After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

The four little beans all breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Xiao Miaomiao patted her chest to calm down and said, "I was scared to death. Fortunately, my mother and Mr. Li didn't quarrel!"

The two adults looked at the smiling faces of the children.

Suddenly I felt that the quarrel was very boring.

Li Yuanzhi and Jiang Xiaohua looked at each other, unable to hold back, and laughed.

The innkeeper knocked on the door and brought dinner.

The whole family sits around and eats.

Because we almost kept eating at the market in the afternoon, everyone was not very hungry.

So I only had a few refreshing side dishes, and the staple food was hot wheat kernel and millet porridge.

After eating for a while, Liu Yong remembered and asked, "What life experience did Mom and Mr. Li just talk about?"

"You also said he was noble. I was confused and I really didn't understand."

The dinner table was silent again.

Liu Guang and Liu Ming quickly pulled Liu Yong from under the table.

Liu Guang glanced nervously at the faces of the two adults.

He whispered, "This matter has just passed, brother, why do you bring it up again!"

Liu Yong said truthfully, "I just want to say that if Mr. Li is in any trouble or has no choice but to do it."

"From now on, we will stand by Mr. Li no matter whether we can help or not."

Jiang Xiaohua was a little surprised. She originally thought that Liu Yong was an honest and short-sighted kid.

Now it seems that he has the most delicate mind.

From just two words of life experience, we can deduce that Li Yuanzhi must have something unspeakable.

Li Yuanzhi was also moved. He sighed happily and nodded, "Thank you very much for trusting me."

Liu Yong solemnly said again, "In my eyes, Mr. Li will always be Mr. Li."

Liu Guang was confused when he heard this, "If Mr. Li is not Mr. Li, who else could he be?"

Liu Yong raised his hand and slapped his brother on the back, "You're right, let's eat quickly."

Shortly after nightfall, the store clerk knocked on the door again, saying that a visitor had arrived.

Li Yuanzhi went to open the door, but it was not Jiang Yuanheng himself who came.

But an old man with gray hair.

The old man wore clean indigo cloth and tied his hair with a cloth of the same color on his head.

Although there were growths around the corners of his eyes, those eyes were scorching when they looked at others.

At first glance, he is a shrewd and neat servant.

When the old man saw Li Yuanzhi, he seemed to be stunned for a moment.

But it was just a blink of an eye. He immediately smiled and handed over his hand, "Hello, Mr. Li."

"I am an old servant of the Jiang family. My surname is Gui, the name of Guihua."

"My young master is grateful to Mr. Li and Madam Jiang for their help. I am very grateful."

"The old slave has gone to redeem the mortgaged pearls and verified that they are genuine."

"I just need to ask Madam Jiang to see it in person to see if it is the original."

After he finished speaking, he presented a black double necklace pouch inlaid with eight-color cloud patterns in his hands.

Jiang Xiaohua heard the sound and came over.

She and Uncle Gui greeted each other and reached out to take the brocade bag.

There was that pearl in the brocade bag, rolling in the palm of my hand, emitting a soft pearlescent light.

Jiang Xiaohua just glanced at it casually and said, "It is indeed my original one."

"Excuse me, Uncle Gui, for bringing it here in person at such a late hour."

"Why don't you come in and have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up before going back?"

Uncle Gui saw Jiang Xiaohua being so polite to him, and he thought highly of Jiang Xiaohua.

Although this woman was dressed in simple cloth, she behaved well and had a grand attitude.

She didn't look down on him just because she heard he was a servant.

It can be seen that he is also a very knowledgeable person.

Uncle Gui smiled and said, "Madam is kind enough to give you tea, but I shouldn't have refused."

"But my young master is impatient. He is still waiting for my reply."

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaohua stopped trying to stay.

I just ask Li Yuanzhi to send Gui Bo out.

After the guests left, the children came over curiously one by one.

Liu Ming asked, "Is this the servant of a wealthy family?"

Jiang Xiaohua hummed and said, "But this old uncle should not be an ordinary servant."

Liu Guang originally said, "Well, that Uncle Jiang is indeed a playboy."

Jiang Xiaohua laughed, "That's not a good word."

She seemed to have thought of something, "Besides, not all people from rich families are playboys."

"We can't be prejudiced against others."

Li Yuanzhi chatted with Uncle Gui for a few words when he went out.

After he came back, he told Jiang Xiaohua everything he knew.

In fact, Jiang Xiaohua got it right.

Uncle Gui is a respectable old servant in the Jiang family.

He is a son of the Jiang family and grew up in the Jiang family in Jinzhou.

Because he accompanied his master to school when he was a child, he also learned to read and calculate.

When he grew up, he worked in the accounting room of the mansion and won the trust of his old master's wife.

This time, his young master Jiang Yuanheng came to Beijing to take the exam.

Originally there was a servant driving the carriage and a little book boy following him.

But Madam was really worried, so she asked Uncle Gui, who was still in good health, to follow her.

This arrangement is not only to take care of Jiang Yuanheng's daily life, but more importantly, in the capital, the shrewd Uncle Gui can help Jiang Yuanheng manage his relationships.

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and said, "This Mr. Jiang is really a treasure from a wealthy family."

Li Yuanzhi said, "Originally I didn't want to have anything to do with him."

"Now I think this might be good."

Jiang Xiaohua raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why?"

Li Yuanzhi said, "In the past two generations, the Jiang family has embarked on the path of a scholarly family."

"There are also people who have become officials."

"So many outsiders don't know that the foundation of the Jiang family's ancestors was accumulated through business."

Jiang Xiaohua was a little surprised, "The Jiang family was once a businessman?"

This dynasty also divides various occupations into three, six or nine levels.

No matter how rich a businessman is, he is still among the lower classes and is far less noble and respected than a scholar.

Li Yuanzhi nodded and continued, "So the Jiang family still has several commercial firms and bank accounts in the capital."

"If our family wants to do business, it never hurts to make friends with Jiang Yuanheng in advance."

Jiang Xiaohua nodded seriously, "I understand."

After a while, she rolled her eyes and smiled slyly at Li Yuanzhi.

"When you first met him, you seemed to be avoiding him."

"Now that I've changed my mind, I'm actually afraid that if my business fails, you won't be able to get a raise in the future, right?"

Li Yuanzhi turned to look at Jiang Xiaohua, his eyes had an inexplicable meaning and seemed to contain a deep sense of helplessness.

"You're right, I'm just doing it for you..."

Jiang Xiaohua was stunned. At first glance, these words did not sound much different from what she meant.

But looking back, what was wrong?

The most important thing is that her heart started beating disobediently again!

However, Li Yuanzhi raised his thin lips slightly at this moment and uttered the last three words: "The salary."

Then he stood up calmly and drifted away under Jiang Xiaohua's blank gaze.

"Children, it's time for evening classes."

"Have you memorized the part of the book I taught you yesterday?"

Mr. Li seemed to be in a good mood tonight, and even his tone was lighter than usual.

Jiang Xiaohua sat there and gradually lost her consciousness.

Yes, what he wants to say is "I am just for your wages."

Jiang Xiaohua, Jiang Xiaohua, your heart beats like a teapot!
