When hearing the word "You Yue" from Jiang Xuening's mouth, You Fangyin's first reaction was surprise, because she didn't know how she could guess so accurately, but after just a moment, this surprise turned into terrified—
The owner has helped her a lot.
She didn't want to cause any more trouble for her employer.
Not to mention, this person is still her sister You Yue, who is very difficult to deal with. She came back yesterday and said a lot of unpleasant things...
Never let the second girl know!
At that moment, she slowly and forcefully pulled her palm back from Jiang Xuening's hand, and Qiqiai said: "No, my injury has nothing to do with my second sister, it's all my fault. It doesn't matter if this little injury is small, it will only take a few days of care. All right."
Jiang Xuening leaned on the lead pillow and looked at her.
The scrutiny from the bottom of her eyes turned sharp, she said slowly: "I just asked your second sister if she came back, and I didn't say that your second sister caused your injury, why are you so eager to defend her? ?"
Only then did You Fangyin realize that she was in a hurry and that she had leaked stuffing, and that she was not good at lying, let alone lying to her savior, she was embarrassed for a while, and said: "Because Fang Yin knows that the second girl is really good to me, and I am afraid that the second girl will misunderstand and have a disagreement with the second sister. After all, I heard that the second girl and my second sister are both reading for the princess in the palace. We should get along well. My second sister, she's amazing... "
sharp
When she was pressed into the fish tank, she didn't dare to refute the "powerful" a few more words
Jiang Xuening laughed in her heart, her eyes moved slightly, and suddenly asked, "Are you afraid that I will take care of this matter and offend your sister, will it be difficult to live in the palace?"
You Fangyin was stunned for a while, and after a long while, she slowly lowered her head and said, "Yes."
Jiang Xuening was silent.
You Fangyin was afraid that she might be angry or sad, so she explained in a panic: "My second sister is very fond of my father and mother at home, and her temper is not very good. I heard that on the day of the Double Ninth Banquet, Lian Yongyi Hou Prince Yan of the palace and His Royal Highness Prince Linzi are both here, and the painting she painted was named first by Her Royal Highness the Princess, so she must be very fond of Her Royal Highness. If, if it is because of my misunderstanding, let me There was a conflict between the second girl and my second sister, Fang Yin really didn't dare to think about it, and felt sorry for it..."
Jiang Xuening almost laughed out loud.
This girl really didn't understand the situation, she seemed to regard You Yue as the most terrifying and powerful person in her life, and she looked like she was afraid that she would be bullied by You Yue, that's why she made such compromises and swallowed her voice.
A living air bag.
It does look a little irritating.
But he also wanted to protect her from the bottom of his heart, and would rather endure the grievance himself, rather than let her know that You Yue was making a fortune in the manor, lest it would involve her.
Jiang Xuening and You Yue's grievance is really not bad. At this moment, her slender fingers are lightly placed on the corner of the case, and she slowly turns around, and suddenly she has a mind.
The raised eyebrows slowly lowered.
She seemed to remember something unbearable, sighed faintly, and a trace of realistic bitterness hung on the corner of her lips: "That's right, your second sister is very much favored by Her Royal Highness Princess, she is very powerful..."
You Fangyin was still nervous at first, afraid that Jiang Xuening would provoke You Yue, but when she saw her dejected demeanor, her heart sank, and she blurted out, "She, did she bully the second girl?"
Jiang Xuening supported the corner of the case and buried his head.
A hand was slowly clenched where You Fangyin could see it, and he said, "The night before yesterday, when we were still in the palace, we were having a good chat about an adult in front of me, and I was talking, I don't know which sentence angered her, so she told me to go to her side. I went over, but I didn't expect that she would suddenly make a move, so fiercely and fiercely attacked me... "
At this point, it was already a bit choked up.
In any case, there is no way to go any further.
God knows she hasn't pretended for a long time, she almost laughed just now.
At the moment, he just buried his head so that You Fangyin could not see his expression, and he quickly raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eye that had no tears at all.
In the house, Tanger and Lianer looked at each other: Is there something wrong with our girl's weak painting style
She didn't finish speaking, but the effect was better than finishing.
Just left an infinite reverie-
What the hell did Yu Yue do to her
You Fangyin's mind was filled with this question all of a sudden, thinking of the day when she rescued her from a desperate situation in You Mansion, and also remembered that day when she cried but hugged her tenderly yesterday, and also remembered that day. What Jiang Xuening said.
It was something she had never dared to forget.
In order to save her, the second girl gave up the biggest support in her life.
But now her second sister is not only bullying her, she is actually bullying the second girl!
The fingers hanging by the side and trapped in the sleeves are quietly clenched!
You Fangyin's eyes suddenly turned red.
Her body was trembling slightly, but this trembling was completely different from the previous tremor: it was because of fear, and at this moment, although the fear has not dissipated, it has added a sense of anger.
Jiang Xuening only raised his head at this time, turned to look at her again, raised the corner of his lips, and gave her a smile.
The more brilliant it is, the more dazzling it can be in You Fangyin's eyes.
Jiang Xuening stretched out her hand to pull her down again, with a deep smile in her eyes, but she tried to comfort her in a warm voice: "Oh, it's all my fault, why do you mention this in a good way? After all, someone like me is not favored at home, There is no noble person in the palace, so naturally I can't compare with your second sister. I must have made her a taboo unintentionally. How can there be no grievance in the palace? It's only half a year."
You Fangyin sat down, but her eyes were lowered, her body did not relax at all, but was even tighter than before.
Jiang Xuening sent Tanger Lian'er out first, pretending to be relaxed: "Look at me, looking at your injury, I forgot to talk about the real business. You have a lot of money in your hand now, and you can barely be regarded as one. He is not a small businessman. I heard people say that in the past month or so, there is a salt farm owner from Sichuan, whose surname seems to be Ren, and his name is Ren Weizhi. Develop a salt farm at home. Many people know that their salt farm has been boiling salt for more than 100 years, and there is no salt brine in the ground for a long time, so even if the boss Xiaoren said that he is willing to give dividends to the salt farm in the future according to the proportion of everyone's money , and everyone is reluctant to vote. But this boss Ren also said that he has invented a new tool that can hit deeper into the salt well... "
The famous salt fields of the Dagan Dynasty are basically in the south.
But the artesian wells in Sichuan area are exceptions.
This can be called the largest salt field outside the sea!
People dig wells from certain places, and brine will flow out of the wells. In Shu, there is a lot of scorching gas in the ground. After the brine is drawn from the ground, it is just right to set up a pot near the salt well to bleed the air and burn it, dry the brine, filter the brine, and finally fry the salt.
The salt produced in this way is called "well salt".
The well-known salt in Shu is well-known in the north and south. Therefore, in the place of Ziliujing, there are hundreds of salt farms of various sizes that make private salt, and the imperial court cannot control it.
Ren Weizhi has been running the salt farm for three generations, and it happens to be the fourth generation in his hands.
But how can a well withstand hundreds of years of mining
The salt wells in Shu are all "large shallow wells". A well can only be dug so deep. However, with the extraction of brine, the height of the brine will gradually decrease, and finally drop below the depth of the salt well, and then no more brine can be extracted anyway.
Salt wells will become "abandoned wells".
The salt pans will also decline.
Ren Weizhi took over such a salt farm that was on the verge of declining.
It is difficult to accept such pressure when a person is in a desperate situation.
So for the next two years, he splurged on gold and silver, drank to relieve his worries, and sat on the empty salt field with nothing but abandoned wells all day long and weeping.
But suddenly one day, he fell over the wine jar.
I pressed it without hesitation.
The ground was hard soil, and when he pressed down with his palm, the fragments of the wine jar slowly plunged into the soil.
So in such a moment, in the midst of all kinds of hardships and the darkness of his heart, he suddenly had an epiphany!
Ren Weizhi suddenly stopped drinking and didn't even go out the door. He was locked at home all day long, and he bought various books on construction. It took him three months to concentrate on research and draw a few pictures. complex drawings.
But now he has no money.
There are not many people around who are willing to lend him money.
Ren Weizhi had to come to Beijing in person to ask a friend of his father's former friend for help. Unexpectedly, this friend of his father heard that he was here, but he was very hospitable and was willing to lend him some small money, but he wanted to borrow a few thousand yuan. Ten thousand two, but it is evasive in every possible way.
Ren Weizhi spent two months negotiating in Beijing, but he was finally disheartened.
He was concerned about the salt farm at home, and had no choice but to announce to other salt merchants in Beijing that he had developed a new tool to mine "abandoned wells". , hurry home and implement your plan.
This new tool is the famous "Taku Tsutsui".
In the last life, Jiang Xuening heard this story in the palace. When Shen Jie summoned the ministers of Shu, Ren Weizhi had been hanged in the salt field at home for three years.
He did raise a sum of money from the capital to go back.
After returning to Sichuan for a while, he also made this "Zhutsutsui", but he was unlucky. On the first night of trying out Zhutsutsui, he hit the scorching gas deeper in the salt well, and there were lanterns outside at that time. The open fire, the flames surged up, and the fire immediately burned.
The entire salt field was destroyed.
The first Zhutsutsui made of bamboo also collapsed in the fire.
What's more, several long-term workers were injured in the fire.
The merchants who had lent him money earlier came to him almost immediately, demanding that he repay.
Ren Weizhi is exhausted.
The salt field was destroyed, and Zhuo Tsutsui was gone. Not only did he have to lose money for Chang Gong to treat his burns, he also had to pay for the principal invested by the merchants according to the contract made at the beginning. On the day when all debts were cleared, a hemp rope hung himself on the wreckage of the salt pan, Takutsutsui, ending his troubled life and passed away.
Three months after his death, the drawings left in the box were found;
Four months after his death, the second Zhutsutsui was built, and he successfully dug a well more than 20 feet deep into the ground, and extracted a 20-foot deep well hidden in an "abandoned well" that had never been encountered before. brine;
One year after his death, Zhuo Tsutsui has become an essential tool for brine extraction from the "small deep well" in the artesian well salt field;
Three years after his death, wherever there is a salt field in the Artesian Well, his portrait will be enshrined!
That is to say, the Zhuotsu well invented by Ren Weizhi can be used for mining brine deep in the formation, but he was unlucky and could not survive the most difficult period.
Jiang Xuening still remembers that when You Fangyin in the last life talked to herself about her self-made experience, she also lamented that she missed this great opportunity because she didn't know that Ren Weizhi was raising money in Beijing.
She also said something like "drilling technology" and "natural gas."
Jiang Xuening couldn't understand these weird things.
But she knew the ins and outs of this incident, and she also knew how many twists and turns there would be.
"You have to know that it's not that easy to accomplish something. You might experience a lot of despair in the middle of it, but you can only grit your teeth and know that there is another village in the dark." Jiang Xuening stared at You Fangyin and told her A meaningful story, "Since Ren Weizhi dared to borrow so much money and said that he could mine 'abandoned wells', he must be able to use this 'Takutsutsui'. If he has enough money, he will seize the opportunity, Buying the 'abandoned well' that other salt fields don't want, and then using the 'Tokatsutsui' to make brine, God knows what a great career will be made."
You Fangyin was a little confused about the matter of picking brine to make salt.
But this did not prevent her from understanding the key to Jiang Xuening's words.
That is-
This Ren Weizhi is a capable person. If you invest money in him, even if you may lose a lot in the middle, as long as you grit your teeth and support it, you will be able to open up a new world!
Jiang Xuening knew that she understood at least the most crucial part, she turned her eyes slightly, thinking of You Yuelai, she reminded You Fangyin with a worried look: "You know, this time I have the news very much. It's not easy, don't say it again. This time is different from the last time. The last time I sold silk was fine, but this time I will go through a tough process. If something goes wrong in the middle, I may not pay Put all the money in. This is a long-term transaction, and the torture in the middle is not something that ordinary people can bear. If anyone who can't hold back knows that, they will invest money on impulse, and in the end they can't even receive the original. Come back, didn't you hurt people?"
You Fangyin's clenched fists did not loosen, and when she heard Jiang Xuening's words, a crazy thought suddenly popped into her mind.
But she didn't say it.
He seemed to be thinking about something at the moment, nodded slowly, and said, "Fangyin remember."
Jiang Xuening said: "I have already pointed out what should be pointed out. You have been out for a long time today. There is such a powerful sister at home, but I dare not keep you any more. I will send you out."
You Fangyin stood up and saluted.
Jiang Xuening got up and stepped on the embroidered shoes, took her to the door, and put a medicine bottle in her hand: "This is the medicine for you, apply the wound well, it will be healed soon."
You Fangyin's tears almost fell: "You are so kind to me."
Jiang Xuening laughed at her as a fool, but he stroked the top of her head and said, "If you know that I treat you well, you will treat yourself better. By the way, I made so much money last time, but don't let your second sister know about it. I'm not sure how to inquire about your 'how to make money'. She bullied me. After all, she was in the palace, and I would endure it no matter what. But you are in the palace, and I'm really afraid that you have something wrong with her. I I know, you also want to protect me in your heart, but don't be because of some conflict between me and her... "
Tang'er and Lian'er were standing outside, hearing these words very familiar: Isn't this what You Fangyin said just now? The second girl moved to use it almost intact!
You Fangyin didn't notice this at all. Hearing her words, her body trembled, her eyes were red, but her head was buried deeper, and she only replied in a low voice, "Yes."
Jiang Xuening looked relieved and asked someone to send her out of the house.
You Fangyin came out from the side door, and the carriage was still waiting outside.
The coachman was already dozing off a bit, and when he saw her coming out, he was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, where are you going now?"
Holding the small medicine bottle in her hand, You Fangyin stood on the steps and looked at it for a long time.
There was no expression on a face.
There was a surge of anger in her heart, and she only clenched the medicine bottle tightly again, and said every word: "Go to Qingyuan Uncle's Mansion."
You Fangyin walked on the front foot, Jiang Xuening's previous weakness that I felt pity for, immediately dissipated.
She snorted softly and clapped her hands lightly.
Tanger Lian'er was stunned by how quickly her face changed from front to back!
It is not easy to correct people who are weak in nature.
But it is not impossible.
Jiang Xuening was someone who could coax men into circles in his previous life, but now he just used the methods of coaxing men to coax women, and the effect was so immediate anyway.
Although she wanted to teach You Fangyin to do business and make more money, her situation in Bo's Mansion was too bad, so she couldn't do these things with peace of mind.
To resist the outside, you must first be safe inside.
The situation in the back house is not resolved, and the business is not assured.
You Yue is narrow-minded and vicious, let's see if You Fangyin, this silly girl, will give her another surprise.
Lian'er hasn't figured out everything that happened just now, she just feels that her whole head is dizzy: "Girl, she, you, just now..."
Jiang Xuening didn't want to explain, but said: "It's getting late, let's go and see if the carriage is ready, we should go too."
Lian'er suddenly couldn't ask any more questions.
This one sent someone to see the carriage.
On the other side, a servant from the house hurriedly came over with a basket of fresh pears, his face was full of joy, and said, "Second girl! This is something sent by Mrs. Zhou, Jinyiwei, Zhoufu, in Xiejie Hutong. The Dangshan crisp pears were just shipped from Anhui Express, and they were just rewarded, and they are here for you to try."
There were twelve and three pears in the basket.
Each one looks soft yellow, plump and fresh.
When Jiang Xuening saw it, he could hear the servant's report again, but his expression changed slightly.
Top things up.
It should be that Zhou Yinzhi has already obtained the shortage of thousands of households.
if so…
I'm afraid that this evening, Yan Lin may not be here.
Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Tang'er asked cautiously, "Girl?"
Jiang Xuening came back to his senses and said, "It's just a basket of pears, just put it down."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes, walked back into the room, and sat quietly.
After a while, Lian'er came back and said, "The car is ready. But the second lady, you don't seem to be very comfortable. Today, are you still going to the Xiaolou?"
Jiang Xuening blinked and said, "Go."
What if
