Chapter 50 Let’s sell food too

"I beg you to save me once and give me a chance to mend my ways."

"From now on, I will never have second thoughts again."

Qi Rui knew that this was her only way to survive and she had to hold on to it tightly.

Young Master Sun's expression was somewhat teasing. As the cold wind lifted the car curtains, the light flickered and flickered, and his face seemed to reveal an indescribable cruelty and coldness.

"Xiao Rui."

Folding the fan, Qi Rui gently lifted her chin and sighed softly, "You and the young master are not on the same page. The young master doesn't dare to trust you."

He was very moved by his close relationship with Lu Miao, the real daughter of the Marquis's Mansion.

Qi Rui gritted her teeth and forced out a flattering smile. At first glance, she looked very lively and bright. Under her long, fluttering eyelashes, her eyes were filled with affection as she whispered softly, "Rui'er begs the young master to forgive me."

Rather than being caned and having to spend money to redeem my indentures, and wandering around with my grandmother without any support, I might as well give it a try.

She and Sun Ershao have a common enemy.

And Lu Miao, who is far away in Shangjing City, is her greatest support.

After all, it was absolutely true that Lu Miao had given her the earrings.

However, the real story was that Lu Miao was obsessed with Xie Yan, and knowing that she and Xie Yan had always been in contact, he asked her to be his lobbyist.

Young Master Sun pursed his lips slightly and increased the force of his hands until Qi Rui's chin was bruised. Then he burst into laughter, "Xiao Rui, I remember that you didn't want to be a concubine, didn't you?"

"I was ignorant before." Qi Rui frowned slightly and repeated once again, "I beg you to forgive me, Master."

Young Master Sun stopped laughing and said, "Since Rui'er asked for it, why shouldn't I respond?"

Outside the carriage, Ah Xing felt like he had lost his parents.

How can the young master be so fickle and so greedy?

Qi Rui suddenly became the young master's concubine, so how could he have a good life?

Thinking of those outrageous and rebellious words, Ah Xing wanted to slap himself in the face.

The wooden wheels creaked as they moved forward on the dirt road, and Ah Xing's heart grew heavier.

At the same time, Lu Mingchao was lying lazily on the soft and thick chair, with his eyelashes drooping listlessly.

On the table, there was a bowl of brown sugar, red dates and ginger tea, and the hot steam filled the room.

Lu Mingchao's cheeks, as white as jade, gradually turned red, like peach blossoms in full bloom, with a faint blush.

"Xie Yan."

"A Yan." Xie Yan never tires of correcting others.

Lu Mingchao took a sip of ginger tea and said helplessly, "Ah Yan, will you blame me for being stubborn and inflexible? I could have taken a step back and followed the doctrine of the mean, but I insisted on not giving in and provoked a powerful enemy?"

She knew that Xie Yanxi lived in Changxi Village to avoid disaster and was unwilling to make enemies easily.

Xie Yan smiled faintly, scooped another spoonful of ginger tea to Lu Mingchao's lips, and waited until Lu Mingchao finished drinking before speaking, "What is moderation?"

"You have no principles at all, you play both sides, and you keep backing down?"

"Since the Ming Dynasty had been familiar with the books of sages since childhood, they should have known the doctrine of the mean and sought impartiality."

"That young master Sun is notorious for his bad deeds. He has done all kinds of evil things, including bullying men and women. When dealing with people, we should stick to our conscience and not associate with such a bad person."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Why would I blame you?"

"A rush growing among hemp will stand straight without support, and the white sand will become black with it."

"Living with good people is like entering a room full of orchids. If you stay there for a long time without smelling their fragrance, you will be transformed by them. Living with bad people is like entering a shop selling abalones. If you stay there for a long time without smelling their stench, you will be transformed by them. What cinnabar contains is red, and what lacquer contains is black. Therefore, a gentleman must be careful about who he surrounds himself with."

"So, Ming Dynasty, this is also the gentleman's way that I follow."

"As for the great enemy?"

"The Sun family is indeed not worthy."

Xie Yan's voice is clear and firm, making people trust him for no reason.

Lu Mingchao raised his eyebrows, curved the corners of his lips, and smiled brightly.

Xie Yan's eyes flickered slightly, his Ming Dynasty smile was so beautiful, and the whole person looked lively.

The afterglow of the setting sun streaming in from the window fell generously on Ming Chao's beautiful face, as if expensive cosmetics were embellishing it bit by bit.

Xie Yan's eyes no longer had any other scenery.

"Has Ah Yan secretly accumulated his own power?" Lu Mingchao asked softly.

Xie Yan nodded. "It's been nearly three years. If I still have nothing, my ancestors will probably come to me in my dreams and scold me for being an unworthy descendant."

"In the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to blame yourself, and there is no need to worry."

"Your choice and decision are correct. As your husband, I should stand by your side."

Lu Mingchao shook his head, tiny fragments of light scattered in his eyes, and the light flowed "No."

"Ah Yan, the forces in the dark cannot be used casually just because of a scumbag like Sun Ershao."

"Like you said, he doesn't deserve it."

"He relied on only the grain stores in Changhe County. Food is the primary need of the people, so he felt that the Sun family, which controlled half of the grain supply in Changhe County, had become the top priority."

“It’s ridiculous.”

"Ah Yan, do you understand the character of the person in charge of the Sun family?"

"Is Sun Ershao as rich and unkind as he is and does so many evil things?"

"Or do you mean that Young Master Sun is a good man who turns out to be evil, and is an outlier in the Sun family?"

Xie Yan frowned and thought for a moment, "If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked."

"The Sun family really made their fortune and became the largest grain merchants in Changhe County by driving up grain prices during famine years, selling the stored grain at high prices, and making a fortune from the national disaster. They made a fortune."

"Nothing."

Lu Mingchao blinked and slammed the table, "Then there is nothing to feel guilty about."

"Xie Yan, let's open a grain store and sell grain."

Xie Yan was slightly startled. "Then I will go to the city as soon as possible and find a store with a suitable location and reasonable prices, and then negotiate with the farmers to reach an agreement."

Lu Mingchao waved to Xie Yan, "Ah Yan, I have food."

She is blessed every day, which is almost a huge profit.

If they just wanted to suppress the Sun family, they could have simply started a price war, continuously lowering the price of grain, forcing the Sun family to spend all the grain.

However, since ancient times, grain has been very expensive, which hurts the people; and very cheap, which hurts the farmers.

If she drives the price of rice down to zero, other grain merchants will also try every means to lower prices for farmers in order to reduce costs and expand sales. That will definitely not be a good thing for the ordinary people who depend on the weather for their livelihood.

Therefore, she would only look for a relatively moderate price.

But she has a good lover who sells grain.

Xie Yan was very surprised, but he didn't ask any further questions.

"Okay, I'll go pick a store in two days."

Lu Mingchao nodded and said, "We still have to be careful."

"Young Master Sun and Qi Rui are both vindictive people. They will never tolerate this. Who knows what bad things they will do behind my back."

"Will Young Master Sun keep Qi Rui?" Xie Yan was a little puzzled.

"Wolves and monkeys are traitors." Lu Mingchao thought without hesitation, "Don't forget, they have a common enemy, so they will definitely hit it off."

Xie Yan: "Isn't Sun Er Shao afraid of being bitten again by Qi Rui?"

Lu Mingchao raised his hand and gently stroked the scar under Xie Yan's eye. "If my guess is correct, Qi Rui should have recommended herself to be his wife."

"It's really a road that will go all the way to the end."
