Chapter 159: Softness, Not Hardness (Part 2)
Jiang Zhiluo was stunned for a moment. Seeing how the yamen runner addressed this man, could it be that this man was Jian Yunyin's elder brother, the son of the county magistrate?
Jian Yunyin said that her eldest brother's hand was broken by a carriage, and he went to the provincial capital to get treatment.
Jiang Zhiluo took a quick look and found that his right hand was indeed curled up in his sleeve and not exposed.
Normally, even if the sleeves of ancient people were wide, part of their fingers would be exposed.
This man has a strong scholarly air about him. Although he is a teenager, he looks elegant and steady.
I heard from Jian Yunyin that her elder brother is very knowledgeable and well-read.
He also said that his family was counting on his eldest brother to pass the imperial examination.
When she heard Jian Yunyin say this, she always felt that Brother Jian Yunyin seemed to be carrying something.
The family's hopes rest on him, so he dare not slack off.
Brother Jian Yunyin is already a scholar.
If you pass the provincial examination, you become a juren, and your status is different.
He can still continue to take the exam, but his right hand is injured and he doesn’t know if he can still hold a pen.
When Jiang Zhiluo thought of this, her expression changed.
Jian Yunci seemed to sense a gaze on him. He glanced sideways and saw a beautiful and elegant girl standing at the door.
Jian Yunci was slightly stunned, but he looked away after just a glance, nodded to the yamen runner, and was then escorted into the mansion.
"Master, you are finally back."
"Master, everyone is very worried about you."
"Master, we all miss you very much."
"Master, are you cold? I'll light some charcoal for your room..."
Everyone surrounded Jian Yunci and went inside.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at his weak figure, thoughtful.
I don’t know if Jian Yunyin has come back.
…
After buying the land, Jiang Zhiluo felt more at ease.
She still had three taels of silver in her hand, enough to hire some people to plant crops.
But now that we have five more acres of land, we don’t have enough peanut and corn seeds.
Mrs. Cui didn't leave many seeds.
Jiang Zhiluo wants to buy some more seeds.
When Jiang Zhiluo went to the market, many people there felt very friendly when they saw her.
They also enthusiastically asked her why she hadn't come here to set up a stall for such a long time.
Jiang Zhiluo greeted everyone with a smile, "I've been too busy lately. When it's farming season, I won't be coming to the market."
"But I made something new called chili con carne. I'll bring it back for everyone to try."
Everyone knows that Miss Jiang’s cooking is delicious, so everyone thanked her in advance.
Jiang Zhiluo was mainly busy promoting chili meat sauce at the dock.
If you have tried the food at the market and think it is good, it is also a good deal to buy it from her.
Jiang Zhiluo strolled around the market and found many stalls selling grain seeds.
Everyone knows that it is farming season now, and many people will buy seeds.
Jiang Zhiluo bought some corn, peanuts, red beans, mung beans, soybeans and other crops.
She puts them in the space first. After being nourished by the spiritual energy of the space, the seeds will become of better quality and have stronger adaptability to the environment.
The output will also be high.
When Jiang Zhiluo was walking back after buying things, a carriage stopped by the roadside and a maid got out of the carriage.
Seeing this maid, Jiang Zhiluo raised her eyebrows.
Isn’t this Chen Huadie’s maid Fangcao?
"Our young lady would like to have a chat with Miss Jiang."
Jiang Zhiluo said coldly: "I have nothing to discuss with your young lady."
"Miss Jiang, aren't you afraid of offending the Chen family by refusing like this?"
Jiang Zhiluo snorted coldly and said, "Don't forget that we still have the county magistrate above us. The Chen family wouldn't dare to cover up everything with one hand."
"If I tell anyone what you said, Miss Chen will lose her reputation."
Seeing Jiang Zhiluo's indifferent look, Fangcao was very angry.
"You, a village woman, are so arrogant."
"You are just a servant, and it's the same for us. There's no need to criticize me."
Jiang Zhiluo is a person who responds to soft words and does not respond to harsh words. If you try to be tough with her, sorry, she is not threatened at all.
Just then Chen Huadie got off the carriage.
She came up to Jiang Zhiluo and said, "Miss Jiang, I won't say any more nonsense. You'd better stay away from Wei Shao from now on."
Jiang Zhiluo narrowed her eyes dangerously, "What if I don't?"
Chen Huadie said, "I know Miss Jiang has to support her family and earn a meager amount of money. If you are kind, these twenty taels of silver will be yours."
"If you don't listen, I can also make it impossible for you to set up a stall here anymore."
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and sneered, saying, "If we don't agree, there's no need to talk too much."
After saying that, Jiang Zhiluo walked around Chen Huadie and headed forward.
Fangcao's face turned pale with anger. "Miss, look at her. A village woman is so arrogant."
Chen Huadie said, "Then let's teach her a lesson."
"Let Master Cui see who is the better one."
"Yes, miss."
Chen Huadie thought that dealing with Jiang Zhiluo was not a problem.
She and her maid returned to the mansion in a carriage. After she and her maid sent the servants into the house, she fainted shortly afterwards.
Jiang Zhiluo entered Chen Huadie's room quietly.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Chen Huadie and Fangcao who had fallen unconscious and kicked them to the ground.
Then he started punching and kicking them with his fists.
"Teach me a lesson, you guys!"
"I haven't been active for a long time."
Jiang Zhiluo kept punching Chen Huadie and Fangcao.
Only after she felt relieved did Jiang Zhiluo stand up and stretch.
Then leave quietly.
What a joke! She had personally prepared some medicine for self-defense.
This will come in handy.
When Jiang Zhiluo was about to climb out of the courtyard wall quietly, she suddenly saw Cui Hejin outside the wall.
Jiang Zhiluo was so shocked that she almost fell off the courtyard wall.
"careful!"
Cui Hejin stepped forward and supported Jiang Zhiluo.
"You didn't twist your ankle, did you?"
Cui Hejin asked worriedly.
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head, feeling a little guilty.
She quietly went to see Cui Hejin and asked, "You...why are you here?"
Cui Hejin said, "Dad sent me a straw raincoat and kudzu root."
So this is for her?
Jiang Zhiluo was stunned for a moment and said, "My father came home. Is he still home now?"
"No, you...when did you come here?"
Cui Hejin looked at Jiang Zhiluo with a half-smile and asked, "When do you want me to come over?"
Jiang Zhiluo always felt that Cui Hejin's beautiful and deep eyes had a deeper meaning.
She forced a smile awkwardly and said, "Well, I was just passing by to see the scenery here."
Cui Hejin looked at her with amusement, picked a leaf from her hair and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No."
Cui Hejin said gently, "Well, my father had already gone back when I came to town. Do you want to go back to your mother's house? I'll accompany you."
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Yes, Pueraria root is a good thing. I thought about asking my parents how to make Pueraria root powder."
Then I talked to my parents about spring plowing.
When Cui Hejin and Jiang Zhiluo were walking back, no one noticed that Cui Hejin looked in the direction of the Chen family's courtyard wall, and a dangerous dark light flashed in his eyes.
