it was hard not to be affected.

So seeing the beautiful scenery of the woods of the Liu family, it is better to take a rest and adjust your mood.

The young lady had already spoken, so what could Yu'er have to say, anyway, she didn't care about Yu Ruyi, so she sat down impromptu.

"Miss, Mr. Suye has no servants around, will he be troubled by the Liu family?" Yu'er was simple-minded, she just felt that since Suye had helped her own lady, she was standing with them and should be concerned about it.

Kong Linglong shook her fan again and again, her eyes were light: "If the Liu family really troubles him, you should worry about the Liu family."

Will Suye suffer?Kong Linglong never considered this issue at all.

Suye was in a good mood, the situation on his side was worse than that of Kong Linglong, those young masters and young men all respected him as if they were avoiding poison, and in the end only Suye was left walking slowly behind.

While shaking his fan, he watched the scene with a smile on his lips.

Suddenly he heard a soft voice behind him: "Young Master Suye, please stay still."

Su Ye heard the voice familiar, the corner of her mouth smiled wider, and turned around.Seeing Liu Shao striding over, after approaching, Liu Shao's eyes darkened slightly, and he smiled and cupped his hands: "Mr. Suye."

Su Ye also raised her hand for a moment, and said with a smile, "Master Liu, what's the matter?"

The two of them have no personal relationship, so stop being polite.

Liu Shao smiled lightly: "Anyone who is unmarried or unmarried can participate, so it doesn't count as a share?"

The smile on Suye's lips deepened: "Mr. Liu has such a character and appearance, most of the ladies in Xianyang are probably tempted. Do you still worry about marrying him?"

Most of the ladies like him, but Kong Linglong dismisses him and resolutely withdraws from the engagement to avoid him like a snake.

Liu Shao's eyes were cold, and he said lightly: "Mr. Suye, why should you be modest? Your appearance is outstanding, and I know that I can't compare to it."

If you only praise your good looks, you are not a person who is an Israeli, and you are not useful.

Su Ye thought it was funny, this Mr. Liu had so much good reputation for nothing, but he didn't have the slightest magnanimity, those so-called gentleman's demeanor were mostly pretended, such a person was the leader of the high school palace examination, it can only be said that those people in the capital are more and more Blind.

As soon as he thought of the capital city, Liu Shao looked at Suye sharply: "Young master, I recognize the name, and a dignified person in the capital looks a bit like him. Dare I ask you that your full name is Suye?" ?”

The expression on Su Ye's face didn't change a bit: "My surname is Su Ming Ye, and I'm from Nanyang. I really don't know who the nobleman in the capital Mr. Liu is talking about."

People from Nanyang, Liu Shao has also inquired about it before, Nanyang is a place where beauties... and actors come out.

Liu Shao looked at Su Ye's appearance again, and there was a trace of contempt deep in his eyes, as expected, he looked like an actor or actress.That's why he got mixed up with Kong Linglong, that business girl.

Thinking of this, all the fear in Liu Shao's heart dissipated, he hastily raised his hand at Su Ye, and walked away.

Su Ye looked at his back with a cold expression on the corner of his mouth.

Even if Liu Shao went back, he would tell Mrs. Liu: "That night is nothing to be afraid of. Everything he did should have been ordered by Kong Linglong."

Mrs. Liu's eyes were sharp, "Don't be too careless, as far as his performance at the banquet today is concerned, he can't be a person who has no intentions at all. If Kong Linglong doesn't even look at you, why is it useless to look at him?" people?"

Liu Shao's face was a little stiff, which was the last thing he wanted to admit. He was looked down upon by a daughter of a merchant family, which made his dignified and noble son of the Liu family look like a joke.

"Grandfather," Liu Shao lowered his voice, "Why on earth did you get married to the Kong family? If it's for money..."

After all, Liu Shao can only talk about this. Mrs. Liu looked at him coldly, but rarely got angry: "Do you know how much you are worth, the leader of the palace examination?"

Liu Shao's heart skipped a beat, and Mrs. Liu once again touched a place in his heart that he didn't want to touch.

Old Mrs. Liu said: "Open up the joints around the saint and let the examiner agree to support you. All these things add up, and it took 10 taels of gold."

Liu Shao was startled, 10 taels of gold, even though he claimed to be born wealthy, this 10 taels greatly shocked his nerves.

Actually, do you want so much money?
Liu Shao pushed himself and others, so how much did it cost his grandfather to be an official in Beijing all these years?It is actually a number that I dare not think or say.

Old Master Liu's voice interrupted the fantasy coldly: "If you want power, you must first have money. Every son of the noble family like you knows this truth. You married the daughter of the noble family, no matter how precious, her It is impossible for the family to support you with money. Only Kong Linglong is different."

Only Kong Linglong is different.
