Chapter 374 Qian’s experiences over the years

“Hiss!” Lan covered her mouth in shock, “So much! How can a businessman make so much money?”

Mrs. Mingsan nodded reservedly and said with a smile: "But Mrs. Ji can't just take it at face value. Doing business is risky, and the probability of encountering natural and man-made disasters on the road is also high."

As she spoke, she paused, looked at Jiang Ning, and bowed respectfully, "To say the least, I have to thank Lord Marquis. Since the popularization of white potato and fragrant taro, most people in Qi have been freed from hunger, their livelihoods are stable, and the world is at peace.

It is much safer to do business now than it was a few years ago. At least there are a lot less bandits. Our third house is originally engaged in business. In the past, every year when we went out to do business, some guards would die. Sometimes there were dozens of people, and sometimes there were more than a dozen. Last year, there were only two people. These two people did not get into trouble due to natural or man-made disasters, but died of illness.

If the guard dies, each family will have to give at least 20 to 30 taels of silver as a pension. From now on, they will have to send some condolences during the New Year and holidays. These costs will cost several thousand or even tens of thousands of taels a year. At this time, Mrs. Ji still feels that seven or eight thousand taels of silver are needed. Is it much? "

Lan Shi was speechless after hearing this, and her envy became much lighter.

Jiang Ning smiled at the side. She knew that what Mrs. Mingsan said was only part of the truth, and she had no intention of adding anything to it. Now she was looking forward to it, not knowing how much Yang Santie would gain from this trip back.

The three of them went to the flower hall and served tea.

Mrs. Ming San took a sip and continued: "Master Marquis, to be honest, I really like your drinking concubine, and I also want to do a long-term business with you, but at this price."

At first she purchased it directly from Yang Santie's caravan. When she arrived in Quzhou Prefecture, she inquired and found that the price Yang Santie sold her was no cheaper than selling it in pieces.

Jiang Ning said with a normal expression: "I understand what the third lady means. In business, we still act according to the rules. If the third lady feels that the previous price is too high, we can reduce it, but the third lady will have to send someone to pick up the goods. After all, this is It costs a lot to transport it all the way.”

After listening to a few words, Mrs. Lan lost interest and began to yawn, so she excused herself and left in advance.

Mrs. Mingsan laughed and shook her head, "Mrs. Ji is such a wonderful person. She likes to make money but also doesn't like to make money."

A pun.

Jiang Ning also laughed, and while Mrs. Lan was leaving, she quickly set a price with Mrs. Cui, and took the opportunity to ask: "Third Madam, I would like to ask, do you think of the disfigured old lady that Madam brought to Dongli Villa today?" still remember?"

She has already asked Ji Wuya. If the Qian family was not brought there by the Lan family, then it could only be the Cui family.

She had many doubts about the Qian family. She knew about the Qian family's disappearance from Zhao's maternal home, and was sure that the Zhao family did not dare to do anything to the Qian family. However, she did not expect that the Qian family would show up again with a disfigured face, and that she would be killed before she died. She was careful about Zhao Li, who was Zhao Yuanwai.

They have not met each other for a long time, so how can we start talking about this?

Ms. Cui's eyes widened suddenly and she nodded vigorously, "Have you seen her, Lord Marquis? When I left the villa today, I found that Mrs. Qian was missing. I asked the people below and they all said they hadn't seen her. I was wondering where she was. "

“Something happened and she died!” Jiang Ning thought for a while and then told Mrs. Cui the truth.

After being briefly shocked, Mrs. Cui's eyes were filled with sadness, and she said slowly: "I just told Mrs. Ji that businessmen are prone to accidents, which is not an exaggeration. Last year, I went to Yunze Mansion, and it happened to be the same time as Yunze Mansion. The officialdom was shaken, and this incident affected many local forces, so Yunze Mansion was in chaos during that time. As a woman in a place like that, it was very easy for me to be targeted. When I was in the inn, I was followed by a group of local snakes. When the team reached the bamboo forest, they took action. The guards escorted me to escape, but I got lost in the bamboo forest. Fortunately, I met Mrs. Qian.

At that time, she was digging bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. She saw me being chased by gangsters and helped me. As a result, she fell down the ravine and was scratched on the face by the sharp stalagmite point. Afterwards, I helped her seek medical advice, but some of the wounds were too serious. Deep, it is destined to leave scars.

I felt very guilty, but she didn't take it seriously. She looked like she had no hope for life. Later I learned that she was living alone in a dilapidated thatched hut, so I took her to my house and kept her by my side. She's a rough lady, but I didn't ask her to sign a deed of sale. She's not a slave.

Last month, I took people to Lefang to check the accounts. Mrs. Qian was also there at the time. She kept looking at the Third Young Master, and that’s when I noticed the Third Young Master’s caravan, and then tasted the Little Old Man and Yu Qiongjiang.

With these two wines, Lefang's business has improved a lot. I once joked that Mrs. Qian was the lucky star given to me by God. I never thought that good people would not live long! "

Cui said, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

The first time Jiang Ning heard someone say that Qian was a good person, it was still a little strange, but more of a disappointment.

Since she already knew about Qian's past, she didn't stay long, talked for a while, and waited for Lan to come over before bidding her farewell.

Early the next morning.

According to the requirements of Old Man Yang and Mrs. Li, Jiang Ning had someone prepare a carriage to send them back early.

Yang Laoer was procrastinating at this time and didn't want to leave at all.

Yang Laosan was getting a little impatient, "Second brother, what are you waiting for! If you don't leave, you will have to sleep in the wilderness tonight!"

Yang Laoer's face was a little ugly, his eyes rolled back and forth several times, and he didn't have the confidence to say: "I, I don't want to, I'd better stay!"

"What? What did you say?" Yang Laosan was surprised, "Second brother! Stop talking nonsense! Where are you staying? What are you doing here?"

Yang Laoer looked at the house behind him, his meaning was self-evident.

Zhou laughed angrily, "Second uncle, this is Erya's dowry now! She is now the girl of the first house. Your second house and the first house have long been divorced. In what capacity do you live in the first house? The dowry of the married girl In the yard? Don’t embarrass the child!”

Yang Laoer was a little embarrassed and said hurriedly: "I don't want to live here. I want to find wealth and live with my son."

Zhou refuted it directly, "Come on! Fugui now lives in the brick kiln in the east of the city, which is also Dafang's territory. He works for Dafang, and it is only natural that Dafang takes care of his food and housing. Whoever hires a worker will also help raise the worker. Damn it! Don't look for trouble!

There’s more! It’s not that I, the younger brother and sister, want to talk about you. Fugui is still a half-grown child, and it’s already remarkable that he can support himself. You are not a seventy-year-old who can’t walk and you have to have your children by your side. Don’t cause any more trouble for your children. ! Being rich is hard enough! "

Qian's death had a great impact on Zhou. Although she had always disliked Qian and even hated her, seeing Qian risking her life to save Daya yesterday made her view of Qian change a lot. On the other hand, Yang The second child, Yang Daya cared deeply for him, and even chose Fang Muxi, who was old enough to be her father, to marry him. As a result, she was in danger, and Yang Lao Er didn't even dare to let out a fart.
