In the evening, Shuanzi came over and told Shen Ruolan that her father had already rented a house in the county, and he would stay there tonight and would not come back, so she didn't have to worry, and went to bed early at night, and asked him to send Dongzi to the city tomorrow morning. .
It just so happened that Shen Ruolan also wanted to go to the city to do some business, so she gave some instructions to the skinny girls, to the effect that she would not be at home tomorrow, let them have a good meal, and if she came back late at night or did not come back, let them Don't wait for her and don't rush.
Shouya and the others agreed, and told her to be careful on the road, go early and return early, and then went to bed.
At five o'clock the next day, Shuanzi came over, and Shen Ruolan got into the car with ten pots of jelly made. Now everyone in the village knew that her family was rich, and she didn't have to hide it anymore. He draped that mink fur cloak generously around his body to keep out the cold, so he wasn't afraid of being seen.
With a mink fur cloak to protect her body, she didn't suffer much from the cold along the way. At the end of the day, she rushed to the place where her father rented a house in the county seat.
Perhaps out of convenience, Shen Dejian rented the house in the center of the county seat. It was the backyard of a rouge shop, but it was not the main room, but the east wing. There were two small rooms, one as a bedroom and the other as a The kitchen looks a bit aggrieved, but there are ready-made pots and stoves inside, and there are a few pieces of furniture. You can move in with your bags, which is very convenient.
Shen Dejian brought his luggage yesterday, and bought firewood and rice at the market, and started the fire here last night.
When Shen Ruolan came over, he had already had breakfast and was sweeping the yard. Seeing his daughter coming, Shen Dejian was overjoyed, but complained, "It's so cold, what are you doing all this time?" , I’ve settled everything here, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Shen Ruolan smiled and said: "You misunderstood, I didn't come here because of you, I have something to do, so I came to see you."
Hearing this, Shen Dejian's face darkened, "You girl, can't you say a few nice words to coax your father?"
Shen Ruolan thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't have any important things. I can do those things anytime, or not. I still miss you, so I ran here against the wind and snow. The main purpose of this trip is to come to see you, and to do some things by the way!"
"Haha, this is more or less the same, this is my good girl!" Shen Dejian laughed happily.
Shen Ruolan also laughed, unknowingly, the relationship between the father and daughter became more and more harmonious and intimate...
"I brought ten pots of jelly this time, which is enough for you to sell for two days, so you don't have to run back and forth every day. I will go to the grocery store to buy more pots later, and try to send one back to sell enough for you." Three days or five days, it saves you the trouble of going back and forth."
While speaking, Shen Ruolan followed Shen Dejian into the house, looked carefully at the inner and outer rooms, and then sat back on the edge of the Kang.
"I think it will work." Shen Dejian poured her daughter a cup of tea, sat down and discussed, "However, I have a better way. I heard from the landlord that the west wing room is also rented out. The west wing room is also rented, so you can come here too, then we will make and sell here, so we don't have to go back and forth every day."
The monthly rent is much cheaper than the cost of a chartered car, and if you live here, you don’t need to take a four-hour car every day, which is convenient and cheap!
Shen Ruolan said: "Okay, then you just discuss it with the landlord. I'll let Shouya and the others move in to help you, but I won't come here. It's almost spring. I'm going to build a few greenhouses at home and grow some vegetables. Yes, before other people’s vegetables are planted, ours will be eaten, and if we can’t eat them, we can sell them for money. Rare things are more expensive. Vegetables in this season will definitely be more expensive than meat .”
"Great shed? What is a shed? What is a shed?"
Shen Dejian was dumbfounded when he heard it, he had never heard of the word 'big shed', but from his daughter's tone, it seemed that he could grow vegetables in it, and he could grow vegetables in advance, it sounded unbelievable .
Shen Ruolan briefly explained to her father, "The shed is a sealed shed made of tarpaulin. As long as you take proper heating measures, you can grow fruits and vegetables in it in advance. You can eat it yourself or sell it in the market. , There will definitely be a market for this rare and delicious thing.”
"Ah, then, how can it be planted?"
What the girl said seemed to be very powerful, Shen Dejian was also confused and dubious, although he didn't completely believe it, but he was not completely suspicious, he knew the girl's ability, maybe she could really succeed!
Shen Ruolan said confidently: "Don't worry, I never fight uncertain battles."
Seeing his daughter's confident look, Shen Dejian said, "That's fine, then you can do it, but since you don't come, we can't leave you alone at home. Now the whole village knows that our family is rich. If you were alone at home, wouldn’t dad regret it if someone was malicious? Just let Zhaodi and Lingdi come over, and Shouya and Daidi stay at home with you.”
Shen Ruolan shook her head, "No, Er Yong sent me his big dog before he left. That big dog is powerful, worse than wolves. With it, no one can enter our house. You just Don't worry. Besides, your daughter is not a vegetarian, just those rascals in our village, your daughter has not taken them seriously, if they dare to plot against me, I will kill them in minutes."
Shen Ruolan's physical fitness has fully recovered to what a fourteen-year-old girl should have. Although a fourteen-year-old girl doesn't have much strength, she can't hold her back because she has martial arts. Besides, she also has a toothpick and crossbow as a secret weapon for protection. Not to mention a few scoundrels from this village, even if all the scoundrels from ten miles and eight villages came, she could still handle it.
However, Shen Dejian was still worried, "No, at least I have to keep Shouya for you. Shouya is very strong. If something really happens, she can help you for a while. If you are alone At home, Dad doesn't worry about it..."
Shen Dejian insisted on this, but Shen Ruolan couldn't resist him, so she had no choice but to agree to keep Shouya, and the rest of them were sent to help her make crystal jelly, and she mentioned to him that the eldest brother would come to help.
Shen Dejian was very optimistic about Shen Fucun, his nephew. When he came back and was sick in bed, his elder nephew helped him a lot. Now that he heard that he was coming, he said happily, "That's just right. Let him help you when he comes. I look at the stalls in the market, and I deliver the goods myself, so I can be busy here when I come here."
Discuss
Shen Dejian was about to rush out to deliver the goods, Shen Ruolan came out with him, she hadn't had breakfast yet, it was almost ten o'clock, and she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.
"Father, I won't come back to eat at noon. What should you do? Just leave me alone. I will come back to cook in the evening. You remember to come back and eat." She planned to have breakfast and lunch together. Going to deliver the goods, if you can't eat together with her, just tell him, lest he worry about his lunch.
"Understood, be careful when you go alone, there are many thieves in this city, don't follow their ways." Shen Dejian instructed, and the father and father went separately.
Shen Ruolan went to eat some food first, and then went to find a shop selling oilcloths.
Nong'an County is a small county, and the demand for oilcloth in the county is really not much, so there is only one company that sells oilcloth, and it is still a workshop. A small shop of more than ten square meters is set up in front of the workshop, and the back is sold in the front.
After looking for it, the waiter saw that Shen Ruolan was wearing a sable fur cloak, and she looked like a rich man, so she came forward to greet her warmly, "Miss, do you want to buy oilcloth?"
Shen Ruolan nodded and said, "Take out the best and thickest oilcloth you have here, the one that has the effect of keeping warm."
Xiao Er said quickly: "Okay, just wait a moment."
After speaking, I ran to get the goods.
After a while, he ran over with a stack of thick oilcloths, and handed the oilcloths to Shen Ruolan, "Miss, please take a look!"
These oilcloths are thick oilcloths that Shen Ruolan asked for, there are black, indigo, and light brown...
Shen Ruolan held those oilcloths in her hands, looked at them several times, compared them, and said, "I want this kind, but I want white ones that can let in light. Do you have any?"
Xiao Er looked at the tarpaulin in Shen Ruolan's hand, grinned in embarrassment, made a pitiful expression, and said, "Girl, we buy tarpaulins here, either for carriages or as tarpaulin umbrellas. If you want to buy white ones, you have to make them fresh, unless you want a large quantity, otherwise, it's not worth it for us to do it once... "
Shen Ruolan said: "If I want five oilcloths that are 200 meters long and 30 meters wide, is it enough for you to do it once?"
"Huh? Enough, enough, enough."
Xiaoer was startled when he heard the quantity Shen Ruolan asked for. He had worked in this oilcloth shop for more than ten years, and it was the first time he saw someone asking for so much oilcloth. Usually, his customers would buy Buy a car for a few meters, or buy a few feet to make an oilcloth umbrella, and they are all sold for a few meters and feet. When Shen Ruolan suddenly heard that he wanted to order so many oilcloths, he was so shocked that he couldn't believe his ears.
"If it's done now, how long will it take to finish it?" Shen Ruolan is still in a hurry to plant.
At this moment, Xiao Er has recovered from the huge shock, and his mouth is unconsciously grinning to the base of his ears. Thinking about the commission earned from selling these oilcloths, his voice is like honey, sweet Tired: "I don't know when Miss is going to want it? If we do this, it will take a month at the earliest. I wonder if you are in a hurry, Miss?"
"One month..." Shen Ruolan thought for a while, "It's okay."
Now it is almost February. If it can be produced in March, there is still time to sow the seeds. The weather in the north is cold, and the cultivation will not start until May. That is to say, her vegetables can be much earlier than normal vegetable farmers. It's coming out this month!
More than a month is enough for her to earn a lot of money!
"Hey, miss, you want so many oilcloths, we will definitely do our best to help you finish it as soon as possible, but the deposit..." Xiaoer showed a bright smile, with a look of 'you understand' look.
"The deposit is fine."
Naturally, a deposit is required to place an order, but the price of the oilcloth hasn't been discussed yet. She bought a lot, so naturally she can't be as casual as buying a set of clothes or a chicken and duck, so she must bargain carefully.
Xiaoer is a part-time worker, and she doesn't have much right to lower the price for her, so she still hopes to have a face-to-face discussion with the shopkeeper.
"Is your shopkeeper or boss there? I want to talk to him."
"Oh, unfortunately, the shopkeeper has gone out to eat, why don't you wait for the little one for a while, if the little one knows where he eats, go and call him back for you?" Xiao Er earnestly suggested.
Shen Ruolan had other things to do, but she didn't have time to wait here, so she said, "No, I'll do other things first, and I'll come back after I'm done. I think your shopkeepers will have finished eating by then. I'm back too."
"Okay, girl, please go slowly." Xiaoer sent Shen Ruolan out with a bright face, watched her disappear before returning with a smile on her face...
After leaving the oilcloth workshop, Shen Ruolan went to Heji Cloth Village to make some quilts.
The Shouya sisters don’t have quilts to cover, the older sisters just covered her and her father’s old quilts last night, or two of them covered one, it’s not enough at all, she plans to order four sets of quilts, and then make a new set of clothes for herself— Make it out of that calico.
Although the piece of flowered cloth he gave had a rustic flavor, it was his intention anyway. If she kept the bottom of the box, it would be in vain for him to think about it. Anyway, she has been determined to be a farmer all her life. Girl, I have lived in this small mountain village all my life, and I don't mind whether it is temperamental or not, whether it is tacky or tacky, so I rushed to make it, and if he comes back one day, I will show him how to wear it, and he will be happy!
Seeing Shen Ruolan, the female shopkeeper of He Ji Cloth Store warmly welcomed Shen Ruolan out of the counter, and said with a smile, "Oh, I said how did I have a good dream yesterday, so it should be on the girl, come in quickly, let me touch it Good luck!"
As he spoke, he took Shen Ruolan's hand and sat down, poured tea for her himself, and said, "What do you want to buy today, Miss? It just so happened that I bought a batch of new goods yesterday. If Miss likes something, I'll sell it cheap for you."
Shen Ruolan smiled and said, "I'm going to make four sets of bedding and luggage, and four pillows. In addition, I have a piece of fabric. I want to trouble you to make a suit of clothes."
Shopkeeper He laughed and said: "The girl's fabric must be very good, can you show me a lot!"
The corner of Shen Ruolan's mouth twitched, gaining insight? She thinks too much!
However, she still took out the piece of fabric, put it in her hand, and said narrowly, "It's a gift from a friend. Look, you've learned a lot."
Shopkeeper He's eyelids twitched, he raised his head and said, "Young lady's friend is really funny!"
In a word, Shen Ruolan burst out laughing, Shopkeeper He also laughed, and said, "Young lady, do you really want to use this piece of cloth to make clothes? You're not here to make fun of me, are you?"
Shen Ruolan laughed, "I just want to use it to make a suit of clothes, and if there is any leftover fabric, I will make another pair of shoes!"
"Oh Well!"
Shopkeeper He also saw that Shen Ruolan was serious, so he took the measuring tape off his neck and measured her.
The last time I measured her to make clothes, she was still as thin as a monkey. In just a few months, she has gained dozens of pounds. She looks no different from a normal girl, and she has also grown taller. Her legs are straightened up, she is completely different from the previous one, as if she can hold the previous one down.
"The measurement is over!"
Shopkeeper He put away the ruler and hung it back around his neck: "I will try my best to make the girl look better, but the girl also knows that this fabric... well, anyway, the girl only wears it as a piece of clothing. Well, don’t expect it to look good or dress up.”
Shen Ruolan thought to herself, she would be thankful if it didn't lower her appearance and temperament, how could she expect it to be able to dress up people
The quilts and quilts made for the thin girls are all made of good cotton, and the quilts are also stored in cotton. It cost a total of two or four cents and four cents. It is the same as last time. The shopkeeper is responsible for helping her make the quilt and clothes for free, and pick them up in ten days.
*****
At this time, the capital
In the bustling Sitong Street, the Shangyuan Festival has passed, and Sitong Street is still full of people and noisy. The Shangyuan Lantern Festival only lasts for one day, but the Beijing Lantern Festival lasts for three days, starting from the 15th day until the 17th day. Eighteen is the end.
The capital is a place with a prosperous population, with a population of hundreds of thousands. All kinds of dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and gentry, and the three religions and nine streams all gather here. Whenever there is a festive season, the government is extremely busy, patrolling, monitoring, and all kinds of precautions. Someone took advantage of the chaos to make trouble at the feet of the emperor.
At this moment, Liu Ben, the newly appointed Governor of Yingtian Mansion, is sitting in an official sedan chair, carried by the bearer, and the yamen servant is in front of him, beating the gong to open the way, and patrolling the Sitong Street.
Seeing that Mr. Fu Yin was on patrol, all the people gave way one after another, and hid on both sides of the road to wait and see. In the bustling street, they suddenly avoided a road.
Liu Bennai came from a poor family, passed the imperial examination, was upright, upright and upright, and was trusted by the Holy Majesty. At this moment, sitting in the sedan chair, he saw the yamen servants in front of him beating the gong and beating the gong, causing the people to panic and flee, and he felt a little displeased.
Just as she was about to speak to order to stop it, suddenly an old woman in ragged clothes and white hair rushed over, shouting grievances in her mouth, and stopped the sedan chair and knelt down in front of her with a 'plop'.
"My lord, I am wronged—"
The old woman knelt on the ground desolately, held the pleading paper high, and shouted: "My lord, I have a grievance against the sky, I beg your lord to make the decision!"
The yamen servant who opened the way saw someone blocking the sedan chair to appeal for grievances, and was about to scold and drive them away, but the adult in the sedan chair said, "Who is kneeling down? What wrong do you have?"
The old woman was overjoyed when she saw Fu Yin's words, and kowtowed: "Master, I am not complaining for myself, but for my young lady. My young lady is the granddaughter of Mr. Mu Qishan of Nanshan Academy back then. The son-in-law of the Eldest Princess took advantage of his power and threatened her, making my young lady his wife. Later, Eldest Princess Rong Jia found out that she wanted to kill my young lady. The Eldest Princess still refused to let her go, after several inquiries, she finally captured my young lady and beat her half to death to Shen Tang..."
"The old man is the nurse of the young lady. She has returned to her hometown since the Mu family's misfortune. Later, when she returned to Beijing to visit the young lady, she was shocked by the sad news. The old lady was burnt to death, heartbroken, and always wanted to avenge the wronged young lady of my family revenge!
"It's just that the Eldest Princess is a relative of the emperor, and the idle officials dare not accept the old man's pleadings. After waiting for several years, the old man finally waited for you."
"It is said in the world that you are upright and upright, stern and unselfish, never favoritism or fraud, and fear power ministers, and you are the emperor's trusted humerus minister. You have won the emperor's trust, and I believe that you will definitely handle it impartially, punish the murderer severely, and avenge my young lady! "
After all, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed 'bang bang bang', his head was smashed, and the blood flowed all over the ground...
The people onlookers talked and sighed endlessly, they were moved by the old woman's sincerity towards the master, and hated the domineering and shameless of Princess Rongjia and his wife!
When Liu Ben heard that she was suing Princess Rongjia and his wife, he couldn't help but gasped.
I just heard the internal news this morning that Prince Zhan personally chose Princess An'an, the eldest daughter of Princess Rongjia, as the future Princess Zhan. If this happened at this time, I'm afraid the marriage would fall through...
At this moment, if a tactful official handles this matter, he will definitely stabilize the old woman at this moment, try to hide the matter, and then secretly inform the eldest princess Rongjia and his wife, in order to save face.
However, Liu Ben is different from them. He is upright and upright, and he is the most unaccustomed to bullying others in his life. Although Princess Rongjia is not easy to mess with, he still has no fear. Tell her to wait patiently, wait for him to report to the emperor, and find out the matter before making sense.
The old woman was grateful to Dade, and was led by the yamen...
This incident happened in a busy city, and countless people witnessed it with their own eyes.
Soon, Princess Rongjia and his wife forcibly robbed the women and threatened them, and the news of their death due to jealousy spread throughout the entire capital city, and naturally spread to the residence of Princess Rongjia. .
"Dangling—"
The exquisite teacup from the official kiln was smashed to the ground and shattered in an instant, and the white jade-like porcelain splashed like water, almost splashing on the face of the woman kneeling on the ground.
The mother-in-law didn't dare to hide, and she didn't dare to say a word. After the report was over, she knelt there with her head drooped, like a stone sculpture that could breathe.
"Bastard—damn—"
Eldest Princess Rongjia was hysterical with anger, smashing and cursing, "Go, let me find out, where is the old man who dared to sue me? Miss go...."
"yes!"
The mother-in-law who was kneeling on the ground got up cautiously, and was about to exit with her head down.
A sweet and soft voice suddenly came, "Wait a minute!"
The door curtain was lifted, and Princess An'an came, surrounded by everyone. The moment she entered the door, her beautiful face eclipsed the splendor of the hall, as if her light covered all the prosperity and magnificence.
She was wearing a lavender embroidered peony pattern skirt and an ivory long skirt. On her head, a magnolia flower hairpin carved from white jade held three thousand blue silks. Her makeup was light and elegant, but it still couldn't conceal her alluring beauty and elegant charm. .
"Mother!"
An An walked up to the eldest princess of Rongjia, Fu lowered her body, her voice was soft, like a swallow's voice, and she was mellow, "Mother, please calm down!"
"Calm your anger, how do you let Bengong calm your anger?"
Princess Rongjia was still furious, "The day after tomorrow, the queen mother will formally marry you to Lao Qi. Now that something like this has happened suddenly, what will the queen mother think of me, and how will Lao Qi think of you? No, absolutely not. Let that old man live, if your marriage is ruined by her, even if you tear her to pieces, it will not be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart."
Princess An'an got up and gently rubbed Princess Rongjia's chest to help her calm down, still with a soft-spoken look: "Mother, don't be angry, think about it, Master Liu has been in office for more than a day, why? The old woman didn't come sooner or later, why would she come to complain at this time? Besides, the incident in the father's outer room didn't happen recently. It happened more than ten years ago, how could it be suddenly revealed? There are so many strange things, didn't mother find out?"
After her daughter mentioned this, Princess Rongjia immediately felt that something was wrong, and said suspiciously: "An'an, you mean—someone is deliberately trying to harm us?"
Princess An'an nodded slightly, with a gloomy look on her face: "It's not about us, it's about the child!"
"Harming you? This matter between me and your father has nothing to do with you? How can it harm you?"
An An held her hand, sat on the Babu bed, and said slowly: "Once this matter is found out, although the emperor will not punish you and father, he will definitely dislike you two. Your reputation will plummet, your reputation will be ruined, and if your reputation is ruined, your children will also be looked down upon by others!"
"The empress dowager is going to marry her daughter the day after tomorrow. Do you think that if that matter gets out of hand, will the empress dowager allow King Zhan to marry his daughter? Daughter, who does the mother think he will marry?"
"Then... you mean... Chun Xi did it?"
Princess Rongjia was shocked, and immediately went up against the case, furious: "Damn little slut, she is just an orphan of a short-lived ghost, and it is dishonorable to make a county head under the honor of the empress dowager." , with her appearance, that kind of background, dare to portray the position of Princess Zhan? It's a daydream, a toad wants to eat swan meat... "
