The waiter brought the food, and Wang Yu took the opportunity to ask the waiter to find an older person to inquire about something. If he had some money, the waiter immediately went to do it diligently.

When the two of them were halfway through eating, a thin man in his 50s or [-]s came over. With a roll of his eyes, he knew that his nephew was right. These two were distinguished guests, and they would naturally have their benefits if they were well served. He smiled flatteringly and said: "You two young masters, what do you want to inquire about? I have lived in this town since I was a child. Nothing can escape my ears."

Seeing Wang Yu nodding to him, Jiang Yingwu took out the broken silver from his sleeve and put it on the table, saying, "As long as you satisfy me, this silver will naturally be yours."

The thin man squinted his eyes and saw that there were about two or three taels of broken silver. He wanted to grab it and put it in his mouth to bite it to make sure it was clear. His eyes widened with a smile and he said flatteringly: "Don't worry, young master, I know everything."

Jiang Yingwu's upright temperament did not like to deal with such people, but he was not a scholar who only knew how to study and had no knowledge of what was going on outside the window. He asked with a sullen face: "How many silk and satin shops are there in this town? Did you know that there was one ten years ago?" Which family moved out of town to develop elsewhere?”

Wang Yu propped up his chin and listened with interest, thinking that he would finally know Brother Jiang's purpose. Could it be that Brother Jiang had his eye on some other young lady?

The skinny man's eyes lit up and he felt very happy. He had decided on the money and said happily: "I may not be able to explain the other things clearly in detail, but I know this very well. We can sell it in this town." There are only three shops that sell silk and satin. Two of them have not changed owners in decades. The remaining one is different. What a coincidence. Please take a look outside. The Zhao's shop opposite just changed its owner seven years ago. Did the owner change his name?"

Jiang Yingwu and Wang Yu immediately looked out the window. The plaque of the shop opposite was written "Zhao's Silk and Satin". The shop was large in size and divided into upper and lower floors. Jiang Yingwu had walked through it before, and this shop was the largest of the three. , but the number of customers who come to the door is the least, and the business is not as good as the other two in the center of the town.

Jiang Yingwu turned around and said, "Seven years ago? Not ten years ago?"

The thin man laughed and said: "They had to dare to change ten years ago. The Zhao family didn't have the courage at that time, but later they became more and more courageous. Isn't it because their family raised a good sister, Zhao Jin?" That bastard brags about how capable his sister is all day long. Damn it. With a guy like Zhao Jin, this shop will fail sooner or later. I don’t see how many people come to do business now. Who else will? I don’t know what their family is doing, but it’s a shame that the Zhao family dares to wander around the town all day long.”

Jiang Yingwu was not happy when he heard the foul language. He frowned and said, "Hurry up and get to the point."

The thin man was scolding happily. When he saw that the customer was unhappy, he quickly stopped and continued with a smile: "Everyone in the town who is a little older knows that this shop actually belongs to the Yu family. It is a pity that the old man of the Yu family has a bad life. , my wife died early, and he was the only one who raised his only sister. Many people said behind his back that he was stupid. If they had remarried early, they could have given birth to several boys. But the old man of the Yu family took that sister Treating it as a treasure, he picked it up and recruited a white-eyed wolf to marry his sister as her husband. At that time, countless people in the town envied the lucky boy. "

The thin man was also one of the envied people back then. The Yu family's sister was good-tempered and docile, and the Yu family had a lot of money. She was like a pie falling from the sky. That boy was envied by many people. "The boy from the Li family was originally a waiter in the store. He was taken aback by Mr. Yu and cultivated vigorously. However, only two years after the boy from the Li family entered the door, Mr. Yu died. This is good, the boy from the Li family Immediately, he brought a concubine with a big belly into the house. Do you know who that concubine is? Haha, isn’t it the sister of his family that this bastard Zhao Jin brags about all day long? Zhao Jin’s son thinks that someone doesn’t know about them. The little information about the family was due to the help of a shameless concubine. The result was good. Sister Yu was angered to death by them, and Li Xiaozi left the town with his family, and the shop was occupied by the Zhao family. Went there. Three years later, the signboard was changed, and I have never seen such a shameless person."

Jiang Yingwu's face turned gloomy. It turned out that the Li family, Zhao family, and Yu family had such a past hidden behind them.Li Cheng, the eldest lady of the Li family, should be the child left by the wife of the Yu family, right?It was an honest and upright identity, but due to the deliberate publicity of some people, it was given an unknown origin.

What a Li family!What a sanctimonious Li Wenqing!It was in vain that he used to regard him as his uncle and respected him as a person, but he was also blind.

Wang Yu smiled playfully. Brother Jiang's future in-laws would be named Li, and the wife of the Li family would be named Zhao. In this case, the bad reputation of the eldest lady of the Li family and the things that happened would be worth it. People speculated.

Huh?How could Brother Jiang know that there were these unknown things behind the Li family?He even came to Qingyi Town to investigate, but he didn't believe that no one had mentioned anything behind this.

The thin man didn't notice the expressions of the two young masters opposite him. He took the opportunity to talk non-stop: "The most shameless one is the boy from the Li family. No one in the town knows what is going on with the Yu family. It's an understatement to say that the family is rich. , Mr. Yu only guarded this shop and did not expand his business because he had a sister on his knees. It was a pity that he had looked at people all his life, but in the end he had misjudged it and chose such a supercilious look for his sister. Wolf. As soon as Mr. Yu died, all the Yu family's property became his Li family's. Not only did he bring a concubine into the house, but even the baby born to the sister of the Yu family was named Li. Wow, let me tell you, that baby With the blood of the Yu family flowing on my body, I don’t know if I can live long..."

"That's enough!" Jiang Yingwu snapped.

The thin man was so excited and selfless as he spoke. The scolding made him tremble. He bowed his head and admitted his mistake. However, out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the broken silver on the table. He had said that he would not do useless work after talking so much.

Jiang Yingwu waved his hand feebly: "Take the money, and there is no need to announce today's matter to the outside world, otherwise you are the only one to ask."

"Yes, I understand. I will definitely keep it secret." The thin man ran up happily, took the money into his arms and turned around to run away, fearing that someone would stop him and take the money back.

"Brother Jiang?" Wang Yu called out tentatively, seeing that Jiang Yingwu was in a bad mood.

Jiang Yingwu smiled bitterly and said, "Now you know my purpose. Brother Wang, tell me, how dare I, Jiang Yingwu, get married to such a despicable and shameless family? Although my mother is strong, outsiders think she is shrewd. It’s not like you haven’t seen through the Li family yet.”

Wang Yu patted his shoulder comfortingly. It was uncomfortable for anyone to have this kind of thing happen to him.The Jiang family is different from the Wang family. The Wang family is a wealthy family in Anqing County, and there is also a lot of trouble in the family. The Jiang family has a simple environment. Although it has improved slightly in recent years, there are more people visiting Anqing County. But I don’t know the depth of the inner house. If the Li family deliberately wants to hide something, how can the Jiang family know.

Now that I think about it, the Li family either moved to Dechang County to a neighboring county further away, or they didn't want their affairs to be known.If those people in Anqing County knew how the Li family got rich, would Li Wenqing still be able to live like a fish in water in Anqing County and have such a good reputation?Even his twins had to be pointed out, but they were just pretending to be concubines.
