Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 90
After hearing the news, County Magistrate Wang rushed to Kong's house in a panic, and directly confronted County Magistrate Li.

"Li, what do you mean?"

But county magistrate Li is also arrogant, why should magistrate Wang get close to the big tree, he has no choice but to surround Kong Linglong's family before Kong Linglong pays the tax.

"It's nothing interesting. This Kong Linglong committed a crime in my iron shop in Ye City. This county arrests people according to the law. If the county magistrate Wang refuses to accept it, you can sue me at your superiors."

Forgive the surname Wang can't bear him, as long as he follows the instructions and surrounds the Kong family, neither letting people in nor letting people out, the mentor promises to promote him when he is next transferred.

No one wants the benefits of getting it. County magistrate Li knows that someone is backing him this time, and he will not give in to magistrate Wang.

County magistrate Wang was so angry that his liver hurt. He glanced at the densely surrounded Confucian house. Even if it was arson, it was immediately discovered and extinguished. Where is there any place to start?

Yu'er peeked at the situation in the front yard, and ran back to tell Kong Linglong that Kong Linglong was talking with Su Ye, and she didn't react much when she heard this, as if the two county magistrates had nothing to do with the quarrel at the gate. It was provoked by the person playing chess on the opposite side.

I don't know how many times I lost this morning, Su Ye smiled wryly: "Linglong, before I played chess with you, I always thought you were a good chess player."

With her usual character of planning layouts, she can't learn how to play a small chess game.

Kong Linglong also knew that she was bad at chess, so she looked away: "It doesn't matter if you are a good chess player or not, besides, I am a good cavalier in riding and archery."

Kong Linglong's equestrian skills are very good, even if she sits in a sedan chair all year round, she has not been abandoned.

Before Suye was about to say something, a pretty maid came up and served him and Kong Linglong tea. This is a maid from Xiyuan, and she rarely has the opportunity to serve her master.

Kong Linglong stared at the maid, and suddenly asked, "Where is Nie Qianqian?"

Su Ye shook her fan and said for a moment, "I haven't seen her for many days."

Suye used that method to greatly hurt Nie Qianqian's self-esteem, and Nie Qianqian never passed in front of Suye's eyes again, whether it was intentional or unintentional, it was as if she had disappeared in Xiyuan.

Kong Linglong called the eldest girl in charge of Xiyuan, Chuberry. "Cubie, where did you arrange for Nie Qianqian?"

Chu Berry replied crisply: "She can't serve the young master, so the servant has arranged other work for her. Let her be responsible for purchasing the supplies in Xiyuan."

Each yard is managed separately and independently, and there is a rough envoy who is responsible for purchasing.Nie Qianqian didn't wink at Su Ye, offending Su Ye, she could only let her do other things.

Kong Linglong raised her eyes slowly: "You let her leave the house?"

Chuberry was a little uneasy, "What's wrong, Miss?"

I wondered in my heart, could it be that the eldest lady still cares about this Nie Qianqian, and is reluctant to let her do such rough work?

Kong Linglong was thinking about another thing. She bought Nie Qianqian just to keep her under her nose, because in this way she would never have the chance to meet Liu Shao. Government procurement?
Kong Linglong waved Chuberry down, and Suye glanced at her: "This Nie Qianqian is just an orphan girl from a poor family, so there shouldn't be anything worthy of your attention, right?"

No matter how smart Suye was, she certainly wouldn't think of all the things in her previous life. Kong Linglong also pretended not to know, picked up a chess piece and said leisurely, "Do you think she is ordinary, but I think she is beautiful and charming, very lovable."

Su Ye's chess piece was hanging in the air, and his eyes were fixed on Kong Linglong's face: "Could it be that you sent her here because of this thought?"

Expect him to "love" a maidservant?
Kong Linglong continued indifferently: "Just because you don't love her, doesn't mean others won't. After all, there are many men in this world who have a strong desire to protect and love such poor and weak women."

Su Ye's eyes were dark and deep, and he always felt that Kong Linglong wanted to say this sentence a long time ago.

"It must be that man who is blind. He loves the weak and needs to distinguish between good and evil. I think Linglong, who is strong on the outside and soft on the inside, is more suitable for people to love."

……

When Nie Qianqian went out today, because there were many officers and soldiers at the door, and because Nie Qianqian was not accompanied by others, those officers and soldiers all stared at her, which made Nie Qianqian feel very humiliated.

While wiping her tears, she walked to the table secretly, regretting that she had come to Kong's house many times.Especially the money that was given to her to buy was all carefully calculated. She had to keep haggling with those peddlers, and even many peddlers showed contempt for her, which made Nie Qianqian even more unbearable.

Those maidservants in Xiyuan must have deliberately teased her.Why isn't this kind of work assigned to others?

She always treats people narrowly, so naturally she doesn't think about it. Before she came to Xiyuan, did other maidservants do such things from time to time?
Because she was angry, she didn't pay attention when she was walking, and suddenly bumped into a body, and all the eggs in the basket in her hand fell to the ground and smashed to pieces.

Nie Qianqian herself fell to the ground, and at this moment her heart was full of humiliation, and she shed tears angrily.

At this moment, a voice said: "Are you okay?"

Nie Qianqian heard the voice was extremely warm and delicate, as if just hearing this voice, she felt that the other party was a jade-like person.Her heart skipped a beat.

At this time, someone beside him laughed and said, "It seems that you, my lord, frightened this girl."

Nie Qianqian couldn't help raising her head, and suddenly saw a face facing the wind and jade tree, wearing brocade clothes of a nobleman's son, holding a gold-painted folding fan in her hand.

There were still tears in her eyes, but the resentful expression just now was gone, replaced by a sense of weakness.

She has a beautiful face, and to set off this kind of temperament that I still feel sorry for, many passers-by around me took a second look.Including Liu Shao, who bumped into her just now, raised his eyebrows.

The servant next to Liu Shao said in surprise, "It was just a collision, and you bumped into our young master first, why are you still crying?"

Liu Shao said lightly: "Shut up."

Liu Shao glanced at the eggs on the ground, and then looked at the girl's clothes on the ground, and knew that it should be someone else's maid, probably because she broke the owner's things, so she was afraid.

A trace of disdain could not help but pass through his heart, but the woman in front of him was quite pretty, so he would not be disgusted.

So after taking another look at Nie Qianqian, he took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeve, weighed them in his hands, and brought them to Nie Qianqian, saying softly, "Take it, you're just an abrupt girl."

Nie Qianqian's eyes flickered, she shook her head immediately, and her voice was distorted with nervousness: "My lord is serious, yes, I was not careful."

Liu Shao smiled, didn't take it seriously, gave the broken silver to Nie Qianqian, and planned to leave with the servant.

Nie Qianqian looked at his back, lost her mind for a while.

But when she regained consciousness and saw her cheap clothes and dirty shoes, she felt ashamed and unwilling.

If, if at that time...she had gone with that old bustard, why would she not have to suffer a lot of leisure than now, right?She, Nie Qianqian, came from a good family, but those maidservants from humble backgrounds in the mansion still look down on her, so why?
She thought that Kong Linglong should look up to her, but she treated her like this. No matter how other people in the house thought this eldest lady was kind and kind, Nie Qianqian felt that Kong Linglong was a heartless woman who could not tolerate others.

Nie Qianqian stood up fiercely and threw the basket in her hand to the ground.

Seeing all this from a distance, Chu Berry turned her head and said, "Tell the eldest lady about this, and say that Nie Qianqian really saw Mr. Liu."

To be able to meet each other under such circumstances should be said to be a miracle of fate or an unavoidable fate.

Chuberry wanted to make up for her mistakes, so she said to Kong Linglong: "Tomorrow, I will ask her not to leave the house again, and the procurement should be left to the original maid."

Kong Linglong, however, was drawing the embroidery, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up: "No, you still let her be in charge of purchasing, but remember to find someone to follow her like today."

Chuberry said: "This servant understands."

Nie Qianqian naturally found out later that that was Liu Shao, son of the Liu family, who many girls in Xianyang wanted to marry, and it happened that he was also the person whom the Miss Kong family she served detested.

Nie Qianqian suddenly had the feeling of gnashing his teeth for a son who was so perfect in appearance and appearance, but Kong Linglong would dislike him.Kong Linglong was just a slightly richer merchant. Before Nie Qianqian's family fell into ruin, even Nie Qianqian's status would not be lower than that of a merchant's daughter.

But even this daughter of a merchant, who has the opportunity to marry into a noble family in the city, still treats her like a poor woman. Even so, there is still such a unique night in Xiyuan...

Nie Qianqian returned to Kong's house full of gloom, and after handing in the things she bought, she never said anything about meeting Liu Shao.

Even the money given by Liu Shao obviously still had a lot left, so Nie Qianqian accepted it with peace of mind.

County Magistrate Wang sent someone to inform Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu informed Situ Xueyi.

"Now the county magistrate of Yecheng has sent people to surround the Confucian mansion. If we want to attack, I'm afraid it will not be easy..."

Situ Xueyi played with the glazed lamp in his palm: "The county magistrate of Yecheng is here to take care of the affairs of the Kong family?"

Old Mrs. Liu said: "There was an accident before when the Kong family's salt ship had an accident. The county magistrate took a lot of benefits from Kong Linglong. He must wear a pair of pants with her Kong family."

Situ Xueyi sneered: "A merchant woman first made the people of Xianyang so concerned, but now she even reaches out to the officials of the neighboring county?"

The county magistrate Wang went to investigate Kong Shantang, and the people onlookers helped to speak. Now that he was about to make the next move, the magistrates of the neighboring counties came with soldiers?
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but look at him.

"How can a merchant woman have such a great ability." He then said lightly, "Naturally, there are all planning behind this."
