When Hu Xiaomeng returned home, she told Shi Tou about the play she watched in the palace. She laughed at Shi Tou, wrapped her head and kissed her cheek, "Stone Evolution! Don't say it, that's the case!"

"I don't understand. Does the general have to marry a princess? Huh, or is it that the people of the country actually hope that you will marry Tang Ning'er, and I will marry Qiao Zi'an...ah-why are you biting me?"

Hu Xiaomeng rubbed her shoulders. It seems that the frustration of yesterday has passed. Today, everyone knows that they are biting people!

"It seems that I can't satisfy you. You still have the energy to think of Qiao Zi'an's fox. But are you sure that Qiao Zi'an has you in his heart?"

"Ah, what do you mean?" Hu Xiaomeng pushed him, "You are just me in love!"

"How could it be? I mean Qiao Zi'an, that stupid boy. Actually, he had already relieved Tang Ning'er. He just didn't know it! He said that I can marry you in my life, but how could I ask me to give you the incense burned by my ancestors? It's my wife who doesn't dislike me, she's going to give me the price, hehe..."

"Hmph! You know what you know!" Hu Xiaomeng gave him a blank look, but his beautiful nose was almost popping up by the stone, and then sat down.

As a result, before her butt was hot, Chen Song walked in and said that it was Princess Rui who asked for a meeting.

Hu Xiaomeng looked at Shi Tou, "How much do you know about this Princess Rui?"

Shi Tou said, "This Princess Rui is the richest woman in the Ming Dynasty! You know, Princess Rui's family is in business, and Princess Rui's mind is very flexible. She can see business opportunities everywhere and earn money everywhere. In addition, with the grace of the emperor, the ancestral property of Prince Rui's mansion cannot be finished even for three generations! But it's strange that Prince Rui's sons just took a free job and got a title, but none of them have become officials in the court for eight years. However, the emperor likes it very much!"

Hu Xiaomeng thought to himself, if Prince Rui had not seen through everything, Prince Rui would have been too smart!

After all, when the uprising was rebelled, Tang Zhongming, it was not the one who destroyed Daxia alone. It is said that Prince Rui had paid a lot of money back then!

No matter how you say it, if Prince Rui’s sons enter the court, it is no problem to be promoted, but it is not impossible to hold real power!

Hu Xiaomeng went to the front hall, Princess Rui was sitting and drinking tea. When Hu Xiaomeng met her, Princess Rui smiled and said, "I just got in the palace and knew that the Empress Dowager would not let anyone go so early, so I left first. It would be better to go back to the house and have dinner..."

Hu Xiaomeng smiled, "I think Princess Rui is interested in the canned industry..."

"Hahaha...yes, Laosin thinks that the industry on the county lord is full of shining silver...How about it, should I cooperate with Laosin..."

Hu Xiaomeng said it straightforwardly, and Princess Rui didn't go around the corner.

Hu Xiaomeng smiled, "Since the princess mentioned it, how could Xiaohua disagree? I think the princess has known Xiaohua for a long time!"

"Yeah, actually, I've eaten this canned food early. I went to Liangzhou to find the bottom, but I found that this thing was produced in batches and two batches in winter. Later, Laozi specially made a few jars and put them there. Only then did I find that when the weather was warm, it would break down. Naturally, I understood why it could only be produced in winter!"

Hu Xiaomeng looked at Princess Rui. It was difficult for ordinary people to pay attention to these subtle things. Unexpectedly, Princess Rui discovered the reason why she only made one or two batches of goods in winter!

Yes, the shelf life of canned food without task additives will naturally be greatly shortened!

"The princess is right, this is the real reason why Xiaohua only makes one batch or two batches every winter!"

Princess Rui took a sip of tea and then said, "But Lao Shi is here today, but she is not talking to you about the canned business. Lao Shi wants to do your grain and oil business!"

The grain and oil business that Princess Rui wants to do is naturally not just a simple grain and oil shop. Hu Xiaomeng understands that Princess Rui means that what she wants is monopoly!

Because the Tian family said that her rice smelled, then the rice would naturally be sold. Princess Rui had already purchased Fu'an's rice in the autumn of last year. Today, she asked her to give her all the first-hand rice. Only if she wanted it, Hu Xiaomeng could resell it elsewhere!

"Since the princess said this, what benefits will the princess give Xiaohua?"

Princess Rui smiled at Mimi, but her eyes were shining with brilliance, "There are several silk shops under the old man's banner. If the county lord does not abandon them, the shops will be given to you!"

"The princess is holding on to food, clothing, housing and transportation. Now that she gives Xiaohua clothes, will she lose money?"

"Hahaha... I like smart people to speak. Since the county lord can see, I will speak to you directly. It is because I am older, my daughter has no brains, and my son is not as careful as your second brother-in-law. If you keep it, you will be driven down sooner or later by others. It is better for me to use it as a favor with you. As for food and accommodation... Indeed, Prince Rui's Mansion in Beijing accounts for 70%. Now, I have put my family in front of you, do you agree?"

Princess Rui thought to himself, it would be great if this was her daughter or one of her daughters-in-laws had such a Keer!

"Agree! Xiaohua is a grassroots person, and she must be appreciated by the princess and cooperated with her. How could Xiaohua disagree!" Hu Xiaomeng smiled at Mimi, and she had her own plans. If she gave up the grain and oil in Beijing, specializes in clothing, and was covered by Prince Rui's mansion, she would not bear it or lose it, and she would not have to be distracted. This would be beneficial and harmless!

At that moment, Princess Rui took out a pre-designed agreement from his arms, "I knew that the county lord was a smart person. This is the agreement I planned. Look, if you can, we will sign the letter. Next autumn, the grain and oil in Lishutun will belong to my Prince Rui's mansion!"

Hu Xiaomeng took the agreement and read it word by word. It’s not that she doesn’t believe in the princess’s character, but business, it can’t just look at love!

After reading it, Hu Xiaomeng said nothing, asked Xia Yi to take her seal, and then put it on it!

"You're just covering it? Didn't you need to modify it?" Princess Rui obviously didn't expect that Hu Xiaomeng was so neat.

Hu Xiaomeng smiled with a pursed lips, "Princess, the agreement you wrote is fair enough, so it cannot be more fair. Moreover, if I sell my grain and oil, who will sell it, I will give it to you, how can I have any more requirements for the price you give... Besides, if people need to know how to be content, how could I pick the bones in the eggs?"

Princess Rui looked at her, and she really liked her more and more. In the past, she had this kind of gaze when she looked at the silver. Now, she thinks this girl is just a piece of silver!

He gestured to the nanny beside him, and the nanny took the princess' seal and pressed the agreement!

In this way, Hu Xiaomeng and Princess Rui were tied together from now on!

——

After sending Prince Rui away, Hu Xiaomeng went to Yang's yard. Chen Song's wife saluted her. Hu Xiaomeng said, "Have the old lady woke up?"

Mrs. Chen said, "Not yet, I just asked Dongxue to cook porridge and take it in..."

Before Mrs. Chen could say anything, she heard a "pop" sound from inside the room, followed by a roar, "Go out!"

Hu Xiaomeng was stunned. In her impression, Yang had always been gentle and had never been so angry. Who messed with her?

He hurriedly pushed open the door, but saw Dongxue kneeling on the ground, with a bowl of porridge on her body.

Seeing Hu Xiaomeng walking in, a hint of unnatural flashed across Yang's face with some excitement.

Hu Xiaomeng glanced at Xue Dong, looked at the broken bowls on the ground, and said, "Check out!"

Dongxue silently picked up the broken bowl and retreated.

"Mom, how do you feel?"

Hu Xiaomeng sat next to her.

But Yang grabbed Hu Xiaomeng's hand, "Xiaohua, I will only recognize you as my daughter-in-law in this life... The evil things Shi Tou did..."

"Mom, Dongxue chewed you some tongue..." Hu Xiaomeng frowned.

However, Yang held Hu Xiaomeng's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away!

"Mom, when you fainted last night, Shitou was awake, and the Bai brothers arrived in time and took you back, so nothing happened..."

"Can……"

Yang was stunned. Looking at Hu Xiaomeng's appearance that didn't look like he was telling lies, it suddenly became clear that the girl had a different mind.

She was so angry that she clenched her fists hard.

"Mom, that's your girl..."

The implication is that you can do whatever you want, fight and kill, no one will care.

Hu Xiaomeng looked at her pale face and said softly, "Mom, let An Ran make some porridge for you later. Your face is very bad..."

However, Yang's tears suddenly slid down, "Mother, she did too much..."

At this time, she was like a helpless child. She held Hu Xiaomeng's hand tightly, as if she was holding duckweed, making her unable to let go.

"Mom, Shitou and I should be fine..."

"Yes, mother, in this life, you and Xiaohua are the most important women in my life..." But Shi Tou walked in, sat on the other side of her, and reached out to hug the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law together!

Yang put his head on the shoulder of the stone and said nothing.

——

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. During this period, Yang sent Dongxue to the Xiayuan and started cleaning and washing work.

Except for Shangguan Feichen who occasionally came to sit, the others did not come again!

Today, on the fifteenth day, the entire Mingyang City was illuminated by various lanterns, just like daytime.

After Shi Tou came back from the military camp, he took Hu Xiaomeng to the streets.

"Why are you so anxious?" Hu Xiaomeng thought to herself. It wouldn't be too late to eat dumplings before coming out!

"The third prince asked us to go to Mingyang Lake for fun... Oh, Bai Cheng and Bai Yi, you don't have to follow me. Tonight, you can go out for fun too..."

Shi Tou looked back at the Bai brothers, and after he finished speaking, he carried Hu Xiaomeng to his horse, and then the two of them left!

Before we reached the place we made an appointment with the third prince, we met Tang Yuan in front of us.

"Holy Prince..."

Shi Tou called out, Tang Yuan nodded, "Come out and play..."

Shi Tou smiled, "The first time we celebrated the New Year in Beijing and the Lantern Festival, we went out and took a walk..."

Tang Yuan's eyes kept glancing at Hu Xiaomeng.

Hu Xiaomeng was very tactful and went forward to salute and said, "Is the prince also coming out to watch the lanterns?"

"Well! That, I found her in Beijing last time, but that woman - damn... ran away..." Tang Yuan said bluntly.

"Prince, I'm not familiar with Xiao Bingbing. It's really just a coincidence last time, but... you found it and let her run away..."

Tang Yuan's old face was red, "She was as slippery as a piece of mud..."

"But aren't you the one who catches Mi Qiu? No matter how slippery she is, she will have no mud or water, and she will have to be at your mercy..."

Tang Yuan said, "Oh, I... Forget it, I actually saw Qingning just now, so I knew you would come here, and I just wanted to try my luck..."

Hu Xiaomeng shrugged and thought to herself, I am not a half-immortal, I can't count on my fingers...

Tang Yuan left with a little lost.

Hu Xiaomeng reached out and poked the stone that was a little dazed, "Why are you in a daze?"
To be continued...
