The wife of a marquis died tragically and was divorced. After her rebirth, she killed people everywh

"Miss, your subordinate ..." Liu Cheng followed Lu Ze and discovered something. He was eager to report it to Xie Liuzheng. When he pushed the door open, he found that there was a visitor.

?

Knowing that he was being reckless, he lowered his head and quickly walked out the door.

?

Xie Liuzheng beckoned Liu Cheng in and introduced the guest to him: "This is Mr. Pei from Suzhou. He will stay in Yangzhou for a while. You go and arrange a house for him and a few reliable and experienced servants to take good care of Mr. Pei."

?

He also introduced Fang Cheng to Pei Xian, "Fang Cheng has been with my mother for several years, and he is quite experienced in handling affairs. Sir, just tell him if you have anything to say."

?

Fang Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at Mr. Pei quickly. He recognized him as the man in blue who stood with his third uncle when Qin Guangjin dragged his third uncle to the house to cause trouble. He couldn't help but feel confused.

?

Who was this person? He was treated as a distinguished guest by Xie Liuzheng. He was not even allowed to stay in an inn. Instead, he was given a house to worship. However, he did not dare to ask more questions. After paying respects to Mr. Pei, he retreated to the corner and stood by.

?

Mr. Pei chatted with Xie Liuzheng for a few words, then stood up to say goodbye. Xie Liuzheng saw him out the door and ordered Liu Cheng to entertain him.

?

The Xie family has no less than a dozen small houses for entertaining guests, all of which are fully equipped with all necessary supplies. Liu Cheng sent Mr. Pei back and reported to Xie Liuzheng.

?

"According to the eldest lady's instructions, Mr. Pei was placed in the house in Qintai Lane. Originally, there were two families looking after the house, and I transferred a few maids over. Mr. Pei didn't say anything."

?

There is a college near Qintai Lane. The environment is very quiet, which is very consistent with Mr. Pei's temperament.

?

Xie Liuzheng deliberately did not elaborate on Mr. Pei's identity, just to test Liu Cheng's vision, and the result made her very satisfied. "Liu Cheng, do you know that I went to Suzhou a few days ago to invite Shopkeeper Lu back? I believe that with time, your ability will not be inferior to Shopkeeper Lu."

?

Liu Cheng had met Shopkeeper Lu and knew how much Xie Liuzheng valued Shopkeeper Lu. Hearing this, his heart warmed. If he could be as useful as Shopkeeper Lu, his future would be worry-free.

?

Liu Cheng collected his thoughts and reported to Xie Liuzheng what he had discovered while following Lu Zeming. "I saw Qin Guang go in to find Lu Zeming. The two of them closed the door and talked for half an hour. When he came out, Lu Zeming walked him all the way to the alley before going back."

?

Xie Liuzheng frowned when she heard this. Lu Zeming was a typical villain who would not do anything without profit. His attitude towards Qin Guangjin had changed so much, he must have thought that he could gain something from Qin Guangjin.

?

What benefits can Qin Guangjin bring to Lu Zeming?

?

Xie Liuzheng soon found out the answer.

?

The silver shop reopened after a major adjustment. Xie Liuzheng wanted to bring back all the previous big customers, so he specially asked Master Guan to make some fine jewelry and visited them in person.

?

Women were restricted by etiquette and were confined to the inner chambers all year round. All they could pursue were small items such as clothes and jewelry.

?

Every piece of jewelry made by Master Guan himself is a masterpiece. The ladies loved them so much that they paid deposits and placed orders on the spot.

?

Zhao Shoubei's wife has always been a regular customer of the Xie family. The fabrics used in the mansion are all from the Xie family. After more than ten years of friendship, she intends to help Xie Liuzheng. "On the second day of next month, the old lady of the Feng family will celebrate her birthday. I will take you there to broaden your horizons and introduce you to a few more customers."

?

The Feng family of Yangzhou had no official position, but their status was very high because they had a concubine who was very favored. It was said that the emperor loved the Feng family and gave several official positions to the children of the Feng family, but Concubine Feng refused them all. She said that the children of the Chuang family were too clumsy to be officials in the court. The emperor insisted on giving the reward, but Concubine Feng would rather die than accept it.

?

From then on, the Emperor valued Concubine Feng even more. Even the Empress praised her for knowing when to advance and retreat, and was especially lenient towards her.

?

Of course, these are just rumors and cannot be taken as accurate, but it is true that none of the Feng family members served as officials in the court, and they rarely traveled around.

?

The old lady of the Feng family celebrated her birthday and many dignitaries came to pay their respects. It was really a great favor that Madam Liu was willing to bring Xie Liuzheng along.

?

Xie Liuzheng was never stingy with favors. She didn't say anything at the time, but sent a complete set of ruby ​​head ornaments to Mrs. Liu the night before the birthday celebration.

?

The ruby ​​is as red as blood and shines brightly. One can tell at first glance that it is no ordinary item.

?

What surprised Mrs. Liu even more was that the entire set of jewelry was made by Master Guan himself. The petals were actually made of extremely fine gold threads, which trembled gently with the movements, and were indescribably luxurious and exquisite.

?

Xie Liuzheng introduced with a smile: "This craft was developed by Master Guan himself in the past few years. This is the first time it has been made. I don't know if it will be accepted by the ladies."

?

"I, Madam, would like to ask you to try it on for me. If others laugh at me, please don't blame me."

?

Instead of saying it was a gift, they just asked Mrs. Liu to help make a live sign. They gave Mrs. Liu enough money and face, which made her feel very comfortable.

?

He immediately agreed, "Good boy, you are more talented in business than your mother. In the future, the Xie family will become even stronger under your leadership."

?

Xie Liuzheng thanked him with a smile, said a few polite words and stood up to take his leave.

?

The next day, Mrs. Liu went to the Feng family wearing the full set of makeup given by Xie Liuzheng.

?

Such exquisite jewelry immediately attracted the attention of the ladies and girls. They surrounded Mrs. Liu, praised her for her good taste, and asked who made the work.

?

When they heard that it was made by Master Guan of Yuxianglou, the ladies were full of envy. They all said that Madam Liu had great reputation. They had to wait ten days or half a month to order a piece of jewelry, but Madam Liu was already wearing a full set of jewelry... as a guest.

?

There is no woman who doesn't like to hear good words. Mrs. Liu was overjoyed by everyone's praise. She took Xie Liuzheng's hand and introduced her to everyone.

?

The identities of the people present were all different, and they usually looked down on merchants.

?

In order to be able to jump the queue and ask Master Guan to customize jewelry like Mrs. Liu, she condescended to give Xie Liuzheng a smile.

?

It's so obvious that we've already given you a chance, but you still don't know how to please us?

?

What kind of faces had Xie Liuzheng not seen in his previous life? For the sake of business, what was the point of suffering this little grievance? He spoke softly and calmly to these ladies.

?

The ladies were delighted and actually had a better impression of Xie Liuzheng herself, instead of just focusing on her status as the mistress of Master Guan.

?

As they were talking happily, a maid came over and invited everyone to take their seats. Everyone stopped talking, straightened their clothes, and went into the inner courtyard to pay their respects to the old lady.

?

Xie Liuzheng knew that her status was low and she would not be taken seriously by these noble families. If she tried to stand out, it would only cause disgust. So she lowered her head and followed behind Madam Liu. She would not say a word unless Madam Liu introduced her.

?

Mrs. Liu was more satisfied with Xie Liuzheng, but she felt secretly sorry in her heart that if Xie Liuzheng had not come from a merchant family, she and her nephew would have been a good match.

?

The old lady had silver hair, but not many wrinkles on her face, and had a kind look. She didn't put on airs, and spoke to everyone in a friendly manner.

?

Mrs. Liu took the opportunity to introduce Xie Liuzheng to the old lady.
