After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

"Miss, that should be Banxia's shop." Bai Zhi took a look.

"Let's go and have a look." Ning Ruyan got out of the car and walked over with the three girls.

The shop being surrounded was indeed the Xiangyuan Pavilion in Banxia, ​​but because it hadn't opened yet, the plaque hadn't been hung up yet.

Banxia was holding her waist and confronting a man: "Don't blackmail me here. If you don't leave, I will report him to the official."

"Why do you little girl talk like this?" The man seemed to be a scholar and spoke in a refined manner. "I came here, and the tiles on your shop fell down and hit me. Shouldn't I ask for an explanation?" he said. Then he raised his hands to the people around him and said, "It's a good thing I dodged it. Otherwise, if it hit me on the head, would I be dead?"

Everyone around me is saying yes.

Banxia was very angry, but she seemed to feel that she was wrong: "But it didn't hit me, didn't it?"

"If it hits me, I will die. Can I still argue with you?"

The people around who were watching the excitement nodded, and some even advised Banxia to keep it private.

"Then what do you want to do? I'll compensate you, two taels of silver, to calm your shock." Banxia took a deep breath and took out a piece of silver from his wallet.

"Liu Yunchang, as a scholar, if you are willing, you can quickly earn ten taels of silver. Your two taels of silver are about the same as being sent away to beg for food." Liu Yunchang shook his head, "Young lady, you are insulting me."

"Then how much do you want?"

"At least one hundred taels."

"Are you robbing money?" Banxia exclaimed.

The people around were also surprised. After all, it was one hundred taels. After all, an ordinary family could live well with only two taels of silver a month.

"Girl, I'm wrong. I'm a scholar. A scholar's head is valuable. Besides, I abide by the law and won't rob it, because that's what I want."

Banxia laughed out of anger: "You are blackmailing people."

"No, I'm just telling the truth." Liu Yunchang shook his head seriously, "Besides, I have to take the exam next year. If I pass the exam, I will be a member, and then I will be a Jinshi..."

Ning Ruyan couldn't help laughing when she heard it outside. She pushed away the crowd and walked over: "Young master Liu is right, a hundred taels is not much." He glanced at Banxia.

Banxia opened her mouth, but did not refute in the end.

Bai Zhi took out a one hundred tael silver note and handed it over.

"Madam, I..." Liu Yunchang was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to be so generous. He just wanted to find a job.

"You deserve this." Ning Ruyan smiled, "Of course, if you don't want it, you can come over and work. The shop is short of manpower."

This Liu Yunchang was someone she was very familiar with in her previous life, but they didn't meet until next year in her previous life.

At that time, she happened to be returning to Beijing from Lingyin Temple. On the way, she met Liu Yunchang, who was caught in the rain and had a fever. Her compassion allowed her to help him, and arranged for him to stay in a nearby inn. She also hired a doctor to keep the money. .

Liu Yunchang had been looking for a benefactor since he entered Beijing, but he couldn't find one. However, because he had to study and live, he happened to go to Ning Ruyan's shop to apply for the job of accountant, and then recognized Banxia.

Later, Ning Ruyan found out that Liu Yunchang's hometown was in Cangzhou, one of the areas that would be hit by the worst floods next year. The floods washed away the entire village, and not even the bodies of his parents, siblings, were found.

Because of this natural disaster, he missed the examination.

However, three years later, he continued to take the imperial examination, and even passed the Huiyuan examination. In the subsequent imperial examination, he was selected as the top scholar, and achieved the third place in the imperial examination. However, after that, he took the initiative to return to his hometown of Cangzhou to become an official. The corpses of his parents Not finding it has always been his worry. Although several years have passed, he still wants to go back and work hard. But he never forgot Ning Ruyan's kindness, and even promised him that he would return to Beijing as soon as possible so that he could protect her.

It's a pity that she didn't wait for him to return to Beijing until her death.

Unexpectedly, coming back after rebirth would cause many things to go awry, and people who would only appear next year would actually appear earlier than expected.

Liu Yunchang seemed a little embarrassed, but he still cupped his fists and said, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey."

"Please come inside." Ning Ruyan made an inviting gesture.

Liu Yunchang followed him into the shop.

The people watching the excitement all dispersed.

"Miss, do you really want to hire him? But..."

"Don't worry, this is a man of great talent." Ning Ruyan patted Banxia's head, "With him helping you, you will feel much more relaxed."

Ban Xia suddenly stopped talking. Although she was a little disgusted with Liu Yunchang, the eldest lady said so, so she no longer disliked him for the time being.

In the backyard of the shop, Ning Ruyan looked at Liu Yunchang: "Master Liu, with the monthly payment of two taels of silver a month, you can take care of food and housing, as well as clothes, shoes and hats all year round. What do you think? If you are not satisfied, you can raise it. .”

"This..." Liu Yunchang couldn't help but rub his hands after hearing this, "Very good, very good."

"In that case, let's sign a contract." Ning Ruyan gestured.

Banxia hurriedly brought the Four Treasures of the Study.

Ning Ruyan picked up a pen and wrote a deed: "Take a look and see if there is anything you want to delete."

Liu Yunchang took it and took a look, his eyes lit up: "Good words."

Ning Ruyan smiled: "Let's read the content."

"There's nothing to change, it's good." Liu Yunchang put down the deed.

After the deed was completed, Ning Ruyan discussed it with them, and then set the opening date in three days, which would be the tenth day of May, and then let them do it themselves.

After Ning Ruyan left the shop, Liu Yunchang unconsciously asked Banxia about Ning Ruyan.

"Liu Yunchang, you are my man now. My eldest lady is not yours to covet, understand?" Banxia pinched her waist and glared at him.

"Miss? But she is clearly wearing a madam's bun."

"Liu Yunchang, I advise you not to ask. It won't do you any good." Banxia turned around and entered the workshop in the backyard. The spices to be sold in the future will be prepared by her and then let the people behind do the subsequent processing. .

Liu Yunchang scratched his head. He didn't want to ask, but he didn't know why. When he first saw Banxia, ​​he felt familiar. Later, when he saw his wife, he felt more familiar. Even the girl named Bai Zhi beside her felt familiar, but he I'm sure I haven't seen them before.

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, so I simply stopped thinking about it. Maybe it was because I was destined to them.

Bai Zhi, who had left the shop, was also asking Ning Ruyan: "Miss, why did you let such an unknown person go to the shop?" Now that the waiters and others in the shop are all bought, then But he signed the contract. (End of chapter)
