Chapter 237
Mother Qiao knew that Mrs. Cui was in a fit of anger, so she couldn't listen to what she said now, so she could only agree with her intentions: "Yes, after the old slave sends the old lady back to the mansion, I will go to the Marquis' mansion."

The carriage fell silent again, and when it came to the gate of Chengguo Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Cui ordered: "Let Cui Er come to see me."

Cui Er is the leader of the secret guard of the Duke's Mansion. He was adopted by Mrs. Cui 30 years ago and respects Mrs. Cui very much.

Mother Qiao's complexion changed slightly, and she asked, "This... old madam, do you need to tell the Duke?"

Mrs. Cui waved her hand, "No need, the people from Cui Erguo's mansion are mine, and I have the right to send him."

Mother Qiao leaned back and said, "This old slave understands."

Mother Qiao sent Mrs. Cui back to Fu'an Hall, and sent someone to call for Cui Er. When Cui Er arrived, Mother Qiao got up and went to Weiyuan Hou's Mansion.

When Mother Qiao arrived at Weiyuanhou's Mansion, the concierge saw her and respectfully let her into the yard.

Mother Qiao went to the living room and waited for a while. Steward Wu of the Hou Mansion came in and saluted with a smile.

Mother Qiao didn't see Mrs. Hou, so she asked, "Is my aunt not in the house?"

Steward Wu bowed, and said apologetically, "Nurse came at an inappropriate time. Tomorrow is the tenth anniversary of our old lady's death. Yesterday, my lady went to Daxiangguo Temple to hold a seven-day enlightenment meeting for my old lady. "

Mother Qiao: "..."

Wu Guanshi leaned forward and said, "Mama came to look for Madam, what is the matter? Is it urgent? If it is urgent, I will send someone to Daxiangguo Temple to report to Madam."

My aunt was doing a blessing meeting for the old wife of my relatives at the Daxiangguo Temple. It is obviously inappropriate to ask my aunt to come to propose marriage at this time.

Mother Qiao thought about it for a while, and said: "It's nothing serious, our old lady misses my aunt, and I want to ask my aunt to go to the house to talk.

Since my aunt has something to do, I will go back and report to the old lady, and I will come to the house to invite my aunt another day. "

Mother Qiao returned to Chengguo's mansion and reported the reason to Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui patted the table heavily, "Don't do things early, don't do things later, but choose to do things in these two days, tell me, what is she doing against the old man?"

Mother Qiao leaned over and said, "Little aunt has always respected the old lady, so she probably wouldn't disobey the old lady!
This time, it should be a coincidence, the old lady needs to think about it.

Moreover, there is no need to rush to propose marriage.It won't be too late to discuss the marriage when my aunt returns from Daxiangguo Temple. "

After hearing Madam Qiao's words, Mrs. Cui's anger dissipated a lot.

Shen Sheng said: "Okay, listen to you. I will wait for a few days, when she comes back from Daxiangguo Temple, and see how she does."

On the other side, Mother Qiao left Hou's mansion, and Guan Wu went to Daxiangguo Temple to find Mrs. Hou.

Mrs. Hou frowned when she heard Guanshi Wu's report.

When Steward Wu stepped down, Mrs. Hou murmured: "Mother is not forgiving, what should I do?"

Nanny Han came up with an idea: "Madam, why don't you go to the palace to find the empress, and ask the empress to help you out?"

Mrs. Hou shook her head, "Forget it, there are already enough troublesome things for the empress, it really shouldn't be bothering the empress with these trivial matters.

I'll think about it again and see how to deal with it! "

Ning Wei looked at a few shops, but the one on the north of Zhongyi Yujie Street asked Yunxing to make an appointment with the landlord. She wanted to meet the landlord in person.

On this day, Yun Xing came back and said: "Miss, my boss has agreed, we will meet at the shop in the north of Yujie Street before today's time."

Ning Wei looked up at the hourglass and said, "It's already noon, let's eat quickly, and go over to have a look after dinner."

After dinner, Ning Wei took Hu Rui and Ruoqing to meet the landlord at the north of Yujie Street.

Zao Hua said: "Miss is satisfied with this shop, the servant girl and Qingzhu will accompany you to see the structure of the shop, and then go to buy some items needed in the shop."

Ning Wei nodded, "Okay, let's go together."

When a group of people went to the shop, the landlord hadn't arrived yet. The middleman in charge of renting the house explained: "The landlord lives in the east of the city, and it's a little far away from here."

Ning Wei looked up at the sky, "It's okay, we came early."

After entering the room, Ruoqing went to find a bench and came over, "Miss, sit down and wait."

Just as Ning Wei sat down, someone came in at the door.

Ning Wei looked up and saw the middleman leading a master and a servant in.

Ning Wei stood up, just about to greet someone, Qing Zhu stepped forward, bent her knees before her and said, "Hello, master."

The person who came was none other than Master Liu Qiliu, the father of Aunt Liu, Qingzhu's former master.

Liu Qi looked at Qingzhu in surprise, and called out tentatively: "Are you Xiaoling?"

Qingzhu leaned back and replied: "Yes, it is the servant girl. This is the servant girl's new owner, Miss Ning."

After Qingzhu finished speaking, she turned to Ning Wei and said, "Miss, this is Master Liu, the servant's previous boss."

Ning Wei knew in her heart that this was Aunt Liu's father, and Fushen said, "Master Liu is good."

Liu Qichao bowed his hands to Ning Wei to return the gift, "Hi Miss Ning."

Ning Wei knew that before Zhao Yongqing died, he not only tortured Aunt Liu, but also ordered Liu's family to be punished.

Aunt Liu's younger brother, Liu Erlang, was beaten and disabled. After Aunt Liu left, Aunt Liu's mother He Shi also fell ill and is now bedridden.

Master Liu sighed and said: "Miss Ning, to be honest, in the next family, apart from the house where I live, there is only this shop left, and the whole family counts on this shop for their livelihood.

There are also two patients in the family who are constantly taking soup and medicine.Although this shop is not big, it is good for its location.

How about this, Ms. Ning sincerely rents this shop, and we are also predestined to be Xiaoling's current owner, so let me give you one year's rent, Miss Ning will give you one thousand and two, how about it? "

Ning Wei was soft-hearted, knowing the situation of the Liu family, she wanted to rent the shop at the original price, but unexpectedly Mr. Liu dropped 300 taels of silver.

Ning Wei bowed to Master Liu, "Thank you, then do as Master Liu says."

After finishing speaking, Ning Wei turned to look at the middleman, "Can you help us draw up a lease contract?"

The middleman nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay."

Ning Wei looked at Master Liu and asked, "Is Master Liu still doing business?"

Liu Qi sighed, shook his head and said: "The Zhao family has said hello, but no one is willing to approve the goods to us. Without the source of goods, the business will not be possible."

Ning Wei then asked: "Master Liu has been in the business for decades, and he has all the experience, so he didn't look for work outside?"

Liu Qi smiled wryly, shook his head and said: "The Zhao family let us go, whoever dares to use us is an enemy of the Zhao family. In this way, who dares to use us? We can't cause trouble for others, can we?"

Simply deceiving!
Ning Wei said: "I have some business in hand, and now I need manpower, is Master Liu willing to come and help?"

Liu Qi's eyes lit up, then dimmed, "Forget it, it's not good to cause trouble for Miss Ning then."

Liu Qi was jealous of Zhao's family, so she didn't dare to agree casually.
