Chapter 475: Opening branches in other places

Huo Qinglin's dowry came in carts.

Fortunately, Shen Qing had many cars with large capacity, and the drivers were familiar with the roads in the capital, especially the road to the Huo family.

After filling the car, he whipped the horse and headed for the Huo family. The people behind continued to argue - many things could not be found or were lost. Huo Qinglin was not anxious and asked them to take out things of corresponding value to make up for them.

As soon as Song Shu moved forward to speak, Qiu Yi on the other side dragged her sick body and cried, accused and cursed, with disheveled hair like a shrew. However, she did not get any sympathy from Song Shu, but only a look of disgust on her face.

Huo Qinglin watched coldly.

"Huo Qinglin, are you very proud? Now Song Shu's heart has returned to you? I tell you, you didn't defeat me!

I just lost because of my family background. If your Huo family hadn't been favored by the emperor again, do you think Song Shu would have changed his mind? "Qiu Yi shouted at Huo Qinglin with a swollen face and a ferocious look.

Huo Bing stepped forward and stood in front of her mother.

Huo Qinglin took his daughter's hand and pulled her behind him to protect her. He shot a sharp look at her autumnal features and said in a cold voice, "You don't have a family background, why do you want to compete with me?

Shouldn't you compare yourself to the concubines in Song Shu's backyard who also have no family background?"

Qiu Yi's roaring face froze for a moment, then he said disdainfully, "Why can they compare with me?"

Huo Qinglin's words were no longer cold and indifferent. Instead, they were like sharp blades, each word hitting the nail on the head. "You are a helpless orphan, becoming a maid. Those concubines are also maids and servants, with the same background, so why can't they be compared with you? You say I rely on my family background, but they don't rely on their family background after all, so why are they not good enough in your eyes?"

You used to say I looked down on you, that I'd give you cakes I didn't like, clothes I didn't fit you in, and humiliate you. If you find it humiliating that I've eaten and worn something, why are you okay with the men I've used? You're not even ashamed of it, but proud of it?

I can't control my own husband. Today you have the feeling of autumn, and tomorrow you have the feeling of winter and spring. As a woman, I don't want to make things difficult for you, and I don't want to compete with you for a philandering man, but this doesn't mean that I can't see through you!

You don't need to cry to me now. No matter how miserable you are, I won't sympathize with you. I will just think you deserve it! You don't need to blame me, because you are the least qualified! "

Qiu Yi stood there in a daze, feeling that these words were heavier and more painful than the stick that Song Shu had hit her with!

Huo Qinglin knew her little thoughts?

"Your future life will not be easy. This has nothing to do with anyone. Song Shu is attracted by my family background, but he also likes the youth and beauty of other women. You have no family background and you are no longer young and beautiful. Your beauty has faded and your love has faded. What can you use to compete?

If you don't fight or can't fight, how can you have a good life? "Huo Qinglin continued, his words were heartbreaking.

To win favor by using tricks doesn’t depend on how powerful you are, but on your youth and beauty. Otherwise, if you use the same tricks on an old woman in her seventies or eighties, will the man take the bait and be willing to pay?

It's nothing more than pretending to be ignorant while knowing the truth, enjoying the thought of fighting for him and having girls on both sides!

Qiu Yi shook her head frantically, muttering, "No, no, Song Lang loves me. He doesn't even want you, the eldest daughter of the Huo family, as his legal wife, and is willing to be with me. How could he only be attracted to my looks?"

Shen Qing also shook his head.

A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover. At that time, Huo Qinglin was there, and Song Shu had a secret affair with her personal maid, enjoying the excitement.

Later, the two of them were together every day, but there was no excitement and only jealousy. No one took care of the backyard. The two of them went from talking about love and romance to daily necessities. The cinnabar mole became mosquito blood and the white moonlight became a grain of rice.

Every time someone claims to have an affair because of true love, they will behave themselves after living like a married couple for a few years!

Various interpersonal relationships between relatives and friends, a bunch of troubles in the husband's family, daily necessities, children's academic growth... one by one, deal with them first before talking about true love.

Huo Qinglin said nothing more and only urged Song Shu to gather the dowry as soon as possible so that she could take it away.

A large number of people gathered outside the Song Mansion to watch the excitement. In less than two hours, the news spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, including the scandal of Song Shu's concubine pretending to be pregnant to frame his divorced wife, and Song Shu's plan to reconcile with his ex-wife.

Perhaps some lazy men think that Huo Qinglin should be a faithful wife. Since Song Shu has changed his mind and does not mind her aging and losing her beauty, Huo Qinglin should return to the Song family, whether for the sake of his daughter or to remain faithful to her.

But the vast majority of women and men thought that Huo Qinglin should not go back - husband and wife should support each other and stick together. If Song Shu could abandon Huo Qinglin once, he would do it a second time. What was the point of going back?

This man can't be wanted!

The powerful officials in the capital and the women in the harem were more practical. Song Shu was the hero who reported the Huo family, and he was also a member of the Lingtai prince's faction. Now Lingtai had offended the emperor and lost his favor. The Huo family had a close relationship with Lingyi.

No matter from which perspective, the two families are opposites, and it is a life-or-death relationship. Huo Qinglin's move to take back the dowry is very wise!

No matter the inside or the outside, it’s all complete!

Huo Qinglin didn't care much about other people's speculations. She was more concerned about her dowry and the benefits it would bring.

Yes, she is so materialistic and realistic nowadays, and her mind is only thinking about how to make money!

"Shen Qing, have you seen the peppercorns I brought back? Thirteen sacks of them! These were all collected locally. Do you think they can be used?" She paid the silver, and the villagers were extremely grateful.

With this money, they no longer have to worry about food and new clothes for the New Year.

"By the way, can you help me look at the dowry list again? What can be done with the farmland, the shops, and the fabrics, the jewelry, the antiques, and the paintings? What can be done with them once they're turned into silver?"

Shen Qing didn't refuse and took the dowry list and started to look at it.

You have to say, General Huo is really willing to give up on his daughter!

The dowry was extremely generous, and now that it is coming back, it will definitely be a huge sum of money for the Huo family who are in urgent need of money!

And it is a huge sum of money that can generate money.

After a while, the three of them started discussing in detail.

*

The hot pot shop gradually stabilized, and Shen Qing and Ling Yi's cooperation in opening a branch was put on the agenda.

If you want to open a branch somewhere else, you must conduct an on-site inspection of the location.

In this regard, Jiang Xiangbei is the undisputed candidate!

When you are out, safety is the most important thing. Ling Yi cannot go out casually, but he has the most subordinates, so he immediately assigned a small team of elite men to serve him.

It can not only help but also provide protection.

Shen Qing was very relieved. He gave enough silver and sent people out to expand the territory.

Without Jiang Xiangbei to take charge of the capital, Shen Qing took over and trained Guan Li at the same time - everyone in the family had to be used, and placed in the right position according to their respective talents and specialties, so as to create the greatest value.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, a piece of good news comes!
