Chapter 914: A Chance Encounter

The rebuilding of Xiaopei has already begun, there is no government to send servants Xiaopei people are not active, but with the autumn harvest as soon as it passes, more and more people join it, only two months of effort, the market near the north city gate has begun to take shape, although only one-third is completed, the follow-up houses are still under construction, but the two rows of shops along the street of the market have been lined up, mainly private rice shops, government salt shops, supplemented by wine and food restaurants and gold and silver shops, as for leather and other shops have also opened several, In Liu Lan's expectation, such shops were at most local hunters selling furs, but he never expected that there would be a foreign Hu Chamber of Commerce that also opened three shops in Xiaopei, which shows how attractive Xiaopei is to merchants after the city tax and housing tax are exempted.

In the North Market, there are similar shops in the commercial block and there are also vegetable and fruit areas with stalls along the street, and the direction of the fruit stalls is very lively, plus the artists who play the five birds, the craftsmen who play monkeys, and the warlocks who tell fortunes are dotted in the meantime, making the North Market more prosperous.

One of the most extensive three-storey buildings is the newly established exchange in Xiaopei County, and there is a long queue in front of the door, all of which are vendors from other places who have heard the news and are ready to trade.

And a house of the same size on the opposite side is in stark contrast to it, after all, one is waiting in a long line of traffic, and the other is a tragic scene of the door, anyone will glance at the door plaque in front of the house, and at this time Liu Lan frowned and looked at the 'Xiaopei Qianzhuang' with four gilded characters written on it.

From the very beginning, money bank loans were different from government loans, although government loans did not require collateral, they required Xiaopei's household registration to claim, and the government only faced poor peasants and middle peasants. And can only borrow cattle and grain seeds, on the other hand, Qian Zhuang. For all the people, but with a mortgage. Not only can you borrow cattle and grain, but you can even borrow five baht more than one to ten times the value of the collateral.

Although the temptation is great, and the government comes forward to guarantee the money bank, but the people will still be worried, which is why Xiaopei money village will appear in such a crowded situation now, of course, the people's hesitation will become weaker and weaker through the existence of the money village, and then Liu Lan believes that after he completely cancels the discrimination against industry and commerce, there will be more and fewer people choose to do business. In this way, his original purpose was achieved.

Liu Lan and Xu Chu walked towards the depths of Beishi, and after walking for long, they saw a beautiful village woman walking not far away, her eyes lit up, and she didn't see them for two months. blocked her way.

Gan Qian was walking around the market, and suddenly saw a figure in front of her blocking the way, and she didn't look up, but directly dodged to the side. I didn't want her to just dodge, and the figure in front of her also moved to the side, blocking her way again.

She has encountered this kind of thing a lot as a weak woman. It's not weird, and I'm about to scold. But before he raised his head, he heard the voice of the person in front of him laughing softly, and said, "Whose sister is this?" Actually blocking my brother's way? ”

Gan Qian's expression became gloomy, and she snorted: "Shameless, who will stand in your way." In his heart, he felt that the voice was very familiar, and suddenly a person appeared in his mind, and when he looked up, it was really Liu Lan and Liu Deran.

"It turned out to be Liu Yuanjun."

Gan Qian's reaction was extremely calm, and she saluted him like a stranger, and said, "The little woman has seen Liu Yuanjun. At this time, Gan Qian had already seen through that Liu Lan was the kind of person who was untrue and wrong-hearted, and she hoped that he would really marry her, but in the end what she was waiting for was the news of his marriage to Miss Mi Jia, this change broke her heart, although he came to explain to him several times, but how could she believe him again. is a woman with a strong personality, and she has long been determined to stay away from people like him.

"Are you going to buy rice?"

Liu Lan, whose eyes were full of tenderness, glanced at the guards he sent to protect Gan Qian not far away, and then said to Gan Qian: "Didn't I say it, if you want to do such a thing in the future, just let them do it, why do you ...... it yourself?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gan Qian: "I have legs, I have feet, what I can do, why should I work for others?" Or do you think I can't even buy this rice? Gan Qian looked at him, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.

"I didn't say you couldn't buy ......"

Liu Lan just wanted to explain, but he was silent, and only after a while sighed again: "Why are you suffering?" Speaking of this, he said in a deep tone: "You are a stubborn and strong character, like a hedgehog, covered with spikes, which makes people want to get close but have to retreat." ”

"Hehe, I'm a hedgehog." Gan Qian sneered and said, "I once put away the spikes from you, but you asked me to aim the spikes at you again and again, which can only be blamed on you and blame others." ”

Looking at Gan Qian's competitive expression, Liu Lan's eyes were gloomy, he could see that Gan Qian was full of anger at this time, especially her red cheeks were even more moving with the rouge on it, she was not as rude and willful as Zhen Jiang, nor as coquettish and lovely as Mi Zhen, she had no father and mother, she had been living alone, and there was no arm around him that could make him feel safe, so he had to make himself strong and strong to face all difficulties.

Liu Lan's heart seemed to have overturned the five-flavor bottle, he used to be his strong backing, but that was only once, his heart was like a knife, and he sighed: "Sister Qian, why are you suffering?" I know your heart rejoices in me, but you should also know that lady of my family, and if you give me some time, I will surely convince her. ”

"It's just that I was blind."

Gan Qian sneered, her papaya-like breasts rose and fell slightly, her red lips were clenched, and she tried her best to control the anger in her heart, and only after a while did she say in a cruel voice: "Which lady in your family?" ”

Gan Qian's eyes shone with anger, and she said coldly: "You can't even believe these lies of a three-year-old child, let alone me?" I believed it at the beginning, but now you say this to me, how can I believe you! His heart was filled with anger at being deceived by Liu Lan, and continued: "If it is really as you say, your wife is a fierce woman, then how can she agree to your marriage with Miss Mi Jia, and you dare to use this as an excuse in front of me?" It's ridiculous. ”

didn't let Liu Lan interject, and continued: "You better go, I don't want to see you again in the future, just let you leave a good impression in my heart, if you continue to entangle, it will make me even more disdainful of you." ”

Liu Lan finally understood what Gan Qian wanted to express to him, he had been unclear, it turned out that Gan Qian was blaming himself for accepting the sister of the Mi family as a concubine, but not for her, and said with a wry smile in a low voice: "Sister Qian, you misunderstood, misunderstood." ”

"Misunderstanding?"

Gan Qian's face became even more ugly, and she sneered as she walked forward: "Then this misunderstanding is exactly what I want in my heart, because I hope this misunderstanding is true, not just a 'misunderstanding'." ”

"This matter is simply not related to cattle, horses and sheep."

Liu Lan saw that he was going to take a detour from his side and block his way again, at this time, the pedestrians on both sides of the road cast concerned eyes, watching these people look at him frequently, Liu Lan, who was depressed at this time, looked around and said, "What's so good, I haven't seen two people quarrel." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone on the side of the road showed enlightened eyes, and Gan Qian didn't want to say very plainly: "Don't you think it's shameful for you to be like this?" Although I am just a lowly peasant woman, I also ask Liu Yuanjun to show some respect. ”

"You know what? This marriage with the Mi family is a transaction, and it is not what you think in your heart at all, so Zhen Jiang has to agree no matter what, so this is beyond the category of simple concubines, but you are different, I hope you must not be confused. ”

She had already looked down on this, if she cared about Liu Lan before, she would have beaten him a few times to vent her grievances, but at this time he felt that he couldn't even be angry with him, Gan Qian said in a very flat voice: "I'm sorry Liu Yuanjun, maybe the folk woman once had time to listen to your story, and she thought it was true, but at this time, the folk woman had something important, so she didn't have time to listen to the envoy here to make up these ridiculous stories." ”

Even the clay man also has three points of anger, not to mention him Liu Lan, especially Gan Qian's cold expression and tone, the anger in his heart is like a beast out of the cage, although he tried his best to restrain it, but it can still be known from his raised tone, mixed with shame and anger, and said: "Is what I said so untrustworthy?" Am I the kind of person who lies in your heart? If even I lie to you in this world, how can you trust anyone in this world? ”

said in the end, but he said heartbreakingly: "It is said that you women have long hair and short knowledge, I think it is really right, even which is good for you, which is bad for you, who lies to you, and who really cares about you, this is not long hair and short knowledge, what is it?"
