Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

As soon as she returned to the Chen Mansion, Aunt Wu rushed outside Magistrate Chen's study without stopping. She stood at the door for a while before she called out "Master" in aggrieved manner.

A voice came from the house: "What's the matter?"

"I just came back from my parents' home and I have something to report to the master."

The people inside were silent for a while, and then they said after a while: "Come in."

Aunt Wu opened the door and walked in. Magistrate Chen put down the pen in his hand and asked, "How is it?"

"Master, I am really unjust!" Aunt Wu knelt down and said with red eyes, "Brother is usually a little confused in his behavior, but even if you give him ten more courages, he won't dare to act. Your banner is for evil.

I asked clearly, my brother wanted to have a good discussion with the people of Jiuxi Village, but it was fine that the unscrupulous people did not sell their sons, but the lion opened his mouth and asked for two thousand taels. The brother was so angry that he said that he was with The concubine is related, and somehow it has been passed down that I have become my brother and your serious brother-in-law..."

Seeing County Magistrate Chen's face getting darker and darker, Aunt Wu wiped her tears and put it away, "As for who spread the word, my brother has managed his subordinates properly. Such a shameful thing will definitely make people keep silent. There are a lot of people in Jiuxi Village and there are many people who accidentally let things slip - please look into it and clear my brother's name!"

County Magistrate Chen sat back on his chair, narrowed his eyes, and looked intently at Aunt Wu who was kneeling on the ground, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a long while, he said: "You go down first and learn the rules from the mother next to my wife."

Aunt Wu paused for a moment, then said softly, "Yes, I'll take my leave."

After walking out of the door, Aunt Wu's palms were already wet with cold sweat. She recalled what she had just said, and there was nothing wrong with it. So why did the master continue to beat her?

Seeing the people retreating, County Magistrate Chen picked up the pen again and continued writing just now.

As the magistrate of a county, since he heard the news and found Aunt Wu, it meant that he already knew who had spread the news. Wu Sanjin acted more and more brazenly. This time he was just knocking, but Wu was so stupid. Her brother brushed it off so completely that he really thought he was a comatose official who was lustful and stupid!

"What is the relationship between the people in Jiuxi Village and King Yan?"

he asked the book boy standing next to him.

"Madam said that this group of people rescued the prince in Huai'an Mansion, and the prince came to Chongming Mansion with them. Along with them was a minister named Lian Sheng, who will take office next year."

Magistrate Chen's writing movements became slower and slower, and finally stopped, and the tip of his pen left a small ball of ink on the paper.

The feeling of fear became stronger and stronger in his heart. If his wife hadn't reminded him, if he had lost his head after listening to Aunt Wu's words, and found the group of people surnamed Jiang to settle the score, he might have lost the official hat on his head, let alone being promoted. Shake three shakes.

"Tell Madam that Aunt Wu will be grounded for three months! And Wu Sanjin's Wuyang Tower should be sent to 'take care of' more!" County Magistrate Chen's jaw tightened, "Didn't he say that he is a relative of my Chen family? Chang It’s called kissing when you come and go frequently!”

"Yes."

Jiang Erlang of Jiuxi Village got news about Jiang Wei that night. He couldn't go to the county every day, so he had to ask Jiang Wei to inquire with diners every day.

After asking about it for a few days, I thought that the matter would just go away, but unexpectedly, just when he was about to relax, another news came.

It's neither good nor bad, just a bit difficult to handle. He knew that County Magistrate Chen would not make a big deal out of the situation at this juncture, and was worried about settling the scores later in the year.

"Don't worry too much. It is said that our county magistrate has been in office for six years. Not to mention how much he loves the people like a son, he is praised by everyone in Beichuan County. With such a good reputation, he cannot be a person who cannot distinguish between right and wrong."

Jiang Dalang's mouth has hardly closed in the past few days. Without him, Zheng Liniang was forced to go to the county town by Mrs. Zheng Wang. When she felt her pulse, it was indeed a happy pulse. Because it was still young, she only said it to her family, but not to the outside world. Ming said it, and those who came closer could see it.

"There's nothing we can do right now, let's see."

Jiang Dalang counted the days and said, "Yaomei has been gone for nearly half a month and she didn't even send a letter back. I wonder if she is on her way back?"

Jiang Erlang picked up the wick, and the dim light trembled, "Brother, I'm always a little worried. In recent days, the news of King Duan's death has been spreading. The people of the world are unstable. There are rebellions in various places. Bandits are raging on the waterways. What if? ·······”

For some reason, there was always a hidden worry in his heart, and this worry became clearer the longer Jiang Huaixu left.

"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Dalang's face changed. "It's easy to get into trouble with the Fang family. You, you have been absent-minded recently. Go out more often. Don't stay bored at home studying all day. When the time comes, you will be bored." Sickness is coming.”

Jiang Erlang lowered his eyes and blew out the candles on the desk, "I understand, brother."

Jiang Huaixu, who was in Huaizhou City, waited for two days. The night before his departure, he not only waited for the news that the Fang family's ship would not carry her and Li Qiaoer, but also waited for the hurried way back to find her.

The two came to a teahouse not far from Wangyue Tower and talked while drinking tea.

"Ms. Jiang, I'm really sorry. There are some things at home that have been delayed. My mother-in-law and I have already discussed it. With my current talents and situation, I may have to wait more than ten or twenty years to pass the imperial examination. Right now I just want to make money and treat my mother.

No matter how this road goes in the future, it is my choice alone. You are a kindness to me, and I am only grateful and have no resentment in my heart. "

Jiang Huaixu looked at Lu Hui's patched clothes and the cracked wound on his hand, and said with a smile, "I have no other requirements for you. As long as you remember what I'm saying now, don't forget your original intention."

After saying that, she handed the things she had prepared to Lu Hui, "Inside are the business accounts we have discussed in Huaizhou City these days, and some money you may need. If you need help, come to Wangyue Tower to find Yan Yan." Shopkeeper, he will help you."

Lu Hui was stunned when he heard the last sentence, but before he could figure it out, Jiang Huaixu had already started to take out the account book in the small package and explained it in detail, so Lu Hui had to listen carefully.

"...We agreed to use the Fang family's ship to transport the goods, but now there is a problem. I will think of a solution when I return to Beichuan County. I will try my best to get the first batch of goods at the beginning of next month."

After remembering almost everything Jiang Huaixu told him, Lu Hui picked up the package on the table and found that it was heavy. When he opened it, he was shocked and said: "How could there be..."

Jiang Huaixu stood up and waved his hands nonchalantly, "Don't worry about it. You are the face of our Jiang's Five Spice Powder in Huaizhou City. You should at least dress nice and handle your family affairs well. Don't get divided over family matters. Heart. Let’s go, I’ll take you to make yourself familiar in front of Shopkeeper Yan, so you don’t need to trouble him in the future.”

The package in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms. Lu Hui knew that Jiang Huaixu was looking for an excuse to help him. He couldn't refuse this excuse. Because of this, he was extremely grateful.

He exhaled heavily and followed Jiang Huaixu's footsteps, "Miss Jiang, I wonder who this shopkeeper Yan is?"

"Shopkeeper Yan is the shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower. He is also our partner. You don't have to be polite to him. I have a close friendship with him. If you need anything, just ask him."

Lu Hui was a little surprised. He heard from Li Qiao'er that it was their first time to Huaizhou City. He didn't expect that Miss Jiang was so powerful. In just a few days, she got on the way to Wangyue Tower.

He couldn't help but become more interested in the allspice powder sold by his employer. Until now, he had never seen what he was selling.

In the teahouse after they left, a group of people were talking animatedly——

"Hey, do you know what major events have happened in our Huaizhou City recently?"
