Entered the door of the silk and satin shop.

Xue Qingyin was not in a hurry: "Let's make a pot of tea first."

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Although Jin Xiang's brows were knotted, he still scolded: "Young lady, you have an order, why don't you go quickly?"

Hot tea was served quickly.

The waiter had a grimace and couldn't help but mutter: "The tea bowl was almost smashed."

Mrs. Xue asked what was going on.

The people in the Silk Village are much more honest than those in the village in the suburbs. They don't dare to lie about anything and explain everything clearly.

He Songning's acting style and temperament are inseparable.

He has a deep city and ruthless methods. Anyone who stands in his way will be dealt with mercilessly.

What kind of master will naturally produce what kind of subordinates.

He Songning understood the principle of small profits but quick turnover early on. He first borrowed the roots of his grandfather's Xu family in Huainan Road to buy hemp-growing fields, and then firmly controlled the sericulture farmers. In this way, He Songning

The raw materials of the clothes are in his own hands.

They also borrowed the help of the King of Wei to take the waterway from the Li Canal, making the journey smooth and reducing transportation costs.

In the end, the low price forced other dealers to either become vassals of the Xue family silk shop or to perish.

He Songning met the King of Wei not long ago.

Therefore, the silk and satin shop has only been prosperous for two months.

But in just two months, the Xue family's silk and satin shop made seven thousand taels of silver.

It is simply the total annual income of all other people’s properties!

He Songning's style naturally made others dissatisfied.

They don't dare to go to King Wei, and they don't dare to come to find fault with your Xue family?

"Last month, our silk and satin shop caught fire for no apparent reason. Fortunately, the handymen were alert and discovered it in time and put it out. Later, the eldest son found out that it was Yufu Mansion that was responsible..."

"Yufuzhuang..." Mrs. Xue was silent for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, there was a fire in the capital half a month ago. All thirty people in Yufuzhuang were burned to death."

"yes……"

Mrs. Xue was a little shocked.

The matter is right in front of her. It is obvious that the fire in Yufuzhuang was caused by her son!

But how dare he?

This is at the feet of the Emperor!

Xue Qingyin at the other end almost hit the tea cup.

He Songning is so cruel!

A chill ran down her back.

If He Songning wanted to kill her... wouldn't it be as easy as killing an ant?

The steward smiled awkwardly and continued: "Madam, don't get me wrong, this matter has nothing to do with us. The thieves were all caught later."

Xue Qingyin said in her heart, I believe you are a ghost!

The steward added: "There are gradually rumors in Beijing, saying that we are not to be offended. Once these words spread, it has a deterrent effect on those small families. But if it falls into the ears of those nobles, isn't it a provocation?

There is no silk and satin shop in Zhao Guogong's house, but there are three ready-made clothing shops. It was this Yufu shop that supplied them with clothing materials before..."

Mrs.

Xue Qingyin was at a loss.

Mrs. Xue seemed to see her confusion, so she explained to her carefully: "Although there are many princes and princes in the court, when it comes to real power, it must be Duke Zhao. Duke Zhao is the sworn brother of His Majesty today.

During the campaign in Lingnan in the past, it was Zhao Guogong who carried His Majesty on his back and walked out of the mountains and forests full of poisonous miasma.

"Zhao Guogong's wife died of illness early, and he only had a son, but... he was born stupid. Zhao Guogong couldn't worry about it, so he bought him countless properties. The combined properties of my Xue family and Xu family are not as good as one finger of Zhao Guogong's house.

.

Jin Xiang answered: "The palace of Duke Zhao is so powerful that the servants in the palace must be more vicious."

Mrs. Xue sighed and said: "It's good if it doesn't hurt anyone. When you do business in the future, you must never compete with others like this again."

Jin Xiang lowered his head and responded, but he didn't take it seriously.

He still prefers the methods of the eldest son.

Mrs. Xue had no idea that whether it was her own property or the Xue family's property, as soon as the people under her were handed over to He Songning, almost all of them followed He Songning's lead.

In a few years, I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize my master anymore.

"Madam, has this matter... been exposed like this?" The person in charge couldn't help but ask.

Mrs. Xue doesn't have a good temper either, but she understands the situation clearly.

"Otherwise, what else do you want? Go and have a fight with Duke Zhao's mansion?"

"But...but if we just ignore it, people outside will think that we are paper tigers! There will be even more people stepping on us in the future!" the manager said anxiously.

He said to himself, especially the eldest daughter of the Xue family is not very popular outside...

Maybe there is a noble daughter or young master from some family who wants to use them to slap the eldest girl in the face!

Jin Xiang hesitated and said: "It is better to report this matter to the Young Master..."

But Mrs. Xue was very determined: "Why disturb him from studying?"

Jin Xiang thinks so.

Business is important, but the imperial examination is even more important!

"You guys should clean up Zhuangzi first." Xue Qingyin said.

"yes."

"We have to think of a way." Xue Qingyin said softly.

But she doesn't have any ideas right now.

Or I haven’t read enough books! She thought.

The steward responded, not expecting the eldest girl to come up with any ideas.

Mrs. Xue thought so too.

After all, seeing such a mess gave her a headache, let alone Xue Qingyin?

Mrs. Xue pressed her forehead and said in a deep voice: "I only visited two houses today, and it's already causing trouble. I think the management in this mansion should be rectified!"

The stewards immediately fell silent and did not dare to speak.

Mrs. Xue didn't want to stay any longer, so she took Xue Qingyin back to her house.

As soon as I entered this room, a boy came to report to me from the other room.

"A post sent from Princess Jinque's house." The boy handed it over respectfully.

Xue Qingyin took it over in surprise.

It was to invite her to play ball.

That is, playing polo.

Xue Qingyin weighed her body.

Probably the final outcome was falling off the horse and breaking his neck.

...Forget it, just go and make up the numbers.

Xue Qingyin also wanted to meet the Golden Bird Princess.

Mrs. Xue was very happy to hear this.

Qingyin was finally able to make friends, and she was such a great "friend".

Before leaving on the second day, Mrs. Xue repeatedly told her: "Don't bother the princess with the silk shop just because she is in love with you. A noble person like her hates other people's greed for profit. You want to take over the family."

From now on, I still have a lot to learn about these people’s worldly knowledge..."

As she said this, Mrs. Xue couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

How she wished her daughter could just be a lazy, sweet girl.

It's a pity... As a woman, if you are not tough enough, your life will be extremely difficult in this world. After all, your parents will leave one day...

Xue Qingyin simply dressed up and went to Princess Jinque's Mansion.

Princess Jinque's Mansion is magnificently built, with numerous terraces and pavilions, and a cloud of cars and horses in front of the door.

The noble ladies from each family were supported by maids as they stepped out of the carriage, and the fragrance filled their nostrils.

Xue Qingyin's maid was a little disappointed: "It turns out you are not the only one invited."

Xue Qingyin didn't find it strange.

After all, she and Princess Jinque really don’t know each other!

Those were all compiled by King Xuan.

How can you expect Princess Goldenfinch to treat her specially?

"It turns out Miss Xue has arrived." Someone said from a distance.

He Songning did not follow, and these people no longer concealed their dislike for Xue Qingyin.

"I heard that Miss Xue entered the palace and became the fourth princess's companion, congratulations."

"Isn't there also the one from the Xie family?"

"Yes, I heard that Miss Xue got a reward when she came out of the palace that day. It was a precious thing from the Western Regions. I wonder what reward Miss Xue got that day? It might open our eyes to tell it."

Xue Qingyin said three words slowly: "Fourth Princess."

Everyone stopped talking and turned around.

They saw the fourth princess standing on the threshold, looking down at them.

The fourth princess twitched her lips and smiled at Xue Qingyin.

Xue Qingyin walked up and grabbed her arm affectionately.

Gee, it’s not easy to have an idiot in this book.

It's better to follow the fourth princess.

The fourth princess looked at her in shock.

What makes this man so brave?

How dare she grab my hand like this?

Is she not afraid that I will deal with her today?

The fourth princess leaned into Xue Qingyin's ear and said gloomily: "I advise you to be careful today...that noble man is going to take action against you."

Xue Qingyin's smile was as bright as a flower: "Thank you to the fourth princess for reminding me. The fourth princess treated me with such enthusiasm. I am really touched."

Fourth Princess: "..."

Was that a reminder?

I was obviously trying to intimidate you!

At this time, a voice came in: "Where is Miss Xue? Her Royal Highness the Princess asked Miss Xue to go to the back hall first to talk."

This princess, of course, refers to Princess Jinque.
