Shang Ruoyi snorted coldly, what’s the relationship? It's naturally a hostile relationship.
"I am his concubine's daughter."
Qian Niang's eyes darkened instantly. Just as she was about to get up to see the guest off, she saw Shang Ruoyi put down the teacup and said leisurely, "But he and his legitimate wife killed my mother, and he also framed me for exile. If we really talk about the relationship between us, it's not an exaggeration to say that we are enemies!"
When Qian Niang heard this, she was stunned for a moment: "Are you the second young lady of the Xiangfu who married the prince of Ding?"
"Shopkeeper Qian is very well-informed!"
"In our line of work, we naturally listen and watch more." Qian Niang's attitude returned to what it was just now, and she said with a smile: "It is fate that we can meet each other thousands of miles apart. I am so proud to call you Sister Ruoyi, how about we discuss a business deal?"
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Sister, please speak."
"I think your fruit is good, how about selling it to my sister?"
"It's just some fruit. My sister and I hit it off right away. If you like it, I'll give it to you. I have more at home."
When Qian Niang heard this, her eyes became even more enthusiastic: "Did you grow this fruit?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "This fruit is called strawberry. It is not only sweet, but most importantly, it is very good for the body and can prolong life."
"Oh?" Qian Niang looked at the two baskets of fruits with some doubt in her eyes. They were just fruits, how could they prolong life?
"Sister, why don't you try a few?" Those animals were raised in the spiritual spring water in the space, so they naturally have the effect of prolonging life.
Qian Niang picked up a strawberry and put it in her mouth. The sweet taste was something she had never tasted before. Even if it did not have the so-called effect of prolonging life, this fruit could definitely be sold at a high price.
She ate two more in succession, and just when she was about to reach out to take another one, she suddenly realized that her waist, which had been sore since she woke up that morning, had no feeling at all.
this······
Could it really be like what she said, that it can prolong life?
"How is it?" Shang Ruoyi knew from her expression that the strawberry business was a done deal for her.
"It's really good." Qian Niang looked at Shang Ruoyi with a completely different expression than before: "How many strawberries do you have at home, sister? I'll take them all."
"Sister, you may not know that my strawberries are available all year round."
When Qian Niang heard this, her eyes lit up: "Sister, what you mean is..."
"Of course I want to do long-term business with my sister."
"It seems that my sister has a narrow vision." Qian Niang said with a smile: "I wonder what price my sister wants to sell this strawberry to me?"
"Twenty taels per basket, fifteen baskets per day."
That is three hundred taels of silver.
Hearing this, Qian Niang nodded and said, "Okay! I'm also straightforward, sister. In that case, I'll send someone to fetch fifteen baskets a day." After she finished speaking, she took out fifty taels of silver and handed it to her, "For these two baskets of strawberries."
"If you say it's for me, then I'll give it to you. You're welcome." Shang Ruoyi stood up, took out a note from her bosom and put it on the table: "Here is my address. Tomorrow my sister will send someone to pick it up."
What else doesn't Qian Niang understand after seeing this? She had already decided to cooperate with her early on, and the scene of scrambling for the fruits on the first floor was also within her calculations. Perhaps even if the diners did not ask the price of the strawberries due to face, she would still hire someone to act out this scene!
Qian Niang's guess was correct, Shang Ruoyi did make this preparation.
On the way back, Yingxue asked in confusion: "Miss, we have so many strawberries. Why don't we sell them directly? This way we can make more money."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "We are new here and can't even tell the directions of this county. How can we do business here? In this county, the people who can afford to buy strawberries are basically the customers of Tianxiangju. This is the fastest way for us to open up the strawberry market."
Yingxue nodded, not quite understanding.
As soon as I entered the village, I saw a group of officials going door to door asking something.
At this moment, Ah Cheng stopped the carriage, and an official's voice sounded: "Open the door, everyone in the carriage get out."
"Boss, what's the matter?" Ah Cheng smiled and said, "We are all good people."
"I told you to open it, so open it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" The officer kicked him angrily and said, "Hurry up!"
At this time, Yingxue opened the car door under the instruction of Shang Ruoyi. The officer saw that there were three women in the car, so he did not make things difficult for them. He asked if he had seen He Ningan recently.
Heningan?
"Isn't he in the village?"
"You just need to answer my questions, why do you have so many questions?"
Seeing that they didn't seem to be lying, he let them go.
After returning to Xiao He's house, Shang Ruoyi realized that He Ning'an was missing.
"What do you mean missing? Did he run away?" Shang Ruoyi said with a frown.
"If you wanted to escape, why didn't you escape earlier? Why did you have to stay in exile for so long before escaping?"
He Yunyi thought: "Maybe it's because he knew his own life experience and couldn't accept it for a while, or he was afraid of being laughed at by the people around him, so he ran away, or..."
She didn't say the rest, but everyone knew what she meant.
Lin Xiao shook his head: "Your second uncle is not a thin-skinned person. How can you survive and be laughed at for him?"
The old princess said nothing, but sat in the main seat with a frown on her face.
At this moment, a servant came running over and said, "Old man, the officer wants you to come over."
"Do you know what it is?"
"It is said that the body of Master He was found under the cliff on the north side. Since He Jinghe fainted, the officer sent you to confirm whether it was Master He."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Down the cliff?
Is it really possible to jump off a cliff?
The old princess was helped by Aunt Li to stand up and walked out.
All the members of the He family followed.
When they arrived at the foot of the cliff, the officers covered their noses and stood far away from the corpse on the ground.
The He family members walked forward, and Shang Ruoyi walked forward and found that the corpse on the ground had been soaked and swollen.
The entire body had already rotted and smelled bad.
"Sister-in-law, come back soon." It was the first time that He Yunyi saw death, and it was a death in this posture. It was too horrible for her. She would definitely have nightmares at night. Seeing Shang Ruoyi actually walking forward, she was so scared that she screamed.
The officer saw her coming over and frowned: "What are you doing?"
"Big brother, my family doesn't dare to come and see, I want to see if it's my second uncle."
Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a county magistrate's robe came over, looked at Shang Ruoyi and said, "Are you the daughter-in-law of the He family's eldest wife?"
"That's right." Shang Ruoyi found that after she said this, the man's eyes became softer than before.
"How dare you not salute the county magistrate when you see him?" the bailiff next to him shouted.
"No need, no need." He didn't dare to accept her gift, or the prince would skin him alive.
