Chu Cailing woke up early in the morning and was in a bad mood by the shopkeeper who didn't call her self-picking, and all her thoughts about meeting her old friend were ruined.

More than a month ago, she received a letter mentioning that those cooperative merchants had canceled their cooperation with Cai Lingguo overnight and raised money for the silver taels.

She originally thought it was just a trivial matter, but fortunately she was relieved that she finally came here in person, and after learning the ins and outs of the matter, she was even more furious.

It turned out that the shopkeeper didn't say that he would think of a way to recover the loss before she came, but closed the shop and went against the Huixian Chamber of Commerce, and then he was even more bold to hide most of the truth and make his own assertions.

Listening to the slander of the Lingguo by outsiders, the fire in her heart burned and burned, and the strength in her hand was not well controlled, and a pair of scissors destroyed a good white orchid.

The shopkeeper had never seen Mrs. Chu so angry, so he knelt down on the spot, "Madame spares her life." ”

Chu Cailing hadn't heard the title of Mrs. for ten years, and the past poured into her mind one by one, accompanied not by happiness and warmth, but by shame and unwilling anger. Her face changed drastically, and the scissors in her hand slammed into the man's side. "Look for death!"

The shopkeeper has been by Chu Cailing's side for seventeen years, and it was the old lady of the Chu Mansion who gave Chu Cailing a dowry, and the scissors almost hit him in the head, of course he also reacted that he had lost his words, and hurriedly changed his words and said: "Pavilion master." ”

"Old fool!" Chu Cailing only felt cold sweat in her palms, and she couldn't control the trembling of her whole body with all her strength.

"Pavilion Master!" When the shopkeeper heard such a sentence, he was so frightened that he instantly broke out in a cold sweat ten times more. He didn't expect Chu Cailing to come over in person, if Chu Cailing knew about it, Cai Lingguo would become like this, just because of Lin Wenhai, his old face would have no place to rest.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Lingguo is just a small shop in Huicheng, who would have thought that it is such a shop, and nearly forty percent of the taxes and orders submitted to the Huixian Chamber of Commerce every year, no wonder Lin Wenhai wants to take the Lingguo to open the knife, relying on this silver alone, the Huixian Chamber of Commerce can show a big face in front of the garrison.

So he only wrote a letter to the emperor to the Chamber of Commerce to raise donations, did not mention what happened to the Chamber of Commerce, and did not dare to mention the 50,000 taels of silver, "Pavilion owner, before you traveled far away, the news really can't be delivered to you, half of the containers in the port are destroyed, but the remaining half is also flawed, and now there is no need to worry about the cancellation of the order, but how to choose cooperative merchants next, the museum owner has decided to come out as soon as possible." ”

"Fart! I'm afraid you think I'm as old and foolish as you! ”

The shopkeeper's little luck was instantly defeated, although Chu Cailing has not appeared in Haixing for so many years, this does not mean that she knows nothing.

"Do you care about the fruits? Did those merchants survive? How did I explain it to you in the first place? It doesn't matter if you make money or not! I'm fighting for a breath! I want to pick the spirit fruit and become a place that everyone can't climb, you don't have to be afraid, my son Chu Cailing is the future king of Haixing County! Who dares to touch you to try! You're good to go! It's really a slave who is used to it, and he can't cure it! Shame on me so much! ”

The shopkeeper is really bitter and can't say, if outsiders know who the master behind the Lingguo is, maybe there will be no accident, "The slave is not good." ”

"Don't just eat inside and out." Chu Cailing gently floated out a sentence.

The shopkeeper broke out in a cold sweat at the moment, fell to the ground and shouted: "The slave doesn't dare!" ”

"You are an old man next to me, you can see who you have been afraid of for so many years! Now such a small thing makes you lose your proportion, it seems that they are all coaxing you to play, no matter how much you have done to Huixian, no one still takes you seriously. ”

"At the beginning, those merchants did have a sense of awe, but for so many years, the owner of the pavilion has not shown up, and outsiders have no mind to guess the origin of the spirit fruit.

Chu Cailing sneered: "You are really old, it seems that you have lived to your age, and what you are worried about is nothing more than that little family matter." It's not you who they are bullying! It's me! Seeing that I never oppress people with my identity, I underestimated the spirit fruit. ”

"The curator?" The shopkeeper really knew what it meant to lift a stone and hit himself in the foot, and it was wishful thinking to hide such a big thing. "The slave is guilty, and he shouldn't hide it from the owner."

"I haven't asked about what you've done over the years, but not this time, I must know who gave Lin Wenhai such courage!" Chu Cailing snorted coldly and sat down, "Fortunately, you still know to save me some face, and you didn't really take out the 50,000 taels." ”

"Minions..." The shopkeeper's face was pale, his heart was like a drum, and his head was buzzing.

"Get out of here with your little bit of money! Go back and tease your newborn grandchildren. Dare to say more! I'll crush you into a pulp to fill this hole!" Chu Cailing glared at him viciously and asked someone to drag the shopkeeper down.

Chu Cailing scolded happily, but the Ruan mother and daughter standing behind the pillar were bitter, and the two looked at each other and didn't know what to do. The girl who led the two of them in was almost unbearable, blinked her eyelids, and tears fell out, but she didn't dare to make a sound. The courtyard was terriblely quiet, and this whimper seemed very abrupt. In the end, it was heard. "Who!"

When Mrs. Ruan heard this angry shout, she looked at the tearful little girl again, shook her head helplessly, and led her daughter out. Looking at the old friend I haven't seen for nearly 20 years, I have mixed feelings in my heart, I never thought that the meeting would be like this after many years.

"Sister Lan." Chu Cailing saw the person clearly, her face gradually returned to normal, she waved everyone away, welcomed the person to the side of the case, looked at the girl who didn't dare to look up and asked, "This is Ji Luo, right?" ”

Ruan Yuluo had no way to shake away the sharp rebuke that had been stored in her mind just now, and now she had no way to accept such a gentle Aunt Chu, so she had to smile shyly and did not speak.

How could Mrs. Ruan not know her daughter's careful thoughts, so she had to interrupt and say, "You know that I also gave birth to a daughter." ”

"How could I not know." Chu Cailing smiled and called the cherries beside her, "Lead Miss Lady Luo to the yard to play for a while, and put lunch in the pavilion, and let the peach make a pot of roselle." ”

Ruan Yuluo obediently went out with the cherry, she knew that it was better for her not to talk too much at this time, so it was just right. She never dreamed that the boss behind the well-known Cailing Fruit in Huicheng turned out to be a friend of her mother's relatives, the former princess of the county palace.

As soon as Ruan Yuanluo went out here, Chu Cailing's eyes were filled with tears, Mrs. Ruan naturally knew what she was crying about, especially since what she said just now was related to what happened a few days ago, and she also felt very annoyed.

"I really didn't expect that the Lingguo is your place, all these years, you have put all your thoughts on this?" Mrs. Ruan took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "No wonder Huicheng's shop was suddenly closed, and Furui Yunzhulou also had no fresh fruit, so that's the case."

"It's all that old fool who made his own claims, and if I had known about it a long time ago, I would have donated a few million taels and gained a good reputation. Where has it now become the laughing stock of the Huixian Chamber of Commerce, and being forced to this point by a child in his twenties, that old fool really lost my face. ”

When Haixing was guarding and rewarding everyone, Mrs. Ruan had seen Lin Wenhai, who was very bookish, but she was a complete child, and she had never seen any wind and waves at a glance, if she hadn't heard the conversation just now, she couldn't believe that the rumors of 50,000 taels were true. "In those days, there were all kinds of people in Haixing, and it was not unusual for anything to come out, and the Huixian Chamber of Commerce has always been valued by the guards."

"Important? That's why you're so unscrupulous, right? If he had been smarter, I wouldn't have been able to turn over. Wen Qing, this slut, is really willing to kill me! Eighteen years have robbed me of everything, and now I want to destroy my Soul Picking Fruit. Regardless of whether the 50,000 taels are donated or not, the spirit fruit will have no face at all. It's a pity that I didn't find out anything, otherwise I would have to ask the middle scribe again, a waste hiding under the ancestral tablet and waiting for death, where is it worth the emperor to maintain everywhere! ”

Chu Cailing's tone was calm, but there was anger in her eyes that couldn't be suppressed, Mrs. Ruan thought of Lin Wenhai, how could she not associate this matter with him, "Forget it, don't be obsessed with this, this matter can no longer be extraneous now." ”

Chu Cailing didn't know that now that the haze of Haixing had just passed, no matter how inaction the county prince's mansion was, she couldn't stop worrying about this little thing. "But if I don't do anything, I really tell Wen Qing to watch a joke."

"Wen Qing left the Junwang Mansion before the winter last year, her son is a medicine jar, and spends most of the year outside seeking medical treatment, I think, she doesn't have the energy. Let's not talk about that, shall we? I ask you, can you see Zhaoyang? ”

Chu Cailing was stunned for a moment, a dull pain in her heart, the people around her knew that the county palace was an absolute taboo, so if there was anything about the Haixing county palace, it could be avoided if it could be avoided. Now that she is back, of course, there is no way to avoid it, Wen Qing and Guo Zhifeng have another child, which should be unexpected. But what she didn't expect the most was that Guo Zhaoyang was disliked by his biological father to the point of being so disliked.

Mrs. Ruan suddenly felt that something was wrong, Guo Zhaoyang had a hard time all these years, every time there was an accident, she had never seen Chu Cailing appear, she always thought that Chu Cailing was wronged and didn't want to show up, but she forgot one thing, if Chu Cailing left with hatred for Guo Zhifeng, according to her temperament, it was very likely that she really ignored Guo Zhaoyang.

Unbelievable! "I think it's strange that he's been working so hard that he could have been successfully promoted to the second grade, but why something so big happened and he didn't see you show up. Who the hell do you hate! That's your own son! Are you really ruthless? Eighteen years! Do you know how he spent the past eighteen years? ”

"I..." At this moment, Chu Cailing's tears could no longer be controlled.

"So you don't know that the county king's mansion has added a second young master?"

Chu Cailing held Mrs. Ruan's hand and said softly: "I'm just too scared, I'm afraid that taking him away will ruin him, and I'm afraid that Guo Zhifeng really doesn't like him, you also know what happened when he was born, I really didn't expect it... After all, he is the son of the world, his own son! ”

It turned out that no matter whether there was Wen Qing or not, there was already a knot between Guo Zhifeng and Chu Cailing, and this knot was Guo Zhaoyang, on the day Guo Zhaoyang was born, it coincided with a flash flood in the "Fu Di Land", which was a bad omen, but at that time, Chu Cailing was the princess of the county appointed by the emperor after all, and no one dared to link these two things together.

Two years later, Guo Zhifeng brought back Wen Qing, who was just a woman in the dust at the time, Chu Cailing was angry for a while, made a big fuss, and was about to leave the county palace in a fit of anger, Mrs. Ruan also persuaded her at that time, don't fall into Wen Qing's arms, but Chu Cailing didn't listen, abandoned Guo Zhaoyang, who was only two years old, and didn't know where to go.

At the beginning, Wen Qing was really good to Guo Zhaoyang, even if the rumors of the calamity star suddenly popped up, Wen Qing suppressed it with all her might, and acted like a good wife and mother, making others think that she was really a more competent mother than Chu Cailing.

And Guo Zhaoyang also likes her very much, and in her teachings, she has become the top of the list of Taixue, who in the whole Haixing does not know that the son of the Junwang family is a genius!

But when he was eleven years old, the winter when he came back from the imperial palace, there was an accident, and the girl next to the princess of the county jumped into the well, and everyone was guessing that the accident was related to Guo Zhaoyang, even if Wen Qing explained it everywhere, it was still useless, and overnight, Guo Zhaoyang was notorious in Haixing.

"The better Wen Qing treats him, the less successful he is in the eyes of outsiders, and since then, he can be regarded as completely destroyed."

"In the end, it still ruined him."

"Cai Ling." Mrs. Ruan looked at the woman in front of her who had completely lost her freshness just now, and at this time, she seemed to have been taken away by someone and became angry, and she suddenly aged several years. I was distressed. "We are good sisters, but I can't understand your hardships, and I can't meddle in the affairs of the county king's mansion, but I still arranged a master to teach Zhaoyang to study, and over the years, he has also grown up and stopped causing trouble."

Chu Cailing's tears were hazy, as if she had returned to the young and frivolous fifteen-year-old. I hated Sister Lan in front of me for the first time, and I cherished each other again, and since then I have been in love with my sisters. "Being able to arrange Zhaoyang to study under Wen Qing's nose shows Sister Lan's ability, I always remember what you said, you are the daughter of the Sang family, no one can bully you. I also know that you will remember my instructions. ”

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and in each other's eyes, they found trust and friendship that never disappeared, and it was an unspeakable marriage that fell on them. The Chu family is just a five-grade civil official family that can never get out in Xiyue City, and the only good luck in this life is to let the emperor marry her and marry her to the county king's mansion.

And now Mrs. Ruan, I'm afraid that since she left the gate of Xiyue City, no one knows that her maiden name is Sang, her real name is Sang Lan, although the Sang family is just a small money bank, but the origin is extraordinary, otherwise she would not have stood in Xiyue City for so many years, and she would not have won the attention of the emperor as soon as she made a move.
