Chapter 234 Seeking Cooperation

Yun Ting looked proud.

Who are you yelling at?

He was still thinking about using Qiao, but then he heard Erya say, "Rather than relying on him, it's better to rely on Ah Huang. What does he know?"

Yun Ting was angry.

"Don't underestimate me. We can work with Jiang Yi. The Jiang family army is highly disciplined and private. They're less likely to leak secrets than others. Besides, I think they're pretty broke, relying on the imperial salary. Why not let them do the work and we pay them? Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

On the way back today, he came up with this idea while talking to Jiang Yi.

The main thing is that the cuffs of the big brother who was holding him while riding a horse were worn out.

In the middle of winter, the gaps were frozen hard and would prick his hands if he accidentally touched them.

You can imagine how life is like.

You know, this is a well-known and senior veteran around Jiang Yi who has a bad temper!

Xiao Yan remained silent after hearing this.

Lu Qiniang only believed him. She nudged him with her elbow and said, "Xiao Yan, what do you think? What do you say?"

Xiao Yan: "...I don't have any objection."

If he actively expressed his agreement now, it would seem as if he still had some feelings towards Jiang Yi, which would not be good.

Lu Qiniang said, "That's fine. But we have to ask Miss Jiang if she's willing. How about this, let's see tomorrow if anyone has ordered our fireworks. If so, will you accompany me to the Jiang Mansion?"

She was afraid to go alone.

When I got to the Gaomen compound, I didn't know which leg to take the first step, where to sit, or whether to use water for washing hands, rinsing mouth, or drinking...

Anyway, she was already feeling dizzy in the Zhou Mansion, a not-so-high-class family.

Xiao Yan nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you."

"Jiang Yi will definitely agree. She's even thinking about asking Xiao Yan to give Jiang Quan some advice! Speaking of which, I saw Jiang Quan and Zhou Xiaoyao walking together today. They were whispering to each other the whole time."

Jiang Yi said that Jiang Quan had just met a new friend. Although he didn't ask further, he knew in his heart that it was Zhou Xiaoyao.

I don't know how these two got together.

"Fifth Young Master?" Lu Qiniang asked, "Why did he go there too? He also knows Master Li!"

Yun Ting: “…”

How can this be round?

Lu Qiniang was not surprised when Jiang Yi appeared, because after all, she had been engaged to Xiao Yan, so it was normal for her to know his relatives.

But it was really strange that Zhou Xiaoyao appeared at Xiao Yan's grandfather's house.

"Well, my grandfather knows a lot of people, so maybe someone else took the Fifth Young Master there." Xiao Yan said lightly.

"Oh, that's possible. Although the circle in Beijing is very large, it's normal for rich and powerful people to hang out together and know each other." Lu Qiniang gave her own explanation, "Then let's all go back to bed and see how things go tomorrow."

When she lay down on the kang, Lu Qiniang couldn't sleep.

She said to Xiao Yan, "Isn't it strange? When my family wasn't so well off, I could sleep as soon as I touched my pillow. But now that things are getting better, and I might even be about to make a fortune, I can't sleep?!"

What's wrong with this?

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "You are so happy. I am happy too. After all, there is more hope in life."

"I hope to make money and buy a piece of land for Daya, and preferably a shop... You talk about me, the more I think about it, the more I think about it..." Lu Qiniang felt embarrassed for her greed.

"Everything will be there, don't worry."

After this busy period is over, he will go to the Marquis' Mansion to get back what belongs to him.

"You think Miss Jiang would agree? I think she's a nice person."

"Let's see tomorrow." Xiao Yan didn't dare to say too much, although he also felt that there was no problem.

"Hmm." Lu Qiniang said, "What's that noise outside? Why do I hear Erya talking?"

"She and Yun Ting are whispering outside. They should say a few words and then go back to sleep. It's okay. I'm listening to the noise." Xiao Yan said.

"You brought it back?" Erya looked at the rouge in her hand, her face flushed with excitement. She couldn't help but open it and start counting. "One, two, three... eight, how do I count it?"

She frowned.

"Divide?" Yun Ting didn't react.

He saw that Erya was a little envious of Daya's dowry and knew that she liked rouge and powder, but he only knew about black eyebrow powder, so he asked his grandmother for it.

"How do you divide it?" Yun Ting understood that, did he need specific tools to cut the snails before he could use it?

There's no reason not to bring tools.

"That's right." Erya said, "Sanya is too young, so if we don't give her to her, how will my mother, my eldest sister, and I divide these eight people?"

"Oh, that's what you mean. It's up to you, right? Divide it however you want." Yun Ting said, "Or you can keep it for yourself. Anyway, I haven't told anyone."

"I won't eat alone!" Erya was in trouble.

"Then give two to Qi Niang. She won't use them much anyway. You and Zhao Zhao will each have three." Yun Ting suggested.

"That's fine, huh? We have more than Mom does..."

"It's not a rare thing. If you like it, next time I come in... I'll ask for it again."

"Didn't you see what's written on the box? This is Luozidai. It's very expensive. I've only seen the eldest lady of the Zhou family use it before. She only has one of these, and she's reluctant to give it away. Every time she uses it, she's very careful, afraid to use a little too much." Erya said, "Let me think about it. Thank you for thinking of me!"

"Then can you please stop scolding me before the New Year?" Yun Ting asked.

"Okay." Arya agreed reluctantly, "Unless you can't help it. Just don't mess with me."

Yun Ting: “…”

Okay, it’s free.

Erya always has the right words.

"Are you happy now?" Yun Ting asked, "Don't compare yourself to Zhao Zhao. When you get married in the future and your family is rich, you'll have a bigger dowry than hers. Will you still give Zhao Zhao some of that?"

"Even if our family is rich, can I still go beyond my eldest sister?" Erya rolled her eyes. "It's not like there are only three of us sisters. If mother gives birth to younger brothers and sisters in the future, I have to leave some for them."

She doesn't ask for more than her elder sister, but she doesn't want to have less than her elder sister either.

She just hopes that her mother will treat them the same way.

"It's not like Xiao Yan won't have an estate to leave to his children in the future. Forget it, as long as you're happy. Don't act unhappy anymore. It'll be hard for Zhao Zhao to see that."

"When have I ever been unhappy? Isn't it enviable?" Erya pouted, "I just envy my eldest sister for being smart, capable, and marrying well."

"Okay, okay, I was blind and saw it wrong." Yun Ting yawned and said, "I'll give you the things. You can divide them up however you like. I'm going back to my room to sleep. I'm really exhausted today. By the way, don't learn secretly when you go back. Wait for me tomorrow and we'll learn together."

Erya stuck out her tongue and said, "I studied hard at home all night."

Yun Ting was furious. He went back to wash his face and forced himself to fall asleep with the book in hand.

The next day, Lu Qiniang went to the warehouse nervously, and found that there were many people waiting there to buy goods.

Xiong Da and the others were all terrified.

Daya came along today and said calmly, "Everyone, please follow me. I will write down everything you need."

Yun Ting: "Come on, come on, I'll take the money."

Seeing that they were calm, Lu Qiniang did not dare to delay and went to Jiang Mansion with Xiao Yan, buying a few things.

"It's okay," Xiao Yan comforted Lu Qinniang, standing in front of the Jiang family's red gate. "The Jiang family is originally a family of military commanders, so there are not so many rules."

"I'm afraid I'll look around and be ignorant; if I say something wrong, I'll be laughed at."

"Jiang Yi is not a stingy person. Just look at whatever you want to see. If you don't understand, just ask. No one will laugh at you."

At this moment, Xiao Yan felt sorry for Lu Qiniang.

But when they were brought into the training ground, and Lu Qiniang openly watched the Jiang family soldiers, who were shirtless and training enthusiastically, Xiao Yan had only one feeling -

The sky is falling.

He broke off a piece of the sky and smashed it hard on his feet!
