Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Xun Jinyuan came in and greeted each other.

Before he could sit still, Xun Jinyuan said: "You came just in time! Otherwise, I will send someone to pick you up! I heard that you have completely severed your relationship with the three children left by your former husband's family? Even The dividends have been cut off? What's going on?"

When Xu Shi heard this, she was stunned and looked at Shen Jiayan.

Shen Jiayan hurriedly said: "It's not that you deliberately hide it from brother-in-law and sister-in-law, it's just that it's just a small matter. I planned to finish talking about the business and just tell you when I have time, but I don't know to make you worry."

Xu hurriedly asked: "What's going on? But what's wrong there? Or did they do something too much?"

In Xu's eyes, Shen Jiayan naturally had everything in order, and they all separated from Mu Pojun. The three brothers and sisters were not Shen Jiayan's children, and just for the love of those years, he gave them the dividends of the sugar factory. It's really benevolent.

For Shen Jiayan to break with those three children, it must be something wrong with the Mu family and the three children.

Shen Jiayan only said that Mu Pojun wanted to reunite with him, but he was unwilling.

The three children also wanted to reconcile with Mu Pojun by themselves, but they were unwilling, the conversation collapsed, and they simply cut off their thoughts completely.

When Mrs. Xu heard this, anger appeared on her face, "These three children are still facing their own father! No matter how good you are as a stepmother, your elbow is still turned inward at the critical moment! It's fine if you break it!" , so as not to be unclear about anything in the future!"

Xun Jinyuan didn't believe it, and looked at Shen Jiayan with a half-smile: "How did I hear that the three brothers from the Mu family returned to Dongguang Village, but they also severed ties with the Mu family! They said that Mu Pojun was not their real father, and their biological parents were different. There is someone there. Now it is time to recognize the ancestor and return to the clan. Not only has the relationship with the Mu family been severed, but all the fields in Dongguang Village under his name have also been returned. With this posture, it is likely that he will not return to Dongguang Village. I will never recognize these old acquaintances again—”

Shen Jiayan's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect Xun Jinyuan to even know this.

Thinking about it, she must have people left by Xun Jinyuan by her side.

When this incident happened and she was involved, those people must investigate clearly and report to Xun Jinyuan.

But there was a look of surprise and embarrassment on his face, and he sighed: "So Yibro, you already know! I only found out about this later, so I was determined to separate! But after all, I will take care of the three children." After a few years, if it is really publicized, there are so many sharp-tongued people in the world who would gossip. The three children are still young, and they have listened to too many gossips. gone?"

"So I didn't tell anyone! Anyway, it's none of my business if the Mu family loves it! I didn't expect that I would hide it for them, but they would spread it out by themselves! I want to come to Ruyi to talk about it, Probably because they want to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, that's why they publicize so much, because they are afraid that everyone will think that they have severed ties with the second wife of the Mu family, and their reputation will be hindered!"

"This is also common sense! At the beginning, the second room was not good to the three brothers and sisters. Now that they can recognize their ancestors, who would want to have another blood-sucking relative for nothing? After all, I am still a child. If I were me, I might ask the second room and the Mu family to ask for it." What about those family properties back then!"

As soon as Mrs. Xu heard that there was another story here, she hurriedly asked.

Only then did Shen Jiayan reveal that the family business that the Mu family had set up in Changyang County was said to have been given by the biological parents of the three siblings of the Mu family. However, because the news of Mu Pojun's death came back, the three siblings were kicked out, and the family business was destroyed. He was completely defeated by the second room.

When Xu heard this, she also nodded and said, "No, that's not a small amount, it's a few thousand taels anyway! How many people can't earn this in their lifetime! Who can swallow this breath?"

On the contrary, he and his brothers and sisters of the Mu family were fighting against each other, and felt that their methods were still a bit soft.

Xun Jinyuan saw Xu Shi and Shen Jiayan filled with righteous indignation, smiled and shook his head, woman, my eyesight is short-sighted, I only see this silver.

But I didn't see that Mu Tianze's method, anyway, if the money is not coming back, it's better to be more magnanimous. Once it comes to a complete break with the Mu family, no matter who the Mu family is in the future, even Mu Pojun will have no face to take it. The grace of nurturing came to threaten their brothers and sisters.

Secondly, who would not sympathize with their brothers and sisters?Among other things, my righteous sister and my wife are such smart people, but when I heard about it, they all sympathized with their brothers and sisters and hated the Mu family, didn't they?
This reputation will be wiped out immediately, and even if they have cut off any contact with Dongguang Village, everyone will only think that the three brothers and sisters are afraid, so they must be completely wiped out.

It's amazing that a half-grown child who is only in his teens has such scheming methods.

But at the same time, Xun Jinyuan's heart also relaxed. As a righteous sister, she has a business mind and will come up with some novel things.

She still doesn't understand these twists and turns!
This way he can rest assured!Those dignitaries in the capital can also rest assured!

Smiling, he watched Mrs. Xu and Shen Jiayan denounce Mu's second wife and Mrs. Mu for a long time, and then asked Shen Jiayan why he came here.

Shen Jiayan pushed the box to Mrs. Xu, who opened it and handed it to Xun Jinyuan.

Xun Jinyuan was more cautious, and his eyes lit up after he heard it and looked at it twice, "This is your new creation? What can you say?"

Shen Jiayan repeated the benefits of Bingtang to Xun Jinyuan again.

Xun Jinyuan happened to have some discomfort in his throat in the past few days. After hearing this, he picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth. A sweetness flowed down his throat, which made Xun Jinyuan's brows loosen a little.

With candy in his mouth, his speech was a bit vague: "Is this rock candy easy to make? What's the cost?"

Shen Jiayan said: "Rock sugar is more troublesome than white sugar. It is extracted from white sugar, so the cost does not increase much. If there are no accidents in a catty of white sugar, at least seven or eight taels of rock sugar can be produced."

"Besides, this rock candy won't get angry, and it can also nourish the lungs. Compared with white sugar, it is more nourishing. Now that the tribute is going to the palace, I think the ladies in the palace will like it very much."

Xun Jinyuan automatically translated Shen Jiayan's words into, although the cost is not high, although it is troublesome, the sugar yield is high, and it is sweeter and more nourishing than white sugar.You can pay tribute to the palace first, let the ladies like it first, and follow the example, this rock candy will be more likable than white sugar.

Immediately my heart surged.

Among other things, in the past two or three years, under his supervision, a steady stream of white sugar and brown sugar has been transported from Anlu Mansion to all parts of the country, and through this, he has established relationships with many nobles in the capital.

Now he, the magistrate of Anlu Prefecture, can be regarded as having both fame and fortune. Not only is he a good official, but he is also favored by his superiors.

In private, because of the sugar workshop jointly opened by his wife and Shen Jiayan, as well as the dry stock of the department store, coupled with the filial piety from everywhere, he has already made a lot of money.

In the past, the Anlu Mansion was a good position for the officials who were sent out, but now, this position is really hot.

He can still sit securely in this position now, apart from the nobles he has made friends with in the capital, the more important thing is naturally the help of his righteous sister Shen Jiayan.

In another year, I'm afraid I will be transferred.

After all, with such a big fat job, I don’t know how many people are staring at it. It is already the result of a compromise between various forces to allow me to serve for three years.

After three years, it is hard to say where I will go.

If transferred to another place, I don't know where to go.

If it is transferred back to the capital, it sounds expensive, but at that time, he is afraid that he will not be of much use to those noble people.

He was already worried, but at this moment, Shen Jiayan's rock candy was no less than a timely rain to him, what's more, it was a life-saving straw.

The eyes looking at Shen Jiayan at that moment were terribly bright.

But soon he restrained himself and nodded.

At this moment, the rock sugar that was swallowed has all turned into sweet juice, and I swallowed it all. I don't know if it is a psychological effect, or if the rock sugar really has an effect, and I actually feel much more comfortable.

The smile on his face widened again.

While listening to Shen Jiayan's words, he was thinking about how to use this rock candy to seek the greatest benefit for himself.

As for Shen Jiayan, Xun Jinyuan glanced at her and couldn't help thinking about it.

Now it seems that he still has to rely on Shen Jiayan for his promotion this time, and there will be times when he will be needed in the future.

It's not enough to just think of a righteous sister!It's not enough to completely tie their interests together!
Although Shen Jiayan got married and divorced before, she was still Mu's wife to the outside world, and she had three children under her, so even if some people wanted to make up their minds, it was difficult to do so because of their reputation.

Now that the news of Shen Jiayan's separation from Mu Pojun and a complete break with the three children has spread, I'm afraid that many people will be ready to move.

So what if it's a woman who has been married and divorced, she can earn money like this, and she can marry and go home as a sacrifice!
Even those nobles in the capital would be willing to accept people as concubines!

Like it or not, as long as people enter the door, wouldn't money also enter the door?
The status is low, and they can make money, and they can't make any waves when they are included in the backyard.

Even Xun Jinyuan had to admit that he had thought about it too.

After Shen Jiayan and Mu Pojun separated, he had this intention.

It's just that before it was revealed, Mrs. Xu went to see Shen Jiayan, and when he came back and said what Shen Jiayan said, he knew that this matter would not be done.

At that time, he was thinking that if Shen Jiayan was unwilling, he would really go all out and get back together with Mu Pojun, which would be bad.

So simply recognizing the righteous sister is also a way to win over.

And at that time, he didn't expect that Shen Jiayan would have such ability to achieve what he is today.

Now, it's hard for him to speak again, but if Shen Jiayan is allowed to be snatched away by other nobles, it's better——

He had an idea in his mind, he glanced at Mrs. Xu, thinking that someday he should mention it to Mrs. Xu first, and let Mrs. Xu test Shen Jiayan's tone.

It just so happened that Mammy Dong came to report that the reception banquet for Shen Jiayan was ready, and everyone was invited to attend.

The reception banquet was held in the flower hall, and Mrs. Xu had asked her to invite her two sons, the concubine's room and the two concubine's daughters, and they were already waiting in the flower hall.

The two concubine girls came up to greet them again.

Shen Jiayan was secretly glad that when she went out this time, Nanny Cheng put several gold bracelets on her wrists, just because she was afraid of encountering such a situation.

Withdrawing two gold bracelets from her wrists, one of the girls stuffed one in her hand, and she was about to say some simple, polite words like playing games.

Xun Jinyuan's backyard is considered clean, there are only two aunts, and there are no sons born by concubines, only two girls born by concubines.

In addition, Shen Jiayan could be regarded as their aunt anyway, not counting outsiders, so there was no distinction between men and women, and they sat down in a circle.

The two aunts don't go to the table on weekdays, they just wait behind Mrs. Xu.

Several dishes on the table are Shen Jiayan's favorites, and it seems that Mrs. Xu asked Madam Dong to order them down.

A large table of dishes, apart from Shen Jiayan's favorite, is one or two favorites of the Xun family members.

The only thing that was missing was a large white cup in the middle, covered with a lid, so it was impossible to tell what was inside.

Probably because I didn't often eat at the same table with Xun Jinyuan, the two concubine girls didn't dare to show their air, and didn't dare to stretch their chopsticks too much. They only picked up the few dishes in front of them, and didn't dare to eat more, for fear of bad manners .

The rule that food is not spoken has been thoroughly implemented at the Xun family's dinner table.

He didn't speak, just ate his food.

Shen Jiayan was quite open-minded, the food was delicious and sweet, but the two concubine girls didn't know how to eat, and after a long time, the rice bowl hadn't been touched at all.

On the contrary, Xun Jinyuan and Mrs. Xu saw Shen Jiayan's delicious food, so it was rare for them to eat a few more mouthfuls.

Shen Jiayan reckoned that he was half full, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Xun Jinyuan and Xu's had almost eaten, and the two concubine girls hurriedly put down their bowls and chopsticks regardless of whether they were full.

Just as she was about to ask someone to bring water to rinse her mouth, Madam Dong came up with six small sweet white porcelain bowls, opened the big cup in the middle, and a sweet scent combined with hot air rushed to her face.

It was exactly the white fungus soup stewed in rock sugar that Shen Jiayan had mentioned earlier.

The white fungus is stewed glutinous and sticky, crystal clear, and there are a few thinly sliced ​​red dates and a few red goji berries inside.

The small bowl with sweet white porcelain is very beautiful.

Shen Jiayan smiled, took a bowl first, and took a sip with a spoon. Sure enough, the familiar taste was sweet and soft, and it melted in the mouth.

Seeing her, Mrs. Xu also took a bowl, took a sip, and couldn't help admiring: "Sure enough, the taste is different from before, it's more sweet and easy to drink."

On the one hand, I recommend Xun Jinyuan and everyone to try it.

Although Xun Jinyuan didn't like sweets very much, he couldn't resist watching Xu Shi and Shen Jiayan eat deliciously, so he took a sip, his frowning brows relaxed, and he ate up the entire bowl without making a sound.

This is rare!
Xu's two sons and two concubines' daughters also took over. The boys are okay, they don't like it, but they can accept it.

The two concubine girls ate up the whole bowl, and they drank the steaming bowl. Their little faces were pink and blood-colored, and their complexion looked much better. The empty stomach was warm and very comfortable. .

Xun Jinyuan had tasted the rock sugar, and knew that there was rock sugar in it, so he nodded: "It's suitable for you women to eat!"

Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes angrily, he didn't eat less himself, okay?
Seeing that there was something left on the table, and seeing the two aunts watching helplessly from behind, it seemed as if she had treated her harshly.

He also ordered: "Give each of the two aunts a bowl to taste."

The two aunts thanked Mrs. Xu, and after taking it and tasting it, they were full of praise.

That's all for the Xu family, but Xun Jinyuan took it into his heart and strengthened the idea in his heart.
