Chapter 364 365. Home
Seeing that Xiao Shiyu had even prepared the visiting card, Jin Qianqian knew that they were anxious.
She didn't think of avoiding them, and the next day she asked the doorman to take them to the side hall.
As soon as they met, Xiao Shiyu didn't dare to act like before, relying on Minister Huang's face. When she saw Jin Qianqian coming in, she immediately stood up and bowed.
"Please take a seat," Jin Qianqian went to the main seat, "I wonder why Miss Huang is so anxious to see me, what's the matter?"
"Madam Gu, I was deceived by my concubine sister before, which is why I offended her. I hope you can show some mercy and stop targeting us mother and daughter."
Jin Qianqian picked up the tea and took two sips. "Madam Huang, this is a bit unpleasant to hear. When has this lady ever targeted you?"
"Then why did the lady open those shops next to ours?"
Jin Qianqian, "I am a royal merchant, so it is normal for me to do business. I have finally acquired some property in the capital. How can you say that I am targeting you?"
"Then why is it that every new shop that opens sells exactly the same things as my dowry shop?"
Seeing that Jin Qianqian still refused to admit it, Xiao Shiyu became anxious. She didn't care about the words she had said before and stood up and asked quickly.
Jin Qianqian said calmly, "There is no rule in this world that if you can do a business, others can't.
If your business is not as good as others, you should reflect on yourself and see where you are not doing well, instead of being so impatient and looking for trouble with others. "
"You..." Xiao Shiyu thought of her mother's instructions before she came out, and suppressed her anger, "I know that some of my previous actions made you very uncomfortable, I sincerely apologize to you here, I'm sorry.
But I have learned the lesson I deserve, so please show some mercy, Madam."
Jin Qianqian, "Mrs. Huang is so unreasonable. In this world, you can do business that others can't. What do you mean by saying this now?"
"Could you please close those storefronts?"
"Oh," Jin Qianqian looked at her like she was a fool, "I spent all that money, and now business is booming, and you want me to close the shop and let you do that?
What? Just because you have a father-in-law who is the Minister of Justice, you can do whatever you want?"
"Don't ask me to explain so much. Just tell me whether you agree or not."
Jin Qianqian shook her head. "I am an imperial merchant. Do you think I would do business at a loss?"
"Do you just want to offend my Huang Mansion?" Xiao Shiyu knew that this man would not make sense, so he simply threatened him with the Shangshu Mansion.
"Can you represent the entire Huang Mansion?" Jin Qianqian picked up the visiting card thrown on the table, "It seems that the Huang Mansion is still headed by the eldest lady. You are a young wife with no class and no rank. You are not afraid of biting your tongue when you say such big words."
A trace of guilt flashed through Xiao Shiyu's heart. She knew that these visiting cards were stamped with extra stamps when she took out the seal before.
Last time, not only did the eldest aunt get angry about this incident, but even the old man pointed at their second branch and lectured them for a long time.
Jin Qianqian picked up the teacup and said, "For Madam Huang's sake, I'm giving you a piece of advice. If you want to minimize your losses, you should sell the shop as soon as possible."
Seeing Jin Qianqian serving tea to the guests, Li Qiu, who was originally serving beside them, immediately came over and said, "Madam Huang, please come in!"
Xiao Shiyu glared at Jin Qianqian fiercely, "Madam Gu, do you really want to do this?"
Seeing that she was still pestering him, Jin Qianqian put the cup heavily on the table and said, "When you three were plotting against me, you should have thought of a way out for yourself.
These shops are just teaching you a lesson. If you want to continue to confront me, I will fight you to the end."
“…”
Xiao Shiyu was asked to leave the ancient mansion in a daze and could only walk back angrily.
As soon as I entered the house, Tian Lanfen was waiting there, "How is it? Will she stop?"
Xiao Shiyu shook her head. "She asked us to close the shop, saying it would reduce losses."
"If we had known it was such an evil star, we would not have provoked it. It seems that we will really lose a lot of money this time." Tian Lanfen was born a businesswoman, and she also knew that this was the only way to stop the loss in time.
Xiao Shiyu, "Why? How much will we lose if so many shops close? If it really doesn't work, we can also hold a promotion, where we can give as many gifts as you buy, and see who squeezes out who?"
Tian Lanfen, "This won't work. If she really goes against us, no matter what you come up with, she will always be able to deal with you. Listen to mother, let's close these shops, and then buy a few farms."
Xiao Shiyu, "How can this be the same? I can't swallow this. I was born a refugee, so why do you step on my head?"
"Hey, kid, why don't you listen? The accumulation of several generations of our Tian family is not as good as their achievements in the past two years.
Besides, she was an imperial merchant, and Gu Wenheng was already a fifth-rank doctor, so we were too arrogant at the time."
If I had invited them politely and spoken kindly to them at that time, the situation might be different now.
It's too late to think about these things now. I just hope to save as much as possible.
Xiao Shiyu, "Mom, why did you insist on marrying me here? This Shangshu Mansion sounds good, but the eldest wife is the boss. After a few more years, the two wives will separate. With my current father-in-law's ability, I will only be reduced to an ordinary rich and idle person.
Even now we still live together, and even a sixth-rank doctor doesn’t take us seriously.”
"..." Tian Lanfen was extremely regretful. Her son-in-law had made no progress in the past two years. "Why don't you go and ask the old lady for help? I believe that with her help, the man surnamed Jin will have to close the door and leave."
"Yes, I'll go find the old lady," Xiao Shiyu straightened up immediately, "My dowry is also the foundation of his descendants, so she has to help."

"I guess beating the younger ones this time will attract the older ones." Jin Qianqian told Gu Wenheng what happened today.
Gu Wenheng said nonchalantly, “If this had just entered the officialdom before, we would have naturally avoided it, but now you just keep making trouble.
What's more, they were the ones who provoked us first. If we don't fight back, it would seem that we were the ones who were scared first."
Jin Qianqian, "...Aren't you afraid that the Huang family will make things difficult for you in the officialdom?"
"He won't," Gu Wenheng answered confidently, "Like when the Imperial Household Department was raided before, His Majesty did not go through the Ministry of Justice, which in itself sent a signal that His Majesty did not trust these old ministers that much.
In addition, all departments have found some problems in the account books, and they have been busy for a long time to hold people accountable and make up for the loopholes. It is impossible for them to make another enemy for such trivial matters in the back house at this time. "
Gu Wenheng said this and tapped her forehead, "I don't believe you don't have a trick up your sleeve. Maybe you're still waiting for someone to take action?"
Jin Qianqian flipped through a record book with a smug look on her face, "These days, the people below are no pushovers either."
