The lucky wife of a peasant is not easy to mess with, so she can earn her life by marrying her husba

Chapter 89
Xichun is not an ignorant person. Although their family helped him because he wanted to get engaged to Fu Changfeng, such intentions can also be seen that they value him.

Xichun thanked him repeatedly and gave the butler a fried chicken to thank him for his busy work.

"Miss Chen is so polite. If you help our master, you are also helping us. Otherwise, we servants who have the contract to sell themselves will probably end up being re-sold. Now that we have saved our lives, this is Little things are not worth worrying about, Miss Chen."

The housekeeper has been with the Fu family for many years, so he was named by his master. The housekeeper's name is Fu Yuan, and the whole family is a son of the Fu family.

"Steward Fu, this is all a small thought, and we made it ourselves. You can take it home and try it with your wife and children. If you like it, you can come and get it directly in the future."

"Then thank you Miss Chen. If you have anything in the future, you can come to me. The owner and his wife of this shop also plan to give you a betrothal gift in the future, so you can arrange it however you want." Butler Fu quietly revealed to her This news.

"Okay, I understand, thank you Butler Fu."

Because the shop is relatively large, the monthly rent is five taels of silver. Xichun took the silver to Fu's house, but Master Fu said that it would be done for two months first. Eighty taels of silver would be more auspicious, so Xichun stopped being pretentious and agreed. Come down.

The shop was rented, and Xichun's energy was invested in decorating the shop. There are many restaurants in this county, and most of them have pretty much the same dishes, so if there is another similar restaurant, the competition will be even greater. , so many shopkeepers are paying attention to the restaurant that is being renovated.

"Miss Chen, is this the shop you rented? What business are you planning to do?" The shopkeepers were inquiring about information, and Xichun didn't mind and told her his plan.

"I'm planning to move my hotpot stall into a shop. You don't have to worry about the wind or rain in the future. Don't worry, everyone, I'll still make these meals when the shop is open." Xichun gave them reassurance.

That's fine, even though they have opened another store, as long as they don't sell the same ones as them, customers can continue to come.

"Haha, then I wish Miss Chen a prosperous business."

After a month, Xichun was finally renovated and ready to find an auspicious day to open the business. Fu Changfeng also sent Xichun a letter to her, and Fu Changjin took it personally.

"Miss Chen, this is a letter sent to you by my brother. It's good news. Please read it slowly. I'm leaving first. By the way, you can read, but do you want someone to read it to you?" Fu Changjin didn't stop for long. After more than a month of recuperation, his body has improved a lot, but his fingers still need more care. It took a hundred days for his muscles and bones to break. Fortunately, the treatment was timely, and it was only a matter of time before he recovered.

"Thank you, Master Fu. I learned some from others before, so I can still recognize a few common words."

After finishing his work, Xichun opened the letter and read it.

In the letter, Fu Changfeng said that he had successfully arrived at Yizhou Mansion, and asked Xi Chun to rest assured that everything was going well and not to worry about him. He then mentioned the changes in the county magistrate and Guangming Mansion. It turned out that the purpose of the governor's inspection of Guangming Mansion was actually Someone quietly reported on the prefect, saying that he had raised taxes without reason and at the same time accepted bribes to help others get promoted.

This matter also involved Jiannan saying goodbye. The two of them cooperated with each other and caused many cases of officials being promoted in exchange for giving gifts. The magistrate of Weinan was also looking for these two people, and if anyone went to report quietly, they would only be killed. life.Even later, if someone was discovered discussing in private, he would be taken to another place and either do hard labor or be imprisoned on a crime.

Therefore, after the governor obtained the evidence, the fate of the two people could be imagined. A number of related officials were also implicated. In just one month, many officials from Jiannan Road and Guangming Prefecture were successively arrested. Grasp.

There is something even more disgusting about Weinan County Magistrate. He was the one who found those thieves in the first place. Because he himself was not a Jinshi, but a Juren, so his family sold all their property and found someone to run it for him. Starting from the county magistrate of a lower-class county.

The reason why he colluded with the thieves was that those people were bandits near that county. Because some people came to report the bandits' cruelty, the county magistrate was caught during the encirclement and suppression, and he used the condition of protecting them to protect them. Save his own life.

Therefore, he thought of a way to make a fortune, which was to support these murderous people. If he wanted to operate elsewhere, he would let them come forward, stare at those wealthy businessmen and gentry, and loot them to get the money for promotion. There you have it.

So after he inquired about the situation of various wealthy families in Weinan County, he was the first to focus on the Fu family. When the three-year promotion assessment period came, he naturally began to plan how to make money from these people.

For the sake of his own selfish desires, the county magistrate sought skin from the tiger and cooperated inside and outside. Naturally, the government officials were unable to catch these thieves who suddenly appeared and disappeared. After the news was over, they suddenly transformed and became the so-called businessmen.

Xichun also felt deeply vicious after reading it. The road to the county magistrate's position was really paved with the blood of the people. It is no wonder that he was directly sentenced to death in the end, and the thieves were all beheaded in public.

"So no matter what you do, you can't take shortcuts. The real path is to take it step by step. This is the same principle for our business. Only by ensuring good quality and winning reputation can we become bigger and stronger. You guys All must be remembered.”

Xichun sighed with emotion after telling Aunt Zhang and the others the outcome of the matter.

"Yes, people in this world are always greedy. If we are ordinary people, let alone a county magistrate, even if we can be a scribe, we will think that our ancestors are smoking, and not everyone is like Fu The young master is so talented and can take the imperial examination, but these people are just not satisfied."

An Wuji was also present. He had said before that if there was any news about the thief, he must tell him immediately. The current way of handling it was very satisfying.

"That is, when we make money, we can't think about making quick money. Look at Chen Lizhong's family. Just because he gambled, he later got carried away. Now, he has ended up in exile thousands of miles away."

"And Chen Xique, I heard that the child was gone and he was captured as a slave. If he had been down-to-earth, he could have been a commoner."

"By the way, I heard that Chen Xiyue was sold by that family. It seems that she said she couldn't give birth to a child and was afraid of being implicated. Hey!"

At the moment, no one will sympathize with their family except sighing. After all, they have done too many bad things, and even if they want to, they can't sympathize with them.
