Chapter 009: Accidental Discovery

"You? How do you know? ”

Li Huaien was stunned on the spot, and the women's army on his side saw this, stepped forward in two steps, grabbed his arm, twisted it back, and kicked him on his calf at the same time, pressing Li Huaien firmly to the ground.

"How do I know?"

Wang Qifang was really angry this time, her temperament was just a little lazy, and she was not as cowardly as the deity. I think she was struggling alone in her previous life, and she longs for the care of her relatives and the warmth of her family. When her mother passed away, she swore more than once that if there was an afterlife, she would cherish and protect the relatives around her, and not regret it until she lost it.

Now reborn in another world, there is not only the loyal guardian of Mama Zhao, but also three children connected by blood, Mama Zhao is not a relative than a close follower of relatives, Yuan Niang's wholehearted dependence and sincere admiration, so that her rootless duckweed finally has a sense of home.

This feeling is what Wang Qifang has longed for for a long time, so she cherishes it doubly, and secretly vows to do her best to protect her home, protect her children, and not let anyone destroy the warm life of their 'family'.

For this reason, Wang Qifang gave up the plan to help the deity take revenge, and also gave up the opportunity to completely break away from the Zhao family, and decided to take the child to live a plain and happy life.

However, what happened one after another in the past few days made Wang Qifang suddenly realize that she was too naïve. This world is no different from the previous life, if you are weak, others will be strong, but you may not be willing to give in if you retreat from others, the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive

No, before she left the Zhao Mansion, someone had already begun to calculate. is a folk princess, who pinched a little shortcoming of guessing, and wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail her; Immediately afterwards, another ungrateful villain, like a moth, ate up the property left to her by her mother as a life-saver, and made shameless remarks without remorse.

Well, Princess Jingwei is in the name of a princess, and she can't move for the time being, but Wang Qifang has no worries about Li Huaien.

"......" Li Huaien was pressed to the ground by someone, he raised his head with difficulty and met Wang Qifang's mocking eyes, and the pain in his shoulder made him suddenly understand something, and smiled miserably: "Heh~, why am I so stupid, since the eldest lady can catch my brother-in-law so quickly, and there are so many knights with excellent martial arts around her, how can she be a young grandmother of ordinary people?" I, I ......"

"It doesn't matter what my husband's family is, and you don't need to know."

Wang Qifang shook her head, in fact, after receiving the news from the Xia Ke League yesterday, she was really surprised, she didn't expect that Li Huaien's new owner turned out to be the eldest young master Zhao, and what she didn't expect was that the Zhao family, an unfavored concubine, had such a high status in the eyes of ordinary businessmen.

After discovering this, Wang Qifang had a strange idea.

To be honest, in her heart, because of Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Tianqing, Wang Qifang has always looked down on the Zhao family, and she has not paid much attention to the influence of the Zhao family.

But after Li Huaien's incident, she suddenly realized that perhaps in the eyes of the emperor's relatives, the Zhao family is just a businessman, even if they have fame, they are really a false position and have no real power; But in the eyes of ordinary people, especially businessmen, Zhao Yongnian, president of the Confucian Business Association, is a god-like existence.

Because businessmen who have passed the certification of the Confucian Business Association will become Confucian merchants, and Confucian merchants can participate in the imperial examination, and officials below the fifth rank can be exempted from kneeling and worshipping, and the social rank is equivalent to that of the lifter.

Of course, in addition to the change in status, there is also a great economic interest. That is, in addition to paying the normal commercial tax, the Confucian merchants no longer had to pay any taxes and did not have to serve as conscripts.

It can be said that ordinary businessmen, once they become Confucian merchants, it is equivalent to the scholars of the poor family who have passed the imperial examination, and the status of the entire family will undergo a complete change. For businessmen with low status since ancient times, the Confucian Business Association is definitely a golden dragon gate, jumping over and glorifying their ancestors; If you can't jump, you will return to the bottom of society.

With this fatal temptation, the merchants of the Great Zhou simply cut their heads and tried their wealth to get the admission ticket to the Confucian Business Association. As for Zhao Yongnian, he has half of the power of life and death, and he can be half of the master.

Therefore, Zhao Yongnian and his two sons are the objects of competition among businessmen.

On the other hand, Li Huaien, who has been operating in the capital for more than 20 years, has seen with his own eyes the superior social status of those Confucian merchants and the spirit of wanton dominance in the business world, and has seen more of how flamboyant those businessmen with the support of the aristocracy behind him are, and he has long had the desire to change his social status in his heart.

The aristocracy doesn't have to think about it, they are high, not to mention that he is a small businessman, even a real Confucian merchant may not be able to get acquainted; The rest is the Confucian Business Association, but with his current value, he is not qualified to see President Zhao Yongnian at all, and even the second young master Zhao Tianqing will not look at him in his eyes.

Finally, Li Huaien spent a lot of money to connect with Zhao Dashao's line, Zhao Dashao attached great importance to his ability, and personally promised that when the Confucian Business Association assessed the new Confucian businessmen in the spring of next year, a place would be reserved for him.

Hearing Zhao Dashao's words, Li Huaien was simply ecstatic, and hurriedly took out all the money he had embezzled from 'Li Ji' over the years, purchased a big gift, and after getting the Confucian merchant certification qualification, he gave the big gift to Zhao Dashao with both hands.

Externally, he also began to regard himself as Zhao Dashao's subordinate everywhere, and whenever he encountered competitors stealing business, he lifted Zhao Dashao out. Not to mention, in the past six months, he has really scared a lot of people and gained a lot of benefits in vain.

After a long time, there are too many lies, and even Li Huaien believes from the bottom of his heart that he is Zhao Dashao's person, and once someone asks him for trouble, Zhao Dashao will come forward to help him......

Now, the new owner, who has not been seen for more than 20 years, has arrived, not only found out his fake accounts, but also has no fear of his backers. This made Li Huaien, who had been smooth sailing for so many years, panicked, he swallowed his saliva nervously, and struggled to beg Wang Qifang for mercy:

"Miss, please spare me, I, I'm a ghost, how can I do something to betray the Lord? For the sake of my wife's sake, please go around me this time. You can rest assured, as long as you let go of the small ones, the small ones are willing to hand over all the savings they have accumulated over the years to you."

"Ma'am? Do you still have a face to mention Mrs.? "Although Wang Qifang has not seen this 'mother', and there is no impression of her in the remaining memories, but her current good life is all thanks to Mrs. Wang, if it were not for her thoughtful old man and left a life-saving treasure box, Wang Qifang can't imagine what she will be like now.

Whether it is silver, jewelry, granges and shops, all these things contain a loving mother's deep love for her daughter.

Wang Qifang gradually respected this mother from the bottom of her heart, and subconsciously regarded the late Mrs. Wang as her mother.

Now, when Li Huaien saw that the matter was exposed, he talked about his mother again, which made Wang Qifang very dissatisfied. She threw out the teacup in her hand vigorously, and with a "bang", the white porcelain teacup fell at Li Huaien's feet with half full of tea, which frightened him into shivering.

"If Mrs. knows that you have betrayed her trust, you may not be able to tell how difficult it will be for someone to come over, and you will not send him to the government?"

"Yes, Second Young Grandma" The women's armies on both sides agreed, and they picked up the skinny Li Huaien and went out.

“…… Big, big lady, the little one knows and knows, please spare the little one. ”

Li Huaien was lifted up by someone, his feet were in the air, he realized that Wang Qifang was really angry, and knew that as long as he was sent to the official mansion, judging from the strength exposed by this second young grandmother, he would want to leave the county government alive, and the family's property would be taken back, this, this is not good

I saw him struggling desperately, "Miss, as long as you spare the little one, the little one is willing to pay any price."

……

"Second young grandmother, look, this is it"

The carriage slowly stopped in front of a brand-new mansion, Li Huaien jumped down from the carriage, and after Wang Qifang was helped down by the girls, he pointed to the closed red lacquered wooden door and said.

Wang Qifang ignored Li Huaien's words, pushed away Qingfeng's hand, stood in front of the door and looked left and right, and saw that there were only three families in the long alley, and the house in front of him was located at the westernmost end of the alley, the location was not bad, and the surrounding environment was quiet. Although it is not far from the West Market, you can't hear the noise on the street at all.

Well, good, good location, elegant environment, convenient transportation, and simple neighbors around, Wang Qifang nodded secretly, judging from the outside layout alone, she is very satisfied with this set of yards, which is very suitable for her to live with three children.

Just didn't know if the house inside was proper, she raised her head and ordered: "Go, go in and have a look"

"Oops, okay"

After Li Huaien was beaten by Wang Qifang, he was much more honest, in order to let the second young grandmother in front of him let him go, he tried his best, and his attitude was even more humble, nodded and knocked on the door, and after the porter opened the door, he bowed and asked Wang Qifang to go in, "Second young grandmother, slow down, be careful of the steps"

Wang Qifang followed Li Huaien into the gate, through the screen gate, and came to the front yard.

"Second young grandmother, look, this yard has been renovated," Li Huaien explained as he walked, pointing to the rooms around him, his enthusiastic appearance like a salesman selling real estate, "...... Look at this tile, it is all with treasure patterns, and the drop of water, which is also the ...... of the word longevity."

What Wadang? Drip?

Wang Qifang didn't read ancient buildings, she didn't know much about these names, she nodded casually, and in Li Huaien's eyes, she mistakenly thought that the second young grandmother's vision was too high, and she couldn't look down on these things, so she hurriedly led her into the weeping flower gate.

Passing through the Hanging Flower Gate, there is the inner courtyard. The main house of five rooms is located in the north and faces south, there are two ear rooms on the left and right, and there are three wing rooms on the east and west sides, the layout is simple, and the courtyard is clean.

"This is the main courtyard, and there is a small middle courtyard at the back, and then there is the ......"

Li Huaien stood on Wang Qifang's side and continued to explain, "...... Past the corner gate in the northeast corner of the main courtyard, there is a garden, this garden can take a lot of thought, the half-moon lake inside, the glass conservatory, and-"

"What kind of tree is this?"

Wang Qifang's gaze did not follow Li Huaien's guidance, but stared closely at the two thick trees on both sides of the steps of the main house, oh no, more precisely, she was concerned about the flower pots under the big trees. It's just that it's winter, and the plant in the pot is bare and has no leaves, and she can't see what it is after looking at it for a long time.

"Well, this one was left by the previous owner of the house, and I don't know what the little one is. However, if the second young grandmother doesn't like it, the small one will be cut off."

"No need, I want this house"

Cut it, how can it be done, although Wang Qifang didn't know what that short and dry thing was, she could clearly feel that it exuded a rich aura around it, just like there was a mold in her space

P: Roar, today's main station is closed, a certain Sa is too frozen, I didn't say it, this is the first change, and there is another one at night. Thank you for your support
