Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

In other words, if Mu Yue had that fate and could have a son within three years, then her child would be the eldest son, with a proper title and status.

Because Qi Guoguo has no children under his knees now, the side concubine was also unlucky, and died of illness not long after entering the palace.

Nowadays, all civil and military officials of Qi State are very worried about the continuation of the royal bloodline, so if Mu Yue can give birth to a dragon son, it is not only the expectation of the royal family, but also the expectation of the entire Qi State.

This promise, I have to say, is too heavy!It is equivalent to tacitly acquiescing that the child born by Mu Yue will be the next monarch of Qi State without accident.

Mu Tianze really doesn't understand that this girl of his family has been growing up under his nose, otherwise he would have wondered when did he have a private relationship with the King of Qi.

Since the two haven't met, it's just a marriage for the interests of the two countries. Even Mu Tianze and Mu Yue only think that they can give Mu Yue the greatest respect in order to save face. For the rest, Mu Yue can slowly plan on her own. of.

But what's going on with the king of the Qi Kingdom?You just gave this promise so frustratingly, are you crazy?Or was he dazzled by the beauty of his sister, newlyweds, impulsive?
Mu Tianze couldn't help but look at Mu Yue a few more times.

My sister, I understand, she is not a celestial being, she has a tough temper, and she has tricks. It should be no problem to be a queen, but she doesn't look like a concubine who can confuse the king?
Or is it just Mu Yue's trick that Qi Guoguo has?
Mu Tianze expressed his incomprehension!

Let alone Mu Tianze, even Mu Yue herself doesn't understand, okay?
The first reaction was, is this dog man trying to trick him?First coax yourself to take it seriously, and immerse yourself in this illusory promise and favor, and then if the dog man turns his face, I'm afraid that I will fall into a place of eternal doom.

Is it too vicious?
Probably because Mu Yue's expression of shock and disbelief was too obvious, Qi Guoguo couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to ask Mu Yue to inform Mu Tianze of this promise, and also to inform the two countries. If he really violated this promise in the future, Mu Yue The country can also have an excuse to seek justice for her or something.

Mu Yue had no idea, so of course she asked Mu Tianze for help.

Mu Tianze calmed down quickly, and begged to see Lord Qi, and the two had a secret chat.

Only then did I know that the king of Qi State naturally did not make the promise in vain, but with conditions.

But it's good to have conditions, and it's reassuring to have conditions, isn't it?

It turned out that before the king of Qi State was enthroned, he was just a little transparent among the princes, very inconspicuous.

He also knows how to hide and clumsy. He claims that he likes to travel around the mountains and rivers. He is outside all the year round and rarely returns to the capital.

A few years ago, he also traveled to Jin State and saw a different scenery from Qi State.

He didn't dare to go to the capital of Jin State, so he only played around Nanzhou.

I have seen the convenience of Nanzhou's geography, and I have also seen the prosperity of Nanzhou.

A steady stream of all kinds of rare treasures, as well as special products from all over the world, came from the sea, then passed through Nanzhou, flowed to the whole country of Jin, and even went all the way to the Western Regions.

Only a small amount will flow to Qi State.

At that time, he once thought, if the relationship between the two countries can be more harmonious, there will be more business contacts, and the business routes between the two countries will be opened up, will the people of Qi State also be able to enjoy those overseas things?

What's more, Jin's farming technology far exceeds that of Qi's. If the two countries have a good relationship, they can exchange some farming technology so that the people of the country can have enough food, that would be a great good.

It's a pity that at that time, he was still a transparent little prince, and these thoughts could only be kept in his heart.

Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly became the monarch of Qi State, so naturally he had to show off his ambitions.

After thinking about it, there are only a few ways to quickly bring the relationship between the two countries closer, and marriage is the safest.

He became the emperor's son-in-law and treated the princess of Dajin well. At that time, the Emperor of Jin would not refuse such an idea, right?
The abacus was calculated, that is, the capital of the Jin Dynasty was far away, otherwise the emperor of the Jin Dynasty might have heard it.

Mu Tianze really didn't expect that the Lord of the Qi Kingdom actually had this idea.

Is this another form of sacrificing one's life for one's country?
Although Mu Tianze still had some doubts in his heart, he still believed what the King of Qi said on the surface. He only said what he meant, and he would report to the Emperor Jin after he returned to China, and he would try his best to facilitate the trade.

When Lord Qi heard this, he was half relieved with the words of this uncle.

For the rest, as long as he gives enough benefits, there will be no big problem.

After talking about the business, Mu Tianze was about to leave, but Qi Guoguo pulled him along with embarrassment, and asked him something that made Mu Tianze dumbfounded.

It turned out that when King Qi was visiting Dajin, he saw plum blossom snow sugar for the first time in Nanzhou City, which was a shock.

He is addicted to sweetness, but it's a pity that there is only that kind of caramel in Qi country now, how can it be as sweet and beautiful as plum blossom snow candy?
After eating plum blossom snow candy, eating caramel candy is not so tasty, it is a bit difficult to swallow.

It's a pity that this sugar is a material controlled by the Jin court. Although it is not as good as salt and iron, it is also very precious.

It was also a coincidence that I was able to see plum blossom snow sugar at the beginning.

How could this thing be sold to Qi State?

Generally, they are sold at high prices to sea merchants. They take them to the other side of the sea and sell them to the monarch on the land there, and get ten times and a hundred times the benefits.

In this way, the supply is in short supply. In the past few years, in order to snatch the plum blossom snow sugar, the sea merchants have often tripped each other up.

The Lord of the State of Qi didn't ask for anything else, he just wanted to let Mu Tianze get some plum blossom snow candy for the Lord of the State of Qi, so that the people of the State of Qi could also experience it.

Mu Tianze's eyebrows twitched, thinking of the sucrose that Shen Jiayan discovered, now he doesn't know what he has come up with?
Based on his understanding of Shen Jiayan, he thought there would be no problem.

Immediately, I was very excited. If I could really refine sucrose like plum blossom snow sugar, it would be snowflake flower silver!

But he still held back, nodded calmly on his face, and didn't give any approval, only said to wait for him to go back and figure out a way, and then give him a letter of approval.

When Qi Guoguo saw that Mu Tianze didn't agree with everything, but said very carefully that he would go back and find a way, his heart was half lost.

Knowing that Mu Tianze really took the matter to heart, he didn't intend to perfuse him.

If Mu Tianze fully agreed that there is no problem, I am afraid that Qi Guojun himself will not feel at ease.

Therefore, the two reached an agreement in private.

Mu Tianze is also relieved, as long as the two countries do business and maintain a good relationship, Mu Yue's position in Qi State will not be shaken.

And they manipulated a little bit, let Mu Yue come forward at that time, and open a sugar shop in the capital of Qi State in her name, which would not only allow Mu Yue to take root in Dajin faster, but also earn Qi State's money, it would kill two birds with one stone.

Although this candy is not easy to get, if you ask the emperor of Jin Dynasty, it is not good, and you need to attract people's attention.

Fortunately, Shen Jiayan is in Nanzhou, giving her time, it's not difficult to think about it!At that time, he will directly sell his fiefdom to Qi State, without disturbing the court, and all the money will belong to him, which is the best.

After hearing Mu Tianze's words, Shen Jiayan knew what Mu Tianze meant.

Clapping their hands, Da Zhuang and Gou Sheng, who had been waiting for a long time, came in and greeted Mu Tianze.

Mu Tianze hadn't seen them for many years, but he smiled and greeted them.

Da Zhuang and the others said that now they have successfully refined all kinds of brown sugar, and the sales volume is very good.

As for plum blossom snow sugar and rock sugar, samples have already been refined.

Mu Tianze said that he wanted to see it, and Gousheng went out for a while, then came in with a tray.

There are several small sweet porcelain cups on the top, which are filled with various kinds of sugar.

Under each small cup, there is a small stick indicating what kind of candy is in the dish.

Shen Jiayan asked Shen Jiayan to bring some of the sugar refined from beets.

In addition, these days, the brown sugar refined from sucrose purification, as well as the refined white granulated sugar and yellow rock sugar, were all placed on the plate.

It looks so clear at a glance.

Mu Tianze took a closer look, the rose brown sugar and ginger candy refined from sucrose, you can tell just by looking at the rose petals inside, and when you smell it closely, the pungent smell of ginger juice rushes up.

As for the white granulated sugar refined from sucrose, it looks no different from that refined from beets.

On the contrary, the yellow rock candy looks crystal clear. Compared with the white rock candy I saw in the capital before, although the color is not so pure, it looks more appetizing.

I also listened to Da Zhuang and Gou Sheng's explanations one by one, the characteristics of these sucrose, the comparison of sweetness, the audience and popularity in the outside shop,
While Mu Tianze nodded, he tried each of them, and compared them one by one, and he had an idea in his mind.

Thank Da Zhuang and Gou Sheng for their hard work.

The two were flattered. You must know that although they lived together in the same courtyard before and were servants, in fact, they did not have such strict distinctions between superiors and inferiors.

But now, this Mu Tianze is the prince, a noble person that a little person like them will never meet in his life!If you can do things for him, then the ancestral grave will be smoked!

What's more, Mu Tianze said so gently that they had worked hard, and when he was excited for a while, he wished he could do his best.

Shen Jiayan saw the excited appearance of the two of them and knew it clearly in his heart.

Da Zhuang and Gou Sheng, as her servants, the biggest way out is to be a manager, have some money, and have some face and connections in the business field.

But if he works for Mu Tianze, if he does well, he might be able to reach the sky in one step!
Before, she was worried that if she got to that point, Da Zhuang and Gou Sheng would not be entrusted to them.

After all, he followed me for six or seven years, step by step, to where he is today, so he couldn't see the result of their disappearance, could he?

Now this is very good, it saves her a lot of things.

So he said: "These sugar refining matters, they are all familiar with me. It is thanks to them that they can be refined so quickly in Nanzhou this time! Now I don't care about these things. Now, leave everything to them! If you have anything to order or do, leave it to them! I will give you all the deeds of several people in a while!"

This is to open up the conversation, firstly, to let Mu Tianze feel at ease in employing people, secondly, to tell Da Zhuang and them that he will not block their way.

Mu Tianze didn't care either, in his heart, Shen Jiayan was now under his care, and these subordinates were used by him, and they gave him their body deeds, which was Shen Jiayan's consistent style of doing things.

He just accepted it with a smile, and thought to himself, to take in Shen Jiayan and these servants, he should arrange some smart and skilled guards around Shen Jiayan, to run errands for her or something.

Da Zhuang and the others were also overjoyed, looking at Shen Jiayan with gratitude in their eyes, although there was a trace of guilt and guilt, but in the end the joy overwhelmed everything.

Now that he finished explaining the matter, Shen Jiayan saw that Mu Tianze was also tired, seeing that it was getting late, he told him to go back and rest quickly.

These things cannot be rushed for a while, as long as the regulations are set, it will be done slowly in the future.

Mu Tianze was determined, tiredness slowly rolled up, he nodded and went back to the front yard.

Early the next morning, Shen Jiayan called the remaining Dazui and the others together, and said that they would transfer their deeds to Mu Tianze, and they would work for Mu Tianze from now on.

She will live a retirement life in the future, and she will not interfere with the outside affairs.

If you continue to follow her and bury the talents of the few of them, after all, she watched them grow up, how can you bear it?So I found a good place for them, worked hard, and maybe got an official job in the future, it was better than following her.

Tie Dan was naturally grateful, not at all unhappy.

Huzi, on the other hand, has been staying in Changyang County. At the beginning, he voluntarily stayed there, thinking that it would be good for him to help guard a few villages. He is originally from Changyang County. He has married a wife and had children in the local area and has taken root. .

So of course there is no him this time.

There is only a big mouth, but there is no sign of happiness.

When Huzi Tiedan and the others left, they pointed out that they had something to ask, so they stayed.

Seeing that there were only himself, Shen Jiayan, and Nanny Cheng in the room, they were silent for a while before asking: "Is the shopkeeper leaving?"

When they opened a department store, everyone called Shen Jiayan the big shopkeeper, and Dazui and others also called him that. Although they are no longer big shopkeepers, they are used to it and can't change it.

Shen Jiayan raised her eyebrows, unexpectedly, Dazui could see her thoughts.

Indeed, she was already planning to leave Nanzhou.

Originally, she also wanted to keep Nanny Cheng, and wanted Nanny Cheng to live in Prince Qi's mansion for the elderly.

She never wanted to become a nanny but she refused, and only said that wherever Shen Jiayan was, she would be there!If Shen Jiayan doesn't want her anymore, she can just find a place to die.

What else could Shen Jiayan do, she was already reluctant to become a nanny, so she naturally retracted her previous words and made an appointment with the two of them to be companions.

Seeing Shen Jiayan's expression, Dazui knew he had guessed right.

Immediately said: "Wherever the shopkeeper goes, Dazui will go there! Although Dazui is a little beggar, he also knows how to be loyal. The only master in this life is the big shopkeeper!"

"What's more, the shopkeeper and the nanny are two weak girls. Even if they want to leave, they still need someone to stand in front of them. Dealing outside, right? I don't have any other skills, and these jobs can still be done! What's more, I'm single. If you have nothing to worry about, it's fine to follow the shopkeeper."

Seeing that Dazui really wanted to be with her, Shen Jiayan couldn't help feeling warm in her heart.

In the end, I still asked one more question: "Do you really want to follow me? Is it better to follow King Qi to have a future? Do you not regret it in the future?"

With a big smile: "In my life, from a small beggar to today, I have no worries about food and clothing, thanks to the big shopkeeper! Following the big shopkeeper is my best future! Don't blame the big shopkeeper Da Zhuang and Gousheng, they have I have a family, and I have to fight for the sake of my children and mothers! I don’t have much ability by myself, and it’s useless to stay here with King Qi! It’s better to serve the shopkeeper, I’m so happy!”

Da Zuiben also married in Changyang County, and is also the daughter of a merchant. When he left Changyang for the capital, he originally wanted to take the merchant's daughter with him and get married again in the capital.

But the merchant's daughter was unwilling to leave her parents, and she didn't know where she heard that Shen Jiayan was abandoned by those nobles, she couldn't be a big shopkeeper, and all her subordinates also lost their power.

Afraid that his family would be implicated, he withdrew his marriage.

After the Dazui Sutra, she lost her mind and focused on doing things for Shen Jiayan.

Shen Jiayan thought that what she said was justified, if she was walking outside, it would be really inconvenient for her to be the only nun and two female relatives, but it would be better to have a man at the front to take care of it.

Besides, seeing Dazui really wanted to follow him, it was rare for him to have a heart, so Shen Jiayan acquiesced.

Just let Dazui not miss it, and tell others that he is afraid that no one who is used to Shen Jiayan will delay the matter, so he should stay by Shen Jiayan's side first, and talk about it later when he trains someone to take over.

Dazui knew it in his heart, he hurriedly agreed to go, and sent the deeds of Da Zhuang, Gou Sheng and Tie Dan to Mu Tianze by the way.

Mu Tianze naturally asked a few more questions, and Dazui replied according to what Shen Jiayan said.

When Mu Tianze heard this, he felt embarrassed. He was too short of manpower, so he was rude.

But what Dazui said was true, it was all given to him, it would be inconvenient for Shen Jiayan to do anything, not to mention it would not look good in the eyes of others.

Not only was he not angry, but he also gave Dazui a jade pendant to let him concentrate on serving Shen Jiayan.

Big Mouth patted his chest naturally to reassure Mu Tianze.

Mu Tianze was relieved of Dazui and the others, after all, they were childhood friends.

Now he is very busy in order to establish a solid foundation in Nanzhou, and he often does not return to the Qi Palace for ten days and a half months. With Shen Jiayan taking care of the Qi Palace in order, he doesn't have to worry about it, so he is more at ease.

From east to spring, the agreement between him and Qi Guo has been five or six points, and the fiefdom of Nanzhou is now basically under control.

He just came to his senses, he hadn't seen Shen Jiayan for a long time.

After asking the housekeeper who came to the palace, he found out that Shen Jiayan had gone to the Zhuangzi in Xiatou County to soak in the hot spring half a month ago.

She said she would only come back after a month of fun, and with Big Mouth serving her by her side, she thought there would be no problem.

Mu Tianze finally got some free time. He heard that the hot spring over there is good, so he thought he might as well take a dip, give himself a vacation, and pick Shen Jiayan back by the way.

Unexpectedly, when he rushed to the village excitedly, he was told that Shen Jiayan and the others had come over half a month ago, but left after only two days.
