Chapter 199 Four Rich Businessmen 52

The second wife became more and more angry as she spoke, and she covered her face and cried: "I didn't expect that I was a mistake in helping to take care of the business, because I was not as useful as my third brother and sister before, and could make money for the family! The housekeeper asked the third brother to hire another one! I would never dare to get involved anymore, and I was not guilty of being charged again!"

The second master of the Xie family helped his wife up and said to Xie Lu with a heartache: "Third brother, I thought you would make the family better after becoming an official, but I didn't expect you to be a great official! You will be charged with your sister-in-law without any discrimination. Do you still think I am your brother?"

Xie Lu defended anxiously: "What is the second brother saying? How could I not think you are your brother? But since the second sister-in-law's housekeeper, there have been rumors everywhere in the house, and the cost in each yard is short of weight. The public account office is so nervous that it is difficult to pay even ten taels of silver. I can trust my second brother to ask my second sister-in-law, otherwise I would ask others to know, and I would probably think that my second brother went to gambling and lost the family's money..."

"Okay, you want to pour dirty water on my head again?! Put away your trick!" Master Xie said angrily, "I'm useless! I can't make money, and I can't say that Master Guan, go! Let's go back! If he has the ability, let him take care of himself!"

After saying that, he pulled Mrs. Xie Er to leave without looking back.

The old lady shouted a few times but couldn't stop it. The noise woke up the sleeping baby in the room again. The crying sounded. The old lady was in a panic and knocked on the crutch on the spot and sighed: "Why are brothers making such a fuss! How come this fuss!..."

Xie Lu also felt wronged, but he didn't think he was wrong.

He always thinks he is a stakeholder.

Xie Lu comforted the old lady: "Don't worry, mom, my second brother is a mystery to the authorities. When I understand the matters at home, my second brother will understand my painstaking efforts."

The old lady said helplessly: "You are all old, I can't control you anymore. I just hope that your family will be harmonious and live this year safely."

Xie Lu comforted him for a while, and the farce ended.

The second house was left with the burden, and the housekeeper Quan naturally returned to Xiangzhi's hands.

Because Xie Lu is famous, he cannot do business with Wanxianglou, but he still has to find a way to make money. Wangyou Pavilion opposite held a feast of celebrities and summoned bigwigs from all walks of life to rescue innocent people in the disaster areas. So Xiangzhi followed suit and started charity fundraising.

But Xike couldn't invite celebrities to come, so she found a lottery. As long as the guests who came to Xike for dinner, they could draw a prize once. The amount of money they would be drawn, and the amount of money they would be donated to the money they would be given.

Most of the lottery tickets are only one or two cents, and a few lottery tickets are higher, and only seven or eight cents are worth it, but they attract many diners.

If Li Lingjing's Wangyou Pavilion is playing in the high-end market, then Xiangzhi's favorites come to play in the market below the top management, making money into the pocket, and earning a good reputation for charity. For a moment, Xie Lu praised Xiangzhi and did not ask about business matters and continued to be his hospitality and carefree gentleman.

With money, Xiangzhi was not only recognized by Xie Lu, but almost all the servants and maids of the Xie family regarded her as their wife. Everyone seemed to think that it would be a matter of time before she became the wife of the third wife.

The only person who was dissatisfied with this was the second wife.

Although the second wife had a bit of a show, she was actually a bit aggrieved.

Because she really didn't get any money from the company, most of the bitterness she vomited to Xie Lu was real, and it was too difficult to make money!

But Xiangzhi made money as soon as she took over the business, so that the second wife's face was very vague.

I felt resentment in my heart, and I often gave Xiangzhi a look at her at home.

Xiangzhi was not angry, and just asked the maid beside her to vent her mouth to the second room, saying that this was Xie Lu's preparation for the future marriage - when the wife got married, she would take over the gift from her aunt, which would naturally be much more legitimate than taking over from her sister-in-law.

The restaurant did not make money before, because Xie Lu ordered the shopkeeper to secretly do something wrong, with the purpose of completely suppressing the second house, so as not to suppress Xie Lu with his brother's identity.

In fact, if you think about these rumors, you will find loopholes.

But people often do this. As long as they say it to their own minds, even if those words cannot withstand scrutiny, they can still fulfill them from all aspects.

From then on, the second house had a small fuss every three days and a big fuss every five days, which made the family mess and Xie Lu was out of face outside!

Occasionally, the conflicts can be eased, but Xiangzhi is provoked from time to time in the middle, and the cracks between the second and third rooms are getting bigger and bigger. Over time, everyone outside knows the grudges of the Xie family.

Due to such a relationship, Xie Lu wanted to remarry, and no one in a family with some reputation would want to marry his daughter into the trap.

Of course, marriage is a story later.

Compared to the bustling Xie family, the people of Shengjing City are more concerned about another major event—

The general who had been waiting for for a long time finally returned to Beijing.

…………

Forget the Worship Pavilion—

At the moment of You, Yao Niang made the final inspection before welcoming the guests.

The girls' makeup, the combination of dishes, the aroma of wine, the smoothness of the floor, the location of the charcoal basin...even the light and darkness of the indoor lights are all within her inspection range.

Everything is foolproof and ensures that every guest has the most comfortable experience.

She asked the girls to retry today's songs. The music was heroic and unrestrained, and the choreography was passionate and beautiful, as if the cold plum blossoms were blooming in the snow. They were both determined and unyielding, and were extremely romantic.

Yao Niang watched it carefully and took a pen to add two red strokes to the girls' eyebrows. The makeup immediately became a bit brighter and cold.

Li Lingjing held the account book and went downstairs. Seeing that they were still rehearsing, she smiled and said, "The General must like it."

"I hope so, alas..." Yao Niang sighed, "It is the honor of Wangyou Pavilion to be able to entertain the general who returns to the court. However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. If such a big man is not well received, he may cause trouble for Wangyou Pavilion."

The girls in rehearsal whispered:

"I heard that the general was strong and could leave when he was born, and he ate meat when he opened his mouth, making his weapons look like a god-general."

"I heard that the cups used by the general are made of iron, and he would break the ordinary porcelain cup with a slight pinch!"

"I heard that he looks like a giant, and his daily tables and chairs are made of special items, and the generals can't sit on ordinary chairs..."

"If the general starts anger, it will be scary."

When Yao Niang heard these discussions, she became more worried and asked Li Lingjing: "Why didn't the court greet the generals, but she didn't hold a banquet in the palace and wanted to come to us? I was very up and down."

Li Lingjing was also helpless, "Shangshu said that the general does not like the red tape in the palace, and..."

Yao Niang asked: "And what?"

Li Lingjing curled her lips and replied, "And the banquets in the palace are all full of tricks every year. They are not innovative enough, but also cost money..."

Yao Niang helped her forehead: "Sir Shangshu, this is to save money."
