"Lu Fu, please... shopkeeper Xue come in!" Mrs. Fang said lightly.

Lu Fu gave Xue Poye a vicious look, waved his hand, and said coldly: "Please!"

Pushing the door and entering, you will see the small flower hall, a lady in a luxurious dress is sitting on the chair, graceful and noble, wearing gold ornaments and jade pendants, jewels and jewels, although it is very cold, but she is quite beautiful .

Xue Poye could see clearly that this beautiful woman was Mrs. Fang. Compared with the arrogance and domineering that day, today she is much calmer and more glamorous.

Behind her, there are two maids serving, and she is also drinking tea with a teacup, looking very leisurely.

When Xue Poye came in, she glanced out of the corner of her eye, a strange look flashed across her eyes, and she said calmly, "Are you from Lanyuexuan?"

Xue Poye touched his nose and said, "Second Grandma won't invite us to sit?"

"After seeing our second grandma, why don't you greet me? How dare you be so presumptuous?" Lu Fu shouted from behind.

Xue Poye sneered and said, "Housekeeper Lu, haven't you taken off enough clothes?"

Before Lu Fu could speak, Mrs. Fang had already waved her hand and said flatly, "Lu Fu, you go down first!"

Lu Fu gave Xue Poye a vicious look, and retreated unwillingly.

Mrs. Fang sipped her tea lightly, and said, "I heard that you Lanyuexuan beat people from our Lu residence?"

Xue Poye said leisurely: "I can't bear it anymore, I don't need to bear it anymore."

"What do you mean by that?" Mrs. Fang put down the teacup in her hand and stared at Xue Poye, but there was no hostility in her eyes, instead there was a very hidden emotion.

"You, Housekeeper Lu, brought your family members and carried a big stick to my Lan Yuexuan. You dared to leave my guests without distinction, and you uttered wild words. As for who will do it first, I think Madam should go and check it out." !" Xue Poye said indifferently: "Although the Lu family is a wealthy family, they can't bully others!"

Madam Fang's eyes moved, and she said with a smile, "Please sit down!"

This is the first time Xue Poye saw her smile, but he felt that her smile was quite charming. If he hadn't seen her evil deeds that day, he couldn't believe that she was that domineering, barbaric shrew.

Sitting down on the guest chair on the left, Xue Poye was about to speak when he heard a respectful voice outside the door saying: "Second Grandma, Xikou Medicine Store will present the bill, Second Grandma please look over it!"

Madam Fang frowned, and said coldly: "What time is it now? Didn't I say that the bill for that day needs to be paid at noon the next day?"

The voice outside was a little panicked, and the voice trembled slightly: "Now... now is the time!"

Shen time is dusk.

Mrs. Fang coughed, and a maid behind her went out and took a list, and presented it to Mrs. Fang respectfully.

Mrs. Fang looked at it slightly, and immediately sneered and said: "Tianshan Snow Grits allocated thirteen sticks to Xikou, but there are only twelve sticks in the account, and one is missing. What's going on!" Passing the list to the maid behind her, she ordered: " Hand over the bill to the cashier, check the medicinal materials, and check the number of Tianshan snow grits. If there is a mistake, ask the shopkeeper Xikou for the reason!"

At this moment, she acted vigorously and swiftly, not as calm as before.

Xue Poye sighed, the more this happened, the more he couldn't understand this woman.

Arrogant? Calm and elegant? Smart and capable

She seems to be a combination of contradictions.

The maid took the order and left, Mrs. Fang raised her voice and said to the outside world: "Xikou is Lao Zhang, right?"

Outside respectfully said: "Yes!"

Mrs. Fang thought for a while, and said coldly: "Let Lao Zhang rest for a few days first, and the second shopkeeper of the medicine store will come on top first, and tell your second shopkeeper that if you don't pay the account at noon, then you don't have to pay, and you can just roll up the bed and go away." people."

The voice outside was a little chilly, and after a moment of silence, he finally said, "Yes! What else can Second Mistress order?"

Mrs. Fang said coldly: "Tell Lao Zhang, prepare the silver for selling Tianshan snow grits for me, and the accountant will send someone to get it!"

After explaining, Madam Fang picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said calmly: "It depends on the owner to beat a dog. I let them bring money to discuss business. No matter what, you shouldn't do it!"

"People respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet!" Xue Poye touched his nose and said indifferently: "But if people offend me, I will definitely offend them. It's like Madam is resting, suddenly a few wild dogs barking, Madam only Are you afraid it will be uncomfortable?"

Mrs. Fang looked at Xue Poye, frowned and asked, "You really don't want to sell Lanyuexuan? I can offer a higher price, as long as you sell it, the price is negotiable."

Xue Poye waved his hand, shook his head and said: "Madam, I'm not here today to discuss the business of Lanyuexuan." Being grateful, I promised to give me a reward of four hundred taels of silver. Although I insisted on refusing it, the second young master is so kind to me that I can't refuse. Coming to the door today is to fulfill the second young master's promise and come to collect the reward of four hundred taels of silver !"

Mrs. Fang was not surprised. This incident seemed to be within her expectation. She said calmly, "Four hundred taels? He only tipped four hundred taels? It's a bit stingy."

Her expression was calm, but Xue Poye found that there was a trace of resentment and loneliness in her eyes.

Wu Rachi kept silent all this time, and couldn't help but said at this moment: "Hurry up and get the money!"

Mrs. Fang glanced at Wu Lachi, and said with a sneer, "There are still barbarians in the restaurant of Shopkeeper Xue?"

She is obviously also very prejudiced against Beihu people, showing dissatisfaction.

Xue Poye said indifferently: "This is my sworn friend who admires the luxury of the Lu Mansion, so come with me to take a look." Although these words are an excuse, but today I really saw the luxurious style of the Lu Mansion, which can be regarded as this A big win for the line.

After finishing speaking, Xue Poye took out the owed receipt written by the second young master from his bosom. It clearly stated that he owed four hundred taels of silver, and his signature and fingerprints were complete.

Mrs. Fang glanced casually, with a contemptuous smile on her lips: "Our second young master is very promising. In the past, the people who came to ask for debts were only ten taels or twenty taels, but now they pay hundreds of taels. It seems that shopkeeper Xue has been very helpful. ah!"

"It's really not small!" Xue Poye said boldly: "It can be regarded as saving his life!"

This is not bad, the second young master was hungry and cold that night, if he hadn't taken a cloth to cover himself to keep warm, he might have really frozen to death in the wilderness.

Mrs. Fang stared at Xue Poye for a long time, Xue Poye felt hairy all over from the scorching gaze.

"Since it was written by the second young master, and shopkeeper Xue came to the door in person, there is nothing wrong with it!" Mrs. Fang stood up slowly, glanced at Xue Poye, and said softly: "Treasurer Xue, come with me, and come with me." I'm going to get the silver!"

Xue Poye didn't expect Mrs. Fang to be so talkative, but thinking about it, Lu's family is sitting on tens of millions of wealth, and a mere four hundred taels is nothing. Since there is money, of course there is nothing to be shy about. He stood up and smiled: "Thank you Madam Already!"

Wu Lachi also stood up, and was about to go with her, when Mrs. Fang said calmly: "The warehouse is important, it's better for shopkeeper Xue to follow me!" She ordered: "Serve this guest tea!"

Wu Lachi showed an angry look, Xue Poye patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, wait a moment, brother will be back soon!"

Wu Lachi nodded, and said fiercely to Mrs. Fang: "Don't play tricks, or I will burn your Lu Mansion down!"

Mrs. Fang sneered, looking very disdainful, she moved lightly with lotus steps, pushed the door out, Xue Poye touched her nose, and followed closely behind.
