In her previous life, Xia Ruan often heard her mother mention Jia Cui.

In her mother's mouth, Jia Cui is a shrewd, introverted, and enthusiastic woman.

Because her mother mentioned it too many times, Xia Ruan had some good feelings for Jia Cui.

So after her mother committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, Jia Cui came to visit her in person, because of that good feeling, she relaxed her vigilance and did not detect Jia Cui's wolf ambition in time.

When the eldest aunt smiled at her with the title deed sent by Jia Cui, Xia Ruan realized how wrong she was.

At that time, Jia Cui persuaded her with a smile on her face.

"Now that the second lady is gone, Ruan girl, you have to mourn. But people can't be resurrected after death, and you won't be too pitiful if you follow the eldest lady in the future...... You, you are really born in happiness and don't know ......"

Good fortune? Every time Xia Ruan thought of the days when he had been under the fence, had been cautious, and wanted to please his aunt, but he had been rejected and even almost lost his life, a vicious anger surged in his heart, and his throat seemed to be choked.

It's just that at that time, the only thing she could do was to choose to go against the grain. When the people said any more ridiculing words, she listened to them in her ears, and she did not dare to refute half a sentence.

Memories of scenes came to Xia Ruan's mind, which made Xia Ruan a little funny.

After thinking for a while, Xia Ruan really laughed, but this smile was a little cold: "Who are you?" I don't remember...... I haven't been to Zhuangzi for several years. ”

Xia Ruan's words made Jia Cui's movements freeze a little, and at this time, Jia Cui was stiff, like a puppet, and it seemed that he didn't leave or stay. She looks shrewd and capable. At this time, pretending to be aggrieved is also a good look.

Jia Cui lowered her head and smiled wryly: "I...... I just heard my wife often talk about the third lady. That's why there are no rules. I heard from the steward that the third lady was here, so I ...... It's me who is too presumptuous. Three Misses. Don't you ...... I ......"

Jia Cui stammered, and everyone felt that Jia Cui was a little pitiful, especially Aunt Zheng, who looked at Jia Cui with a trace of pity in her eyes. But Aunt Zheng felt that Jia Cui's current situation was embarrassing, and she would not go up to comfort her. In Aunt Zheng's eyes, people Xia Ruan didn't like, she naturally wouldn't let Xia Ruan see them.

Aunt Zheng treats Xia Ruan as her own daughter, and she is more or less partial.

What Aunt Zheng thinks, Xia Ruan naturally knows the way. But for a person like Jia Cui, you must not give a good face, but it is also ...... As the saying goes, a dog can jump off a wall in a hurry, so some things need to be done slowly.

Xia Ruan smiled and seemed to be sorry, but he put up his head a little bit, and said to Jia Cui slowly: "I don't have a good memory, don't mind." ”

When Jia Cui heard this, she almost scolded Xia Ruan.

Jia Cuicai didn't believe that Xia Ruan had a bad memory, could Xia Ruan remember Aunt Zheng or not? How can it be. Mrs. must have mentioned herself by Xia Ruan's side from time to time, but now Xia Ruan said that she didn't know her, and she said it in a similar way. Jia Cui looked at Xia Ruan, and her heart was a little blocked. But after thinking about it again, Xia Ruan hasn't come to Zhuangzi all these years, even if she hears her name. I don't know that she is Jia Cui, and she will be a little strange in her heart. It's also human nature.

Thinking of this, Jia Cui's heart was somewhat comfortable.

"Aunt Zheng. I'm a little tired. Xia Ruan still held Aunt Zheng's hand at this time, and said coquettishly, "Won't you let me go into the house to sit?" “

Aunt Zheng's thoughts on Jia Cui were immediately taken back, and then she said with a smile: "Look at me, people are useless when they are old, and they actually let you stand outside all the time." Quick, quick, quick, come into the house and say ......"

Xia Ruan's eyebrows and eyes were bent: "Aunt Zheng is not old, she is still the same as before." ”

Aunt Zheng laughed even happier when she heard this, and a group of people hugged Xia Ruan into the house, leaving Jia Cui to follow in, and it was not standing outside.

Jia Cui looked at Chen Da next to him, who had not had time to enter the door, and said, "Brother Chen, how can you say that the third lady is like this?" Madame doesn't like to put on a shelf on weekdays, but when you look at the third lady's eyes, there is no one in her eyes, and her eyes are all in the sky, it's just ...... Even though we are countrymen, we should not be treated like dust. It's so self-righteous to be so high up and come to this place to do something. ”

Chen Da looked at his wife and Xia Ruan smiling happily, and there was still a little smile on his face, but after hearing Jia Cui say this, the smile on his face slowly rose, and he glanced at Jia Cui lightly.

"If you can't speak, don't talk about it, she is the young lady of the Xia family, what are you, you can say such things." Chen Da looked displeased, lowered his voice and reprimanded, "Madame is good to you, that is Madame Bodhisattva's heart, but what are you saying behind your back, be careful to break your life." I don't think Miss San remembers you as a person, so as not to feel disgusted after hearing these words, hum...... Go back early, it's hard to walk at night when it's dark. ”

After saying that, Chen Da also followed into the house, and Jia Cui couldn't refute it.

Jia Cui was a little surprised by Chen Da's words, and wanted to chase in and scold a few words to get angry, but Jia Cui could only think about these things. If she dared to do this, Xia Ruan would never let her continue to work on Zhuangzi, and then she would have to worry about the family's chewing again. Jia Cui thought for a while, looked at the room and took a spit: "Little cheap hoof, there is a time when you cry." ”

After speaking, Jia Cui turned around and left unwillingly.

Inside the house, Xia Ruan glanced at Jia Cui who was leaving, but couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips.

Chen Da is honest and wooden, and he is notoriously good to Aunt Zheng. Love House and Wu, Aunt Zheng's attitude towards Xia Ruan over the years, that is, Chen Da's thoughts. So Jia Cui wanted to fiddle with right and wrong in front of Chen Da and Aunt Zheng, but she could only be bored.

The table was full of dishes, and almost all of the meat and vegetarian ones were Xia Ruan's favorite foods. Aunt Zheng was afraid that some dishes would not taste good if they were cold, so she deliberately asked Chen Da to watch the heat at home and make the dishes hot.

Xia Ruan felt a little sour in her eyes, Aunt Zheng has never been a big person, and she has to live a good life. Making such a table of dishes almost costs Aunt Zheng a few months' wages, but Aunt Zheng doesn't care at all, she just asks Xia Ruan to eat more.

"What, isn't this dish to your liking?" Aunt Zheng looked at Xia Ruan and didn't move her chopsticks, a little worried. "Is the food cold?"

Xia Ruan couldn't help but wonder: "The dishes made by Aunt Zheng are all very suitable for my appetite." It's just that it's all my favorite food. I don't know that Lu Dao should eat that first, Aunt Zheng, you should also sit and eat together. ”

Aunt Zheng hurriedly waved her hand. said that it was not in accordance with the rules, but after being dragged by Xia Ruan to sit down, he didn't care about it anymore.

After eating, Xia Ruan drank tea before talking to Steward Wang about the affairs of Zhuangzi.

Steward Wang was a little puzzled in his heart, the things that Xia Ruan explained to him a few years ago were basically consistent with what Xia Ruan said. Recently, on the side of Danyang County, the Nan family seems to really want to sell a few tea gardens in their hands, and there are also a few merchants who also have such thoughts.

It's just a tea garden in the hands of the Nan family. has been losing money, Xia Ruan wants to take over, and Steward Wang feels that something is wrong.

"Miss, you asked me to go to Danyang County to inquire about it, and I asked people to inquire. Although the Nan family wants to sell those tea gardens, even if the Nan family wants to sell them, the price will not be too low. When Steward Wang said this, his brows tightened, "And the Nan family doesn't do business, so we have to lose money if we do it." I might as well do it for another business. ”

Xia Ruan didn't see Steward Wang's anxious look, and asked softly, "What business does Steward Wang think you need to do?" What kind of business will make a steady profit? ”

Steward Wang was stunned for a while when Xia Ruan asked this, and then showed a wry smile.

There will never be a time when doing business is sure to make a profit or lose money. Because no one dares to make this guarantee.

Xia Ruan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, only to feel that her lips and teeth were fragrant.

"Steward Wang, you have been tired these days, but I think you can buy those tea gardens and land of the Nan family. It won't cost too much silver. Xia Ruan added another sentence, trying to make it clearer with Steward Wang. The Nan family would definitely not have looked down on those small tea gardens in the past, but why did the Nan family suddenly buy these tea gardens at a sky-high price ten years ago. Presumably, the king's steward also knows the way. ”

Steward Wang nodded, of course he knew about this matter.

An Xuemei, the youngest daughter of Cheng An Chengliu in Danyang County, is a well-known beauty, and in the general election eleven years ago, she was named a noble person by the current saint. Over the years, everyone knows that although An Xuemei is a nobleman, she is the person who can obtain the holy heart the most. Moreover, although she has always been gracious, she is not impetuous, nor self-assured, and she is gentle and polite to everyone, so she was named an concubine six years ago.

The reason why the Nan family bought the tea garden in Danyang County was entirely to get the favor of An Concubine. It's a pity that over the years, An Concubine has not cared about the tea and food in Danyang County, so the patience of the Nan family has also been worn out.

Xia Ruan knew the way, and the steward Wang only knew one way, but he didn't know the other way......

The Nan family saw that the saint had not spent much time with An Concubine Niangniang over the years, and thought that An Concubine was going to be left out in the cold, so they planned to sell this tea garden at a low price. But it seems so, but it is not......

In October, Concubine An will be pregnant, but the tea she wants to eat the most is from Danyang County.

In the past, as soon as the Nan family mentioned this, they would regret it.

It's a pity that this benefit fell into the hands of the Cao family at that time. It is also because of this that in the following years, the Cao family has become one of the largest merchants in Kyoto from a small merchant family, and can even stand side by side with the Nan family.

It is simply too easy for her to snatch these tea gardens in the hands of the Cao family now. Because when the Cao family bought the tea garden, they also looked at the face of the Nan family, so they reluctantly bought it back.

really responded to that sentence, there is no intention to plant flowers and flowers do not bloom, and there is no intention to plant willows and willows.

"The old slave knows that I will do this well." Steward Wang no longer persuaded Xia Ruan at this time, but nodded, "By the way, Miss, the person you asked me to find, I ......"

Before the king had finished speaking, he heard a cry outside the house.

Xia Ruan and Steward Wang got up and walked towards the outside of the house, and from a distance they heard someone shouting: "You Du Ming, who killed a thousand knives, you old thing, you quack, you actually killed my third brother." You still dare to say no, I'll kill this shameless thing......" (To be continued...... (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
