Jiang Yu smiled, turned around, and looked in the direction of Shen Xining. His tone was calm and his courtesy was considerate.
"Miss Shen, my name is Jiang Yu, and I am the son of the head of the Jiang family. My father has to go to the farm below for something. As for today's matter, even if I come here and convey it to my father, it is the same."
Shen Xining had a silk scarf on her face. She did not get out of the car, but just shouted outside.
"In that case, Haruyuki, bring the person to the restaurant and we will discuss in detail."
But when they arrived at the restaurant, Shen Xining still had the scarf on her face. Jiang Yu didn't force her to do so. He was not even interested in whether Shen Xining really had skin ulcers on her face. He took out an ointment from the medicine box he carried with him and pushed it in front of Shen Xining.
"This is the Jade Skin Cream developed by the Jiang family. The production of this cream is very small because the raw materials are very scarce. It is now sold for ten thousand taels of silver in the market. If you don't mind, you may try it. It is good for your skin."
Shen Xining did not accept the ointment. She looked at the ointment with a faint expression, but her words were vague.
"You are so sure, aren't you afraid that after I use this ointment, the scars on my face will become more obvious, so that I can blame the Jiang family?"
Jiang Yu smiled.
"Cousin, you are not here for this ointment, right? The Jiang family has been doing this ointment business for many years. They not only do business in curing diseases and saving lives, but also do business in beautifying and nourishing the skin. We have never heard of skin ulcers."
"Is this why you concluded that I didn't come here for this ointment? That's a bit too arbitrary."
Jiang Yu looked at Shen Xining with a firm gaze but a gentle tone.
"My cousin deliberately chose to come to complain in the evening when there were few people around and to ask about the ointment. This shows that although she was looking for trouble, she was still thinking about the interests of the Jiang family. My cousin came to the Jiang family in the afternoon, but was rejected by the Jiang family's housekeeper. I think my cousin must have something to discuss. You might as well speak frankly."
He is a smart man.
He knows when to advance and when to retreat, and is tactful in what he says and does. If he were in the court, he would definitely be a good official.
Shen Xining raised his eyebrows.
"I came here this time to reminisce about the past and to find out whether my mother's posthumous works are still preserved. I just wonder, even though we haven't been together for so many years, the Jiang family won't be so hostile to me, right?"
Jiang Yu didn't say it directly, he just spoke.
"In that case, please come back with me, cousin. Before coming here, I have already asked the servants to prepare a good room for you to live in. Tomorrow I will sort out my aunt's posthumous works and give them to you. If you are interested, you may take me out for a walk tomorrow."
Shen Xining didn't expect things to go so smoothly. However, when she stepped into the Jiang family's door, the old man of the Jiang family didn't even come out to greet her. It seemed that the grudge between the two families must have been very deep.
The next day.
When Shen Xining got up, Jiang Yu was already sitting in front of her door, drinking tea and reading medical books. He seemed to be a very self-disciplined person.
Chun Xing looked at Jiang Yu with a little more appreciation in his eyes.
Jiang Yu watched them get up and raise his hands, still looking gentle and elegant.
"My cousin is already up. You can go and dress up. We can go to the farm where my father went yesterday."
Shen Xining went to the farm with Jiang Yu. The farm was indeed a good one. It was obvious that someone had taken good care of it. The herbs in it grew very well, and there was a fragrance in the air that was so refreshing that it made people feel much better.
Jiang Yu did not laugh at Shen Xining's appearance, but introduced him patiently.
"This is a tranquilizing herb. After smelling it, it can calm people's minds. If my cousin likes it, you can bring some more to her when she returns to Kyoto."
Just as Shen Xining was about to say something, there was a commotion coming from the gate of Zhuangzi.
"My Lords, what are you doing? Aren't you making things difficult for us? We pay our dues on time every month. When have we ever missed a payment as you are talking about?"
The officer threw the list in his hand to the ground, looked at the servant, and even put the knife directly on the servant's neck with a hint of threat.
"What do you mean by that? Did we wrong you? Do we, the government, have a problem with you? You forgot to pay the money. If you pay it back now, everything will be fine. If you don't, your farm will be privately owned."
The servant fell to his knees with a thud, and Jiang Yu's voice came.
"I don't know what the officer is doing, but he is so angry. Some of his subordinates are not very sensible. Please don't take it too seriously. Please be magnanimous and just make up the money. Come on, kick this ignorant servant out. My Jiang family cannot keep such an ignorant servant."
The servant knelt on the ground and cried miserably.
"Please spare my life, young master! There is definitely something wrong with this account book. The official came to collect silver the day before yesterday, and today he came again, and the silver he collected has exceeded the money he collected the day before. If this continues, I'm afraid that all the money of the Jiang family will be confiscated."
"Nonsense! Can this officer lie? I think you probably embezzled the money! Someone..."
Jiang Yu is such an unreasonable person, is he really a nerd
Shen Xining frowned, raised his hand to take the bill from Jiang Yu's hand, took a quick look at it, and retorted.
"This bill is indeed wrong. The laws of this dynasty stipulate that the property to be paid should be commensurate with the number of acres of the farm and the amount of profit. The farm grows herbs, which are precious but do not make much money. The amount of silver collected far exceeds the amount that should be paid. It is really wrong."
The officer widened his eyes, and Jiang Yu suddenly saluted.
"In that case, please ask my cousin to go with the official and seek justice for our Jiang family in court."
Shen Xining smiled. He was afraid that Jiang Yu had been planning this since they met yesterday. Shen Xining just wanted to take this opportunity to find out why the Jiang family was so xenophobic and unwilling to get close to Shen Xining.
Although the two families are estranged, they are in-laws after all. Broken bones are still connected by flesh. The estrangement of the Jiang family must be more than it seems on the surface.
At this time, Xie Zhaoan happened to come to this land. Listening to the report from the spy, he pulled his lips, but it was clearly not a smile.
"Shen Xining was actually willing to join the game. She actually praised Jiang Yu's behavior more. Why is it that when I set up the game, all I got was her abuse and dissatisfaction?"
