novelWidow Shen
| ← Ch.088 | Ch.090 → |
"A dead man, come over here right now. You're not afraid of being seen."
"Didn't I miss you?"
The man kept pestering Widow Shen, looking left and right to make sure that no one saw him, then picked up the Widow Shen and headed inside the house.
"Didn't your wife go to the county today?"
"Don't mention her, she's black and fat and her face is like a millstone. If it wasn't for my mother pressing on me with her death, I would have definitely looked down on that idiot."
"Then you should let her go, I'll be your successor."
"Heh heh." The man stopped talking. Hugh wasn't that simple. There were still children at home.
If someone was standing at the window, they would realize that the one who had come out to steal the person was none other than Ning Huan'er's father, the man who was from Second Uncle, Ning Zhaohui.
To be honest, with Young Mrs. Lee's looks, who did not pay attention to anything, it was not wrong to blame Ning Zhaohui for cheating.
After a love affair, when Ning Zhaohui left the Shen family, he coincidentally met Widow Shen's daughter, Shen Ning'er, carrying a black cat, walking towards home.
Noticing Shen Ning'er's gaze, Ning Zhaohui laughed awkwardly and quickly ran back home.
Speaking of Shen Ning'er, other than the few girls with Ning Family, she was the only one in the entire village who could find him.
If Wu Mei was like a little white flower in a mountain, then Shen Ning'er was the village's Thousand Sunsets. If she did not wear black all day, then it would be a little more beautiful.
"..."
"..."
Regarding the matters of the village, Ning Yan had never been too concerned about it.
Zhao Liang bought a little rabbit from the market first, and Ning Yan even went to take a look. The little rabbit was white, and looked cute and adorable, unlike those other wild rabbits in the mountains.
Even Ning Yan had the urge to bring them home to play.
The next day, Ning Yan brought Chen Huo and rushed to the county city for a barbeque. The more they barbequed, the lower the profit.
This era's cooking methods were very complete.
If the seasoning was lost, the large barrel of gold would be gone.
Just as the carriage entered the city, Ning Yan lifted the carriage's curtain and saw Qian Hu's little servant running towards the city gate.
Qian Hu?
Ning Yan's heart skipped a beat, she finally remembered that she had forgotten something.
Qian Hu would usually collude with officials who sold salt, so did Deputy Governor Bai already know that the boss of north of the city's food shop was a salt merchant?
Chen Huo stopped the car.
Ning Yan stopped the servant and asked: "Did something happen at the shop?"
"Manager, it's you! Elder Brother Hu Zi was taken away by the soldiers and our store was sealed off as well."
"..." So fast.
"Go to the inn and look for Zhong Yang." Ning Yan jumped onto the carriage as he calculated how he could get Qian Hu out of the carriage.
Selling salt had always been a great crime. Right now, the magistrate didn't have a verdict, so there was probably room for negotiation.
It's just that I'm afraid that we won't be able to contact the Bai Clan in the future. It's a pity, Second Madam.
Putting down the curtain, Ning Yan closed her eyes.
Yesterday, Zhong Yang's words seemed to reveal that there was a yoga problem that could be found by him.
He would go find someone to help him. Once he did something like this, he was afraid that he would be taken care of by the tweezers in the future.
There was still a long way to go before they could save Qian Hu.
The horse carriage stopped in front of the inn and told the innkeeper that it was looking for a person, causing Ning Yan to be invited to the second floor.
He sat in the private room for a while, about fifteen minutes.
Manager Zhong walked in with a man dressed like a scholar.
"Lady Ning's considerations are as..." Before Zhong Yang could finish his words, he saw Chen Huo standing behind him.
His entire body stiffened.
It was probably because the gaze that fell on Chen Huo was too excessive ... Sharp.
Ning Yan explained: "This is my family's guard, it looks a little too roguish, but its heart is still quite good. Shopkeeper Zhong, you don't have to be afraid."
"..." Are you sure you don't have to be afraid?
This Chen Xiao General was said to be a vanguard officer under the General Lu.
Why did you come here to be a guard for a widow?
When Zhong Yang came out of the capital, Chen Huo had not sent any messages yet, so naturally he did not know that his family had called him over to discuss business with Chen Huo at Tongxian County.
Right now, the people from the Zhong Family were probably thinking of a way to find Zhong Yang to send the message, but ... Zhong Yang came to Tongxian County and felt that his status was somewhat higher.
Hence, he started to play with things that involved hiding one's identity, causing the people from the capital's Zhong Family to not be able to find this person.
That was why she did not feel awkward when she saw Ning Yan. On the other hand, it was because of Chen Huo that she was slightly frightened. No matter how powerful his Zhong Family was, even if someone from his clan were to enter the imperial court, they would still be a merchant in essence.
Compared to the general, he was just a small shrimp.
Therefore, Ning Yan found that the business negotiations were extremely harmonious.
Even the profits in her hands increased quite a bit. After making the contract, Ning Yan would split it between Zhong Family and 40%, Ning Yan would split it 40%.
After all, choosing the location to decorate the shop, using people, and so on, were all the efforts made by the Zhong Family.
"Lady Ning, we have already established the contract. What about the barbeque recipe and methods?"
"Shopkeeper Zhong can bring people to my shop to learn from Tang Yi, but Tang Yi is still a woman after all. If Shopkeeper Zhong can fish out Qian Hu, then he can bring him away.
"The Lady Ning was quite good at scheming. Fortunately, the magistrate court did not punish that brat for that, otherwise, even if my Zhong Family was extremely rich, I wouldn't dare to get a salt merchant out of jail."
This meant that he could walk.
Ning Yan's face finally revealed a smile: Then I'll be troubling you, Shopkeeper Zhong.
Zhong Yang's face turned black, could it be that this woman did not understand what he meant? This kind of bargaining could only be heard by a single person.
Qian Hu was fine, Ning Yan was relieved that shshedid not have to face the Mrs. Qian anymore. She suddenly felt enlightened, he had already handed over the barbeque business and she still had a lot of money in her hands, hence Ning Yan walked out of the tavern happily.
He didn't realize that Zhong Yang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Chen Huo saw it, but the feeling of watching others suffer was rather interesting.
Chen Huo naturally would not remind Ning Yan otherwise.
In the end, Zhong Family was just a merchant, the Lady Ning gave birth to a child for a general. Even if he could not become a big wife, relying on his own abilities, it was impossible to lose a wife.
Being able to deign to meet Zhong Yang was already giving him face.
After leaving the tavern, Chen Huo first sent Ning Yan to the barbeque shop, while he and Ah Ya both cleaned up the place.
There were also a few customers sitting around.
The farce from the day before yesterday was nothing more than a farce to the customers.
After filling his stomach with three to five kebabs, how could he still have the mood to talk about the length of other people's homes?
He walked to the back of the kitchen and comforted Tang Yi a bit. Then, he asked Tang Yi with a bitter smile, "Did something happen?"
"It's fine, owner, don't worry, Ah Wang and I will take care of it."
"..." Ning Yan nodded, she wanted to continue asking, but when she saw that Tang Yi was not willing to speak, she kept her mouth shut.
