He saw with his own eyes how lavishly Princess Huimin spent, and how much she rewarded her servants with a few taels of silver. After he got Princess Huimin's favor, she provided food, drinks, clothing, etc.
After all the money was spent, Princess Huimin had to restrain her temper. If it weren't for the huge power of her family, he would have despised her for being as fat as a pig!
He was not in a hurry to leave. He spent the next few days observing from across the street. The business of Fangjia Incense Shop was really booming.
Just when he was about to leave, the carriage team from Da'an Escort Company came back. Duan Chengde jumped out of the carriage and said, "My boss, I brought back sweet shrimps this time. Let me try them first."
Boss?
Li Jingrui just thought it was ridiculous. They hadn't seen each other for a few months. How could the Fang family suddenly transform and have an escort agency?
Fang Jing'an waved his hand: "Send some to Ah Shi when you go back. There won't be any fishy smell here."
"Sure." Duan Chengde waved his hands with a smile: "Then I will deliver the goods to Chunxianglou. The price is very good this time."
Li Jingrui, who was in a mess in the wind, always felt that this was something sinister, so he simply refused to leave and called Da'an Escort Agency in Luwu County.
It's okay not to inquire. This inquiry scared Li Jingrui so much. The Fang family has a very good relationship with Zheng's wife's family, so that's it. The bandits in Qingwa Village have a good relationship with the Fang family, from Luwu County to Jing
On this road to Hefu, if you want to do business, you have to let Da'an escort escort you, otherwise who would dare to leave?
The spice shop was even more powerful, and rumors reached Li Jingrui's ears. It was a lucrative business, not to mention Luwu County, and the entire Qinghe Prefecture was probably full of scorpion poison.
Li Jingrui took a breath slowly, shouldn't Fang Qingshi die?
He was in a complicated mood and did not dare to go directly back to Lijiazhuang. Even if he was wearing a human skin mask, he was worried about being recognized by the people in the village. But if he wanted to know what his home was like, he had to see it with his own eyes. He simply hired a carriage on the street and passed by Lijiazhuang in the morning.
When I was walking down the street, I saw the neat yard of my house. Fang Qingshi was carrying a medicine basket and took Li Jingtai out, apparently to collect medicine.
By chance, when I came back in the evening, I happened to catch Fang Qingshi and Li Jingtai lining up to sell herbal medicine.
After watching this for three days, I put on a human skin mask and went to Kaoshan Village. It was okay if I didn’t look at it, but I became even more irritated when I looked at it. The Fang family here is more lively than the Lijiazhuang. The herbs are drying in the yard, and the people are busy sorting the herbs.
, it looks like a big deal at first glance.
I also heard that when my dead letter was sent home, my mother took people to the Yamen to make a fuss. This was a small matter. As a mother, Zhou was disrespectful to her elders and was actually caught in bed and made trouble in the Yamen. This
He had heard about the matter, and Li Jingrui wanted not to show up, but the Fang family's business was so popular in the local people's mouths. He knew about it, and it was already in the capital. If the business came into his hands, he would be able to do it with his own intelligence.
That's the real way to make money every day.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, he decided to go to Zhoujiazhuang.
When I arrived at Zhoujiazhuang, I didn't come rashly. Instead, I observed for a few days and found that my mother always went out at odd hours. She didn't walk far, so she sat by the river. You could tell from her walking posture that her belly was not small.
.
I wish I could just push this shameful, unruly bitch into the river!
Zhou was sitting here to relax. Although her eldest brother had brought her back, she couldn't stand it for a long time. Her sister-in-law pointed at Sang and scolded Huai all day long. She found that her nephew's wife was about the same size as her belly. She was very scared, fearing that she would give birth to a daughter or a nephew.
The daughter-in-law gave birth to a son. When Zhou Yuanwai recognized the son, it would be difficult for him to enjoy the happiness. In the end, the property would have to be taken by the eldest brother and his family.
But there was no way to go home. She showed no mercy when she left. Li Jing and that little beast were getting more and more bad-tempered. He was afraid that he would be beaten to death because of his big belly.
"This auntie." Li Jingrui came over and bowed.
Ms. Zhou was startled, and was about to curse, when she saw that this person was dressed as a scholar, her eyes suddenly turned red. Thinking of her short-lived son, she couldn't help but pity her for her hard life, hard work to raise him, and risking her life to provide for him.
If he hadn't died early while studying, how would he have ended up in this situation?
Li Jingrui saw Mrs. Zhou shed tears and stepped back half a step: "Auntie, I want to ask for directions."
"Ask me, you really look like my Jingrui." Mrs. Zhou choked with sobs.
Li Jingrui frowned slightly. He looked at Zhou's belly again and suddenly had a plan. He lifted up his robe and knelt down on the ground. He took off the human skin mask and said, "Mother, do you think you can see who I am?"
Zhou was so frightened that she almost screamed, but was caught by Li Jingrui: "Don't scream!"
"No, no, don't shout." Zhou looked at Li Jingrui tremblingly: "Are you a human or a ghost?"
Li Jingrui grabbed Zhou's hand and touched his face: "Human! I'm hot, mother, listen to me."
Zhou's tears fell from her eyes and she nodded vigorously.
Li Jingrui took Mr. Zhou to a nearby grove to hide from others, and whispered his experience.
Hearing that her son had fallen in love with the eldest daughter of the prince's family, Mrs. Zhou kept herself from fainting by digging into her middle.
"The Fang family's business is quite big now. If we can get their incense recipe, we will make a fortune. It will be easy to take you to the capital to live a prosperous life." Li Jingrui said.
When the Fang family was mentioned, Mrs. Zhou stopped trembling and cursed about what happened during this period of time.
Li Jingrui was worried about how the Fang family became so prosperous. After hearing this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Why do you think Fang Qingshi's contribution here is not small?"
"That bitch is not a good thing! Look at how miserable Mom is. It's not that she doesn't follow the rules of a woman. I'm telling you..." Mrs. Zhou once again explained the process of selling Qingshi, and Li Jingrui secretly smacked his tongue.
, she can also use such vicious methods, she is truly worthy of being her own mother.
But it's really weird. Fang Qingshi can actually harm others. How can she, a country girl, use this ability?
Seeing that her son was silent, Mrs. Zhou grabbed his sleeve and said, "Jingrui, why don't you speak?"
"My solution is that you go back and don't let Fang Qingshi show up. When the child is born, she will say it was her." Li Jingrui said.
Mrs. Zhou quickly waved her hand: "What about that? Everyone in the village knows."
"Then go live in Luwu County. Didn't Jinghe buy a house there?" Li Jingrui said.
Mrs. Zhou quickly shook her head again: "Jing He has become bad. I don't dare to say anything. His posture can kill me."
Li Jingrui stood up and paced back and forth. This thing was not going to work no matter what. It seemed like he had to spend some money to make it work.
"In this case, I will take you to the house in Luwu County to wait for Jinghe. If he sees me alive, how dare he not listen to my arrangements?"
Mrs. Zhou's eyes lit up, then she said, "Son, if this baby is a boy, all the property of Mr. Zhou's wife's family will belong to us. Don't we want to give it up?"
