Jian Ying stood there quietly, and when Old Madam Jian finished yelling, she pressed her chest and sighed, "Grandmother, can I sit down and talk?" I haven't breastfed my baby for a day, and it's so swollen that it's like two big rocks falling, and my waist is about to break. ”

Old Madam Jian is the same in the Jian family, don't say that she loses her temper, she just snorts coldly, and the hearts and livers of several masters of the Jian family will tremble, not to mention the daughter-in-law, grandson, granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law, not to mention the others, no one dares to make a mistake in front of her.

Under her thunderous anger, like Jian Ying, who did not change her face, did not answer her questions directly, and dared to ask for a seat, it can be described as a scorpion's baba - the only one.

Mrs. Jian saw that Mrs. Jian was like someone suddenly choking her neck, her facial muscles twitched, and she couldn't answer for a while, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to play a round, "It's really uncomfortable to get milk, you can sit down and rest for a while, your family doesn't have so much courtesy." ”

"Thank you grandmother and aunt for understanding." Jian Ying said a blessing, then picked a nearby chair and sat down, and unceremoniously instructed the jade flute, "Bring me a cushion." ”

The jade flute glanced up, saw Mrs. Jian nodding, and hurriedly followed her instructions to get a thin rattan cushion and help her cushion behind her waist.

Jian Ying leaned back, adjusted her posture, and sat comfortably before turning her gaze to Old Madam Jian, whose face was cloudy, "Grandmother, don't be angry first, listen to me tell you slowly." ”

"Then you can say it quickly." Old Madam Jane said angrily.

Jian Ying answered "yes", and said concisely: "He Honglian is indeed a girl from Wanchun Building in Xuzhou, and she is indeed the down-and-out daughter of a big family. It was indeed redeemed by the merchant named Zhu Xing, but he died of illness less than half a month after redeeming it.

Not long after He Honglian died, the one in our family went in.

According to Zhu Xing, that person's eyebrows, eyes and charm are a little similar to He Honglian, so he loves the house and Wu, and takes care of that person. Wanchunlou's bustard's mother gave her the name 'Xia Hua', also to please Zhu Xing, a generous regular.

Later, he was secretly ransomed by his cousin, and the story of the two of them ended there......"

Combining the affairs of He Honglian and Xiao Liu'er, and after a little processing, it became the testimony that Zhu Xing said in court.

"How do you know the merchant surnamed Zhu?" Old Madam Jian asked sharply. Encounter on the street or something. She didn't believe a word.

Zhu Xing first got acquainted with Xiao Liu'er, who was a little similar to He Honglian, in the Qinglou, and ran into Jian Ying, who looked similar to Xiao Liu'er, when he went to Jinan Mansion. Someone here sued the royal court and needed a witness, and he happened to be in Jinan Mansion. As soon as it arrives. How can there be such a coincidence?

Of course, there are no such coincidences in the world. This wish was arranged by Jian Ying early in the morning.

Except for Jian Ying, Zhou Shu and Sister-in-law Qu herself, no one knew that she was once the eldest girl Qingmo next to the first princess Qin. Zhou Shu treated her as a sister, and naturally would not hide from her about the exchange of identities between Jian Ying and Jian Lan.

Although Zhou Shu didn't ask her to do anything. But she still took the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility of monitoring Jian Lan.

Jian Lan was even more shocked to death, she had a person by her side who would report to Jian Ying and Zhou Shu at any time, and she had never verified whether Sister-in-law Qu really couldn't speak or write, but when she was the safest and best servant, she was told to run errands from time to time.

Jian Lan sent someone to inquire about Du Jinkao's whereabouts and drew a large sum of silver from the dowry shop; Lianyi took the money to a black gambling house where she could do underground trading, and brought back a girl who claimed to be Lianyi's distant cousin and could learn other people's voices vividly;

Jian Lan hid a young man surnamed Du in the Zhuangzi in Nanshan, and took the opportunity of incense to take Lianyi and her "cousin" to meet the young man in the Zhuangzi, and then picked up an old couple surnamed Wang......

These messages reached Jian Ying's ears one after another, and she guessed what Jian Lan wanted to do. Someone wants to make a move, and there is no reason why she should not fully cooperate.

Fighting snakes and hitting seven inches, what Jian Lan is most afraid of is the exposure of the fact that she once entered the Qinglou, of course she has to start from here, so she asked Luo Yuzhu to take her portrait to Xuzhou.

Luo Yuzhu disguised himself as the son of a wealthy businessman, visited the Qinglou in Xuzhou, and finally touched the bottom of Xiao Liu'er in Wanchun Building, and got acquainted with Zhu Xing, who had a relationship with Xiao Liu'er.

This Zhu Xing is a strange person, if you want to say that he is not lustful, he will soak in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion whenever he has time, linger in the flowers, and spend a lot of money to buy a certain girl a smile and other things have been done many times;

Let's say he's lustful, he laughs with many girls ~ ambiguously, but he has never really had an affair with any of them. There are also many girls who suspect that he is suffering from a hidden disease, but his family has a group of children, and there are three sons and two daughters in the main room, which makes this rumor self-defeating.

Even his feelings for Nahe Honglian are far less deep than he shows. Otherwise, how could he easily agree to Luo Yuzhu's condition that he would testify in court one day for the sake of a business opportunity?

Seeing him play freely in the court, telling fictional stories, and smearing He Honglian, he did not hesitate at all.

If you ask what kind of business opportunity is it, can a businessman who seeks profit and avoid harm be willing to risk committing the great crime of deceiving the king and lying and falsifying in front of the saint? To put it bluntly, it's not a big deal.

This Zhuxing is engaged in the silk cotton business, buying a large number of cotton and silk in the place, and then selling it into large, medium and small silk weaving workshops respectively. The Jiangnan area is rich in silk, and there are countless peers, and the competition is quite fierce.

Zhu Xing can gain a foothold in this industry, relying on the reputation and extensive contacts accumulated by the Zhu family for generations. Of course, it also has a lot to do with his own diligence, sharp mind, broad vision, and ability to quickly and accurately grasp business opportunities.

In the past ten years, the Jiangnan generation has been in a state of good weather, silk cotton production is extremely abundant, oversupply, the market has been saturated for a long time, and the price has been reduced again and again. Chen Mian Chen Silk is not valuable, it cannot be hoarded like other goods, and it must be purchased and sold immediately, which means that a large amount of working capital is required to operate.

The price has dropped, the funds are insufficient, and naturally there is no way to make a move.

For businessmen, less is a loss. Rao is a big businessman with a strong family background and strength, and he can't afford to lose money year after year. Doing business is also like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, he will harvest a pound of cotton less on his side, and someone over there will immediately go up. As a result, business is becoming more and more difficult, and the Zhujia Commercial Hall has gone downhill uncontrollably.

Out of a long-term plan, he weighed it again and again and decided to gradually withdraw from the silk cotton trade and open up other business routes.

Just when he was hesitant and didn't know where to start, he met Luo Yuzhu, so he moved the idea of opening a restaurant.
