Chapter 173: Chance

Xia Mei looked at the young man in front of her with a straight face.

When they met before, the other party's face was full of depravity, and his eyes were with a trace of unwillingness, a trace of despair, and even a trace of resentment, but now looking at it, it is completely different.

In the past, the coarse linen shirt was replaced by a splendid Confucian robe, which was clean and dusty, and the black hair stood up neatly, handsome and unparalleled. The eyebrows and eyes are gentle and elegant, and the whole person exudes a brilliant color.

Xia Mei's eyes exuded surprise, she hadn't seen her for a few months, this person was completely like a different person, if the other party didn't identify herself, she would never recognize it, this was the poor scholar who was desperate at that time and relied on selling land to make a living.

Now it seems that the other party should have had an encounter to be what he is today, but why did he come to the door again to thank her?

Puzzled in her heart, Xia Mei asked directly, thinking that they should not have any conflicts of interest, and there is no need to beat around the bush.

"I don't know when the little woman helped the child? It frightened the little woman. ”

Xia Mei gently pulled up a strand of hair on her cheeks, pinned it to the back of her head, and asked with a faint smile, this scholar seems to have a bit of vision, Xia Mei is naturally a little more polite, and her words are quite gentle.

Chen Langsheng chuckled gently, but his tone was more sincere and gentle, "Mrs. Xia, don't be so polite, it's really a little embarrassing." ”

Xia Mei smiled but did not speak, a wordless atmosphere flowed between the two, smart people communicate, relying on aura.

Chen Langsheng didn't sell it, and began to tell the story: "Mrs. Xia doesn't know, if you hadn't bought me so much grain that day, there would be no Chen today." ”

Talking about the past, Chen Langsheng's tone couldn't help but become nostalgic, and with a hint of embarrassment, "On that day, Madam, you sold me so much food, Chen Mou knew it." Not to mention how much ten acres of land can be exchanged for, the type of grain is set by you, Mrs. Xia. ”

"What you exchanged for Chen that day was all able to fill your stomach. and the grain that does not occupy the catty, which also led Chen to pull home several carts of grain. ”

"These grains, you advised me not to sell them to others at that time, I was ashamed to say that Chen was almost confused for a while. was blinded by wealth, but when I remembered that you also sent a few brothers to escort me back, this friendship, this sincerity, Chen Mou should not be disappointed. ”

"So......" A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Langsheng's eyes, "After a few months of heavy rain, everyone did not store grain, and then Chen realized that if I sold food, I would only starve to death at this moment." ”

Keep your head up. Chen Langsheng's eyes surged violently, and he looked at Xia Mei with unprecedented excitement, which was because of the joy of escaping death, a shock for the rest of his life.

"Chen also has three younger brothers in the family, both parents died, it is very ashamed to say, these years, Chen has been obsessed with taking the examination for fame, relying on a few young brothers to do work to support," said here. Chen Langsheng's feelings calmed down, and a look of shame appeared on his face.

At that time, Chen suddenly woke up, Mrs. Xia, you asked Chen not to sell the grain early. It's the moment I've been waiting for! In Chen's life, it seems that he has no chance of fame, and Chen's death is not a pity, but his younger brothers are the responsibility that Chen cannot shirk when he dies! ”

Xia Mei raised her eyebrows lightly, and continued to listen to Chen Langsheng's narration quietly.

So Chen started selling grain. Fortunately, Mrs. Xia, your kindness, Chen and several younger brothers have not eaten much of that grain for several months, and now they are starting to sell grain, which is a great opportunity! ”

Speaking of this, Chen Langsheng's eyes were shining with light, Xia Mei's eyes were slightly cold, she pursed her lips, and finally didn't say anything.

Chen Langsheng still continued: "But Chen is not a black-hearted person, the people in the village, although he ......" He paused slightly, and Xia Mei also guessed what it was, in this era, he can't afford to be famous and has always refused to give up, and his reputation is not very good.

"But everyone has always been very good to their younger brothers, so Chen sold the grain to the people in the village at the original price outside."

"At this time, the silver taels in Chen's hands were enough to support me and my younger brothers for some time, but Chen saw another business opportunity."

"Because of the rainy season this year, the cotton harvest in the south is bleak, and it has become more difficult and difficult to transport, so the price of cotton cloth in Qingshan Town and several nearby cities is several times higher than in previous years!"

A hint of clarity flashed in Xia Mei's eyes, it seems that this person has started the textile industry.

"In Chen's hand, there happened to be cotton given by Mrs. Xia, the amount is very large, I can't hide it, Chen's ancestral business is weaving and dyeing cloth, but when I came here, it was broken, but several younger brothers in the family are proficient in this way."

Coincidentally, at this time, Chen met his former classmates, and now he ...... is already a local official, and with his support, Chen quickly obtained channels, and with the silver tael, the successful Yongcheng has a foothold. ”

At this point in the story, it can be regarded as clear, Xia Mei also understands why the other party's love is excited, indeed, this experience is really thrilling, twists and turns, but there is finally a good ending.

Looking at the other party's current appearance, I think that in Yongcheng, it is not what he said, there is only a place, because she remembers that at that time, she gave not only cotton, but also cotton seeds.

However, "Chen Gongzi's experience is really embarrassing, just in response to that sentence, life is like a play, it all depends on luck, this is Chen Gongzi's auspicious nature, luck is caused, Chen Gongzi should have today's achievements, and the little woman, but there is no half of the relationship." ”

Xia Mei smiled faintly, judging from what happened to this person, it was just the other party's own cause and effect, if he didn't seize every opportunity, if there was no classmate who was willing to help him, if there were no younger brothers who happened to be good at this, he would definitely not have today's situation.

Therefore, this qiē is just his own blessing, just like what he said in his previous life, God closed a door for you, and naturally opened a window for you.

When Chen Langsheng heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly denied it: "Mrs. Xia, don't say that, Chen can have today, thanks to Mrs. Xia's kindness that day, Chen Mou came here to thank you today, and please Mrs. Xia don't refuse!" ”

Xia Mei chuckled helplessly: "Chen Gongzi, I have already said that everything is caused by your own fate, and it has nothing to do with the little woman, if Chen Gongzi really can't let go." Then the little woman took it. ”

The implication is that you can leave after saying thank you.

Unexpectedly, Chen Langsheng was even more eager. The anxious face of the young man was red, and he was still not good at this kind of interpersonal relationship, so he was speechless for a while.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, Chen Langsheng simply took out a few pieces of paper in his arms and slapped them on the table. Finding that Xia Mei looked at him with horror, Chen Langsheng's face turned red again, and he took a deep breath before slowly calming down.

A little embarrassed sneered, "Uh...... Mrs. Xia, I ...... I don't mean anything else, Chen came here today just because I heard, Mrs. Xia, you...... Look for shops in nearby castles. ”

Xia Mei was stunned, "How do you know?" ”

Chen Langsheng's face turned red abnormally, and his eyes drifted for a moment. "Hmm...... Chen once met Wen Hao and Han Bo by chance, so he knew ......"

Xia Mei looked at the paper on the table and asked lightly, "Then Chen Gongzi came here this time...... Is it for this? ”

Chen Langsheng smiled mildly and said, "Mrs. Xia, if you don't dislike it, please accept a certain amount of Chen's heart!" ”

Looking at the other party's handsome and gentle eyebrows, and a white Confucian shirt, Xia Mei frowned unconsciously.

"Chen Gongzi's kindness, I understand it, I don't hide it, now Tianfu does have plans to open branches in nearby towns. Looking for the right pavement. ”

"If these stores are suitable, I will buy them from Chen Gongzi at the original price, which can be regarded as a great favor to Tianfu."

Chen Langsheng was about to continue to refute, but Xia Mei raised her hand to stop him. "Chen Gongzi, I have already made it very clear, Chen Gongzi doesn't have to wander, sometimes there must be a fate, and there is no time to force it."

"It's yours, it's yours after all. Can't run away. ”

A few words with a little deep meaning fell on Chen Langsheng's ears, but they were like thunder, and his face instantly turned pale.

Xia Mei glanced at him, hooked the corners of her lips meaninglessly, stood up, summoned Liu Quan, copied the addresses of these houses, and then found someone to send them to Wen Hao.

Chen Langsheng, who was stunned in place for a moment, seemed to have a new look, and after the knot in his heart was put down, the whole person became more restrained and peaceful, looking at Xia Mei's gaze, it became deep and difficult to distinguish.

"Chen, thank you Mrs. Xia for your kindness."

Deeply bowed to Xia Meiji, Chen Langsheng straightened up, took the title deed back into his arms, nodded to Xia Mei and said, "If Mrs. Xia is satisfied, she can come to Yongcheng Langyue Pavilion to find me at any time." Chen took his leave. ”

Xia Mei bowed her head, and Chen Langsheng stepped out of the restaurant without looking back, his back straightened.

Liu Quan saw the other party walk out, then ran to Xia Mei's side, and asked with a confused expression, "Mrs. Xia, what is this person here for?" How does it look like ...... Hurry up to deliver the shop?! ”

Xia Meiwan'er turned her head and patted Liu Quan's shoulder, but did not speak, and walked back to the kitchen calmly, leaving Liu Quan in place with an inexplicable expression.

When people's fate fluctuates, changes in mood always lead to personality changes, and Chen Langsheng is like this, he was forced to give up his original character due to the responsibility of supporting his younger brothers, and created a world that he had never been in contact with.

Luckily, he succeeded, and the bad thing about this situation is that it will make him doubt and reject his life for more than 20 years, and fall into a situation of entanglement and struggle.

Subconsciously, he attributed the cause of a qiē to the person who caused the change in the first place, that is, Xia Mei.

He thinks that it is because of Xia Mei's actions that he has the current situation, to put it bluntly, if he does not succeed today, then Xia Mei must be another image in his eyes.

In Xia Mei's opinion, there are very few such people, but it is not nothing, as she said, maybe this is the real turning point in the other party's life, who said that scholars can't do business? The other party's means and thoughts, I'm afraid they won't lose to anyone!

Wealth is in danger, all wealth is accompanied by crisis, in such a barren and chaotic year, this man has achieved such a situation, it is impossible not to say that his life is like this.

Chen Langsheng left, and Xia Mei left him behind, waiting for the news from Wen Hao's side to come and then discuss.

Now, Xia Mei is obsessed with studying new methods of potatoes, and finally, she can make all the potato-related foods in her mind without any scruples, even eagerly.

In this way, everyone in Tianfu Restaurant and Wu's small courtyard once again recalled the painful memories of a period of time before, when the dinner table was full of potatoes, and this time it was even more ferocious.

However, this time, it seemed that even Tang Bao's complaints couldn't stop Xia Mei's determination, and after immersing herself in potatoes all day long, Wu Song began to feel that his wife had a smell of potatoes.

Sleeping with it every night is like holding a potato, and my heart is really ......

Although the post-disaster reconstruction is difficult, the people who have survived the disaster are more united, because only after experiencing despair will they know how beautiful hope is.

The old village chief left, Xia Mei and Wu Song went to worship again in the first seven days, only the second child of the village chief's family became the village chief, and the second uncle of the Li family is an old man who has lived for three generations in the village.

After all, although the village chief is an official and has some rights, it is really not a good errand, which family has a dispute, which family has lost something, these trivial things will always make trouble to the village chief, which is really annoying.

Therefore, the second child of the Li family should have become the new village chief, just because the second child of the Li family is burly and amazing, and ordinary young men dare not cause trouble in the village, but Dashan Village has become more harmonious.

Xia Mei kept people in each village and took care of the fields, after all, each village was still so far apart, if there was something, it would be too late to stop it for a while, of course, someone would have to stay there to watch.

Speaking of which, this matter is still thanks to the help of the new village head, Li Sheng.

Because when the old village chief was dying, he also explained that what Xia Mei planned must be extraordinary, if it is good, it will definitely not lack the benefits of Dashan Village, so that Li Sheng can help her family well, and there will be a reward.

Therefore, when Li Sheng knew Xia Mei's difficulties, he took the initiative to communicate with the village chiefs of various villages, wanting to find a reliable person in the village and earn Xia Mei, or the silver of Yaowang Valley.

First, because the reputation of the Medicine King Valley is too great, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is all out of reach, and when they hear such a thing, they reflexively want to help.

Moreover, Xia Mei had also met with various village chiefs before for the fungus, and the fungus had brought a certain amount of income to everyone, so Xia Mei's favorability was also good, so this matter was done smoothly.

Xia Mei was naturally overjoyed, she naturally knew the reason why Li Sheng did this, but now, she couldn't say anything about refusal.

Let's look at fate in the future! (To be continued.) )
