Chapter 66 Reciprocity ([-])
Yu Zhu walked in, "My lady, Alang from the Wang family sent his Da Lang to give you a gift for the Qixi Festival. Now you are taking a rest at the Zhongmen Hotel (hotel: literally, a place where guests rest when they visit). You Look--"

Wang Jia Alang?who?

Xiao Nan was taken aback for a moment, then thought of the rich businessman Wang Jinbao who crowned the capital, he couldn't help but chuckled, "Hehe, I just mentioned this Wang family Alang just now, I didn't expect him to send his son to give the gift." Qixi Festival is not a simple Valentine's Day. On such a day, people can do many things, such as excuses to give gifts and receive gifts!
In order to connect himself with the gentry, Wang Jinbao gave gifts everywhere in the past two years.

However, the result made him very entangled: the real nobles ignored him, not to mention accepting gifts, and even the gates were not allowed to enter; Speaking of serious business, he can't do any of them, all of them are fucking trash.

To his surprise, the county magistrate of Xiangcheng, a noble daughter from the Xiao family in Lanling, accepted his gift and vaguely revealed some requirements of the magistrate, which gave Wang Jinbao finally hope.

To be honest, Wang Jinbao was not afraid that Xiao Nan would not mention conditions, on the contrary, he was even happier when Xiao Nan was willing to ask him for something.Because, if the lady of the county lord asks something, she will definitely get something in return. This is an unspoken rule of reciprocity.

With hope, Wang Jinbao valued Xiao Nan more and more. This time he finally found an excuse to give gifts, so he directly sent his eldest son here to show his respect for Xiao Nan.

Qin's mother saw that Xiao Nan was smiling, and seemed not to be bored with the Wang family's visitors, so she was a little worried, and reminded softly: "My lady, although the Wang family and the Wang family are rich, they are merchants after all. If you praise him like this, if Spread the word—”

Datang's contempt for merchants is not ordinary. In addition to social status and dress requirements, he also issued many explicit orders to repeatedly lower the status of merchants.Today's sages have repeatedly promulgated bans, 'Above the fifth grade, they are not allowed to enter the market', and the 'city' here refers to the eastern and western cities.

Xiao Nan remembered very clearly that in his last life, there was a court official of the fourth rank who was about to be promoted to the third rank. Seeing that the steamed cakes on the side of the road were freshly cooked, he ordered someone to buy them and eat them, but was arrested by the imperial censor. Participating in the performance, the new emperor who ascended the throne gave him an amnesty, "Born out of the country, you are not allowed to enter the third rank."

At that time, Xiao Nan only felt that the official was very hard-working, and he actually lost his career because of a piece of steamed cake.

Afterwards, Xiao Nan understood the deep meaning: the court and the new emperor sent down that official not for a piece of cake, but to tell the world that merchants are lowly, and they used very obvious actions to show restrictions on business.

This is also one of the important reasons for Xiao Nan's failure in the previous life.

Back then, after Xiao Nan and Cui Youbo reconciled, she strictly followed the rule that a female pig's feet must be successful in the business world, and ordered people to open many shops in the eastern and western cities, selling off-season fruits and cross-stitch products. , selling essential oils, selling soap, selling glass... Relying on the gold-lettered signboards of the Lanling Xiao family and the county lord, Xiao Nan opened more than a dozen shops in just one year, and relying on these shops accumulated Huge wealth unimaginable by the world.

At that time, Xiao Nan was very proud, thinking that he was very successful, rich beyond compare, and even the number one richest woman in the Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity that she didn't know at that time that when she opened the first shop in the name of Xiao, she was expelled from the gentry and royal family at that time-officials could not even enter the two cities, let alone do business. Yes, Xiao Nan's actions, in the eyes of the gentry, are tantamount to depravity.

Unknowingly being squeezed out of the upper class, Xiao Nan's subsequent journey became more and more difficult, which is why Li Jing dared to kill her for a concubine Ji.

You must know that although Xiao Nan has broken away from the Xiao family, she has always been the magistrate of Xiangcheng County appointed by the saint, a high-grade court woman, and she is also a real seal. In addition to the annual salary, she also has a fief income.

However, Xiao Nan's business behavior with the gentry earlier angered the new emperor. Although he didn't take her title directly, he treated her very coldly. Everyone in and outside the palace knew that although the county magistrate of Xiangcheng was the new emperor's niece Although he is not favored by the new emperor, no matter whether he is a noble or a relative of the emperor, he looks down on and rejects Xiao Nan even more.

It also caused Xiao Nan's original girlfriends to alienate her one after another due to the pressure of the family and society, and finally made her fall into a situation where she had nothing to rely on.

This also directly led to the fact that people in the capital knew that Xiao Nan was kicked out of the house by her husband who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, but no one stood up to speak for her.

After being reborn, Xiao Nan thought more than once, at that time, as long as there was someone willing to help her, wouldn't she die so miserable? !
Clenching his fist tightly, his nails pinched a deep crescent in his soft palm, Xiao Nan took a deep breath, finally suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and smiled: "Don't worry, mom, I have my own measure."

Reaching out to take a cup of jujube tea, Xiao Nan drank a couple of sips, completely suppressed the gray memory in his heart, and then said with a disapproving look: "It's just that it's his duty to look at him, and he gave me a scroll of bamboo slips , just give him a little face. I don’t covet him for anything, and I don’t know how to do business. Mom, don’t worry.”

Speaking of this, Xiao Nan seemed to have thought of something, handed the teacup to the little girl at the side, raised his head and asked Yuzhu: "The king of the Wang family is still in the hotel?"

If she remembers correctly, Wang Jinbao's eldest son, Wang You'an, is quite talented in business. In his previous life, he had done a big thing with the support of the Wu family.

Well, it seems that it has not been a few years, Xiao Nan counted his fingers with his hands hidden in his sleeves, and he probably made a decision, so he ordered: "In this way, just let people accept the things he sent. In addition, you Tell him again that I like the ancient books that Aye sent last time, but unfortunately the bamboo slips are not complete, if he knows the whereabouts of other bamboo slips, please ask him to help find them.”

When compiling the volume of "Ancient Books" before, Xiao Nan was a bit rushed and didn't think very thoroughly. Afterwards, he found that he forgot to write many things.

In addition, Xiao Nan was just a college student who had just graduated in his first life, and his knowledge was limited.She is not Du Niang, everyone in astronomy and geography knows that.Therefore, the knowledge contained in the first ancient book made by Xiao Nan is very limited.

In the past two months, Xiao Nan learned a lot from the old lady. Although the old lady didn't say it clearly, Xiao Nan knew it was modern common sense. After the old lady's reminder, Xiao Nan remembered There is a lot of relevant knowledge, and these can be applied in real life, but there is no excuse to use it.

After much deliberation, Xiao Nan decided to do the same and create another ancient book.

As for Wang Jinbao and his son, they traveled all over the world, went west to the Western Regions, and went south to Nanyang, so they had seen a bit of the world.It couldn't be more convenient to 'get' ancient books through their hands.

Of course, Xiao Nan will not order people around in vain, businessmen seek profit, and she gives them this 'profit'.

Xiao Nan gently stroked his slightly protruding belly, and said: "Also, Yuzhu, you send someone to remind Mr. Wang Dalang. I, Xiao Nan, are only the married daughter of the Xiao family, and cannot interfere with her family's affairs. However, his I can help with marriage matters, hehe, I also know quite a few other noble girls with upper surnames in Beijing." Wang Youan is a smart person, he must be able to understand the deep meaning in his words.

Yuzhu's bright apricot eyes flickered, she was also smart, so she naturally understood the meaning of Xiao Nan's words.The purpose of the Wangs and their sons to curry favor with the county lord was to establish a relationship with the nobles of the five surnames, but what kind of family is the Xiao family, how can they randomly seek out relatives.But in other respects, the county lord can help a little.For example, introduce one or two concubine girls of the right age from noble families with five surnames to Mr. Wang Dalang.

Although Yuzhu is a servant, but because Xiao's family and Cui's family are both high-ranking, and they are also from noble families, the gossip they know is also very high-end. pregnancy.

And Wang Jinbao's family is so poor that they only have gold that they can't spend.

One wants money, the other wants identity, perfect match!
"Yes, lady, I'll go right away!"

Polygonatum is a straight-tempered person, and works in a hurry.After receiving Xiao Nan's order, he saluted hastily and left the greenhouse.

After going out, Yu Zhu called Gu Yu who was following her, and among the four little girls, this one was the smartest.

However, after explaining a few words, Yuzhu still looked a little dazed when she saw her, worried that she would ruin the county lord's errand, and finally decided that she should do it herself.

Wang Youan sat on the low couch cautiously, with a solemn expression and clear eyes.

This was the first time he entered Cui's house, although he only entered the hotel where Cui's family entertained guests, which could barely be regarded as the periphery of Cui's family, but the speech, behavior and appearance of Cui's servants had already made him sigh inwardly.

He even murmured in his heart, the Cui family is worthy of being the number one gentry family in Shandong, even the last servants and maidservants are so polite and follow the rules.

Realizing this, Wang You'an no longer complained that Cui's house was full of short-legged furniture, not even a popular Hu bed in the market.I saw that his back was straighter, and he didn't even feel the pain in his knees, and his movements were as standard as sculptures.

"Miss Yuzhu is here!"

There was a lot of noise at the door, and the waiters outside the door hurriedly preached.

Wang Youan hurriedly lowered his head, his lowered eyes caught sight of a pair of feet wearing brocade shoes walking in front of him, and the brocade shoes looked like those worn by women, his lowered head was even lower.

"The servant girl, Yu Zhu, has met Mr. Wang Dalang."

Yuzhu knelt behind the screen and saluted according to the rules.

"Don't dare, this lady is too polite. A certain Wang You'an, I have met my lady." Wang You'an did not despise her just because the other party called herself a maidservant. He is a merchant who can offend him.

"Hehe, Mr. Wang Dalang is too polite. The county magistrate is unable to meet in person because of his unwell body. I hope Mr. Wang Dalang will forgive me." Yuzhu raised her head, and through the plain silk screen, said Xiao Nanshicai's words tactfully, and then added Said: "The county lord also said that Mr. Dalang is a rare business genius, and she is looking forward to your being able to outshine the blue and surpass the blue."

Wang You'an's eyes flickered when he heard the words, and he spoke in his heart, what does the lady of the county owner mean by saying this?Could it be that she...
