Chapter 43 Employers and Employment
"My mother gave it to me."
Lu Jia was blatantly talking nonsense. "My parents used to do business in the capital and knew many high-ranking officials. They gave it to me from high-ranking officials."
She, a person who was almost unable to stand up straight under the pressure of the Zhang family, actually took out the jade pendant of the minister of the dynasty. How could this not make people suspicious?
She naturally expected Qin Zhou to ask.
But this person is not very honest either.
Last time he suddenly appeared in Tanzhou, and when Lu Jia asked him why, he was dishonest.
If he didn't say anything, Lu Jia wouldn't pester him.
Then of course he can't blame her when she doesn't want to say it!
However, Lu Jia still had confidence in him. With the fact that he had saved her from danger several times and the old fatherly look he had after winning money, he could rest assured that he would give this jade to him.
Shen Qingzhou thought he couldn't disturb her, so he thought for a moment: "Since you can lift the Lu family out, why don't you suppress them directly? You can directly suppress them to death, or even drive them out of Tanzhou, so as not to cause harm to them again. Not you.”
"That's too much noise. It's not good for me."
Lu Jia didn't explain too much.
It was inconvenient for Shen Qingzhou to ask again.
She took the jade into her arms: "When will we do it?"
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it." Lu Jia stood up, "Let's eat now. We will act after eating. Don't worry, when the matter is completed, I will definitely give you a generous commission!"
……
Forget it the commission.
He didn't dare to hope.
After finishing this job, it's better to leave quickly.
She was so bold that she used her father's reputation to show off to others. There was nothing she wouldn't dare to do in the future.
However, the traitor Lu Jie was not a good person. Even if he tried to deceive him, it would only be one more fly on a board full of flies, which was harmless.
Shen Qingzhou followed Boss Lu's instructions with peace of mind and went to Fuxingfang.
Lu Jia took a step back and walked over. Because she still has to keep an eye on Zhang Qi.
Jiang also knew about this piece of jade on her body.
Since the Jiang family sent people to Tanzhou to look for her, they would naturally leave some information with the officials at all levels.
No matter who among the three Zhang brothers sees this jade, they will only worship Shen Qingzhou.
Qin Zhou believes that she can directly crush the Zhang family as the Lu family. This method is of course more convenient, but it will expose herself in advance.
Eight months to go.
Lu Ying and Yan Qu's marriage is about to be officially arranged.
As long as you try to avoid exposing yourself before then, the marriage will be successful. Qiuniang, who didn't know the inside story, was a little worried about her actions: "If the news leaks out, won't it cause any trouble?"
Qiuniang knew that she did everything for herself and the Xie family, but it was precisely because of this that she disapproved of Lu Jia's actions.
Not worth it.
But Lu Jia obviously doesn't think so: "What shouldn't come won't come, but what should come will always come. Don't worry."
……
Zhang Qi never expected that the trouble would end up like this because of an inexplicable account book.
Whose interests are harmed by this?
After arriving home, he went back to his room without saying a word. He didn't say anything when Mrs. He came up to undress him.
He said: "Have you figured it all out? I heard that the third child wants to start moving things today?"
"Let him move! Sooner or later he has to move!" Zhang Qi took the tea angrily and took a few sips. He still couldn't suppress his anger. "I want to see how capable they are if they run the business on their own!"
Mr. He said anxiously: "Don't worry about them, just take care of yourself! After the split, we only have three shops left. The Yufeng shop is still a new one, and it's not ready yet! The original contract was signed We can manage those transactions, but after this batch is delivered, we won’t be able to swallow a large amount of food, and those big customers and big merchants will probably run away.”
Mr. He felt so unlucky!
Why hasn't anything gone well for them since what happened to Li Er?
"There's nothing we can do about it," Zhang Qi said, "The matter has come to this, and we can only take it one step at a time."
"You accept your fate, but I don't!" Mrs. He said bitterly, "Our family is still discussing marriage with the He family. Since the third child caused this trouble, the He family has not sent anyone around. If this is really allowed to happen, , if we don’t talk about this marriage, I’m afraid the He family will alienate us in the future!
"How can our Zhang family raise its status in Shawan? Don't even think about taking over from the Su family and becoming the helmsman of the Chamber of Commerce in the future!"
"Then what else can you do?" Zhang Qi was also upset and angry after hearing these, and couldn't help but raise his voice, "Third uncle will come and share the accounts with us when he is free in two days. If there is still room for maneuver, we still have to wait until now. ?”
He said: "You are so confused! The second and third bedrooms are determined that we will not return to their shop, but have you forgotten that there is a shop next door with a good location? Take that shop Come back! If we take back their house and sell it, it will be enough for us to buy another shop!”
Zhang Qi was stunned when he heard this, and then tilted his head: "That makes sense! That damn girl Jia Jie'er coaxed away a shop a while ago. It was a blessing in disguise! If she had the shop in hand, she would give half of it to those two This bastard can now be taken back and owned by me! How wonderful!”
Mrs. He gritted her teeth: "That damn girl not only occupied our house and our shop, she also opposed us on the street, exposed our shortcomings, pointed at my nose and criticized me!
"If it weren't for her, how could the second and third children use this as an excuse to say that the decline in the store's profit is our fault?
"What kind of niece is she? She is just a white-eyed wolf! She is a broom star!
"All the bad luck in the Zhang family is caused by her!
"I will never spare them this time!
"I want to drive them out of Shawan. I want to sell that bitch. I want to sell her to Wanhua Building to pick up guests, so that she can no longer harm us!"
Zhang Qi was also angry: "She has been living with the Zhang family for so many years, but in the end her elbows turned outward, and she went to work as an apprentice in Liu Xiyu's shop and got involved with the widow!
"She clearly knows that we are not going to deal with Hongtai. Isn't this a slap in my uncle's face?
"In this case, even if she does everything right, she will be the one to blame. We can't blame her!"
At this point, he waved his sleeves and pointed to the warehouse: "You immediately take five hundred taels of silver and ask the housekeeper to send it to He's Mansion. Please ask Mr. He to find a way from the county magistrate to save the money that my father left in the county government. Take out the documents donated to Zhaizi Shop and destroy them
"As soon as the matter is completed tomorrow, immediately go to Tanzhou Mansion to contact the Madam of Wanhua Building. Over here, you can take the girl when she goes out and take her directly to Wanhua Building!
"I'm going to see the eldest sister. If she is willing to hand over the house and shop obediently, I won't have to use violence.
"If she doesn't obey, then don't blame me for ignoring brotherly love!"
