Chapter 983: Spreading in Official Circles
There will be more opportunities to make money in the future.
She brainwashed herself that this was not the way to make money.
After Gu Yao figured it out, she thought that after the disaster year, everything would be fine next year.
"Since Miss Gu is still busy, I'll go back first." Chen Beibei knew what Gu Yao meant, so she got up and left the workshop.
She got on the carriage and went outside, and saw that there were almost no people on the road.
Many shops were open, but no one was coming in or out.
She had been at home recently and had not paid attention to her shop. She drove her carriage to the door of the shop and saw that the clerk standing at the door was already dozing off.
She said to the coachman outside, "Go back home."
-
Qian Yun of the Qian family died, but his death was not in vain.
Earl's House Qiu
"Master, Master Qian is here, look?" There was a piece of white paper pasted outside the door of the Qiu family's house.
This is the death of Miss Qiu. Since she is an unmarried girl, this kind of funeral is handled simply and not on a grand scale.
The Qiu family hung a white sail in the yard where Qiu Zhenzhen lived.
Elsewhere, everything remains the same.
The eldest daughter of the Qiu family should be buried with great ceremony after her death.
But what happened this time was so disgraceful that not many people knew about it.
"Humph, she dares to come here, is she looking for death?" Earl Qiu Qiu's eyes were filled with anger.
Their Earl's Mansion has begun to decline by his generation, and his son is not particularly outstanding at the moment. What he didn't expect was that because his family allowed a young lady from the Qian family to marry in, the Qiu family could no longer hold their heads up in the circle of the capital.
Their marriage is now also despised by others.
He was a great earl, but he could only hold a sixth-rank position in the officialdom, which was also a sinecure. Even if he asked for leave for the whole year, no one would say anything.
Because of the Qiu family's affairs, now their Qiu family has no place in the emperor's eyes. When will their Qiu family be able to rise and have a place in officialdom?
The title of their Qiu family cannot be lost, they need promising talents in the next generation.
He had already found the prime minister's most talented illegitimate son for Zhenzhen. Now everything was over.
Their Qiu family has a bad reputation, and they don't want to give any face to the merchant Qian family at all.
"I understand. I'll chase him away right away." The butler retreated respectfully.
After going out, his body stood straight.
He opened the door and said proudly, "Master Qian, you came to disturb me without a letter. Could it be that our Earl is waiting for you at home at any time? Who do you think you are?"
The housekeeper didn't give the Qian family any face at all.
Their master holds a title, so even if he is impoverished, he is not someone that these merchants can control.
Mr. Qian was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "Lord Earl doesn't want to see me? Even if my Qian family is a merchant family, we are also citizens of Da Qi. My daughter died and she cried to death at home. Didn't the Qiu family give an explanation? Don't you, the Earl's Mansion, take the law seriously? My poor daughter!"
Master Qian has made up his mind. If he doesn't make a fuss now, he will lose his position and the initiative if he wants to make a fuss again after a while.
What they had done in the palace was considered a secret and was circulated only within the official circle, but the people below were not aware of it and no one went out to spread the news.
The ladies present at the scene also told them to shut up.
Even those who wanted to bring merchants in this time were only a few.
The merchants who came in this time included Gu Yao, Tan Xiaomei, Qian Yun, and three others. They were all on the male side and had cooperation with the royal family. They were also the best in the merchant circle.
He is from the South.
No one has spoken about this matter, so it is impossible for people outside to know about it.
However, the Qian family wanted to marry into a family of officials, but they could not find any good families.
If you want to enter the royal family and become a concubine, no one wants you now. The Qian family wants to use money to attack them, but they have been excluded from the official circle and the royal circle.
If the children of the Qiu family want to find a job, they can only look down, or look for a chance in the circle of wealthy businessmen. Unless their family has some outstanding descendants, they can save their face.
Otherwise, no one will give priority to their family.
"The law? You are a businessman, yet you dare to cause trouble at the gate of the Earl's Mansion. Come, beat you up. You are really looking for death." The butler's eyes were so cold that they could freeze, making this cold winter even colder.
Mr. Qian, who was making trouble outside, was also a little scared.
But he cannot back down. The Qian family is in this situation now. The Qiu family will invite him in for the sake of face and reputation. They cannot afford to lose face.
"I just want justice for my child. What have I done wrong? Does the Earl really want me to say it out loud and embarrass everyone?" Mr. Qian said angrily, his hands shaking.
The butler was afraid that he would say something even more unpleasant.
Their young lady died recently for no apparent reason.
Something big must have happened recently?
As a butler and a born son of the Earl's Mansion, he has to consider more for the Earl's Mansion.
I'm just a businessman, please bring the person to my house first.
Although the ordinary people outside pointed and talked, they didn't dare to say much.
Master Qian was brought into the mansion by the housekeeper in front of the common people.
When he arrived at the Qiu family, the housekeeper would no longer be nice to Master Qian.
First find a woodshed and lock him up.
When they arrived at the Earl's Mansion, it was up to them to decide how to deal with this mere merchant.
Mr. Qian thought that the butler invited him to the house to meet the Earl.
What I didn't expect was that they would lock him up in the woodshed.
"I want to see the Earl. You go and tell him that if the Qiu family wants to make a comeback, he must come to see me. The Earl will regret it if he doesn't come to see me." Master Qian said in a tough tone.
Standing in the woodshed, he waited for the housekeeper to come and invite him again.
Seeing Mr. Qian's solemn promise, the butler dared not not inform the Earl.
The Earl saw the butler coming again. Feeling irritated, he couldn't help but frowned: "Is it possible that what I said is useless?"
The Earl is the boss of the Earl's Mansion. The housekeeper knelt down with a plop: "Master, please calm down. The old man of the Qian family has been standing at the gate and refused to leave. I am worried that he will continue to say something unpleasant that will be detrimental to our Earl's Mansion. So I brought him to the mansion privately. I locked him in the woodshed. He said he had something important to tell you. He said that if you don't see him, you will regret it for the rest of your life. He said it was about the future direction of the Qiu family. He didn't say anything more specific."
The butler's forehead was covered with sweat.
How could a butler like him decide the future direction of the Earl's Mansion?
