The Liao family's backer is the Jiang family. As long as they are in-laws, someone will always take care of the Jiang family's reputation.
Unless...the Jiang family turns around and supports the Liao family's opponents.
For example, Jiuzhenfang also sells lychees.
"Jiang Sheng has not recognized her ancestors since she returned to the Jiang family. Part of the reason is General Jiang's absence, and part of the reason is that Mrs. Jiang wants to protect her." Chang Yan tapped his right hand on the back of his left hand, "Mrs. Jiang They only announced that the original daughter was a fake, but never revealed the real daughter to the world."
This means that in the eyes of outsiders, Jiuzhenfang has no relationship with the Jiang family.
Zheng Ruqian sent lychees to the Jiang family once, but only brought some orders from acquaintances, such as the Yao family and the Zhao family, or some orders with bad intentions, such as the Fang family and the Zhu family, but it did not completely open up the Fengjing family's market.
If Zheng Ruqian could send lychees to the Jiang family for the second time, or the third or fourth time, the Fengjing family would mistakenly believe that the Jiang family's position shifted from the Liao family to Jiuzhenfang.
This is taking advantage of the situation, just like their relationship with Magistrate Pang of Yunshui County.
But the ultimate goal is not to pretend to be powerful, but to crowd out all the backers of the Liao family and leave the Liao family isolated and helpless.
"The Jiang family has no relationship with Jiuzhenfang, but they are closely involved with Jiang Sheng." Xu Mo continued, "As long as Jiang Sheng is brought to visit, the Jiang family will definitely not turn away Jiuzhenfang."
But this way, the sister they tried so hard to protect behind them would have to come into contact with the Jiang family again.
She might even be the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family again.
"No." Zheng Ruqian, who was smiling just now, frowned, "I can bring lychees to visit the Jiang family and impress them with business and profits, but I can't let Jiang Sheng pass."
But the Jiang family has always been Jiang Sheng's blood relative. Is it really a good thing to completely isolate her?
Chang Yan and Xu Mo were both silent.
Only Zheng Ruqian was particularly excited, "My sister is mine, she is ours, and cannot be returned to the Jiang family. They lost the child back then, and now they have grown up and want to take it back. What are you dreaming about? Where was the Jiang family during the most painful and difficult time?" ?Since I didn’t take care of it when I was a child, why should I have it when I grow up?”
These words were not only for Jiang Sheng, but also for himself.
There are six brothers and sisters in Xiaoyuan. Only two of them are obviously related by blood, but they still have to struggle hard to survive.
Whether Xu Mo, Fang Heng, or Wen Zhiyun, although they lost their parents, they will always remember the inheritance of faith. They are children who grew up in love.
Only Zheng Ruqian and Jiang Sheng recalled the past with the smell of gall.
"We have passed the most difficult period. The Jiang family has finally returned their sister, and we must never send her back again." Zheng Ruqian said one word at a time, "You can give up the Liao family's business, and you can give up the Lychee business. My only sister, I can’t give in to you anymore.”
You can also step over Zheng Laoer's body first!
"Second brother, don't get excited." Wen Zhiyun whispered from the side, "I didn't say let my sister out, I just went back and took a look."
Zheng Ruqian grinned sadly, "We can't go back. What if the Jiang family regrets it? We can't defeat the Jiang family."
It turns out that I was afraid of this.
Chang Yan and Xu Mo couldn't laugh or cry, but they were deeply moved.
Where Jiang Sheng is really depends on the Jiang family, because of the family's dignity, because of its absolute power and skill, because of its unbalanced status, and because they have no right to speak.
It is true that there are many worries in a high position, but a high position can also avoid many troubles.
Everyone who is ambitious to climb up must have someone he wants to protect.
Just like Xu silently took the imperial examination.
Or if Zheng Ruqian is doing business.
"Since the second brother doesn't want to, let's find another way." Chang Yan said slowly, "Maybe if you work harder, you can fight a business war with the Liao family for a few years."
Zheng Ruqian sniffed and was about to get up and look for a handkerchief.
Jiang Sheng, who was looking down in thought, suddenly said, "I'll go."
At this time, Xiaoyuan's eyes fell back again.
Zheng Ruqian was so shocked that he didn't inhale the snot in his nose, but instead slid down his middle, "Xiao Jiang Sheng, what are you talking about? Are you going back to the Jiang family? Are you crazy? You don't want us anymore?"
"Sister, you don't want us anymore?" Wen Zhiyun's tears began to flash.
These two tear bags.
Jiang Sheng grinned and explained softly, "No, I miss my grandmother. I want to go back and see her."
In the past twenty days, they have been busy in the workshop, busy in Jiuzhenfang, busy moving things, busy preparing new varieties of pastries, so busy that they have no time to rest.
Jiang Sheng also discovered that she missed her grandmother, Tan Yue, the old man's kind and gentle hands, and the quiet and peaceful Deren Hall.
Eleven years.
Jiang Sheng had too few relatives. Apart from her brother and aunt, only sister Yao and her grandmother were kind to her. Even though she did not return to the Jiang family voluntarily at first, the warmth of three or five days was enough to warm her heart.
She couldn't bear to let go of someone who was so kind to her.
That was the warmth that young Jiang Sheng yearned for most during countless cold nights. He had prayed to Buddha for many years but failed to receive the care.
"Although I don't have a father or a mother, it's good to have a grandmother." She blinked her big bright eyes, "What's more, the Jiang family's master's craftsmanship is so good, and the food he makes is so delicious."
Without the whirlwind rice bucket, half of the chef’s passion for cooking has been lost.
Just like a few days after Jiang Sheng left Erjin Xiaoyuan, Aunt Zhang didn't buy a big elbow. The uncle at the pork stall thought there was an accident and repeatedly advised her to express condolences.
"Pfft." Wen Zhiyun, who was the best at coaxing, burst into tears and burst out laughing.
Zheng Ruqian's complexion also improved a little. He used his narrow sleeves as a veil and rubbed it on his face randomly.
Jiang Sheng took the opportunity to conclude, "Tomorrow I will go back to Jiang's house to visit my grandmother, and my second brother will go deliver lychees. It's the best of both worlds."
Xu Mo nodded lightly and said nothing.
However, Chang Yan had a word of advice, "You'd better not enter Jiang's house at the same time. Wait for Jiang Sheng to obtain Mrs. Jiang's consent before letting the second brother come to visit."
Jiang Sheng returned to the Jiang family because of family ties. Mrs. Jiang could not be misunderstood for profit and lose the family ties that were not much in the first place.
It should be said that people with a lot of ideas are comprehensive, and some things are not considered first.
The advantage is that you are thoughtful, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to overthink.
Although Jiang Sheng felt it was unnecessary, he still nodded and agreed.
It happened that Zhang Xianglian had developed some new cakes with lychee flavor. She ordered five boxes in advance, walked around the market three times in person, and bought many gifts.
Mrs. Jiang has some, Tan Yue has some, and even the chatty little maid has some.
The next day, the lychees were sorted into basins, ten kilograms were reserved for the Jiang family, and the rest were sent to major aristocratic families in batches.
Jiang Sheng also picked up the gifts he had prepared and arrived at Jiang's house with Jiang San and Jiang Si.
