Chapter 74: The Huo Family's Wishes
"Oh my third lady!"
Chen Qiaobutian was still three meters away, and her voice had already been heard.
"I haven't seen each other for more than a month, so the little girl missed her very much. This happened to be my father's trip to Huyin County. It happened to be the nectar in Huyin County, so I brought some back."
Chen Qiaodie was carrying an exquisite small jar in her hand, and she came to Zhongli Ruoshui and sat opposite Zhongli Ruoshui.
She put the jar on the table and said happily: "Huyin County's nectar is famous, so I thought to bring some to you for the third lady. The first batch of locust flower honey tastes very good."
Zhongli Ruoshui poured a cup of tea for Chen Qiaodie, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. He held the jar with great excitement, opened the lid and sniffed it carefully.
"Well, it's such a strong smell of locust flowers, then I won't be polite to you!"
"Miss Three said this and saw you. I don't have any good things in Zhongli's house? I'm still worried that Miss Three will look down on you!"
"You, this mouth is sweeter than honey."
"Hehe," Chen Qiaodie picked up the teacup, "By the way, I have been helping my family manage their business in Xicheng City recently, but I have heard some gossip. I shouldn't say it, but there are vague speculations about you about Miss Third, so I feel curious and want to come and verify it."
As soon as Zhongli Ruoshui's mouth curled up, the Shen Qiaodie went straight to the point?
"I haven't gone out for many days. What can those neighbors have guessed about me?"
"It's not that Li Chenan!"
Chen Qiaodie put down the teacup and leaned over, "Those people said that Li Chen'an would build a wine-making workshop by the Taohua Creek... Since he could make a painting Pingchun in the backyard of the tavern, it would be very common to build a workshop to make wine."
"But those people said that the fields by the Taohua Creek are all yours, Miss San, so those people have changed their taste when dealing with this."
Zhongli Ruoshui looked curious, and she leaned over and asked, "What did they say?"
"They said, "They said that the land was sold to Li Chenan at a low price by Miss Third, and there was another saying, "The land was given to Li Chenan by Miss Third!"
"In addition, the song "Butterfly Love Flower" that appeared in the essay meeting on March 3rd has been spread by those students. They all say that the essay was written by Li Chen'an, so Miss Third, your essay meeting did not determine the leader."
"So they guessed whether you, Miss Third, are really interested in Li Chenan... I argued with them about this!"
"Oh... why do you argue with those people in the market for such a small matter?"
Chen Qiaodie pouted, "That rumor would damage the reputation of Miss Third, how could I turn a blind eye to it!"
Zhongli Ruoshui laughed and asked in curiosity:
"Hey, I said...you shouldn't be interested in Li Chenan, right?"
Chen Qiaodie raised her neck, "What's the point!"
"Qiaodie, don't hide anything between us."
"Although I haven't gone out for a long time, I also heard that his tavern business has been very good."
"Also... I definitely won't hide it from you. He is indeed building a winemaking workshop on the banks of Taohua Creek."
"I sold that land to him. After all, he helped me on March 3rd. In addition, I saved me once in Erjinggou Alley."
"There is no reason why Zhongli's mansion owes others favors. I'll help him with this to pay off those favors."
"But that guy is poor, he has no money in his pocket, and I haven't received the money yet. He agreed that he will pay me another two years later."
"You have to think clearly. Once his winemaking workshop is built, it will require a lot of food. Your family is the largest grain merchant in Guangling. Isn't this a matter of mutual benefit?"
"Besides, everyone who has drunk his wine knows that it is better than Guanglingsan. If it is listed, it will definitely defeat Guanglingsan. The ranking of merchants in our Guangling City will be determined again!"..
When Chen Qiaodie heard this, she felt relieved.
Huo Chuanming's previous guess was not wrong, nor was his current guess.
The third lady in Zhongli's mansion did owe Li Chenan the favor, but the third lady has paid off the favor now.
She also encouraged herself to reconcile with Li Chenan... Then there would be no relationship between her and Li Chenan again.
As long as Li Chenan did not climb up to the big tree of Zhongli Mansion, the Huo family could take the opportunity to attack Li Chenan.
Zhongli's mansion will not get into evil with the Huo family for the sake of a small Li Chenan. After all, his future father-in-law Huo Baiyang is a close minister of the prince.
"I never could have been with him if I don't want to eat the good horse. I'll tell the third lady a secret."
"What's the secret?"
"What I really like is that it is Huo Shufan, the Huo family!"
Zhongli Ruoshui pretended to be shocked.
Her mouth slightly squinted, and after a while, she asked, "Huo Shufan, one of the three talents in Guangling City?"
Chen Qiaodie nodded slightly red, "Maybe Shufan will propose marriage to the Shen family when he comes back from Kyoto in a few days."
"Then congratulations, this is the real talented man and beautiful woman!"
Chen Qiaodie's eyes lit up, "Miss Three thinks so?"
"Of course, Huo Shufan will inevitably enter the officialdom in the future, and Li Chenan is just a small businessman. No matter how big his business of selling wine is, he is just a big businessman."
"No matter how big the business is, it is insignificant in front of officials. Qiaodie, you have made a very cost-effective deal. In the future, you will be a serious official wife!"
Chen Qiaodie did not hear the irony in Zhongli Ruoshui's words. She thought it was praising her eyes.
"This matter...it will be decided after the Huo family proposes marriage."
"Do you want me to help you?"
"This... isn't very good, I think there will be no surprises. Shufan and I are in love. Besides, the Shen family has been selling grain to the Huo family for a long time, so the relationship between the two families is quite good."
Zhongli Ruoshui nodded thoughtfully.
"Oh, by the way, if Li Chenan puts his paintings and screens on the market in large quantities, this will not be good news for the Huo family's Guanglingsan."
"That's why I want to ask Miss Third, your attitude."
Chen Qiaodie stroked the hair on her forehead, "If the third lady really wants Li Chenan... Then even if the Huo family doesn't sell Guangling San, they will have to give the third lady a face."
"It's just that I'll think about it. With your appearance, talent and family background, you will definitely not be able to get the useless Li Chenan."
The four words "nothing" made Zhongli Ruoshui a little unhappy.
But she didn't show it on her face.
Instead, it made her feel disgusted with the Huo family and the Shen family.
"The Huo family will definitely use thunder to attack Li Chenan. At that time, the Huo family will accept his winemaking workshop... I know that you are not short of money for Miss Third, but the Huo family's intention is to double the money for buying land, and give it to Miss Third, you 50% of the profit of painting Pingchun!"
Zhongli Ruoshui's eyes turned into crescent moon again, "There is such a good thing?"
"Well, then, Miss Third, just stand by and watch the show."
After an endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed.
