At the beginning, when the incident in Shunzhou happened, Han Yunqian reminded his grandfather, Mrs. Han, but Mrs. Han didn't pay much attention to it at that time. In the past few years, the Han family's reputation in Yanbei has been okay, and they have not made any other enemies, and now they are on the momentum, and the Yun family is about to get married, and the old lady Han only thinks that the Lei family is secretly making trouble, and the Han family has done this kind of thing to the Lei family.

After the problem with the salt well in the northwest, although Han Yunqian had doubts in his heart, he didn't mention it to his grandfather for some reason.

But then, the Han family had several business failures.

The Yun family originally married the Han family, so they intended to use the Han family's business identity to cooperate with the two families to achieve a win-win situation. But the head of the Yun family is also an extremely cautious person, and when there were problems one after another on the Han family's side, and the Yun family also suffered some losses, the Yun family was also alert, and at the same time, they were surprised in their hearts.

Obviously, someone is targeting the Han family in the dark, but now the Han family and the Yun family are tied to the same boat, as the saying goes, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, there are not a few families in Yanbei who dare to directly confront the Yun family, even if it is the head of the Lei family, Lei Ting, has to give the old man Yun a few thin noodles, and he will not be so ruthless to pit the Yun family and the Han family, with the current strength of the Lei family, even if Lei Ting has this ambition, he does not have this ability.

So who is behind this......

Even the well-informed Old Man Yun broke out in a cold sweat the more he thought about it.

Yun Wenting, the eldest young master of the Yun family, also noticed that this matter was unusual early on, and he advocated waiting and seeing the changes first. After careful consideration, the old man Yun postponed the cooperation with the Han family before.

If it's an ordinary person. may be shocked and have to break the marriage contract with the other party cleanly, but fortunately, the Yun family is not an ordinary family. Yun Wenting, the eldest young master of the Yun family, and Han Yunqian are still close friends, and the Yun family has no intention of dissociating themselves from the Han family. It's just not about cooperation.

However, the momentum of the Han family's previous rapid development slowed down because of the Yun family's caution.

After the old lady Han came back to his senses, he also kept looking for the reason, wanting to know who was secretly targeting the Han family, but found nothing. The people behind it find opportunities to respond to the Han family from time to time, so that the Han family suffers a small loss, and even the people who have business dealings with the Han family are also unlucky. But the person behind it doesn't kill for some reason, obviously sometimes he can do it more ruthlessly, just like playing the Han family as a monkey, but the more this happens, the more scrupulous it is.

Old lady Han didn't realize it at this time, and the hand behind him played with him in the same way as when he played the Ren family. Now feng shui takes turns, but he is not ruthless.

In this way, until one day, another in-law of the Han family, the Jiang family, came, and it was Jiang Qianniang, the sixth lady of the Jiang family. Jiang Qianniang's father, Jiang Yan, became the head of the Jiang family in the last Jiang family infighting, and he himself is also a person with means, so he quickly sat firmly in the position of the patriarch.

Miss Jiang Liu came to live at her aunt's house this time, that is, the Han family. Her aunt Jiang married the eldest master of the Han family as a continuation.

Jiang was also a little surprised by the arrival of Miss Jiang Liu, although Jiang was Jiang Qianniang's aunt, Jiang Qianniang's father and her were only cousins. And the age difference is more than ten years, and the relationship is not far away on weekdays.

So she didn't expect that Jiang Qianniang, who had little contact with her, would come from Shunzhou to visit her.

However, Jiang is a smart and shrewd woman, and she knows that the current Jiang family is in charge, since Jiang Qianniang said that she came to see her. When facing this niece, she showed affection, and deliberately went to the second gate to pick up people, and outsiders thought how close the relationship between the two aunts and nephews was.

In fact, Jiang and Jiang Qianniang are not familiar with each other. On the contrary, the relationship with Miss Jiang Ba and Jiang Yuanniang is more intimate, because she lived with Jiang Yuanniang in a small building when she was not married. The aunt and nephew had nothing to do, and they were still embroidering and embroidering together, talking and passing the time, and the Jiang family was still the second room at that time. But the shrewd Jiang will not let go of this opportunity to get closer to Dafang.

After entering the Han family and meeting the elders of the Han family, the aunt and nephew talked about the old days behind closed doors for an hour, and no one knew what they were talking about, but there was constant laughter coming out of the house, and it sounded like they were talking happily. When the two came out of the house to eat, Jiang's eyes were slightly red.

Jiang Qianniang stayed at Han's house for one night, and on the second day, she said that she was going to meet a few friends she had met in Yunyang City before, and the first one to visit was Ren Yaoqi, a young lady of the Ren family who married into Yanbei Wangfu.

After Jiang Qianniang and the Jiang family left, Han Yunqian asked Han You thoughtfully: "Is Miss Jiang Family Sixth familiar with the young lady of the Xiao family?" ”

Han You thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Knowing is knowing, but it shouldn't be too familiar, right?" Speaking of which, the two young ladies of the Jiang family and the young lady of the Yun family should be familiar with each other. After Han You finished speaking, he glanced at Han Yunqian.

Han Yunqian didn't care, just frowned and pondered.

Ren Yaoqi was not very surprised when she learned that Mrs. Han and Jiang Qianniang had handed over the post to Yanbei Wangfu to visit her, so she let them wait outside for a while before being led into the small flower hall where she was a guest.

Xiao Jingxi's Zhaoning Hall has never received idle people, etc., and Ren Yaoqi rarely sees guests in the Zhaoning Palace, and generally uses the Yingya Pavilion in front of the Zhaoning Palace. Yingya Pavilion is not a big place, it used to be vacant, after Ren Yaoqi married into the Yanbei Palace, let people clean up inside, and the big flower hall was used to meet foreign guests.

When Ren Yao's period passed, Jiang and Jiang Qianniang had already used up half of the tea.

"I've seen the young lady." Jiang Shi and Jiang Qianniang hurriedly got up and saluted.

Ren Yaoqi held the Jiang family closest to her and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, please sit." It's been a little late, so don't be surprised. ”

Jiang Qianniang said with a smile: "The young lady is serious, you can come to see me and my aunt, it already gives us a lot of face." ”

Ren Yaochi glanced at Jiang Qianniang with a smile, Jiang Qianniang had a good appearance, and she had a bookish atmosphere from a scholarly family, which could make people have a good impression of her, but Ren Yaochi knew that this girl was not as harmless as she seemed on the surface, on the contrary, she was very powerful.

Jiang is a full disc face, willow leaves and curved eyebrows, although the appearance is not as outstanding as Jiang Qianniang and Jiang Yuanniang, but it also has the same snow skin as the Jiang family girl, which is very good-looking. It was the first time for Ren Yaoqi to have close contact with Jiang, and his first impression was not bad.

Jiang Qianniang is also secretly looking at Ren Yaoqi, compared to the last time they met, Ren Yaoqi's appearance is more outstanding, although it is not her sister Ren Yaohua's dazzling beauty, but she has a kind of elegance that makes people can't take her eyes off her body, and her temperament is particularly outstanding.

On the surface, Jiang Qianniang is visiting friends today, but everyone here understands in their hearts that Ren Yaochi and Jiang Qianniang do not have any personal relationship, and Ren Yaoqi can also ignore their sudden request to see her. But no one here mentioned it.

After chatting about the specialties she brought from Shunzhou this time, Jiang Qianniang said apologetically: "Actually, it's a bit abrupt for us to come uninvited today, and please don't blame the young lady." ”

Ren Yaoqi raised his eyes and smiled slightly, but he didn't answer, waiting for Jiang Qianniang to say the following.

Jiang Qianniang pondered for a moment, glanced at the Jiang family, and then sighed and said: "Our Jiang family has opened an academy in Shunzhou since the beginning of Gaozu's decision in Shunzhou. ”

Ren Yaoqi bowed: "The Jiang Family Academy is indeed one of the best academies in Yanbei. ”

Jiang Qianniang smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Yes, but this is only the surface scenery." The first article of my Jiang family's ancestral teaching, all the descendants of the Jiang family are not allowed to engage in business, but the Jiang family's clan land and most of the family's property are only passed on to the eldest son of the long house, and the rest of the Jiang family's children can only rely on a few acres of thin land under their names or rely on the help of the clan to live. "This is also the reason why the long room and the second room of the Jiang family fought to the death.

Ren Yaoqi had heard of these, and she didn't make a sound when she listened.

Jiang Qianniang said again: "But the Jiang family also has four or five hundred people, and most of them are powerless scholars, and they don't produce on weekdays. If they only lived on the few acres of land they rented, most of the people would have to starve to death. So later, the Jiang family came up with a compromise method, bought a large piece of land in the city, and built two streets of shops, planning to lease these shops out of Lu to get some silver in the future. In this way, it is not considered to be a businessman, but it can also support more Jiang family members. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Qianniang sighed: "This was originally a good thing, but unfortunately it encountered some twists and turns later." My father bought the land for the shop at a relatively low price, but now there are some problems with the title deed. It turned out that the land there was jointly owned by the three brothers, and the two elder brothers sold the share belonging to the younger brother without authorization behind the younger brother's back, but recently the younger brother sold his share again because he was in a hurry to use the money. Seeing that all the shops were almost completed, we realized that a third of the road belonged to someone else. My father has been graying his hair lately because of this. ”

It's no wonder that Jiang Qianniang's father was in a hurry, he was able to drive his uncle down and take over as the patriarch because he let many clansmen see the benefits, and this land was bought by his grandfather to build a shop street. Now that there is a problem with this land, the interests of some clansmen will be damaged, and it is very likely that the position of his patriarch will be unstable.

"Can't find another person who bought the land and buy it back?" Ren Yaochi asked. (To be continued......)
