Huo Xi didn't even bother to snatch the goods that Jun shipped outside the customs.
It was just a little trick to delay their delivery and grab their order.
When Jun's caravan came back, he reported everything to Mrs. Jun about the missing goods. He even described clearly what the other party was wearing and what tribe he was suspected to be from in Xifan.
But as soon as Aunt Jun asked, Mr. Jun subconsciously hid it.
Anyway, the goods can't be recovered. It's almost impossible to recover it from Xifan. It's like a stone sinking into the sea. It's better to leave the matter on the heads of Mu Yan and his wife, maybe they can still get it back.
"Daughter, you have to make the decision for your family on this matter. You need to talk it over with the Duke. This batch of goods can be worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and because of this, we also lost the order with the nobles of the Western Regions, and we suffered heavy losses.
.In the next few years, we may not be able to coax the noble people over there to return. This will cost more than millions of taels."
If you can order a little more, why not?
It would be best if the Duke of Guizhou transfers all the property in Mu Yan's hands to the Jun family as compensation.
Within a few days, Huo Xi discovered that she and the people under her were being taken care of everywhere in the mansion.
Since returning home, the father-in-law asked about it, and her status with the maids has become normal. But now, although she can receive it, it is their turn to have to pick out the leftovers from others.
In the argument with the manager, they also said that they are the ones who pick the big house? They mocked them because they came from the capital and looked down on things from small places.
The maids did not make a fuss because of Huo Xi's reputation.
As a result, everything is wrong when you go to the kitchen to get the food. It is either cold, leftover, or plain. Even if you go early, it is not ready, and you are only asked to wait until the food is finished.
It wasn't their turn either.
Mu Yan and Huo Xi had small kitchens, but the maids and guards did not, so they still ate the food cooked in the large kitchen in the mansion.
The next step is to go out. When Huo Xi goes out, no one dares to stop her, but when the people below go out, they have to check the cards and be questioned in various ways.
Huo Xi is so annoyed. I also know that Aunt Jun is targeting her room.
In the flower hall in the backyard, Mrs. Jin, Mr. Bai, Mr. Duan and Aunt Fang were playing leaf cards. They talked about the discount sale at Jun's Cloth Shop.
"I heard they are cheaper. Two days ago, I asked my servants to buy some horses and prepare them for spring clothes."
The Jin family only gave birth to a daughter, Mu Jing, and now she has no worries even if the Duke of the Kingdom does not come into her room. Her daughter is the emperor's daughter-in-law, the step-concubine of King Zhao. She lives a comfortable life and does not usually go out for banquets.
, just dressing up, going shopping and playing cards.
"Although it has suffered some moisture, it doesn't hurt to wash it a few times and wear it inside. I also bought several horses."
The Bai family is also childless, but her daughter Mu Jin is married to the younger brother of Concubine Guo in the East Palace of the Marquis of Wuding in the capital city. If her daughter marries well, she does not need to look at others' faces in the palace.
Aunt Fang said angrily: "If there is such a good thing, why don't you call me? There are many people in our third room, and some spring clothes have been made." Then she asked about the situation...
"Why did so many goods come in at once? These are piled in the warehouse, must they be damaged?" Aunt Fang felt a little distressed.
Mrs. Duan knew it well and had a smile on her lips. Seeing Aunt Jun depressed, she was very happy. She got another good card, and she was even more happy.
"I heard that the maid of the Crown Prince's wife had troubles with the kitchen several times, but I don't know if the matter has been resolved." Mrs. Jin saw the excitement and did not think it was a big deal.
"I heard that they had a few quarrels with the concierge. They said that the concierge wouldn't let them go out." The Bai family was in the same state of mind as the Jin family. They both had no children, and their daughters were well married, so they could say whatever they wanted.
They are bored on weekdays and like to hear all kinds of interesting stories. What gossip in the house can be hidden from them?
Whose face do they want to see? Who dares to show their face? Aunt Jun is just a concubine like them.
If Mu Zhan becomes the heir, will they still give Jun Qiluo some face? Now? Do they need it? What can Jun Qiluo do to them?
Jun Qiluo wrote to their daughters before, using them as blackmail, asking their daughters to help Jun Qiluo with things. That was filial piety for children, but now that they know it, can Jun Qiluo still manipulate them?
How to deal with the Crown Prince's wife? In their opinion, Jun Qiluo was just sick and sought medical treatment.
"Third Madam, what do you think? Will the Crown Prince seek justice from the Duke?" Seeing that Duan didn't speak, Bai and Jin did not let her go.
A wife of the Duan family was favored by a concubine and hated the concubine the most. She also had no feelings for Aunt Jun as a concubine. Although she did not want to conflict with the second concubine, she smiled and said: "I quite like the second nephew's wife.
.”
Mrs. Jin raised her eyes and looked at her: "Are you so confident in the Crown Prince's wife? Auntie Jun has been in charge of the middle minister in this mansion for more than 20 years."
Duan raised her eyebrows, "So what? Outsiders think she is the princess's wife, but we know she is not."
The Bai family and the Jin family were dissatisfied, "She wants to be the princess's wife? Have you asked us?"
Mu Ang's biological mother, Aunt Fang, played a card and said with a smile: "That child has a good heart and I like her too. She is not a loser." She didn't worry about Huo Xi much.
Mr. Bai and Mr. Jin looked at each other. Are these three wives now on the side of the crown prince and his wife?
Never mind her. Whoever is in charge of the family will not deprive them of their food. They don't have to look at whose face they want their daughter to marry well.
Huo Xi is indeed as Aunt Fang said, she is not someone who is willing to suffer losses.
Aunt Jun asked the big kitchen to make things difficult for them. Okay, she doesn't need the chef's head office in the big kitchen, right? She immediately sent people to the human teeth, from the cook to the helper to the fire maid to the purchase, they bought everything and signed in
Deed.
She also asked the guard to go to the big kitchen and occupy a large stove. She said that from now on, this large stove would be used exclusively for cooking food by the servants of the big house and would be used exclusively by dedicated people. If she refused, the kitchen manager would come to see her.
The concierge asked them all kinds of questions and cross-examined them, but they were not allowed to go out?
Okay, let the guards occupy the side door closest to the courtyard of the big house on the east road. Send the gatekeeper, and send Mu Yan's private soldiers to guard it. From now on, except for the people from their big house on the east road, no one else wants to
However, you have to ask the prince and his wife for a pair of cards.
Send the clerk to pick up the remaining items for the servants of the big house? Okay, let's take a look at the account book. How much does it cost to buy these quotas? From now on, the big house will follow this price and just go to the accounting office to get the money to buy it himself.
Thank you for your help.
After some operations, Aunt Jun was also dumbfounded.
Which family's daughter-in-law is so courageous and dares to challenge the head of the family?
He also occupied the stove in the large kitchen, and sent private soldiers to occupy the east side door? He also used it exclusively for the use of the big room? He also sent people to guard it?
Is this a robber?
Huo Xi looked at the steward who didn't dare to raise his head in front of her and couldn't say anything, so he raised his eyelids.
"Ordinarily, our eldest son is the future head of the family. If I don't care about the middle minister, I should appoint a close relative to take charge of it. Even if I am a junior, it should be arranged by the Duke's wife. Let's look at the Duke together with you.
Madam is not here, and I have a good temper, so I dare to put face on the big house, right?"
"Don't you dare!" The manager knelt down with a plop.
