Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 443 Should we enter the Huo family?

Not long after, two simple craftsmen were brought before Mrs. Bai.

The two men bowed politely, and one of them spoke respectfully:

"Madam, my brother and I have been doing renovation work in Bianjing for many years. We have renovated many food shops and restaurants in Bianjing, such as Tianxiang Tower and Wangyue Tower.

Just tell us how to do it, and we will do our best to get it done."

Mrs. Bai described the decoration requirements of the silk shop, from the carving patterns of the doors and windows, to the layout of the shelves in the store, and even the color matching of the exterior walls, all of which were explained in great detail.

The two craftsmen listened attentively, nodded from time to time, and took note of the key points.

Mrs. Bai and Zhao Qiaoniang were about to leave when they heard footsteps approaching from afar.

Looking up, I saw several people in green robes walking in. The leader had a thin face, wore a black square scarf on his head, and wore a silk robe. His every move was capable and he looked like a butler.

The man walked straight up to Zhao Qiaoniang, bowed respectfully, and then asked in a gentle voice, "Excuse me, are you Zhao Qiaoniang?"

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at the other person with a puzzled look, and nodded slightly in response: "Yes, I am Zhao Qiaoniang. What can I do for you?"

The chief steward bowed again and spoke politely:

"I am the chief steward of the Huo family's old house. The old lady and the old mistress heard that you had come to the capital, so they specially sent me to invite you to come to the Huo family for a chat immediately.

The sedan chair is ready outside the door, please follow me."

Zhao Qiaoniang was slightly startled when she heard this, and subconsciously looked at Mrs. Bai, her eyes full of hesitation.

Mrs. Bai looked calm. After thinking for a moment, she nodded gently and said in a gentle voice, "Since the Huo family sincerely invites you, you should go!"

Zhao Qiaoniang took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and bowed slightly to Madam Bai: "Mother, I'll be back soon."

Lin Wanwan said, "Mom, I'm going too."

Zhao Qiaoniang was already feeling a bit uneasy. She shook her head and said, "Just listen to grandma. I'll be back soon."

Butler Huo said, "It's OK to bring the young lady along. The old lady and the mistress both want to see her."

Zhao Qiaoniang finally got into the sedan chair with the child in her arms. Mulan and Cui Ya, with worried looks on their faces, hurriedly followed closely behind the sedan chair.

After a while, the sedan chair stopped steadily.

Zhao Qiaoniang reached out and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and what came into view was the mottled vermilion lacquer of the back door of the Huo Mansion and the high-hanging Qisifeng lantern.

Butler Huo smiled broadly and raised his hand to invite her in. "Madam Zhao, we're here. Please come down!"

Zhao Qiaoniang stepped out of the sedan chair and looked around. Seeing that it was the back door of the Huo Mansion, she pulled Lin Wanwan tightly into her arms and said,

"What on earth do you, the Huo family, mean? As Huo Jun's legally married wife, I should enter the Huo family through the main gate according to the rules.

Now they let me go through the back door, what's going on?"

Butler Huo's smile froze, his eyes evasive as he said:

"Madam Zhao, please don't be angry. This... this is what the old lady ordered.

They say the back door is closer and less hassle."

Zhao Qiaoniang sneered and said:

"Less trouble? My entry into the Huo family's main gate concerns the Huo family's reputation and rules.

I took the backdoor today. How will others talk about me and the Huo family in the future? "

Butler Huo looked up and down at the clothes of Zhao Qiaoniang and her group, and a scornful smile appeared on his lips:

"Madam Zhao, let me be frank, the young master is just too naughty and does whatever he wants.

The old lady and the old mistress had already said that they would not recognize this marriage at all."

He crossed his arms over his chest, his tone growing colder: "I called you here today to discuss the divorce. Did you expect anything else?"

Zhao Qiaoniang was so angry that she laughed: "Since the Huo family has such an attitude, then I won't enter the Huo family!"

She hugged Lin Wanwan tightly in her arms and said loudly:

"You want a divorce, right? Fine! Let Huo Jun come talk to me in person.

If he has made up his mind and insists on divorcing me, I won't pester him.

But it's not up to others to make comments on this matter!"

A guy with a pointed face and monkey cheeks shouted:

"You're just a country girl, do you really think that our Huo Mansion has to welcome you into the house?

This is hilarious! Come on, everyone, take them in, so the Madam and the Old Lady don't have to wait anxiously!

As soon as he finished speaking, several monkeys came out from nowhere and instantly sprinkled white powder towards everyone in the Huo Mansion.

In the blink of an eye, those arrogant servants of the Huo family fell to the ground one after another.

Zhao Qiaoniang sighed helplessly:

"The Huo family is really not a pushover. We definitely can't go through the back door today.

Then should we enter the Huo family?"

Lin Wanwan snorted coldly and said, "Mom, come in, go in through the front door."

I have to deal with the Huo family eventually. If I don’t go today, I will have to go tomorrow. I can’t avoid it.

Zhao Qiaoniang raised her hand and gently touched her head and said, "Okay, since my daughter said she wants to go in, let's go in together and take a look. We want to see what the Huo family is trying to do."

Mulan and Cui Ya were on the left and right, and Zhao Qiaoniang was in the middle holding Lin Wanwan. The four of them walked towards the front door of the Huo Mansion with their heads held high and their chests puffed out without any fear.

Seeing this, the gatekeeper rushed forward to stop them, raised his hand as if to block their way, and shouted: "Who are you! Don't you know where this is? You can't just barge in!"

Before she finished her words, a hint of impatience flashed in Mulan's eyes. She exerted force on her feet and kicked the servant away with a "bang".

Seeing this, the other servants turned pale with fear and retreated to the side timidly, not daring to step forward to stop them.

The four of them walked through the courtyard as if no one was around and went straight to the Huo family's living room.

The living room was already full of people. When they saw them come in, they immediately started whispering to each other, and the sound of whispers rose one after another.

Old Madam Huo sat upright in the main seat, while Old Lady Huo beside her drank tea leisurely, her eyes full of disdain as she looked them up and down as if she were looking at a few insignificant ants.

Mrs. Huo held the Buddhist beads in her hand, muttered something, frowned slightly, and her face was full of displeasure.

Old Mrs. Huo spoke first, her voice sharp and questioning: "How did you get in? You actually came in through the main entrance?"

Zhao Qiaoniang wore a perfect smile on her face and responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:

“You must be the old lady!

Of course, you came in through the main gate. Otherwise, where else could you come in from?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Huo's eyes widened in anger, and she slammed the table and scolded loudly:

"You didn't show any manners when you saw us, you didn't call us, you didn't kneel, what do you want to do?

Do you still have our Huo family in your eyes?"

Someone from the Huo family curled their lips and shouted, "This Huo Jun usually does things in a very elegant manner, so why did he marry such a wife this time? Isn't this a country shrew?"

The people around him nodded in agreement:

"Isn't that right? I heard they even kicked the doorman just now.

By the way, why hasn't the butler come back yet? "
