Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng

Chapter 152 Taizhou Tea Merchants

"Ma'am, we got the medicine, let's go back."

The maid Meixiang said to the lady who was leaking urine.

"Okay, let's go back."

With Meixiang's help, the lady got into the carriage, and the carriage slowly drove towards the east of the city.

The carriage drove into a large courtyard with five entrances and exits, with the words "Gan Mansion" written on it.

It turned out that this was the residence of Gan Xuhua, the largest tea merchant in Taizhou, and the person who just entered was Mrs. Gan.

She was the concubine's daughter of the Tea and Horse Bureau. It was because of her that the Tea and Horse Bureau gave the tea permit for Taizhou to Gan Xuhua, making him the largest tea merchant in Taizhou.

"Master, the lady is back."

When the butler Gamber saw the lady's carriage driving into the mansion, he hurried over to report to the master.

After hearing this, Gan Xuhua nodded and asked the housekeeper to leave.

In fact, he didn't like his wife. She was too cold and had no interest in him at all. How could he have as much fun with her as those concubines?

Moreover, she was a concubine's daughter. He was a tea merchant with endless wealth and glory, but he married a concubine's daughter, which made him unable to hold his head up among his peers.

If it weren't for the fact that her father was the Tea and Horse Bureau, she would have been divorced by him long ago.

What's most infuriating is that he didn't allow his woman to have children, but she only gave birth to a boy and a girl. Could it be that such a huge family business can only be handed over to one son? Could he manage it?

He had promised the Tea and Horse Department that he would not allow other women to have children. He was afraid that he would not be able to do it, and if the Tea and Horse Department took back the tea permit, he would be left with nothing. Therefore, he had been forbearing all these years.

As long as he could find evidence of the Tea and Horse Agency's crimes, he could force him to step down, or even confiscate his property and exterminate his clan. He would then have the opportunity to rise to prominence and embark on a career in officialdom.

Now that there is no evidence, it is best not to anger him.

Mrs. Gan returned to the yard and saw her son reading and writing, and her daughter reading beside him.

"Mom, you're back."

When the two children saw Mrs. Gan, they happily walked out of the room, came to the ground, and saluted respectfully.

Looking at the twins, a boy and a girl, Mrs. Gan's face was filled with happiness.

This is the child she gave birth to with all her life, and he is everything to her.

Her mother was a concubine, and she was born a concubine, and was treated with cold stares and ridicule in the mansion.

When she grew up, she warned herself that she must not follow in her mother's footsteps and become a concubine who was not allowed to see the light of day.

So she took a liking to Gan Xuhua who came to ask for tea tickets at first sight, because his threshold was not very high and he was not very wealthy.

She found her father and knelt for a day and a night to beg him to agree to let her marry Gan Xuhua.

For her sake, her father signed a contract with Gan Xuhua, which stipulated that Gan Xuhua could not allow other women to give birth to children.

It seems that it is all for him, but in fact, they want to control Gan Xuhua.

In the year of his marriage, his father introduced Taizhou's tea to Gan Xuhua, which allowed him to instantly rise to the upper class and become the largest tea merchant in Taizhou.

"Well, how was your study today?"

Mrs. Gan asked her children.

"Mother, my sister is so stupid. The teacher has taught her many times but she still can't learn."

Gan Xiaofan told his mother the story.

"Xiao Fan, she is your younger sister. You can't say that about your younger sister, okay? As her older brother, you have to take good care of your younger sister and protect her, okay?"

Mrs. Gan spoke to her son earnestly.

She had never felt the care of her brother since she was a child, and she didn't want her daughter to go through the same thing. She hoped that her children could love each other and that the brother could love and respect the sister.

"Mother, I know I was wrong and I won't do it again. My sister won't do it again. I will help her."

Gan Xiaofan also realized that he had said the wrong thing and made his mother angry.

He actually loves his sister very much, he just said that because he wanted his mother to pay more attention to him. When he saw his mother was angry, he apologized immediately.

"Mother also believes that Xiaofan will take good care of his sister and love her because Xiaofan is the best brother."

Mrs. Gan said with relief.

"Ma'am, you're back. Are you okay?"

At this time, Gan Xuhua came up and asked with concern.

It's just that his concern doesn't reach his eyes, which makes people feel his hypocrisy.

"It's okay, let's go back to the room and talk. Xiaofan, Xiaodie, go back to class."

Mrs. Gan didn't want to talk about this embarrassing illness here, so she told her two children to go to class and took her husband back to the yard.

"Yes, mother! Father, mother, slow down!"

Gan Xiaofan and Gan Xiaodie bowed respectfully to their parents and saw them off.

Gan Xuhua and Mrs. Gan returned to the yard, and Mrs. Gan repeated what the miracle doctor had said. She felt it necessary to let the master know that the reason he got the disease was because of him and his children.

She didn't expect the master to have mercy on her, but she just hoped that he would not indulge those concubines who were arrogant and came to cause trouble for her.

After hearing this, Gan Xuhua comforted her with a few words, found an excuse, and left.

Seeing her husband who didn't care about her at all, Madam Gan just sneered. What if he didn't love her? What if he wasn't favored? As long as she was the legal wife, those concubines couldn't have children. They couldn't threaten her position and her son's position, and they couldn't get involved in the Gan family's property.

Thinking of Madam Leng whom she met today, she was glad that the master didn't like her.

If the master gave her that dirty disease, she would go crazy.

It’s better not to be favored and not have to serve him.

As long as she is alive, she will be the mistress of the Gan family and no one can threaten her.

After figuring it out, Mrs. Gan suddenly felt happy.
