"I, I don't want to go. What can I, a 13-year-old girl, do? It's a long way. I won't cause any trouble if I go, and I need someone else to protect me." The little girl spoke of her incompetence quite confidently.

Prince Jin couldn't even answer the question. If you are incompetent, who else is capable?

In all his life, Dr. Sun had never seen anyone who lived so clearly, and she was still a 13-year-old girl. He looked at the little girl in front of him who spoke freely in front of Prince Jing, and then looked at the girl who was unloading The cold and gentle-looking Jin princes, one of whom has not yet had haircuts, and the other who is in his twenties, sigh in his heart, "What a pity, what a pity!"

"Doctor Sun, what's the pity?" Dr. Sun realized that he couldn't help but said it after hearing King Jin ask him, and hurriedly responded: "Nothing, nothing."

"There is still a business that we haven't discussed yet." Ning Jiayin thought of the loquat she had acquired.

"Girl, please speak!" Prince Jin and Dr. Sun said in unison.

"I asked someone to buy some loquats. Do you need them?" Ning Jiayin smiled.

"Ah!!" Dr. Sun couldn't say anything except "ah". The little girl thought of everything in front of her. If they went to buy the ointment now, they might not have to endure this year's ointment.

Ning Jiayin took ten silver notes totaling 100,000 taels and the loquat transfer fee of 500 taels and left happily. Doctor Sun also sent them out with a smile. Only King Jin could not show his face in the room. He stared at Miss Ning's back. After pondering for a long time, he said to the air with a solemn face: "Shadow cast the net down."

Nie Weidong, Geng Qiang, Wang Wu and Wu Lei at home were not idle either.

After a night of struggle last night, Wang Wu and Wu Lei selected comrades who were close to each other on the east and west lines according to the request of the fourth girl and wrote to them, asking them to contact the grain and grain store in advance and wait for them. Then pay for the shipment.

Starting early this morning, the four of them went to several places and found more than a dozen blacksmith shops, placed deposits and waited to receive the goods ten days later.

When Ning Jiayin came back, she learned that the four of them had settled the matter. She felt much relieved and went straight to the bookstore.

Now that he was busy, he had less time to take care of his younger brothers and sisters. Ning Jiayin thought that he still had to find a teacher. As soon as he became busy, he would delay his younger brother's studies.

Who would have thought that after giving her brother a lesson, Qingdai came to find her.

Seeing Qingdai's anxious look, Ning Jiayin walked out of the study room and asked, "Did something happen?"

"Girl, you go and have a look." Seeing the girl settle down the young master and go out, Qingdai followed and told the general story of the matter.

It turned out that one of the stewards around the second aunt, Mrs. Zhang, heard that people in the kitchen were paid well and business was good recently. She planned to hire more people, so she thought of arranging her daughter to join in, so she approached Liu Kun's family. Liu Kun's family said that she was only responsible for production. , the manpower matter was arranged by the girl. After a few times, she got angry and scolded the Liu Kun family, and...

"They also took me along with them, saying that I, a little concubine, really thought that she had earned two dollars, so she didn't know how rich the world was." Ning Jiayin took over the words

Qingdai fell silent for a moment. Her girl was really amazing, and Madam Zhang's words were almost the same as what the girl said.

"Okay, I want her to see what I am capable of as a concubine?" Ning Jiayin still walked leisurely.

When they came to the operation room in the front yard, the noise had not completely dissipated and the scene was a bit messy. Ning Jiayin saw Liu Kun's family wiping away tears while working, and the anger in her heart suddenly became even greater.

She walked up to Liu Kun's house and said, "Sister-in-law Liu, don't worry, I'll say it for you." Then she asked, "Where's Madam Zhang?"

Mrs. Yan replied: "This yin and yang man took a rest and left after a while."

Ning Jiayin raised her voice: "Our workshop is recruiting people, but we only recruit honest and capable people, and we will never recruit people who are troublemakers. When everyone goes back to spread the news, let's just say that her girl's experience was on the list of people to be added. After such a fuss, the girl decided not to use it.”

Let her take this regret medicine. Everyone understood the girl's intention and nodded in unison.

Ning Jiayin said to Qingdai, "Let's go, I'll go find the second aunt."

Qingdai asked worriedly: "Girl, will the Second Madam protect Madam Zhang?"

"You'll know if you go and see." In fact, it can be guessed that Mrs. Zhang's arrogance was partly given by her second aunt.

Ning Jiayin took Qingdai straight to her second aunt's yard. If someone showed up at this time, she should use this opportunity to establish her authority. Just a few days after the peaceful life, some people no longer want to live in peace.

"Second Aunt, is Second Aunt here?" Although Ning Jiayin asked, she did not stop. The maid at the door could not stop her, so she had to trot after her.

Bai Shi never expected that Ning Jiayin would chase her and come out of the house after hearing her voice: "Fourth girl is here. What's wrong? Who messed with you?"

"Mrs. Zhang next to you came to the workshop today and scolded the Liu Kun family to tears. I want to ask her why?" Ning Jiayin said it straightforwardly without any foreshadowing.

Bai's face turned red. Some of the dirty things about the aristocratic family were told behind closed doors, but she didn't cover it up. Isn't this just for her sake? Thinking of this, her tone became sharper: "Fourth girl, What's the purpose of being so menacing? It depends on the owner to beat a dog."

"Yes, Second Aunt, when you beat a dog, it depends on the owner. The one from Liu Kun's family is mine now? Is Madam Zhang not satisfied with me as the owner when she is looking for trouble?"

Bai Shi choked. She didn't expect Ning Jiayin to be waiting for her here.

"Second Aunt doesn't say anything, but I actually know that she thinks I'm a concubine. She is the respectable lady next to Second Aunt. Even if she arranges for someone to come in, I can't help but agree, right? Please tell her, Second Aunt, Go and make amends to Liu Kun's family before dark, otherwise no matter how big my workshop becomes, no one close to her will be able to enter."

Bai's face turned from red to white, "You, you... are so arrogant because of your ability, but after saying a few words about Liu Kun's family, don't make a fuss about it."

Ning Jiayin smiled: "Second Aunt, you must have given Sister-in-law Zhang her courage."

After Ning Jiayin said that, she turned around and left. Bai stayed where she was for a moment.

Sister-in-law Zhang timidly came out of the house and walked to her side. Seeing her, Mrs. Bai sighed heavily, shook off the handkerchief in her hand, turned around and went into the house.

Ning Jiayin's commotion spread to every courtyard like the wind with wings.

After the third lady Wu heard the reports from the people around her, she touched her belly and said to Mrs. Feng next to her: "The fourth lady deserves it for being so disrespectful to the second sister-in-law. The second sister-in-law looks so ugly. She has no ability to do anything, so she still looks down on her." People, if she hadn’t said something between words and words, would the people around her dare to mess with Liu Kun’s family?”

Mrs. Feng answered: "Look at the fourth girl sending these things, none of us have the ability to do anything." Although she can't speak behind her master's back, she can always praise the girl.

"Yes, the second sister-in-law couldn't see clearly and thought we were from before. Please tell the people in our yard not to neglect the fourth girl when they see her in the future."

The old lady also got the news and called Mrs. Bai over. Not only did she not comfort her, she also scolded her, saying that she didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were when she was not a family member. She acted like a monster when someone earned money and gave it to her to spend, saying that she was a small person. What's wrong with the concubine? If you have the ability, find a way to make money.

While squeezing the eldest lady's legs, Mrs. Wang said, "The fourth girl is a good-natured girl, but she doesn't want to show off her power and won't buy anyone's fault."

The eldest lady said: "The second child's gun hit her. She is worried about not being able to sharpen the knife."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang still looked confused, she continued: "We, the fourth girl, are not simple. In the past few days, some people think that life is getting better, and they forget how she got such good days, and some gossips When word spreads out, do you think Fourth Girl doesn’t know about it? This incident just makes her show off her power and let people know that she is not someone to be trifled with, no matter who it is, she will not give face to her."
