Farmhouse blessed wife is charming and beautiful

Chapter 197 Chapter 197: Something Happened to the Mu Family (4000 words)
Zhuge Yunni stared, speechless.

Pei Chen's favor is not short of money in her hand, what she wants is unfailing favor, as long as she can win Pei Xian's favor, let alone steamed buns worth five cents a piece, they are even more expensive. She is willing to spend the money.

"As long as Ms. Shen can make the rabbit steamed buns look good, make sure the taste is soft and delicious, and guarantee that 25 eight rabbit steamed buns will be sent to Pei's house on the 680th of the twelfth lunar month, and they will cost five cents each."

Pei Shen readily agreed, which made Zhuge Yunni not only fussy, but also poor, which made Zhuge Yunni even more annoyed.

"Second Aunt, how can you agree, this woman is clearly blackmailing you."

Pei Chenshi smiled indifferently.

"Yun Ni, your uncle loves to eat pasta, and this time I'm celebrating your uncle's birthday again. As long as it pleases your uncle, it's worth the money."

Pei Shenshi's words not only failed to calm Zhuge Yunni's anger, but made Zhuge Yunni even more angry and jealous. She was jealous that Lian Yunyi looked at Shen Qingcheng differently, and that Pei's mansion was richer than the county guard's mansion, but when she thought of her plan To let Pei Chenshi order bunny buns from Shen Qingcheng, she gritted her teeth and closed her mouth.

After Zhuge Yunni finished discussing with Pei Shenshi, Shen Qingcheng said: "Please rest assured, Mrs. Pei, I will guarantee the appearance and taste of the steamed buns sent to Pei's mansion, and they will be delivered early on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, but I have to buy them." Flour, asking someone to help requires money, so I have to collect a deposit of one tael from Mrs. Pei, and the remaining two taels of 440 cash will be collected after delivery, and I will also ask Mrs. Pei Haihan."

"Shen Qingcheng, don't go too far, you haven't handed over a bunny bun to Pei's house yet, why ask Second Aunt for a deposit of one tael of silver?"

Shen Qingcheng said: "Miss Zhuge, as a lady of the sheriff's mansion, you often don't leave the door and don't go out. Maybe you don't know much about the rules of business. It is common for merchants to collect part of the deposit from customers. I didn't charge Mrs. Pei a tael of silver as a deposit to deceive Mrs. Pei, if Ms. Zhuge doesn't believe what I said, you can ask the shopkeepers of several shops to see if there is such a rule."

It was impossible for Zhuge Yunni to go to the shop to inquire, she couldn't answer Shen Qingcheng's words, she stared at Shen Qingcheng speechlessly again in disbelief.

"Hmph, you don't need to show off in front of me that you understand this. Isn't it great to show your face in the market as a woman?"

After a while, she snorted at Shen Qingcheng in order to save some face.

After Zhuge Yunni finished speaking, Shen Qingcheng saw that Pei Chenshi's face changed slightly.

Pei Chen was born in a family of merchants. Since she was ten years old, she learned how to run a shop from her elders, and she often showed her face outside. Zhuge Yunni's remarks just now made such a mockery of the merchant woman, which was equivalent to ridiculing Pei Chen's.

"Chunlan, give Miss Shen a tael of silver."

"Yes."

Pei Chenshi ordered the maid beside her with a somewhat unhappy tone.

Shen Qingcheng took the money and put it into her purse, after thinking about it, she bent down and picked up a cold carbon stone from the stove, and wrote two lines on the oiled paper with the carbon stone.

"Mrs. Pei, here is the receipt. Please keep it. If I can't deliver the goods on time on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and you come to me with this receipt, I will definitely compensate Mrs. Pei for her loss."

Pei Chenshi took the oil paper and took a look at it. The writing on the oil paper with carbon stone was not very clear, but he could recognize the words on it.

On the oiled paper was written an address, delivery date, delivery quantity, and how much deposit she had received.

Small vendors who set up street stalls are generally uneducated and rarely pay attention to these details. Shen Qingcheng considered the matter so thoughtfully, which made Pei Chenshi look at her differently.

This girl can even read.

Pei Chenshi folded the receipt and handed it to the maid beside her with a smile on her face.

"Then there will be Miss Lao Chen."

"Second Madam Pei is too polite."

It was obvious that Pei Chenshi's tone of voice was much better. When Pei Chenshi left, Shen Qingcheng blessed her.

"Second Madam Pei, go slowly."

Watching Zhuge Yunni and Pei Chenshi get into the carriage, Yang Chunfen breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked Shen Qingcheng in a low voice: "Sister Qingcheng, is that arrogant and domineering woman really the lady of the Sheriff's Mansion?"

"Yes."

Yang Chunfen pursed her lips, and watched Zhuge Yunni and Second Aunt leave in the carriage with a straight face.

"Sister Qingcheng, how did you know that woman? Did that woman feel sorry for you before?"

While helping Jun Wulan clean up the stall, Shen Qingcheng responded to Yang Chunfen: "We met each other in Wanhe Building that day, so it's not considered acquaintance, nor is it embarrassing me."

"Sister Qingcheng, you should seldom deal with people like that. It seems that you are a master who will use your status to deceive others."

Seeing Shen Qingcheng's thin arms and legs, Yang Chunfen felt a little worried.

Shen Qingcheng nodded.

"If she doesn't provoke me, I won't take the initiative to provoke her."

Thinking of the delivery on December 25, Yang Chunfen said to Shen Qingcheng: "Sister Qingcheng, it's still far away from December 25. When my brother and I learn how to make bunny buns, we brothers and sisters will help you. December 25 will definitely be on time." Delivery, you don't need to find another person."

Shen Qingcheng turned her face to look at Yang Chunfen, and said with a smile, "I don't intend to find anyone again."

"what."

Yang Chunfen was taken aback.

"Didn't you tell that Mrs. Pei and Miss Zhuge just now that you need to find two more helpers, and the labor cost will increase? You are also brave enough to sell a steamed bun for five cents to that Mrs. Pei. Pei Xian's second wife."

"I lied to them."

Shen Qingcheng whispered: "If that Miss Zhuge didn't find fault with me as soon as she came, I wouldn't sell it to them at such an expensive price."

What she said out of the mouth stunned the sisters Yang Chunhua.

In the impression of Yang Chunhua's brother and sister, Shen Qingcheng has always been kind-hearted, honest and careless. Although Shen Qingcheng's temperament has changed a little now, the brothers and sisters never thought that Shen Qingcheng would take the second wife of the Pei family with the county. The lady guarding the mansion was deceived.

Yang Chunfen's face became very serious, and she said vigilantly next to Shen Qingcheng: "Sister Qingcheng, it's fine for you to tease that arrogant and stupid lady of the sheriff's mansion, but you actually took the second wife of Pei's mansion as well." You have been deceived, that is the second wife of the Pei Mansion, you are dying, if this is the case, don't say it again in the future."

"Does the Pei family have great power in Xiliang County?"

The original owner is not as lively and gossiping as Yang Chunfen, and only knows about the Pei family in Xiliang County through the memory of the original owner. Shen Qingcheng only has a vague impression of the Pei family in Xiliang County, and only knows that the Pei family guards the area of ​​​​Xiliang County from Congwu. He is deeply loved by the people in Xiliang County.

Yang Chunfen said: "Of course the Pei family has great power in Xiliang County. It is said that the ancestors of the Pei family were important ministers of the Canglan Dynasty and held heavy troops. Emperor Xia sent to guard Xiliang County."

These are all Yang Chunfen's hearsay, there may be some untruths, when Yang Chunfen finished speaking, Shen Qingcheng turned her face to the side and looked at Jun Wulan with a questioning look in her eyes.

Jun Wulan didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Seeing Jun Wulan nod her head, Shen Qingcheng immediately knew that everything Yang Chunfen said just now was true.

"It turns out that the Pei family has such a deep background."

No wonder Zhuge Yunni, the woman with eyes above her head, spoke politely beside Mrs. Pei Er.

Yang Chunhua looked at Jun Wulan angrily.

"Since you know that the Pei family has a deep background, and you still indulge Qingcheng's nonsense, aren't you afraid that Qingcheng will offend the Second Mrs. Pei and be embarrassed by the Pei family?"

Jun Wulan glanced at Yang Chunhua, seeing that Yang Chunhua was so excited because he cared about Shen Qingcheng, and he didn't mind Yang Chunhua's attitude when he spoke.

"Pei Xian is not such a small-minded person. As for the Second Mrs. Pei, she was anxious to please Pei Xian when she saw her. Even if Qingcheng said that the bunny buns cost ten cents each, the Second Mrs. Pei would not Order without batting an eye."

Jun Wulan's words made Shen Qingcheng smile happily.

It turned out that this man had seen through it too, and Shen Qingcheng had a sense of happiness of meeting a confidant.

"I just saw that Mrs. Pei's thoughts, and saw that she was very satisfied with the taste of the buns, so I dared to sell her buns for five cents a piece."

Shen Qingcheng thought that Jun Wulan was not angry because of her bold decision, and she was talking with Jun Wulan with a smile on her face.

Jun Wulan suddenly changed his face towards her, frowned and said solemnly: "Don't make such risky decisions in the future, today the Second Mrs. Pei didn't say anything because she didn't lack money and was anxious to please Pei Xian. Other people on the Internet may not be so easy to talk about."

Jun Wulan didn't say this, but Shen Qingcheng knew it well.

Even in order to preserve the reputation of their own cake stand, this kind of high-priced selling can no longer be done in the future.

"Ah."

Shen Qingcheng nodded to Jun Wulan obediently.

Seeing her being so obedient and obedient, Jun Wulan suddenly felt a little guilty, and felt that what he said just now was a bit harsh.

"Qingcheng, I'm not trying to yell at you, I'm just worried about your safety."

"Master, master wife, woo woo woo."

Jun Wulan was apologizing to Shen Qingcheng, when Mu Jianlan suddenly ran to the cake stand crying.

The couple and the Yang brothers and sisters looked at Mu Jianlan together.

Seeing Mu Jianlan's eyes flushed and anxious expression on his face, Shen Qingcheng hurriedly asked, "Jianlan, what's wrong with you?"

After Shen Qingcheng finished speaking, Mu Jianlan plopped down on his knees in front of the bakery stand.

The ground was full of water stains left by the snow melting, and the robe was wet when he knelt down.

Shen Qingcheng hurried forward to help him up.

"Jianlan, what are you doing, if you have something to do, please tell your master well."

Mu Jianlan was pulled up by Shen Qingcheng, who looked at Jun Wulan and twitched his nose anxiously and sadly.

"Master, my father and my mother were kidnapped by bandits in Baiyun Village."

Hearing this, Jun Wulan's couple and the Yang family's brothers and sisters all changed their expressions.

Even Shen Qingcheng knew about Baiyun Village.

Sixty miles away from Xiliang County, there is a mountain called Baiyun Mountain. There is a group of vicious bandits in Baiyun Mountain. Because Baiyun Mountain is difficult to defend and difficult to attack, the government sent troops several times but failed to wipe out the bandits in Baiyun Village. .

"Are you ready to report to the police?"

Jun Wulan frowned tightly.

At that time, the officials who escorted him to Xiliang County took long detours and did not dare to pass by the foot of Baiyun Mountain. It can be seen that the bandits around Baiyun Mountain are not easy to deal with.

Mu Jianlan said: "Grandpa received a letter from the bandits asking for a ransom. In the letter, the bandits said that if Grandpa dared to report to the police, they would tear up the ticket. Grandpa did not dare to report to the police."

"Old Master Mu is now taking the ransom to Baiyun Mountain?"

"Ah."

Mu Jianlan nodded heavily at Jun Wulan.

"Great-grandfather took the housekeeper and several nursing homes to head towards Baiyun Mountain. I didn't think it was safe, so I came to see you, Master."

"When did Mr. Mu leave?"

Jun Wulan's tone was a little anxious.

This kind of vicious bandit is not moral, and Mr. Mu's use of money to redeem people is undoubtedly a meat bun beating a dog and never returning.

Mu Jianlan said: "Grandpa left for about two quarters of an hour. He left in a carriage. Before he left, he ordered his servants to lock me up at home. I managed to escape."

Jun Wulan breathed a sigh of relief.

The road was difficult in snowy weather, the carriage ran slowly, and it took only two quarters of an hour to leave, so it was possible to catch up with a fast horse.

"Qingcheng, I."

Jun Wulan turned around and looked at Shen Qingcheng, feeling a bit difficult to speak.

Shen Qingcheng knew what he wanted to do, so she didn't say anything to dissuade her, she just said: "Master Mu and Mrs. Mu are both good people, Brother Jun, if you want to save someone, go there, I'll wait for you to come back."

Jun Wulan stepped forward and hugged Shen Qingcheng heavily.

"I promise you, I will come back safely. If you are not feeling well, you will go back as soon as possible."

After confessing a few words to Shen Qingcheng, Jun Wulan rode away on the horse Mu Jianlan had prepared.

Shen Qingcheng stared at the direction where he disappeared on the horse for a long time, unable to recover.

Yang Chunfen stood beside her, with one hand gently on her shoulder.

"Sister Qingcheng, you are still worried about your brother-in-law."

"Of course I'm worried."

Only then did Shen Qingcheng turn her gaze back.

Yang Chunfen was very puzzled.

"Since you are so worried about brother-in-law, why did you ask brother-in-law to go to Baiyun Village to save the young master and young wife of the Mu family? Brother-in-law has only taught the young master of the Mu family for less than a month. "

Shen Qingcheng said: "I know how big brother Jun is. If I stop him from going, if something happens to the young master of the Mu family and his wife, he will blame himself for the rest of his life."

"Chunfen, hurry up and help close the stall, let's go home after purchasing."

Shen Qingcheng didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she quickly changed the subject.

The brothers and sisters of the Yang family helped her tidy up the stall and made purchases, so Yang Chunhua drove the carriage, and the three of them went back to Dahuang Village.

"Grandpa, there is the sound of horseshoes."

Several nursing homes of the Mu family surrounded a carriage and were walking on the snow-covered road. When they heard the sound of horseshoes, the hearts of the nursing homes tensed almost at the same time, and they hurriedly reported to Mr. Mu who was sitting in the carriage.

The carriage stopped, and Mr. Mu lifted the roller blind to listen, and found that the sound of horseshoes came from the rear, and he was slightly relieved.

"Don't panic, the sound of horseshoes is coming from behind, maybe it's not the bandits from Baiyun Mountain."
