20. 020: Win

As soon as Zhao Nanke entered the courtyard, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

Which play are you going to play today?

Over the years, in the eyes of outsiders, he is the eldest son of the Zhao family, and he has the support of his mother's family, and among the children of those families, he speaks loudly enough.

It's just that how can outsiders know about those things in the house.

His grandfather was also kind back then, and he found half of the Zhao family's property for him, and sent him to the second girl of the Zhao family to be raised.

However, this gentle second aunt has never treated him intimately.

He always understood that the second aunt's willingness to keep him by his side was premeditated.

In the past, it was for the half of the Zhao family's property in his hands. But now it is......

The second cousin, Xia Qingya, has a brown birthmark the size of a baby's palm on her face, and it is impossible to marry a good family. But how could my aunt bear to let her second cousin marry into an ordinary family? So these days, the second aunt has been praising how good the second cousin is in front of him, and hopes to kiss and kiss, which actually means that he will marry Xia Qingya.

Zhao Nanke raised the corners of his lips, the second aunt really wouldn't be ashamed to lie, did he really think he was a person with no beads? Even if Xia Qingya didn't have a birthmark on his face, he wouldn't marry Xia Qingya. The wife he wanted was never a selfish, rude person.

"Young Master, there's a message from Danyang County." Chen Qidao, the little guy standing next to Zhao Nanke.

Zhao Nanke retracted his senses, looked at Chen Qi, and smiled slightly: "How?" Is there any money for cotton prices to rise? ”

"Young Master, this ......" Chen Qi's face was a little embarrassed.

Zhao Nanke raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was still flat: "Tell the truth." ”

Chen Qi lowered his head slightly, his face was a little pale: "The price, it's half less." The shopkeeper in the shop said that the price would continue to be reduced. ”

As soon as these words entered his ears, Zhao Nanke subconsciously blurted out: "What are you doing?" Isn't it going up all the time? ”

Zhao Nanke's voice was not stern, but it made Chen Qi feel that he was in a cold sweat all over his body, "The heavy snow has blocked the road." Cotton from Huai'an, Huainan, and Jiangcheng could not be shipped out in time. I don't know who rumored that the nobles in the capital and even the palace want cotton, in fact, it is said that this year's cotton harvest is good, but it is actually a pretense. ”

Zhao Nanke was stunned for a while before revealing a wry smile. What he had always taken seriously was nothing more than a rumor?

"Young Master, don't worry. A few days ago, I listened to the young master's instructions and sold a large part of the cotton in my hand. I didn't lose money, but I made less money. After Chen Qi finished speaking, he didn't dare to gasp.

It's just that Chen Qi didn't understand, a few days ago, the young master suddenly told him why he would sell a large part of the cotton in his hand, and he thought that the young master was stupid. Fortunately, God blessed, he listened to the young master's words and sold cotton. At the end of the year, there was still a small amount of cotton left in his hand, and he didn't lose a cent of silver, but he also made some money.

Zhao Nanke heard that there seemed to be some movement in the room, so he replied softly: "I know the way, go down." Don't sell the rest of the cotton, put it away, I'll have a good place. ”

Chen Qi nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "The little one knows it." ”

After Zhao Nanke waited for Chen Qi to leave, he walked towards the house, just a few steps. I heard a woman's aggrieved and low crying voice from inside the room.

It seems that I forgot to close the window today, and the house is not as quiet as usual. Seeing that it was time for lunch, if it was left as usual. The second aunt had already started complaining through the window, saying that she was a miserable person. The family is in embarrassment, and they still pull him with one hand, give him food and drink, but now they don't recognize her when they are older...... and so on.

But he waited outside the hospital for a while, and he didn't see the second aunt's voice coming, what's the matter?

Zhao Nanke took a few steps closer and heard a voice from inside the house.

"Cry, do you still have the face to cry? Zhao Erya, I was killed by you. Xia Fugui's voice was low but anxious, and he seemed to be trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart, "Do you know the truth?" A few days ago, the price of cotton quadrupled, quadruple, and it was all silver. What did you tell me at the beginning, you said that this cotton harvest is good this year, and it will definitely not be sold at a good price. I listened to you, and sold the cotton in my hand cheaply, and I lost a thousand taels of silver. But now, now......"

Zhao cried miserably and shook his head all the time: "Master, how did I know that the price of cotton would rise." During that time, Shopkeeper Xue was selling the cotton in his hand cheaply, wasn't it for your good? Since I got married, I have been by my lord's side wholeheartedly, and what I do is for myself, and now when my lord says these words, isn't he poking me in the heart with a knife? ”

"Humph!" Xia Fugui snorted coldly, and then said disdainfully: "I have been in Danyang for more than half a year, and I have worked hard day and night to harvest cotton. Is it for myself? I just want to make my family's life better. It's good for you, there is a mother-in-law waiting at home, and a maid ring to follow you when you go out. Yilai stretched out his hand to eat and opened his mouth, and now he still tells me about his grievances. You can't wait for me to be like my unproductive second brother, all day long in Flower Street, you are satisfied, don't you? ”

"Master, who told me that husband and wife are one, and wanted me to be a good wife. As a result, I instigated my second brother to make his house discordant, and let my second brother go to Flower Street. Now, you're talking about mine again, aren't you? Zhao Shi's anger trembled, and his face was full of tears, "I am much better in the Zhao family than in the Xia family." Although Nan Ke calls me his second aunt now, in Nan Ke's eyes, I am equal to his mother and is the person he trusts the most. When he heard this, Zhao Nanke almost laughed.

His mother-in-law is Miss Song. When the second aunt said this, she was not afraid of flashing her tongue.

In the past, the second aunt also said so. He never answered, at first he didn't know how to answer, and finally he didn't bother to answer.

The room was quiet for a while, and then Xia Fugui's low voice came: "I don't quarrel with you." But this matter must be your fault, if it wasn't for you saying those words by my side, I would never sell the cotton in my hand easily. If you don't make a deal with me, we'll be the same as ever. ”

Zhao Nanke was dumbfounded.

That's it?

He always thought that his second uncle was a powerful character, but now it seems that he is just like his second aunt, although he peeks at the family property in his hand, he is a person who doesn't like to use his brains.

"Isn't it a loss? Xia Fugui, how many did I pay you? I told you a long time ago, I don't blame me for this, it was Xia Ruan's little cheap hooves who talked nonsense in front of me, and I fell in love with her. Zhao gritted his teeth, "But you don't believe me." You say I don't like that little on weekdays, and make excuses to excuse myself. Did you really believe me? The other day I suspected that I was in my stomach...... You, don't you want me to pay this time, no way. ”

Zhao Nanke heard the movement in the room and became loud again, and he was afraid that his second uncle was going to force him to leave, so he turned around and left.

Although this lunch has not yet entered his stomach, the news he heard today has made him need some time to 'digest'.

It's just that Zhao Nanke didn't understand why the second aunt would mention Xia Ruan. In the past, the second aunt always disdained to put the name Xia Ruan on her lips.

Zhao Nanke smiled, this matter seems to be getting more and more interesting.
