Xu Zifan and his family quickly established a firm foothold in Fucheng. Lin Ruonan has the intentions of the cloth workshop, and the business is very prosperous. Both Xu's father and Xu's mother said that they had married a golden baby.
Almost no one in Fucheng knew what happened to them in the town, and Xu Zifan had never been ill when he came to Anyang, so the Xu family never heard any gossip, and life was much more comfortable.
The Lin family in the town was different. They opened a restaurant. Lin Ruoshan's wine was indeed a big sign, but the restaurant's dishes were not attractive and the business was mediocre.
Many people compare their family with the Xu family. One day when Lin Ruoshan rarely went out, she happened to hear someone talking about it.
"The Xu family and the Lin family responded to the saying 'Goodness is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil'. The Xu family went to Fucheng without relatives and no reason, and they were able to do a prosperous business. The Lin family is in our town. How long have you been in the restaurant? My nephew went to eat and said that the food was similar to that in a small restaurant, and he was too embarrassed to ask for such a high price."
"Who said no? You still have to be honest. I don't dare to go to the restaurant opened by the Lin family. Who knows if Lin Ruoshan will go crazy and put medicine in the dishes one day!"
"This... can't be?"
"Why not? Lin Ruonan is still her own sister. She can kill people. What are we outsiders? In short, be careful, it's not that there is nowhere to eat."
"That's true. If Lin Ruoshan can't get married, who knows if she will go crazy one day."
Lin Ruoshan bit her lip angrily hiding in the alley.
How long has it been? Why do they still say these things? Is she going to carry a lifetime of stains on her back? If the Xu family is doing well, I want to say her, and if the Lin family's business is not good, I should say her. Why are they talking about her? What's the matter with them
Lin Ruoshan ran home and faced Lin Fu, who was getting more and more grumpy. The investment in the business has increased, but the income is similar to that of the original liquor store. He can often hear gossip, which makes Lin Fu extremely stressed and cannot accept it. Every day, he will anger his wife and children.
Lin Ruoshan was hitting the muzzle of the gun, and Lin Fu reprimanded: "Where have you gone? I don't know how to make a good wine, where are you embarrassing?"
Lin Ruoshan lowered her head and said, "Father, I'm trying to help you, find a quiet place to think of ideas."
"Help? Hmph, if you really want to help me, you should hand over your recipe for brewing and let me sell it to Mr. Li. One thousand taels is enough for my whole life!"
Lin Ruoshan patiently changed the subject, "Father, I'm very talented at making seasonings, why don't I go to the restaurant to do things, and make some seasonings by the way to see if the food tastes better."
Lin Fu squinted at her suspiciously, "You can also prepare seasonings? Why have you never heard of it?"
"I haven't been worthy before, and I only got it in the past two days. Dad, it's just a try anyway. If it works, we can make more money."
"Then you can try it at home first, and you can go." Lin Fu didn't take it seriously, and waved her to the kitchen impatiently.
Lin Ruoshan added some spiritual spring water to the water, and then added spiritual spring water to the seasoning and dried it, and let Wang cook at night.
Lin Fu has been unable to eat for several days. He rarely ate a large bowl of rice, and a smile appeared on his face, "You can go to the restaurant with me tomorrow. When you're done, you will be in charge of the kitchen from now on."
"Father, I won't let you down." Lin Ruoshan smiled obediently and finally successfully entered the restaurant. But she has grown a lot these days, and she is no longer happy about this. Because she already understood that this was only the first step. She still had a long way to go before she could get a restaurant or break away from the Lin family to find a backer.
The road ahead is boundless, and Lin Ruoshan has no idea what the future will hold. She is just unwilling to live a worse life than the Xu family, let alone Lin Ruonan in her previous life, otherwise, what is the point of her rebirth? The spiritual spring water was her only strength. She began to think about how to use the spiritual spring water to get the most benefit. She must make herself indispensable.
The attraction of Lingquan water is naturally invincible. The Lin family restaurant began to taste delicious, and often after eating, it became very energetic. People attribute this to the deliciousness of the food, and the restaurant business has become better day by day. Lin Ruoshan In the restaurant, he also has a certain right to speak, and began to make his own contacts quietly.
However, Lin Ruoshan became very hard. During the day, she had to get up to the restaurant early to add spiritual spring water to all the water, and she had to be vigilant against being seen. At night, she would start brewing as soon as she got home and finished her meal, and "mixed" a lot of seasonings. . She has to work from morning to night almost every day, relying on the spiritual spring water to eliminate fatigue. But the body is no longer tired, but the mentality is inevitably more and more tired, and even a little disgusted with this kind of life.
Even so, she didn't get anything good. Mrs. Wang said that she was idle at home and wanted Lin Ruoshan to teach her how to prepare the seasonings, so that when Lin Ruoshan went to the restaurant during the day, Mrs. Wang could make the seasonings at home. But Lin Ruoshan refused to say anything and couldn't tell the reason. The Lin family naturally thought she was selfish and didn't treat them as a family, so of course they didn't treat her as a family. Her defenses are also getting stronger.
After so many months of hard work, the Lin family restaurant finally made a name for itself and became one of the best restaurants in town. The business was booming. Lin Ruoshan also met several bosses and children of rich families, and secretly sold some secretly brewed wine to save hundreds of taels. private money.
Just when she just felt some happiness, she suddenly heard that Xu Zifan was lifted up!
In August, Xu Zifan entered the examination room again, and in the expectation of his parents and wife, he passed the examination again, for Xie Yuan. Some of the students who were initially dissatisfied with him because of the prefect's appreciation had all accepted it. At the banquet held by the prefect, he was speechless when he saw that the prefect clearly preferred Xu Zifan.
In the past few months, whether it is a poetry meeting or a small gathering to write an essay, Xu Zifan's literary talent has been amazing and has never disappointed anyone. And he also has a lot of ideas about current affairs, and he is not the kind of nerd who studies hard. Even if the other students are dissatisfied and envious, they have to admit that he has real material.
Every festival, Xu Zifan brings some gifts to visit Mr. Liang, play chess and chat with him or have a drink. Mr. Liang was nearly fifty years old, and the two quickly became friends. Now the Xu family's backing in Anyang Mansion is stable, and there has never been any dissatisfaction in the past few months to make the Xu family unhappy.
The Xu family cloth shop has developed rapidly, and Lin Ruonan has become the well-known Xu family's proprietress. She is quick-witted, quick-witted, and listens to her words. The fabrics and clothes are never short of the customer's material. Lots of repeat customers.
By the time Xu Zifan was lifting it with Jie Yuan, Lin Ruonan happily announced that all the fabrics in the store would be 20% off, which attracted a large number of customers. But she was really happy, and from the bottom of her heart, she hoped to share this joy with everyone and celebrate Xu Zifan's mid-lifting together.
Some scholars from the town came to Fucheng for reference. They saw with their own eyes the booming business of Xujia’s cloth workshop. They also heard that Xu’s mother would make porridge and worship Buddha every month. The Xu family had an excellent reputation in Fucheng. He didn't pass the exam this time, but it was through conversations with other students that he learned how talented Xu Zifan was, and also how much the prefect valued Xu Zifan.
When the scholar returned to the town, he unexpectedly met Xu Zifan and Lin Ruonan outside the mansion. He hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands with a smile, "Brother Tai'an, long time no see."
Xu Zifan also bowed his hands in return, "Brother Jin Wen, are you okay?"
"Yes, little brother is all right. I have heard a lot of Tai'an brother's deeds in the past few days. I want to come to Tai'an brother since he arrived in the city, and his life is very good, which is really enviable."
"Everyone will take care of you everywhere. Fortunately, the family is all well here, safe and happy. That's enough." Xu Zifan looked at him with a burden and didn't take a ride, and said, "Brother Jinwen wants to go home? Why don't you come with us? Come along, my wife and I are going back to Linxi Village to visit grandpa."
"That's really great. Thank you, Brother Tai'an. I didn't pass the exam this time. I would like to take this opportunity to ask Brother Tai'an for advice. I also hope that Brother Tai'an can help me."
"Naturally, you and I ride together, and it's a pleasure to discuss all the way." Xu Zifan asked someone to arrange the carriage, Lin Ruonan rode alone in one with gifts, while he and Jin Wen rode in the carriage.
"Taian" is the word that Father Xu asked someone to help him find, which means safety and health. This is the most important thing for Father Xu, Mother Xu and Lin Ruonan, so he also used this word.
Xu Zifan and Jin Wen took several exams together, and they were considered acquaintances. Along the way, he gave him many questions without reservation, which benefited Jin Wen a lot. Haven't had a chance to ask more.
Because Xu Zifan sent Jin Wen home first, and got out of the car to say goodbye to him, the news of their husband and wife's return spread all of a sudden, and many people who heard about it went to the street to watch the excitement. He is different now. Master Juren, some people will never be seen in a lifetime, not to mention the Master Juren who went out from them.
The street was very lively, Xu Zifan got into Lin Ruonan's carriage, and after discussing it with Lin Ruonan, he lifted the curtain of the carriage, nodded and smiled at everyone in the carriage, and asked people to distribute some of the things they brought back to the roadside. child.
The ancients attached great importance to returning home. Xu Zifan and his carriage walked in front, and after a while they followed the whole street. Even the magistrate heard about it, and Lin Ruoshan naturally knew it.
She couldn't help but put on her hood and ran to the street to see it. Through the car window, she saw Xu Zifan's splendid appearance. He was even more handsome in his long gown with white brocade pattern. Sitting in the car, he seemed to have The majesty of an official. Next to him, Lin Ruonan had a ruddy face and a gentle smile. She was wearing a satin dress, ruby earrings, and two gold hairpins in her bun. She looked more noble than what Lin Ruoshan saw in her previous life. She seemed to be married Giving Xu Zifan a better life than her previous life.
why
Lin Ruoshan couldn't figure it out.
After she married Xu Zifan, she was a complete failure, and she was unlucky. Why was Lin Ruonan able to live so well when she married Xu Zifan? Is it really Lin Ruonan Wangfu? So she's a disaster star
Lin Ruoshan retreated subconsciously, and the secret joy of saving her private money and making connections disappeared without a trace after seeing these two people. Her hundred taels of silver are not worth Lin Ruonan's clothes, what is there to be happy about? She finds that she is always living in their shadow, and it seems that she will never come out...
