Chapter 062 I also know that money has nothing to do with these things
"Ah'heng, the family next door just told me they need two bags of rice. I asked you to send them there when it's convenient for you. Also, Tao'er's family at the end of the alley has a broken hoe and needs a new one made. Do you have any for sale? That's for the blacksmith. And the bamboo craftsman, do you have any supplies..." Xia mentioned several households at once: "Have you told them you've opened a grocery store?"
Chen Heng was also confused by the sudden business: "I didn't say anything."
Deep down, she still feels irritated with the Xie family. Honestly speaking, it's not their fault. Everyone has the desire to seek benefits and avoid harm, and they don't know how fickle people are. The word "cold" really chills people's hearts.
Therefore, she was extremely reluctant to do business with these people.
"That's really strange." Xia said as she went into the kitchen to prepare the meat. Her brother-in-law was going to the academy soon, so she had to steam the newly bought pig's head for him to take with him.
At this moment, Xie Jian walked in. When he saw Chen Heng, he gave her a cold look.
"Ajian, were you the one who told people outside that I opened a grocery store and could deliver goods to people's homes?" Chen Heng was extremely curious.
Xie Jian hummed lightly, "When I passed by Uncle Xie's frame shop, he pulled me aside to chat for quite a while. Then we passed by the pond where the women were washing clothes, and they asked about my recent situation, so I mentioned this to you."
What a coincidence! Chen Heng looked at him awkwardly, thinking back to the resentment he had felt towards these people when he was a teenager, even though he couldn't see it on the surface now. "I thought you would have cut ties with them completely."
"Everyone takes what they need. Although I have never done business, I know that money has nothing to do with these things." Xie Jian glanced at him and went into the living room. He is now in college, and his teacher is Lord Lu. He also has the hope of passing the examination to become a scholar. Everyone can see what he is doing. When he goes out, they all want to make friends with him and talk about his affairs.
Chen Heng was choked. Well, that makes sense, very reasonable.
For breakfast, Xia made some pumpkin pancakes and some porridge with various beans.
Just as the family was about to start eating, Meng Xuanlang's cheerful voice came: "Xie Jian, I'm here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already entered the kitchen. The young man was dressed in brocade clothes and looked full of vigor.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, good morning." Meng Xuanlang greeted them.
Sister-in-law? Chen Heng's mouth twitched. She was a young social worker, and a 15-year-old kid called her sister-in-law. She couldn't respond even if someone called her that.
"Young Master?" Xia quickly stood up and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet. Lord Lu said that the pancakes in Nanming City are delicious. I'm going to go eat with Xie Jian. Are these your breakfast?" Meng Xuanlang looked at the things on the table curiously.
"There's a pancake about 200 meters to the left after you exit the alley." Xie Jian said indifferently.
Meng Xuanlang sat down next to Xie Jian, blinked, and asked, "Aren't you going to treat me to breakfast?"
Before Xie Jian could say anything, Xia Shiyu said, "The grains are simple and crude. I'm afraid the young master won't be able to get used to them."
"Get used to it, get used to it." Meng Xuanlang was not polite at all. His grandfather told him that he should listen more to what the people say, eat more of what the people eat, and see more of the people's sufferings. Only then can he become a good official serving the people in the future. These were the words left by his great-grandfather.
Having said that, Xia hurriedly served some grains and added chopsticks.
Chen Heng often looked at this most outstanding representative of the censors in the six hundred years of the Great Cong Dynasty. She only knew that he was a loyal minister, daring to speak his mind and act boldly, and was highly regarded in history. What was his life like? Hmm, I have forgotten.
It's just that his death was quite unjust, and it seemed like he was involved in some incident.
The records handed down all say that it was the treacherous minister Xie Jian who killed him, but some historians have overturned the verdict.
Before she integrated, she would only observe and even judge from the perspective of a bystander. However, in this era, it is very difficult to survive if you don't integrate and don't have a position. Therefore, she no longer looks at people and events with the perspective of a future person looking at history.
