Chapter 142: Cooperation? Not cooperative
After breakfast, Min'er went to the workshop to be busy, and Ling'er went to the study to look for books when she was bored, but found that the drawer under the desk was half-hidden. Ling'er opened it casually and saw a torn letter inside, and out of curiosity, she carefully pieced together the letter piece by piece, and looked at it seriously. It turned out that this was Yi Junan's letter, it seems that this letter was sent before his wedding, and the above means that his wedding was just an expedient measure, so Min'er waited patiently. After reading it, Ling'er really wanted to open Yi Junan's head to see if it was paste? Who does he think he is? I take myself too seriously.
"What are you doing, your brows are about to squeeze together." Min'er came to the study and saw Ling'er frowning at the table and said.
"Uh, sister, you're back." Ling'er was startled, and after reacting, she hurriedly went to collect the letter, who would have thought that the shredded paper she collected fell to the ground.
"Sister, I didn't mean to, I ......" Ling'er really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, and it was really embarrassing.
"Look at you like that, if there is anything we sisters can't say, just watch it. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to be angry, and I forgot about it when I wanted to throw it away. Seeing Ling'er's embarrassed look, Min'er felt a little reluctant, how could she blame her, she also cared about herself to be like this.
"Sister, I'm sorry, I won't be like this in the future, I'm really not a heart." Ling'er felt that her face was about to burn through.
"You girl, it's nothing, okay, clean up." Min'er feigned anger, and Ling'er immediately put away the paper. Min'er took out the fire folds and burned them to ashes.
"Sister, have you really let go?" Ling'er couldn't help but ask.
"What else can't be put down? Where has he been all this time? What am I going to do with a man who can't protect our mother and child? The disappointments wiped out all of Min'er's emotions, but Min'er didn't hate him because he gave her such a good son.
"Sister......" Ling'er didn't know what to say to make Min'er's heart feel better. I could only hold her and tell her with my actions that I would never leave her.
"Silly girl, do you think my sister is still the same fool back then? Sister knows what you're worried about, don't worry, sister knows it. Min'er knew that Ling'er was afraid that she would be sad for Yi Jun'an, but in fact, it was this letter that made her really recognize the facts, and she really figured it out after reading the letter.
"Boss, the car sent by the mayor is here." Zhao Ping's voice sounded from outside the door, making Ling'er swallow back the words that came to his mouth.
"Got it. I'll go as soon as I'm ready. Min'er and Ling'er went back to their rooms and changed into the clothes of the guests, and then followed the mayor's carriage to the meeting house in Baihua Town.
After not coming back for a few years, Ling'er found that the town had changed a lot, and the streets had widened. There are also more carriages on the road. I didn't expect this Mayor Ma to really have some ability, and it has only been a few years since there have been such changes in Birch Town.
"Sister, is the business in the town easy now?" Ling'er asked.
"It's better than before, isn't it trade again? When there are more people, business will naturally be easier. Min'er didn't say much. In fact, their workshop and shop can earn thousands of taels a month, but this kind of thing can't be said in an outsider's carriage.
"It seems that our choice is not wrong, sister, you can also go back to Fengtai with me in a few days, I am alone over there." I don't know if it was because of the disturbing letter, Ling'er's mood was a little low.
"It's useless, when you go back, Sima Chen will stay in the palace. Will you be lonely then? I think you're too busy to pay attention to me. I still like to stay here, anyway, this is my home. It's comfortable to stay here. Min'er has a very strong sense of hometown for Hongsongtun, and Ling'er didn't say much when she saw her.
Ma Yiqian had been waiting in the private room for a long time, and when the sisters arrived, they found that there was an unknown person who came today, who was about forty years old. He was white and chubby, with a kind smile on his face, and looked like a kind old grandfather, but Ling'er caught a flash of essence in his eyes. This person is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, and after exchanging a look with Min'er without a trace, the two sisters saluted and sat down.
After Ma Yiqian's introduction, this person turned out to be Wang Xianzhong, the master of Wu Qishan, the magistrate of Pingyi County, his name Ling'er is not unfamiliar, she heard about him when she was in Pingyi County, but she has never had the opportunity to meet. Most of the rumors about him say that he is only five cars rich and righteous or something.
"I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet the long-famous Master Wang today, it's really worth the trip." Min'er also heard a little about him.
"Zhao is polite, it is a great fortune for the old man to see him today, and I would like to thank Mayor Ma for this." As he spoke, he toasted Ma Yiqian with a glass of wine, and Ling'er noticed the small movements between them and knew that they were about to start talking about the topic.
"I'm inviting you here today, it's really Ma who is in trouble and wants to ask you to help think of ideas." Ma Yiqian really led to the topic as Ling'er expected.
"Mayor Ma asked Master Wang to find a way, which is a wise move, but my sisters don't have that talent, don't make a mistake for you." Min'er laughed at herself, she knew that this Ma Yiqian must be for the sake of worry-free wine, but she didn't know what his purpose was.
"Don't be polite Zhao Dangjia, other things may not work, but you are really the only one who can help with this matter." Ma Yiqian said with a smile, the death order given to him by his brother-in-law also dispatched Master Wang, so it must be done.
"Mayor Ma still has something to say, our sisters were born in a farming family since childhood......" Min'er deliberately didn't finish her words, and Ma Yiqian naturally heard Min'er's extraneous voice.
"Hehe, Zhao Dangjia is too arrogant, the old man has heard about your sisters' deeds in Pingyi." Master Wang said with a smile, Ling'er always felt that he was just smiling, as if he was wearing a mask.
"Master Wang is really good at talking, our sisters don't have any so-called deeds, just to do some business for their livelihood." Min'er didn't like this Master Wang from the bottom of her heart, and intuitively thought that he was dangerous.
"Mayor Ma hasn't said what your trouble is?" Ling'er brought the conversation over.
"Alas, I'm ashamed to say it, it's still this worry-free wine thing." Ma Yiqian pretended to be embarrassed, how funny Min'er looked, they must have made a plan, and they just came to inform her.
"Zhao Dangjia, speaking of which, this wine is really a treasure for the benefit of the country and the people, there are only two wineries in the entire Dafeng Dynasty, I am afraid that the supply is in short supply." Ma Yiqian saw that no one was talking to him, so he had to continue by himself.
"It's natural, but it's not what we say." Ling'er hurriedly talked about the next, if she guessed correctly, they must cooperate with them to open a wine shop.
"Why did Miss Ling say that?" When Master Wang heard what he said, he hurriedly asked, could it be that something is going to go wrong with this nailed matter?
"Presumably the two of you should know about the Weiwang Mansion in Fengtai County, right?" At this time, Ling'er could only pull Sima Chen out, otherwise they would not be able to suppress the county magistrate.
"This is natural, this matter must be known to everyone in our Dafeng Dynasty." Master Wang realized the seriousness of the problem, this Sima Chen was a figure who could not afford to offend.
"King Wei has spoken, he said that after he is canonized, he will start to build a special worry-free winery, so even if we have a hundred hearts, we don't dare to move a bit." Anyway, they couldn't have the courage to ask Sima Chen, Ling'er could say it boldly with confidence.
Ling'er's words couldn't be clearer, which made Ma Yiqian and Master Wang unable to say the prepared words, they could only gossip and other things, and everyone was a little unsavory after a meal. However, the atmosphere is still quite harmonious, and it can be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts, as for the heart under the surface, it is unknown.
Master Wang and Mayor Ma sent their sisters to Wangjiatun's uncle's house in person, and on the way back to the town, Master Wang and Mayor Ma's faces were not so good-looking. But Min'er and Ling'er are in a different mood, they don't have the kung fu to care about how they deal with each other, as long as they don't beat their minds.
The scene of the relatives meeting was naturally very exciting, and the aunt Qian kept holding Ling'er's hand, touching her head for a while, and touching her face for a while.
"Ling'er girl, you are ruthless, this walk is all these years." Talking about crying again, these two children's lives are miserable, and they never stop.
"Auntie, stop crying, your eyes will be broken." Min'er comforted, her eyes were getting worse and worse now.
"Yes, aunt, I will come back to see you often in the future." Ling'er also found out that the Qian family was much older than a few years ago, and it seemed that Min'er was right, and her body bones had deteriorated.
"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, how can you come back from such a distant place? We're thinking about you every day when you're alone, and if there's something going on, we don't even have anyone to talk to. Qian's words moved Ling'er very much, this is a relative.
"Who am I, I'll find my eldest cousin if I have something, he has helped me a lot over the years." Ling'er did not hesitate to sell Wang Jizu.
"What? Your eldest cousin is in Fengtai County? This little rabbit cub didn't say a message to the family. The uncle jumped up all of a sudden, and the little tiger of the second cousin's family was scared and cried.
"Hurry up and take the child to the house, what are you shouting about you dead old man, if you frighten the tiger and see how I will treat you." Qian was so angry that he glared at his old man.
"I didn't mean to, but if a boy can say that he is scared, he will be scared. Ling'er, tell me about your eldest cousin, this little rabbit cub has a wolf heart. Uncle hurriedly changed the topic, his status at home has become lower and lower in recent years, and this old woman is getting old and angry.
"The eldest cousin is not a wolf, he is mainly afraid that you will force him to marry......" Ling'er told her uncle and aunt everything about Wang Jizu word for word, she felt that it was better to tell the truth than to let them worry blindly. (To be continued......)
