Shen Wenbiao and his wife were so angry that they were punished according to the law. It was their fate that they did not survive and they could not blame others.
However, Shen Wenbiao's three sons all believed that the magistrate was partial to Zhao Yanping and Chen Ying, and deliberately asked the yamen runners to kill and beat their parents. They thought so that they did not want to find Zhao Yanping and Chen Ying to take revenge. After all, if they had this backbone, they would not have recruited their parents in a series of actions during Xie Ying's trial.
The three couples were worried that their powerful sister Chen Ying had not resented her resentment and continued to collude with the government to cause trouble for them. The people did not fight with the officials. After this lesson, the three couples only wanted to live a good life with their family property and did not dare to follow their parents' style. They were too greedy, which eventually harmed their grandfather and themselves.
All six of them remembered the feeling of hitting the board on their bodies, and they never dared to enter the yamen again.
After some discussion, Shen Wenbiao's eldest son, Chen Ying's eldest nephew, came to Chen Ying with regret on behalf of the whole family. Of course, his parents were wrong, but Shen Da mainly cursed the Dong family in the county, especially the eldest son Dong. If it weren't for the eldest son Dong who was rejected by Chen Ying and ran to the Shen family to instigate him, there would be no future.
That day, Master Dong was trying his best to provoke. Without him, the Shen family is still doing well now.
"My sister-in-law, we brothers don't want the Rouge Shop in the town. This is the deed. You can continue to take it. You must carry forward the Rouge Shop's business and not let the Dong family achieve their wishes!"
Shen Da said sadly and angryly.
Chen Ying didn't want his deed. As soon as her father died, she had no relationship with the Shen family in Shenjiagou except for her surname Chen.
Seeing his father fall into peace with his own eyes, Chen Ying, accompanied by his brother, went to the Rouge Shop in the town.
Next, she had to be filial and would not do any business anymore. Chen Ying, a big guy in the shop, was dismissed. Chen Ying always did the most important step in making rouge, and was not afraid of these guys leaking. What prescription is revealed? There are more than 3,000 boxes of rouge in the warehouse and cabinet. Chen Ying brought them all onto the carriage.
When something happened to Mr. Chen, Gillian asked Guo Xing and Qiuyue to take over the stall and would not open it for the time being.
Zhao Yanping accompanied Liu, and Chen Ying was busy with funerals in the countryside. When Mrs. Zhao saw that there were still three or four hundred boxes of rouge in the cellar, Ah Jiao put on a good business and refused to do it. She scolded Ah Jiao: "The Master of the State Councilor is dead. Xiao Ying and her mother want to keep mourning. The official does not need to keep guarding, and you don't need to keep guarding. Even if you keep guarding, it won't prevent Guo Xing and the others from going out to run errands. What are you doing when you close the stall?"
Gillian makes money, and Old Mrs. Zhao can also get a share of the money. Of course, she hopes to continue to open a business.
Gillian didn't want to contradict the old lady himself, so she lowered her head and said, "The official told me to stop before leaving, I dare not ignore him."
In fact, the official was in a hurry to leave, so he was not in the mood to take care of her business. It was all Ah Gillian's own plan.
The disaster of the Shen family originated from the Dong family's instigation. Why did the Dong family buy the prescription for Shen Ying because Gillian's business is getting better and better, which has affected Yulou's business. If Gillian did not do business, none of this would have happened.
Gillian didn't know if Miss Chen Ying would vent her anger in the end. She was uneasy and didn't want her to continue to use Miss Chen Ying's rouge to make money as if nothing had happened when Miss Shen Ying was crying.
No matter what Mrs. Zhao said, Gillian just refused to set up a stall again.
Finally, it was the day when Chen Yuanwai was buried. In the evening, Zhao Yanping drove the car to take Liu, Chen Ying, Manager Li, Baoping, and Ruyi back.
Gillian and Mrs. Zhao went out to greet each other.
Chen Ying wore a hat and ignored Mrs. Zhao. She first ordered Manager Li and two maids: "You go to the house in Huaihua Lane first, and my wife and I will go there tomorrow."
Manager Li nodded, called Ruyi, Baoping, and drove away.
He is over fifty years old and has no children. The master regards him as his family. Shen Wenbiao's family doesn't think so. Now the lady is willing to continue using him, so Manager Li is dedicated to serving the lady. When the lady was crying, she sent him to the county town to buy a house and shop. Manager Li has already arranged it.
"Sakura bought a house in the county?" Old Mrs. Zhao asked in surprise, looking at her grandson as she spoke.
Zhao Yanping had no expression and asked the whole family to go to the house first to say.
Gillian walked at the end, and her worried eyes kept falling on Shen Ying.
After entering the main hall, Zhao Yanping closed the front and back doors, Chen Ying and Liu took off the curtain on his head.
Both the mother and the mother had red eyes, but they were calmer than Gillian imagined.
Liu had known that Chen Yuanwai would be ahead of her sooner or later, but this time she was too surprised and she was hit hard without preparation. But in the Shen family, Liu had finished crying all the time she should have cried. Her husband was gone, and she also had a son, daughter, and a daughter who had not been found. Liu knew that she was useless and could not help the children. The only thing she could do was to continue to accompany the children and not cause trouble for them.
So she will no longer cry in front of the children.
Chen Ying doesn't cry because she knows that she can't cry back her father, and she has more important things to do.
Chen Ying first explained the matter about the house to Mrs. Zhao.
The Zhao family is small, and the mother and daughter have to stay mourn for three years. It is inconvenient to live in their brother's house. Chen Ying doesn't want to bother her brother, nor does she want to feel wronged about living in the same house with the old lady Zhao, who she doesn't like. Anyway, she has money in her hand, so buying a house is the best way.
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she felt relieved.
When the daughter-in-law is not here, she is the only elder in the family. When the daughter-in-law comes back, the eldest grandson's filial piety must be distributed to the daughter-in-law. Old Mrs. Zhao is afraid that she will not get used to it. It is best now.
However, Mrs. Zhao still complained, complaining that Chen Ying was spending money and should live in her brother's house.
Liu lowered his eyes, Chen Ying lowered her head to drink tea, Zhao Yan pursed her thin lips tightly, and only heard Mrs. Zhao talk about those scenes.
After Mrs. Zhao said something, she thought of another thing and asked Chen Ying: "Sakura pulled so much Yanzhi into the city. Do she want to open a shop by herself?"
Gillian never found a chance to speak, and then hurriedly said, "Miss Ying, this is caused by me and you who purchased the goods. I will not do business in the future. There are more than 300 boxes of rouge in the cellar. Do you take it together?"
Hearing this, Chen Ying walked over and held A Jiao's hand, and forced herself to smile and said, "Sister-in-law, don't think too much. This matter has nothing to do with you. I supplied it to you to borrow your business to make the reputation of Shen's Yanzhi. No one of us can predict what happened next. I don't blame my sister-in-law, and don't blame myself anymore, otherwise I wouldn't treat me as a family."
Gillian wanted to cry when she heard this. How could the girl be so good?
Old Mrs. Zhao interrupted again, "Listen, I'll say Sakura won't blame you. You'll stop your business as soon as something happens."
"Grandma, you have tea, Sakura has something to say." Zhao Yanping finally called the old lady and frowned.
It sounds nice. Old Mrs. Zhao understood that her grandson was asking her to shut up. She glared at her grandson, but she still sat down and looked at Chen Ying curiously.
Chen Ying still held Ah Gillian's hand, saying: "Sister-in-law, my father was so angry that he was Shen Wenbiao, but this matter has nothing to do with the Dong family's provocation. Next, I have to find a way to get the Dong family to be retribution. I don't sell rouge myself, and it is not convenient for my sister-in-law to sell it anymore. Look at this, I bought all the things in the cellar for fifty cents per box. Is it okay?"
Gillian said anxiously: "What are you saying about this girl? I don't want to do business anymore. You can take all those things and don't have to give me anything."
Chen Ying knew that Ah Jiao was kind-hearted, so she simply said, "In this way, I will return the deposit of the rouge to my sister-in-law, and none of us will take advantage of each other."
Gillian still wanted to refuse, but Zhao Yanping made the decision and said, "It's decided."
Gillian shut up.
Old Mrs. Zhao didn't understand and asked Chen Ying: "If you don't sell rouge, why are you going to bring so much rouge to do?"
Chen Ying lowered her eyes and said, "You will know before Double Ninth Festival."
Chen Ying went to the county government to complain that day, and Shen Wenbiao and his wife were killed by sticks. This matter was spread in the county town for a day or two, but the Shen family was just a big family in the village and their foundation was not in the county town. After all, no one mentioned it again after the incident was spread for a while.
On the Dong family, Mr. Dong and Master Dong did not expect that Mr. Chen would be so angry. Mr. Dong provoked Shen Wenbiao that day, hoping that Shen Wenbiao could steal the sovereignty and forced Chen Ying to agree to the seller. However, he thought that Mr. Chen died in the evening. Not long after, Shen Wenbiao and his wife were gone?
Mr. Dong is a Buddhist chanting Buddha and ordered his eldest son to go to the temple to donate a sum of incense and oil.
Master Dong donated money for incense and oil. When he came back, he found that the concubine's shed was not open. He was happy. Sure enough, as soon as the door was closed, the rouge business in Yulou gradually improved.
However, the Dong family was not happy for a long time. A shop opposite the Yulou closed down and reopened and renovated it into a teahouse. Two clear-talk and clever and likable children were invited outside the teahouse. They were pounding the gong and recruiting business, saying that the owner invited people to drink tea and listen to books for free, and each female teahouse also gave a box of good rouge for free until the delivery was finished.
Who wouldn't go to such a good thing?
The idle people on the street squeezed into the teahouse to drink tea. While drinking tea, they listened to books. The story of the story was called "Rozhi Resentment". It said that a Chen official loved his daughter as his life and promised her to do Rouzhi outside. Miss Chen's business was getting better and better, and offended Mr. Dong in the county's pink house...
Apart from not telling the name, the surnames, words and deeds of the characters in the story are completely a grudge between the Shen family and the Dong family. However, the storyteller focused on depicting the Dong family discussing how to grab business, how to provoke the Shen family, and finally continuing to earn high prices with low-cost rouge.
At the beginning of the story, the tea shops knew what was going on. The tea shops hated the Dong family, who sold high-priced rouge and did not allow others to sell at low prices, and caused the Shen family to lose three lives. Especially those small-time women and girls who had low-priced rouge to buy, scolded the Dong family the most fiercely.
Just three days after the teahouse opened, someone poured a bucket of feces before dawn.
This teahouse was opened by Chen Ying, and she didn't want to hide her as the person behind the scenes.
Mr. Dong loves money and reputation. After Chen Ying makes such a fuss, the Dong family's reputation is bad and the business is bad. Those rich old customers and female customers don't want to cause trouble and stop visiting Yulou. What's even more annoying is that the rouge jewelry shops in the county that have been pressed by Yulou have taken the opportunity to make efforts and come out one after another, snatching a large number of business from the Dong family.
Mr. Dong tried to make peace with Chen Ying, and spent money to relieve Chen Ying's resentment. Chen Ying disagreed and hired a capable guard in the house, not afraid that the Dong family would want to make a trick.
After the private settlement, Mr. Dong instructed his son to go to the county government office to sue the officials, and sued Chen Ying's teahouse to slander the Dong family.
Xie Ying then sent a message to Manager Li and Mr. Storyteller, and heard Mr. Storyteller tell him from beginning to end. First of all, the story does not mention the name of Mr. Dong’s family and even the Yulou. Secondly, the story says that what Mr. Dong does and says in the story is true. He just says that it is the Dong family, and the Dong family cannot win the lawsuit.
Master Dong returned empty-handed. Looking at the teahouse opposite, Master Dong said angrily: "Let her open it, and don't charge money for tea and give you rouge. I see how long she can do this loss-making business!"
There were too many tea customers, and Chen Ying's more than 3,000 boxes of rouge were quickly distributed, but only sixty or seventy taels of capital, Chen Ying didn't feel sorry for her.
Without Rouge, Chen Ying continued to treat tea in vain. Tea is not a good tea, and the storyteller's salary is not high, so she can afford it.
The Dong family couldn't afford to waste and dared not deal with Chen Ying, so they wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. As long as they beat the storyteller, they could see which one had a long tongue dared to do things for Chen Ying.
Master Dong secretly bribed a thug who would never dare to betray the Dong family and was about to take action on the way home of Mr. Storyteller.
As a result, the thug put a sack on the storyteller and punched him twice, and was caught by a regular constable who suddenly rushed out. The thug had a weakness in the Dong family, and beating was a minor crime. When he arrived at the county government, he insisted that he was disliked by the storyteller, so Xie Ying had no choice but to beat the man and put him in prison.
The storyteller cannot be beaten for nothing. The next day when he went to the teahouse to tell the story, he added another paragraph of Dong's intention to buy it. The murder was made up, and he lifted up his sleeves to reveal the injuries on his body for the listeners to see. As soon as the news spread, the Dong's reputation became even worse. Not only did he fail to intimidate all storytellers, but he scared away a bunch of gangsters and thugs who were willing to serve the Dong's family.
The secret Zhao Yanping and his brother and sister had been on guard against each other. Mr. Dong finally accepted it and ordered his sons to lock up Yulou, just waiting for Chen Ying to marry and leave Wu'an County, or if Zhao Yanping has no ability, he will support Chen Ying, and Yulou will be reopened and regain its momentum.
