There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 279 Invitation from the Wang Family (Part [-])
Li Jiaoniang ate the noodle soup with a spoon in her hands, stretched out her left and right arms in turn to roll up Luo Cheng's sleeves.

She proudly talked about what happened at Shi's house this morning.

"Challenge me beyond my control, and want to cheat me and make me lose a lot of money. How can I be so easy to be cheated? Of course I will go back!"

Luo Cheng frowned slightly, "Jiao Niang, the Wang family, how could they give such a big prize? A hundred horses?" Such a sinister Wang family!

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "No, at first it was ten horses. They challenged me and wanted me to make a fool of myself in public, so I added more and multiplied ten times. If you want to play, you can play the big one, or you can't play."

It turned out that Jiao Niang added the lottery, but at the beginning, ten horses were sold out, and that girl from the Wang family didn't feel at ease.

Luo Cheng rolled up her sleeves, looked at her and said narrowly, "Jiao Niang, I don't know how many things you have?"

When chatting with Lu You yesterday, he heard from Lu You that the Wang family is good at ordering tea, but Jiao Niang actually defeated the Wang family girl, which really surprised him.

"There are many more things that I know..." Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "You have been with me for a long time, and you will know."

"Okay, I'll just wait and see Jiao Niang's other skills." Luo Cheng pampered her cheek.

After dinner, Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng sat under the grape arbor in front of the house to watch the moon, discussing their future plans.

"Brother Luo Cheng, have you thought about your future plans?" Li Jiaoniang leaned on Luo Cheng's shoulder, sniffing a sprig of sweet-scented osmanthus in her hand.

I've lived in the city for two days, and I'm not used to it at all. It's better to be in the countryside, where the nights are quiet.

Luo Cheng thought of Lu You's words. Lu You always persuaded him to go to Lin'an, boasting that he had a good background, saying that he would be a scholar within three years after entering the academy.

He doesn't care about talents.

"If Jiaoniang wants to go back to Yunhe County, we can go back anytime. If you don't want to go back, let's go find a shop in the city. You open a medical clinic, and I'll find other things to do."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "There is no rush to open the clinic, there are so many horses now, we should make good use of them."

Luo Cheng didn't think of a good idea, "How does Jiao Niang plan to use these horses?"

"I want to build a freight fleet."

"Cargo team?" This word is very fresh, Luo Cheng helped her to sit upright, "Tell me."

Li Jiaoniang has always had a lot of evil ideas.

"It's a caravan. The south is transported by water, and the north is transported by land. It is a north-south freight business. But in this way, we will have to live a wandering life." Li Jiaoniang frowned.

She regretted that she had asked for the horse, how much trouble would it have saved for Wang Yun's three thousand pennies?
Luo Cheng nodded, "This idea is also good. But then again, there is no rush in everything, let's wait and see."

"Okay, anyway, it's just the two of us spending money now, don't worry." Li Jiaoniang smiled.

She said this in her mouth, but she was thinking in her heart, how about finding someone to manage the caravan?

But where to find someone?
Luo Cheng thought of one thing, and said, "The horses need to eat grass, and they need someone to take care of them. There are so many horses, at least three or five people are needed to take care of them. But this is the Zhuangzi of the Lu family. We put the horses here. If you give them some benefits, the people in Lujiazhuangzi will definitely not let us put them away."

Li Jiaoniang nodded, "I have to discuss it with the Lu family." Tang's stingy person, if he doesn't give her some favors, he will definitely not give her a horse.

Luo Cheng said, "I'll ask Steward Lu. He will arrange the affairs of the village."

Li Jiaoniang said, "Three people will take care of one hundred horses. We'll pay three bucks a month. Just ask if it's okay."

"I'll go."

Li Jiaoniang smiled again and said, "Master Zhuang wants to use horses, they can use them however they want, but they can't lose them, they have to pay for them."

Luo Cheng said, "Give them this benefit, and they will definitely not refuse."

It was still early, and the people in the village hadn't fallen asleep yet.

Luo Cheng found the butler Lu Ji and told Li Jiaoniang what he thought.

It's a good deal for a person to get a consistent amount of money a month, and then use the horse casually.Lu Ji smiled and said, "As long as there is money to take, they will definitely not neglect the horses. I will call someone to ask about it."

There are two families living in the village, a total of eight people.

They are all the sons of the Lu family, and some of them work as errands in the Lu residence in the city.

They are also honest and reliable people.

Lu Ji made a request, and they all readily agreed.

But the horse raising team only needs three people.

Luo Cheng picked three young men.

The Lu family has a monthly payment, and there is still money for showing horses. The three of them said happily, "Don't worry, Master Biao, you must take good care of the horses."

……

After making arrangements for the horses, Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng had breakfast at the village early the next morning, and then went back to the city with housekeeper Lu Zhou and the others in their carriages.

Back in her own courtyard, Li Jiaoniang took a bath and changed her clothes before coming to Old Madam Lu's residence.

A girl had already sent a message in, "Old lady, Mrs. Biao is here."

Li Jiaoniang easily earned a horse team and came back, and her reputation spread in the Lu family.

No one dared to laugh at her as a poor peasant woman.

Before getting rewards from her, it was a false flattery, but this time, it was from the bottom of my heart that I dare not underestimate it.

A hundred horses will be a rich man wherever they are placed.

Li Jiaoniang walked into the main room following the door curtain that the girl was carrying.

The old lady Lu smiled and said, "Are you back? Have the horses settled down?"

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "It's settled, if the old lady needs those horses, just tell me."

The old lady Lu smiled and said, "I don't need it at home for the time being, so let's put it away first." Then she said, "The Wang family has sent an invitation card, and I invite you to go to the palace to enjoy the flowers tomorrow."

Jin Xiu handed over a post to Li Jiaoniang to read.

Li Jiaoniang couldn't help laughing when she received it, this Wang Yun, is this unconvinced by the loss?

Want to lose again?
"Are you the only one invited?" Li Jiaoniang tucked the post into her sleeve and asked Mrs. Lu.

"I also invited your cousin and aunt. When your cousin goes, she will definitely bring Ah Qi with her. It just so happens that with Ah Qi as a companion, you will not be lonely." Old lady Lu said with a smile.

Tang also invited?Wang Yun, what are you doing?
"By the way, Jiao Niang, your performance yesterday was really impressive. Many people praised you. Look, the Wang family will invite you. From now on, there will definitely be many banquets. I have invited people from the city. Your embroidered lady is here to make some clothes for you so that you can go out to dinner in the future."

Make clothes?
This again costs money.

Li Jiaoniang quickly waved her hands, "Old lady, I brought several sets of clothes with me when I went out, and I don't need anything to wear."

She eats and lives here, how can she still use Mrs. Lu's?

Tang's jealous man has to complain again.

"You don't need the money from the public account, it's my money, so you can accept it with confidence." The old lady Lu said with a smile, "You are a junior, and I, an elder, should make a few sets of clothes for you. You can't refuse, just accept it."

Jin Xiu also smiled and said, "Madam Biao, take it. The old lady likes Madam Biao. The old lady doesn't make clothes for the people in the house easily."

With such kindness, Li Jiaoniang couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to accept it.

After talking with Mrs. Lu for a while, Li Jiaoniang came to see Tang Wan again.

Lu You went out now, and Tang Wan was watching the rabbits in the yard accompanied by the girl.

Two snow-white rabbits were hopping and playing on the grass in the yard.

Tang Wan's maid, Lark, is playing with the rabbit with a cabbage leaf.

Li Jiaoniang stepped forward, "Third Cousin, are you feeling better?"

"Is Jiaoniang here? I feel better." Tang Wan took Li Jiaoniang's hand, "Come, let's go into the room and talk."

The two entered the room, and as soon as they sat down, Li Jiaoniang's expression changed.

She saw an invitation on the table in the main room with the word "king" written on it.

The light blue cloud pattern cover and the gold lettering background are very gorgeous.

It's the same as the post Mrs. Lu gave her.

Is it...

"Cousin, which Wang family is this Wang family?" Li Jiaoniang narrowed her eyes and asked.

Tang Wan smiled and said, "Which other Wang family is there? Isn't the Wang family in Yuezhou City the same as the Wang family on Fuya Street?"

Wang Yun's aunt's house!

And Wang Yun is currently living there.

Has the Wang family been in contact with Lu You so early?

"The Wang family's invitation is really exquisite." Li Jiaoniang picked it up and said with a smile, as expected it was made by the rich Wang family, "Can I have a look?"

"It's just a post, you can read it." Logan smiled slightly.

Li Jiaoniang opened it to look, and saw that on the post, it said that Lu You was invited to participate in the poetry meeting.

"It turned out that Cousin Lu You was invited." Li Jiaoniang closed the post, "Will he go?"

"He went out early in the morning and didn't see the post. I don't know if he will go." Logan said.

Li Jiaoniang's eyes flickered slightly, so Lu You hasn't seen Wang Yun yet?
"Jiaoniang, what's the matter?" Seeing Li Jiaoniang lowering her head, looking like she was thinking about something, Tang Wan hurriedly asked.

Li Jiaoniang said, "Oh, I was thinking, the Wang family doesn't have much knowledge, and they invited the third cousin to participate in the poetry meeting, it's not something else, right? For example, considering his academic situation, isn't he going to have a hall test next year?" Well, what if I find out that my cousin is very powerful, and the children of the Wang family are doing tricks secretly?"
