"Who?"

As soon as Zhang Xuehai left, the impatience on the county commander's face obviously dissipated a lot, and his tone became gentler.

Before, he only thought that this subordinate would do things, and with his sweet mouth, he was quite favored.

Now that the purchase of sugarcane has been exposed, the county magistrate sees that Zhang Xuehai is not right anywhere, and he doesn't want to deal with him at all.

"Just now, the shopkeeper of Mochizuki Tower handed over a post to his subordinates and set up a banquet."

"Fu Heng?"

Before the master's words landed, the county commander looked at him in shock, his eyes full of eagerness.

As for the sugarcane, he has also had a thorn in his heart these days, and he has never been able to pull it out.

But there has been no movement on the side of Wangyue Tower, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to urge, so as not to make Fu Ru'an bored.

"Shopkeeper Fu pulled me and said Fu Gongzi's order, which means that it has to be purchased according to the original price of seven cents per catty."

In front of the county order, the master did not hide all the news he had gotten, but his eyes were fixed on the other party.

Sure enough, the county commander's face changed instantly when he heard the news, and he was obviously a little confused and angry.

"Qiwen?! Is Fu Gongzi stupid?!"

Even though he didn't dare to make a mistake with Fu Ru'an, he still didn't have much scruples in private.

The master is an old man who has been with the county commander for more than ten years, and to be honest, he even accompanies Song Wan more than his wife.

The trust between the two is incomparable.

Seeing that the county order was angry, the master quickly shook the paper fan in his hand and whispered in the other party's ear:

"Your Excellency! Well, there's a lot going on here!"

He pretended to be mysterious and said that he sold a pass in front of the other party first.

The master promised Fu Heng to appease the county order, and successfully purchased sugarcane at the price of seven cents, and thought of the plan on the way here.

What kind of temper the county order is, he knows it very well, he is a person who can't rub sand in his eyes.

If he concealed his meeting with Fu Heng today, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the other party and leave hidden dangers.

It's better to make the words clear directly, and he will persuade them carefully, which will be safer.

His own county order is indeed a little rigid and conceited, but he is not a person who can't listen to persuasion at all, otherwise the master would have looked for another master a long time ago.

"What's the article?"

Sure enough, hearing what the master said, the anger on the county commander's face was significantly reduced.

Angry is angry, he still has a clear mind, even if Fu Ruan doesn't let go, he can't do anything.

He didn't dare to fight against the other party, even if he was a local snake, but the other party's background was even more terrifying.

The county order wants to climb up too much.

Smiling slightly, seeing that the other party had taken the hook, the master slowly recounted the reason Fu Heng had said.

"I heard the shopkeeper Fu say that Fu Gongzi has always been weak and has reached the point where he can't go out. But recently I came to our county, and my body has inexplicably recovered a lot, so I feel that our city has good feng shui, so I bought sugarcane at a high price and prayed for my body!"

In fact, this always sounds a bit outrageous, how can any feng shui save lives?

Although people in ancient times were ignorant and some people believed in ghosts and gods, it does not mean that everyone is like this.

Especially a rich child like Fu Ru'an, he will not believe in such superstitions.

But the problem is that Fu Ru'an has indeed been much better in recent times, and he can see people.

There is no doubt about this, and with this premise, the county commander believed the master's words for eight or nine points.

"Really?"

But he still had a little doubt in his heart, and he could be regarded as giving the other party enough face in this matter, and he discussed with the other party with good words, but was refused.

If this had been put on someone else, he would have been furious.

The master had long expected that just such an explanation would definitely not convince the county order, so he hurriedly added it.

"My lord, if you think about it carefully, Fu Gongzi can run Mochizuki Tower well, and he must also be a person with brains. He has spoken, how can this be fake?"

Although I haven't seen Fu Ru'an, according to the master's speculation, the richest man in Jiangnan must also be a very smart person.

And the county order who saw Fu Ru'an's side, thought about it carefully in his heart, with the other party's heavenly appearance, it is indeed not like a person who can harm his own interests.

"Besides, let's take a step back and say, even if Fu Gongzi just found a casual reason to deal with you, but his attitude is already so clear, is it possible that we want to give up our efforts and offend him?"

Put all the reasonableness in front of the county order, the master knows very well in his heart, how the other party will choose after weighing the pros and cons.

However, he still has to say what needs to be said.

"Your sugar is worth a thousand gold now, even if you raise the price of sugarcane to seven cents per catty, it is still a very profitable business! It's better to be a favor and win a little favor from Fu Gongzi!"

Under the persuasion of a sentence of Xiaozhi with emotion and reason, the county order was finally shaken, and finally decided to buy sugarcane at the price of seven cents according to what Fu Heng said.

This news soon reached Zhang Xuehai's ears.

"What you say is true?!"

Hearing the news from his subordinates, Zhang Xuehai, who had just sat down, was so shocked that he couldn't even hold the teacup in his hand and fell on the table.

The tea slowly flowed down the table and dripped on the ground, but the person kneeling opposite was afraid to come out.

"Hui, Lord Hui, my subordinates have indeed received an order from the county magistrate to inform you that they will buy sugar cane at a price of seven cents per catty in the future."

As Zhang Xuehai's subordinate, this officer and soldier knew very well that the other party had recently been angry about sugarcane.

But the news from the county order today is even more surprising, he actually compromised with Mochizuki Tower?!

This is what Zhang Xuehai didn't expect, he knew that the county order was a person, and he took his own interests very seriously.

How can such a person give in casually?

"Could it be that not long after I came out, the prefectural magistrate gave an order?"

The officer and soldier nodded hesitantly, with a look of horror and embarrassment on his face, and opened his mouth, finally telling the other party another bad news.

"The prefectural magistrate also explained that it was the purchase of sugarcane, and in the future, it will be handed over to the master of the Ministry of Agriculture, so that you can take care of the affairs of the workshop. The lord also said that since you have offended the shopkeeper Fu, you should have less contact with Mochizuki Tower, so as not to provoke the other party's displeasure."

The words were stumbling, but the specific content was clear, and there was no leakage at all.

After listening to the reply, Zhang Xuehai couldn't hold back any longer, swept the teacup off the table and fell to the ground.

The crisp sound startled the officers and soldiers to retreat again and again, and threw themselves on the ground and begged for mercy.

But where did Zhang Xuehai have the heart to deal with him, at this moment, he was so angry that his face was distorted.

"What a Mochizuki Tower! What a Fu Heng!"

The sugar business of the prefectural order has been monopolized by him all these years, and this errand is very lucrative, and many people are very greedy.

But Zhang Xuehai relied on his flattering skills and Song Wan's pillow style to grasp this errand tightly, and never let anyone interfere.

Even if others are greedy, they have to take into account the power of the Zhang family and the wishes of the county order.

Now, just because of a Moon Tower, he has been coldly disposed of by the decentralization, and Zhang Xuehai's mouth is almost crooked.

"Someone! Hurry up and go to the prefectural government!"

His personal servant hurriedly walked in and stopped a step away.

Seeing this, the officers and men who came and returned the news hurriedly got up and left, and were very glad that they had survived the disaster.

"Master, didn't you promise Madame to go back to your parents' house with her today to visit Mrs. Song Futai?"

The little guy cautiously reminded Zhang Xuehai, looking at him with a look of horror in his eyes.

Anyone can see it, right in front of you

's man is now in a state of anger.

"Where can I take care of her right now! Do as I say!"

Now that his position is almost unkept, where does he still have the heart to accompany his wife back to his parents' house, he is extremely impatient.

Hearing this, the little guy had no choice but to retreat, hurriedly went out, and went straight to the county mansion.

On the other hand, Mrs. Zhang Xuehai, who learned that she had been breached, even though she had a lot of complaints in her heart, finally endured this anger and went back to her parents' house alone.

In the past few days, the eldest lady of the Song Mansion, that is, Song Wan's mother-in-law, has been feeling a little unwell. Even yesterday's cherry blossom viewing party, she never got up to participate.

Mrs. Wu, who learned the news, also hurried to the Song Mansion to visit her aunt. When she arrived, she happened to run into her own cousin.

"Cousin."

Compared with Song Wan, an inaffectionate cousin, Mrs. Wu has a much better relationship with this cousin who is somewhat related by blood.

"You're pregnant, you can't run around."

Mrs. Zhang's lower abdomen is slightly bulging, the fetus in her arms has been five months old, and her figure is also a little fat.

If she talks about her appearance, she is still delicate, but compared to Song Wanlai, she is a little less colorful.

The two walked together and entered Mrs. Song's house.

After saying hello, in order to prevent her pregnant daughter from getting sick, Mrs. Song asked the two to sit in the outhouse and talk through the curtain from a distance.

After chatting a few words, Mrs. Wu saw that her cousin seemed to have some anger on her face, so she asked directly.

"It's not my husband, who hasn't seen anyone all day, and he promised to come back with me to visit his mother, but who knows that he has temporarily changed his hexagram!"

Speaking of this, she couldn't hide the dissatisfaction in her heart, and she counted many Zhang Xuehai's mistakes before she could stop.

In front of outsiders, she has to pretend to be generous and calm, and perform the relationship between Qin Se and Ming with her husband.

But in front of her relatives, she didn't have to hold it and told all the bitterness buried in her heart.

Speaking of this cousin, she is quite similar to Mrs. Wu's temperament, they are both outspoken people and don't have too many scheming.

Hearing her words, Mrs. Song in the room coughed a few times, and then spoke:

"That's it, this marriage was made up at the beginning, as long as their Zhang family doesn't treat you harshly, you don't care about those troubles."

The Zhang family and the Song family are also local clans, and the two families are on a par with each other. One is an official position in the county government, and the other is the daughter of the wife of the county magistrate.

But the inner clan relationship of the Zhang Mansion is quite complicated, and it is much more troublesome than the Song family, which is inherited in one lineage, and Zhang Xuehai's father's generation alone has three or four rooms.

In ancient times, clans were rarely separated, and they lived separately unless they were separated from each other, and the same generation was basically under one roof.

This is the case with the Zhang family, and now Boss Zhang is still alive, and his three younger brothers are also still alive. There are many people and many contradictions.

Zhang Xuehai is now the head of the Zhang family, and his wife should also have the right to be a housekeeper, but there are many elders in the house, so it is not her turn at all.

The husband doesn't hurt, and the relationship in the house is complicated, so there are always some intrigues and annoyances. If it weren't for Mrs. Zhang's mother's toughness, she wouldn't have known what it would be like to be bullied!

"Auntie, now that my cousin is pregnant, I can't let them be bullied by the Zhang family like before!"

Mrs. Song only asks for peace, but when Mrs. Wu hears that her cousin is being bullied, where can she sit still?
