Chapter 88 Buds Fight Back

"Qingying was indeed wrong to say that. How could she call me "our young lady" when she received the monthly salary from the Marquis' Mansion? When we return to the Marquis' Mansion, I will take her to Grandmother Pei to apologize."

Hualei paused and spoke again.

"But what Miss Han said about disciplining Qingying is not right. Although Miss Han has lived in the Marquis' Mansion for more than ten years and receives monthly salary from the Mansion, she is not the official owner of the Mansion after all.

A cousin who lives away from home brazenly said that she wanted to discipline the maid of the master's family. People who didn't know would think that Miss Han was the owner of the mansion. Or did Miss Han already consider herself half the owner of the mansion? "

These words are very serious. The girl was wrong and did not distinguish the primary from the secondary. However, you, Han Qingge, regarded yourself as the master of the Marquis' Mansion while being a guest. Isn't that more serious?

"Don't talk nonsense. It's not my turn to discipline Qingying. I will report it to Grandmother Pei and let her handle it."

Han Qingge blushed. She liked Pei Rongjin and wanted to finalize her marriage with Pei Rongjin immediately so that everyone in the Marquis' Mansion would know that she was the future mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. Isn't that a bad idea? Hua Lei's murderous words really hurt her.

"I'm not talking nonsense. I'm just saying that Miss Han is not the owner of the Marquis' Mansion. She takes the monthly salary of the Marquis' Mansion. Qingying also takes the monthly salary of the Marquis' Mansion. Miss Han is not suitable to discipline Qingying."

This sentence translates to "Han Qingge is just a cousin of the Marquis's mansion, don't take yourself too seriously, and don't always say you want to discipline the maids of the Marquis's mansion. You are not qualified." Hua Lei continued to stab him.

"You..." Han Qingge was so angry that she almost cried. Every time she confronted Hua Lei, she couldn't take advantage of him, and she was always speechless.

"Miss Han, please take your time shopping. Qingying and I will leave first." He turned to Qingying who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Girl, you should ask Nanny Chen who is beside Grandmother Pei to teach you how to speak and how to do things. I see that you usually speak and act very clearly, so why do you say the wrong thing as soon as you come out?

Is it because the weather is too hot and your mind is confused? Get up quickly, let's go to the pavilion in front to take a rest and cool down, and don't be confused anymore." He attributed Qingying's wrong words to the heat and her confusion.

Qingying hurriedly got up from the ground, took a paper umbrella, followed behind Hualei, and turned a corner with Hualei, heading southeast to a pavilion, leaving Han Qingge and his servant alone.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, they saw a pavilion right in front of them. Hualei wanted to take Qingying to the pavilion to rest, but when they got closer, they found that there were eight or nine people sitting in the pavilion. It looked like a family outing, with men, women, young and old.

Hualei paused. Although the pavilion was big enough to accommodate both of them, it seemed a bit rude for an outsider to go there when a family was sitting there, and the family also had male relatives. Hualei wanted to take Qingying and leave.

"Hua girl, Hua girl, is that you? Come here." A man's voice shouted loudly in the pavilion.

Hua Lei turned around and wanted to see who it was. A maid had already hurried out of the pavilion, trotted over to Hua Lei, leaned over gently, and said, "Miss Hua, my master wants to see you."

Jijiu, it turned out that Jijiu's family was in the pavilion. Since Hualei met Gui Jijiu once in the Jijiu's printing house in Beicheng District because of printing grids, they haven't seen each other for more than a year.

Although Hua Lei would go to the printing house from time to time to get goods, she was usually received by the printing house's chief and second stewards. She had yet to thank him in person for his maintenance of the books used in the imperial examination. Although Madam Pei later sent a thank-you gift to the chief priest's residence, it was not her after all.

It was such a coincidence that they met here today. The other party asked for an invitation again. Hua Lei was no longer shy and followed the maid over.

When she entered the pavilion, she saw the chubby chief priest sitting at the stone table, looking at Hualei with a big smile on his face. Sitting opposite him was his grandson, Gui Jingan, whom Hualei had met once in the printing house. There were also two or three teenage boys around the stone table, probably the chief priest's grandsons.

There was a chessboard on the table, and the two people were probably playing chess. On one side of the pavilion, there were several female relatives sitting, probably the wife and daughter-in-law of the chief priest. Hualei went forward to greet them one by one.

After greeting each other, the wife of the chief wine officer pulled Hua Lei to sit next to her, took her hand, and said with a smile, "Miss Hua, what a coincidence today, I heard our master often mention you at home.

He said you are pretty and smart. I met you by chance today. My master was right. Miss Hua is really pretty and smart. You will like her at first sight. "

Hua Lei said embarrassedly, "Madam, you are too kind. Hua Lei was just taking advantage of the situation. It was the Lord Jijiu who helped Hua Lei a lot and allowed my bookstore to survive."

"Girl Hua, you don't have to be modest. You are really doing a good job. You have bought up all the books and stationery for many private schools and academies. You must have made a lot of money from the bookstore.

Or has Hua Yatou's appetite become bigger and she is no longer satisfied with the current income? She took away half of the meat from Mi Zi Ge in the beginning."

Gui Jijiu interrupted at the side. Gui Jingan, who was sitting opposite, looked at Hua Lei for a few times, smiled, turned his head away, but the tips of his ears turned red involuntarily.

"You old man, how dare you say that? Bullying a girl, do you earn less? Do you get less benefit?"

The wife of the chief priest was standing by, she smiled and glared at Gui the chief priest, then scolded him with a smile.

"Hehe, of course I have made a lot of money, and I have also benefited a lot. According to Hua Yatou, Hua Yatou and I have mutually benefited and cooperated for a win-win situation."

Gui Jijiu laughed loudly, obviously very happy.

The lady sitting on the other side of Hualei was the eldest daughter-in-law of the chief priest, Hong, Gui Jingan's mother. When she heard what her father-in-law said, she also smiled, patted Hualei's hand and said with a smile.

"Miss Hua, I haven't thanked you yet, because because of your suggestion, Jing An's father got a good deal and was transferred to the Hanlin Academy.

This year, Jing'an's father has been very happy working in the Hanlin Academy, and his spirits have improved a lot. It's a pity that he is not free today, otherwise he should really let him thank you."

Hua Lei hurriedly said, "Madam, you are too polite. Hua Lei just took advantage of an opportunity. It was the Lord Jijiu who worked well, otherwise Hua Lei might not be able to save her life. As for Lord Gui, it was his own talent that allowed him to enter the Imperial Academy. Hua Lei does not dare to trouble Madam to thank him."

"Okay, let's stop thanking each other here. Hua girl, the sales of the field grid and square grid papers at the back are also very good. Not only has my family's paper mill cleared out all the inventory, but the production now can hardly keep up with the supply. Your bookstore should be making good money too." Gui Jijiu said happily.
