Chapter 209 The Dandy's Business Skills

"Yes, you helped me, and I thank you." Lu Qiniang said, "So today, I won't argue with you. But you said I was meddling in other people's business, so think about it, is meddling in other people's business?"

"Do you think I shouldn't care about you?" Zhang Heyao didn't know what was wrong with him. He wanted to get angry every time he saw Lu Qiniang.

She always had a way of irritating herself.

"You shouldn't." Lu Qiniang said, "What was our relationship in the past? Whether you say it counts or not, you should know it in your heart. Now that you have married the princess, just live your life well. Don't flirt with me and make me look down on you."

"I, don't I care about you?"

"No need. I'm fine even without your concern. If something really happened like yesterday, then I'd be dead. That's my fate. It has nothing to do with you, and you can't be blamed. Don't be so clingy in the future, offending one person after another, and acting like there's something going on between you and me. If your princess wife comes to trouble me again, I, a commoner, can't handle it."

"So you're worried that she'll look for you. Don't worry..."

"Why are you still picking on me? Didn't you hear me tell you to hold your bowl properly and not look outside? There's nothing wrong between us! I won't argue with you, it's so annoying!"

Zhang Heyao was so angry that he fell backwards.

"Okay, it's fine. I'm leaving now. I won't accept the money. You can take it or return it if you want."

"Abandoned Mother!" Zhang Heyao knew she was soft-hearted and would not tolerate hardship, so he stopped her and said, "On the first day of October, were you the one who went to deliver winter clothes to my parents? When I went there, I saw the offerings and the things you had burned..."

"Yes." Lu Qin's mother said, "I am grateful for the kindness my parents have shown me. It has nothing to do with you. If there is nothing wrong, stop making small talk. Let's go!"

"how is your day?"

"Okay. As long as you don't come, I'm fine every day—"

As she was speaking, Lu Qiniang had already walked out.

Zhang Heyao sat on the chair with a dejected look in his eyes.

He murmured to himself, "Are you going to fight me to the end?"

Sun Shun stood nearby, wishing he were deaf.

He really didn't want to get involved in the affairs between the two of them, but Zhang Heyao insisted on looking for him.

He was caught in the middle and was in a difficult position.

Alas, Zhang Heyao doesn’t listen to advice!

When Lu Qiniang returned home, she received a huge surprise.

It's really huge!

Because of the two big axes she had been dreaming of, her dream came true.

Two large axes lay on the scarlet velvet, and the edges of the axes were still unsharpened but already exuded a chilling cold air.

"A single axe weighs forty-eight pounds and seven ounces."

Before Xiao Yan finished speaking, Lu Qiniang had already picked up the axe handle and chopped it in the air. Then she laughed like a child: "Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, it works well!"

"As long as you find it useful," Xiao Yan said with a smile, "I've also prepared a heavy sword for you, but it's not ready yet. Bring it back and try it out once it's ready."

"No, no, that's too expensive. I'll have to trouble Jiang Xuan. It's enough, it's enough!"

Xiao Yan: "..."

OK, OK.

This favor was finally attributed to Jiang Xuan?

Yes, he was penniless, and Lu Qiniang knew it.

Men, you still have to make some money yourself!

Lu Qiniang played with the axe with great interest for a while.

Yun Ting was so scared that he didn't dare to go out. "Qi Niang, Qi Niang, don't be so aggressive. If you let go and hit someone, won't their brains burst out?"

scary.

Lu Qiniang laughed heartily, "Do I look like a female general?"

"Female general? Then she must be like Jiang Yi? Can you ride a horse?" Yun Ting asked.

"I... rode a pig."

Yun Ting laughed heartily, "When you charge into battle on a pig, are you planning to make the enemy laugh to death?"

Lu Qiniang: "... Wait until I have money!"

She must buy herself a horse to satisfy her desire.

What if she makes a fortune selling firecrackers?

Thinking of this, Lu Qiniang enthusiastically told Xiao Yan about her plan.

“Although it’s a bit risky, if you don’t try, you won’t know if you can make money.”

"You can try it. But I'm also interested in blasting rocks." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

If it is really possible to blow up rocks, what about the city gates?

"That won't do!" Lu Qiniang's eyes widened. "Xiao Yan, don't try to get yourself killed. That won't do! Let's just sell firecrackers honestly. Don't even think about anything dangerous."

"Yeah." Xiao Yan nodded.

"I don't know if I can make money. What if I lose money..."

This time Yun Ting behaved like a human being.

"It's okay. Next time my uncle comes, I'll ask him for some money. He's so rich, why is he so stingy? Every time he comes, he brings nothing and eats and drinks for free. Others rob the rich to give to the poor, but he robs the poor to give to the rich."

"He's rich and doesn't owe us anything. Besides, how can we ask an old man for money?" Lu Qiniang said, "We still have money from our small business. Let's try tomorrow. I'm getting anxious."

"Okay, let's try it. This is good." Yun Ting said, "If it can really be done, I can help."

"You help?" Lu Qiniang seemed a little unconvinced. After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "You help put it away?"

That's really not worth it.

"Of course I sold it. Abandoned mother, do you think I'm a playboy?"

Why should he be one? He already is one!

"No, no. Who are you selling it to? You're not going to sell it back to the Yunguo Mansion, are you?"

"Duke Yun's Mansion has to buy hundreds of taels of silver worth of fireworks every year. It doesn't matter who they buy from. As long as they can be made, I'll let my father pay for them all. If there's more, then all my friends will have to buy them!"

Lu Qiniang: “…”

"It's so unlucky to be your friend. I have to force you to do things your way." Arya muttered.

"Are you stupid?" Yun Ting finally felt justified in pointing fingers at Erya. "Those dandies, if they have money to cheat others, they'd rather cheat me. At least I'm grateful to them. Others cheat them and then call them fools, don't you think?"

Arya: "...You are right."

As long as he can make money, he is the boss.

"Let's try it first." Lu Qiniang said, "If it's really good, then we can try to sell it. But it's not good to let people buy too much. It's not worth it to owe people a favor just to make money."

"Make it first," Yun Ting said. "As long as it looks good, money is not a problem. I'm just worried about that deaf Lei. He's not capable. Otherwise, people would rush to buy it without even having to leave the house. I have an idea. This thing has to be graded. The best one has to be auspicious, grand, and limited!"

Ask him why he understands?

Because that’s how he used to spend money!

Lu Qiniang thought it made sense. "Okay, then after we set up our stall tomorrow, I'll take you to see Lei Longzi again. You're very knowledgeable, tell him what kind of firecrackers and fireworks people in the capital like."

"No problem!" Yun Ting held his head high and chest out.

His status in this family finally improved.

But let’s not worry about the specific ranking for now.

I found the abandoned mother in the comment area, hehe, thanks to my sister for sharing
