The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 972 - 948: Wu Xiumin

Li Tieniu came to find Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Mr. Jiang, thank you for today's matter."

Mr. Jiang saved the lives of the entire village, which was an even greater favor than last time.

Moreover, this time he saved the lives of their family, and the disaster this time was caused by him and his sister.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and helped Li Tieniu up.

"Don't say things like that, anyone who encounters such a situation has to step in. Besides, living in this village for so long, I've come to see this village as my place of residence, essentially my home. If someone bullies my family, I naturally need to find a way to protect them."

These words made Li Tieniu's eyes turn red; Mr. Jiang was treating this place as his home.

Which means he considers them his own, a truly heartfelt speech.

Although Lin Dawang and the others did not know what happened in the Li Family Village, they heard about it later.

The villagers only envy the people of the Li Family Village for their good luck; even when encountering bandits, there was a government officer to help. This officer happened to be in the Li Family Village, repelled the bandits, and helped defend against the bandit attack.

But Lin Dawang was a bit skeptical after hearing this.

With the fortress of the Li Family Village being so solid, could the bandits really break through?

And could a government official actually die?

It's easy to imagine there's something fishy going on here, but whatever it is, it has nothing to do with him.

Now he has decided, after this incident, to hold tightly onto this powerful ally, Mr. Jiang, who could make the Li Family Village so strong.

The Lin Family Village can naturally do the same.

This time upon returning, he had no personal motives and delivered all the salt to the Li Family Village.

Mr. Jiang arranged to continue producing the snowflake salt, and after their strong men recovered, they all were sent to the Li Family Village, where the two families have already started training together on the threshing ground.

This training has already become a skill they can rely on for survival. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Jiang Xiaoxiao led a team of 50 people, escorting the snowflake salt on their journey.

Departing along with her were Lin Dawang and Li Tieniu, these two village leaders who were experienced, and they managed the travel permits.

Jiang Xiaoxiao has now registered under her name in the Li Family Village, naturally recorded as a male.

Li Tieniu knows Miss Jiang doesn't want others to know her female identity.

Throughout the journey, Li Tiehua stayed by Jiang Xiaoxiao's side as a young maid, preventing any accidents.

This time they were transporting four thousand pounds of snowflake salt to Jiangnan, first by land and then by water, all the way to Jiangnan.

It's said that Jiangnan is fertile and beautiful, practically a paradise on earth, with merchants gathering.

Even the common people's life is more prosperous than those living near the border.

The official declaration was that they were transporting grain.

Grain is also heavy, so it would seem comparable.

But before they set out, people from the Wu family came looking.

This time, the people sent by the Wu family's carriage included not only their chief steward but also the family head of the Wu family.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was frustrated, wondering if going out could really be this difficult?

Initially, she wanted to see the outside world and incidentally inquire about some matters, but who would have thought she couldn't escape this web?

What could Lu Xiaoxiao say?

When the family head of the Wu family personally visits, how could she, a boy from a remote area, possibly be disrespectful and refuse to meet?

Once the head of the Wu family came in, Jiang Xiaoxiao was taken aback, for before her was clearly a young woman, certainly older than her, seemingly only twenty-eight or nine years old.

Theoretically, in ancient society, a male-dominated society, women rarely appeared in public doing business.

Of course, women's status was not recognized by men.

For example, in her current situation, if she weren't disguised as a man, Lin Dawang would be the first to not be able to hold his position.

Li Tieniu, naturally, was won over by Mr. Jiang's life-saving grace, somewhat conquered by ability; but the reality is women's and men's status in this era are not the same, and a female is leading the Wu family.

It's clear how extraordinary this is.

"Mr. Jiang, I've long heard of your renowned name, yet I didn't expect to meet you only today. I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to be such a graceful youth, truly admirable."

Wu family's head is named Wu Xiumin.

To attain the position of the family head, she naturally went through bloody battles.

She is dressed as a young woman, likely remaining in the Wu family as the daughter of the first recruited husband of the Wu family, and Wu Xiumin is the only bloodline of the direct branch of the Wu family.

The Wu family direct branch had no male heirs, and within her generation, only she remained as the daughter.

To preserve the Wu family's bloodline, and prevent envy from the branches towards the direct line, Wu Xiumin boldly decided to recruit husbands to stay in the Wu family.

Thus creating the current situation of the Wu family.

Of course, Wu Xiumin is not simple, to reach her current status she naturally has keen insight.

At a glance, she already noticed the youth before her is likely not a boy, but of female nature.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled, since the other is female, it made their conversation easier as they sat down.

"Meeting Sister Wu today feels quite congenial. Given this, may I ask if Sister Wu is visiting for any particular guidance?"

From the meaningful look in the other's eyes, Jiang Xiaoxiao already understood, she had already seen through her identity, but revealing or acknowledging it is a shared understanding.

"For Mr. Jiang to call me sister, I am truly flattered. This time I've heard Mr. Jiang plans to lead a trade expedition to Jiangnan?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao instantly understood, she had already started organizing personnel, allocating some shrewd and observant youngsters from each village to scatter in Yanmen Pass.

Even if doing small business or other matters, as long as they stayed in the city.

Jiang Xiaoxiao specifically spent silver to buy several small houses, making it convenient for them to stay in the city.

She even bought two shops to facilitate the transmission of information.

Their sole role in the county was to gather news, not requiring profit, Jiang Xiaoxiao would even pay them silver, all to establish her intelligence network.

She already gathered that the Wu family's head is quite capable.

The Wu family is thriving, being the foremost royal merchants at Yanmen Pass, their business spanning north and south, with intricate connections among court officials.

It's said there is a certain cabinet elder backing the Wu family, and just for reasons of this elder, others dare not trouble the Wu family.

This is also the pivot enabling the Wu family's business to thrive.

It's said Wu family's heir, now just 13 years old, is already a top scholar in the court.

That Wu Xiumin sought her out, a young village noble, only naturally for the snowflake salt she possessed.
