Pampered and fierce wife: Reborn daughter-in-law has a strategy

Sitting in Zhao Zhongren's house, Li Xinran sat upright and looked at Zhao Zhongren with a smile: "I don't have anything else to do when I come here this time. I just want to ask the middleman to choose a few nuns who are suitable for me. When the time comes, I will tell my mother."

Zhao Zhongren smiled and said: "If the eldest lady personally takes care of such a trivial matter, it is naturally what a villain should do."

Li Xinran smiled slightly: "The Chinese always choose people to come to my mother's house for her to choose. My mother has chosen many times. The Chinese will naturally choose people that my mother likes to bring with her. I am a Bian Guan. Come, I believe the middle-aged man also knows that what he likes is not the same as what the lady in Kyoto likes. After struggling a few times, I thought about it, it’s better for me to give the middle-aged man the instructions myself, so that I can find a few good ones. It's easy to get started with."

Zhao Zhongren smiled flatteringly: "What the lady said is that the villain thought it was easy. Will the lady move on and choose, or should I bring it to you to choose?"

Li Xinran raised her hand: "Let's go, I just want to take a walk and chat with the people in the house."

Li Xinran smiled gently, and the anxiety in Zhao Zhongren's heart also dropped a little.

On the way to the backyard, Li Xinran pretended to be casual and asked, "Are all the sales of the Li family's slaves done by passers-by?"

Zhao Zhongren bowed his waist and replied flatteringly: "Mrs. Chenggui Mansion trusts me. She has been with me these past few years."

"In the past few years? Weren't you the father of the middle-aged man before?" Li Xinran asked curiously. The little girl's clear eyes were full of pure questions, which made the experienced Zhao Zhongren's heart spin twice, and he smiled and said: "Then Not really, the one before was my master, and after my master retired, he handed over this stall to me."

Li Xinran smiled: "That person is really awesome. In just a few years, he has made this business a big success."

Zhao Zhongren smiled: "Miss, don't laugh at me. I'm over 30 now, and I still have a strong foundation built by my master. Please come over here, over here."

Li Xinran smiled and walked over without asking any more questions.

Zhao Zhongren's house is a four-room house with many rooms. Six to eight people live in one room. Some have a good environment and everyone is neatly dressed. Some are lazy. Although they are neatly dressed when they come out, they are not. There was mud on his hands. He was close and there was still a smell. Li Xinran happened to be thinking of a way to escape. When he saw those slovenly people, he frowned and turned around to leave.

Zhao Zhongren's expression changed when he saw it, and he gestured for everyone to go back, then turned around and chased Li Xinran.

"Miss, eldest lady! Slow down, slow down, the road here is uneven." Zhao Zhongren followed Li Xinran in three steps and two steps. Zhao Zhongren did not dare to say anything, but smiled ingratiatingly and said softly.

Li Xinran didn't want to offend Zhao Zhongren. He stopped after walking through the Moon Gate, but his face didn't look good: "If the middleman doesn't want to, there's no need to force him. Why did he take me to the backyard and let me see those dirty people?" reason?"

"Miss..." Zhao Zhongren wanted to say something flatteringly, but Li Xinran interrupted him directly: "Roadside vendors come out to set up stalls to sell goods. They all know how to package the goods to make them look better and wipe them clean. How come Zhongren Here, it’s up to them to do whatever they want, but what’s unreasonable is that we buy it and then wipe it ourselves? It’s too easy for the middle-aged people to make money.”

What Zhao Zhongren could say, he could only agree with a low eyebrow: "That's what the lady said."

Li Xinran sighed: "In the past few years, our family has relied on middlemen to buy and sell servants. Originally, I had great trust in middlemen, but if the middlemen feel that they just need to make arrangements for themselves, you just have to When the time comes, I need to pick out some clean and reliable ones and bring them to my house. Then I will tell my mother and let her consider the people under the successful man's control."

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave.

He was so frightened that Zhao Zhongren quickly bowed and begged for mercy: "My eldest lady, eldest lady, please let the villain live. This, this, this... the villain really doesn't know where he offended the eldest lady!"

Li Xinran glared: "Where do you offend me? People of the same kind flock together, and birds of a feather flock together. You have so many cheats and tricks here, how can we safely buy people from you? No, I still want to see what I saw today. Tell mother everything."

"Miss, Miss!" Zhao Zhongren hurriedly stopped him, "Miss, please don't tell Madam. If you help the villain hide this, the villain will definitely follow Miss's lead in the future."

Li Xinran raised his eyebrows: "What do I want from you?"

"The villain...the villain..." Zhao Zhongren rolled his eyes, "The villain has the most complete information, and can also contact the villain at the border and even Xirong. If the eldest lady is willing to let the villain go, the villain is willing to put these Information channels are handed over to each other.”

Li Xinran was a little surprised: "So generous?"

Zhao Zhongren said "Hi" and said with a wry smile: "Ms. Xu may think this is a very powerful channel and information source, but for those of us whose only contact with dignitaries is the human trafficking business, this kind of thing , it’s just a source of product information at most, and no one except us takes it seriously, so we just heard that the lady is from the border, so we decided to give it a try.”

Li Xinran smiled: "Okay, I will send someone to take over with you tomorrow. Don't worry, I won't steal your business. Also, you have to tell me where your master is. I have some things to ask him."

……

After coming out of Zhao Zhongren's house, Li Xinran said to Mu Yi: "Go and contact Mu Er and ask him to come back. You two keep an eye on Zhao Zhongren. I suspect that he is not telling the truth. Come and report immediately if you find anything."

"Yes."

"By the way, how's the training going with Uncle Zhong? Are there any results now?"

Li Xinran asked with a frown. It had been more than half a year. Too many things had happened in the past six months, which made Li Xinran obviously feel that she was unable to do what she wanted and lacked manpower. But the things she had to do now were more and more private. Borrowing people seemed like a big deal. It's unrealistic. The letters to my father and brother have fallen into disarray. I don't know what happened at the border.

But now, no matter how anxious she is, she can only be patient, wait for their reply with peace of mind, and try to maximize their value in the hands of limited people.

At this time, the border

Li Song, who had just finished a battle, held a sword in one hand and a cloth in the other, wiping the blood-covered sword.

Winter is approaching, and Xirong's attacks are becoming more intensive and fierce. In winter, the vegetation has withered, and the cattle and sheep have nothing to eat. They are also short of food, so at this time, the best way is to raid eastward.

Dachu in the city wall is a paradise among the people of Xirong. You can pick up gold by bending down. Separated by a wall, spring is warm and flowers are blooming. Food is plentiful. Both men and women are delicate and soft, and they are extremely beautiful.
