Chen Changsheng pricked up his ears and immediately became excited.

"Daju's sister left at a young age, leaving only a girl named Dongya. My niece Dongya is thirteen years old this year. My father-in-law and mother-in-law arranged a marriage for her years ago, and she is ready to celebrate the New Year. Just marry her."

Ma Daqiang sighed again and said slowly, "Who would have thought that there was a sudden drought last year, and the boy from the groom's family met with an accident while going out to look for water and died. It's such a pity.

Daju and I also went to see that young man. He was a very good man, diligent and clever. What a pity. Because of this incident, people in the village said that Dong Ya had a hard life and was trying to conquer her father and mother. They also said that whoever was with her would be unlucky.

She had no choice but to stay at home. My father-in-law and mother-in-law saw that it was not a problem for her to be bored at home every day, so they asked her to come over to see Daju and also take a look at Tiedan and Dongmei's children. "

Chen Changsheng was listening in the car and couldn't help but frown and asked, "Brother Ma, what do you think? Are you afraid of taking Dong Ya over? What if you and Aunt Ma are also unlucky?"

"What a bad luck. Let me tell you, the women in their village are just talking nonsense!" Ma Daqiang drove the car angrily, "I don't know how many people died in their village during the drought last year. Why didn't I see them talking about themselves? Life is hard, and you can control your brother, your brother, your father, and your mother?

Why would you say bad things about a little girl? If you have this free time, why not go to the fields more often and find more work to do? "

While the two of them were talking, they arrived at the county seat. Chen Changsheng and Ma Daqiang parted ways and went about their business.

Seeing that it was still early, she was in no hurry to go to Ruyi Building, so she walked towards Liu Chuan's noodle stall.

Liu Chuan saw a familiar figure and shouted loudly, "Sister-in-law, you are finally here!"

He put down the dough in his hand and came forward, "Sister-in-law Chen, last time you asked Erlu to bring me a message and asked me to find a horse for you. I have already found it."

Liu Chuan took care of Chen Changsheng at the stall every day, always searching for Chen Changsheng's figure, fearing that she would forget about it, but he waited and saw no sign of her.

"Excuse me, Xiaochuan. I was too busy a while ago and didn't even have time to come over."

"It doesn't matter. Auntie, let's go for a walk. I'll take you to see the horses."

Liu Chuan handed the noodle stall to his wife and left with Chen Changsheng.

The horse had already been bought. He and his wife had to do business every day, so they fostered it with the groom. They paid enough forage and fed it every day. The groom drove the horse out for a walk regularly, and the horse was strong.

It was also thanks to Chen Changsheng's generous spending that he asked Erlu to give Liu Chuan twenty taels of silver in advance to specifically use it to buy horses.

After getting the horse back from the groom, Chen Changsheng was very satisfied and sincerely praised him, "Xiaochuan, you have a really good eye for choosing animals. Look at this horse, it's so fat and strong."

Liu Chuan smiled and said, "In addition to my good selection, I also have to thank Auntie for giving me enough money, otherwise I am also a clever woman who cannot make a living without rice.

Auntie, if I remember correctly, don’t you already have a bullock cart at home? Why do you want to buy a carriage now? "

Horses are much more difficult to maintain than large cattle. In addition to forage, they also need to be fed with concentrated feed such as soybeans occasionally, which takes some effort to take care of.

"I'm going to open a sugar factory, and the big scalper at home will come in handy. I can't go back and forth to the city every day, so the delivery task will be handed over to this horse."

The sugar making matter was between her and the Shen family, so Chen Changsheng only mentioned it briefly and then ignored it.

The groom also taught her how to drive the horse, and after Chen Changsheng practiced it for two rounds, she could learn it on her own.

When the two returned to the stall, Liu Chuan's wife had already closed the stall and was waiting for them.

Chen Changsheng saw that it was almost noon and there were many people on the street, so he asked in confusion, "Xiaochuan, seeing that it is almost lunch time, why did you close the stall instead?"

Liu Chuan sighed and said, "I have no choice but to do this. My father is very ill at home and cannot be cared for without someone to take care of him. My wife and I can only go out and do some business in the morning before my father wakes up."

It's almost noon now, and we have to rush home to make lunch, and then go out to continue setting up the stall in the afternoon. "

"Then can you two still make money like this?"

It’s the busiest time at noon, and everyone wants to have lunch. It's past noon. There are far fewer people eating. Liu Chuan, this young couple, has completely missed the peak period.

Liu Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "I can't help it. Who made my father sick at home? He is old, so it's just a day if I can stay with him for one more day. My father still wants to go to the country to recuperate, but our family is a foreigner, so There’s nowhere to go.”

Chen Changsheng understood that when people get older, they always have an inexplicable feeling of missing their hometown.

"Xiaochuan, I have an idea. If you don't mind, you can come to our Chenjia Village. There are several outsiders in our village, and Chen Lizheng is also a very talkative person. I believe that with your character, Xiaochuan, you can convince Lizheng ."

Liu Chuan's face was filled with joy, "Really?!"

Chen Changsheng continued, "How about this? You come to Chenjiacun to find me in a month."

Her sugar factory happened to be built a month later, and she just needed a reliable manager.

She has been dealing with Liu Chuan for so long and has complete trust in his character and ability, making him just qualified for this position.

Farewell to Liu Chuan and his wife, Chen Changsheng headed towards Ruyi Restaurant.

**

Xu Tan and Bai Xiao had already sat down in the private room.

The shopkeeper was also waiting quietly, listening to the instructions of the two adults.

Xu Tan asked the shopkeeper to bring out all the special dishes in the restaurant and ordered another bottle of wine.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Bai Xiao did not stop his friend.

"Brother Bai, I wrote to the Holy One a few days ago, explaining everything here. What do you think the Holy One will reward us?"

Bai Xiao smiled and said, "You have a high position in the Xu family and are married to the Holy One. This time, thanks to the black powder, the Holy One will definitely give you a three-level promotion."

"It's just like being promoted to three levels in a row." Xu Tan curled his lips, "Brother Bai, why don't you tell me, what do you want the Holy Emperor to reward you? Promote you to Jiangzhou Prefecture..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Xiao.

"Brother Xu, please don't talk nonsense. If others listen, I will tell you to speculate on the holy intention."

"There are only us here, no one else. But Brother Bai, you are right."

As soon as the two of them finished chatting, the shopkeeper announced Chen Changsheng's arrival outside.
