Leave the food behind

The class hierarchy in this world is very clear. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, she is just a merchant at the bottom. Although Huafang Building is also a merchant, but he has a relationship with the imperial court, so she, a small commoner, cannot offend him.

Jiang Yan pursed her lips and frowned. The Lin family's business had just developed. If Huafanglou really deliberately made trouble because of her refusal to stand, the Lin family would definitely be unable to resist, no matter when it happened.

, the official power is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Seeing Jiang Yan's expression changed, Shen Xingyuan smiled, thinking that the other party was tempted, and immediately asked: "What do you think? As long as you follow me, I, Huafang House, will participate in all the business of your Lin family and help you sell it."

to the whole country, and one day, maybe it can even be sold to our vassal countries."

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Yan asked in a low voice: "If I don't agree, what will the Fifth Master do to our Lin family?"

Shen Xingyuan was stunned, his pupils dilated several times in an instant. He couldn't even believe that such a country widow would actually want to refuse his invitation!

Jiang Yan said in a gentle voice: "The background of Huafang Tower is very strong. Since ancient times, the poor have not fought with the rich, and the rich have not fought with the officials. According to what the Fifth Master said, Huafang Tower must be following either the prince or someone who can compete with the prince for high positions."

Prince, we are just ordinary people, we don’t understand royal affairs, and we don’t dare to participate!”

"If the Fifth Master wants to use the power of the imperial court to threaten the peasant woman to join Huafang House, the peasant woman will not dare not to obey. But if the Fifth Master only invites him out of love for talents, then the peasant woman will thank the Fifth Master for his favor, but the peasant woman still has a young son at home.

Xiao Sun is not as ambitious as the Fifth Master, so I can only thank the Fifth Master for his love."

Jiang Yan's words were not only to the point, but also shocking. Shen Xingyuan didn't even dare to say clearly that he stood for the prince, but she, a peasant woman, actually said it directly, and even in this situation where she knew where she stood, she still

He clearly rejected himself!

If he really used his power to force her to agree, it would be his own fault.

Shen Xingyuan glanced at her, put away her violence, and showed more appreciation in her eyes. Although Aunt Jiang was just a peasant woman, her words were even more forceful than her own. If she hadn't been from the imperial court,

, I'm afraid Aunt Jiang's face didn't even change and she refused from the beginning.

There was a solemn atmosphere in the space. Tao Bai on the side looked at these two powerful figures, and all the blood drained from his face. Although he did not know these two people, he had been a slave in a wealthy family since he was a child. These two people

The aura on his body, the oppression in his words, and the background involving the imperial court were all warning them.

Not only was Tao Bai sweating, but even Fang Ju was so panicked that he didn't dare to breathe. Others didn't know the identity of the fifth master, but he knew it well. The dignified prince was rejected by a peasant woman, and he couldn't guarantee that this Shen Xing

Could Yuan Hui be really angry and order someone to confiscate this little Lin family home?

Shen Xingyuan and Jiang Yan looked at each other. They didn't speak for a long time, and the atmosphere was extremely depressed for a while.

Suddenly, Shen Xingyuan's eyes turned, and he changed his humble and gentlemanly attitude. He closed his folding fan, crossed his legs on the simple and short wooden chair, and instantly exuded an undisguised sense of carelessness and laziness all over his body.

There was a hint of displeasure in his tone, "Forget it, forget it, I can't force you not to do it if you don't want to."

Jiang Yan squinted her eyes and raised her head, a bit sad: "Then...if I don't join, will those orders still count?"

After all, this is the biggest order after Chang'an Restaurant. I won't encounter such a big order again before the New Year this year. Although Jiang Yan doesn't want to join anyone, she is reluctant to part with such a big deal.

Shen Xingyuan suddenly smiled, and the emotion in his expression was a little more real. He said in a teasing tone: "As I say, business is business. This boss invites you to join because he thinks highly of you. It doesn't matter if you don't come. We are still business partners."

Jiang Yan also smiled more sincerely now. It seemed that this fifth master was really not a playboy. Although his temper was a little strange, he was generally a good person.

Shen Xingyuan continued: "Aunt Jiang, don't talk nonsense about today's matter outside. You and I only need to know."

Jiang Yan nodded, knowing that he was talking about matters in the imperial city. It would be treason for ordinary people to talk about royal matters, not to mention that Jiang Yan had already mentioned the position of the princes.

The original person was just an ordinary peasant woman and knew very little about official matters, but Jiang Yan was different. She was able to analyze a lot from the original person's superficial understanding of the dynasty.

For example, the emperor is old, the officials are in disarray, and the princes are constantly fighting among themselves. Today's Great China Dynasty is only peaceful on the surface. There is already corruption and chaos in the government and the public. The old emperor is incompetent and officials everywhere are greedy and ruthless. There is not much at all.

People care about how the people are doing.

The barbarians on the border have been invading several times but they cannot be suppressed. The snow disaster in the east cannot be controlled. The drought here cannot be pacified. There are still floods in many places. Refugees are everywhere. If the court does not change, it will only be a matter of time for the people to revolt.

And these, the fifth master of the young master of Huafang House, who lives under the protection of the imperial court, obviously does not really understand it yet.

"How much wine do you have at home?" Shen Xingyuan stopped teasing Jiang Yan and asked about wine. He loved this thing so much that if he could, he would take a few jars with him today.

"Two hundred jars, one jar is ten kilograms. As long as it is stored properly, the longer the wine is kept, the more mellow the taste will be. The price I paid to Chang'an Restaurant is one catty and five taels of silver, but I can't give it to Master Wu at this price for what I keep for myself.

Already."

Shen Xingyuan raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and chuckled, "Why, Aunt Jiang is preparing to open her mouth like a lion?"

"Of course I don't dare. The peasant woman is just telling the truth."

"Oh, how much does Aunt Jiang plan to give me Huafanglou per pound?"

Jiang Yan pursed her lips, pretending to think deeply for a few seconds, then moved her lips slightly and said without hesitation: "7 taels of silver per catty."

She also increased the price by two taels. If the other party hadn't threatened her with his identity just now, Jiang Yan wouldn't have increased the price temporarily. She is stingy and will definitely find a way to get it back if she is angry at something.

"Okay, I'll pay you the price you said, Lao Fang!"

Shen Xingyuan didn't hesitate and agreed directly. He didn't feel that Aunt Jiang was trying to treat him as a traitor, but he was surprised that the price was so cheap. You know, a pound of wine in the Imperial City costs more than ten taels.

Got it!

Jiang Yan was a little surprised by Shen Xingyuan's boldness, and wondered in her heart whether her price was too low.

"The money I brought today is not enough. I will make up for it tomorrow. Can I take away two jars today?" He had other things to do when he came to Fang County this time. Now that he has found out about the late rice, he must return to the imperial city as soon as possible to make arrangements, otherwise

When the magistrate of Linfang County reported to the imperial city, they would have lost the opportunity.
