Chapter 1532 Principles (2)
Jiang Fangfei was very fast and only took one day to find out the situation of the Qiao surname: "Madam, this wealthy businessman named Qiao Lihao, the full name of this rich businessman named Qiao Lihao, is the largest medicinal material merchant in Hubei Province. He has two sons and four daughters, his eldest son is fifteen years old this year, his younger son is twelve years old. Both children are now in Hubei and have not come to Beijing. However, according to the information I found out, his eldest son has already worked in a shop, and his second son is very naughty and does not like to study."
So the reason why this house was bought to make achievements in the imperial examinations was untenable.
"How is this person's reputation in business?"
Jiang Fangfei said: "Qiao Lihao has a good reputation for the outside world, but he has cheated several businessmen from other places, leaving everyone losing all their money."
It took a while to pry open the mouth of a servant from the Qiao family, so the credibility is relatively high.
Qingshu frowned and said, "What do you think is the purpose of buying a house?"
Jiang Fangfei said: "It must be to try to cling to our family. Mrs., the master is the minister of the Ministry of Revenue and is deeply trusted by the emperor. He has a great say in the Ministry of Revenue. After they have established a relationship with us, if the court wants to purchase medicinal materials, they can buy them directly from his family."
"In addition, madam, you have a good relationship with Duke Zhenguo Mansion and Miss Wu. Can you get along with your line? Are you still worried about not making the money back in the future?"
Qingshu said: "It may not only be that. Yi'an raised more than 600,000 taels of silver, of which 500,000 will be used to purchase various medicines and medicinal materials. This person should also be eyeing this business."
Otherwise, it would be impossible to come to the door so skillfully.
Jiang Fangfei also felt that Qingshu was right, and he said, "There are so many such people, and the wife is just passing it."
Qingshu nodded and said, "This trip to Jiangnan will touch the interests of many people. You have to be optimistic about the portal during this period. You can also let the guards in the mansion patrol day and night and don't let people take advantage of the loopholes."
Jiang Fangfei felt nervous and said quickly: "Don't worry, ma'am, I will definitely guard the house."
Qingshu not only instructed Jiang Fangfei, but also specially called Butler Kong to come and talk about this matter. It was also from this day that the servants in the mansion were restricted from going out casually, nor could they run around in the mansion.
Mrs. Qiao came to the house again, but this time it happened that Tan Jingye was at home.
He used to not interfere with Qingluan's social interaction, but after dealing with the last incident, he began to pay attention: "Qiao family? Why haven't I heard you say it before?"
Qingluan explained the reason, and after saying that, he said with some regret: "The Qiao family is willing to pay 150,000 taels of silver, which is 50,000 taels more than the Hu family. I don't know why my sister didn't agree?"
But Tan Jingye frowned and asked, "Do you know the background of the Qiao family? Also, what is the purpose of their buying this house?"
"I know, the Qiao family is the largest medicinal material merchant in Hubei Province. This time he wanted to buy his sister's house for the imperial examination for his two children."
"What else?"
Qingluan asked strangely: "What else?"
"What is the character of this official Qiao? What is the reputation of doing business?"
Seeing her shaking her head, Tan Jingye said helplessly: "This person is fake to buy a house, but it is real to want to cling to the Fu family."
"Qingluan, you haven't even found out the details of the Qiao family and how dare you tell your elder sister? If something goes wrong, can you bear this responsibility?"
Qingluan smiled and said, "You are thinking too much, just selling a house. You can get along with each other by buying a house. There is no such good thing in this world."
"You know?"
Qingluan looked at her and said, "I'm not stupid, and the other party can't understand this intention. But my sister is the most cautious in her actions, and he can't get along."
Tan Jingye was unhappy and frowned: "Don't do anything like this in the future. If the elder sister knows, it will affect the relationship between the two families."
Qingluan felt that this was nothing, but Tan Jingye didn't want her to give up: "Okay, I'll just listen to you."
The next morning, Qingluan and Tan Jingye were having breakfast when they heard Qingshu invite her over.
Tan Jingye put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "I'll go with you!"
After sending Qingluan to Fu's doorstep, Tan Jingye went to the yamen.
When Qingluan entered the house, Qingshu happened to be feeding her. She sat by the bed and looked at Yaoyao who was eating sweetly and couldn't help but say, "Sister, do you think my daughter can look as good as Yaoyao after she was born?"
It doesn’t matter if a boy is a good person, as long as he looks good, but a girl has an advantage when she is beautiful. Not to mention anything else, she can get two steps to get to the marriage.
Seeing Qingshu looking at her, Qingluan explained: "I asked the doctor from Hechuntang to take his pulse. He said that there is a high probability that my daughter will be born."
To find out about men and women, she spent fifty taels of silver.
Qingshu knew that appearance was a thorn in her heart, and said with a smile: "It will definitely look good. But you just ask the men and women what they do. Does Jingye want a son?"
Qingluan shook her head and said, "No, I want to know whether it's a man or a woman, and it's better to prepare clothes. Look at grandma, I thought you were pregnant with a son, but the clothes I sent this time were all boys' styles."
Qingshu smiled when he heard this: "Not only grandma, but also aunts prepare clothes for boys. But children can wear anything when they are young."
Qingluan said with a smile: "Sister, we Yaoyao is beautiful and we wear everything."
A smile appeared on Qingshu's face: "I invite you here this time to tell you about that official Qiao."
Qingluan's heart was thrilled and she asked, "Sister, is there any problem with the Qiao family?"
Qingshu said: "You should know that Yi'an raised a sum of money, and the big money was used to buy medicinal materials. This person named Qiao bought my house to get Yi'an to buy their medicinal materials. However, this person is dishonest in business and often uses inferior products as good people. Qingluan. Such people should not contact them again in the future."
Qingluan said shamefully: "I'm sorry, sister, I don't know. I think they can make the business so big, and the reputation must be good."
Qingshu also believed that she didn't know, and said earnestly: "The classics and careers are also people who want to go on a career in the officialdom. Now he has just entered the officialdom. When he is out, he will be in real power. Many people want to cling to it. Then you will have to be more careful."
Qingluan hurriedly said, "Sister, I won't give those people a chance."
As soon as he finished the conversation, he heard Kikyo say outside, "Madam, Miss Wu is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yi An opened the curtain and walked in.
When Qingluan saw her, she quickly stood up and said hello.
Yi An nodded, looked at her belly and asked with a smile: "How many months have you been?"
"It's been more than four months."
Yi An shook his head and said, "Qingshu's belly was much smaller than you after more than four months. In this regard, your sister is an expert. She usually gets her scriptures and does not have to suffer when she is born."
Seeing that her attitude was the same as before, Qingluan relaxed: "I can do it. Sister Yi'an, I'll go back first if I have something to do."
Yi An nodded and said, "You have a big belly, you have to be careful on the road."
