Dressed as the heroine of the farming novel and the best relative

Goldman Sachs went to see Gao Lao that same day.

When Father Gao heard the news, he scolded Gao Xuan and his wife angrily. He waved his sleeves tremblingly and said, "Boss, whatever you want to do, just do it. I won't interfere in these things."

"As a father, I have no other abilities. I can only keep this small shop and make a living. No matter what happens to your second brother in the future, if he is willing to come back, then I, the father, will also restrain him. If If he doesn't want to come back, that's his own business. When he grows up, I can't control it anymore."

"Just do it with peace of mind, dad supports you." This time, Gao Gao was completely disappointed with Gao Xuan in his heart.

Goldman Sachs nodded, comforted Father Gao, and persuaded him to go back to the village to rest. Father Gao did not refuse this time, packed up his belongings, and went back.

After Goldman Sachs left, he went to find the owner of the shop and bought it.

He didn't say anything to complain, nor did he just wait for a reply from the prince. Taking advantage of this moment, he counted his money, discussed with Xiang Xi, and went to the county government to buy some land.

In this way, even if the Seventh Prince insists on organizing a chamber of commerce, he can take Xiao Xi back to the village to be the landlord. Now that there is so much land, there are also tenants and farm laborers.

In addition, during this period of time, the village's workshops spread all over the country, and the Gao family's reputation was very good. He became a landlord, and his life was easy, and he could protect his family.

Xiang Xi didn't like chasing power. She preferred a stable life. After hearing Goldman's suggestion, she agreed without hesitation.

When the third brother is admitted as a scholar, the family will be exempted from servitude and taxes. If the family can do some small business, they will be able to live a very good life without getting involved in the people and things in the capital.

therefore.

The two of them made their own arrangements, opened a shop and cultivated the land without any anxiety, and lived their own small life.

On this day, the Seventh Prince came to County Magistrate Lin and asked, "What are Mr. and Mrs. Goldman doing recently?"

County Magistrate Lin clapped his fingers and said, "They seem to be farming in the village. They are planting beets, peppers, and rice this year. They are so busy that they don't even touch the ground."

"Are they not anxious about my reply at all?" The seventh prince raised his eyebrows.

Magistrate Lin smiled slightly and said, "My lord, I don't even dare to guess what you think, let alone them. In fact, I cooperated with them because I know that the temperament of the Goldman couple is different from other businessmen. They have never They never thought about bullying anyone to make money, but on the contrary, they even supported common prosperity, and even said that only when the court is strong, businessmen can make a living, and the people can live a good life."

"interesting."

The Seventh Prince asked, "What is a beet?"

"I heard from Mrs. Gao that it is a food similar to radish, but the taste is sweet. It will definitely taste good when cooked in a pot. I believe that your lord has also gone to the shop to try the taste of the pot before. What are the side dishes required? There are a lot of them, it must be for this reason that Mrs. Gao grows so many beets in the ground.”

"I know." The seventh prince did not continue to ask about this matter.

He just said, "Go and ask Goldman Sachs and Mrs. Gao to come over."

"Yes, my lord."

Magistrate Lin didn't ask anything, and just asked someone to pass on the news.

Here.

When Goldman Sachs was found, he was in the field with Xiang Xi.

This year is a bumper harvest in the village. When many villagers saw the hot sales of peppers, they came to the Gao family to buy seeds.

When the two heard the news, they didn't hesitate much. They immediately packed up and drove the carriage to the town.

It was still early when we arrived in town.

The two went straight to the Second Entrance House where the Seventh Prince lived. It was already a very nice house in the town. Perhaps because the Seventh Prince had stayed in the town for a long time, the house did not look deserted at all. It was kept low-key and luxurious.

The two walked in, with the butler leading the way to a courtyard study.

The seventh prince opened the door and saw the two of them. With a just right smile on his face, he said, "Come in and talk in the study."

"I have seen the noble."

"I've met Mr. Lin."

Goldman Sachs and Xiang Xi walked into the room and were invited to sit down.

The seventh prince not only revealed his identity to the two of them, but also made his own request.

"I don't care if your purpose is really for the people, but I do need you to continue to do one thing for me. This Chamber of Commerce will be your responsibility. Whether you can succeed or not depends on you."

Xiang Xi was only surprised for a moment, then realized that this matter was a challenge for both himself and Goldman Sachs, and the two of them would become increasingly busy. After all, in Fucheng, if he wanted to become the boss of the Chamber of Commerce, the Seventh Prince would help him and It's not difficult, but after you become the boss.

What we are about to face is how to deal with these businessmen, and they are all big businessmen. This is different from what Xiang Xi originally imagined.

The merchants and landowners in the county town are easy to deal with. Their influence is local and not that big, so they will also appreciate the benefits she offers.

But Fucheng is different. Most of the merchants there are big businessmen. Maybe a small merchant has more property than Xiang Xi.

This is no way.

They have accumulated wealth for decades, and she and Goldman Sachs have only worked hard for a year. How can they compare? Besides, their goal from the beginning was not to make a lot of money, but to slowly lay a foundation in the county.

Xiang Xi felt troubled and subconsciously looked at Goldman Sachs.

Goldman Sachs nodded to her, looked at the Seventh Prince, and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, my wife and I don't have such a big idea of ​​doing business."

"You don't want to?" The seventh prince couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

Goldman Sachs nodded, "My wife and I feel that it is most appropriate to do business in towns or counties, develop slowly, and develop a business road."

"If you go to Fucheng, you can easily make transactions worth 10,000+ taels of silver. That's a lot of money, but it also brings a lot of trouble."

"That's not what we are pursuing. Please ask the prince to find someone else."

The seventh prince laughed angrily and snorted angrily, "You actually refuse? Then if I give this right to Liu Yuanyuan, she will naturally agree happily. When the time comes that you will suffer a loss in their hands, it will be beyond my control."

The Seventh Prince is considered a threat.

Magistrate Lin hurriedly winked at the two of them. Why don't you cherish such a good opportunity? If you offend the prince, we will all be doomed by then, not to mention that the prince will either promote Goldman Sachs or Liu Yuanyuan.

The relationship between the two families was not good. Magistrate Lin even conducted a special investigation and even knew that Gao Xuan was almost expelled from the clan.

If they don't agree to this, I'm afraid the life of the Goldman Sachs couple will be difficult in the future.

Obviously, Goldman Sachs also thought of this. His expression was a little ugly, but he did not show it in front of the Seventh Prince. He lowered his head and thought, and the atmosphere around him was silent.

Although County Magistrate Lin was anxious, he also knew that this matter could not be forced, otherwise he would be separated from Goldman Sachs, which would cause a lot of trouble in the future.

When Xiang Xi heard the seventh prince's threatening words, he had an extra guess in his mind. It seemed that the seventh prince and Liu Yuanyuan were not the same people. At least, the prince was thinking of the common people.

Liu Yuanyuan wants to make profits for herself, and sooner or later conflicts will arise between the two. In other words, even if they do not agree to this and do not cooperate, Liu Yuanyuan will not rely on the power of the Seventh Prince to climb up in the future.

However, that is all for the future. Now Xiang Xi doesn't want Liu Yuanyuan to step on him, so he should be more diligent and work hard to develop his power.

"Your Majesty, my husband and I have never been to Fucheng. We don't know what kind of power there is. Mutual benefit is naturally the best way to do business, so no one can stop us. However, if we encounter someone who can't afford to offend, We may not be able to solve it, so please don't doubt us not trying our best when the time comes." Xiang Xi said the ugly things first and expressed his willingness to agree.

Goldman glanced back at her worriedly.

Xiang Xi smiled at him. Speaking of which, it was Xiang Xi who didn't have much foresight, and she was the one who wanted salted fish. But Goldman Sachs was different. He was a smart man himself. It would be a waste of his talent to let him stay in the village for the rest of his life. , why not give it a try, of course, to get some benefits for themselves. After all, compared to the prince, their social status is too low. If they want to live a peaceful life, they must work hard.

"Also, Your Majesty, when my husband and I work for you, you must give us some benefits." Xiang Xi said with a smile.

The seventh prince is not disgusted. It is normal for the other party to repay him. Otherwise, the two of them really have no desires and desires, but he will be afraid of the other party's true purpose.

"What do you want, madam?"

Xiang Xi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is simple. My husband and I are only responsible for helping the Prince earn money. We also hope that the Prince can mention our thoughts to the Emperor. The Emperor is the master of the world. You two can see our hardships. We also work with peace of mind.”

The seventh prince smiled and said, "Madam's request is not difficult, and I will definitely satisfy it. After all, Madam has given me such a big gift before."

"I wonder what else the madam wants?"

"Your Majesty, you're welcome, that's enough. My husband and I are here to thank you for your sincere treatment." Xiang Xi greeted him in a dignified manner.

Goldman Sachs followed suit.

When Xiang Xi and Goldman came out of the house, they looked at each other and walked back hand in hand. The matter was finally settled and they were about to get busy.

In a few days.

Xiang Xi and Goldman Sachs took a carriage and headed to Fucheng, this time they brought a lot of ready-made shoes.

After arriving in Fucheng, the two went to work separately.

Goldman Sachs went to contact the businessmen in the city who had received invitations from the Chamber of Commerce to hold the first banquet.

This banquet does not involve women, it is all businessmen, and Goldman Sachs can handle it on its own.

Xiang Xi took advantage of this time to open the shop he bought before.

There were not many shoes in the shop, so Xiang Xi brought over other specialties, which were a bunch of mountain products that were easy to preserve and easy to use, as well as various seasonings.

Simultaneously.

She opened another restaurant in Fucheng. This restaurant was in cooperation with the Seventh Prince. The restaurant was very big and almost all the money was given by the Seventh Prince. Xiang Xi only needed to copy the food and pots from the county and send them to Fucheng. Just a restaurant.

It must be mentioned here that the people of the Seventh Prince, even the cooks, learn things very quickly. The key is that these people are from ordinary backgrounds, and they are talents who were recruited by the Seventh Prince recently. This shows that the Prince has a good vision.

soon.

Restaurants in Fucheng opened.

With the blessing of the pot, the mushroom pot base and the chili pot base have become the most popular existence, instantly detonating the whole city, and the three-story restaurant is full of customers almost every day.

But the business was much better than that of the grocery store opened by Xiang Xi, so she didn't panic and just hung various goods to be collected on the wall of the grocery store.chili.

shoe.

Mountain goods.

Even firewood.

These items are not expensive, so they attract many ordinary people to come to sell these chores every day. Xiang Xi refuses to refuse anyone who comes, which makes the grocery store have a particularly good reputation.

Slowly spreading throughout the city, not fast but lasting.

Xiang Xi sent the collected materials to various shops for processing and resale.

In particular, the consumption of various daily necessities and food is always the fastest.

She doesn't worry about stocking up at all. Even if she does stock up, she can still find a way to solve it.

this day.

Xiang Xi is sorting abacus in the shop.

There was another figure in front of the counter.

Xiang Xi looked up and saw Liu Yuanyuan, wearing silk and satin, with a livid face, looking at her like this.

Xiang Xi didn't even raise his eyelids and continued to calculate.

"Xiang Xi."

Liu Yuanyuan reached out and knocked on the table, reminding her dissatisfiedly, "Xiang Xi, I'm here, can't you see?"

"What? Our relationship is so bad, shouldn't I ignore you? Do you want me to greet you with a smile?" Xiang Xi looked at her with a half-smile.

Liu Yuanyuan's face turned livid with anger, "Are you too rude?"

"I'm even more rude, believe it or not, I slap you?" Xiang Xi scolded you back without hesitation.

Liu Yuanyuan gritted her teeth in hatred, but she had nothing to do with Xiang Xi. She could only hold back her anger and said, "I came to see you for something."

"Oh, I don't want to tell you."

Xiang Xi rejected her directly and was busy sorting out the goods. The grocery store was a little troublesome and had a lot of accounts to settle. The young man from the Gao family who was following her now was a newcomer after all, and he still needed Xiang Xi to take care of him.

"Gao Lu, come here and take a look at the ledgers. Compare them and see where you are wrong. Don't worry. Take your time. The ledgers must be calculated correctly." Xiang Xi spoke directly to Gao Lu.

Liu Yuanyuan was completely ignored.

She was so angry that she almost went to heaven.

"Xiang Xi, are you very proud now? Do you think this is all I have?" Liu Yuanyuan said unhesitatingly, "Just wait, I will make you regret it sooner or later."

"My lord, how can you be so easy to win over?"

Liu Yuanyuan dropped these words, with some calculation in her eyes, and resolutely turned around and left.

Xiang Xi frowned and arranged for someone to stare at her to see what she was going to do.

Then, Xiang Xi really heard some news. Liu Yuanyuan did not stay in Fucheng, but found an opportunity to go to the capital. Through Liuli, she met many noble people in the capital.

Xiang Xi originally thought that Liu Yuanyuan would do well, after all, she had a lot of experience.

result.

Not half a year.

I learned from the Seventh Prince that Liu Yuanyuan was beaten because she offended Madam Hou. Although she was later rescued by the lady she had befriended as a favor, the injuries on her body caused the loss of the child she had finally conceived. , and her health became worse.

This incident became the trigger for Liu Yuanyuan and Gao Xuan to quarrel.

Although Liu Yuanyuan was rescued and even protected by the wife of the cabinet minister, the price she paid was to make various cosmetics for him. As for Liuli, after the Seventh Prince got the recipe, Liu Yuanyuan was entangled in all kinds of troubles, and finally for To save his life, he gave up making colored glaze.

Because of her dissatisfaction with Liu Yuanyuan, Madam Hou's wife secretly used a trick to get Gao Xuan to have a relationship with her concubine.

After Liu Yuanyuan learned the news.

Even if Gao Xuan came up with evidence to prove that it was Mrs. Hou's wife who did it.

Liu Yuanyuan also angrily reconciled with Gao Xuan.

She is unwilling to accept an unclean man.

After many failed explanations, Gao Xuan finally angrily agreed to divorce, and then was forced by the Marquis's wife to marry a concubine.

And the divorce was the most difficult beginning for Liu Yuanyuan.

This is not modern times, but ancient times when women's status was low. Liu Yuanyuan and Li Hou could not set up a female household. They had the support of the wives of cabinet ministers, so they could barely do business in the capital. However, she was looked down upon by these wives, and even began to faintly say that if Anyone who uses the rouge and gouache sold by Liu Yuanyuan will not be loved by the master of the family.

As soon as the news came out.

Because the effect of gouache was not bad, the ladies who came to take care of her immediately gave up and switched to the rouge gouache produced by various pavilions that had been passed down for centuries.

Liu Yuanyuan has tried her best to promote it, but it can't change this inherent impression.

At this time, Liu Yuanyuan made another wrong decision. She turned her client to the merchant's wife. The merchant's wife did not dislike the concubine. After all, they relied on their beauty to please their masters.

As such.

The official ladies who had used Liu Yuanyuan's rouge and gouache were angry.

At this time, various forces that were originally determined to obtain Liu Yuanyuan's secret recipe used various methods to defraud her of the recipe.

Liu Yuanyuan's temper became more and more violent. She only knew a few prescriptions and was not good at research. After losing the prescriptions, her business failed completely. She had money in her hands, but she didn't dare to take the lead. Just because of this process , she offended many people.

When Liu Yuanyuan's value was completely drained.

The cabinet minister's wife also completely gave up on her.

If Liu Yuanyuan chose to take the remaining silver and return to her hometown, there might be a way out, but in fact she was unwilling to accept it and chose to seek peace with Gao Xuan and become his concubine.

Liu Yuanyuan wanted to marry into a better family, but unfortunately these people were all human beings. She saw that the Seventh Prince had some conflicts with her before, and she did not dare to offend the Seventh Prince, so she naturally would not agree.

It was true that the old official was willing to marry her as his concubine, but Liu Yuanyuan was unwilling, so she chose to get back together with Gao Xuan. She felt that marrying Gao Xuan again was superficially a concubine, but after all she was once his wife, so she couldn't. Neglect yourself.

When Xiang Xi heard the news, his expression was a little constipated and speechless. He felt that the final result was completely an emotional drama between the male and female protagonists... No matter what happened in the end, the two would still be entangled.

Xiang Xi doesn't want to worry about this.

He replied a letter of thanks to the Seventh Prince, and then stopped paying attention to Liu Yuanyuan and Gao Xuan.

Xiang Xi is busy expanding his business everywhere, especially building his brand.

Goldman Sachs was busy contacting caravans, exchanging resources with merchants in the chamber of commerce, and opening up trade routes. It took five years to create a situation where ordinary people had jobs and the economy was revitalized.

During this period, the Gao family completely took root in Yunshan County. After Gao Yun was admitted to Jinshi in his third year, the clan added more clan knowledge and completely changed its family.

Gao Yun stayed in the capital as a minor official, and Xiang Xi and Goldman Sachs would go to the capital to visit him from time to time.

After Gao Yun was admitted to the official position, he became much more mature than before. Even if Gao Xuan and Liu Yuanyuan encountered trouble, he could easily resolve it. He was cautious and very suitable for the court. He could endure grievances and could see the situation clearly. Compared with Zhao Qingyun, who has a relatively upright personality, is more suitable for the court.

After Zhao Qingyun offended the Yanguan by being too forthright, he was directly assigned to the Criminal Department and became an unforgiving and iron-blooded judge in the Criminal Department.

When Gao Yun grew up, Xiang Xi and Goldman Sachs were completely free.

"I really didn't expect Xiaoyun to have such ability. With just one word, I asked the emperor to give us a holiday." Xiang Xi was leaving the capital to return to his hometown with Goldman Sachs.

The two men have been busy over the years, enriching the emperor's private treasury and increasing the revenue of the Ministry of Revenue several times.

Xiang Xi gave Gao Yun the method of making cement roads.

If you don’t run now, then when will you wait?

"You should, you have worked hard with me these years, not to mention that now that I am pregnant, I don't want you to work hard anymore." Goldman held her in his arms and smiled helplessly when he saw that she insisted on opening the curtains. , did not stop, just took the cloak and hat over and put them on her.

"That's not because he is a brother-controller. Fortunately, your brother doesn't like to cause trouble for him, otherwise the third brother would be exhausted." Xiang Xi smiled slyly.

Goldman Sachs only hugged her waist, "Then let's go back and have a rest. Third brother doesn't have to keep an eye on me..."

"Hahaha, you're not happy anymore."

Xiang Xi's laughter was accompanied by the bright sunshine.

And outside the carriage that was gradually walking away.

In an alley, Liu Yuanyuan, dressed in ordinary coarse cloth clothes, was pushed out of the alley. A three or four-year-old boy followed beside her.

Liu Yuanyuan, who was once arrogant, unreasonable and visionary, has been completely assimilated by this era.

Kneel down and apologize to the person who pushed you.

She bent down and became a member of the common people in this era.

Then I’ll end it here~ Thank you all for your company. I don’t have time to write so I’ll end it here. I take a bow.
