Zhen Dafu's family returned home in a disastrous defeat. The resentment and unwillingness in their hearts were like the endless waves of a river, but they could not find an outlet. They were so suffocated that their internal organs ached.

Because Shuwen was "scared", Shujie and Shuyao wanted to comfort him, so they had no choice but to let Gao Jin escort Zhen Dafu and the others out of the house on their behalf. Cheng Jin didn't say much and walked quietly ahead to lead the way. She always

The first time I saw Zhen Kebao acting like a handsome young man in front of these maids, I secretly felt funny.

This young cousin is not bad looking, but he must not stand with his eldest young master, otherwise he will be immediately reduced to nothing but a scumbag.

Halfway through, Mrs. Lin suddenly remembered her main mission today - to ask for gifts or gifts. Her husband and son were not able to ask, so she brought her here. Zhen Kebao, the eldest son of the Zhen family, got married, and Xia Zhai became Zhen Zhen now.

How can the most respectable aunt in the family not spend a lot of money? Even if the treasures rewarded by the palace cannot be taken, then Jin Xida and Weiyuan Houfu must have given a lot of good things, right? Give a few things to Zhen

It would not be an exaggeration to give a congratulatory gift to Ke Bao.

Also, I heard that the dragon fruit sold by Wang Xi’s North-South Currency Store is produced in Xia Zhai Zhuangzi. The dragon fruit is a precious fruit and has always been purchased from Western countries. A larger dragon fruit is

It can be sold for three taels of silver. No one has seen this golden egg. Many people have tried to grow it with great efforts, but unfortunately no one has succeeded. They all believe that this kind of fruit cannot be grown in Dazhou.

A year ago, two local dragon fruit companies suddenly appeared in Dazhou. One is a large farm in Qiongzhou in the south, and the other is Zhuangzi owned by the three brothers and sisters of Xia Zhai. The large farm in Qiongzhou produces a larger amount of dragon fruit, but it is shipped to the north.

It's not that fresh when it comes. It's almost the same as what comes from the West. But the dragon fruit produced in Xia Zhai Zhuangzi is big, fresh, and has sweet flesh, and it's more expensive than the one imported from the West. Unfortunately, most of it goes to the capital and sells very well in other places.

Only a few wealthy families who had close business relationships with the North and South Currency House grabbed some.

When Zhen Kebao gets married, if dragon fruit appears at the wedding banquet, how shameless and limelighting will it be?

"Wait, wait, I haven't told them about Bao'er's wedding gift yet!" Ms. Lin muttered and turned around.

Zhen Dafu grabbed her. The force was so strong that she almost fell again.

"Can you please use your brain? Will those two people from the Zhang family allow you to get what you want?" Zhen Dafu glanced at Cheng Jin who was walking in front, lowered his voice and shouted, "I haven't taken anything by then, and I'll give it to you again."

If you spread the word, the whole city will be upset. Shujie will still have some scruples, but Shuwen, that damn boy, came completely sideways."

It has to be said that Zhen Dafu once sobered up for a rare time and understood that once brother Shujie let go of any scruples, there was nothing he could do about it. Before, he thought Shujie was blocking the way, but in fact the two younger ones were more difficult to deal with, and they could easily attack them due to their young age.

Pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, pretending to be powerful, that damn girl Shuyao especially likes to dig up old scores and tear up old skins when there are many people. Also because they are young. As long as they cry or make a fuss, some can take advantage of it. In addition to the previous rumors,

As soon as there is any disturbance, most people will believe that they are being bullied again.

Zhen Dafu is not afraid of being unreasonable. What he is afraid of is Jin Xida, Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and even the Queen Mother. Those two little ones are too daring to make trouble. Looking at the situation of the book today, I am afraid they can cause big troubles.

As big as a watermelon. And if things get serious, the Zhen Mansion will never take advantage of it. Shujie and the others have a way to enter the palace to ask for an audience with the Queen Mother.

Zhen Dafu began to regret that he had not found a way to get rid of Shujie two years earlier. The Shuyao siblings who had no support had already been in his hands. How could they become so arrogant now? But they did not dare to do anything casually.

The Xia family has been so popular in the past two years, and the "reputation" of their Zhen family has been spread so bad. If anything happens to Shujie, they are the first to be found out in the Zhen family. So they waited until Shujie reached the filial period.

I thought about taking him to a far away place, where the mountains are high and the water is far away, and there are many bandits and tyrants on the road. No one can blame him if something unexpected happens.

Who would have known... Alas, the three little brats are becoming more and more slippery now, and they are relying on more and more.

Mrs. Lin also knew that because of the prelude just now, there was nothing she could do about it if she went back, but she was unwilling to give in! Then she thought about it and shouted to Cheng Jin in front of her: "Hey, what is your name Jin? Tell your eldest young master.

, Young Master Cousin needs five hundred dragon fruits to get married, so he asked him to send someone to the Zhen Mansion in advance. I forgot to tell him just now. By the way, we need to pick the big one!"

Zhen Kebao added "kindly and politely": "Chengjin, right? You tell Cousin Jie that there is no need to prepare other gifts. Dragon fruit is enough. We can't buy it before we ask Cousin Jie."

."

Cheng Jin replied crisply: "I am Cheng Jin. I happen to know about the dragon fruit. The eldest young master has a contract with Mr. Wang of the North and South Currency House. Except for the fruits left to the Queen Mother, Mr. Jin and Weiyuan Hou Mansion, all the other fruits are

They are picked and sold by the North and South Currency House. If we pick them privately, we will violate the contract and we will have to compensate the North and South Currency House 5,000 taels of silver. Two days ago, the eldest man of the Xia Mansion wanted to buy a hundred from our Zhuangzi at a cheaper price. This is what the eldest young master did

The answer was yes. Then the eldest master of Xia Mansion was unwilling to pay the five thousand taels, so he gave up."

The "friendly" smile on Zhen Kebao's face froze, and he almost tripped over his left foot and fell forward.

Isn’t this nonsense? Three thousand taels of silver to buy a hundred dragon fruits? Isn’t that nearly twenty times more expensive? Who is willing to pay?

But they have a contract there, and they have reasons to refuse wherever they go, so Wang Xi's North and South Currency Store is not easy to mess with.

Cheng Jin looked "unjust" and regretful: "We, the young master and the girl, can only eat two or three every year. They are specially reserved by Mr. Wang. There are no more than ten in the entire mansion."

"Well, forget it," Zhen Kebao said nonchalantly. Chengjin's reaction didn't seem like he was lying. Shujie and the others didn't know in advance that the three of them were coming, let alone that they wanted dragon fruit. How could they predict it in advance?

Did you teach Cheng Jin something?

In fact, those words were not taught by Shujie or Shuyao. Ever since everyone knew that dragon fruit came from Zhuangzi in Xia Zhai, many people who could not buy dragon fruit, or who wanted to get it cheaper, or even eat the fruit for free, came to ask for help.

The three Shujie brothers and sisters were looking for a purchase, Magistrate Yang, the second wife of Xu Mansion, Xia Mansion, and even Xia Ruoxue from the capital were among these people. Fortunately, Jin Xida had already formulated a unified rhetoric with Shujie and Wang Xi. Cheng Jinhong

Jin and the other maids have already memorized it after hearing it so many times.

Therefore, as soon as Cheng Jin heard that this shameless person in the family was talking loudly, he immediately recited it with more words. Five hundred? It was even bigger. According to the market price, it was 1,500 taels of silver. He really dared to speak! Yes!

Who has ever seen a cousin getting married, a cousin, a nine-year-old child, and a gift of 1,500 taels of silver? And "you don't need to prepare other gifts"? Cheng Jin really wants to use a ruler to measure the shame of this family.

How thick is it?

Mrs. Lin was angry and wanted to say something. Several people came towards her. The woman in charge was dressed in a thin brown brocade dress. She was obviously dressed as a steward mother from a wealthy family. Followed by two little maids and two boys, the boy was pushing a boy.

The car looked better than what the Zhang family had sent just now. Lin's eyes were full of greed and jealousy, and she couldn't wait to pounce on it and take a good look.

The "fiery" gaze made one of the boys pushing the cart snort with disdain and give him a rude look. Where did this short-sighted woman come from? He has been to Xia Zhai several times.

Never seen it.

Mrs. Lin was still immersed in her reverie about the car, and did not notice the contemptuous snort of the boy. However, the faces of Zhen Dafu and Zhen Kebao instantly turned red like stewed prawns. They secretly cursed Ms. Lin for being embarrassed.

Cheng Jin greeted her enthusiastically: "Mother Ke, you're here. Our girl was still talking about it a few days ago, saying she hadn't received a letter from Sister Nangong for a long time."

Mother Ke also smiled and responded: "Isn't it time? Our girl wrote a thick letter to Miss Yao and Master Wen. Are you sending the orange brocade to the guests? We will talk later. I also brought some for you guys.

Gadgets from the capital city.”

Cheng Jin nodded happily: "Thank you in advance, Mother Ke."

Mother Ke had walked a long way, but Mrs. Lin still couldn't bear to pull her eyes back. Zhen Kebao couldn't help but pull her back, and his face was so embarrassing that his mother was embarrassed!

Cheng Jin was secretly amused. The Zhen Mansion also owns two large restaurants. Do you want to look so ugly and greedy?

"Ahem," Zhen Dafu asked casually: "Are those people from the Nangong family? Where do Shuyao and the others know their friends?" He secretly guessed in his heart. It can't be the Nangong family, right? Look at that one

The clothes of Mother Ke and the maid and boy are probably...

Cheng Jin replied: "It's the Nangong family of Huitong Bank. Miss Nangong likes our girl and the second young master very much. She sends people to deliver letters and things every once in a while."

Huitong Bank? Is it really the "richest" Nangong family in the Great Zhou Dynasty? Zhen Dafu and the three of them gasped at the same time. When did the Shuyao sister and brother catch up with the daughter of the Nangong family? Look at the mother just now and Cheng Jin.

Familiar, you must have been here several times, right?

Mrs. Lin was so jealous that her heart ached. What was it about those two sharp-tongued brats that attracted people? How could they be as cute as her Ling'er? How come they were allowed to meet all kinds of good things and noble people? Those people were really blind.

Eye-catching!

After leaving the Xia residence and getting on her carriage, Mrs. Lin was still resentful and muttered: "Why don't you insist on letting that damn boy Shujie go to Qingzhou? What kind of scientific examination should he take? If he really gets any grades, shouldn't we be better?

Is it difficult to deal with him? Besides, we have already negotiated with the Ding family, how can we tell them now?"

"Shut up! Otherwise, get out of the car." Zhen Dafu almost reached out and grabbed Mrs. Lin's neck.

Zhen Kebao didn't want to help this brainless girl anymore. It seemed that every time everything happened, it was her fault, and then she didn't even know it, and she didn't know anything.
