In fact, Tong Ruyan herself was not very clear about it. It was the servant who went with Tong Ruyu who reported back that Tong Ruyu started to prepare to sell threshers as soon as he arrived in the city.
However, when the machine was just put on the market and only a few were sold, a group of yamen runners rushed in and arrested the man and took him to jail, accusing him of stealing imperial blueprints.
After listening to the servant's story, Nan Nan frowned. The blueprint was clearly made by his mother, and as long as her mother agreed, it would be fine. When did it become the property of the court, and why did they arrest people so forcefully
"Sister Ruyan, please stop crying. I'll go tell my mother and go to the capital city right now to see what's going on."
When Tong Ruyan heard that Nan Nan was going in person, she felt a little relieved, thinking that they were officials after all, and the prefect would definitely give them some face.
"Okay, then I'll go with you." She was very worried about her brother, so she wanted to go with him so that she could be there to help when he needed her help.
Nan Nan didn't plan to bring a girl with him, and looked at Tong Ruyan: "Sister Yan, you should stay in the back house of the county government for the time being. I'll let Bei Bei and the others take you out to play. Leave Brother Tong's affairs to me, and there won't be any problems."
He waved his hand and asked Chuan Gu to call Bei Bei over: "Bei Bei, Sister Yan will stay at our house for a while, please help take care of her. I'm going to the capital."
Beibei blinked and said, "Okay. Sister Yan, please stay. I just found something fun to do recently. Let's play together."
Seeing Tong Ruyan's worried expression, Beibei knew that something must have happened. So he decided to let Tong Ruyan relax and took her away.
Nan Nan wanted to go to the capital city, but she couldn't just leave. She had to at least talk to Qian Jiujiu first: "Mom, I have something to discuss with you."
Qian Jiujiu listened to the tone and felt that it was a discussion but actually a notification: "But what happened? You look very serious."
Nan Nan recounted the whole story: "It seems a bit strange that the prefect would arrest people directly, so I plan to go and take a look myself. Brother Tong and I did this business together, so there's no reason for me to be responsible if something goes wrong."
After listening to Nan Nan's narration, Qian Jiujiu almost understood what happened. Let Nan Nan experience the sinisterness of others.
"Okay, go ahead. Bring two secret guards with you and be careful. When you get there, don't go directly to the government office. Walk around the streets instead."
Nan Nan was a little confused, but still nodded: "I see, thank you, mother."
Mu Yexiao walked in just in time to see Nan Nan walking out, and was a little confused: "Where is Nan Nan going?"
Qian Jiujiu laughed: "Some people are blinded by profit. Are you done with your work?"
The threshers have spread all over Xianyou Town, so they are naturally done with their work. Now everyone is busy with the autumn harvest and there is nothing else to do.
In the next period of time, they will be busy collecting taxes. He has seen that everyone's harvest this year is good, and after collecting taxes, everyone can have a good year.
Tong Ruyan actually didn't have the heart to play with Beibei and the others, after all, her eldest brother was still in prison: "Beibei, thank you, but I'm worried about my brother, so I don't have the heart to play."
Beibei blinked her eyes and said, "Not yet! I'm taking you to make new clothes. Don't worry, my brother can handle your brother's affairs. You have to trust my brother."
"Besides, nice clothes can also make people feel better after seeing them! If you like any of them, I will buy them for you. This is your only chance."
Without further ado, he dragged Tong Ruyan to Caiyifang. Fang Xiaoxi and Li Tong were still there! They excitedly made the clothes that Li Tong wanted and were trying them on.
When Beibei came, he saw Li Tong wearing clothes. The light yellow color really suited Li Tong.
It was obvious at first glance that this was something Fang Xiaoxi had just made. Beibei couldn't help but nod with satisfaction: "It's pretty good. Is it also on your drawing?"
Beibei and Fang Xiaoxi agreed that Fang Xiaoxi would create a blueprint book of her own, which could be released to others so that people who came to buy clothes could choose for themselves.
Of course, you can also choose to let Fang Xiaoxi design it individually. The independent style designed individually will not be included in the drawings, but the price of the individual design will be doubled many times.
"This is Sister Yan, you know her too, what kind of person do you think is suitable for her?"
Fang Xiaoxi could tell at a glance that Tong Ruyan was not in a very good mood, and looking at Beibei's expression, it seemed that she wanted to make her happy.
Smiling, he said, "What kind of clothes does Sister Yan like? Are there any clothes that you really like? You tell me and I will draw them."
Tong Ruyan looked at Fang Xiaoxi's serious expression and began to think about what kind of clothes she liked. For a moment, she forgot her worries.
Beibei breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, at least Tong Ruyan could be quiet for a while. If she kept worrying, she would get sick.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from downstairs, and it was a bit arrogant: "I'm here, why doesn't your shopkeeper come out to greet me?"
The shopkeeper had just come up with Beibei to look for Fang Xiaoxi. When he heard the arrogant voice, he knew it was Shi Feixian.
Beibei really didn't like Shi Feixian. She had never felt dislike towards someone the first time she saw him. But Shi Feixian did it. When she saw him, Beibei didn't like him.
"Go down quickly and get rid of that annoying guy. My Caiyifang doesn't do business with just anyone."
He is indeed a willful person, even in doing business. The shopkeeper is helpless, but since this is the boss's words, he must listen.
Heading downstairs, he looked at Shi Feixian and said, "It turns out that Miss Shi is here. She is really a distinguished guest. I wonder what kind of skirts Miss Shi likes. You can take a look at them."
Shi Feixian looked at the woman who spoke: "Who are you?"
The shopkeeper immediately said, "I am the shopkeeper of this store. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me, Miss Shi."
Sure enough, I should have listened to the host and asked him to leave. As expected, this Miss Shi was not someone who was easy to entertain.
Shi Feixian didn't know that the shopkeeper was making up stories about him. He just snorted, "So you are the shopkeeper. What were you busy with just now?"
The shopkeeper was speechless. Wasn't it just that he didn't come out to see her the first time? This person really thinks he is a big shot.
Before he could reply, he heard Shi Feixian continue to ask: "Were you entertaining other guests just now? Hmm? Who was it?"
Could it be that in this small town, there is a more noble young lady than her? Shi Feixian's aunt has already said that she will take her with her to the capital this time. Let her go to the capital to find a husband, and she will also be a noble person in the capital in the future.
So it was taken for granted that she was the most distinguished person in this small town. The shopkeeper was speechless when he saw Shi Feixian's aggressive look.
Tong Ruyan upstairs had just become interested and was talking seriously with Fang Xiaoxi, but she kept hearing the noise downstairs. Beibei couldn't stand it anymore and stood up.
"What's wrong with this shopkeeper? She just wanted to chase someone away, but she couldn't get rid of him after a long time. What's going on? I'll go and take a look."
Beibei went downstairs, and Mo Yunyao naturally followed. When the two of them went downstairs, Beibei's voice had already spread: "The shopkeeper was the one who received me just now, what's wrong? Do you have any objections? If you have any, just hold it in. I just came out to buy something. What are you arguing about? The whole world has to revolve around you."
"Isn't it just that the shopkeeper didn't come to the door to greet you? What? Knowing that you were coming, did he have to kowtow to you three times and nine times? Didn't he even consider whether you were qualified?"
After hearing these words, Shi Feixian's face turned red. His face was full of anger. Sure enough, the shopkeeper was receiving another guest just now, and it was none other than Beibei.
This short-sighted thing actually thought that he was not as good as Beibei! Ever since he first saw Beibei, Shi Feixian subconsciously felt that Beibei was very noble.
So I wanted to be friends with her, of course I just wanted to stand beside her and let Beibei set me off. But I didn't expect that I would fail the first time. Later, I had a big fight with Beibei and we couldn't be friends anymore.
Beibei didn't want to see Shi Feixian's face any more: "Boss, kick her out."
Shi Feixian was a little annoyed: "Miss Mu, isn't your behavior too much? This is a clothing store. If you can come, I can come too. Why do you let the shopkeeper kick me out?"
Beibei snorted coldly: "Boss, kick her out right now."
The shopkeeper also knew that his boss was really angry, and looked at Shi Feixian: "Miss Shi, please."
Shi Feixian didn't expect that the shopkeeper would actually drive her away: "What did you say? Are you really going to drive me away? You are just a shopkeeper, and you actually want to drive me away? Aren't you afraid that your boss will punish you?"
Beibei is his boss, and he knows how to follow his boss's orders, so how could he be afraid? He looked at Shi Feixian as if he were a clown: "Miss Shi, please."
Being driven away one after another, Shi Feixian also became angry and snorted: "Go if you want to. I will make you regret it."
After coming out of Caiyifang, Shi Feixian's face was very ugly: "Go and find out who the owner of Caiyifang is? Make sure she comes to me and kneels down to apologize."
Otherwise, she would lose face. After Beibei chased the people away, he snorted and turned to walk upstairs.
Li Tong looked at Bei Bei coming up, thinking that her clothes were also ready, so she decided not to continue disturbing Fang Xiaoxi and said goodbye.
Who would have thought that after he came out, he passed by a restaurant and was seen by Shi Feixian, who invited him in.
Shi Feixian has been in the limelight recently, and Li Tong really can't afford to offend her, so she can only follow him upstairs: "I wonder what Miss Shi wants me to do?"
