Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

Hearing the footsteps, the men still had no intention of stopping, punching hard to the flesh.

Chongyang huddled in the middle, looking numb. He suddenly froze when he saw Jiang Yuzhu behind the man.

"stop!"

Red Carp shouted angrily.

Several men paused in unison and turned around. Seeing women appearing in the alley, their smiles became even more obscene: "Hey, a servant who betrays his master is still in love? I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it!"

"Young lady, your skin is white and tender, and you are pretty. Why don't you follow your brother?"

Everyone was working hard nearby and didn't know Jiang Yuzhu and his party at all, so they were extremely presumptuous.

Jiang Yuzhu didn't say a word more, but made a gesture.

Hong Jin understood, ducked and dragged Chongyang out, picked up the stick on the ground and headed towards the man.

Soon, the voice of crying father and mother came from the alley: "Auntie, we took money and were ordered by others, and we usually have no grievances or enmities!"

Hong Jin raised his eyebrows, but his subordinates kept asking: "You were beaten because you were disrespectful to my wife, and you haven't found the reason yet?"

Jiang Yuzhu glanced at it and turned her attention back to Chongyang: "Why are you here?"

Chongyang's clothes were in tatters, his face was bruised and bruised, and his nostrils were bleeding. He wiped it casually with his sleeves, stood up with support on the wall, and reluctantly saluted Jiang Yuzhu. His voice was not much louder than a mosquito: "Thank you, madam, for saving me. "

After finishing speaking, Chongyang limped and left the alley.

Red Carp immediately shouted: "Stop!"

Chongyang slowly came back to his senses with a dull expression: "Is there anything else?"

"Our lady is asking you something!"

Hong Li put his hands on his hips, raised his head and said, "Don't be ungrateful!"

Chongyang hesitated for a moment and said: "The youngster was kicked out by the Zhao family after betraying his master. He lived in a shed in a courtyard in the north of the city and made a living as a handyman."

Jiang Yuzhu saw Chongyang's embarrassment and asked, "Do you regret it?"

Chongyang smiled bitterly: "Younger ones don't know either."

If he had it to do over again, everyone under him would be so talkative and still seem to be unable to do anything.

Chongyang hated the young master for giving up everything for a woman, but in the end he became a joke.

Wei Jing did her best without leaving a trace and played Zhao Zhe around so much. Even on the day of her exile, she still watched operas and listened to music at home and did not go to see Zhao Zhe for the last time.

"Chongyang, are you staying in the capital to find an opportunity to avenge Zhao Zhe?"

Jiang Yuzhu's tone was calm, not deliberately emphatic, but it gave people an unquestionable power.

Seeing Chongyang's incredulous look, she knew she had guessed correctly.

After a long while, Chongyang lowered his eyes and said, "I never told you, how did you figure it out?"

Chongyang is different from the servants in the Zhao family. He is not a son of the family, but was picked up by Zhao Zhe on the Double Ninth Festival more than ten years ago.

From then on, Zhao Zhe took Chongyang with him to study and practice calligraphy, and did not use the rules of servants to restrain him.

"The young master is as generous as a mountain to the little ones, but the villains..."

The Double Ninth Festival is very bitter. On the day when the young master killed Jia Xinglin, he did not know about it in advance and did not even have a chance to take the blame.

Jiang Yuzhu took a look at the sky and decided to keep the story short: "You should know that in your current situation, there is no chance of contacting Konwei Jing, so how can you talk about revenge?"

"Even if we are in the capital, the north of the city is far away from the inner city, let alone one or two years, even five or ten years, you will not find an opportunity."

Jiang Yuzhu's words were like a thorn, piercing into Chongyang's heart.

Chongyang fell to his knees and said, "Madam, please show me a clear path."

"I will help you take care of Wei Jing. You only need to work for me for ten years. How about that?"

However, it is not in the capital, but in the border town of the North.

"In Beidi, if you work hard on errands, you can still take care of Zhao Zhe. Don't worry, I won't care about this."

Jiang Yuzhu was very optimistic about Chongyang and gave him a chance to turn around.

After hearing this, Chongyang knelt down gratefully and said: "Madam, I will go about my errands with peace of mind and live up to you!"

On Chongyang, he knelt down devoutly and kowtowed three times.

After the two of them agreed, on the carriage back to the inner city, Hongli started to get entangled again: "Madam, why do you like Chongyang? A servant who is carrying his master's back must feel uneasy."

From Zhao Zhe's point of view, he was indeed betraying his master.

Being a servant does not require justice, only obedience and thinking about the master at all times.

"If you want to kill someone, my slave will hand you a knife and help you stab it. If it is revealed that I will take the blame, you will not expose your master even if you die."

Hong Li couldn't understand the logic of Double Ninth Festival and muttered.

Hong Jin also echoed: "Why do you like him?"

Jiang Yuzhu leaned lazily against the car wall and said calmly: "It's not his fault. He studied more during Chongyang Festival than Zhao Zhe."

If you read more, you will inevitably have the scholar’s ​​character and self-righteous sense of justice.

Regardless of whether this matter was right or wrong, Jiang Yuzhu didn't bother to argue. She only looked at the use value.

"Chongyang once helped Zhao Zhe manage a horse racing business, and the profit tripled within half a year."

Chongyang has an upright temperament. Even if he is in such a miserable state, he is still making money openly.

Some people are just like this and can't change it.

"The border town in the North wants to open up trade with the barbarians. This is a big business opportunity."

After Princess Yutan learned about it, she first sent the news to Jiang Yuzhu.

Although it has not been announced yet, it is already a certainty.

Jiang Yuzhu seized the business opportunity to open a shop and needed his own manpower.

People need to be reliable, smart, and capable.

Today she saw Chongyang and found that Chongyang met the conditions and was within her control.

Hong Li poured a cup of tea and held it with both hands: "Madam, there has just been a truce between the barbarians and Daqi, how can they open up trade? Besides, the barbarians are bitter and cold, there is no good thing, they are just taking advantage of me, Daqi."

Jiang Yuzhu chuckled: "So you can't even leave your wife's business to you, otherwise you'll lose everything!"

In recent years, the barbarians have been ready to take action, and the border towns in the north have gone to war from time to time.

Now Daqi has temporarily gained the upper hand, but the treasury has been empty due to successive wars, and both Daqi and the barbarians can't bear it.

The two countries conduct trade for mutual benefit.

"Don't underestimate the barbarians. The barbarians have the best horses, can slaughter beef cattle, have thick fur, and have a natural jade mine. There are many, many..."

Not to mention anything else, there are stalls for cattle in Daqi. You have to go to the Yamen to register for slaughtering old cattle and mutilating them.

Farmers never regard cows as livestock, but as strong laborers for the family, and they have deep feelings for them.

Even if the cows are old and can no longer plow the fields, the people are reluctant to slaughter them, but keep them at home to support them until they die.

As the much-loved daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, Jiang Yuzhu ate beef only a handful of times. Every time she was in charge, she had to go to the black market to buy it, and it was easy to buy sick cows.

"We have experience in Chongyang Festival. Let's open a shop in the North that won't attract attention and make a fortune in silence."

The Jiang family was too high-profile, and Jiang Yuzhu was never at ease, worried that one day her wealth would be stolen again.

To prepare for a rainy day, she had to develop her own manpower as soon as possible and make something happen.

If something unexpected happens one day, the Jiang family will not be beaten until they have no way out.

Saving more money secretly is the greatest confidence!

Hong Li looked in admiration and said with a red face: "Madam, you are really amazing!"

Hong Jin was thinking more long-term: "If we are looking for help secretly, Liang An by the master's side is not bad, and he is easy to dispatch. He and the slave have talked about grilling fish several times!"

Hongjin has developed Liang'an as Xie Zhao's spy, and the only thing left is to give him a benefit.

"It's easy to make grilled fish, and it goes very spicy with rice, but ordinary fish can't compare to the fat fish in the Weijia Villa Lake..."

Jiang Yuzhu showed a trace of aftertaste. Just after returning to Xie's Mansion, the servant in the kitchen said: "Second Young Master Jiang is here and brought you two big fish and a plate of scrambled eggs."

In addition to these, there are also two newly tied feather dusters.
