Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

After the cold dew, there will be frost. The area around Nanguan Mountain is colder than other places because it is a mountainous area. Frost falling on the roof beams is like a layer of snow.

Even the strongest sunshine in the afternoon is cold.

Under the careful care of Bai Sanzhuang at home, the injury on his back gradually healed.

During the period when he was recovering from his injuries, Huaicheng's business was unexpectedly good under the care of his cousin Du Nian.

The shop business in the town has also resumed as before.

Recently, Du Nian wrote a letter to Bai Sanzhuang, mentioning that a man surnamed Yan with burns on his face came to the store to pay back the money. He said that his owner was Cheng Mei, a businessman from the capital, and he introduced a Single big business.

Regarding this big business, Du Nian couldn't make up his mind, so he wrote to ask Bai Sanzhuang for his opinion.

Because this business involves shipping, I have to go to Nanyang.

The person surnamed Yan with burns on his face was the same person who was rescued by Bai Sanzhuang at the steamed stuffed bun shop the last time he went to Zhou's house in Huaicheng to attend Mrs. Zhou's birthday banquet.

Just because it was a trivial matter, Bai Sanzhuang didn't take it to heart.

Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be Cheng Mei's silk business steward.

In order to prove that he was under Cheng Mei's command, Yan Steward deliberately left a token symbolizing the Cheng family's business territory.

Speaking of Cheng Mei's business map, no businessman in the world knows it.

But Cheng Mei is very mysterious. She seems to have appeared out of nowhere. In just a few years, she opened up a sea trade route, selling porcelain and silk to the vassal states around Nanyang, and selling the spices from the vassal states to mainland China. summer.

Thus becoming the richest woman in Daxia.

Cheng Mei not only did business, but also found out about the vassal states in Nanyang, resolved the conflicts in the vassal states, and suppressed the rebellion in the vassal states.

Even the empress dowager of the current dynasty praised her as a heroine, and specially gave the imperial merchant a silk banner to hang on the merchant ship.

Bai Sanzhuang was naturally very willing to do business with such a richest woman.

But if Du Nian were to go to Nanyang, he would be very worried.

If you go by yourself—

It's not that he hasn't mentioned it before. He mentioned before that he wanted to go to Sichuan to make a living, but his father's fierce opposition was still in his ears.

Not to mention Nanyang.

After all, he had just experienced a treasonous frame-up.

If you go to Nanyang at this time, the old man has to tie himself up and watch.

But if I don’t go, I’m not reconciled.
Bai Sanzhuang was caught in a dilemma.

"Third brother, what are you thinking?"

When Xiao Fuyuan came back from the private school, she saw the third brother sitting on the porch with a sad face on his face, she didn't even hear the third brother calling a few times, so she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"My sister is back." Bai Sanzhuang came back to his senses, and found his sister's big black and white eyes staring at him, and grabbed her small hand dangling in front of his eyes.

"I called third brother several times, but third brother didn't respond." Xiao Fuyuan said.

At this time, Bai Dazhuang came back from working in the mine. Hearing this, he said sourly to the third son of the Bai family: "I think the third brother did it on purpose to get my sister's attention."

"Big brother is back." Xiao Fuyuan smiled sweetly at her big brother.

The elder brother's face eased.

"Sister, come, let the eldest brother give you a hug, and ignore your third brother." Bai Dazhuang stretched out his hands towards Xiao Fuyuan.

"Brother, you are covered in dirt and you want to hug your sister, be careful not to hit you." Bai Sanzhuang stabbed his brother with a knife.

Xiao Fuyuan: "..."

Stop it, the topic is off track, she is concerned about the third brother's mind.

"Third brother, what's on your mind?" Xiao Fuyuan asked.

When Bai Dazhuang heard his sister's question, he dropped his tools and said, "Third brother, let me tell you what's on your mind."

Bai Sanzhuang was also about to ask his sister if he wanted to go to Nanyang.

So she put away the smile on her face, and asked Xiao Fuyuan seriously: "Sister, I want to expand the business of our shop, but I need to go to Nanyang. Do you think the third brother can go to Nanyang?"

If his sister said no, he would give up the idea, even if Cheng Mei came to invite him personally, he would still refuse.

Bai Sanzhuang has already made plans.

"Third son, I advise you to give up this idea. Last time you went to Shuzhong, our father didn't agree, not to mention going to Nanyang, father will definitely not agree this time." Although Bai Dazhuang didn't know the exact location of Nanyang, he usually I have heard a little, and know that it is a place farther away than the middle of Sichuan. It is said that during the natural disaster, many people in Yangfeng County who were disaster-stricken went to Nanyang to seek life with merchant ships that appeared out of nowhere.

The third brother wanted to go to Nanyang for some reason, and it wasn't that his shop was not doing well. Now that the shop was in full swing in Huaicheng, why did he go to Nanyang where he didn't know the exact location for business.

If something goes wrong, what should the third sibling and the unborn child do?
"Third brother, our shop is earning enough now, and there is no end to it. I advise you to stop thinking about going to Nanyang."

Bai Sanzhuang didn't answer his elder brother's words, but watched his younger sister's reaction nervously.

Xiao Fuyuan thought about it seriously before saying, "I think third brother can go to Nanyang and make a lot of money."

Bai Sanzhuang's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes, what my sister said is right, to make a lot of money. Our shop is not enough now, and we will save money for my sister's dowry in the future. How can the current money be enough?" Bai Dazhuang immediately gave up his position when he heard that his sister not only did not object but supported , Raise your hands against it.

Xiao Fuyuan expressed that she is used to the big brother's mindless support.

"Third brother, don't worry, if daddy opposes me, he can convince daddy." Bai Dazhuang said with a vow.

"How does elder brother persuade father? What's the reason?" Bai Sanzhuang asked.

"The reason is that my sister said that you can go to Nanyang." Bai Dazhuang said.

Bai Sanzhuang: "..."

Xiao Fuyuan: "..."

After dinner, the Bai family gathered in Mrs. Bai's room to gossip as usual.

Under Tian Maimiao's gaze, Bai Sanzhuang mustered up his courage and said, "Daddy, dad, mom, I have something to discuss."

In the evening, Bai Sanzhuang and Tian Maimiao talked about Cheng Mei and going to Nanyang, Tian Maimiao agreed with both hands, and said that if she was not pregnant, she would go there in person.

"Why are you negotiating?" Mrs. Bai asked.

"...I want to make our shop bigger. Nanyang is a good place...I want to go to Nanyang. I heard that there is gold everywhere. Besides silk, there are also porcelain business...you can also bring back spices and gems there. ..." Bai Sanzhuang said.

"Third brother is a good idea, I support third brother." Bai Dazhuang said first.

Xiao Fuyuan thought to herself, brother, your support is too strong.

The old lady Bai took a look at Bai Sanzhuang and said, "Who gave you this idea? Why are you going to Nanyang?"

Bai Sanzhuang's heart trembled. Although the old lady Bai was old, she had been living in the village and had never been involved in the affairs of the Bai family's shop, but she was transparent when looking at the problem, and grasped the key point of the problem at once.

"...It's Cheng Mei, a businesswoman..."

Bai Sanzhuang then told what happened.

Apart from Tian Maimiao, it was the first time that Mrs. Bai and the others knew about Cheng Mei, and they were amazed that she, a woman, had created such a large business territory.

"Third brother, how old is Cheng Mei?"

Bai Dazhuang glanced at the third sibling, and asked anxiously.

At this time, he regretted that he supported the third brother without asking clearly. After all, the third brother is also a well-known handsome guy in Nanguan Township. This businesswoman wouldn't covet the third brother's youth and handsomeness, would she?
"Brother, Cheng Mei is the one who doesn't care about the love of his children. Don't say that San Zhuang is just a shopkeeper in Nanguan Town. Even the prince might look down on Cheng Mei." Tian Maimiao guessed what Bai Dazhuang was thinking, and grabbed Bai Dazhuang San Zhuang opened his mouth.

Bai Dazhuang was embarrassed.

But I thought to myself, as long as the third sibling is at ease.
