Chapter 43: Broken Dreams
August 16 was an unforgettable day. Especially for the people of Yancheng. Some of the events of that day are still fresh in my mind years later.
Hai Wuya came to Liufu Land Changning Residence early. He was joined by his wife and daughter.
"Miss. In the future, the villain's wife and daughter will be entrusted to you to take care of. Hai Wuya smiled humbly and sincerely. It is completely different from yesterday's warm and polite, humble and non-pitiful attitude.
In just one day, he went from a shrewd scribe to a loyal subordinate.
That's smart. Changning couldn't help but sigh. Such people are indeed convenient to use, but they are also frightening. Especially Changning, she never felt that she had the potential to become a superior. There is no genius calculation either. For the time being, there is no peerless force that can deter the world. She now only has the Liu family as a backer. And know more about things that others don't know. Now she is just a child standing on the shoulders of giants.
Changning once again looked at the sea with a scrutinizing gaze. Is he taking a stand? Changning remembered the little orange and those lanterns he saw in the teahouse yesterday. What a talent indeed! After pondering for a moment, he said solemnly, "Since that's the case, let's stay in the mansion and do things." Let's talk about what specialties I have, and I'll make arrangements. Changning smiled like a spring breeze.
Hai Wuya's wife, Hai Ji, is now a collateral concubine of the Lianzhou Ji family. Although he grew up in a family, he was not treated well. I haven't seen much of the world. Seeing Changning, who was still a little majestic before, suddenly showed a kind smile and felt flattered. The reminder before her husband went out was still in his ears, "Although the fifth lady of the Liu family is only eight years old, she is not comparable to ordinary adults. In the future, you must be very respectful when you enter the house. Don't despise or slow her because she's young. If you offend her, maybe even I won't be able to save you. I'm not asking you to help me with anything, but I hope it will reassure them. But you don't have to worry, your husband won't ignore you. In a few days, when I have gained Miss Liu's trust, I will take you out. ”
Hai Ji stepped forward and saluted and said respectfully, "Miss, the little woman knows how to do some needlework and thread, and can read some account books. As he spoke, he pointed to his daughter who was standing beside him, "The little girl Haiyu, who is eight years old this year, is already practicing Xuanqi. Qualifications are acceptable. If the young lady doesn't give up, she can stay by her side and be a little maid. When Hai Shi talked about his daughter, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.
Changning saw that although the little girl was about the same age as herself, she was innocent and delicate, with a pair of big eyes that were bright and bright in black and white, which made people like it when they looked at it. It's lovely indeed. But Changning didn't want to accept her as a maid. Shaking his head, he said, "It's too small." The people around me will need to stand alone in the future. I didn't have time to wait too long. ”
Hai Ji was a little stunned, obviously not expecting to be rejected. The little girl seemed to be a little unhappy, and some crystal liquid in her big eyes seemed to erupt at any moment.
Changning looked even more displeased. Haiyu is obviously a delicate girl who is well protected by her parents. is the same age as himself, but he has an innocent and delicate nature that he doesn't have. Changning faintly felt that she might be jealous of her. Although he was a little reluctant to admit it, Changning couldn't find any other reason not to like it. I couldn't help but laugh a little when I thought about it. However, Changning was unwilling to change his attitude.
"You can stay in Smoke City and do what you want. You can also stay in the house and let the head of the house arrange your affairs for you. Take your pick. Changning looked at their appearance and suddenly lost interest. As long as they are in Yancheng, they are afraid that they will not be able to escape.
"In that case, let's trouble Miss to arrange for them to enter the house." Hai Wuya ignored Hai Ji's somewhat happy eyes and said first.
Changning instructed Chun Fan to take Haiji's mother and daughter to find the Han housekeeper. Listen to the work report of the boundless sea.
The villain bought a shop in the most prosperous area in the east of the city, posted notices, and distributed leaflets. By now, most of the people in Yancheng should have gotten the news. Hai Wuya's eyes lit up when he talked about these things, and although he deliberately showed his humility, he still couldn't hide the light of confidence in him. The boundless sea of this moment is very attractive and even more convincing.
Changning looked at him appreciatively. Unexpectedly, under the appearance of Hai Wuya's weak scholar, he was a natural businessman. Some people are usually very good at camouflage and are also very low-key. But when it comes to the field he likes or is good at, it will be completely different. Therefore, he was just a well-known scholar before the Lianzhou flood, and after the flood, he became the leader of the party. With thousands of people to strive for survival, develop the economy, and become an admirable figure.
"There are many people who are skeptical about the medicinal effects of the herb. But because of the promise of Liufu. Emotions are still high. Yesterday alone, hundreds of thousands of seeds have been rented out. I believe there will be better results today. "Hai Wuya seems to have a plan.
"Anyway, it's not expensive to rent seeds, and when the time comes, there will be Liufu recycling, and the price of mature blue grass will increase hundreds of times. Of course, they will. Changning smiled, "Since things are going well, I have to worry a lot about the rest of the matter." In the future, Mr. will be responsible for this part of the grass. ”
"Yes. The small one will live up to the trust of the young lady. Hai Wuya said solemnly.
"I have to get them to sign the contract, I don't want to have that happening when the price is going to be higher, and they're going to sell the grass to someone else. I hope that all the grass and grass in the Xuanwu Continent will be exclusively sold by the Ping An Pharmacy. Do you understand? ”
"My subordinates understand."

The main hall of Eian Temple.
The old lady got up, squinted her eyes slightly, and sighed with a smile, "The effect is really good." My wife's Xuan Qi, which has been stagnant for many years, has actually been purified a lot, and it has increased a little bit. ”
"People say that if you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future. That's right. Mother Han carefully observed the old lady's face, and seeing that she was not displeased, she continued to say, "Speaking of which, this is also the blessing of our Liu family." ”
"Hmm." The old lady nodded in satisfaction. These words went to her heart. With a tone of relief and pride, he said, "Much better than her father." I heard that the Ping An Pharmacy has been in full swing for the past two days? ”
Mother Han remembered what she saw yesterday afternoon, and couldn't help but be a little speechless, "The slave has never seen those people show such enthusiasm for something. With Lanyin grass, the economy of our Yancheng will only increase by several percent. In the future, I am afraid that the life of those people will be much better. ”
The old lady nodded and said happily, "I really didn't expect that the homeless person in the west of the city really had two brooms, and he took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to beat the signboard out in just half a day." Although he borrowed the name of Liufu, he can be regarded as a capable person. ”
"Speaking of which, the fifth lady has the wisdom to understand people, although I have heard of such a person before, but no one expected that such a weak scholar would be so shrewd. That is, Miss Five, if others are afraid that they are not so generous, they will rent the grass to other places to plant. If anyone has such a treasure and doesn't hide it, for fear that others will peep at him, how dare he be as big as Miss Five. ”
The old lady thought thoughtfully, remembering her granddaughter's mature little face, and sometimes her delicate appearance. He said with some uncertainty, "I'm afraid she has something else in mind." ”
Han's mother playfully stopped talking about the topic. Instead, take the topic elsewhere. glanced meaningfully at the west courtyard, and said with a smile, "Aunt Chen is only afraid that she will miscalculate this time." ”
The old lady was really interested in this topic, and immediately squinted her eyes and smiled.
