In the moonlight, the chamber of commerce is about to start meeting again.

The men sat together, waiting for Mrs. Cui from the Yushao porcelain workshop to come and condemn her for the obstruction of the road.

Early on, the men arrived one after another, and discussed the words one by one to threaten Mrs. Cui to let go. But the real master Mrs. Cui couldn't wait, and could not wait on the right.

Mr. He was anxious and ordered his servant to go to the jade pottery shop to ask.

As a result, the servant went around and found that the wife was not on the pavilion. And in the house on North Street. When he went again, the door of North Street opened a crack and a black-faced woman poked out and said with a long face: "Our lady said that it is inconvenient for all the masters to talk to the woman, so she won't make things boring. Today, the wife is unhappy. Please don't disturb me!"

When the servant was so sad and pale, he heard the words back to the chamber hall, and the masters looked at each other first, then blew his beard and stared at him and cursed, saying that the woman from the Cui family was really unauthentic. How did her family discipline her wife on fairness? She just let her be so arrogant and rude, and offended her fellow travelers?

But after cursing, the men were still at a loss for how to solve the problem of large-scale clay transportation.

There were still a few ships to be used in the past few days. But recently the water department had some trouble, so it actually redirected the remaining ships. Seeing that the porcelain kiln had broken the raw materials and the fire was stopped, He Erye's voice was all up.

The errands that led the royal imperial offering were enviable, but if something went wrong, it would be a serious crime to lose one's head!

He Zhen sat aside and listened silently, knowing in his heart that it was Mrs. Cui who had neglected her last time by her father and others, so she wanted to take revenge!

Since this is the case, they must have softened their attitude and beg for the shortcut to let the clay pass through Shuangling Village.

But asking my father to bow his head was really too detrimental to the He family's business. Miss He San naturally had to mediate for her father.

So the next day, Miss He San prepared a box of ginseng, plus bird's nests in Nanyang and several large boxes of honey fruits to visit Mrs. Cui's house on North Street.

This time, the black-faced door god Li's mother opened the door. Since He Zhen entered the door, she smiled and looked at Lady Liu, who was half lying on the bed and wrapped her forehead around her forehead, just like a sister she had met for many years, holding her hand and asking about her well-being.

"Mrs. Cui, I haven't seen each other for a few days, why is she so sick?" Miss He San asked with a sad face.

Mian Tang was lying in a slouching manner, but he was really sick. He sighed and said, "I have been sick for many years, and I will have a headache if I don't get it done. For this disease, I spent a lot of money in the capital and almost ruined my husband's family. Fortunately, I met a good doctor and prescribed a prescription for me. But the medicinal materials have to be bothered. I have to choose a place with a plump water and grass, stay away from the hustle and bustle of cars and horses, and keep it carefully to preserve the effect of the medicine. It's also my life should not be lost. I bought a good land a few days ago, and I just waited to plant the medicinal materials to prolong my life... Third Miss, you took the time to see me in your busy schedule, which was really troublesome!"

He Zhen only forced a little smile when she heard this, but she looked a little ugly. She didn't expect that she had just exchanged a greeting or two, and that Miss Liu actually blocked all the talk!

According to Mrs. Liu's meaning, the land in Shuangling Village is used to grow life-saving herbs, so what else is needed to stay away from the hustle and bustle of cars and horses. The implication is that if anyone passes there, it will be a murder of Mrs. Liu's life?

So when Liu Miantang talked about the pain of being sick and asked He Zhen considerately what else she had to do here, even the eloquent girl He San was a little careful and couldn't talk.

But the emperor's errands were delayed, and the lives of the old and young people of the He family were tied to this place. It was really impossible to delay. He could only start with a tough bullet and said, "Mrs. Cui, you should also know that the canal is now being dug and the ships have been requisitioned. It is really a headache to not supply clay in the porcelain workshops in our town. But I heard that your house has transported a lot of clay. If it is convenient, can you even give the He family business to solve the urgent problem?"

When Mian Tang heard this, he frowned slightly in embarrassment and said, "If Miss He asks for anything else, it will make it difficult for me to ask for this alone. To be honest, our Yushao Porcelain Factory has also received a big order recently, using clay. If we give it to you evenly, our order cannot meet the construction period. Wouldn't it ruin the name that my Yushao Porcelain Factory finally established?"

He Zhen had expected that she would refuse and hurriedly said, "It's easy to discuss the price, we'll just offer a high price."

This lady Liu obviously wants a rare item to be accustomed to her, so it would be better to follow her wishes and solve the He family's urgent needs first.

Anyway, as long as the canal is built next year, the waterway will be restored, and there will be more ships, so Miss Liu has nowhere to grasp people.

But one thing is that their He family is rich and can withstand this level, but other shops may not be able to make too much money to buy the high-priced clay of the Cui family.

The Cui family's amazing goods are so rare that they can indeed make some money, but they have completely offended all other merchants in Lingquan Town. Let's see how her family will gain a foothold in Lingquan Town in the future!

So no matter how high Liu Miantang was, she agreed with all her strength. She would defeat the reputation of the Cui family if she gave up money. She would drive the family from the foreign country out of Lingquan Town without any blood!

When Liu Miantang heard Miss He San ask for a high price to buy clay, he smiled and said, "Look at what Miss San said, my husband has studied. How can we, the Cui family, be so pursuing profit and forgetting our righteousness? How can we be so mean to make money from the villagers? Besides, our family sells porcelain, but we don't want to change our career to sell clay!"

When Miss He San heard this, she was a little confused about the pulse of Miss Liu.

She sat for nearly half a day and was worn out, and finally Liu Miantang spit out: "Actually, we need to earn more money on our Cui family shop, but those life-saving medicines can be bought from other places... But the orders we received on the shop are too small. If we can take on some emperor's fault like your He family or other shopkeepers..."

When He Zhen heard this, he understood what Liu Miantang meant. It turned out that she was actually a rampant person and wanted to eat the fat meat offered by the royal family!

Since both sides made it clear, everything was easy to handle. Miss He San said that this matter was very important and needed to go back and discuss with her father.

Despite her weakness, Miss Liu personally sent Miss He San to the door and kindly instructed her to discuss with Mr. He Er, otherwise if the seedlings in her Shuangling Medicine Field would grow older, she would be reluctant to pull out the road and open the traffic.

When He Zhen told his father this, He Erye was so angry that he slapped the table again, saying that the Cui family had such a big face and had to take over the imperial offering without looking at what foundation he had!

But He Zhen persuaded He Erye, saying that since Liu Miantang was willing to earn imperial silver, she would make a profit. Moreover, the coloring skills in the jade-stove porcelain workshop were really good. If they could be used for the He family, wouldn’t the He family be more powerful?

Mr. He understood the meaning of his daughter. Anyway, the porcelain ornaments contracted by the He family would eventually be named as the He family's business. No matter how capable Liu Miantang is, she is just a little foal for the He family's mission. After finishing her busy work, the emperor's wedding and imperial offerings will be the first priority, and it will not be too late to find a way to deal with the Yushao porcelain workshop.

Mr. He knew that his daughter was scheming and was more considerate than him. For the sake of his plan, he could only invite the girl named Liu to join the group and overcome the difficulties before he could talk about it.

So the monthly chamber of commerce gathering in Lingquan Town broke the convention this time and gathered again on the second day after Miss He San visited Miss Liu.

This time, Miss Liu came, but she was one hour late.

When Mrs. Liu entered the door, she apologized repeatedly, saying that there were many troubles in women's homes and that it took a lot of time to dress up her head and face, which made you wait for a long time.

The men of the Chamber of Commerce all greeted each other with a smile, saying that Mrs. Cui values ​​the colleagues of the Chamber of Commerce and is dressed up carefully, and it should be!

So the colleagues in Lingquan Town discussed with each other another matter of distribution of the emperor.

The most profitable piece of fine porcelain coloring is attributed to the name of the Yushao porcelain workshop. This piece of fat meat was originally exclusive to the He family, so He Erye was naturally unwilling to give it up. However, the other soup, Mrs. Liu looked down on him, so he only asked for this piece.

Seeing that Liu Miantang did not like their soup, the other shopkeepers naturally breathed a long sigh of relief, and even helped Lady Liu persuade Mr. He to let go.

He Erye was so angry that his face turned pale. If his daughter He Zhen hadn't been stomping on his feet under the table, he would have had an attack at that time.

Finally, after the He family cut the meat, Liu Miantang naturally felt relieved. He first talked about his condition with grief, and then sincerely expressed that for everyone in Lingquan Town, she was even loyal to the emperor. Even if she pulled out life-saving herbs and delayed her condition, she would do whatever she could.

Mrs. Liu was charming, and she hadn't left the house these days, so the finest powder also wiped her face white. Her frowning and delicate appearance made people accidentally. She really believed that she wanted to be jealous of her beauty and her life would be in the near future!

The men said it so hard that they nodded repeatedly, and sincerely thanked Mrs. Liu for her broad mind that she knew the overall situation and took into account the overall situation.

But Mr. He was cursing in his heart, what kind of shit herbs? He sent someone to see it. It was obviously cabbage and green onions all over the place! What kind of terminal illness can it cure?

After the discussion was over, Mrs. Liu also received the fixed amount for the emperor's offering in advance. The fixed amount for this batch of colored porcelain lists was 800 taels of silver notes. If all of them were rushed to be made, half of the money could be taken.

Mrs. Liu didn't know how much money the emperor offered before. When she held the thick silver notes in her hand, she understood why the shopkeepers used to swear so much at the He family. The profits in it really make people jealous!

Not to mention the jade-shao porcelain shop, the trench was full of ditches, and Cui Xingzhou in the military camp heard about the recent rush of work of the Water Department, finally relaxed his face with satisfaction and waved his hand to the report official to go down.

But the official still had something to report to the prince, so he asked carefully: "Prince, you ordered all ships in the county to be consecrated in a hundred miles. Now that most of the fortifications have been completed, can those ships be discharged from corvee service?"

In fact, the Water Department didn't have to call for fishing boats so urgently. As for why he acted like this, Cui Jiu didn't think too carefully at that time, but his mind flashed through the empty hole under the bed in the North Street courtyard. He then thought of it and made some sense of kindness to make it easier for the little woman who was preparing to buy money for the road.

For him, he didn't take this seriously afterwards. Now, when he heard the official mention it, he suddenly remembered this, and he didn't know how the matter of Miss Liu was going.

However, the recruitment of fishing boats has indeed affected people's livelihood for too long, so the King of Huaiyang waved his hand and said that the corvee service of some ships could be lifted.

However, in his spare time, when he went to North Street for dinner, he learned from Miantang that she had successfully blackmailed her.

But when he heard that Liu Miantang had taken over the affairs of the He family, he frowned slightly.

To be honest, I bought the store just to stabilize her mind. Unexpectedly, in more than a month, she actually made her slap in the stall bigger and bigger.

"You act like this, aren't you afraid that the He family's business will tamper with the porcelain in your shop and use the name to cure you?"

After hearing this, Mian Tang smiled sweetly, "My husband is very thoughtful, but our shops are actually for wedding dresses and they all support the He family's business names. So if he wants to tamper with porcelain, what is ruined is his own name. How can he not be implicated? Now, we just have a foothold in North Street and have to manage it well, so we have to let our husband's shop bend to others. But one day, the name of our shop will be printed on the porcelain offered by the royal royal family!"

Miantang made a bold statement, and Cui Xingzhou smiled slightly: "If you like it, do it with all your heart, it's just not for me, but for yourself, you must operate steadily, which can be considered as earning yourself an industry."

After all, after the matter was done, the shop and the house would be given to her. If Miss Liu manages well, she will benefit herself.

Cui Xingzhou rarely teaches people so leisurely, but Miantang heard that his husband was encouraging him to do things boldly.

With such trust from her husband, she couldn't help but have bright eyes again and looked at him like Qiu Shui.

Cui Xingzhou was used to her looking at him like this, and took a chopstick of fish and put it into her bowl: "Hurry up and eat, didn't you say you would go back to the shop to check the porcelain delivered later?"

Miantang also felt that his eyes were too arrogant and did not conform to his virtuous wife's virtue, so he couldn't help but smile playfully and then quickly had a meal.

She really wanted to go out after a while, but when she saw her husband come back, she thought about having dinner with him, which delayed her efforts.

After Miantang finished his meal, he rinsed his mouth with bamboo salt, and then he cleaned up and stopped as he was about to go out.

Cui Xingzhou happened to go out too. In addition to eating Li's mother's meals, the most important thing he came to Lingquan Town today was to pay a visit to a senior official who had retired and returned home, so he also went out together as he looked at Shichen.

The prince's carriage was about to pass by the Yushao Porcelain Shop. Cui Jiu hesitated for a moment and felt that since it was going well, it was not good for her to care about her, so he asked Miantang to get on the car together.

Miantang was out with his husband for the first time, and he felt sweet and sat beside Cui Jiu in a proper manner, feeling that the carriage was filled with the faint smell of bamboo on his husband.

When the carriage drove out from the intersection of North Street, the people who had lunch break had not yet returned, and it seemed a little deserted. The carriage slowly moved along the stone road towards the direction of the porcelain shop.

But when they turned to a secluded street intersection, several burly men suddenly jumped off the high walls on both sides of the road. Two of them stepped forward and held the carriageman's neck.

The other few stand at the entrance of the alley and look at the whistle and take the wind, and divide the work in an orderly manner, and they are experts in the way of robbing the way.

One of them pulled off the curtain, and didn't even look at Cui Xingzhou. He held a sharp sword and pointed it at Liu Miantang's throat. He said sinisterly: "Miss Liu, you left when you left, but why did you secretly hide the money that the young master had finally raised? Now that the accountant has made a mistake, the young master has explained that as long as you are willing to return, he will not blame him!"

This was so stupid that Liu Miantang was confused when he heard it, and he only raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is your young master? What did I take? Did you recognize the wrong person?"

When the big man saw that Liu Miantang refused to admit his account, he just sneered twice, too lazy to talk nonsense, and just wanted to pull Liu Miantang off the carriage and tie it up.

As for the man sitting beside Liu Miantang, he didn't even look at it. Yunniang told them in advance that Miss Liu is now married to a businessman, a man who looks like an embroidered pillow, and a lazy playboy. It's probably this. A businessman will naturally be even more jealous of his life. If he dares to move, he will immediately poke a hole in his body!

But just when his hand was barely touching Liu Miantang, the man who looked like an embroidered pillow next to her spoke casually: "I wonder how much money she has taken you? I'll just pay it for her."

The leading man was about to laugh when he heard this. He raised his eyebrows and said viciously: "You can get back the thirty million taels of snowflakes and silver? Let me get out of the way!"

As he said that, he pulled the sword in his hand and wanted to scratch the face of the embroidered pillow.

But as soon as the man's wrist stretched forward, the white-faced man who was eating softly actually stretched out his fingers and clamped the thin sword body. Then, a skillful force who used force to pull the man into the carriage.

Liu Miantang had just touched a pair of copper bells placed by her mother Li on the side of her hand early in the morning. This bell was sent by the miracle doctor Zhao Quan, so that she could hold it when she was free and rebuild her wrists and bones.

Now this pair of bells came in handy, she only raised them high, and took advantage of Cui Xingzhou's time to pull the man in, and hit the top of his head in two seconds.

Miantang's skill in identifying acupoints was very accurate. Although his hands were not strong enough, it was enough to make the big man roll his eyes and faint.

This is the first time Cui Xingzhou has seen her beat someone with his own eyes. He is indeed looking at the soft but the acupoints are ruthless.

At this moment, there were constant fighting outside the carriage. Just as Miantang leaned his head to see what happened, his neck sank and his eyes fainted.
To be continued...
