Travel through time and become the wronged stepmother

Mr. Bai led the way, while Jiang Luorou and the others followed closely behind.

Passing through the winding and quiet corridor, we came to a magnificent hall.

Then he saw Du Ruo, who was wearing a lilac-colored embroidered dress and a jade hairpin on her head, waiting there early.

At this time, Du Ruo also saw Jiang Luorou and others from a distance, and quickly stood up to greet them with a smile, "Come in and sit here, I'll forgive you for the lack of hospitality."

After some courtesy, the few of them sat down and began to use their chopsticks to enjoy the delicacies on the table.

Ningtang didn't know that a wealthy family had to abide by so many rules when eating, so he could only take small bites of the food in front of him.

I was afraid that if I did something wrong, Jiang Luorou would lose face.

That meal was eaten with fear of hands and feet, and it was tasteless.

All he wanted was for the banquet to end quickly so that he could go out and buy a bowl of noodles to enjoy himself.

On the other hand, Jiang Luorou didn't have so many worries. Fortunately, she had learned a few tricks from Mo Niang beforehand and was able to deal with such a situation with ease.

After three or five rounds of toasting, the conversation became casual.

The first sentence was about chatting, and the next sentence was about swimming in the water.

From poetry and poetry to philosophy of life, luckily Jiang Luorou was a college student and knew a little bit about it, so she was able to explain everything in detail.

"Mr. Bai, I think the oranges you have here are very good. It happens that my sister-in-law is pregnant and is very happy. Can you sell some to me if it's convenient?"

"And the fresh milk in that bowl is sweet, smooth and delicious. I wonder where it comes from?"

It's best if you can bring me some cows, milk tea, cakes, milk pudding... I'm here.

Thinking of this, Jiang Luorou's saliva flowed out of the corner of her mouth. She had no choice but to pick up a piece of braised beef brisket to satisfy her craving.

When Mr. Bai heard what Jiang Luorou said, he immediately opened his mouth and replied: "If Boss Jiang likes those oranges, he can just take a basket with him later. It's not a valuable thing and there's no discussion about whether to buy it or not."

"As for the fresh milk, it is produced by a black and white cow from a foreign country. Since this cow came from a foreign country and traveled across mountains and rivers, the price is naturally more expensive."

Then Mr. Bai lowered his head in silence as if he was thinking about something else. He paused for a while and then raised his head again and said, "If Madam Jiang sincerely wants it, I will charge you a friendly price of 150 taels of silver for a cow."

"You just need to tell me the amount, and I will ask Bai Cai to bring it to you next time I purchase the goods. It won't be too late to give you the money after you inspect the goods."

Jiang Luorou was shocked when she heard that a cow actually cost 150 taels of silver, but thinking about the oranges that cost taels of silver each, it didn't seem so unacceptable.

Jiang Luorou held her chin with one hand and tapped the table rhythmically with the other.

After a long time, his eyes fell on Mr. Bai, and then he said with a smile: "Mr. Bai, I need two males, eight females and ten cows."

Mr. Bai nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Bai Cai who was standing to one side.

"Have you taken note of all Mrs. Jiang's requests? If you dare to make any mistakes, look carefully at your skin."

When Bai Cai heard his master's instructions, he hurried to the dining table, nodded and bowed in assurance.

"Master, you can rest assured that I will choose the best for my little job and there will be absolutely no mistakes."

Master Bai heard Bai Cai's assurance and didn't say much. He just returned a faint look, and Bai Cai retreated to a corner.

Mr. Bai then greeted a few people at the table and continued eating and drinking.

About another quarter of an hour passed, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, the banquet ended.

Mr. Bai then led Jiang Luorou and Jiang Luorou into a study room to check each other's account books.

Seeing that there was no problem, Mr. Bai called to Bai Cai who was waiting outside the door.

"Go and take the right cards to the warehouse to pay a 4-tael silver check and give it to Boss Jiang."

Bai Cai received the order and respectfully took the pair of cards from Mr. Bai's hand and took the order to retreat.

When Ning Tang on the side heard 4 taels of silver, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

His mouth was wide enough to fit an egg in, and he glanced back and forth at Jiang Luorou.

That incredible look in her eyes seemed as if she had never known Jiang Luorou before.

"I knew this sister-in-law was a money-maker, but I didn't expect her to be so profitable."

"No wonder she said she can afford oranges even if they cost 20 taels each, or even 200 taels each." Ning Tang was immersed in his own imagination and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Not long after, Bai Cai came to the study with a pair of cards and a thick stack of banknotes.

Bai Cai first handed the cards into Mr. Bai's hands, and then respectfully came to Jiang Luorou, bent down and presented the banknote in his hand.

"Boss Jiang, can you please count this number?"

Jiang Luorou then stretched out her thin white hands to take the banknotes and counted them carefully.

Seeing that there was no shortage, he stood up and bowed lightly.

"I feel really sorry to have bothered you for so long since I came here today. Since the matter has been settled now, why don't we just say goodbye and talk again when we have time in the future."

At this time, Ning Tang, who was standing aside, finally regained his composure and stood behind Jiang Luorou.

Mr. Bai knew that it was inconvenient to keep the two of them longer, so he called Bai Cai to send them out again.

Jiang Luoren and Ningtang walked out of the Bai Mansion under the leadership of Bai Cai. After saying a few polite words to Bai Cai, they turned around and entered the Bai Mansion.

Not long after, a servant brought Jiang Luorou's carriage and handed the reins to Ning Tang.

Jiang Luorou opened the curtain and was about to get in the car when she smelled a faint fruity aroma.

Then his eyes moved to the car, and he saw a basket of oranges placed in the car.

There is also a large jackfruit and a large wine jar on the other side.

Looking at the jackfruit in the carriage made her feel a little better. God knows how much she likes to eat jackfruit.

At this time, Ningtang had already sat down outside the carriage and asked Jiang Luorou.

"Brothers and sisters, should we go back to the shop now, or go straight back to the village."

Jiang Luorou opened the curtain and looked around, "Fourth brother, the rules in the Bai Mansion are very strict, so he must have not had enough to eat."

Ning Tang didn't say anything, but the hand on his abdomen revealed his thoughts.

Jiang Luorou looked at him and smiled lightly, then patted her bulging wallet.

"I made money today, I'm happy. Let's go to the restaurant downstairs in Manxiang."

After receiving Jiang Luorou's reply, Ningtang raised his whip, the wheels of the carriage turned, and drove slowly towards Manxiang Tower.

Unexpectedly, the two people standing next to the car were whispering.

"Go back quickly and tell the master that they are going to Manxiang Tower. I will follow them to find out his details."

"Well! Then you have to be careful. I heard that that woman has real skills."

In the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared, leaving only a fresh willow branch.

Ning Tang drove the carriage to Manxiang Tower. As soon as the carriage stopped, the waiter came out to greet him.

When he saw Jiang Luorou in the car, his tone became even warmer.

"Ms. Jiang is here to eat, or is she here to see my shopkeeper?"

Jiang Luorou gently lifted up her skirt and got out of the carriage, and replied casually: "I'm here for dinner this time. Could you please make a private room?"

Another person walked out of the restaurant and took the reins of the horse from Ning Tang, and Jiang Luorou followed the waiter into the building.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, a servant blocked her way and said very respectfully: "My master has invited me, and I would like to ask Madam Jiang to come over."
