Chapter 29

After being stunned by Mian Tang's beauty, He Erye couldn't help but frown and raised his voice: "Mrs. Cui, I wonder why Manager Cui didn't come here in person. Could it be that he disliked the invitation submitted by the Chamber of Commerce too late? He was not very happy?"

Miantang was taken back to her parents' home by her mother when she was a child. She once saw her grandfather and uncle at home visiting the pier with their own eyes. The men and horses from both sides stood up and stood up, fighting each other with a knife hidden in their words. There was a knife hidden in their waists. Such a scene did not scare her, but she found it very interesting!

She thought she would not have the chance to be so popular in the world, but she didn't expect that a few thin chickens who burn porcelain would get together, and that style would be as high as they would step on the lower side.

According to President He’s opinion, he looked down on her woman, and joined the chamber of commerce for her husband!

Looking at President He's contemptuous eyes, Liu Miantang reduced his deliberate manners and restrainedness, raised his chin and glanced at the rules of the chamber of commerce hanging on the walls of the house.

Later, maybe she didn't think she was careful, so she slowly walked over and looked at each one carefully.

The second master of the He family spoke, but Mrs. Cui did not answer. A woman was calm and relaxed, just strolling in the hall as if no one was around...

He was immediately unhappy and his face was sunk. A shopkeeper next to him who was beating him immediately said to him: "Mrs. Cui, President He's question, why don't you answer? Could it be that you are deaf?"

Liu Miantang then slowly turned around and said, "It was only after listening to President He's words that I realized that I was here for the little woman. The Cui family was actually neglecting the meaning of the Chamber of Commerce. Then I quickly looked at the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce to see if there were any clauses that women could not enter, so as not to violate the ban on the Chamber of Commerce."

Although Liu Miantang was among a group of men wearing silk gowns and long robes, he spoke clearly and tall, and he was generous when speaking. He was definitely not the timid look of an ordinary woman when she couldn't stand the world.

When she raised her eyebrows slightly and spoke, although her tone was calm, she was full of jokes, which made the shopkeeper who was angry and questioned for a moment was speechless and could not speak.

Although Mr. He Er didn't look at the Yeluzi store from the Cui family outside the country before, he couldn't help but look at Mrs. Cui again.

But all the merchants here are used to being flattered by their wives and concubines at home. How could a woman from a foreign country say such words?

There is another pioneer who helped He Erye and said sarcastically: "Although the Chamber of Commerce allows women to enter, they are all masters from each family. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to be the only woman?"

Miantang walked around, and his ankle was a little painful again, so he chose a chair and sat down and said, "It's not the first day that our Yushao Porcelain Store is doing business on Lingquan Street. Who doesn't know that my husband is studying outside, and all the chores at home are handled by me, a woman. I thought that I would be considered to be very polite to come to my slave. If I had known that you had the problem of inconvenience to talk to a woman, I would have asked the shop to pour water and sweep the floor to pay my respects to you!"

When he said this, Mian Tang's mouth was slightly curled up, looking at the clamoring fat merchant, who was like a donkey dung egg on the side of the road.

The tricks that she used to show off her are all the remaining tricks of her uncles at home. Even if Liu Miantang is injured now, her tongue is still effective. If there are any ungrateful people, they will scold them so hard that they can't touch the door to go home!

The fat merchant's face turned red by the crushing wife Cui. Just as he slapped the table and was about to continue attacking, a quick voice sounded from the side door: "Look at what Mrs. Cui said, our Jiangnan area stores have always been as capable as women and men. How could he look down on Mrs. Cui?"

Miantang looked up and saw a woman wearing a jade hairpin on her head, leading two maids, and walked in with a refreshing laugh.

Miantang looked her up and down, sat steadily on the chair without saying anything. Li's mother was like a grandma of the royal family, holding a black face so that Ni Zhongsheng could see everything in the hall as if he saw garbage.

This master and servant are all superior in style, which really makes the men here secretly itchy.

However, the girl who had just come in smiled slightly and took the initiative to greet the Cui family's wife.

Adhering to the principle of not beating a smile on someone with a smile, Miantang also picked up the politeness. After a few words of the conversation with her, he realized that the third daughter of the second master of the He family was named He Zhen.

This He Zhen, who is eighteen years old, is similar to Liu Miantang. For some reason, she has never been able to get married. However, she is smart and capable, and is even better than her brothers. She is a good helper to Mr. He. Most of the old stores in the He family have to pay her hands.

This girl He is very cheerful and looks very kind. After looking at Miantang up and down, she held her hand and chatted without being touched. In a few words, the atmosphere in the hall became warm.

As for the fact that I am not negligent and not negligent just now, no one will mention it again.

Anyway, those who have asked the Cui family know that the man in that family is a variety of pillows, and the master of playing chess and playing birds is all about women supporting the storefront!

Because today the shopkeepers gathered together to discuss the major event of taking over the royal tribute and the porcelain needed by various wealthy families this year, the shopkeepers really have a lot of important things to do.

Liu Miantang adhered to the principle of speaking less and listening more, and only listened quietly from the side, then he understood the reason why shopkeepers from various shops flattered Mr. He Er.

It turned out that although the He family had received the royal tribute, many porcelain orders in the capital were unsuccessful. The He family had to eat meat, and each family also had some soup, so the chamber of commerce in Linquan Town seemed to be in a happy mood.

However, the old merchants in Linquan Town have soup to drink, so outsiders like Yushao Porcelain Shop can only smell the aroma of the broth. No one cares about it at all.

I wonder why the chamber of commerce sent out the invitation to invite her to come. Could it be that I came to see them for soup? Isn’t this a way to run people into red eye disease?

However, Miantang didn't come to ask for benefits, so he was naturally not jealous.

She sat peacefully in the corner, watching the men racking their brains to flatter the He family's father and daughter, and wanting to make more orders. She felt that this scene seemed to be a little better than the monkey show in Qingzhou.

She was happy to see it, so she picked a few fruits that she liked from the plate and ate them with tea, and then asked Mother Li to bring the paper and pen next to her.

While eating fruit, she held a pen in one hand and poked it on the paper.

He Zhen kept floating around with the movements of Mrs. Cui. Seeing her writing, she used the excuse of soothing her hands and feet and walked to her table.

Mian Tang did not avoid it, and let Miss He San look at it. Anyway, she drew like a ghost talisman, so Miss He San was straight for a long time, but she couldn't see the reason.

After the "soup and meat" in the chamber of commerce were almost all opened, the shopkeepers were very satisfied, but the Yushao Porcelain Store was deliberately forgotten by the He family, and there was not even a small order to fill in the teacup.

Some shopkeepers thought that this woman could not be a human being, so they offended Mr. He Er when they came up. The retribution came at this time. They only twisted their beards with their squint eyes and looked at Mrs. Cui with a meaningful smile.

Mrs. Cui dusted the cakes on her body, and said goodbye to the shopkeepers, and went home to have dinner without even being able to do so.

After Miantang left, He Zhen and his father went out of the chamber of commerce.

When he got on the carriage, Mr. He Er thought of Mr. Cui's mockery just now, and he still felt angry. He said to his daughter dissatisfiedly: "Why are you so kind to that woman from the foreign country just now? You should give her some colors so that she can know that Lingquan Town does not have the position of a foreigner who she first came to... It's just that she made a painter and made some famous things. I really don't take our He family seriously..."

He Zhen asked seriously: "Did your father notice what kind of gouache is the wife of the Cui family?"

Mr. He was stunned and said, "I don't understand the woman's gouache, how could I pay attention to it?"

He Zhen said solemnly: "The taste is especially the fragrant powder specially provided by Jiangnan Hanxiangzhai. It looks good in color, has a timeless taste and is very popular. Because of its scarcity, it is sold out by the wife of the prince's wife in the first year. Ordinary merchants cannot get this rare thing. The lady of the Cui family uses this. Her skills are probably not very ordinary, and she doesn't know what backing is in the background. My father doesn't know the background, so there is no need to offend her because of his words."

Seeing that his father still disagreed, He Zhen said again: "In addition, does the father know that the wife of the Cui family is also related to a strange case in Linquan Town?"

This aroused He Erye’s curiosity and asked: “What case is related to?”

He Zhen lifted the curtain of the car, looked out the carriage, and saw that there were no idle people waiting, and then said, "Father, do you know that the slutty nephew in the garrison has disappeared for more than a month. His wife was crying and almost drooling, so his father went to the garrison for help. Guess what? After the garrison visited, he scolded his younger brother and drove him out of the garrison mansion. Later, he learned that the garrison's nephew was sent to the garrison for three thousand miles and was directly escorted away from the military camp. Someone had seen that the nephew of the garrison and the garrison's wife had an unhappy experience on the street not long ago. Dad, think about it carefully. If these two things are combined, if you don't find out the details of the garrison's wife, how dare you offend her?"

Mr. He had never thought that there were so many hidden feelings on the streets and alleys, and he couldn't help but feel a little silent for a moment, and he felt ashamed in his heart.

His daughter has always been proficient and capable in terms of human relationships and worldly affairs, and has a meticulous observation. Since she saw that the Cui family’s wife was not simple, then that Cui must have something outstanding. He immediately told her daughter to carefully check whether the Cui family’s wife had any background.

Now the Yushao Porcelain Shop has mastered the coloring hand-painting technology that is better than the old He family. If it is really like my daughter’s guess, the Yushao Porcelain Shop has a good background, wouldn’t it be too big and interfere with the affairs, and replace their He family’s royal tribute?

Therefore, be careful in everything so that the He family’s royal job can be preserved and the wealth and glory of several generations...

Let’s talk about Liu Miantang, but he didn’t know that the box of rouge given to him by his husband actually made the third lady of the He family suddenly feel suspicious, and suspected that she was a businessman supported by noble people.

After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Miantang walked all the way and walked along the stone bridge water bank of Lingquan Town. The more he thought about it, the more confident he felt. He felt very clear and before he knew it, he even hummed a small tune.
