Lu Guanyu’s small workshop is ready to open.

After a month of trial production, several maids under Lu Guanyu finally mastered the pickling technique.

Lu Guanyu scooped out two eggs with a clean bamboo spoon.

After cooking, I tried it and was very satisfied.

"After the eggs are sold, the brine used to pickle the eggs can also be sold for money." Lu Guanyu explained clearly.

Li Jinglan smiled and said, "If I give you a shop in the capital, can you run it well?"

The two shops acquired from Lu Xuande have been empty until now.

Li Jinglan plans to process agricultural products, namely pickled foods and canned fruits.

My family does wholesale, and my shop in Beijing does retail and nationwide wholesale.

If this business can be developed, it will boost the economic benefits of three or four surrounding villages.

When she heard that she was going to be given a shop, Lu Guanyu opened her mouth slightly: "I, I'm only seven years old, can I do it well?"

Li Jinglan smiled and said, "Please ask the shopkeeper and the shop assistants to sell the goods in the store, and then find someone to purchase and transport them. You just need to mediate."

Li Jinglan encouraged Lu Guanyu, "Let's talk about it in the village and encourage everyone to raise chickens, ducks, geese, vegetables and fruit trees, and then we will buy from them."

The villagers of Xishui Village were very excited when they found out.

Since Li Jinglan came to Xishui Village, their lives have been much better than before.

Li Jinglan first took the land back from Lu Xuande.

Then the rent was adjusted.

Now we still pay the rent that we paid when Mr. Lu was alive, and we don’t have to pay a new rent.

Li Jinglan found playmates for Lu Guanyu and opened a workshop.

There are more than a dozen families in the village whose lives have improved because their children go to work in workshops.

Everyone is ready to go, waiting for the Lu family to recruit people.

The news reached Lu Zhang's ears.

Mrs. Lu Zhang almost got sick from anger again.

Why is there news about Li Jinglan every day?

Especially when she found out that the business was given to Lu Guanyu, Mrs. Lu Zhang became even angrier.

Lu Guanyu is a daughter and will get married sooner or later.

I gave Lu Guanyu a good shop, and I will definitely give it to my in-laws in the future.

Where is Li Jinglan’s brain?

It must have grown crooked.

But unfortunately, despite Li Jinglan's crooked brain, her life is getting better and better.

Lu Zhang was extremely angry.

Whenever something good was made at home, Li Jinglan would naturally give some to Liu.

Liu tasted a freshly cooked salted egg and nodded repeatedly: "It tastes really good."

Li Jinglan took the opportunity to say, "We plan to collect some chicken, duck and goose eggs in the village and pickle them to sell in the winter. We will try to sell some in the village this winter and use the shop in the capital next year."

"That's good." Liu nodded approvingly.

This is how we live our lives now.

The men are busy outside while the women are doing housework and trying to find ways to make money.

As they were talking, Yan Fuyu came in.

Two wet nurses followed and carried the carriage into the house.

The baby sitting in the stroller stretched out his hand happily when he saw Li Jinglan.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. You've grown so fast." Li Jinglan first wiped her hands with a towel before touching the baby's hand.

The baby reached out and grabbed Li Jinglan's index finger, giggling.

Li Jinglan took out a small bamboo dragonfly.

The baby immediately let go of Li Jinglan's hand and went to play with the bamboo dragonfly.

Liu pursed her lips and smiled: "You often give him things, and now he is looking forward to your coming."

As they were talking, someone came in and said, "The county magistrate's wife and the mistress of the Hu family want to see you."

A trace of displeasure flashed across Liu's face: "Please ask them to come in."

He glanced at Li Jinglan and Yan Fuyu again, "Go to the inner room. If you hear me putting down the tea bowl, use the baby as an excuse."

Li Jinglan and Yan Fuyu went to the inner room as instructed.

Not a moment.

The wife of the county magistrate came with the mistress of the Hu family.

As soon as she entered the room, the county magistrate's wife smiled and said, "Sister Liu is well. I am here to congratulate you."

Liu smiled and bowed, "Where is the joy?"

"If your eldest and second son pass the imperial examination this time, it would be a double blessing. And then, we have brought you another blessing today."

After the county magistrate's wife paid her respects, she sat down next to Liu.

"Isn't it three happy events?"

Liu just pretended to be confused: "Stop making fun of me. If it doesn't work out, I won't be able to live anymore." But she didn't ask about the other good news.

The county magistrate's wife laughed and said, "Your Ruoshui has reached the age to get married, right?"

Liu's two daughters.

Wang Ruoshui was born to a concubine.

Wang Ruolan is her biological daughter.

When Liu heard the wife of the county magistrate mention Wang Ruoshui's name, a gentle look appeared on her face, but her words were full of rejection.

"She's still very young! Her father and I can't bear to part with her. We have to keep her and her sister until they are 19 years old."

The meaning of this rejection is too obvious!

And I didn't ask anything.

The county magistrate's wife looked a little embarrassed.

The mistress of the Hu family coughed.

The county magistrate's wife finally reacted and said, "I have a matchmaker here for Miss Ruoshui."

"The man is willing to pay a betrothal gift of five thousand taels, and the rest of the farm and shop can be discussed."

In the eyes of the county magistrate's wife, this betrothal gift was quite a lot.

The betrothal gift for a concubine's daughter in a high-ranking official's family in the capital was only four or five thousand taels.

The county magistrate's wife was full of confidence and felt that Liu would definitely agree.

Liu picked up the tea bowl and said slowly, "I don't know which family is so interested in my Ruoshui."

Upon hearing this, the wife of the county magistrate and the mistress of the Hu family were delighted.

Liu continued, "But unfortunately, my Ruoshui is not destined to marry early! She has suffered from many disasters since she was a child, and her health is not good. A senior monk once gave her advice, saying that she would save her life if she got engaged later."

The wife of the county magistrate was a little embarrassed, feeling that Liu Shi didn't give her any face at all, "Can we get engaged first?"

Liu smiled slightly and put the tea bowl on the table.

Li Jinglan's scream came from the inner room.

"Oh, why did the baby vomit? What should I do?"

Then, Yan Fuyu's voice was heard: "Mom, the baby vomited."

Liu was shocked when she heard this: "I'm sorry, I'll go see my grandson first."

She stood up and told the maid: "Serve the guests well."

Once Liu entered the inner room, she was never seen again.

The sound of three women talking came from the inner room.

"Why is the baby vomiting so much? Did he eat something bad?"

"I don't know. He was fine just now, but he vomited like this after eating some milk."

"Maybe he choked on the milk..."

The three of them kept talking in the room and didn't come out.

The two people outside were so angry that they gritted their teeth.

"Since the host is not available, we will take our leave first." The county magistrate's wife glared at the mistress of the Hu family fiercely and walked out.

She came to the Wang family as a matchmaker at the invitation of the mistress of the Hu family.

In the end, Liu didn't give him any face at all.

She hated the mistress of the Hu family and also hated Liu for not giving her face.

After leaving the Wang family, the county magistrate's wife said directly: "Don't call me for such things in the future."

Get in the sedan and leave.

The mistress of the Hu family gritted her teeth in anger.

She came here today with all her heart to propose to Wang Ruoshui.

A few days ago, when she went to Xiaotuo Temple to burn incense, Wang Ruoshui's biological mother accompanied Liu to burn incense.

Wang Ruoshui's biological mother was very pretty.

I don't think Wang Ruoshui is ugly.

Her second son is a man who likes beautiful women.

I hope that if I marry a beautiful woman to my second son, he will change his mind.

She had asked someone to test Liu a few days ago, but Liu had always refused.

Today, he invited the wife of the county magistrate, but Liu still didn't give her any face.

Could it be that someone said something bad about her family in front of Liu?

She turned around and asked the nanny: "Go and find out who came to see Liu today."

After the nanny inquired, she replied, "She is Lu Bozhou's wife."

"Li!" The mistress of the Hu family narrowed her eyes.

She didn't dare to do anything to Liu.

Are you still afraid of this Li?

"Go check what businesses this Li family has! Destroy them for me."

"I want to make sure she can't survive in Nanli County!"

The mistress of the Hu family was furious.
