The incense burner on the small case was still exuding fragrance, smelling this strong smell, even if he had been sitting here for a long time, Zhou Suge was still not very comfortable.

Burning the seal in his hand, he looked up at his second son, and said "um" lightly, "Why is it so urgent?"

Zhou Suge knows the second son's temperament best, like he is meeting guests tonight, and the second son will never come to disturb him, unless there is something important.

"My son inspected the market tonight, and heard some people say that the rich merchant who came today may really want to buy cotton from the town, and they have already sent people to contact many people. Zhou Yan didn't hide it, and told everything he saw and heard tonight.

Hearing this, Zhou Suge froze, and his tone was obscure: "Can you find out the origin of this person's identity?"

"Do you suspect him ......" Zhou Yan was shocked, his eyes were a little panicked, and he hurriedly said: "I was in a hurry to come back, so I haven't had time yet...... The son immediately sent someone to investigate. ”

"Go ahead. The folds on Zhou Suge's forehead were pressed two points deeper, and there was a faint disappointment in his eyes.

After all, the second son is not as good as the well-cultivated eldest son, but ...... This huge family business cannot be left uninherited.

Zhou Suge let out a sigh from his throat.

Seeing that the door was closed again, Zhou Yan's figure gradually faded away, and soon blended into the night, never to be seen again.

The red oil-paper lanterns hung high in the corners of the eaves, and the servants stood under the eaves, still keeping watch respectfully over the night.

"Childe, what's wrong?" Ah Wu keenly noticed the sharp turn in his master's mood, and couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Yan was silent for a moment, sneered suddenly, and then looked in a trance, muttering: "Everything I do is a failure, and everything I do is not as good as he wants......"

Ah Wu shut up and fell silent.

He knew that Childe was starting to fall into that dead end again.

Things have to start from a year ago, when the eldest son was still there, because he was the eldest son, the lord pinned all the hopes of the mansion on the eldest son, but ignored the second son who hid behind the eldest son all the year round.

Later, natural and man-made disasters were destined to come to this. The eldest prince went up the mountain to pick cotton for a peasant girl, unfortunately fell down the mountain by mistake, and the body was found on the second day, it was already a white bone forest, if it were not for the bone that gnawed the tooth marks of the beast and scattered a piece of the eldest prince's jade pendant, and the clothes he was wearing, otherwise no one would be able to identify the identity.

The eldest son went, but the incense of the Zhou family was not broken, and the second son began to support the family.

Can......

The old man who has ignored the second son for many years does not know, only the name of the eldest son of Zhou, and the people of Yingtian Town, who do not know that the Zhou family has a second son, do not know, and the second son has long been resentful.

But on the contrary, the master's requirements and expectations for him are getting higher and higher, and I don't know when, the second son fell into the dead situation of "not as good as the eldest brother" and couldn't get out.

The next day, a merchant came to Yingtian Town, and the news of buying cotton at a high price has spread throughout the town.

The woman who got up early to set up the stall began to chatter again: "When I went home last night, I saw someone talking to someone in my house, and asked him that he only said that our cotton had been harvested, and he got two pieces of silver, and weighed five or six taels!"

"Auntie, I remember that your family only planted two acres of cotton?"

The woman who had spoken smiled and said, "Yes, but I'm too busy these days to harvest only one acre." ”

As soon as this remark came out, the people around him were shocked.

In the past, they could sell cotton for half a tael of silver at most per acre of land, but now it has multiplied several times! You know, one tael of silver can give them half a year's worth of grain!

All of a sudden, everyone tacitly stopped making a sound, and they all had a calculation in their hearts, they had to put away the cotton and sell it quickly, otherwise if people didn't want it, then they didn't lose such an opportunity to pick up cheap in vain?

In the distance, someone sat far away on the high pavilion, and Chu Jiu, who had excellent ears, heard the words of the women downstairs clearly.

He turned his head and smiled like a dog's leg: "Master, you are really powerful, now the people in the town know your magnanimity!"

Listening to this sycophancy, Bai Ning's eyes did not lift, holding a white bone china cup in his hand, and he didn't know what to think about anymore with his eyebrows lowered.

"However...... Chu Jiu didn't care that the master ignored him, as if he remembered something, "Why do you want to buy cotton?" doesn't it mean that the master is here for natural disasters......? If this cotton is not harvested, what disaster will not be achieved??

"And, you forgot, you don't have much money with you......" Chu Jiu's voice lowered and lowered, looking for words one after another.

Only then did Bai Ningzhi give him a handful of glances, and said lightly: "Shut up." ”

"Someone else will give you the money you pay for cotton. ”

......

Su Jinjin was lying on the bed, thinking about the days, today is the second day of coming to Yingtian Town, and tomorrow is the Xia Yuan Festival.

In other words, there are still three or four days, and the flood she wrote about will inundate Yingtian Town, causing countless deaths and injuries to the people......

Su Jinjin sighed and poked the system to let it out, but the system hesitated, but it still turned into a fat and smooth-furred gray cat and jumped out.

Su Jinjin pinched its flesh with one hand, followed its fur with the other, and the system screamed with satisfaction, gurgling in her throat, as if it was really a cat.

Hearing this, Su Jinjin paused her hairy hand, and couldn't help but say, "You say, when can I go back......"

The system stopped screaming, curious: "Where are you referring to going back?"

"In the palace. Su Jinjin glanced at her, "If you don't go back, I'm afraid that both the male and female protagonists will give birth to monkeys, and I'm still wandering around here." ”

Now that the next Yuan Festival is in vain, Xie Qinghuan didn't like Bai Ningzhi, she is still staying here, isn't it a waste of time and feelings!

The system was relieved, it was really afraid that the host would ask her when she would return to the modern era, after all, if the host in its hands wanted to go back, it would be difficult......

"It's okay, it's okay, you'll be able to leave in a moment. The system comforted her unconcernedly.

Right away......

Su Jinjin tugged at its fluffy tail and sighed. In front of Bai Ningzhi's bitch, this is called living like a year, even if it is a few days, it is difficult.

How can it be said that it is immediate.

Thinking of this, Su Jinjin, who was bored, began to miss the last world, where there were still mobile phones and computers, which could be used to relieve boredom like the real world, unlike this ancient world that was hundreds of years behind......

"The host must have a correct mentality! This world reaches A-level and above, and the rewards will be very rich~"

The system shook its tail, and when the footsteps outside the door gradually approached, it appeared in place in a flash, and Su Jinjin's ears were still echoing its usual mechanical sound.
