The Regent's Tender Darling

Xuemei was confused at the beginning and gradually opened her mouth in surprise. She didn't expect Ma Pingfeng to be such a person.

This is very different from what the fourth girl said about Ma Pingfeng.

"Thank you three young masters for informing me." Xuemei turned around and left after being convinced. She had to tell her queen about this quickly!

After walking a few steps among the crowd, I saw a calligraphy and painting shop on the roadside, which seemed to be the property of the Chen family.

And she happened to see a familiar figure.

At the same time, Chen Qian, who was talking to a few waiters at the door of the painting and calligraphy workshop, also saw Xuemei from the corner of his eye.

"You guys go and do your work first." Chen Qian dismissed the two guys, and then went in the direction of Xuemei.

Xuemei was stunned for a moment and then hurried to the calligraphy and painting studio, bowed to Chen Qian and said, "Second girl, you are well."

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Qian slapped Xuemei De on the shoulder and asked with a smile, "Where's Jiaojiao? Didn't you come out?"

Xuemei shook her head: "No, my mother-in-law has not been in good spirits these past two days. She may be tired."

"Tired?" Chen Qian looked puzzled, "Who can make her tired?"

In the Chen Mansion, this Jiaojiao is the ancestor of the deceased. Who dares to make this girl tired?

Xuemei told the truth: "The Chen family has canceled the engagement with the fourth girl."

"Seriously?" Chen Qian was stunned for a moment, then her eyebrows lit up with joy.

Except for the second uncle, no one agreed to the marriage between the Chen family and the Zhu family, so it would be a good idea to withdraw now.

"I've been busy these days and didn't even know about this. I'll go back in the afternoon and bring some good things to make her happy."

The two were talking when they suddenly heard a noise.

"Where did the poor scholars come from? Come on! Our Baiyan Hall won't sell anything to poor scholars like you!"

The sound came from the side. Xuemei looked around and saw a waiter at the door of a nearby shop that sold four treasures of study. He was arrogantly driving away a poor-looking scholar.

"What kind of shop is this? Are you looking down on others?" Xuemei couldn't help but felt sorry for the evicted scholar, so she almost stepped forward to argue.

Chen Qian shook his head and said, "That's the Huo family's shop."

"No matter whose shop it is, it shouldn't be like this!" Xuemei retorted.

"It's not the Huo family's fault. You don't know that the Huo family's legitimate daughter was defrauded of a lot of money by a poor scholar. In the end, the poor scholar ran away with the money. The Huo family's legitimate daughter was so sad that she hanged herself. "

Chen Qian still felt a little regretful after saying this, shook her head and sighed: "That's why the Huo family's shop doesn't let these poor scholars enter."

Xuemei was a little touched after hearing this, but she still felt that the Huo family's behavior was a bit inappropriate, and sighed slightly: "Although... but generalizing them all, isn't it a bit excessive?"

"You don't know when you're not in Hangzhou." Chen Qian said, putting his arm on Xuemei's shoulder and walking into the painting and calligraphy studio. "We merchants in Hangzhou don't have a good impression of poor scholars."

"Why?"

"These libertines don't dare to offend the officials' families, so they use all kinds of tricks to deceive girls from merchant families like us, just to make a lot of money. There are many tricks."

Xuemei looked shocked: "There is such a thing?" It's simply unbelievable!

Chen Qian nodded, raised his eyebrows and said, "But it's no wonder that others are the reason for this. This kind of scholar just took a fancy to the merchant and wanted to find a Qingliu family as a backer. He promised to take the exam in the future, so he got into it."
