Jiang Chao's fair face flushed, and he whispered, "It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I thought I had to come and thank you and Mr. Wu. But I didn't know I got on the wrong boat, and it was already August 15th when we arrived in Lin'an."

Yu Wen did not doubt him and enthusiastically pulled him to stay, saying, "Then stay here first. I have an appointment with Brother Wu to eat crabs today, and he has fifty-year-old wine. Let's talk about love today, not business. If there are any difficulties or bad things, we can talk about it after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Jiang Chao's eyes turned red.

Yu Wen loudly called A Tiao to help Jiang Chao clean up the guest room.

Jiang Chao thanked him repeatedly.

Ah Tiao took Jiang Chao's servant and retreated.

Yu Wen asked about the situation of Mr. Wang from Ningbo Prefecture.

Jiang Chao looked depressed and said, "Boss Wang has been forced into a corner. His boss's youngest son suddenly hooked up with the brother-in-law of the Zhejiang Provincial Education Commissioner, and the government turned a blind eye to this matter. I used to think that as long as I worked hard, I could save some money. Now I know that saving some money is not that easy."

The world has been peaceful for a long time. There are many wealthy and powerful families that have been standing for hundreds of years or even since the previous dynasty. If newcomers want to stand out, they will compete with these people. To succeed, the right time, place and people are all essential.

Yu Wen understood what he hadn't said yet, and comforted him with a sigh: "Don't be discouraged. Things change over time, and there are many wealthy families that have fallen into ruin."

Jiang Chao nodded and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to risk my life to get involved in this business."

Everyone knows that maritime business is not easy to do, but if you can fight your way out of it, it will be a very profitable business in the future. In just a few years, you can become one of the rich people, and then things will be easy in the future.

As the two were talking, Ah Tiao quietly entered behind the screen where Yu Tang and Chen were hiding and whispered, "Madam, Miss, Mr. Jiang doesn't even have any luggage."

Chen was horrified and looked at Yu Tang and asked, "What should we do?"

Yu Tang guessed that Jiang Chao was probably blocked by debt collectors and had no choice but to come to Lin'an to give it a try.

However, her father no longer cared about some things, so she didn't have to worry about them.

She took Chen out of the hall and stood under the eaves and whispered to her mother, "Since Dad has decided to help Master Jiang, we should not make it difficult for him. It is better to pretend that we don't know, give some money to buy some clothes for Master Jiang, and send him away quietly."

Yu Tang didn't know if Jiang Chao had encountered such a thing in his previous life, but judging from what Jiang Chao had done these days, Jiang Chao had lived up to his reputation in his previous life. Then he couldn't always hide in Lin'an. He would definitely go out and find a way to turn things around, so why should they be a villain?

In her previous life, many people helped her when she was in trouble. She should also be kind to others and help others to the best of her ability.

Chen thought what Yu Tang said made sense, so she opened the dressing box and took out the silver for Ah Tiao.

Yu Wen had no idea about this.

But Jiang Chao, whose heartstrings had been tense since he entered the hall, could see it clearly.

There was someone behind the screen. If it wasn't a woman from the Yu family, it was the friend that just talked to Old Master Yu. The servant who brought him in went to arrange his guest room, but now he went behind the screen. It was probably because he found that he had no luggage and asked the person behind the screen for instructions. The person behind the screen should be Mrs. Yu.

I just don’t know whether Mrs. Yu was wearing a dark green eight-panel skirt or a white embroidered skirt?

Those who wear white embroidered skirts are mostly maids.

The Yu family should have discovered his wolf.

Will Master Yu find an excuse to kick him out? Or will he keep him for a few days as he expects?

Jiang Chao's mind was in a mess, but he looked calm as he lowered his head and drank his tea.

Grandpa Wu rushed over as soon as he received the letter. Because of Jiang Chao's appearance, their original plan of the two families watching the moon, drinking wine and eating crabs in the yard together was disrupted. It became Grandpa Wu, Yu Wen, Yu Bo, Yu Yuan, Jiang Chao and Grandpa Wu's two sons drinking wine, watching the moon and eating crabs in the front patio, while the women of the Yu and Wu families set up a table in the backyard.

Mrs. Wu also knew about the failed investment. She had never had the chance to get together with Chen before, so she couldn't help but pull Chen's hand and talk about this matter: "You have to be willing to give up. Without giving up, how can you get. Besides, this family business was originally earned by their men. We were laughing when they made money, but now that they lost money, they are sad and can't say anything sarcastic. I thought I was the only one like this, but my sister-in-law is more generous than me. She even invited our family to eat crabs. I toast my sister-in-law." After saying this, she brought the Jinhua wine in front of her.

Yu Tang couldn't help but look at Mrs. Wu with admiration.

It was obvious that she was trying to persuade Chen.

Yu Tang used to think that she was a very versatile and good social person, but he never thought that she had such a broad mind and bearing. No wonder everyone wanted to invite her to be their lucky star.

She offered Mrs. Wu a glass of wine in submission.

Mrs. Wu, however, caught her and started talking about her marriage.

Yu Tang felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Wang laughed and came to the rescue of her niece: "Her matter is not urgent. The most important thing is to find someone who suits your heart."

Mrs. Wu nodded with a smile. Seeing that Xiang was just sitting there drinking tea and eating mooncakes, she enthusiastically picked up a crab and put it in Xiang's bowl, saying, "Try it too. This crab is really good. The crab meat is fat and delicious. It's rare."

When Xiang heard this, he looked at Wang for help.

Wang's eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy. She said, "Thank you, Mrs. Wu. But my daughter-in-law needs to be careful about her diet these days. Crabs are cold in nature and I dare not eat them. When the time comes next year, I will treat everyone to a crab feast."

Mrs. Wu was surprised, but soon she became as happy as Mrs. Wang, and kept saying "Congratulations" and "Don't forget this time next year."

"Of course, of course!" Wang's face was full of joy, but Xiang lowered his head a little embarrassedly.

Yu Tang was completely confused.

Chen then smiled and patted her daughter's head, saying, "Silly girl, you are going to be an aunt soon."

Yu Tang suddenly realized.

No wonder Yu Yuan hesitated to speak, no wonder the aunt came to borrow cloth...

Yu Tang said "Oh my!" and scolded Xiang Shi: "Sister-in-law didn't even tell me."

Xiang blushed even more and said shyly, "Just three months..."

In his previous life, Yu Yuan had no children.

In this life, she and Yu Yuan can both be parents.

Her eyes moistened and she raised the wine glass to toast Xiangshi.

Chen smiled and snatched Yu Tang's wine glass, saying, "You are confused, girl. How can your sister-in-law drink at this time? I should have told you a few days later."

Mrs. Wu and others burst into laughter.

However, Yu Tang drank a few more cups for the first time, and his steps were a little unsteady when he returned to his room.

Jiang Chao was drunk but his mind was clear. He returned to the guest room and drank two cups of strong tea. He finally sobered up a little and immediately asked the servant who was still busy making tea for him: "What did the Yu family say?"

The servant said hurriedly, "Nothing was said. They even brought some clothes and twenty taels of silver to the master on the orders of their mistress, saying that they were for the festival. I also received one tael of silver as a reward."

They are indeed a kind family.

Jiang Chao let out a long sigh.

These days, he was being chased for debt and was afraid of implicating his mother, so he didn't dare to go home. He even had no money to send holiday gifts to the Yu and Wu families.

This favor can only be repaid later.

He thought of the green and white skirts behind the screen.

They are all kind-hearted people.

He was thinking vaguely and didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, it was not only bright day but also high in the sky. The servant was sitting in front of his bed, bored and dazed.

"Azhou." He called the servant.

Ah Zhou was startled and stood up immediately, saying, "Master, are you okay? Master Yu came early in the morning, but he didn't wake you up when he saw you were still resting. He just told you to have breakfast after you wake up and go to the study. He and Master Wu are waiting for you in the study."

Jiang Chao rubbed his temples and then he remembered that Yu Wen had invited him to visit Lin'an City at the banquet yesterday.

It seems that he got up too late.

The feeling of a hangover is not pleasant. Jiang Chao washed his face and had breakfast. It was not until he was walking on the way to Yu Wen’s study that he felt himself slowly sobering up.

Yu Wen and Mr. Wu decided to accompany Jiang Chao to Zhaoming Temple first and then to Tianmu Mountain.

Jiang Chao was in no mood to have fun, but he could not refuse the invitation, so he finally took the Wu family's carriage to Zhaoming Temple.

On the way, Mr. Wu told him about the scenic spots and historical sites of Lin'an City and some interesting stories, among which he mentioned the old plum tree of the Pei family: "... the older generation said that it is the same as the Wudao Pine in Zhaoming Temple, but one is in the east and the other is in the west. They are the two oldest trees in our Lin'an City, but it is hard to tell whether it is true or not."

Yu Wen laughed and said, "It's probably fabricated by those scholars. This is the first time I've heard of this."

Jiang Chao's heart was beating wildly, and even his voice became a little sharp: "You are not talking about the Pei family, are you? The Pei family of Xiaomei Lane? The Pei family with three successful Jinshi scholars! From the tone of your two brothers, it seems that you have some friendship with their family?"

Master Wu was stunned and said, "I'm talking about the Pei family in Xiaomei Lane. We are from the same hometown as the Pei family, so we are definitely acquainted with each other. But if we talk about familiarity, then Master Yu is definitely more familiar with him than I am. They are both scholars, and when Master Yu's shop opened, Master Pei San even came to congratulate him in person."

This is truly a silver lining!

Jiang Chao couldn't hold back his excitement and said, "My two brothers have saved my life."

Master Wu and Yu Wen looked at each other, and Jiang Chao said excitedly, "Didn't the youngest son of Boss Wang's boss get involved with the Zhejiang Provincial Education Commissioner and make Boss Wang give up his family and business? I have been thinking about whether I can go the way of the Ningbo prefect. What the two brothers said just now reminded me that instead of going to the Ningbo prefect, we might as well ask the third master of the Pei family to come forward."

Mr. Wu and Yu Wen only half understood what was said.

The two exchanged glances again.

Master Wu said carefully, "You mean we should ask the third master of the Pei family to help us with the lawsuit? Could it be that the Pei family has some kind of relationship with the prefect of Ningbo?"

These are all trivial matters. What they are afraid of is that Jiang Chao suddenly came to Lin'an this time just to ask Pei Yan for help.

They are kind people, but they are not fools and don't want to be used as guns!
