The subordinate scratched his head and pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Maybe Madam Xie has taken a fancy to Mr. Pei and wants to recruit him into the Xie family as a son-in-law."
?
"You haven't heard about it yet, right? Madam Xie had a son-in-law who was Miss Xie's biological father. But the son-in-law used the Xie family's money to support a mistress outside. The son raised by the mistress is a few years older than Miss Xie."
?
"Mrs. Xie was no pushover. She dug out the concubine and the illegitimate son, humiliated them in public, and kicked the son-in-law out of the Xie family. I heard that she didn't even let him take a change of clothes with him."
?
"Think about it, Mrs. Xie is in her thirties and still has her charm. Her family has enough money to last for several lifetimes. Wouldn't it be easy for her to find a man to marry into the family?"
?
When talking about gossip, my eyes light up.
?
The man in black glanced over coldly, and the subordinate's heart tightened and he almost bit his tongue. He quickly closed his mouth and dared not say anything, but in his heart he felt that his guess was almost right.
?
The man in black came to Mr. Pei to get medicine. After Mr. Pei delivered the medicine, he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare the horses and prepare to rush back to the capital.
?
Before leaving, he gave Mr. Pei a jade pendant that he carried with him, "If you ever encounter a problem that you can't solve, just come to me with this jade pendant."
?
Mr. Pei didn't want to have anything to do with the nobles in the capital anymore. Just as he was about to refuse the jade pendant, the man in black placed the jade pendant directly on the table beside him, jumped on his horse and galloped away.
?
In the blink of an eye, not even the shadow could be seen.
?
Mr. Pei was about to take the jade pendant, but he was worried that it would be lost and lead to trouble, which would eventually be traced back to him. He had no choice but to put the jade pendant into his sleeve.
?
After he returned, he never mentioned it to anyone. Xie Liuzheng naturally didn't want to see him meeting the man in black.
?
Besides, Xie Liuzheng doesn’t have time to take care of other things right now.
?
The Ministry of Revenue did send someone to the Jiangnan area to select a batch of silk, because more than ten members of the royal family were getting married in the spring, and a batch of silk needed to be prepared in advance for the dowry.
?
The silk I purchased last time was for daily use, but with so many royal family ladies getting married, that little bit of stock would not be enough.
?
It happened that the Prince of Pingxi won a great victory at the border. The emperor was very pleased and attached great importance to the marriage of the royal family's daughter. He took out a sum of silver from his private treasury and gave it to the Ministry of Revenue to come to Jiangnan to purchase silk for the dowry.
?
After hearing the news, Xie Xiangyu excitedly discussed with Xie Liuzheng, "When a royal family girl gets married, there will be a grand ceremony. The formal dress alone will have nine layers, plus the daily clothes and palace clothes... There should be a quota for palace clothes, so there is no need to buy extra."
?
"The materials for the dowry alone would have to fill dozens of boxes."
?
"Even ordinary people like us have to pay attention to the dowry when marrying off our daughters. How can the dowry of a daughter of a royal family be worse than that of ordinary people?"
?
"If our Xie family's silk can catch the eyes of these nobles, our Xie family will be able to make a name for itself in the capital. Then we can open a branch in the capital, specializing in high-end silk business. As long as we manage it carefully, it is only a matter of time before we become an imperial merchant."
?
Xie Liuzheng was also happy for Xie Xiangyu, "Mom has become an imperial merchant, maybe she will have a chance to see the emperor. Oh my, when future generations mention you, they will all give you a thumbs up."
?
Xie Xiangyu smiled and pinched her cheek, "You're actually teasing me."
?
"What's the use of me if I can't hear or see what future generations say about me? I just thought that if I could really become an imperial merchant, I wouldn't have to be so cautious with others. I wouldn't have to worry about business like I do. I could just wait for the errands in the palace, and other business would come to me on its own."
?
Parents love their children for a long time.
?
Xie Liuzheng leaned against Xie Xiangyu with emotion, and said softly, "Mother, you don't have to work so hard for me. It would be best if I could become an imperial merchant. If not, the money in the family would be enough for us to live on for several lifetimes."
?
This is what Xie Liuzheng really thinks. Only after he died once did he realize that money is nothing but external possessions. You cannot bring it with you when you are born and you cannot take it with you when you die. When one is unable to protect himself, wealth is often the source of trouble.
?
Xie Xiangyu was unwilling to give up the opportunity to become a royal merchant, so she plunged into the silk factory and studied patterns day and night with several masters. When she was tired, she rested in the factory and did not return home for several days.
?
Xie Liuzheng has become accustomed to this. Whether Xie Xiangyu returns home or not, she will live her life as usual.
?
The next day Fang Cheng came to report, "I had someone deliberately give Chen Baobao a hand. He got a taste of success and refused to stop. He has been gambling in the casino for a whole day and night. When I came back just now, he was still in the casino and hadn't come out yet."
?
A hint of disgust flashed across Xie Liuzheng's eyes. Even someone like Lu Mingze knew when to stop. But Chen Baobao was even more greedy and disgusting than Lu Zeming.
?
There is no need to be lenient towards such people.
?
Xie Liuzheng ordered in a deep voice, "Since the fish has been hooked, it's time to reel it in. Remember to do it quickly and not leave any clues."
?
As Fang Cheng said, Chen Baobao had been gambling in the casino for a whole day and night.
?
The clerks in charge of watching over the casino were worried that something might go wrong if he continued gambling, so they ran to report to their boss.
?
The boss personally came forward to persuade Chen Baobao to go back and have a rest before coming back.
?
But Chen Baobao refused to leave no matter what.
?
He loved gambling. After gambling away all the Chen family's fortune in Lin'an, he swore never to set foot in a casino again. However, he could not control his legs and wanted to come to the casino to gamble whenever he had some money.
?
For others, nine out of ten times they lose in gambling, but for Chen Baobao, he always loses every time he gambles. It’s not that he has never won, but others stop gambling after winning money, but he always feels that he will win more in the next bet, until he loses all the money he has.
?
But he learned his lesson and never owed gambling debts again.
?
This time it's different! Very different!
?
He actually won ten games in a row, and after that he lost less and won more. After a day and a night, the ten taels of silver he got from the second wife had increased dozens of times.
?
There is a mountain of silver in front of me, it feels so good!
?
Chen Baobao was very tired, but extremely excited. He stared with red eyes and shouted that the casino owner was kicking him out because he won too much.
?
Seeing that Chen Baobao was so ungrateful, the boss was too lazy to persuade him and had someone write a life and death statement on the spot, which roughly meant that Chen Baobao voluntarily gambled in the casino and that he had fulfilled his obligation to dissuade him. Chen Baobao did not listen, and any problems that arose had nothing to do with the casino.
?
Chen Baobao signed the life and death agreement without saying a word, and then couldn't wait to continue gambling.
?
But his luck wasn't so good afterwards, and he lost several hands in succession. Most of the silver that had piled up like a small mountain in front of him was gone in an instant.
?
Chen Baobao was completely furious. The more he lost, the more he wanted to win. The more he wanted to win, the more he lost. The stakes he placed became bigger and bigger. In just one hour, he lost all the thousands of taels of silver he had won.
?
Even the boss couldn't bear to see him continue losing, so he kindly advised him to go back and returned his ten taels of capital.
