Chapter 116: Changing the Way of Thinking to Trick Wen Ruyue
Since Wen Ruyue dared to steal Wen Yan’s things, she must be prepared to be retaliated against!
It only takes a little effort to make Wen Ruyue lose all his money.
Sometimes, Wen Yan even wished that she could personally give Wen Ruyue advice so that she could make more money and store more food.
Meng Chifei rolled his eyes.
I understood what she meant in an instant.
Some people spend money and effort to collect, transport and store grain, which can save us a lot of trouble in disaster relief.
Meng Chifei also followed suit, feeling very disappointed: "Tell me, why is Wen Ruyue so stupid?
Couldn't she expand her business a little more and earn more money to store grain?"
"Our 'A Little Ink' has stolen the show. After the auction ends the day after tomorrow, all the scholars in the capital will know only 'A Little Ink'. Who will still remember Miao Bi Zhai?"
"Will Wen Ruyue not be able to earn money then? How can she help us store food then?"
Wen Yan smiled and hooked her finger.
Meng Chifei leaned over and whispered.
Wen Yan whispered, "It's a cold winter in the capital this year. Do you think Meng Chifei will make preparations in advance?"
Meng Chifei stroked his chin and analyzed seriously: "If 'Miao Bi Zhai' can't continue to operate, she will definitely find a new way to make money. In desperation, she will definitely seize the opportunity of the cold winter.
When the time comes, are we going to snatch away the charcoal she has stored?"
Now, the only thought in Meng Chifei's mind was to snatch all of Wen Ruyue's things.
Who told her to snatch Wen Yan's things first?
Wen Yan shook her head: "Let's change our thinking."
"What good ideas do you have? Tell me now!"
Wen Yan kept it a secret: "You can make money, but how much you can earn will have to wait for Qingchuan to come back to determine.
Besides, it's not the season for burning charcoal yet, so we should hold off for now."
Meng Chifei covered his mouth and laughed secretly: "When Wen Ruyue finds out that everything she did was to prepare wedding dresses for us, do you think she will be furious?"
Wen Yan was not as relaxed as her.
If Huo Yaoxing was also reborn, Wen Ruyue would not be so easy to deal with!

The Mansion of Marquis Jinping.
Wen Ruyue's yard.
With a 'bang' he dropped the account book to the ground.
Wen Ruyue cursed, "They are all a bunch of trash!"
Today, the turnover of Miaobi Zhai was only ten taels of silver.
The profit is less than six taels.
What can you do with six taels of silver?
It wasn’t even enough for her to treat Mrs. Xie from the Lan family to a cup of tea!
It's all 'a little ink'.
Took away her business.
Wen Yan is so hateful.
It was clearly me who was reborn, and I had trampled her into the mud, but she could still go against me!
Wen Ruyue was so angry that she couldn't sleep well all night.
**
The next day.
After a night of rest, Wen Yan and Meng Chifei became full of energy again.
After they had breakfast, they went to the shop to keep an eye on it.
Xiao Wu has already started cleaning with a few helpers.
Ying Zhilin and his fellow disciples were also helping.
Ying Zhilin saw Wen Yan, said something to her, and prepared to return to the academy.
"Wait a minute." Wen Yan chased after him.
Wen Yan took Ying Zhilin to Tonghetang to see a doctor.
Tonghetang is the most famous medical clinic in the capital. Doctor Lin who works there is a retired doctor from the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Doctor Lin has silver hair and looks like an old immortal.
He took Ying Zhilin's pulse twice and finally said with absolute certainty, "He's in excellent health, as strong as a bull, and has no illness."
"But he's been studying very hard lately. Doctor, please prescribe some medicine to replenish his vitality."
Seeing how loving the young couple was, Doctor Lin prescribed some mild, tonic medicine.
Send Ying Zhilin away.
Wen Yan thought deeply.
Since Yingzhi Lin was not ill, his early death in his previous life was caused by external forces.
It seems that Yingzhi Lin died early in his previous life, which was closely related to Wen Ruyue.
Although the store was bustling with customers today, there were no generous customers like yesterday.
I guess everyone is waiting for tomorrow's auction!
but.
In the capital, the news that the Jiang and Zhu families wanted to return the imperial gifts spread quickly.
In the afternoon, an unexpected guest came to the store.
"Miss Jing." Wen Yan was surprised to see Jing Mingmei. "I thought you would show up tomorrow."
The two exchanged a few polite pleasantries and then got straight to the point.
Jing Mingmei said: "Tomorrow, I will make Jiang Rouer and the old man happy."
The old man is Huo Yaoxing's father, the current Marquis of Jinping.
Wen Yan raised her eyebrows and teased deliberately: "You haven't made any movement for such a long time, I thought you were soft-hearted and didn't want to do it anymore."
"I was too soft on him before, which made me so unhappy," Jing Mingmei curled her lips in disgust.
She now feels sick when she sees Marquis Jinping.
"How do you know I didn't take any action? Every time that old man sees Jiang Rouer, his eyes are glued to her.
Jiang Rouer also noticed his intention and was afraid that the old man would take advantage of her, so she was trying every means to become Huo Yaoxing's person as soon as possible.
Tomorrow is the best time to fulfill their wish."
"You have your own ideas, so I won't interfere." Wen Yan said.
Jing Mingmei was not a stupid person because she was able to escape with her two children under her protection in her previous life.
Jing Mingmei changed the subject and talked about the real purpose of her visit: "I heard that you have a calligraphy work of the emperor? You have to leave it to me."
Wen Yan said helplessly, "You're a step too late. If you had come yesterday, I would definitely have given you the first piece of calligraphy. The news of the second piece of calligraphy has already been released, so it all depends on your own ability."
Jing Mingmei said, "I'm not asking you to open a backdoor for me. Before the auction starts tomorrow, just tell me the amount of money the bidders will pay."
For Wen Yan, this is just a matter of flipping through the account books.
However, Wen Yan agreed and casually put forward her own request: "Help me keep an eye on Huo Yaoxing. From his studies and meetings to his food, clothing, housing and transportation, I want to know everything."
"You've checked so carefully, you don't seem to still have feelings for Huo Yaoxing, do you?" Jing Mingmei teased back.
She was taking revenge for Wen Yan's teasing on her!
Wen Yan rolled her eyes and answered her.
"This is a piece of cake. I can find out exactly what color bellyband Huo Yaoxing wears every day."
Jing Mingmei said this, waved her hand and left.
Today, the popularity of "A Little Ink" is not as good as yesterday, but it still made 800 taels of money.
On the contrary, Miao Bi Zhai was affected and did not even have ten taels of silver today.
There are only five taels of silver, and the profit is less than three taels.
Wen Ruyue was so angry that her face turned blue: "Wen Yan, don't even think about replacing me!"
Isn't 'A Little Ink' very popular?
Then I will add fuel to the fire and make you even more popular!
Late that night.
Two men, with their heads wrapped in clothes, sneakily touched "a little ink" to do something bad.
They didn't notice at all that three men in black flew over their heads and entered the backyard of "A Little Ink".
The three men in black took off the kettles from their waists and sprinkled the liquid inside at three locations on the wall.
A pungent smell came, it was kerosene!
Super-fire oil will ignite as soon as it comes into contact with fire and burns rapidly.
If it were to catch fire, the 'bit of ink' would turn into ashes.
I saw them take out a tinder and blow it gently.
With a "whoosh", flames jumped out.
