Jiang family.
It was rare for Jiang Sheng to stay in Yunqi Pavilion. Maybe it was because the environment was too unfamiliar, or maybe she was thinking about yesterday and she didn't sleep until midnight.
The chatty little maid is not here, and another, more unfamiliar maid is on duty outside.
This is also the rule of a wealthy family - when the master is asleep, the maids must wait outside, bringing tea and water at any time to respond to needs.
When the master wakes up, he still has to dress, wash, and groom himself.
Jiang Sheng spit out the tea into the cup uncomfortably, and let the little maid cleanse his face and comb it into a simple and neat bun.
When choosing gold jewelry, she stopped urgently and replaced it with the seasonal pink flowers burning outside.
It's not that gold is bad. On the contrary, Jiang Sheng likes gold very much. It's just that the memory of the hard work is too deep. Even if life gradually gets better, she can't get rid of the habit of hiding good things.
Such a shining treasure is hanging on your head, what if it is robbed?
Jiang Sheng put on a cute pink dress and jumped into Deren Academy.
Mrs. Jiang woke up early, and she and Tan Yue were taking stock of the meals for lunch, including fried shrimp with lychees, fried lychees, and even lychee fruit tea.
Jiang Sheng was stunned, "Didn't you finish all the lychees yesterday? Why do you still want to eat lychees?"
It must be what happened yesterday that angered Mrs. Jiang.
She approached cleverly, half comforting and half coaxing, "Grandma, don't be angry. Mrs. Jiang doesn't like me. Being able to separate the lychees is considered fair. It doesn't matter whether they are bigger or smaller."
"If I get something good, I will definitely give the best and biggest to my grandmother, and then I will give away the second best."
There is nothing wrong with people's preferences, it's just that Jiang Sheng didn't get that preference.
But she has a grandmother.
Grandma's wonderful treasure, but not a single bit of it was given to Jiang Chenghuan.
Jiang Sheng was really satisfied.
Mrs. Jiang's anger is based on her expectation that Jiang Liao will treat everyone equally and that Jiang Liao can make up for Jiang Sheng.
If you calm down and observe objectively and impartially, it seems that Jiang Liao was not wrong.
Who wouldn’t give the best to the person they love the most?
From Jiang Chenghuan's perspective, Jiang Liao is undoubtedly a good mother.
Life is like this, if you lower your expectations and calm down, there will be no hard hurdles.
Mrs. Jiang suddenly lowered her head and looked at the calm and calm Jiang Sheng. She found that she was confused when she cared, and she was not as transparent as the eleven-year-old girl.
Don't long for something like love. What you should have will always be there, and what you don't have can't be asked for.
"You're such a ghost." Mrs. Jiang laughed, "Okay, then we won't argue with her."
Jiang Sheng nodded seriously, "Don't eat so much lychee vegetables at noon. It's easy to get angry and uncomfortable, and the price is expensive."
The last sentence is the key point.
Mrs. Jiang couldn't help laughing, "No, I still have to eat."
Why?
because……
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the Jiang family.
The concierge carefully opened a crack and stuck his head out. He was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Litchi in Fengjing are very valuable in the capital, and the Jiang family only got three trays. Why did someone put them in basins? They just delivered them in such a big way, and there were more than one basin.
The people passing by were all stared at and almost bumped into the wall.
The concierge even asked tremblingly, "May I ask, what do you want me to do, sir?"
Zheng Ruqian, who was wearing a plain silk robe, put away his folding fan and called in a high voice, "Greetings to Mrs. Jiang, hello to Miss Jiang. Jiuzhenfang is here to give you lychees. The most delicious Lingnan lychees, wrapped fresh and sweet."
As expected of a businessman, he never forgets to shout.
The porter remembered Tan Yue's instructions and hurriedly opened the door and respectfully led the way, "Master Zheng, go here."
Zheng Ruqian was not polite, opened the folding fan again, and followed in a swaggering manner.
Jiang, Jiang, Jiang, and Wang Xiaosong each held a basin full of lychees, walking like they didn't recognize each other.
As we passed the main road, the maids and women on both sides couldn't help but be surprised. Seeing the big red lychees, they were filled with envy and their mouths watered.
Zheng Ruqian was quick-witted, so he grabbed two handfuls of lychees and spread them out wantonly, "Sisters and sisters, just try them. Try the fresh lychees from Jiuzhenfang."
Some refused, while others boldly accepted.
Arriving at the entrance of Deren Hall, the lychees in the three-pointed basin were only slightly flat.
Zheng Ruqian straightened his clothes and smoothed his hair from his temples. Finally he cleared his throat and walked to the main hall under the guidance of Tan Yue. He saluted calmly, "Ruqian has met the old lady and met... Miss Jiang."
"Second brother." Jiang Sheng jumped down from the stool with surprise on his face, "Are you crazy? Where did you grab the lychees?"
Three big pots are full, how long will the sentence be?
Her worry was so obvious that her breathing almost stopped.
Zheng Ruqian suppressed his laughter and pinched his little round face, "You idiot, Lingnan is rich in lychees. I brought these back personally, not by robbing them."
It was only after tasting the deliciousness of lychees in Lingnan that he decided to return to Beijing quickly and brought back two carts full of the first crop of fruits.
There is a price difference that can be earned and a business that can be expanded, but most importantly, he wants his brothers and sisters to be able to enjoy it.
Delicious food is meant to be shared with family.
"So, the lychees arrived yesterday, but you didn't give them to me?" Jiang Sheng put his hands on his hips and accurately found the key.
Zheng Ruqian coughed twice, "It's not that I won't feed you, but it's a bit troublesome to disassemble and it will take some time to sort it out."
This kind of perishable fruit takes ten days even if you work hard, and it is impossible to preserve it without some means.
You have to eat it quickly after sorting it out, as it will change in flavor overnight and is not suitable for eating.
No wonder Mrs. Jiang planned so many lychee dishes...
Jiang Sheng was stunned and speechless for a long time.
There were three large pots of lychees. They had to work hard to finish them all. They must have gotten angry.
"If you can't finish it, give it away, and give it to the maid and the boy." Zheng Ruqian guessed what she was thinking, "Don't feel sorry for the second brother, lychees are not valuable at all in Lingnan."
The most expensive thing is transportation, manpower and material resources, time, and long distance.
"But..." Jiang Sheng wanted to say something else.
Zheng Ruqian put away the folding fan and saluted again, "I have to thank the old lady for giving this boy this opportunity. Three pots of lychees is not a sign of respect. As long as the old lady likes it, Jiuzhenfang will take care of it from now on."
This thing actually kills three birds with one stone.
On the surface, Mrs. Jiang took it out on Jiang Sheng and slapped Jiang Liao on the face.
Look carefully, Zheng Ruqian sent lychees to the Jiang family. When word spread, it was equivalent to broadening the market for lychees for him.
The last level is more secretive.
As we all know, Fengjing lychees have been transported by the Liao family in recent years. The aristocratic families are too lazy to send people to Lingnan. Ordinary families cannot afford to go to Lingnan. The lychees almost give the Liao family a monopoly, and the price gradually rises.
Mrs. Jiang wants to clean up the Liao family, and the first step is to cut off their financial resources.
It just so happened that Zheng Ruqian was specialized in doing this. Rather than benefiting others, it would be better for him to fall on him. This would also be Jiang Sheng's guarantee in the future.
Looking at the smart and simple young man, Mrs. Jiang said meaningfully, "If you do it well, selling the lychees to ordinary families will be nothing. Only if they are sold to the palace in the future will they last forever."
This supports him in competing for business with the Liao family.
Zheng Ruqian was surprised and happy, bowed and saluted, "According to the old lady's good advice, I will work hard."
