The business of the sugar workshop is thriving, and Ye Zhen is very busy every day.

Even the sadness caused by the news of sending Zhao Yi away was slowly faded by the passage of time.

It didn't take long for Fu Ru'an to send some more people to find Ye Zhen.

Although there were enough manpower, Fu Ruan always felt that she needed to add more manpower.

"Young Master Fu asked you to come?"

Ye Zhen put the things in his hand on the table, and looked at the person in front of him with clear eyes.

"Yes, Mrs. Xie, our young master said that now the sugar workshop is getting bigger and bigger, and I'm afraid that a few people will not be able to keep busy, so I asked us to come and give you a hand."

The people in front of him introduced themselves one by one.

Ye Zhen was a little surprised for a while, and he didn't know why Fu Ru'an was so powerful and where he found so many people.

"Okay, you go to the back kitchen to find Lin Bin first, and then he will assign you tasks."

Ye Zhen counted the number of people and said slowly.

The people in front of them all nodded, and then walked to the back kitchen.

This time the movement was quite big, and it didn't take long for the matter to reach the ears of the Qingcheng County Order.

"What you said is true?"

Qingcheng County Commander was a little strange and asked.

"Naturally, it's true, my lord, we sent people to follow the Fu family before, and we found that they would send people to a place on a regular basis."

The little guy thought slowly, and then continued to answer.

The county magistrate listened to the words, and the emotions between his eyebrows became stronger and stronger.

"Where are you going?"

The county magistrate raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, and asked slowly.

"We don't know the specifics, but we do know that they often meet with a lady Xie."

The little guy thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought of Ye Zhen.

It's just that they didn't get too close, and they didn't know what Ye Zhen's name was, but they probably knew the surname.

"Mrs. Xie?"

The county magistrate groped his chin, and a little curiosity flashed in his expression.

"It's a woman."

The little guy nodded hurriedly in affirmation.

The county commander was busy patting his legs, a little excited.

"Quick! Send someone to find out about them!"

The county commander suddenly felt that he had found a way to get closer to Fu Ru'an.

The Fu family is considered a big family here, and if they can get in touch with the Fu family, I am afraid that they are also extremely powerful people.

It didn't take long for the prefectural order to get word from them.

"You say they're the sons and daughters-in-law of the former prime minister?"

The county magistrate listened to the words of the little guy in front of him, and was a little reluctant to believe it.

He fumbled with the teacup in his hand, the hot water in it making him shiver.

"Exactly."

The little guy looked at the county order in front of him and hesitated.

"Then that's going to be hard."

The county commander raised his eyes and looked at the map of the rivers and mountains not far away, and his heart was inexplicably a little more complicated.

"What are you worried about?"

The little servant looked up at him, and his words were suppressed, as if they were about to erupt.

"Nowadays, the situation between the DPRK and China is volatile, and we must learn to judge the situation when we stand in line."

The county magistrate raised his eyes and motioned for the little guy to close the door.

After the little guy finished everything, he walked up to the county magistrate and spoke respectfully.

"What do you have in mind?"

The county commander couldn't help sighing, as if there was a knot in his heart, and it took a long time before he slowly spoke.

"My connections in the court are unstable now, and I don't have a good relationship with the previous prime minister, if I offend the one in the court in order to please Fu Ru'an, I'm afraid I will lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds."

After thinking about it, the county commander couldn't help but continue to speak.

If he wants to curry favor with Fu Ru'an, he must get close to the Xie family and his wife, but if he gets close to the Xie family and his wife, this matter will spread to the court at that time.

It can also be very problematic.

"But now in the entire Qingcheng, only the Fu family is the most powerful, if the adults want to leave here, except for clinging to the Fu family, I'm afraid there is no one else who can help."

Although Fu Ru'an is only the young master of the Shangjia family, his two uncles are in the highest positions, if they can be promoted, I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before he leaves this ghost place.

Not long after the sugar workshop was on the right path, the Fu family's sugar business soon got good news.

The person who came to report the news was Fu Shan, the most important housekeeper by Fu Ru'an's side, and he was always responsible for the sales channels of sugar.

In the past few days, he has transported rock sugar to the Jiangnan area through various people.

Surprisingly, many people in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River like the taste of rock sugar, which is sweet in the mouth, but not greasy.

"Young master, according to the stewards of various families, once this rock candy was sold, it was liked by many people, and many dignitaries even paid a high price to buy it."

The rock candy business is so prosperous, Fu Ruan could have guessed it a long time ago, but now it is beyond his expectation that he can be so liked by everyone.

"Is there any statistics in the family ledger now?"

Fu Ru'an raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, and couldn't hold back the surprise in his heart.

"If you go back to the young master, I found someone to count it a few days ago."

Fu Shan handed the account book in his hand to Fu Ru'an, and said slowly.

"I have already arranged for people to count, and now there are at least tens of thousands of taels in the account."

"And that's just the dividends."

Fu Shan sighed, and was even happier for his young master in his heart.

Fu Ru'an couldn't help but be surprised, his eyes widened, as if he wanted to study the ledger in front of him again.

"The business is so good this time, and the Xie family and his wife have contributed a lot."

Fu Ruan stretched out his hand and clicked on the dividends on the account book, and couldn't help sighing.

He hooked up with Ye Zhen's relationship, and it was indeed an excellent path.

"According to the young master's instructions, the dividends have been discharged, and it must be a few days before Mrs. Xie's family should have received it."

Fu Shan counted the account book in front of him and hurriedly spoke.

"I've always been at ease with you."

Fu Ru'an nodded in affirmation, and then continued.

"In the past few days, if there is anything else needed over there, even if you are instructed to go, don't treat others badly, if it weren't for their big family, maybe our sugar business wouldn't be doing so well."

After hearing Fu Ru'an say this, Fu Shan nodded hurriedly and went down directly.

In less than a month, Ye Zhen received a dividend of more than 10,000 taels.

"Yunshu, I can't imagine that I have received so much money today."

Ye Zhen looked at the silver two in front of him in surprise.

This is something that has never been seen in the county town before.

"So happy?"

Xie Yunshu reached out and pinched Ye Zhen's face, and spoke softly.

"Of course, I didn't expect Fu Ru'an to be so generous, and it is indeed a good thing to cooperate with such a person."

Ye Zhen looked at the silver two in front of him, unable to hide the joy in his heart, and also wanted to be able to share it with his family.

"Tomorrow, how about we go to Mochizuki Tower for a meal?"

Before Xie Yunshu could speak, he heard Zhao Yi running out with a happy face.

"Auntie, are you going to eat something delicious tomorrow?"

"yes, Xiaoyi."

Ye Zhen bent down and hooked Zhao Yi's nose, revealing a bit of indifference in his voice.

"yes."

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Yi pestered Ye Zhen to make a sugar painting for him.

After he came to Qingcheng, he rarely went out.

Now when I go out, I want to run around with candy.

It seems to be a child's temperament, but it is also in the mood to show off.

"Zhao Yi, slow down."

Ye Zhen followed behind Zhao Yi and couldn't help but shout softly.

There was a bit of helplessness in his tone.

Xie Yunshu took her hand and spoke softly.

"You don't have to be in such a hurry, Zhao Yi is still a child, so naturally he doesn't understand this."

Ye Zhen had no choice but to nod, and his expression was a little more indifferent.

The group soon came to the Moon Tower.

This is the Fu family's restaurant, and the business is naturally lively.

Ye Zhen first booked a private room, and then was told by the shopkeeper.

"Hello guest officer, now that the private room is full, if you want to eat now, can you sit outside?"

The shopkeeper pointed not far away, where there were still a few empty places.

It looks a little lively, and it's still the kind by the window.

Ye Zhen is not picky, although Xie Yunshu is a little clean, but for Ye Zhen's sake, he didn't say anything more.

Zhao Yi happily ran onto the table, and then obediently poured tea for Ye Zhen, Xie Yunshu and Lin Bin.

"Hey, Zhao Yi is so well-behaved."

Ye Zhen looked at Zhao Yi in front of him with his cheeks and couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Yi's face turned red, and he looked not far away very shyly.

Ye Zhen had just ordered a few cold dishes, and now they have been delivered.

"Auntie, you can order my favorite cucumber."

"Naturally, little glutton."

Ye Zhen pinched Zhao Yi's face and couldn't help but tease.

Zhao Yi nodded with satisfaction.

"I know that my aunt is the best."

Ye Zhen didn't say anything more, just waited for the dishes to come up, and then put all the meat dishes in front of Zhao Yi.

Xie Yunshu also smiled, inexplicably feeling that Zhao Yi, this kid, might be a sticky person when he grows up in the future.

"Why is there one dish missing?"

Ye Zhen counted, and there was a lack of Xie Yunshu's favorite pork knuckle.

The crystal pork knuckle here is a specialty.

Xie Yunshu has always been a vegetarian, but he likes to eat crystal pork knuckle the most.

Ye Zhen didn't know how to do this, but he had heard that this dish in Mochizuki Tower was a famous dish.

"Did the shopkeeper forget, you eat first, and I'll urge you."

Xie Yunshu wanted to get up, but was stopped by Ye Zhen.

She said softly.

"Today, you are the ones who enjoy it, and I will do all the rest."

After Ye Zhen finished speaking, he got up and left.

Xie Yunshu looked at Ye Zhen's back as he left, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Ye Zhen went to the shopkeeper in the order in which the dishes had just been served.

But when she didn't find the shopkeeper, she saw a drunken man.

The smell of alcohol was smoking, Ye Zhen covered his mouth and nose and wanted to walk over quickly, but was suddenly pulled by someone.

"Hey, little beauty, come and have a drink with me."

The gentleman was drunk, but he had a lot of strength.

She couldn't move even when she pulled Ye Zhen, so she had to try hard to shake off his hand.

"What are you doing, how are you running?"

The gentleman hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Ye Zhen's waist.

At this moment, Xie Yunshu, who was waiting in place, felt that something was wrong, he just wanted to look for Ye Zhen, but was suddenly stopped by Lin Bin.

"Gongzi Xie, you are watching Xiao Shizi here, I'll go find her."

Xie Yunshu frowned, a little unhappy.

"Why?"

Lin Bin lowered his eyes and just said silently.

"Madame, I'm afraid I'm in trouble, you and Xiao Shizi should stay here."

Lin Bin left without saying a word.

Soon found Ye Zhen, who was entangled by a man.

Lin Bin stepped forward with the servant and punched the man in the face directly.

Ye Zhen came back to her senses at this time, she frowned, and said in disgust.

"It's disgusting."

Ye Zhen lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Bin not far away, and spoke.

"Go and call the shopkeeper."

Lin Bin nodded, then ordered someone to call the steward, and then took a few servants to beat up the man who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Xie Yunshu came quickly, he asked someone to take care of Zhao Yi, and he couldn't let go of it in his heart, so he hurried over.

He stretched out his hand and pulled Ye Zhen behind him, looking at the belated shopkeeper with an ugly face.

"What does that mean?"
