When Xu Wanning and Chen Wang returned to the carriage, she was still thinking about what had just happened.
Song Yesheng, that boy turned out to be Song Yesheng.
She actually met Song Yesheng when he was young and helped him?
You know, 20 years later in the previous life, the emperor of Vietnam who was extremely wealthy was Song Yesheng!
His business talent was astonishing and he was unstoppable. In just a dozen years, his Song family's territory had spread all over Dai Viet, and even reached the surrounding Da'an, Daliang, and Dazhou.
He was rich, but also had a pure heart to protect his family and country. Song Yesheng once donated half of his net worth to supply materials to the soldiers on the front line, build city towers, and improve weapons.
This is why he later became an imperial merchant.
In his previous life, people talked about Song Yesheng's great achievements, but few people mentioned his family affairs. Xu Wanning thought that Song Yesheng must be from a wealthy family, otherwise he could not afford to do business, so how could he be as rich as the country?
But now, he really slapped her hard.
When he was young, Song Yesheng was so poor that he couldn't even afford medicine for five copper coins.
"Miss, eat roasted chestnuts with sugar and peel them." Qing Xing's voice brought Xu Wanning back from her thoughts.
Xu Wanning came back to her senses and looked at the three pairs of smiling eyes looking at her in the carriage, as well as the round and peeled chestnuts that Qing Xing handed to her.
Xu Wanning picked up one and put it in her mouth. It was soft and sweet, "It's delicious."
"Haha, I think it tastes good too."
Xu Wanning looked at Chang'an, who was holding a bunch of candied haws and looking at her. His small eyes were full of smiles, and the two pear dimples on his lips made him even more adorable.
"Why don't you eat it?" The candied haws in his hand was still intact, not a single one was eaten.
Qing Xing spoke quickly and answered for Chang An: "He said he would wait until the young lady comes back before eating. This child..."
Chang'an held up the candied haws in his hand, "Young madam, the candied haws are very sweet. Would you like to eat one?"
Qing Xing only bought a bunch of candied haws, and gave it to Chang'an when she came back, but the child couldn't help but hold up a small cup of tea, and didn't eat any of it.
A five-year-old child can actually resist the temptation of delicious food.
Xu Wanning looked at the candied haws of sugar-coated haws stretched out to her mouth, her heart and eyes filled with happiness.
This child is thinking of her in his heart. Although he only treats her as his master at the moment, at least it can be seen that he is not self-sufficient and arrogant because of these people's preferences.
Xu Wanning ate one.
The sugar coating on the outside is sweet, and when you bite it, the sour taste of hawthorn fills your mouth. The sweet and sour intertwined, Xu Wanning actually felt the desire to eat candied haws when she was pregnant.
Actually, the candied haws on a stick is very delicious, it depends on who you eat it with!
Chang'an looked at Xu Wanning with his dark eyes. Xu Wanning touched his head and said with a smile: "It's delicious. Eat it quickly."
Chang'an got approval and bit off half of it.
He ate very carefully, only biting half of it, so as not to dirty the corners of his mouth, but also to savor the deliciousness of the candied haws.
Seeing him eating, Xu Wanning felt happy.
As soon as she lay down lazily on the cushion, Qingxing handed over the peeled chestnuts. Xu Wanning took one and put it in her mouth, "Have you bought everything?"
"I bought them all. Two big herrings, as big as this." Qing Xing gestured, "Hongmei and I couldn't lift them. The fish seller helped us carry them."
Xu Wanning smiled and said, "These days at Zhuangzi, you can play however you want, don't limit yourself."
Qingxing has wanted to play for a long time, she loves to play.
When Xu Wanning was in her boudoir, she often took red plums and green apricots out of the house to look at the shops. Moreover, Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu were both unruly people, so they could do whatever they felt comfortable with. They were guests, so they had to carry something with them. Don't let outsiders say that the Xu family doesn't understand the rules.
Who doesn’t understand the rules? Everyone knows them. They just have to carry them all the time. Are you tired?
After Xu Wanning married into the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, Hongmei Qingxing could no longer live the same life as before. There were rules for walking, sitting, and lying down. Even how to laugh and how to speak had a set of rules. Rules should not be forced. Death can really drive people crazy.
Hongmei originally had a calm temperament, and she adapted quickly, but Qingxing was playful in nature and had a habit of escaping her temper. After arriving at the Hou Mansion, to use her metaphor, she was in jail. But for the sake of the young lady, she can only keep learning, follow it carefully, and not make mistakes.
The days when Xu Mansion was comfortable and comfortable were gone forever.
This time when Zhuangzi comes back, Qing Xingke plans to have a good time and play to the fullest. Going back to that cramped Hou Mansion, only by relying on memories can I have the courage to continue living!
How did Xu Wanning know that Qing Xing had so many thoughts in her head.
Zhuangzi is only thirty kilometers away from Yancheng, and it is an official road. Lao Shuantou has been an experienced coachman for decades, and the carriage drives steadily and quickly.
In just an hour, Xu Wanning was already standing in front of Zhuangzi's door.
Zhuangzi's manager had already received the news in advance and was waiting at the door with a few people.
"Young Madam." The person in charge is called Chen Ming. He is in his forties and looks much older despite being exposed to the weather, but his eyes are still very shrewd.
Chen Ming was a distant relative of Cui Mansion. He was not a pariah, so he could not join the family. Cui Lu placed them in Zhuangzi and managed Zhuangzi for him.
Zhuangzi is also equivalent to a small mansion. Chen Ming is in charge, which is actually equivalent to the master. Which tenant in Zhuangzi does not listen to him?
In addition, it was a bit far away from the Marquis Mansion in Yancheng, so Cui Lu only came here three or four times a year. How could Cui Lu know that they were doing something to Zhuangzi? Even if he knew that Chen Ming was his distant relative, he could only turn a blind eye.
This man didn't commit any serious crimes, but he later became obsessed with gambling and lost the village behind Cui Lu's back.
Cui Lu was so angry that he immediately fell ill.
He also threatened to chop Chen Ming into pieces and feed it to dogs, while the men in his family would do hard labor and the women would accompany guests to pay off their debts.
Later, Mrs. Du and Cui Yunfeng came to her and kept talking in her ears all day long about how difficult it was for Cui Lu to fall ill. Xu Wanning was so soft-hearted that she even paid for Zhuangzi to be redeemed for him. coming.
Cui Lu recovered immediately and returned to Zhuangzi in high spirits.
Logically speaking, Chen Ming should be driven away, but Cui Lu didn't. He continued to keep Chen Ming to manage Zhuangzi for him.
In her previous life, Xu Wanning also said that Cui Lu was too kind and valued family ties too much, and Chen Ming was addicted to gambling, so she wasn't afraid that he would lose Zhuangzi again!
Sure enough, a year later, Chen Ming lost Zhuangzi again.
Cui Lu fell ill again.
Xu Wanning redeemed Zhuangzi again.
After that, Chen Ming's family disappeared.
Xu Wanning thought it was Cui Lu who drove them away. Later, Cui Yunfeng let it slip, and Xu Wanning found out that Cui Lu gave Chen Ming a large sum of money to leave Yancheng and settle down in another place, where they could live a life of adequate food and clothing.
Only then did Xu Wanning understand.
The first time Chen Ming made a real bet, he really lost, and the second time he made a fake bet and lost.
Everything was just a cunning plan by the Cui family to defraud her of her money.
She said, Cui Lu, a shrewd person who once threatened to chop Chen Ming into pieces and feed it to dogs, would suddenly leave him alone? He also allowed the same person to lie to him twice!
She is really stupid beyond measure. She buys it over and over again when others deliberately lose to Zhuangzi. She is a fool and has a lot of money. Who will kill her if she doesn't?
Xu Wanning curled her lips and smiled: "Manager Chen, long time no see!"
The people who could make the Chengyang Marquis Mansion suffer were all her friends, Xu Wanning.
Wouldn't Chen Ming lose this village?
Xu Wanning gave him this opportunity.
