After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster

Chapter 39 Mrs. Zhou arrives
The master and servant got on the carriage and went directly to Qingfeng Inn.

"Madam, what are we doing at the inn?" Jingzhe and Gu Yu didn't bother to ask. Now they finally had time and couldn't wait to speak.

"Ms. Zhou is here," Jiang Fuyue smiled deeply, "She said she just arrived in the morning, and now the group is settling down at Qingfeng Inn to rest."

Hearing this, Jingzhe and Gu Yu looked at each other, their eyes brightening.

"Great!" Gu Yu cheered directly.

Jingzhe also smiled: "That's great, madam, Madam Zhou is here, I guess..."

At this point, Jingzhe suddenly stopped.

The soundproofing of the carriage is not very good. There are many people outside separated by a wall, so some things cannot be said.

Jiang Fuyue clenched her hands, an inexplicable tension and expectation surged into her heart, and her heart beat faster and faster.

Not only because Mrs. Zhou came, she had hope of getting out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Also because Mrs. Zhou is an old friend.

Someone who once served her mother.

She is one of the few people in the world who has contact with her mother.

"Hurry up!" Jiang Fuyue couldn't help but urge.

So the horse changed from walking to trotting.

-

In less than a moment of burning the incense, the carriage stopped. Jiang Fuyue couldn't wait to get out of the carriage, and walked inside without even standing still.

Mrs. Zhou stayed in the upper room on the third floor. Jiang Fuyue found the room according to what the letter said and stood at the door, but did not knock on the door.

Jingzhe and Gu Yu looked at each other. Jingzhe wanted to open the door, but Gu Yu grabbed him.

Guyu shook his head gently.

Jingzhe pursed her lips and stepped back.

A long time had passed, but Jiang Fuyue remained motionless.

The hands folded in her sleeves had pinched her over and over countless times, leaving several marks, but she was still extremely nervous.

Finally, Jiang Fuyue breathed a sigh of relief, and when she was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, the door in front of her was suddenly opened from the inside.

The person who opened the door was a woman who looked to be in her thirties, with healthy wheat-colored skin and starry eyebrows. She was wearing an agarwood-colored cotton robe. Because she had been doing business outside all year round, she had a particularly neat and decisive temperament.

"Is she a girl?" Mrs. Zhou said, her voice was gentle and inconsistent with her appearance.

"...Ms. Zhou." Jiang Fuyue's eyes were slightly red.

Madam Zhou's eyes also turned red, and she reached out to hold Jiang Fuyue's hand: "Girl, come on, come in and sit down!" Jiang Fuyue followed Madam Zhou in, while Jingzhe and Gu Yu closed the door for them and guarded the door.

In the room, Mrs. Zhou took Jiang Fuyue's hand to the table and walked around her several times. Her eyes were filled with relief and there were faint tears: "Okay, okay! The girl has grown so big. If Madam could see the girl like she is now, she would be very happy!"

The two of them sat down and Jiang Fuyue said, "I rashly wrote a letter asking Madam Zhou to return to the capital. I'm really sorry for letting Madam Zhou abandon the foundation she has worked so hard for so many years."

Madam Zhou raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said: "It's nothing. I can build the family business I have now, thanks to my wife...

To be honest, when I first came here, I didn’t want to do the work of serving tea and serving people. It’s ridiculous to say that I was arrogant and felt that doing such a thing was an insult to me.

So I told my wife that I wanted to go out on business, but she refused and said that it would be inconvenient for me as a woman to go out and get into trouble easily. However, I pestered my wife and told her that I was not afraid of anything and that I could do anything a man could do. Can do it too.

The wife said that this world is harsh on women, and although being in the back house is restrictive, it is also safe.

But I don't accept it, I want to ask why, I want to break out!

I want all the men in the world to know that women are not born to carry on the family line and take care of the housework for them. I want all the women in the world to know that we are not weaker than men!
I'm afraid my wife has never seen me so reckless yet persistent. After two years, my wife finally agreed.

My wife gave me a large sum of money, and a few accompanying maids to protect me, and asked me to go to Liangzhou.

My wife told me to leave a way out for myself, so that I would not be so poor that I would not even have the means to come back. I arrogantly told my wife to wait and see, I will definitely become the richest man in Liangzhou, and I will definitely be prosperous by then. I came back to show my wife, but she didn’t say anything and just looked at me with a smile. "

This was the first time Jiang Fuyue heard about this past incident, and she was entranced for a moment.

My mother's voice and smile seemed to be right in front of me.

"But I didn't expect that doing business is not difficult, but guessing people's hearts is difficult! The girl doesn't know that the world outside can be cannibalistic, and there are not a few people who kill for money!
When I arrived in Liangzhou, my business started quickly. It became very big all of a sudden. The money came in like water, and so did the resentment.

Those people were jealous that we had made more than half of Liangzhou's money, so they wanted to smash our sign and ruin our reputation. But girl, I am not boasting, our sign is not something that anyone can smash!
When those people saw that they had tried their best but still had no impact on our property, they began to murder us.

In just two years, all my friends who had traveled thousands of miles together, drank wine, eaten meat, and bragged and talked with each other, were all gone..."

When she mentioned her deceased friend, Mrs. Zhou couldn't even speak anymore, and she just fell on the table and started crying.

Jiang Fuyue felt very uncomfortable, but didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to hand her her handkerchief, pour her a cup of tea, and put it at hand.

Madam Zhou cried for a while, and finally managed to calm down. Her voice was still choked with sobs: "I really don't know, for the sake of money, those people dare to treat human lives so carelessly! They are worse than animals!
Later, I didn't dare to be so public anymore, so I could only keep a low profile, and gradually figured it out. You can see from the account books that the girl has sent me over the past few years. Although I can't be called a big business now, my industry is quite large. . "

Jiang Fuyue nodded lightly: "Yes, I have seen it all... Madam Zhou, thank you for your hard work..."

"Huh, is it hard or not? It's all the path you choose!" Madam Zhou wiped her tears carelessly, "I won't talk about this anymore, girl, the reason why I came so quickly this time is actually because many years ago, Madam once wrote me a letter."

"Mother?" Jiang Fuyue's heart tightened, "What did mother say to you?"

Madam Zhou nodded and said: "Madam said that she has been feeling unwell recently, which may be bad. Madam was worried that after her death, she would leave the girl unattended in the world, so she wrote a letter asking me that if one day the girl calls me to Beijing, I will You must obey and be supported with all your strength!
I felt bad when I saw this letter and wanted to go back to Beijing quickly, but before I could leave, my wife..."

Afraid of making Jiang Fuyue sad, Madam Zhou quickly said: "Although Madam and I are masters and servants, Madam was willing to give me money, carriages and horses, and let me go to Liangzhou for a big fight. It shows that Madam trusts me and understands Mine, so as soon as I received the girl’s letter, I quickly brought the people over, girl, let’s go, I will take you to meet them!”
