Chapter 108: Mountain rain is coming

.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the full court cuckoo red!

The ladies listened with relish, and seemed to be very yearning for the blueprint of the farmhouse landscape she had depicted.

"Sounds like a lot of fun." Zhu Hongyu held her cheeks with one hand, her beautiful eyes were like water, and said: "If my sister really wants to build a farmhouse, my two Zhuangzi will be entrusted to my sister to take care of." ”

"I'll take the dowry too." I wish the second grandmother raised her hand to express her position.

Zhu Honglin and Shi Hengyu said that they could also join the shares.

But what Liu Qingyan said next made them fall to the ground again.

"At the moment, I don't have any extra money to invest, and we'll discuss this later." Liu Qingyan said very sincerely.

If you don't invest, why do you say it's half a day? Make us happy in vain.

Everyone couldn't cry or laugh, got up and patted their buttocks, and prepared to go home.

"Miss, it's very wrong for you to fool people like this." Qiu'er and Jiu'er accused in unison.

Liu Qingyan spread her hands, "Don't you know if I have any silver?" You can't let me empty my gloves, the white wolf is not. ”

Qiu'er and Jiu'er were silent for a while, and praised: "Miss, you are a good person, at least you don't deceive people." ”

"I ...... Wait for me! Liu Qingyan slammed her heel and went up.

On the road at the entrance of Zhuangzi, the women were boarding the carriage, and there were several baskets of melons and vegetables on the ground next to the carriage.

"Sister-in-law, there are a lot of vegetables growing in the vegetable garden behind our house, why do you still take melons and vegetables back?"

Zhu Hongyan turned her head to look at the melon vegetables, and said happily: "I picked these vegetables with my own hands, so naturally I have to take them back." ”

"Sister-in-law, you already understand the essence of farmhouse." Liu Qingyan raised her thumbs up.

For the next two days, the Liu family went vegan.

In the middle of the second half of the year, the school in Baishui Village was completed, and Liu Qingyan was invited to attend the opening ceremony.

When he was about to return, Patriarch Liu said that the people who came to collect salted duck eggs in Ruyi Lou had not seen anyone for more than ten days this month, so he asked Liu Qingyan to ask after returning to the city. If you don't come, you'll have to sell it to other vendors.

Since no contract had been signed with Ruyi Building, the sale was voluntary.

After Liu Qingyan returned to the city, Jiu'er came to report that the rice noodles were also delayed, and no one came to pick up the goods.

In the past, it was timed, so why is it suddenly not on time this month? Could it be that the business of Ruyi Building has been unstable recently?

Liu Qingyan came to ask the shopkeeper Tong with doubts.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper Tong exclaimed: "Impossible, the copies needed this month have been delivered." ”

"What?" Liu Qingyan sensed that the situation was serious, stood up and said urgently: "Take me to take a look." ”

Shopkeeper Tong also felt that this matter was strange, and hurriedly led Liu Qingyan to the warehouse.

Salted duck eggs and Songhua eggs can't be seen, but the koji rice noodles are exactly the same as those from their own workshop, and even the cloth bags in the packaging are exactly the same.

Liu Qingyan's expression became solemn, she took a few deep breaths, and asked the shopkeeper Tong in a deep voice, "What about the person in charge of transportation?" ”

"The delivery of the owner's goods has always been in charge of a special transportation team, and it is not under my control!" Shopkeeper Tong frowned, and seeing that Liu Qingyan's face was as pale as ink, he hurriedly added: "Go to Uncle Min about this matter, maybe you can ask something inside." ”

Before the words ended, Liu Qingyan had already dodged and walked out.

Jiahua parked the carriage at the gate of Ruyi Building and waited, and after Liu Qingyan got into the car, she immediately went to the Xiao family firm in the city.

However, after Uncle Min heard about this, his expression was no different from that of Shopkeeper Tong.

After pacing back and forth in the room, he said, "The reasons that can make this happen are that there is a workshop like yours outside; The second is that the people of the transport team have colluded with the workshop. ”

"That's what I thought, too." Liu Qingyan said calmly.

"The leader of the Yuxi County transport team is familiar with me, so I asked him to find out what happened."

The guy who was ordered to go quickly went back and forth, saying that the head of the convoy had escorted the goods to the field and had not returned.

Uncle Min scolded in annoyance: "Stupid, the leader is not here, you won't call other people to come, where the things are shipped from, they should always know." It's really useless, if you don't explain the little things clearly, you can't do it. ”

The man grimaced, bowed his head and didn't dare to say anything.

Liu Qingyan was in a heavy mood, frowned and persuaded: "Uncle Min, don't scold him, even if you call someone here, what can you do if you ask him?" If the transport team dares to do this, there must be someone behind them to support them, and this person's background must not be small, and you will not be able to handle this matter. ”

Uncle Min waved his hand to let the guy retreat, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'll immediately send a letter to the master and let the master handle it." Take the waterway, if the master is in the city, there will be an echo in three days. ”

"Trouble Uncle Min, I'll go back and wait for good news." Liu Qingyan bowed.

Uncle Min hurriedly returned the salute, "Miss Liu doesn't have to be polite, this is my business." ”

After finishing speaking, he took up the pen and wrote a letter, and after sealing it, he asked someone to send it to Fucheng immediately, the situation was urgent and urgent.

On the way back, Liu Qingyan kept thinking about who was hiding behind the scenes and reaching out to her.

After the recipe of salted duck eggs and Songhua eggs spread, these two items are no longer rare, and the demand for restaurants has dropped a lot; As for the production method of koji rice noodles, who revealed it?

The people in the workshop have all signed the death contract, and the most likely is the group of people from Huang Zhuao.

The next day, Liu Qingyan took the maid Qiu'er to Huangzhu'ao with a bunch of gifts.

The courtyard of the Xie family is no longer what it used to be, the area has expanded by more than half, and the yellow mud courtyard wall has been replaced by green bricks, giving it a new look.

The Xie family was very happy to see Liu Qingyan, and the fast-talking Cai pulled her to talk about the new good things that happened at home.

"Your brother Wu's mother-in-law is pregnant with a baby, and Xiaowu's mother-in-law has also made up her mind, and she will get married in September. Yan girl, you must come to the banquet then, and you will not be happy if you don't come to your aunt. ”

Liu Qingyan looked at Kong Chunxiang, who had a slight bulge in her lower abdomen, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to my eldest aunt on being promoted to grandmother." ”

Kong Chunxiang looked a little uncomfortable under her gaze, and smiled and looked away.

In the end, it was Xie Laohan who was thoughtful, guessing that Liu Qingyan suddenly came to Huangzhuao at this time, there must be a reason for it, and asked: "Yan girl, do you have anything important to do today?" ”

Liu Qingyan smiled, and said in a very serious tone: "Grandpa, someone leaked the recipe for making koji rice noodles and replaced my business with Ruyilou. ”

As soon as her words came out, everyone was shocked, only Kong Chunxiang only flashed her eyes, as if she had already counted in her chest.

Liu Qingyan took Kong Chunxiang's expression into her eyes and sneered in her heart.

Xie Laohan slapped the table and was angry, "Who is so bold that he dares to betray you, and I will definitely not spare him if I find out." ”

"People who are still working in the workshop naturally don't, and the problem lies with those who didn't go." Liu Qingyan looked at Kong Chunxiang, her expression seemed to be smiling.

Kong Chunxiang hung her head slightly to dodge.

"Yan girl, even if you take a knife to the neck of your aunt's family, you will never be able to do anything to harm you. Otherwise, it would be something inferior to a beast. To let me know who did it, I sat at his door with a kitchen knife and a cutting board every day and scolded. Cai waved his arms and jumped his feet.

The rest of the Xie family also said that they would not betray Liu Qingyan, and said that they would strictly investigate this person.

Mrs. Xie clung her chest, cried and scolded, "If your conscience is eaten by a dog, my granddaughter kindly asks you to work, and you will harm her when you learn it." God has a long eye, so I can't help but come and take you away. ”

Liu Qingyan persuaded Mrs. Xie, looked at Kong Chunxiang and said coldly: "As long as that person tells who the person who bought her is, I won't pursue it." ”

Kong Chunxiang felt her icy gaze, raised her head and bit her lip without speaking.

"Dawu daughter-in-law, could it be you?" Xie Laohan drank coldly.

"What?" Cai ran over and raised his palms to clap, remembering that Kong Chunxiang was pregnant and put it down, he stomped his feet and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, how could you do such a conscience thing." Our family can have a good life today, all thanks to Yan girl, how can you not know what to do! ”

Kong Chunxiang knelt on the ground and cried: "Mother, it's not me, I don't have the guts." If I had done it, you would have to leave me. It's all my fault, I shouldn't have asked my relatives to work in my cousin's workshop, they did it. ”

"This ......" Cai looked at Liu Qingyan and stopped talking, Kong Chunxiang was pregnant with a child in her belly, what if she knelt down.

Liu Qingyan sighed, her expression eased, and said, "You get up and make your words clear." ”

Cai Shi hurriedly helped Kong Chunxiang up.

"Years ago...... Someone came to a few of them and called them...... After a year, they went to work, saying that the wages were ..... twice as high as they are now, and they went. Kong Chunxiang sobbed and said intermittently.

"Who is that person, those relatives of your mother's family, where are they now?" Liu Qingyan asked.

"I don't know, they came back and said that the workshop was in a village outside the city, and it was also making koji rice noodles."

Cai was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said: "Why didn't you say it earlier, so that Yan Yatou could also take precautions, and in vain we let you take back the recipe for making dried bamboo shoots." ”

Liu Qingyan listened to it and said in surprise: "Did you still give her the recipe for dried bamboo shoots and take it back to her parents' house?" ”

"Seeing that she was pregnant with a child, and said that her mother's life was hard, and her heart was uncomfortable, I thought that my family was having a better time now, and my heart was soft, so I gave her the prescription." Cai said ashamedly.

Liu Qingyan wanted to vomit blood, and when life was better in this family, she was in a hurry to give up the method of making money to others.

After thinking about it again, the recipe spread, at most, the price of dried bamboo shoots is lower, as long as the life of my grandfather's family is passable, it's just that!

At this point, she couldn't ask anything, so she said goodbye at that time, and the Xie family tried their best to keep it.

Liu Qingyan said that the car was still waiting at the intersection, and the Xie family had no choice but to let it go.

At this time, the messenger arranged by Uncle Min had arrived in Fucheng.

Xiao Yuan, Luo Xiangxuan, study.

Xiao Qi, who was still dressed in white, sat at the table, cut open the envelope sealed with honey wax, took out the letter paper and unfolded it, read the contents of the letter, and said to the messenger standing in front of him: "You go back first, tell Uncle Min that I will arrive later." ”

The messenger received the order, bowed and immediately withdrew.

Xiao Qi calmly took out the fire fold and lit the letter paper and threw it into the brazier, watching the letter roll in the flames and finally turn into ashes.

After a moment of silence, he opened a dark compartment behind the bookshelf and pulled out a scroll.

Go back to the table and sit down, spread out the scroll, it's a painting.

A woman is outlined in very simple lines on the paper, but the woman is missing a pair of eyes, which is obviously an unfinished painting.
