"It's best if the eldest lady can figure it out." Bai Zhi smiled, "Your body is conditioned by slaves and maids, and slaves and maids are not allowed to spoil you." ”

"I'm sure I figured it out." Ning Ruyan's heart also opened up at this time, "I want to bathe in the water, and ah, I will call the eldest lady when there is no one in the future." "The position of the eldest lady of the General's Mansion who was proud of her previous life, whoever likes to sit in the future, she will not sit anyway.

"Yes, Miss." Bai Zhi nodded, and then hurriedly went out to pass hot water in, and brought in a bowl of soup medicine.

Ning Ruyan was convinced of Bai Zhi's medical skills, so she drank it without hesitation, and then sat down in the bathtub and sighed comfortably.

On February 12, the 21st year of Ansheng, it was half a year when she married into the General's Mansion, and today in her previous life, news came from the border pass, Jiang Bonian was killed in the battle of Antongguan two months ago, and the 30,000 soldiers who fought with him were not alive, and even the bones were gone.

In her previous life, as soon as she saw the bloody jade pendant sent back, she fainted directly, and when she woke up again, the entire general's mansion was besieged by Yulinwei, and her father-in-law Jiang Changgong and brother-in-law Jiang Bowen were both sent to Nanyuan Prison.

In her previous life, she spent money to beg for someone, and in the end, she even got into it herself, what was the result?

With a snap, Ning Ruyan slapped the water hard, in this life, she must let them taste the taste of life is worse than death.

"Miss, Mama Zhong is here." Sang Ye reported at the door of the bathroom, "It was said that the general's wife had woken up, and asked her to come and visit the eldest lady." ”

"Let's just say that I'm too sad and weak, and I can't see anyone for the time being." Ning Ruyan came out of the bathtub, put on a middle coat and asked Bai Zhi Banxia to help her comb her hair.

Mulberry turned and went out.

"Phew." Banxia pouted, "In the past six months, the expenses of the General's Mansion have been used with our eldest lady's dowry silver, but as soon as the eldest lady fainted, the doctor didn't look for one, if it wasn't for Sister Bai Zhi's medical skills, then the eldest lady would ......."

Ning Ruyan smiled and was noncommittal: "Is Zhang Jian still in the outer courtyard?" ”

"Yes." Bai Zhi nodded, "In the livestock house, however, the people in the house don't treat him very well, so he can only do some rough work." ”

"Banxia, you go and ask him to come over, I have something to tell him to do."

Banxia answered, turned around and ran out.

Zhang Jian came quickly, kowtowing through the bead curtain outside the door to say goodbye.

"Zhang Jian, come in and talk." Ning Ruyan spoke.

Zhang Jian kept his head down after entering the door, his eyes were not fluttering at all, and the rules were impeccable.

"Zhang Jian, after I saved you, you said that you would swear allegiance to me, right?"

"Zhang Jian's life was saved by the eldest lady, and that is the eldest lady's."

"But, is your name really Zhang Jian?" Ning Ruyan got up and walked to Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian knelt down, choked with red eyes, and said: "Miss, the slave has a deep hatred of blood, so he has to hide it from the eldest lady, but please believe that the slave will not betray the eldest lady even if he dies." ”

"I believe what you say." Ning Ruyan bent down and helped the person up, "Now I want you to do something, you need to be safe and loyal." ”

"The slave swears that it will be done." Zhang Jian's eyes were very firm.

"Then listen up." Ning Ruyan looked at the other party, "I want you to go to the north gate of the land temple to buy a hidden house, as long as it is firm and strong and large enough to store materials, in addition, there is a Bazi village about ten miles out of the north city gate, there is a small Bazi Mountain behind the village, you want to find a way to buy the Bazi Mountain and the land at the foot of the mountain, and the rest of the money will all buy grain, charcoal, cotton and medicinal materials, you can buy as much as you can......" said and gestured to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi handed a box to Zhang Jian.

"I'll give you 50,000 taels first, and if it's not enough, I'll go to Dongli Winery to find the nine shopkeepers, and there are still the medicine lists I wrote and the letter to the nine shopkeepers in the box."

Zhang Jian looked at the thick stack of silver tickets in the box, and opened his mouth in surprise: "Miss, you...... Do you really believe in minions? "Fifty thousand taels, this is a huge amount of money, although he swore allegiance, but he didn't expect to give so much silver.

"Why don't you believe it?" Ning Ruyan looked up at him slightly, "Zhang Jian, you said that you have a deep hatred in the sea of blood, then make yourself strong, only when you are strong, can you keep what you want to keep, and you can get back what belongs to you." "In his previous life, this person was able to go blind with a lame leg in order to save her, so he was naturally worthy of her trust.

Zhang Jian's eyes flickered, and his eyes were slightly red: "Miss, you only understand what you said, but Shinong is a businessman, this businessman...... How powerful? A lot of times, you can't keep what you've earned. ”

"That's because the influence is not enough, and the small traders and hawkers really can't hold it, but what if a person can hold the lifeblood of an industry? Can it even grasp the economic lifeblood of a country? ”

Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment, and his eyes instantly lit up: "The slave understands." ”

"Go ahead." Ning Ruyan patted Zhang Jian's shoulder, "I believe in you, and you should also believe in me." ”

Zhang Jian knelt down again with red eyes, and after knocking his head three times, he got up again and walked away with the box.

"Miss, what are you doing with so much charcoal and grain?" Banxia waited for Zhang Jian to leave, and couldn't help asking, "We still have a lot of stock in our grain store." ”

"I'm not afraid of too much food." Ning Ruyan's eyes narrowed slightly, she couldn't say that she had experienced a snowstorm this winter in her previous life, right? Even next summer, there is a flood in the south, in the previous life, it was because some officials neglected their duties, resulting in some granaries being empty, so a lot of people died, and even around the capital there were scenes of Yizi eating, again, she wanted to build a foundation for herself to establish a reputation, of course, she couldn't bear to let the people starve to death, "Moreover, our Ning family started with wine, and in my dowry shop, Dongli Winery is also the most profitable one, I also want to expand the scale and increase the variety of wine, so the more food the better." ”

"It's still the eldest lady who thinks thoughtfully." Banxia couldn't help but nod her head in admiration, "But I remember that Bazi Mountain doesn't seem to grow much grain, and Sister Vanilla in the second room is a village over there, and the food grows badly every year, and she can't eat enough, otherwise her father and mother wouldn't have sold her to the General's Mansion as a slave." ”

"I don't plan to grow food." Ning Ruyan hooked the corners of his mouth, the reason why Bazi Mountain does not grow grain is because it is a mine, and there is an iron mine below.
