Chapter 243
Elegant room on the second floor of the teahouse.
Mrs. Zhang, who was sitting, stood up when she heard the sound of footsteps going upstairs.
The door of Yajian is pushed open, and Xia Xi comes in. Mrs. Zhang's eyes fall on her: about 20 years old, dark skin, slender eyebrows, corners of eyes seem to be stuck by something, not spread, bridge of nose is high, thin lips, mouth fork is bigger than ordinary people's.
The master called her an ugly woman. Her words were vicious, but she was not handsome.
Then nodded slightly to Xia Xi, "Miss Xia."
She looks at Xia Xi, who is also looking at her: half old Xu Niang, with a pretty face, gorgeous and dignified clothes, smart eyes and a smile on her face.
Xia Xi smiles, "Mrs. Zhang."
"I dare to come here today and disturb Miss Xia."
Xia Xi pulled a chair to sit down, "I don't know if Mrs. Zhang has any advice?"
Mrs. Zhang was slightly stunned, and then slowly laughed and sat back on the chair. "Yesterday, after I went back, I heard my master mention Miss Xia's name. I was curious. I came here to have a look today."
"Is it?"
Xia Xi pick eyebrow, "you have seen, is it time to go?"
Mrs. Zhang was stunned again, and then said with a smile, "Miss Xia seems to have great hostility to me."
"Shouldn't it?"
Xia Xi asked.
Now she and Zhang's family are at odds. Mrs. Zhang comes to the door rashly. She doesn't know what she's up to.
Knowing what she thought, Mrs. Zhang didn't care. She said with a smile, "in fact, I came to Miss Xia today to discuss something with you. If this thing is done, I promise that the Xia family and the Zhang family will be harmonious in the future, and the master will never trouble you again."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Mrs. Zhang took a look at the servant girl on her side. The servant girl decided to withdraw and guard at the door of the elegant room.
Picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Xia Xi. Mrs. Zhang asked, "I heard that Miss Xia and Zhang Bao are cousins?"
"Yes, he is my own aunt's child. Somehow, he became a member of your Zhang family."
"Well, I can tell Miss Xia."
"All ears."
Mrs. Zhang tells the story of a romantic affair between master Zhang and Zhang baoniang. Xia Xi's heart is smacking. If you don't say that the people here are conservative, how can.
"My master has been looking forward to having a son. Zhang Bao came down from the sky and made my master very happy. When he heard that he was beaten by you, he immediately decided to take revenge on the Xia family for him, and then there came one after another."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhang's words changed, "however, seeing you today, I don't think the girl is like that. Should it be Zhang Bao who lied?"
"You're right. He did lie..."
Xia Xi does not hide, Zhang Bao dirty mind said to her, "the reason why he wants to start on me, because I got a lot of silver and left, he played a greedy."
Mrs. Zhang nodded, "no wonder."
"What is the purpose of Madame's coming today?"
"Join hands with you to drive Zhang Bao out of the Zhang family!"
Mrs. Zhang's words fell, and the room was quiet.
Xia Xi's rare amazement.
Without waiting for her to ask, Mrs. Zhang said again, "Miss Xia should have heard that the master has five daughters."
Xia Xi nodded, "not bad."
"The eldest daughter and the second daughter were born to me and the master, and the other three were born to my concubine. At that time, I was the concubine that I decided to accept for my master. I intended to wait for them to give birth to their sons and bring them up to me, but they didn't win. Now that I'm old, the master has given up the idea of having a son. I wanted to leave most of my family property to my daughter in a hundred years' time, but I didn't expect that Zhang Bao came out of thin air, which disrupted all my plans. I'm not willing to. I'm fighting with the master. How can I get rid of him? "
"So..."
Xia Xi asked.
Mrs. Zhang said without hesitation, "I will drive him out of the Zhang family!"
Xia Xi didn't speak, and Ya Jian fell silent again.
Mrs. Zhang took a cup of tea, drank it, put it down, and looked at Xia Xi. "I told Miss Xia the purpose of my trip. I just want you to help me."
Xia Xi also picked up the tea cup, drank a few mouthfuls slowly, put it down, "how can I believe you?"
Mrs. Zhang clapped her hands, waiting for the maid outside the elegant room to come in and put a box on the table.
Mrs. Zhang opened it and took out some pieces of paper from it. "These are some houses that I bought privately. The master doesn't know. Now I can send them to Miss Xia to show my sincerity."
Then he put the deed in front of her.
Xia Xi didn't look at it and pushed it back. "My wife wants me to take it. Although my Xia family is not as rich as the Zhang family, I still have some money to buy several houses."
Mrs. Zhang frowned, "Miss Xia won't help?"
"Of course not! But I'll have to think about it. I'll come back this time tomorrow. "
Mrs. Zhang motioned, and the servant girl put the deed back into the box and took it out.
He also stood up, "in that case, I'm waiting for the news of Miss Xia."
"Take your time, madam, and I won't see her out."
....
After Mrs. Zhang got out of the teahouse and got on the sedan chair, her smiling face sank down. Unexpectedly, Xia Xi didn't agree on the spot.
All the way to the door, Mrs. Zhang got out of the sedan chair and walked towards the house. As soon as she got to the door, Zhang Bao came out of the door in a hurry.
Zhang Bao walked so fast that he almost ran into her. He was startled and stood up quickly, "mother."
Mrs. Zhang regained her smile again. "What's the matter, baby, in such a hurry?"
Zhang Bao's eyes dodged, "my mother is ill, I'm in a hurry to see her."
Zhang baoniang bought a house and lived in Qingyun county. Mrs. Zhang had known about it for a long time, but she didn't come to her house and didn't care.
Smell speech way, "that you go quickly, have what need of place to say to mother."
"Thank you, mother."
Zhang Bao finished and hurried out.
When he went away, Mrs. Zhang said, "follow me to have a look. What on earth is he doing?"
....
Into the house, he heard the voice of Master Zhang's anger, Mrs. Zhang frowned and went back to the main courtyard.
After a while, Zhang Bao's servant girl came back and whispered a few words in Mrs. Zhang's ear.
"Seriously?"
The servant girl nodded, "I used the silver. The boy over there told me that he had spoiled two servant girls yesterday. It seems that he is addicted. Today he is in a hurry."
The light flashed in Mrs. Zhang's eyes. She stood up and walked towards the flower hall.
"Waste, all waste!"
Master Zhang was so angry that he gave up fifty thousand taels of silver one night. If this goes on, his family will have to be hollowed out.
"Master..."
Mrs. Zhang raised her foot and went in. "I had a hard time last night and came up with a way."
Master Zhang was overjoyed, "madam, speak quickly."
"Tell the peddlers that they only need to pay 30% of the silver to sell the cloth. When all the money is sold out, they will return the rest of the silver. If they can't sell it out, we can also take back the rest of the cloth."
The manager's eyes lit up. "Master, this is a good idea."
If you pay 30% silver, the dyehouse will certainly lose money, but at least some cheap peddlers won't return it. The warehouse of the dyehouse can't hold any more.
"Just do as your wife says."
Master Zhang ordered.
The steward answered and wanted to turn around and go out.
"Wait!"
Mrs. Zhang stopped him and looked at Master Zhang, "master, bao'er is going to take over the dyeing business in the future. Let him go with the manager."
