Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chen Afu thought for a long time and still felt that he had to be rational. The class hierarchy in ancient times was strict. Even if Chu Lingxuan really liked her at the moment, there were too many external forces preventing him from marrying her. For example, pressure from elders, marriage for the future of the family, strong pressure from public opinion, etc. What's more, he looks strong at first glance, and he comes from time travel. No matter how careful he is, many of his perceptions and practices will not be as "virtuous and virtuous" as those of native women. If two strong people get along for a long time, conflicts will easily arise...

Now she is a female household, has a son, and can make money. She can decide what kind of life she wants to live. She couldn't foolishly throw away a good situation to win the unknown emotion.

However, in the future, we must pay more attention when getting along with Chu Lingxuan. We must maintain a normal superior-subordinate relationship while not completely irritating him... Thinking about it in the middle of the night, I gradually fell asleep.

The next day, with dark circles under her eyes, she said goodbye to Dabao and welcomed little girl Chu who went to full day care kindergarten.

The first thing Miss Chu said when she came over was, "Auntie, please take me to see my grandma if you have nothing to do. I miss her too."

Chen Afu smiled and nodded. She also missed that gentle woman. He said, "Okay, I'll take you there after Auntie gives Abbot Chen the plain clothes to make."

As the two of them talked, when they saw Aunt Zeng who was going to the county town to buy cloth for plain clothes, Chen Afu thought of little girl Yang again. She had asked him to pick her up in the county town.

Then he stopped Aunt Zeng and said, "I'll go to the county town with you, and by the way, I'll go to the Yang Mansion to see Sister Qian."

When Chu Hanyan heard that her aunt was going to see Sister Qian, she also made a fuss about going.

Chen Afu was very happy. The little girl took the initiative to ask to be a guest, which was a big improvement. He nodded in agreement and asked Luo Mei to go to Tangyuan to talk to Manager Luo, and send a few more guards to follow.

When Manager Luo heard about it, he was also happy for his sister's improvement, so he came with ten nursing homes and two carriages.

Chen Afu took the little girl, Mother Song, and Luo Mei into a carriage. Aunt Zeng and Xia Yue took a few boxes of homemade snacks into another carriage. Manager Luo personally drove Chen Afu's carriage. We went to Sanqing County with a large number of guards on horseback.

On the way, Manager Luo asked Chen Afuxin about the business he opened in Dingzhou Prefecture. He also said that his uncle told him not to ask for the 20% shares for free, and would pay 600 taels of silver to buy shares.

Half a month ago, Chen Afu sent Zeng Shuang to Dingzhou Prefecture to prepare to open a business there. The name of the trading company is Fuyunlai Trading Company. From now on, it will mainly deal in its own watermelons, grain and other crops, as well as all profitable businesses.

In order for the Chu family to protect the business, she told Manager Luo that she wanted to give 20% of Tangyuan's shares and 10% to Manager Luo's family. I still thought that Chu Lingxuan might not like such a small shop. If he doesn't want it, give Guanshi Luo 20% of his shares.

Manager Luo laughed at that time and said, "I will take over the 20% share on behalf of Tangyuan. Miss Chen is smart and the business she opens will definitely make money. I will report this matter to my uncle when he comes back. But I am a servant of Tangyuan." , how can I buy shares with my master, I don’t want it anymore.”

Chen Afu said that the gift of Tangyuan shares was a polite word, and she did not want to have too much interaction with Chu Lingxuan. What I really want to give away is Guanshi Luo. With him, no one else dares to cause trouble to the trading house. But she didn't expect Manager Luo to answer like this, so she had no choice but to agree.

Today, she heard that Chu Lingxuan wanted to give him six hundred taels of silver. She said humbly, "Six hundred taels of silver is too much for such a small shop. I can't accept it."

She knew in her heart that her business was small now, but it would definitely grow bigger in the future. Six hundred taels of silver for 20% of the shares was not a lot. But with the Chu family's golden name, she still took advantage.

Manager Luo smiled and said, "My uncle and I both trust Miss Chen. The firm will definitely do better and better in the future, and our Tangyuan will not suffer any losses."

When I arrived at the county town, I first went to the cloth store and bought two pieces of fine cloth suitable for making plain clothes, and then bought a few pieces of silk and fine cloth for making clothes at home. It was already noon.

The group went to a restaurant for lunch again. The restaurant's plaque reads "Hao Lai Lai" in big characters. Chen Afu always feels that this place is very familiar.

Shopkeeper Luo smiled and said, "Miss Chen, didn't you realize that this is the original Xile Restaurant?"

Chen Afu suddenly realized and laughed.

She thought about the last time she came here as a seller, and she had to wear a bamboo hat to cover her face for fear of being tricked by bad people. But now he was being shouted at and surrounded by bodyguards and servants, so that the people on the side were scared to avoid him. Taking advantage of Miss Chu, I became a member of the privileged class.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I met a dozen powerful men, one of whom was pushing a young man.

This young man is twenty-three or four years old, handsome and handsome, and wrapped in rich clothes. It's a pity that he is lame and sitting in a cart.

Chen Afu had a gut feeling that these people were not something he or even Tangyuan could afford to offend, so he quickly looked away. However, he unconsciously glanced at the young man one more time. Because he always had a feeling of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he had clearly never seen it before.

Even if she only took one more look, there was only a trace of unknown emotion on her face, and it seemed that several big men saw her and glared at her, making her quickly lower her head in fear. He pulled Chu Hanyan's little hand tighter, for fear that the little girl would collide with those people.

Manager Luo was stunned when he saw the young master, and hurried over and bowed, "Young man, I have met Mr. Jiu... Mr. Jiu."

The ninth master nodded, looked past Manager Luo and glanced at the people behind him, and finally fixed his eyes on Chen Afu and Chu Hanyan.

He asked, "That little girl is Mr. Chu's daughter, right? She does look exactly like Mr. Chu." His voice was clear and cold, like the clear spring on the top of the mountain.

Manager Luo bowed and said, "Yes, she is my sister, her maiden name is Hanyan." He turned around and said, "Miss, come quickly and pay homage to Jiu...Jiuye." He knew that the young master was afraid of meeting strangers, but Master Jiu had already said that, so he had to bite the bullet and let the young master go over to see him.

Chu Hanyan was scared and immediately hugged Chen Afu's waist and buried her head in Chen Afu's waist, not daring to come forward. Chen Afu heard that he actually asked a girl from the Hou Mansion to visit him, and guessed that the Ninth Master was either a relative of the emperor or a high-ranking nobleman. Then she gently touched the little girl's head and whispered, "Don't be afraid, sister..." She also wanted to persuade the little girl to go to the ceremony, but the little girl's appearance made her speechless.

Manager Luo bowed again and said, "Jiu Master, please don't blame me. My sister is a bit aloof."

Master Jiu did not blame her. He looked at Chu Hanyan with kind eyes and said, "Miss Chu is very pleasant." After saying that, he took off a string of jasper beads from his wrist and asked someone to hand it to the little girl. The jade string was wrapped twice around his wrist. It was green and transparent, and it was extraordinary at first glance.
