MTL - Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate-Chapter 79
Jiang Yunzhu was a little depressed, why, he still wants to buy and sell by force, but can't he? She put the hairpin on the table, bowed her head and said nothing.
The hairpin finally returned to Shen Fengming's hand.
It's a little late today, and this kind of thing happened again, Jiang Yunzhu decided to stay at home for another night and go to the county seat tomorrow morning.
The night is smoky, and suddenly there is a melodious sound of the piano piercing the silence, like the wind in the pine, or like flowing down the cliff, the sound is touching.
Everyone in the Jiang family heard it. They all stopped what they were doing and listened quietly to the sound of the piano.
Naturally, Jiang Yunzhu also heard the sound of the piano. She doesn't know how to play the piano and paint, but she knows how to appreciate it. The sound of the zither is really wonderful, but this piece is called "Guan Ju", "Guan Guan Jujiu, in the continent of the river..."
Jiang Yunzhu was upset, but he was quickly attracted by the sound of the piano and immersed himself in the sound of the piano.
Suddenly the music stopped, and the Jiang family was silent.
"This is the sound of Mr. Shen playing the piano." For some reason, Mrs. Chen felt soft after hearing the sound of the piano.
"En." Jiang Cheng hugged her, and the two snuggled together.
"It's really nice." Chen said softly.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yunzhu took Jiang Cheng's carriage back to the mountain dwelling.
Shen Fengming rode a horse and followed him, Jiang Yunzhu looked him up and down, there seemed to be nothing unusual, so he let him go.
"Boss." We haven't seen each other for two days, Xue Jing and the others miss Jiang Yunzhu very much, and when they see her back, they warmly greet her.
Jiang Yunzhu looked at them and then at her own store, feeling very happy.
The tea was not cold and opened for business, and Jiang Yunzhu stood behind the counter to check the accounts for the past two days.
At this moment, Qin Zhen hurried in from the outside.
"Miss Jiang, I have something to tell you." He said.
He has also experienced strong winds and waves, and he has always been stable, but today he is so flustered... Jiang Yunzhu suddenly felt bad, and asked, "What's going on?"
Qin Zhen looked around.
Jiang Yunzhu motioned for him to follow her to the backyard.
There is a room for entertaining guests in the backyard, but ordinary people cannot come in.
Qin Zhen entered the house, didn't even sit down, and said, "The grain I shipped to Wuling County and Huayang County the day before yesterday were all inspected!"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yunzhu didn't even bother to sit down.
It turned out that another batch of grain was transported from Luzhou to Wuling County and Huayang County the day before yesterday, but as soon as they arrived at the gate of Luzhou City, a group of soldiers came over and said that they suspected that the batch of grain contained illegal salt and wanted to take it away for inspection.
It was Qin Butler who escorted this batch of grain. He expressed and hinted that the grain was from Changyuan Grain Company. The leader didn't take in the oil and salt, and asked people to transport all the food back to the Salt Transport Department.
This batch of grain weighed tens of thousands of catties, so it was a big deal. Steward Qin found Qin Zhen overnight.
Qin Zhen felt extremely wronged. There was no illegal salt in his food. The Department of Salt Transportation, a department that is out of reach, Qin Zhen immediately went to He Zhizhou and told him about the incident, hoping that he could help him get the food back.
Who would have thought that He Zhizhou would look embarrassed, saying that salt and iron were a major matter for the court, and Mr. Ma of the Department of Salt Transport was stern and selfless. He could only do his best, but he did not guarantee the result.
Qin Zhen waited anxiously, finally waiting for He Zhizhou to come back, but saw He Zhizhou shaking his head.
"Let's talk about it after Mr. Ma's inspection. Didn't you say that there is no illegal salt in your food, then it should be fine." He Zhizhou said.
Qin Zhen had no choice but to go back.
However, Wuling County and Huayang County cannot cut off the grain, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted. Fortunately, they still have a lot of grain in their warehouses. This time, after discussing with the Tao family, he decided to try to transport 2,500 catties of grain abroad first.
This time, no one came to check the batch of food. The food arrived in Wuling County and Huayang County safely, but Qin Zhen couldn't let go of his concern. Just passing by Qishanju, he came in to discuss with Jiang Yunzhu to see what she thought of this matter.
Jiang Yunzhu frowned upon hearing this. This matter is not simple. The Department of Salt Transportation is a somewhat special department that belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs. He Zhizhou does not have the right to directly govern it. But the officialdom has always been a network of favors, she does not believe that He Zhizhou has nothing to do with the Salt Transport Department.
Was Qin Zhen not agreeing to the marriage proposal proposed by He Zhizhou, and He Zhizhou deliberately embarrassed him?
It shouldn't be so. Even if the Qin family is rich, they are just merchants. If it weren't for the recent severe disaster in Changfeng Mansion, food shortage, and the improvement of the status of the Qin family, He Zhizhou might not have to choose the Qin family to marry.
What's more, Qin Zhen is also experienced in handling things, so he will definitely handle this matter satisfactorily.
So who is it? What is his purpose?
There was still too little information, and Jiang Yunzhu couldn't figure it out.
At this time, a person walked out from the cold tea and walked westward slowly. If anyone pays attention to him, they will find that the tea he had with Qin Zhen just now was not cold.
After bypassing two streets, the man suddenly quickened his pace and headed towards the largest inn in the west of the city.
After entering the inn, he went upstairs and knocked softly on the door.
"Come in." A clear male voice.
The man entered the door, closed the door behind his back, then knelt down and said, "My subordinates will see you, Eldest Young Master."
"Get up." Lin Ting'an asked casually, "How is it?"
The man stood up and told what he had seen and gained.
Lin Ting'an listened, taking a sip of tea from time to time, and there was nothing unusual on his face.
After the man finished speaking, he waved his hand and let him back out.
"The boss whose tea is not cold?" He raised his eyebrows.
"It's a newly opened teahouse in Wuling County. The owner is a girl. She has excellent cooking skills and even won over Chef Gao in our mansion. She won this teahouse." Behind him, a guard-like person reported. .
"Winning Gao Shun? That's really good workmanship." Lin Tingan said. The voice is flat, and there is no emotion.
The guard behind him shuddered, that Gao Shun was so bold that he even went out to compete with others in cooking without telling the mansion. Moreover, he also lost...
Suddenly, Lin Ting'an stood up and walked downstairs.
After walking two roads, a carriage suddenly hit this side, Lin Ting'an stopped, and the guard behind him held the knife at his waist and became vigilant.
At this time, the carriage turned a corner and slowly slowed down, it seemed that it was just a false alarm.
It's just that when it turned a corner, it caught a woman, and the woman threw herself directly on Lin Ting'an.
For a moment, his arms were filled with warmth and fragrance, but Lin Ting'an frowned.
The woman seemed to be frightened, and her whole body was weak and weak.
"Lin Qing." Lin Tingan said.
The guard behind him, that is, Lin Qing supported the woman with the handle of the knife, letting her leave Lin Ting'an's body without falling to the ground.
The woman was wearing a bright red dress, and her waist was tight. She raised her eyes to see Lin Ting'an, and said as if surprised, "My lord, why are you here?" Immediately, she was about to salute Lin Ting'an.
Lin Ting'an's face darkened slightly, and he looked the woman up and down again, feeling that she seemed familiar.
"The maidservant Jiang Yunxiu is the servant girl of the mansion's kitchen. This time I was visiting relatives, I happened to pass by here. Thank you, Eldest Young Master, for saving me just now." Jiang Yunxiu said eloquently. As she said that, she also blessed her with a gift, her twisted waist was like a spring willow in March.
To be honest, Jiang Yunxiu is very pretty, but her desire to climb into bed is also obvious.
Lin Ting'an is the eldest son of the Marquis of Anping. He is proficient in all aspects of literature and martial arts. He is half of the ruler of the Marquis of Anping. There are too many women like her in the mansion.
Lin Ting'an ignored her at all and continued on.
"Young Master." Jiang Yunxiu called softly, with some grievances and anxiety. If it was a man with a soft heart, he might be stopped by her call.
"Go back and tell the butler, he knows what to do." Lin Ting'an only said.
"Yes." Lin Qing agreed.
Jiang Yunzhu also heard this sentence, and her face was as white as paper. Isn't she pretty enough? Lang's heart is as strong as iron! No, she must not be kicked out of the house, she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand.
Soon, Lin Tingan came to the tea is not cold.
He stopped and looked at the three large characters on the plaque for half an hour.
Lin Qing also saw those three characters. He didn't know much about calligraphy, but he also felt that those three characters were well written. Just looking at them, he felt like mountains and seas. He really didn't know who wrote them.
When the tea was not cold, Jiang Yunzhu had already sent Qin Zhen away. At this time, she was standing behind the counter in a daze, still thinking about what Qin Zhen just said.
"Did something happen?" Shen Fengming came in from the back, habitually standing behind the counter with Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Yunzhu regained consciousness and shook his head.
Shen Fengming didn't ask any more questions, just stood there.
Jiang Yunzhu looked at him, picked up the account book again, and checked the accounts of the previous two days. Then she missed Xie Zhen a little bit, and he did this before.
"Do you want me to look at it for you?" Shen Fengming asked.
Jiang Yunzhu paused, no, he shouldn't be so nice to her, she was afraid that she would really be tempted. And Commander Shen, isn't it rumored that he is not close to women?
Suddenly, Jiang Yunzhu remembered that night when he stood in the cold wind. He said he never thought of getting married before, he said his father and mother had been arguing all the time, and he was tired of that quarrel...
At this moment, a warm feeling came from the fingertips, Jiang Yunzhu looked down, Shen Fengming was about to take the ledger in her hand, when his fingers touched her fingertips.
Jiang Yunzhu quickly withdrew her hand, and decided that it was better to make things clear.
"Master Shen, I have no intention of marrying a rich family, I just want to be an idle person." Jiang Yunzhu said. She thought she had said enough.
"Yes." Shen Fengming agreed, and looked through the ledger.
Jiang Yunzhu was dumbfounded, did he understand what she was talking about?
"I, I just want to find someone who has the same goals as me to marry." Jiang Yunzhu decided to make it clear that they were not suitable. She wants to spend her days idle, he is the commander of Qilinwei, she doesn't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the Shen family is a family of poetry and calligraphy in Xia Dynasty.
Shen Fengming raised his head.
At this moment, Lin Ting'an brought Lin Qing in from the outside.
He saw Jiang Yunzhu at a glance, and his expression was slightly startled.
Jiang Yunzhu also saw him, and stood there in shock. She really didn't expect to see him here.
The two looked at each other.
Shen Fengming happened to see this scene, his eyes were dark.
