Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

"Let's go to Xinyuan Restaurant to open a few rooms first. Let's go to the county office later. I want to go shopping first and see if I can sell the handbag made by my aunt."

Once they have negotiated with the county master, they must go to see the land measurement together. I am afraid that there will be no chance to sell handbags at that time. Of course, the premise is that they can meet the county master smoothly.

"Well, I also want to take the children to see around, but let's find a small inn."

Xinyuan is too tall, so farmers like them can't afford it.

"Hehe... Okay, Brother Han, I know what you're worrying about. We are an important supplier of Xinyuan. You don't need to spend money to live with them. You can just follow me. I have everything, don't be afraid."

He turned his head and gave them a small smile. While speaking, they had already crossed the street and came to the most prosperous part of the county. The three-story building, which was at least twice the size of Xinyuan Restaurant in Datong Town, occupied several streets. The mouth, gorgeous and luxurious architectural style, attracted the attention of everyone who came and went almost at a glance, Ling Jingxuan laughed, couldn't help thinking of the demon man Zeng Shaoqing, it really seemed like his style, a restaurant in a county town, as for the decoration Does it have to be like a five-star restaurant?

Apart from being bigger and more luxurious than Datong Town, the Xinyuan Restaurant in this county is no different. Perhaps this specification is also typical of this era. New clothes, but except for a few small buns whose clothes are made of silk and brocade, the rest are basically cotton, which inevitably looks a little sour, especially in a place like Xinyuan.

"Do you need any of the guest officers?"

In the early morning, Xinyuan had just opened, and there were not many people, but almost everyone's eyes were focused on them, and everyone had more or less contempt in their eyes. The shop assistant who greeted them seemed enthusiastic, but Instead of taking them to their seats, he nodded and stood in front of them, Ling Jingxuan glanced at him lightly, and pushed him away.

"Wait? Guest officer?

"Um?"

He obviously didn't expect him to be so aggressive. After a brief stunned moment, the shop assistant tried to catch up to stop them, but Yan Chengrui's stern look made him freeze on the spot, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

"Does the guest officer want to hit the tip or stay at the hotel?"

All the things happened in a matter of minutes. The shopkeeper who just came out from the back looked at the group of people standing in front of the counter in surprise. Compared with the snobbish eyes of the second shopkeeper, he looked in his forties, but the jīnggān thin shopkeeper had There are too many winks, not to mention other things, although the leader Yan Shengrui Ling Jingxuan wears cotton clothes, his body is not ordinary people, especially Yan Shengrui, that kind of innate dignity is no longer concealed, and he surrounds him unscrupulously. .

"Is it Manager Wang?"

Not taking the shop assistant's rudeness to heart at all, Ling Jingxuan said with a smile, when he decided to come to the county seat, he had already inquired about the situation here with shopkeeper Zhang.

"Yes, I am the shopkeeper Wang of Xinyuan Restaurant, objectively?"

It's not surprising to know who he is, but the other party looks like an unfamiliar face, shopkeeper Wang can't help but think a little, Ling Jingxuan quickly solves his doubts: "I heard that shopkeeper Wang can go crazy and beat up the restaurant in the county town. My name is Ling Jingxuan and I come from Lingjia Village, Datong Town."

"It turns out that it is the official Ling. I really don't know Mount Tai. Hurry up, the official Ling is invited upstairs."

After sweeping away the previous entertainment-style courtesy, when he heard his name, the shopkeeper Wang walked out from behind the counter enthusiastically. Although they had never met, the shopkeepers of Xinyuan Restaurant in the entire Cangzhou area did not know him. But one of their biggest suppliers, the wine that Liu Ye took away last time, others didn't know he didn't know, it was also brewed by him, and he even gave Lao Zhang a jar, but he was envious of him. However, the stingy old Zhang is reluctant to let him taste it, so far he has not even smelled the wine.

"Treasurer Wang is very polite, please!"

It seems that Zeng Shaoqing's brand is no longer in use. Ling Jingxuan turned around and threw a smile to the others, and led the shopkeeper Wang to the third floor, the most luxurious. Everyone else couldn't help being nervous, but the shop assistant who stopped them at the beginning was as stupid as the customers in the shop when the shopkeeper Wang was uncharacteristically enthusiastic. Who is the person, and why is the shopkeeper Wang so enthusiastic? You know, even if the county magistrate came, he had never greeted him so warmly.

"Why did Daguan Ling arrive at the county seat? Don't you send someone to notify me first, so I can arrange a carriage to pick you up."

Taking them into a gorgeous and spacious private room on the third floor, shopkeeper Wang greeted them familiarly, Ling Jingxuan pretended to be shy and gave Ling Jingpeng a look, only to see him take out a jar from the basket behind him. The prepared wine, Mr. Wang's eyes lit up. He had never smelled the wine, but he had seen the outer packaging. He didn't expect that he still had it in his hand. For this reason, he couldn't help but look at Ling Jingxuan a little more. , One hundred taels of wine per jar, he was willing to keep some, which is enough to prove that he is not just an ordinary farmer.

"There is no decent gift for the first meeting. This is the wine I brewed myself. I hope the shopkeeper Wang will not dislike it."

In the blink of an eye, Ling Jingxuan took the wine from his younger brother and handed it to him. This time he brought two jars of wine, one for shopkeeper Wang, and one for the county magistrate. Of course, he It's not that it was given to them for nothing. In the future, what they will give him back is probably worth far more than a jar of wine.

"It's too expensive

It's heavy? "

Shopkeeper Wang widened his eyes in shock, and his hand that pointed at the wine jar could not help but tremble. He really never dreamed that this wine was actually given to him.

"Hehe... What is precious or not, we country people don't have any other good things, it's good that shopkeeper Wang doesn't dislike it."

With that said, Ling Jingxuan shoved the wine jar into his arms, as if the wine was not a hundred taels per jar, but a stack of papyrus. Others, including Ling Jingpeng, did not know the specific value of the wine. Otherwise, they may not be able to keep calm.

"Okay, okay, then I'm welcome. Is there something wrong with Ling Daguan's visit to the county this time?"

With a smirk, he hugged the coveted wine tightly. Shopkeeper Wang sat down opposite them. The private room was very large. The children had already gone to explore in the cubicle, and the adults who stayed here were all adults.

"It's something, I might need the help of shopkeeper Wang. I wonder if shopkeeper Wang knows where the largest embroidery shop in the county is? To be honest, my aunt has made some clever things, and I want to take it to the shopkeeper there to see. , in exchange for two dollars to subsidize the family."

Since everyone took the initiative to ask, Ling Jingxuan was not polite to him.

"Embroidery shop? Senior officials may wish to go to Baiyun Pavilion to have a look. There are some women's things sold there, and it is also the property of our sixth master, but the things there are not very luxurious and not for sale. If you have confidence in your stuff, you can try it.”

"Baiyun Pavilion?"

Hearing this name, the first reaction was not Ling Jingxuan, but Yan Shengrui who was sitting next to him. Ling Jingxuan glanced at him indifferently. Could this Baiyun Pavilion be his property?

"Well, Baiyun Pavilion has branches in almost every county in Cangyun Erzhou. In other areas, only the state capital has branches. Although the scale is not comparable to Xinyuan, its annual profit is not lower than Xinyuan. Women's money is always It's better than others."

Not taking his abnormality to heart, shopkeeper Wang further explained that it is always the same owner, and he still knows a little bit about each other's affairs.

"In this way, your sixth master really deserves to be the first wealthy businessman in the Qing Dynasty."

The corners of his lips tickled lightly, Ling Jingxuan's eyes were full of meaning. According to the time, Zeng Shaoqing should have received a letter at this time that he wanted to get a share of Xinyuan Restaurant, right?

"No, look at me, I was just talking, and I forgot to let someone bring snacks to eat. The Ling Daguan people wait for a while, I will come when I go."

Feeling that he seemed to be talking too much, Shopkeeper Wang made an excuse to stand up. Ling Jingxuan was not stupid, he said with a smile, "You're welcome, Shopkeeper Wang, we will greet ourselves, you should go and do your job."

"Master Ling, do you need me to send someone to inform the shopkeeper of Baiyun Pavilion?"

Before leaving, the shopkeeper Wang, who was holding the wine, asked in a condensed voice, "Is it soft? He took the wine worth 100 taels, and naturally he has to do what he needs to do."

"No, I'll just go by myself. Thank you, Shopkeeper Wang."

"Officer Ling is polite."

After speaking, Shopkeeper Wang turned around and left. After a while, the shop assistant brought them tea and a few plates of delicious snacks. Ling Jingxuan didn't show any kindness to them, but accepted them with a smile.
