"Sister, it's already half the afternoon, why are you still dressing up?"
Wu Xiuqing, the fierce second daughter of the Wu family, came to see her sister again. In fact, she came to see if she could meet the bad brother-in-law? Somehow, I actually liked playing with that bad brother-in-law in my heart. I felt extremely relaxed and comfortable being with him.
Wu Xiuting's pretty face was slightly red. Who could have imagined that a county magistrate who was going to take office tomorrow would sneak into her bed at night and work on it for so long. Let yourself show off so much shamelessly... Bah, if you follow him, you are a bad example!
"I was tired from accounting last night and fell asleep. Little sister, why don't you come over and help me? The white sugar frosting business is getting better and better now. I want to list a few more shops so that they can all sell white sugar frosting. Sugar frosting!”
The more Wu Xiuting talked about it, the more she felt that Chu Feng was treating her well, leaving such a good business to her to take care of.
"I'm still young, and I don't want to take care of any business. By the way, my mother said that when you start a business, don't think about growing it quickly. That will only attract the jealousy of many people. Sister, that white sugar frosting Business, then you’d better not open so many shops, otherwise you will be targeted by some noble people..."
Before Wu Xiuqing finished speaking, Wu Xiuting smiled and said softly: "Our father is now the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and is considered a first-class official in Daliang Kingdom. Do we need to be afraid of someone taking over our business?"
"Sister, as you said, the exquisite salt business used to be the business of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, but what about now? Sister, do you think the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is not as powerful as our father?"
Qing'er pouted, looking like a young adult, which made Wu Xiuting cautious. Yes, refined salt is a big business, and it has higher profits and stronger purchasing power, but it is still dedicated to the Queen!
That bad guy Chu Feng also said that making a fortune silently is the highest level of business!
Forget it, the Nu family should worry less about business matters. Anyway, making money is the best, so the bad guys will definitely not come tonight.
How about we clean up our house and quietly go to Shanglin County to find him?
As soon as she thought of this, Wu Xiuting's mind was shaken. What happened to her? How can you be so unruly as a woman?
He is just a widow, and has nothing to do with him on the surface. Even my parents consciously or unconsciously reminded themselves to pay attention to their reputation! If he was caught red-handed regarding his affairs, his future would be completely ruined!
Even in His Majesty's anger, his own father will be implicated!
What Wu Xiuting never expected was that the matter between her and Chu Feng had been quietly spread in the capital: "Hey, have you heard? Mr. Chu Xiaohou has become the magistrate of Lin County! Now the people in Shanglin County The common people are saved."
"Bah, he's just a playboy who plays with women. Do you really think he can save Shanglin County? Those charity funds have long been embezzled by his family, and he often has private meetings with the owner of Jinxiu Pawnshop! Playing tricks Little widow, what kind of good person can he be?”
"Isn't that right? That boy used to go to a brothel. I heard that a good husband who was close to him was given to his cousin. Do you think that if that boy is a person worthy of being entrusted, can his cousin get it? I heard that the owner of the Jinxiu Pawn Shop was a young widow. He relied on his father's prowess to use a cabinet of bamboo slips to say it was a priceless treasure, and then extorted more than a thousand gold cakes from her. It seems that from then on, the young widow To obey him, alas, what a coercion and inducement!”
Following these true and false rumors, Wu Xiuting and Chu Feng's affairs quickly spread in the capital.
Chu Feng is still busy in Shanglin County. During the day, I took Shuang'er, along with Wu Xian Cheng and Zhang Baotou, to look around Shanglin County, euphemistically saying that they were familiar with the topography of Shanglin County and made a good plan for future development.
But in the eyes of Wu County Cheng and others, Chu Feng took the opportunity to check on the beautiful women in Shanglin County and prepare for his future misdeeds!
At night, many squires came to visit, and even many old men from the common people. In order to understand the people's sentiments and the initial scene of the black soil, Chu Feng had to patiently receive them.
Of course, Chu Feng still has to take time to go to Chujiazhuang to guide the new construction work. He also took the opportunity to kiss Yue'er, Xue'er and the others on their little mouths. Occasionally, the well-behaved Ling'er would lie limply in his arms with a blushing face.
Chu Feng went to check on the five hundred officers and soldiers in Shanglin County. However, he was a little disappointed. There were no five hundred officers and soldiers at all, just old, weak, sick and disabled veterans. Some capable soldiers had already run away! Or maybe he could find some connections and transfer him away.
Chu Feng, who was so busy, had no time to hear the rumors in the capital.
But Princess Zhaoyang heard it. According to her previous temper, she had already rushed to Shanglin County with her sword in hand. But this time she found the queen mother very cautiously.
"Zhaoyang, it seems that someone is whispering in your ears, right? That boy Chu Feng actually had an affair with a widow. Zhaoyang, what do you think?"
Queen Changsun asked softly while drinking tea.
"My daughter really wants to ask him."
Princess Zhaoyang told the truth, but she did not hide the anger in her eyes.
"Ask him what can you do? If he admits it, can you still terminate the engagement with him or kill him with a sword?"
Queen Changsun asked softly, with an indescribable calmness and nobility.
"Then...that daughter can't swallow this! She hooked up with other women before she got married, she..."
The more Princess Zhaoyang talked, the more aggrieved she became, and finally she cried in her mother's arms. She finally felt that the bad guy Chu Feng was worthy of being her consort, but now he was having an affair with another woman!
"Oh, silly daughter, last time you came back, you told your mother so happily that Chu Feng was talented and superb in cooking. He was also considerate to you and made you rolls carefully. Let the legitimate daughter of the Situ family, and Your cousin is envious of you. Why are you crying now?"
Empress Changsun put down her teacup and said with a smile.
"That's different! Chu Feng is Hao'er's consort, and he belongs to Hao'er alone. Now he is going to be separated by another woman, and my daughter is very angry."
Princess Zhaoyang wiped away her tears and said angrily.
"Have you sent someone to investigate the owner of the Jinxiu Pawn Shop?"
Queen Changsun suddenly became serious.
"No! I only know that she is a widow, and Chu Feng did it because of coercion and inducement."
Princess Zhaoyang suddenly felt that things were not that simple, and her voice became softer.
"You, you are a noble princess, and you should have complete control over everything you do. This Jinxiu Pawnshop is not an ordinary pawnshop, but the largest pawnshop in the capital! And this owner is not an ordinary widow, but a householder. The legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Ministry."
"Could it be that Chu Feng is interested in other people's money?"
"Hmph, this kid is very greedy. He has set his sights on other people's people, wealth, and the father behind them! This Wu Xiuting is not simple. She is both civil and military. She travels among many high-ranking officials and can even get on the path of Duke Wei. She Originally, my husband's family was one of the major wealthy businessmen in the capital, but now my father-in-law and brother-in-law were forced back to their hometown in Taiyuan by her."
"Ah! So powerful, does she have an ulterior motive for approaching Chu Feng?"
Princess Zhaoyang couldn't help but worry again.
