Yang Ruoqing said: "This Zhang Shuilian is restless, big ball, she looks stupid at first sight. Her mind is not smart. It is estimated that 80% of everything is led by Zhang Shuilian, including taking 100 taels of silver to lend usury."

When they mentioned that this hundred taels of silver was used to lend money to usury, Yang Ruoqing was so angry that she came.

"A typical lip service, I gave them two hundred taels of silver, took half of it to rent a house in Yangzhou City, and half of it to lend a loan shark,"

"If you don't buy industries steadily or do business capital, you can use them to lend money, and you have the dream of huge profits. You are greedy, lack of brains, stupidity, real stupidity!" Yang Ruoqing said angrily.

Luo Fengtang also narrowed his eyes, "Two hundred taels of silver, this is the money that many ordinary people can't make in their lifetime. They squander like this, really ruining our efforts."

"I have something more worried about," Yang Ruoqing said, "I privately stuffed fifty taels of silver for Zhi'er, which was specially used for him to respond to emergency services. This group of black-hearted people wouldn't have put their ideas on Zhi'er, right?" She looked worried.

Luo Fengtang said: "Qing'er, I think it's necessary for us to go to Yangzhou."

Yang Ruoqing pondered for a while and nodded.

"I have this plan too. It's a shame to hear it, but it's a truth to see it. It's been half a year since Zhi'er returned to Yangzhou. We haven't seen him with his own eyes how he is doing there. I'm really worried."

Luo Fengtang said again: "Let's do it. When I go back to the military camp, I will arrange the affairs in the military camp, and then come back. Let's go to Yangzhou together."

Yang Ruoqing calculated the days of going back and forth and shook her head: "There is another month for my elder brother to get married. I will definitely not be able to catch up with this one."

"And your military camp is busy, and you may follow the emperor's orders and make changes at any time. I'd better go to Yangzhou by myself."

"I'll go quietly, not disturbing anyone. I'm going to have a surprise inspection to see how Zhi'er is doing there!" she said.

Luo Fengtang was a little worried: "Yangzhou is a bit far away, I'm worried that you are alone..."

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips and raised her hand to pinch her fist with her fingers. A creaking sound was made at the joints.

"Look, with my strength, it would be strange if an ordinary little thief does not shed his skin when he encounters me." She said.

Luo Fengtang was so amused and crying.

"Oh by the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you," she said.

"What's the matter?" Luo Fengtang asked.

Yang Ruoqing said: "After eating the night dinner tonight, Zhang Shuilian took the opportunity to help me clean up the dishes and talked about her cousin and her cousin's husband's intention to treat us to dinner tomorrow."

"I agreed. I will go to the teahouse opposite tomorrow for lunch. I originally planned to go all three of us, but Zhang Shuilian and Daqiu are eating like each other, so I guess our daughter is not happy to go there."

Luo Fengtang quickly said, "I'm too lazy to go there. You can just go there by yourself and deal with it. I'll stay in the restaurant to accompany my daughter."

Things were finalized.

The next day, in a private room in the teahouse.

Zhang Shuilian's cousin, Zhang Shuilian and Yang Ruoqing sat together.

Because Yang Ruoqing told Zhang Shuilian that Luo Fengtang had no time to go, so she was the only woman, so I hope it was a woman's party.

Zhang Shuilian quickly responded happily and went back to her cousin's side. So the three women did not bring their respective men over, and the three women were together and could talk.

Zhang Shuilian followed the agreement with her cousin in advance. Today, these three women were together, only drinking good tea, eating pastries, and chatting.

"Aunt, this is my cousin who married from Yangzhou,"

Zhang Shuilian smiled and introduced to both parties, "Although my cousin is twenty-eight this year, and she is more than three years older than you, aunt, no matter what, just treat her as a junior!"

Yang Ruoqing smiled and looked at the woman in front of her who was indeed older than her, and smiled faintly.

Huang quickly stood up and said respectfully to Yang Ruoqing: "No matter how old you are, you are an elder or an elder. Shui Lian and I are the cousins ​​of our relatives. Mrs. Luo, you are Shui Lian's aunt, that is my Huang's aunt. Please accept a gift from me."

If it were a relative from another place, Yang Ruoqing would definitely stand up and be humble.

But this time the situation was special, so Yang Ruoqing sat there steadily and received a real gift from Huang.

Then he raised his hand and asked Huang to sit down.

After sitting down, the three women continued to chat. Zhang Shuilian and Huang were talking about great ambitions in their words, praising their intelligence, sensibility, and diligence in studying.

The message that she conveyed to Yang Ruoqing everywhere is that they are very close to Dazhi and care about Dazhi's younger brother. Using Dazhi as a bond to achieve the ultimate goal of being a family with Yang Ruoqing's adoptive mother.

Yang Ruoqing smiled faintly from beginning to end, not showing much closeness, but not alienation.

When the time is almost over, Yang Ruoqing, Zhang Shuilian and Huang said goodbye.

When she got up, Yang Ruoqing suddenly said to Zhang Shuilian: "By the way, Shuilian, your uncle and I will go back to the village tomorrow. We have too much family affairs and we don't have time to entertain you and Daqiu."

"I will give you the gift I gave to Dazhi later. You and Daqiu will take you back. The ship back to Yangzhou, your uncle has already found it for you,"

"The money has been paid. You can go back to the restaurant later and clean up first. The boat will be started in the next day. You can go back to Yangzhou earlier, and your mother will be relieved sooner." Yang Ruoqing said.

Hearing this, Zhang Shuilian was delighted.

She didn't care whether to go to Changping Village or not. What she cared about was the gift from Yang Ruoqing and his wife to Dazhi to pass the scholarship.

Since there are quite a few congratulatory gifts and the travel expenses for the trip back have been paid, my cousin also agreed in advance that as long as she can successfully make Yang Ruoqing come out and let her cousin recognize her relatives and Yang Ruoqing, she will be able to return a hundred taels of silver.

As for whether you can climb up to Yang Ruoqing in the future, it depends on your cousin and the others' ability.

I recovered a principal of 100 taels of silver, scavenged my cousin's jewelry, and had four or five taels of silver given by Yang Ruoqing, and a gift to Dazhi. This trip was not in vain!

So Zhang Shuilian nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, how do you arrange it, Daqiu and I do whatever you want, and everything depends on my aunt."

Yang Ruoqing smiled meaningfully, and glanced at Huang, who was standing respectfully on the side from the corner of her eyes.

Huang received Yang Ruoqing's gaze and nodded to Yang Ruoqing secretly. Yang Ruoqing curled her lips before turning around and leaving with satisfaction.

People who are insatiable should give hope first, then let them down, and end up having nothing. This is the best punishment for them.
