Chapter 51 The Vicious Wife (22)

Oh?
What does it mean?
Wan Cen tentatively said: "So, why don't you stop the medicine for a while and lend me a few hundred taels?"

Unexpectedly, Ji Ning, who was still smiling, suddenly stopped in his tracks, and his face turned cold: "No, the body is mine, and the money is also mine. Why should I let my body be alone? Could it be that the little concubine will fight me?" Seeing the child crawling on my head? Could it be possible for your mother to point at my nose and call me a hen that doesn’t lay eggs?”

Wan Cen had nothing to say, because Wan's mother had ridiculed Ji Ning in front of him more than once, but at that time Ji Ning was crying silently and didn't dare to resist.

I don't know when, Ji Ning is no longer the forbearing and weak woman in his impression, but has become sharp-tongued, making him speechless every time.

In this way, the two arrived at Ji's house, and after the initial period, Father Ji didn't have to go to the store every day, not to mention that he recently bought a few other stores, planning to start a rice grain business that can make a profit without losing money.

Ji's father was smiling when he heard Ji Ning's arrival, but he followed Ji Ning's suggestion and added a lot of scented tea to the store, but the sales were very good.

However, when he looked up and saw Wan Cen who was following behind Ji Ning, his smile became more distant, but he still asked Wan Cen about his studies patiently and politely.

Wan Cen didn't want to wait for Father Ji's words, so he repeated what he said to Ji Ning just now.

"Wan Cen, it's not that I don't help you, it's just that this is the business. The money I bought for the shop at the beginning, the cost of hiring people, and the money for buying goods are all beyond my means. I haven't been in business for a long time, and I don't even have the money. Come on, then a little silver is only enough to purchase the goods, otherwise the tea leaves will run out, and this business will not be able to continue.”

"But."

"I heard that the imperial merchant who provided tea to the imperial court is about to change. I'm planning to fight for it. It's a pity that money is too tight. All you know are Master Juren. It must be selling your face. Why don't you borrow some money and then Lend it to the Ji family, anyway, the Ji family and the Wan family are in-laws, when the Ji family becomes an imperial merchant, they can still help you, right?"

Wan Cen wanted to vomit blood when he heard that, he still needs the help of a businessman?

The Ji family just came to the capital, and they want to compete for the imperial business, but how dare they think about it!

Wan Cen only felt that the Ji family was too good at doing business. Since it was an investment in the early stage, he was willing to buy such an expensive shop, and it would be better to rent it.

Because he couldn't borrow any money, even Wan Cen didn't want to continue to be a lowly child in Ji's house, his face was so foul-smelling, and he left after a while, making Ji's father even more disappointed and shaking his head.

"Hey, he is a snobbish person. I was deceived by him at the beginning. If he is like this, if he becomes an official in the future, he may not be a parent official."

"Anyway, we won't participate in his future. Don't be angry with irrelevant people. How long will it take for those people to arrive?"

"It's estimated to be here in three to five days. You can bear with it for now, but I refused to lend him money today. I'm afraid I will take it out on you when you go back."

"Father, don't worry, I have a plan. How is mother?"

"Your mother's health has improved a lot. She just took the medicine and rested first. Why don't we go to the store to have a look?"

Ji Huai studied with Mr. Ji today, so Ji Ning went to the store with Ji's father. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he went to the vacant shop to look at it. will lose money.

Just watching, a waiter from the teahouse came to report, saying that someone was causing trouble in the teahouse, and the two rushed to it immediately.

The troublemaker looked like a stubborn boy, dressed in silk clothes, either rich or noble, stepping on a clerk defiantly, while many clerks around him were beaten black and swollen by the servants behind him.

Hearing the guys in the building call Ji's father's boss, he couldn't help but look at the two of them arrogantly, and pointed at Ji Ning casually: "Come here and sing two ditties for me, and you, take the good ones from your shop. Pack some of the tea leaves for me, so I won’t bother with you, or I will ask my father to seal up your teahouse.”

Ji Ning's eyes sharpened, and he looked at the guy beside him: "What happened?"

"Well, as soon as the young master came here, he said he wanted good tea, and the younger one gave him the best Maojian in the store. Who would have thought that the young master only took a sip and said that the young one brought him last year's tea. Tea, but the tea in the store is freshly picked in early spring this year, there is no old tea at all."

"Okay, it's none of your business here."

The man didn't take it seriously, full of arrogance: "I said it was Chen Cha, and he is Chen Cha. Don't try to fool me, hurry up and sing a little song for me."

Father Ji smiled when he saw this, and knew that it would be beneficial for the other party to cause trouble because he saw that they had no background, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "This young man looks so rich and rich. The villain seems to have met you a few days ago. I don't know that you are the county magistrate." My lord's son?"

"I didn't expect you, an old man, to be quite discerning. It's my son, so it's an honor for you to come to your shop to drink tea. If I'm not happy to serve you, I'll ask my father to seal your teahouse. "

"My lord, the little girl is already married. Wouldn't it be humiliating to sing a ditty for you? Why don't the villains decide to send you more high-quality tea and forget about it?"

The man was full of impatience, and threw the tea set on the table on the ground: "When will it be your turn to decide the matter of the master? Why don't you hurry up and sing for me."

At this moment, Ji's father was completely angry and wanted to take advantage of it. He knew that he couldn't overwhelm the bully, so he could back down temporarily, but it was absolutely impossible to humiliate his child, no matter how powerful the background was.

However, Father Ji just took a step forward when a figure came quickly: "Uncle Ji, I didn't expect you to be in the shop today."

"Zi Chen, what are you?"

Father Ji didn't understand why Wei Zichen appeared suddenly, and he wanted to not get him involved, but he didn't want Wei Zichen to take a step aside and introduce the person behind him to him.

"Zichen has been in Beijing for so long, he has been taken care of by Uncle Ji, and today he happened to be taught by Taifu Sun, so the first thing he thought of was to ask Taifu Sun to come here to support Uncle Ji. Someone is making trouble, I don't know why?"

Taifu Sun, that is the emperor's teacher. The current emperor is taught by him, and he is a person who respects teachers and morals. No one dares to offend Taifu Sun because of his high status in the court.

However, Mrs. Sun looked at the troublemaker with a frown, before speaking to him, he no longer had the arrogance just now, but stood aside obediently like a chick seeing an eagle.

"Is your father Ding Zhu?"

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Sun, why don't you come out to drink tea when you are free? It's better to meet you by chance. It's also a happy event for you to accept a proud student. Why don't you let me be your host today?"
