Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 40
"Anyone has the face to say this to our third bedroom, but your first wife is the least qualified. Why is our third bedroom poor? Didn't your first wife suck the blood dry?" Ye Qiongdan said coolly.

"It's your honor to be able to spend money for the future Master Juren!" said the eldest daughter-in-law excitedly.

"Let's talk about it after the uncle wins Juren." Ye Qiongdan stopped looking at her, walked into Ye's house, and said to the calm-faced second wife, "Second aunt, I want to ask girl Dan to come with me to the town to help."

"No!" The second daughter-in-law resolutely refused, "She's gone, who will do the work in the field? Besides, messing around with you? You owe a whole lot of debt yourself!"

"Second Auntie, I never said that I was in debt, it was all your wild guesses," Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly, "In fact, my catering business in the town is doing pretty well."

"Do you think I'll believe you? You want to lie to me? You're still young!" The second daughter-in-law said firmly, "I will never let Xiang girl go to work with you in the town, so you just give up on it." I can't let you ruin Xiang girl's life!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

The second daughter-in-law passed Ye Qiongdan and stepped forward to open the concealed door.

Standing outside the door was a girl wearing a light purple silk dress embroidered with wisteria flowers. The girl was wearing a single bun with a delicate silver hairpin stuck into it. Her skin was fair and delicate, and she wore a pair of Bracelet, one can tell that the family is not bad.

"Hello auntie, I'm looking for the wife of the second room of the Ye family." The girl smiled and said very politely.

"I am the daughter-in-law of the second room of the Ye family, who are you?" The second wife softened her tone when she saw that the other party had a good attitude.

"I'm Li Qing'er from Li Family Village, and also Li Xiucai's fiancée." The other party said generously.

"So you are the lady Li who robbed my daughter of a man? You are really shameless. You don't care about robbing someone's marriage, but you dare to come to my house. You really think that I, You Yue'e, are blowing out my name." Is it?" The second daughter-in-law shouted loudly.

The second daughter-in-law had a loud voice, and when she yelled, half the village heard her.

Everyone heard the words and came over to watch the excitement.

Li Qing'er frowned, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.

Putting on airs, she said Shi Shiran: "Ma'am, the important matter of marriage is the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker. The little girl has no control over it. Madam accusing the little girl of stealing the marriage is really serious. The little girl went to the court today. Come here, I don't mean to be noisy, I just want to exchange this jade pendant for my fiancé, and by the way, I will take a look at the woman who is determined to compete with me in business. Hearing that she intends to do some business, the little girl can't help but start A sense of sympathy."

The surrounding audience nodded their heads when they heard this.

"This Mrs. Li is handsome and can talk. No wonder Li Xiucai is willing to choose her."

"Yeah, she looks like a well-educated woman, how can Xiang girl's muddy legs compare to her?"

"Learning determines destiny, Xiang girl may not be able to compare with this lady Li in her whole life!"

……

The villagers' compliments to Li Qing'er made the second wife feel extremely embarrassed, her face turned green and pale: "Then you quickly take out the money! Get the money and get out!"

Li Qing'er calmly handed the money bag to the daughter-in-law of the second room, which contained two ingots of 50 taels of silver.

The daughter-in-law of the second room untied the purse, weighed the weight of the two pieces of silver, and then bit her teeth a few times until the silver was covered with saliva.

After confirming that the silver was authentic, she wiped the drool on the silver with her clothes, and put them away carefully.

Then, he took out Li Xiucai's jade pendant and handed it to Li Qing'er reluctantly.

Li Qing'er saw that the second wife's daughter-in-law was so philistine, and a look of contempt flashed in her eyes again.

"Where is Miss Ye?" Li Qing'er asked with a smile.

Ye Qiongxiang hung her head down, feeling ashamed of herself and dared not speak.

"The little girl has been helping my father run some small business for three or four years. Speaking of which, she has a little experience in this. I plan to communicate with Ms. Ye. Let's treat it as a friend. Shanghe Village is separated from Lijia Village. It’s not far away, and we can come and go often in the future. If Ms. Ye doesn’t understand anything about business, you can come to me at any time. Although I don’t have much experience, as long as Ms. Ye asks questions, I will know everything. .”

As soon as Li Qing'er finished speaking, the villagers began to praise her again, saying that she is kind-hearted and has a great temper. The face of the Dan girl.

Such a good girl is really like a fairy girl.

Li Qing'er was a little proud of everyone's praise, but she was very good at hiding her emotions, even if she was extremely proud, she just raised her little finger slightly.

"No need, the knowledge of the ancients is exhaustive, and the young and the old are the best. What is learned on paper is always superficial, and I know that this matter must be practiced. The same is true for reading and doing business. The ups and downs can only be profound if you have experienced them yourself. Otherwise, this time Avoid it, maybe next time the boat will capsize in a deeper ditch." Ye Qiongdan said.

"Is this Miss Ye Qiongxiang? You are really talented!" Li Qing'er said in surprise.

"I'm her cousin."

"No wonder..." Li Qing'er covered her mouth with her sleeve, "I heard that Ms. Ye Qiongxiang can't read. However, if you want to do business in the future, you still need to be able to read. Mrs. Ye, my father hired a female husband for me since I was a child." Come to teach in the house. This female gentleman is well-educated and gentle-tempered. How about I introduce you? The beams this lady receives are not expensive, only 30 taels of silver a year. If Mrs. Ye thinks it is too expensive, Xiao Women can help Miss Ye first, anyway, 30 taels of silver is not much money."

"I said, can you understand people's language? I told you to get out! Can't you hear me?" The second daughter-in-law is not stupid, how can she not know that Li Qing'er wants to find superiority in her daughter?Therefore, the second daughter-in-law naturally had no good temper towards her, "If you don't leave, I'll come in and pour water on you!"

Li Qing'er stepped back quickly, and said in panic: "Miss Ye, please come out! I really want to help you!"

"My daughter doesn't do business, and doesn't go out to show her face to make money to support men, so get out!" the second wife shouted angrily.

"Then let me introduce you to a family. It's a hunter in our Lijia Village. If you marry that hunter, then you can farm and hunt with him, and you can live a peaceful and beautiful life. Mrs. Ye doesn't care. It's not wrong to let you do business, after all, you have to take risks in business, how can you live a comfortable life?" Li Qing'er said gently.

Ye Qiongdan stopped the second daughter-in-law and didn't let her carry the bucket: "Miss Li, back then, your father asked a female teacher to teach you lessons. How many years have you been there?"

"Five years." Li Qing'er looked at her inexplicably.

"It's 150 taels of silver for five years?" Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly, "Miss Li, do you know how many people in these ten miles and eight villages praise you for your ability to do business?"

Li Qinger smiled.

"Do you know how many women in these ten miles and eight villages want to be a girl like you?"

Li Qing'er was even more comfortable listening.

"Xiangyatou also wants to be a girl like you. Since Mrs. Li intends to sponsor Xiangyatou to study, then we will be disrespectful. The total is 150 taels of silver for five years. Please ask Mrs. Li to pay for it."

Li Qinger's expression froze.

"What's the matter? Could it be that what you said before was all lies?" Ye Qiongdan asked with a smile.

"How... how could it be?"

"Don't worry, after we collect the money, we will definitely come to Li Xiucai's house often to ask Mrs. Li about business matters." Ye Qiongdan continued.

"no need."

"Yes, yes! If you don't ask for advice humbly, how can you make rapid progress? Besides, isn't this the kindness of Mrs. Li? How can we bear to refuse?"

"I suddenly felt that what you said before was quite right." Li Qing'er felt her throat was a little dry, "It's always shallow on paper, and I never know that this matter has to be done. I'm just a woman who has only been doing a small job for a few years. If you are good at being a teacher, I am afraid that you will mislead your disciples."

"Well, then bring the silver first." Ye Qiongdan said without embarrassment at all.

Under the scorching gazes of everyone, Li Qing'er was a little bit on the fence for a while. After a while, she said eagerly: "I said before that 30 taels of silver is nothing. Today, I will give 30 taels of silver to Miss Ye Qiongxiang. After all, as long as you know After that, you can improve by self-study, so why ask a teacher? I think Miss Ye has the determination to do business, so she must have the perseverance to study hard, don’t you think so?”

The villagers nodded again, agreeing with Li Qinger's words.

"That's right, if you don't even have the perseverance to learn by yourself, let alone do business."

"Business has its ups and downs. If you don't have perseverance, you can't stand it. Besides, 30 taels of silver is not a small amount. Mrs. Li is really kind."

……

Although Li Qing'er didn't take the 30 taels of silver seriously, but when she thought that the 30 taels of silver were spent on someone who made her feel like a stick in her throat, she felt depressed for a while.How can she feel comfortable watching the compliments from the villagers?

Besides, although 30 taels of silver is small, it is not easy to make money in business, even for a copper plate.

With a stiff smile on her face, Lady Li took out another purse from her bosom, took out 30 taels of silver, handed it to Ye Qiongdan reluctantly, and said with some heartache: "That girl Ye Qiongxiang is real! Want to do business?"

"Of course, I'm her cousin, and I know her best. Besides, we don't dare to disappoint Miss's kindness." Ye Qiongdan pulled the money over vigorously.

"Then I won't bother you, the little girl has something to do at home, so I'm leaving." Mrs. Li said angrily.

After Mrs. Li left, Ye Qiongdan stepped forward and closed the door, and handed the three bank notes to the second wife: "Mother-in-law, don't you usually value money? Why did your bones harden today? Then Mrs. Li saw it. Not a pure and kind woman, you just let her be so presumptuous at your door? She insulted your daughter, and people thought she was a pure lotus flower that emerged from the mud and remained unstained."
