142. Buy a boat from Wen Jia(1/2)
Brother Zhao got up late the next day.
When he woke up, Jiang Zhen had already gone out and Zhao Mingzhu was not there.
Although he knew that this was Jiang Zhen who wanted him to sleep for a while, Brother Zhao was still a little disappointed inexplicably.
However, his loss soon disappeared after seeing the notes on the bedside.
The note was written by Jiang Zhen. Jiang Zhen’s handwriting was not good, but the strokes were very clear: “Brother Jin, I’ll go to Qingfenglou to take a look, you’re waiting for me to come back at home.”
Qingfeng Tower is about to be built, so I really have to go and have a look... Brother Zhao put away the notes and immediately became energetic, and then his stomach screamed.
He had tossed with Jiang Zhen too late last night, so he was hungry when he went to bed, and now he is even more hungry.
"Why are you so old, you sleep in? Even Mingzhu gets up earlier than you." Zhao Liu said while bringing food to Brother Zhao Jin.
Brother Zhao Jin was a little embarrassed. At this moment, Zhao Fugui suddenly said, "Stop talking about him, the young couple, there are so many things to do at night."
Zhao Liushi really won’t say it anymore.
Brother Zhao Jin: "..." He was even more embarrassed.
Brother Zhao Jin had some food and took Zhao Mingzhu to the outer courtyard.
Jiang Zhen came back and he was much more relaxed. It would be better to teach his daughter more about walking.
Zhao Mingzhu was placed on the paved road with stone slabs. This time, Zhao Jinge stood not far in front of her: "Come on, Mingzhu, come here..."
Zhao Mingzhu quickly lay down and crawled towards Brother Zhao Jin.
Brother Zhao Jin: “…”
Finally, Brother Zhao Jin brought a few long benches to put them together, and Zhao Mingzhu walked slowly along the bench.
Something was grabbed, Zhao Mingzhu was willing to walk with two legs instead of four legs.
On the other hand, Wen Yingniang was sleeping late.
She slept until dawn before she woke up. After waking up, she looked at the top of the bed tent at a daze.
Why did her bed change? Also, why is it dawn today and no one calls her yet?
She was confused for a while before she suddenly remembered that she had left the Liao family.
He called someone to wash himself, and Wen Yingniang felt refreshed after washing her face.
"Miss Wen, what do you want to eat in the morning?" After Wen Yingniang got up, a pretty little maid from 17 or 18 years old came to ask.
Wen Yingniang originally wanted to say something she liked to eat, but suddenly she realized that this was not her family. And according to the meal that Zhao family had last night, it is very likely that the Zhao family did not have the exquisite things she wanted to eat.
"What's the kitchen? Just bring me some at will." Wen Yingniang said last.
Not long after, seven or eight little maids came to Wen Yingniang with a lot of food. They placed a few home-cooked side dishes and white porridge and fried dough sticks in front of Wen Yingniang. At the same time, they also brought food to the servants around Wen Yingniang.
A bucket of white porridge, dozens of steamed buns, and two pots of vegetables full of meat and vegetables. Although it is quite ordinary, it is definitely enough to eat. For Wen Yingniang, the food is really average.
In the past, these maids from the Liao family had several foods to choose from, and they were all very exquisite.
As for Wen Yingniang... when she got married, she even brought the chef from Minnan Mansion. When she didn't have any snacks to pick up in the morning?
"Miss, I will ask someone to clean up our house later. I will never let you be wronged in the future." A woman in her thirties next to Wen Yingniang felt sorry for her lady when she saw the ordinary food in front of Wen Yingniang. She was Wen Yingniang's dowry maid. She married Wen Yingniang's manager seven or eight years ago and became the manager's wife.
She usually doesn't come to Wen Yingniang to serve her, but now something happened to Wen Yingniang, she has been with her.
"There is nothing wrong, it's the same thing that people eat." Wen Yingniang said. The Zhao family ate very ordinary yesterday. In the end, everyone ate almost the same food, Jiang Zhen, Zhao Jin and the other two ate all the remaining dishes.
"This is true... the Zhao family used to farm in the countryside, so they were really not very particular." The servant nodded.
"Farmer? How do you say this?" Wen Yingniang was a little curious. Before, she only knew that the head of the Jin Zhen escort agency was Shuang'er who had dug up her pregnant mole, so she didn't know much about anything else.
"That's how it is..." After Wen Yingniang's side had already inquired about the Zhao family after she moved into the Zhao family, she told Wen Yingniang everything.
At first I heard that the Zhao family used to farm, but Wen Yingniang thought they were landlords, but she didn't expect that they actually wanted to farm...
It is not easy for ordinary people to strive for such a family business.
Wen Yingniang was thinking about this when she saw a few handsome maids coming to her to clean up the dishes and said, "If Miss Wen has something to do, just tell us."
There were still many people serving Wen Yingniang, so there was no need to ask them to help with their work anymore. She refused directly and then took the people out.
She had to sort out and sell the other things she brought from the Liao family yesterday except her own, otherwise it would be too annoying to keep them.
As soon as Wen Yingniang left her yard, she saw Brother Zhao Jin playing in the yard with her children, and two very young Shuang'er were around her.
"Miss Wen, morning!" Seeing Wen Yingniang, Brother Zhao Jin immediately greeted him.
"It's getting late now." Wen Yingniang said.
That's right, it's getting dark now... Brother Zhao Jin didn't know how to answer the conversation.
"You Jin Zhen's escort agency, will you accept the business to the southern Fujian Mansion?" Wen Yingniang suddenly asked again: "I have some things to send back to my parents' home." She didn't dare to go back for the time being, but she still wanted to find someone to go back and explain the matter clearly.
"I didn't accept it before, but if it was your business, I would accept it." Brother Zhao Jin said.
"Why?" Wen Yingniang frowned and couldn't help but think about it for a while. Could it be that Brother Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jin came out to save her yesterday and there was something else?
"Yesterday, Mr. Zheng told us that your parents' family can make boats, and we want to buy some big boats!" Brother Zhao Jin said it directly.
Wen Yingniang was originally thinking about what Brother Zhao Jin wanted to do, but she realized it after hearing this.
There are many craftsmen in the Wen family. They wanted to sell the boats after they made them, but there was no problem selling them to the Jinzhen Escort Agency. Wen Yingniang agreed without thinking: "No problem, I will write you a letter to my second brother, and he will definitely sell the boats to you."
"Thank you." Brother Zhao Jin thanked.
"No need." Wen Yingniang waved her hand and went out.
After watching Wen Yingniang leave, Zhao Jinge play with Zhao Mingzhu again, and handled some of the affairs of the Jin Zhen escort agency sent by He Chunsheng, and also looked at the account book sent by the brick kiln in Hexing Mansion.
The brick kiln in Hexing Mansion is now under the jurisdiction of Jiang Xiaomei and her husband Zhang Bai.
After the incident involving Jiang Zhen by Jiang Xiaomei, Jiang Xiaomei married Zhang Bai, and then followed Brother Zhao Jin to Fucheng and burned bricks to sell them in Fucheng.
Zhang Bai used to not even have a free life. Now Jiang Zhen asked him to redeem his contract for his body sale and married a wife. He worked very hard. Not only did he work hard to burn bricks himself, but he also brought out many apprentices. Not long after Zhao Jin Ge's brick kiln was opened, the output actually exceeded that of some brick kilns in the Fucheng that had been open for decades, which actually made a lot of money for Zhao Jin Ge.
The account book of the brick kiln is very simple. Brother Zhao Jin finished reading it quickly and then asked some questions from the person who came to report.
When he learned that he and Jiang Zhen brought back the people from Hongjiang Salt Farm were living well in the brick kiln, Brother Zhao Jin was relieved and specially instructed to make some meat and fish for those people to eat every day so that they could raise their bodies.
Those who come to report responded one by one.
After doing these things, it was already afternoon. Jiang Zhen had not come back yet... Brother Zhao Jin held Zhao Mingzhu to the gate. He was about to find someone to ask when he saw the corner door being opened.
Jiang Zhen is back? Brother Zhao Jin was happy and was about to meet him, but found that the person who came back was Wen Yingniang. Not only that, Wen Yingniang's face was also very ugly.
"Miss Wen, what's wrong?" Zhao Jin asked worriedly. Wen Yingniang's face was just ugly. The people around Wen Yingniang... He smelled the smell of rotten eggs from several maids. Is it because someone threw the rotten eggs?
"I met a group of madmen." Wen Yingniang said coldly.
After she went out, she went to the house she bought in Hexing Mansion. She didn't encounter anything at first, but in the afternoon, a group of scholars suddenly came.
Those people were "Hedong Lions" and "poisonous women". They scolded her hard, but even encouraged some people to throw rotten eggs at her.
If it weren't for the protection of her, she might have been stinking now.
Wen Yingniang was so angry that she shivered whenever she thought of the scene at that time.
Why are there so many people in this world who meddled with other people?
Those stinky men, like Liao Qing, live on women, and now they are afraid that their daughter will make a fuss, so they want to suppress her first? If they weren't the slutty guy who lives on women, why would they be so angry and upset Liao Qinghe like that?
Why don’t a group of crazy people with brain problems die?
Wen Yingniang scolded those people countless times in her heart, but even so, she still suffered a loss.
"Brother Zhao Jin, can you hire some street gangsters for me? I'm useful." Wen Yingniang sent her subordinates to wash up, then looked at Brother Zhao Jin.
When she left the Liao family before, although she took away a lot of things, she still thought about getting together and parting.
Therefore, she did not ask them to pay off the debts of the calligraphy and paintings collected by the Liao family for generations. When she married into the Liao family, she did not move the thirty acres of land outside the city that the Liao family had.
As a result, Liao Qinghe actually incited a group of people to scold her!
Wen Yingniang had sent someone to inquire about it, and the whole story of the matter was very clear.
It turned out that because of her fuss yesterday, the Liao family didn’t sleep all night yesterday. After getting up this morning, they found that... they didn’t even have breakfast!
Wen Yingniang took the cook away!
The Liao family finally found a servant who was good at cooking to cook the meal, but because of insufficient ingredients, they were very dissatisfied with it.
Moreover, they also found that... they really had no money on them. After eating this meal, they didn't know how to get the next meal.
This was the first time Liao Qinghe encountered this situation and was overwhelmed. Later, some of his friends came to see him and he complained.
Liao Qinghe is one of the four young masters in Jiangnan. Although he is not in high school, his poems are very popular in Jiangnan. Many young students admire him very much and have always sympathized with him. Such an outstanding person actually married a Hedong Lion born in a merchant, but he was still an unfamiliar one.
Liao Qinghe has already been very tolerant of this woman, but this woman is not grateful. When Liao Qinghe feels guilty of her, she emptied the Liao family...
Young students have always been the best to incite. In this way, they were angry and found some people to teach Wen Yingniang a lesson.
However, Wen Yingniang didn't plan to endure it... If you can teach me a lesson, I can naturally teach you a lesson!
When Jin Zhen's escort agency wanted to escort, naturally everyone from all walks of life knew some of them. Brother Zhao quickly found some people for Wen Yingniang.
Wen Yingniang gave them two taels of silver each, explained some things, said a few names, and then let them go. She said to Brother Zhao Jin: "I will live in the Zhao family in the next day. I will trouble you to take care of you. Don't worry, I will give the silver." When she got married, the silver was 200,000 taels, but it also included the shop shop. Over the years, the family still gave her some from time to time. Now what she lacked the most was silver.
