"Oh my third lady!"
Shen Qiao is still three feet away, but her voice has already been heard.
"We haven't seen each other for more than a month, and the little girl misses her so much. It just so happened that my father went to Huyin County, and it happened that the nectar in Huyin County was just right, so I brought some back."
Shen Qiaodie was carrying a delicate little pot in her hand, she came to Zhongli Ruoshui and sat opposite Zhongli Ruoshui.
She put the jar on the table, and happily said, "Huyin County is famous for its nectar, so I thought about bringing some for Miss San to taste. The first harvest of pagoda nectar tastes very good."
Zhongli Ruoshui poured a cup of tea for Shen Qiaodie, with a look of joy in his eyes, he brought the jar over excitedly, lifted the lid and sniffed it carefully.
"Well, it smells so strong of Sophora japonica, so I won't be polite to you!"
"Third Miss will be offended by saying that. Is there anything good in Zhongli Mansion? I'm still worried that Third Miss will look down on you!"
"You, this mouth is sweeter than honey."
"Hee hee," Shen Qiaodie picked up the teacup, "By the way, I've been helping my family with business in Xishi recently, and I've heard some gossip, which I shouldn't have said, but there is a hint of disrespect for Miss San in these words." Your guess, so I am curious, and I want to verify it."
The corner of Zhongli Ruoshui's mouth curled up, did Shen Qiaodie go straight to the point?
"I haven't gone out for a few days, what guesses can those neighbors have about me?"
"It's not that Li Chenan!"
Shen Qiaodie put down the teacup and leaned over, "Those people said that Li Chen'an is going to build a winemaking workshop by the Taohuaxi... Since he can brew Huapingchun in the backyard of the tavern, then build a workshop to brew wine This is very common."
"But those people also said that the fields beside Taohuaxi belong to Miss San, so those people have a different taste for this matter."
Zhongli Ruoshui looked curious, she also leaned over and asked, "What did they say?"
"They said that you sold that piece of land to Li Chenan at a low price, Miss San, and another said that you gave it to Li Chenan, Miss San!"
"In addition, the song "Butterfly Love Flower" that appeared in the literary meeting on March 3rd has been spread by those students, and they all say that the song was written by Li Chen'an. That's why your literary meeting, Miss San, has not been decided. Get the leader."
"So they guessed whether you, Miss San, are really interested in Li Chen'an...I even argued with them about it!"
"Oh... why do you have to argue with those people in the market for such a trivial matter."
Shen Qiaodie murmured, "That rumor will damage Miss San's reputation, how can I turn a deaf ear to it!"
Zhongli Ruoshui laughed, looked at Shen Qiaodie and asked curiously
"Hey, let me say... you don't mean to be interested in Li Chen'an, do you?"
Shen Qiaodie raised her neck, "It's impossible!"
"Qiaodie, don't hide anything between us."
"Although I haven't gone out for a long time, I also heard that the business of his tavern has been very good."
"Also...I'm sure I won't hide it from you, he is indeed building a winemaking workshop by the Taohuaxi."
"I sold that land to him. After all, he helped me on March 3, and he also saved me once in Erjinggou Alley."
"There is no reason why Zhongli Mansion owes favors to others. If I help him in this matter, it can be regarded as repaying those favors."
"But that guy is poor, he doesn't have any money in his pocket, and I haven't received the money yet. It's agreed that he will pay me in two years."
"You have to think about it. Once his winemaking workshop is completed, it will need a lot of grain. Your family is the largest grain merchant in Guangling. Isn't this a matter of mutual benefit?"
"Besides, anyone who has drunk his wine knows that it is better than Guangling Powder. If it is listed, it will definitely defeat Guangling Powder. I am afraid that the ranking of merchants in Guangling City will be re-determined!"
When Shen Qiaodie heard this, she was instantly relieved.
Huo Chuanming's previous guess was not wrong, and his current guess is not wrong either.
The third lady of Zhongli Mansion did owe Li Chenan a favor, but the third lady has already repaid that favor now.
She also encouraged herself and Li Chenan to reconcile the old relationship...then there would be no relationship between her and Li Chenan.
As long as Li Chenan didn't climb the big tree of Zhongli Mansion, the Huo family could choose the opportunity to attack Li Chenan.
Zhongli Mansion will not fight against the Huo family for a little Li Chenan, after all, his future father-in-law Huo Baiyang is a close minister of the prince.
"A good horse doesn't turn his head back. It is absolutely impossible for me to be with him. Let me tell Miss San a secret."
"What secret?"
"The one I really like is Huo Shufan, the grandson of Huo's parents!"
Zhongli Ruoshui pretended to be surprised.
She opened her small mouth slightly, and asked after a while, "That Huo Shufan, one of the three great talents in Guangling City?"
Shen Qiaodie nodded with a blushing face, "Maybe in a few days Shufan will propose marriage to the Huo family when he comes back from the capital."
"Then congratulations, this is the real gifted scholar and beautiful lady!"
Shen Qiaodie's eyes lit up, "Miss San also thinks so?"
"Of course, Huo Shufan will definitely enter the officialdom in the future, and Li Chen'an is just a small businessman. No matter how big his wine business is, he is still just a big businessman."
"No matter how big a businessman is, he is insignificant in front of officials. Qiaodie, you have done a very good deal. In the future, you will be a serious official wife!"
Shen Qiaodie didn't hear the irony in Zhongli Ruoshui's words, she thought it was a compliment to her vision.
"This matter...can only be settled after the Huo family proposes marriage."
"Do you want me to help you?"
"This...isn't so good. I don't think there will be any surprises. Shufan and I are also in love with each other. Besides, the Shen family sells food to the Huo family for a long time, and the relationship between the two families is pretty good."
Zhongli Ruoshui nodded thoughtfully.
"Oh, by the way, if Li Chen'an puts his Huapingchun on the market in large quantities, it will not be good news for the Huo family's Guangling San."
"That's why I came here to ask Miss San about your attitude."
Shen Qiaodie stroked the hair between her foreheads, "If Miss San is really interested in Li Chen'an...then the Huo family has to give Miss San a face even if they don't sell Guangling San."
"I'm just thinking about it. With your looks, talent and family background, Miss San, you definitely won't take a liking to that useless Li Chen'an."
The word "useless" made Zhongli Ruoshui a little unhappy.
But she didn't show it on her face.
On the contrary, it made her feel disgusted with the Huo family and the Shen family.
"The Huo family will definitely attack Li Chen'an with thunderous means. At that time, the Huo family will take over his wine-making workshop... I know that you are not short of money, Miss San, but the Huo family's intention is to double the money you paid for the land. In addition, I will give Miss San 50% of the profit of Huapingchun!"
Zhongli Ruoshui's eyes turned into crescent moons again, "Is there such a good thing?"
"Well, when the time comes, you just need to stand by and watch the play, Miss San."
