Princess Hanshan's Mansion's care for the Zou family is obvious to everyone, but the level of care is so different, so the Zou family was never invited to the plum banquet held by Princess Hanshan's Mansion, but they had frequent contacts in private, so people in the capital

Everyone knows it, but people from aristocratic families rarely see the two of them in the same frame.

This is also the reason why although Chen Xiuyan knows about the Zou family, she has never met them.

"Sister-in-law." Mrs. Huo knew the temperament of her aunt's sister-in-law. "This is Mrs. Luo. This is my first time meeting her."

"Mrs. Luo? Luo?" Mrs. Zou Yu frowned slightly and couldn't think of any official family with the surname Luo. "I wonder where Mrs. Luo's husband works?"

The question was so direct that Chen Xiuyan was a little amused, but she still answered, "In the Ministry of Works."

"It's at the Ministry of Industry." Zou Yu's face was like a Sichuan Opera face, instantly full of smiles, "I'm sorry, I'm disrespectful."

The princess of Changshou rolled her eyes, she was extremely arrogant.

"Mrs. Luo is from the capital?" Zou Yu asked next.

"My ancestral home is Shandong." Chen Xiuyan replied with a smile.

"I don't know..."

"Brothers and sisters." Mrs. Huo blushed a little. Although she knew that her aunt's brothers and sisters liked to cling to others and bully the weak, but today's incident was really embarrassing, so she interrupted, "Mrs. Luo is here to buy leather, let's not disturb them.

Buy something."

"Buying leather?" Mrs. Zou Yu's smile became more and more flattering. Only rich people buy leather. "Buying leather is good. I will help introduce you. My mother-in-law is in the fur business, so I know best."

Mrs. Huo's face became even worse. She used to look down on others, but now she revealed that her mother's family was in business. Didn't this bring shame on the Zou family?

If it were not for the purpose of making money through business, the family would not have married a daughter of a merchant family for the younger brother. As expected, merchant girls are not in the limelight.

"That's troublesome." Chen Xiuyan didn't attach much importance to scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. She just heard that Zou Yu's family was in the fur business, so she wanted to ask her to introduce it.

Mrs. Zou Yu gave instructions to the lady in the shop, and soon she brought in piles of leather, fur-embellished clothes, boots, etc.

Chen Xiuyan took a closer look and saw that the leather was mostly boots made of ordinary rabbit skin, deer skin, etc. Chen Xiuyan looked more like the leather of the finished clothes was wrapped with a strip of animal skin on the cloak, which was also ordinary rabbit fur and wool.

On the other hand, there are a few wolf and fox skins in the simple tanner.

"Please wrap these up for me." Chen Xiuyan chose two wolf skins and one fox skin. "Do you still have fox skins? Are there any other better skins?"

"There are minks." Zou Yu suddenly said.

"Brother and sister." Mrs. Huo's face suddenly turned dark, "You forgot, that mink cloak has been reserved."

"Forget it." Chen Xiuyan stood up with a smile, "Just buy these three pieces of leather today. Mrs. Huo, Mrs. Zou, thank you very much for today, we will leave first."

"No wonder I don't tell you what my husband-in-law does. He is afraid whenever he meets people. He is definitely not a respectable person. My enthusiasm just now was in vain."

…

Not long after Chen Xiuyan and the others walked out of the box, Zou Yu's complaining voice was heard. It sounded like the tone was just for them to hear...

"It's too much to deceive others." Princess Changshou said sternly, "I don't know what the so-called thing is. It's like a clown who thinks he's just a dish. He's not afraid of offending people who can't afford it. What the hell."

As soon as Princess Changshou finished speaking, there was no sound in the box not far away. Princess Changshou snorted softly before taking steps again.

"Little master, why are you fussing with those things? You don't have to be so angry that you're so angry." Eunuch Xia followed behind and comforted in a low voice.

"I'm not angry. What's there to be angry about after I retorted all my words?" Princess Changshou said naturally.

When Eunuch Xia saw that his princess's application did not seem to be a fraud, he sighed inwardly. Ever since his young master had been associated with Prince Jin's Mansion, his temperament had become more stable and mature.

The group walked up to the fifth floor, went down to the first floor, and went directly to the counter to check out.

"Two hundred taels." The lady collecting money said with a smile.

Chen Xiuyan was a little surprised, because although she had chosen wolf and fox furs, the quality and color of the furs were not of the highest quality. They were barely above average. Chen Xiuyan estimated that one hundred and fifty was the top.

The other party saw the confusion in Chen Xiuyan's eyes, "The price of the leather is one hundred and sixty taels, but because the guest used the private room on the fifth floor, he had to buy two hundred taels. If he didn't buy it, it would still be the same price."

Chen Xiuyan smiled when she heard this and raised her head slightly to look at the stairs. Sure enough, she saw Zou Yu walking downstairs, her face full of pride that you can do anything to me.

Chen Xiuyan didn't understand why the daughter-in-law of a small sixth-grade family was so arrogant and not afraid of causing trouble?

"Mrs. Qi." Mrs. Zou Yu suddenly changed her expression, with a smile on her face. She walked down in small steps, and then came to a young woman who was elegantly dressed. The woman was wearing a red jacket skirt and looked impressive.

It was the Qin Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty.

Chen Xiuyan raised her eyebrows unexpectedly. A concubine actually dared to wear red to go out. Is the Qi family going to spoil their concubines and destroy their wives?

"Mrs. Zou, is my mink cloak ready?" Qin Wanqing said.

"Mrs. Qi came just in time. She is still here. She was almost snatched away just now. I asked her to keep it for you." Mrs. Zou Yu said in a flattering tone.

"Is there anyone else snatching it? I made the reservation early. Who doesn't have a good eye..." Qin Wanqing looked in the direction Zou Yu hinted at, and then saw Chen Xiuyan, Princess Changshou and Luo Mingxin standing next to her.

, naturally I didn’t dare to say the next words.

"The Crown Princess is here for a private visit incognito today? How can she be dressed up so ordinary without wearing any brocade clothes?" Qin Wanqing looked up and down, his words filled with mockery.

"The family tradition of the Qi family is really surprising." Chen Xiuyan looked at her slowly, allowing outsiders to see clearly from head to toe, "A concubine actually wears red? The Qi family wants to pamper their concubines and destroy their wives. They are not afraid of imperial concubines.

Impeachment?"

"The Imperial Concubine doesn't know, Grandma Qi's candidate is about to be changed." Qin Wanqing gently held up her hair, with a proud look on her face, "That's why I can wear red."

"Is it going to be changed, or hasn't it been changed yet?" Chen Xiuyan hadn't heard the news, so it was definitely impossible for her to have been replaced. Qin Wanqing had already announced the change in advance, "Let's not mention it for the moment. A little Liupin Anren,

When meeting this concubine, Princess Changshou and Princess Wenshui do not need to salute?"

Qin Wanqing's eyes flashed with secret hatred, but he still bent down to greet Chen Xiuyan and others, "Greetings to the Crown Princess, Princess Changshou, and Lord Wenshui."

Not far behind Qin Wanqing, Mrs. Zou Yu's face turned pale and she almost collapsed, but she was helped by a servant to avoid making a fool of herself.

Chen Xiuyan didn't intend to take a second look at a wallflower like Zou Yu. She was more concerned about the movements of Qin Wanqing, or the Qi family.
