MTL - My Parents Are Omnipotent-Chapter 337 Enter Hou Fu
Ye Anlan and Zheng Fengshou have only been in the shop for a very short time. Under normal circumstances, they are not qualified to send jewelry to noble homes like Weipinghoufu.
But the problem is that the female family members of the Bai family in Weipinghou's mansion have become invisible people in the noble circle since two years ago.
They are different from those rich and powerful families who have too many unworthy descendants and their assets have been squandered. They still have family wealth and titles that have not changed, but their status has become unprecedentedly embarrassing because the capital has been cut off from the northern border.
The attitude of the royal family and powerful officials towards their Bai family is getting worse year after year, and some shallow-sighted clowns even take pleasure in stepping on them to show themselves.
Although the old lady and the head wife of the Bai family are powerful characters, but for the sake of their family members stationed in the north, they can only choose to endure in many cases.
They refrained from their edge, and at the same time they did not forget to restrain the younger generation in the family, in order to make the royal family and powerful officials less stare at the Bai family, but those who deliberately neglected them felt that the Bai family was exhausted.
From dignitaries to market merchants, more and more people began not to take the Bai family seriously.
Ye Anlan and Zheng Fengshou purposely sneaked into this jewelry store, and the new owner behind it is also one of those villains who become rampant when they become powerful.
Relying on being one of the brothers-in-law of the empress dowager's mother, this man squeezed out the old owner of the jewelry shop and occupied the hen that lays golden eggs passed down from his ancestors.
A certain court official who originally got shares from this shop, because he was afraid of the powerful position of the new owner of the shop, he dared not even meet the old shop owner who came to the shop.
The old owner of the shop was shut down, so how dare he put his hopes on his original backer.
After he came back, he didn't even dare to mention the money. Not only did he obediently offer the shop's house deed, the jewelry and raw materials stored in the shop, but also under the instruction of the other party, he also kept the craftsmen and apprentices in the shop. .
His knowledge and wit saved the lives of their family, but they dared not stay in this capital any longer.
He left with his family members. After he left, the jewelry shop passed down by their family was changed from inside to outside except for the craftsmen and apprentices who were in charge of making jewelry.
This is why the shop is short of people, allowing Ye Anlan and Zheng Fengshou to sneak in.
The shopkeeper sent by the new owner is also the best at budgeting. After checking the two household registration documents that Ye Anlan went to a certain county government and personally stamped and issued, this shopkeeper who loves to take advantage of small things is just like a normal clerk, At half the price of the guards, two "country folks" Ye Anlan and Zheng Fengshou were hired.
Influenced by his master, he also felt that the Marquis of Weiping had completely lost power, and he was not worthy of their careful and respectful treatment.
In addition, because of the palace banquet, the nobles in the capital are now busy making clothes and jewelry, and their jewelry shop that has just changed hands really can't get so many skilled hands who often come and go to the mansions of dignitaries.
There was no shopkeeper available, so the "not very important" Weipinghou Mansion was distributed to the newly recruited Ye Anlan and others.
Ye Anlan and another female buddy named Qiu Xing'er were in charge of contacting the female relatives of the Weiping Hou Mansion, showing them the finished jewelry and taking back the final payment.
Zheng Fengshou and another guard named Wei Hu were responsible for escorting jewelry and silver on the way back and forth.
The shopkeeper didn't know that Ye Anlan and Zheng Fengshou were actually in the same group, and thought that all four of them were newcomers and didn't know each other.
He put the jewelry ordered by the Marquis of Weiping half a month ago into a box, and handed it to Qiu Xing'er, who had been working as a female clerk in the shop for almost a month, and then called his nephew, who hadn't sold five clothes, over to let him Help the four people who are about to go out to drive.
Zheng Fengshou said that they don't need it, "I will drive the car."
He is also a guard like him, but Wei Hu, who came more than half a month earlier than him, glanced at Zheng Fengshou like a fool.
He said to himself, the shopkeeper sent his nephew to follow, why do you have no idea? You are a newcomer, people can't trust you, don't you know?
Zheng Fengshou really didn't know.
But even if he is like this, the store manager still doesn't think Zheng Fengshou is blind at all.
To be honest, compared to Wei Hu, who has flexible eyebrows and eyes and is used to observing words and expressions, he is more at ease with Zheng Fengshou, who has no scheming and is straight to the end.
He patiently said to Zheng Fengshou, "There are rules in our shop, and whoever has to do the job."
The implication is that since you are a guard, then you should stop taking the driver's job.
Zheng Fengshou let out a bewildered oh, with an expression of "Although I didn't understand, but since you said so, then so be it" on his face.
The shopkeeper patted Zheng Fengshou with a look of relief, "Go, go early and come back early."
The four of them responded in unison, and went to the backyard to take a carriage with the shopkeeper's nephew who seemed unable to wake up.
The carriage was very simple. Two female assistants sat in the carriage with a jewelry box. Zheng Fengshou and Wei Hu sat on both sides of the carriage one after the other to guard the carriage.
They crossed the streets and alleys, turned from the busy city to the east corner gate of the Hou Mansion, and then the servants who guarded the gate passed it to the inner layers.
It took about two quarters of an hour to communicate. After two quarters of an hour, Ye Anlan and Qiu Xing'er, who was holding the jewelry box, were lured to the inner house by the rough envoy of the Hou's mansion, and Zheng Fengshou and Wei Hu were guarded by the gatekeepers. The servant invites you to the porter to have tea and wait.
Before leaving, Ye Anlan gestured to Zheng Fengshou, signaling him to stay here honestly and avoid causing trouble. Then, while walking in with the woman who led the way, Ye Anlan quickly rolled her eyes and carefully observed the surrounding environment.
This is a habit she developed in the last days. No matter where she goes, her first reaction is to observe the environment and find out the best and alternative paths for rapid evacuation.
Of course, if her behavior is noticed by others, they will laugh at her because of her looking around.
But why no one pays attention to her now.
The mother-in-law leading the way just walked silently without looking back, and Qiu Xinger, who came with her, was only concerned with being nervous.
Although it is not the first time for her to send jewelry to the homes of dignitaries and dignitaries, it is the first time for her to take the lead.
The previous two times, she just followed the older female assistants in the shop to fill her head, just like Ye Anlan this time.
Because of this, she was actually very nervous.
You must know that even if it is a shopkeeper with someone behind him, he only dares to look down on Weipinghou's mansion behind his back, let alone a slum girl like Qiu Xing'er who really came from a small family. Li Xing missed even one step wrong.
She tremblingly followed the woman to the inner house of the Hou's mansion. The knuckles of the hands holding the jewelry box were already turning white, so naturally she didn't have the extra energy to remind Ye Anlan who had just arrived.
