MTL - Fight the Giants-Chapter 833 own countermeasures
Huo Xi didn't even bother to **** the goods Jun's shipped outside the customs.
It's just a small trick to make them delay the delivery date and grab their order.
Jun's caravan came back and reported the missing goods to Mrs. Jun in detail. He even described the other party's clothing, appearance, and which tribe in Xifan they suspected to be.
But as soon as Aunt Jun asked the question, Mrs. Jun subconsciously kept it a secret.
Anyway, the goods can’t be recovered. It is almost impossible to recover it from Xifan, just like sinking into the sea. It's better to put the matter on Mu Yan and his wife, maybe they can get it back.
"Daughter, you have to decide this matter for your family, and you have to talk to the Duke of the country. This batch of goods can be worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and because of this, we lost the order with the nobles of the Western Regions, and the loss was huge. .In the next few years, you may not be able to coax the nobles back there. This is a loss of more than a few million taels."
Can point a little more, why not?
It is best to let Qian Guogong transfer all the property in Mu Yan's hands to their Jun family as compensation.
Within a few days, Huo Xi discovered that in the mansion, she and her subordinates were being taken care of everywhere in the mansion.
Since the father-in-law of the country went back to ask about it once, her and the maids' work ratios are back to normal. But now, although they can receive it, it is their turn that others will pick and choose everything.
Arguing with the steward, they also said that the people in their big house picked on them, mocked them as coming from the capital, and looked down on things in small places everywhere.
The girls didn't make a fuss because of Huo Xi's reputation.
As a result, it was not right to go to the kitchen to get meals. Either cold, leftover, or all vegetarian. Even if they went early, they didn't do a good job. They only asked you to wait until the whole family's meals were finished, and it wasn't their turn.
Mu Yan and Huo Xi have a small kitchen, but the maids and guards don't. They still eat meals cooked in the big kitchen in the mansion.
The next step is to go out. No one dared to stop Huo Xi when she went out, but when the people below went out, they had to check the cards and ask for various interrogations.
Annoy Huo Xi. I also know that Aunt Jun is targeting her room.
In the flower hall in the backyard, Jin, Bai, Duan and Aunt Fang played leaf cards. Speaking of Jun's cloth shop selling at a discount.
"I heard that it's cheaper. Two days ago, I asked my servants to buy a few horses and come back to make spring clothes."
The Jin family only gave birth to a daughter, Mu Jing, and now even if the Duke does not enter her room, she will not worry. Her daughter is the emperor's daughter-in-law, Concubine Zhao Wangji. She lives a happy life, usually going out to dinner, dressing up, shopping and playing cards.
"Although it has suffered from some moisture, it doesn't hurt to wash the oars a few times and wear them inside. I also bought several oars."
Bai's family is also childless, but her daughter Mu Jin married to Wudinghou's Mansion in the capital, the younger brother of Concubine Guo Shu of the Eastern Palace, her daughter is well married, and she doesn't need to look at people's faces in the mansion.
Aunt Fang scolded: "There is such a good thing, why don't you call me? We have a lot of people in the third room, and some of them are made of spring clothes." Immediately asked about the situation...
"Why did you buy so much goods at once? This pile is in the warehouse, so it must be broken?" Aunt Fang felt distressed.
Ms. Duan knew it well, with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Seeing Aunt Jun deflated, I was very happy. Another good card was drawn, and I was even more happy in my heart.
"I heard that Mrs. Shizi's maid had trouble with the kitchen several times, and I don't know if the matter has been resolved." Jin Shi didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement.
"I heard that they had a few fights with the concierge. They said that the concierge would not let them go out." Bai and Jin were in the same state of mind. They all have no children, and their daughters are well married, so they can say whatever they want.
Bored on weekdays, like to listen to all kinds of interesting stories, what gossip in the mansion can hide them?
Whose face do they want to see? Who dares to give them face? Aunt Jun is just like them, a concubine.
If Mu Zhan becomes the eldest son, they will give Jun Qiluo some face, now? do you need? What can Jun Qiluo do with them?
Before, Jun Qiluo wrote to their daughters, using them as a threat, asking their daughters to help Jun Qiluo with things. That's filial piety, now that they know, how can Jun Qiluo handle them?
How to deal with Mrs. Shizi? From their point of view, Jun Qiluo just went to the doctor in a hurry.
"Third Madam, what do you think? Will Mrs. Shi Zi seek justice from the Duke?" Seeing that Duan Shi did not speak, Bai Shi and Jin Shi did not let her go.
The Duan family is a wife of the main family, who is taken over by concubines and hates concubines the most. I have no feelings for Aunt Jun, a concubine. Although he didn't want to conflict with the second room, he said with a smile: "I like the second nephew's wife quite a lot."
Jin raised her eyes and looked at her: "Are you so confident in Mrs. Shizi? Aunt Jun in this mansion has been in charge of Zhongfu for more than 20 years."
Duan raised her eyebrows, "So what? Outsiders think she is the Duke's wife, but we know she isn't."
Bai and Jin refused to accept, "She wants to be the Duke's wife? Have you asked us?"
Mu Ang's biological mother, Aunt Fang, played a card and said with a smile: "That child is honest, and I like her too. She is not a loser." She didn't worry much about Huo Xi.
Bai Shi and Jin Shi looked at each other, are these three families now on the side of Shi Zi and his wife?
Never mind her. Whoever is in charge of the house will not lose their food. They don't have to look at anyone's face, who made their daughter marry well.
Huo Xi is indeed as Aunt Fang said, he is not the one who is willing to suffer.
Aunt Jun asked the big kitchen to make things difficult for them, okay, she doesn't need the head chef of the big kitchen, right? Immediately let people go to the human teeth place, from the cook to the helper to the fire maid to the shopping, they bought everything and signed the contract.
Also asked the guards to go to the big kitchen to occupy a big stove. It was stated that in the future this large stove would be used exclusively for cooking by the servants of the Dafang, and it would be dedicated exclusively to them. Not convinced, let the kitchen steward come to her.
The concierge asked all kinds of questions, all kinds of cross-examinations, and they were not allowed to go out?
All right, let the guards occupy the side door closest to the courtyard of Dafang on East Road. The mother-in-law who was the gatekeeper was sent away, and Mu Yan's private soldiers were sent to guard it. In the future, except for the people in their eldest family, if anyone wants to live from now on, they will have to ask Shizi and Shizi's wife for a match.
Send the steward of the case to pick out the leftovers for the servants of the big house? OK, let's take a look at the ledger. How much does it cost to buy these copies? In the future, the big house will follow this price, just pay the money to the house and buy it yourself, and I won’t bother you.
After some operations, Aunt Jun was also dumbfounded.
Which family's daughter-in-law is so courageous, dare to challenge the head of the family?
Also occupied the big kitchen stove, and sent private soldiers to occupy the east side door? Is it also exclusively for the big room? Send someone to guard again?
Is this a robber?
Huo Xi didn't dare to lift his head in front of her, and raised his eyelids because he couldn't say anything without speaking.
"Ordinarily, our eldest family is the future head of the family. If I don't care about the middle class, I should assign my cronies to manage it. Even if I am a junior, it should be arranged by the Duke's wife. Let's look at the Duke together. Ma'am is not here, and I have a good temper, so I dare to put face on the big house, don't I?"
"Don't dare!" The steward knelt down with a plop.
