Chapter 344 Why not accept this overwhelming wealth?
"A big shot from the capital?" Jiang Youzhen was a little surprised. Could he be from the Second Prince's or the Fourth Prince's factions?
OK! Now we are connected again.
"Who owns this shop now? Are you selling it or not?"
"I don't know!" Qingyan shook her head. "I heard that no one has seen the Chen family's grandmother in recent days. The things in the shop have been moved out a long time ago, but I don't know why there is no news of selling the shop."
Jiang Youzhen hesitated for a moment, "Well, the Chen family has too many problems, so let's look for another one! Go ask the city's pawnbroker tomorrow to see if there is a suitable one. The shop should be big and in a good location."
"Yes!"
Jiang Youzhen has been studying these past two days. It must be said that the prefectural school instructor is indeed knowledgeable, far more than Master Jiang. She used to study casually and mainly relied on herself. But now, after being taught by him for a few days, Jiang Youzhen feels that she has made great progress.
"Recently, there has been rapid progress!" Qian Chongen read Jiang Youzhen's article and became more and more satisfied.
"I would like to thank the teacher for his unremitting teaching. I am grateful forever." Jiang Youzhen expressed his sincere gratitude.
Qian Chongen smiled, "It's good for scholars to be respectful and modest, but there's no need to be too modest. You are very talented and you can understand things at once."
Jiang Youzhen smiled awkwardly, and Qian Chongen asked again: "It's a day off tomorrow, do you have anything to do?"
"The monthly exam is in five days, so students will naturally review their lessons at home." Jiang Youzhen's heart moved. Could it be that something good is coming to him?
"You can't study in isolation. You must know that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Tomorrow, I will make an appointment with a few friends to go to the Fahua Temple to burn incense. It happens that there will be a Dharma Assembly at the Fahua Temple tomorrow. If you have nothing to do, you can go with us."
"Thank you for bothering me!" Jiang Youzhen agreed quickly. He was taking him to a social event!
Anyone who can be with Qian Chongen must also be a great scholar.
"Tomorrow the professor will bring his two disciples with him. They are all fellow students from the prefectural school. You should prepare some study tools. They may test you."
Qian Chongen looked at Jiang Youzhen with loving eyes. This child was very likable and he appreciated this kind of personality. Thinking of his night talk with his wife, his eyes were filled with even more joy.
It was probably a literary exchange meeting, but although Jiang Youzhen had never been to the Fahua Temple, he was happy to go.
After leaving the provincial school, before Jiang Youzhen had time to get on the carriage, he was stopped by someone.
"This is Master Jiang Youzhen, right? I am the manager of the backyard of the Luo Mansion. You can call me Madam Li if you don't mind. Our Third Miss invites you to come over and chat. It won't take up much of your time."
Here it comes again! Is it never going to end? Jiang Youzhen sighed deeply. The mother Li in front of him had a face full of flesh and a fierce look. Was she going to use force when soft tactics didn't work?
Looking at the two strong guards standing behind her, Jiang Youzhen knew that he had no choice but to explain it clearly.
"Miss Luo, just tell me what you want to say!" Jiang Youzhen walked to the front of the carriage and asked through the curtain.
"Sir, I think you have guessed my daughter's intention. Let's be frank. Sir, how much development and how much money can you make by staying in a small county town?"
"What does the girl mean?" Jiang Youzhen asked in a puzzled tone.
"Then the embroidery shop should be decided by you, right? Don't make excuses, I can still tell. Do you want to open the shop in the prefecture or even the capital? Or in the prefectures?"
Luo Shuhuan's voice was full of temptation, but Jiang Youzhen wanted to laugh when he heard it.
"Of course I do. Miss, do you want to cooperate with our Jiang family? Am I right? How much money can you offer? Can you be the boss of the Luo family?"
Luo Shuhuan clenched his fists in the carriage. Jiang Youzhen really looked down on her because she was a girl.
"Miss, you also understand that you need a backer to open a shop in the capital, right? But you are just a girl in the boudoir, how can you become a backer?" Jiang Youzhen smiled slightly and said bluntly.
Luo Shuhuan sneered, "Sir, you really have such concerns, but you must understand that once you find a backer, you will have to pay more. As for the money, if the Luo family can pay, then what is there for the Jiang family?"
What does this mean? You want shares without spending a penny? And judging from what this girl said, she must want a lot!
"Then please seek help from someone else, our Jiang family doesn't dare covet such wealth."
"Mr. Jiang, my grandmother likes the Jiang family's embroidery very much. You know this, right? She wants to see more embroidery."
Luo Shuhuan's tone at this time was very cold, and it was clearly a threat.
Jiang Youzhen laughed in anger. If I don't give it to you, you have to come and snatch it? And what's the point of bringing up the old lady of the Luo family? A lady from a noble family disregarded the family's reputation and actually came to snatch it herself? Do you have any shame?
"I know Tong Huaian. Miss Luo, you know that, right? Why don't you think about why I don't look for Tong Huaian if I want to cooperate with him?"
Luo Shuhuan in the carriage was shocked. The Luo family and the Dingbei Marquis Mansion were old friends, and they were also related by marriage in a roundabout way.
Luo Shuhuan has the original owner's memory. She remembers that Tong Huaian was a frequent visitor to the Luo family when he was a child. Unfortunately, when Tong Huaian was seven years old, his mother died of illness. After that, Dingbei Hou married a second wife, and Tong Huaian did not come to the Luo family often.
Later, it was heard that Tong Huaian was in poor health and his horoscope was still weak. At that time, his second wife was pregnant and they were afraid that he would hurt the fetus, so they sent him to the farm to be raised.
As for why he was later sent to his ancestral home to be raised, she was not quite sure.
Although Tong Huaian was not favored in the mansion, he was still the legitimate son of the mansion. Especially since his elder brother was bedridden and might die one day, Tong Huaian might become the heir apparent by then.
The old marquis of Dingbei Mansion who has passed away had made great military achievements in his time, and the Tong family is a new noble family in the new dynasty, so Tong Huaian's status is not low.
Even if he couldn't become the crown prince, he would still be the second son of the marquis's family. Someone of my status simply couldn't marry him. But if it was his elder sister, she would be worthy of him.
Although I don't want to admit it, in this dynasty where imperial power is supreme, identity is an insurmountable gap.
If Tong Huaian took a fancy to Jiang Youzhen's embroidery shop, the Luo family really couldn't try to snatch it away.
Luo Shuhuan was a little angry. She had made a promise in front of the old lady and specifically said that Jiang Youzhen wanted to climb up the social ladder in her family and wanted to cooperate with the Luo family.
But now things are like this, which is somewhat beyond her expectations, and it makes her very embarrassed.
No! Luo Shuhuan suddenly thought, if Jiang Youzhen really cooperated with Tong Huaian, then she must have used Tong Huaian as a shield from the beginning, so why did she say so much to herself?
"Sir, don't use Young Master Tong as a shield. Young Master Tong and the Jiang family are definitely not in a cooperative relationship at the moment, right? In fact, the power of our Luo family in the capital is beyond your imagination. Why don't you accept this overwhelming wealth?"
Hmm? Jiang Youzhen almost laughed out loud. This girl is really shameless! She wants to take it by force, and she still says it is a huge fortune? Then this wealth is given to you, do you want it?
"If you don't believe me, you can go ask Master Tong!" Jiang Youzhen spread his hands and acted like a spoiled child.
