Pampered and fierce wife: Reborn daughter-in-law has a strategy

"Business Conference? What is that?" Li Xinran raised her eyebrows, feeling that this word was somewhat familiar.

Fu Qingfeng had already inquired about it: "The Business Conference is a grand event held every three years in Yangluocheng. At this time, large merchants from all over the country will come to Yangluocheng to participate in the meeting. At this conference, they will judge based on their profits over the past three years. The first merchant, and within the first merchant, the president will generally be elected by the head of the family. If someone is particularly outstanding, the head of the family may even lose to a clan member. At this time, the family to which the head of the family belongs, Maybe we need to consider changing the owner of the family."

"Oh~" After listening to Fu Qingfeng's words, Li Xinran suddenly realized and remembered where he had heard this word. "The shopkeeper of the Zhao family told Liming Yuan that if he cheated on himself like this, neither he nor the Zhao family would be able to participate in the business meeting. I supported Liming Yuan at first, but instead chose to support Liming Chao. So, the number one merchant this time is the Li family?" Li Xinran asked with raised eyebrows.

Fu Qingfeng nodded: "The past presidents were all from Liming Chao."

"Since when?"

"From the beginning of the first Chamber of Commerce Conference."

"Is the Chamber of Commerce held at dawn?"

"Yes," Fu Qingfeng nodded, "just 15 years ago."

Li Xinran nodded his head lightly with the fan in his hand: "When did Yang Luocheng's spice business start?"

"Before the late emperor, Yang Luocheng's spices had already spread all over the country."

Fu Qingfeng said solemnly.

Li Xinran frowned and fell into deep thought: "That is to say, the rise of their merchants started nearly 15 years ago, which means that those lands have been growing spices for 15 years!" As she said, He slapped the table hard and said, "I am sorry that the emperor has harmed the country!"

She said bitterly: "No wonder after the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, the grain in the granary was almost exhausted! A foolish king has ruined the country, and a businessman has ruined the farmers!"

"General, Miss Li wants to see you." Xiao Ran reported.

Li Xinran was slightly different. She didn't know why Li Ruoruo came to see her at this time, but she turned her head and glanced at Fu Qingfeng, raised her chin: "Invite her in."

Li Ruoruo stood outside the inn with the handkerchief in her hand clenched. She didn't know if this was the right move, but her mind kept thinking about what her mother, Mrs. Xu, said to her two nights ago.

Mother is father's first wife and has always been the envy and admiration of everyone in Yang Luocheng.Xu is gentle, intellectual, tolerant, generous and tolerant.She looks after her husband and raises her children, takes care of the housework, and serves her parents-in-law. No one can fault her.

She had always thought that her mother was very proud of her identity and integrity. Until two days ago, when her father called her to the study, everything seemed to be different.

After she left the study, she fell into deep confusion and helplessness. She asked to see her mother, but was told that her mother had gone out to socialize. She returned to her room disappointed.

But that night, Ms. Xu had someone call her into her room.

That night, the mother's room was exceptionally bright, making her eyes sparkle as if they contained stars in the sky.

After Li Ruoruo saluted, Mrs. Xu drove all the servants out. Only Mrs. Xu's nanny stood guard at the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

"Mother, mother?" Li Ruoruo was a little surprised, but Xu said to Li Ruoruo gently and cheerfully: "Ruoruo, sit down."

After Li Ruoruo sat down, Mrs. Xu came over and asked with some anticipation: "Did your father let you into the study?"

Li Ruoruo nodded: "Mother, do you think I shouldn't go? I..."

"No!" Ms. Xu interrupted her excitedly, "You should go, you should go, Ruoruo, not only should you go, you should also strive for the chance to go next time!"

Mrs. Xu was so excited that she held her face in her hands: "Ruoruo, this is a signal and a hope!" Mrs. Xu's eyes were bright, more like the burning flames of the candles beside her than the stars in the sky.

Vibrant, searing, burning.

"Ruoruo, mother Ruoruo." Mrs. Xu caressed Li Ruoruo's head lovingly, her eyes were bent, and a little tear shone in her smiling eyes.

Mrs. Xu has always been very kind to her children, but she was always nurturing the children of the Li family. But at this moment, Li Ruoruo suddenly felt that she had truly become Mrs. Xu's child, whom Mrs. Xu held dear in her heart.

That night, the lights in Xu's room were on for a long time, and Xu also talked a lot with Li Ruoruo.

"My mother is the youngest child in the family and the one with the most business talent. But after they saw my business talent, they only thought that she could be used as a bargaining chip in the marriage process."

Mrs. Xu looked at Li Ruoruo gently: "You are lucky, Ruoruo, you are my parents' only daughter. As long as it does not affect your reputation, your parents are willing to let you have more freedom. You have also inherited your mother's business talent." , Mom knows. But Mom thinks that the luckiest thing for you is that you met General Li. She changed my father's mind and made you dare to speak. "

She grabbed Li Ruoruo's hand and said seriously and firmly: "Ruoruo, seize this opportunity, don't be afraid of losing, but don't admit defeat, don't be confused, and don't panic, mother will always be your backing, you have the ability, If you can, then seize this opportunity!”

Li Ruoruo bit her lip and asked hesitantly: "Mother, aren't you afraid that my brother and I will compete for the position of the head of the family?"

Mrs. Xu chuckled lightly and touched Li Ruoruo's head: "Silly boy, although I always stay in the backyard, I am not blind or deaf. Today, I am not the same kind of person as Emperor Min. Emperor Min is only concerned about his own three-acre land. , and today’s eyes are on the entire Da Chu, otherwise he would not let General Li leave Kyoto to patrol. What is there to rob as the owner of a merchant. "

Her last words contained some contempt that even Li Ruoruo could detect.

"Mother, please!" Li Ruoruo was shocked, but was stopped by Mrs. Xu gently.

"Listen to me, Ruoruo," she grabbed Li Ruoruo's hand, "not long after you were born, my mother saw that Emperor Min would not inherit the late emperor's rules of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. In the spice business, the Li family has no rivals in the country. This This is an opportunity for the Li family; but now, the rules for scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are likely to be re-established. What you have to do is to hug General Li tightly. Even being a soldier under her is better than being a businessman's daughter. In today's world, a woman must marry a man. My mother would rather let you marry a soldier under General Li than let your father marry another businessman in the name of being a good match. Do you understand? "

Li Ruoruo was a little dazed, but under Xu's expectant eyes, she nodded fiercely: "Mom, I understand."

In fact, she didn't understand. The overload of information made her overwhelmed. Standing at the door of Li Xinran's room, Li Ruoruo's mind became even more confused.
