After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Chapter 169: Scheme against each other

Xu Mengxiao was happy to see the success, and would occasionally talk to her mother, but she mainly took care of Lin Gui's disciples and grandchildren while cooking.

Originally, two of them were not willing to come to this countryside to cook for others. After all, they did not know that Xu Mengxiao was from the Sandong family of Taoyuan Township.

But now that she had given her guidance, her attitude changed completely, and she almost called her "Master" affectionately!

"Is this what you call hiding a man?" the new wife joked.

She looked at it, and it was clear that Lu He cared very little about his wife. He only had eyes for her, and she didn't care about him when she was working. He didn't leave, so he just followed him, listening attentively, and then took off his cloak. Help out.

I don’t know how many people were envious of such a harmonious scene.

They men, let's just say they are obedient and considerate, but they cannot be like Lu He - it is like the moon in the sky, but it falls into the mortal world and only illuminates that one person.

"Try it." Xu Mengxiao taught a new dish of sweet and sour pork, which felt so sour.

Lu He's entrance, however, had a calm expression and nodded pertinently.

"Is it really delicious?" Xu Mengxiao didn't believe it anymore. She picked up a chopstick and tasted it for herself. She almost grinned because of the sourness!

Several people nearby burst out laughing, "This pineapple is so sour!" However, it was also the first time for them to eat this fruit called pineapple, and they loved it even if their teeth were sore.

"It seems that this pineapple is not yet ripe." Xu Mengxiao took a sip of the tea handed over by Lu He to clear away the sourness in her mouth, and said thoughtfully.

"Add a little more sugar." She also took out the sugar from the space. Fortunately, this thing has a provenance. Zhang Linjiang sells this kind of purified fine sugar, which is worth a lot of money.

If he hadn't controlled the technology and monopolized it, Xu Mengxiao would have wanted to build a workshop in the village and then hire some villagers to process and produce white sugar.

It's hard to steal Uncle Zhang's business now.

However, Xu Mengxiao still gave serious thought to building a workshop in the village. Getting rich first will lead to getting rich later, and these "political achievements" will also be added to Uncle Li Zheng's head.

I don’t know if the three people discussed a charter after they went back last time, or is it that the water tanker and the like are not enough to allow Uncle Li Zheng to go further?

Xu Mengxiao, who was a little unsure at this moment, didn't know that a large group of people were coming outside.

Xu Shengjie followed Shopkeeper Tao all the way and smelled the strong aroma of vegetables. He happened to see a group of men, women and children gathering under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

They are all people who failed to get an invitation from the Lu family and are making sarcastic remarks.

"That must be the cook from Taoyuan Township."

"The Lu family is so proud now that they look down on us who are just digging in the dirt."

"What are you doing here? Want to hire a cook from Taoyuan Township? What a beautiful idea! No matter how good the business in Taoyuan Township is now, if the lucky daughter-in-law of the Lu family hadn't taught the cooking skills of the second owner of Taoyuan Township, they wouldn't be able to hire one. come!"

At this time, Shopkeeper Tao narrowed his eyes, "I heard that Xu Mengxiao is from the Sandong family of Taoyuan Township?"

"What? Sandong's family, maybe, she made a lot of money from Taoyuan Township. Well, she bought that big mountain."

Shopkeeper Tao inquired about a lot of information one after another. Xu Shengjie was frightened, fearing that they would tell them that he and Xu Mengxiao had nothing to do with each other.

Fortunately, these people were already somewhat dissatisfied with the Lu family, but they did not say these things in front of him.

"Now you believe me, you can always let me copy books, no, give me some pens, ink, paper and inkstones on credit, or even books, right?"

Shopkeeper Tao smiled half-heartedly. A teenage boy with no hair on his face also wanted to deceive him. "Since they are your relatives, why don't you introduce them to them for me?"

Xu Shengjie froze for a moment, but he said firmly: "Okay, easy to say, but I took a leave of absence from the master and I have to go back to school as soon as possible, otherwise I will be scolded."

"Then you go back and I'll take a look."

Xu Shengjie scratched his head and head anxiously. If he were here alone, wouldn't he ask about the specific situation?

Can I still use the name of Xu Mengxiao and Taoyuanxiang to prostitute those four treasures of the study and books for free?

He also thought about borrowing a sum of money directly from shopkeeper Tao then!

He was not afraid that after the incident, this person would find Master Xie's school and report him. The other party's attitude clearly showed that he was more interested in Taoyuan Township and even had bad intentions.

When the time came for him to expose the problem, Taoyuan Township took the initiative to settle the debt for him for the sake of its reputation for integrity, and even if they didn't know about the matter between them and Xu Mengxiao...

In short, a person with a bad mind will find a way to benefit himself no matter how crooked and impossible it is!

The same is true for Shopkeeper Tao. The two of them are using each other, and no one wants to expose the other. They just think that if they can get to Taoyuan Township in the end and hit Taoyuan Township hard, then everything will be fine!

"How about you go back with me? I don't have any inkstones or paper anymore. You can lend me some on credit first, and then you can come over by yourself later?"

"Okay, but if something happens to me, you must help me!" Shopkeeper Tao looked at the mountain they just talked about.

He also thought of something that the steward of Fucheng Yipinju told him, and Xu Mengxiao also provided all the mushrooms to Taoyuan Township...

So, those mushrooms come from this mountain, right?

When the two were about to leave, other people from the town also returned disappointed.

The Lu family doesn't run a running banquet that everyone can eat. They can't get food, and they can't hire a cook from Taoyuan Township, so why don't they go back and wait for hunger?

But at this moment, on the oncoming country road, a blue woolen sedan carried by four red-clothed officials was heading this way.

As for such a sedan, a group of people held their breath and hurriedly looked at each other, "Official sedan!"

Then they all gave way and wanted to salute, but were shouted back by the officials' eyes.

Xu Shengjie looked envious. When would he become an official and receive such treatment that everyone would bow down and kneel down?

Just after walking out for a while, the blue woolen sedan stopped at the entrance of the village.

A short distance away, they suddenly heard the villagers exclaiming and kneeling in a group, "Your Majesty the County Magistrate!"

"County magistrate, that is actually the newly appointed county magistrate. Why is he here?" Several people from the town were instantly curious.

They were different from these frightened villagers. When they saw the county magistrate, they not only did not hide away, but chased after him, wanting to see what this man who was said to be very difficult to approach was doing.

At this time, Lu He also glanced at the door with emotion and gave Lu Hai a look.

Before Lu Hai could figure out what was happening, a burst of laughter sounded at the door.

"Today is such a good day. I didn't expect that I would catch up with the Lu family's big day. Just in time, I also bring you some good news!"
