At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

After breakfast, Xu Yating's mood stabilized a lot.

When Ren Hao mentioned compensation, Xu Yating did not say anything, but turned around and left silently.

"Husband, what should we do? Will she commit suicide?" Su Wan'er asked worriedly.

Ren Hao shook his head: "No, she doesn't look that fragile yet, let her take a break first, I will do my best to make up for it anyway."

Su Wan'er's eyes flashed: "Why don't you marry her, my husband?"

puff!

Ren Hao, who was drinking water, spat out a mouthful of water, which directly sprayed on the faces of the two little girls opposite him, making the two little girls pout.

"Hehe...stop joking!" Ren Hao smiled bitterly.

"What are you thinking about! This girl doesn't come from an ordinary family, how could she like me?"

Ren Hao shook his head repeatedly. No matter which world it is, it is important to match the right social status.

Marriages for poverty alleviation like the ones in the previous life were not popular at all in the feudal era.

Of course, it is not impossible for daughters from ordinary families to marry into wealthy families, but because they have no status, they can only be concubines.

Only the daughters of wealthy families of comparable origin are qualified to be wives.

As for concubines, some people even use them to entertain guests. For many people, concubines are equivalent to purchased servants and are just a tool for venting.

"It's okay to marry, but my husband only has one wife, me. A real man has three wives and four concubines. My husband is far from that." Su Wan'er said as a matter of course.

Ren Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly. Regardless of whether he was willing to marry or not, the other person had to be willing to marry!

After thinking about it, Ren Hao still felt that it was impossible. How could a lady from a wealthy family marry him?

"Okay, Wan'er, the quilt is now left to you. Try to cover yourself with a new quilt as soon as possible. The current torn quilt leaks air and is too uncomfortable." Ren Hao scratched his arm.

There was no need to wash the tattered quilt on the bed. It was full of mites. After drying it in the sun again and again, Ren Hao was afraid that he would be eaten by the mites when he covered himself with it.

……

county seat.

Restaurant.

The restaurant, which was originally bustling, was now cordoned off outside.

Several big men with sharp eyes carried long swords on their waists and glanced around fiercely, making everyone who wanted to approach look away involuntarily.

Everyone believes that if anyone dares to approach, they will surely face the fate of having their head and body separated!

Inside the restaurant.

Hu Sanyan was standing there with a smirk on his face, like a child who had made a mistake.

Opposite him sat a resolute-looking young man, who drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

Hu Sanyan quickly added it to his.

"Manager Hu, you don't have to be polite. Actually, I should call you uncle. It's not good for you to do this." The young man said lightly.

Hu Sanyan wiped his sweat and said with a wry smile, "No, no, Master, you can call me anything you want, but Yating is not with me, so Master, you don't have to look for her anymore."

Hearing Hu Sanyan's words, a deep look flashed in the young man's eyes.

"Manager Hu, you know that our Xu family has many male members, but we only have one sister, Yating, from our third uncle's family. She is the apple of everyone's eye. After she ran away this time, our third uncle and aunt were extremely worried."

"I was originally going to the border, but when I heard the news, my family had no choice but to send me here."

"If you can't find Yating, you can't afford the consequences." The young man said slowly.

Hu Sanyan's cheeks twitched.

"Young Marquis, Yating is definitely not here..."

Before he could finish his words, the young man suddenly slapped the table, shocking Hu Sanyan.

"Young Marquis..."

The young man's face darkened slightly: "Manager Hu, you are Yating's uncle, and I am Yating's cousin. I don't want to embarrass you. I know Yating is here with you, and I believe you also know what I do!"

Hearing the young man's words, Hu Sanyan immediately lowered his head.

The young man opposite is quite an important figure!

He called him Young Marquis, whose name was Xu Qing! Xu Qing's father was Xu Tiande, a general who held military power and was named Marquis of Wu'an for his military achievements.

Xu Qing himself was also extraordinary. Yating said that when Xu Qing was twelve years old, he got into trouble because of his mischief and was thrown into the army by Xu Tiande and severely punished.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qing not only adapted to military life quickly, but also captured an enemy general with his bravery, wisdom and courage with the strength of his team.

As a result, he became famous and was recognized by his father Xu Tiande. Now he is eighteen years old and has a very high prestige in the army, second only to his father.

Faced with such a fierce warrior who had fought in many bloody battles, Hu Sanyan simply gave up resistance.

"I...I said..."

"Ya Ting didn't want to marry the prime minister's son. It happened that there was a kid nearby who got the method of papermaking from somewhere. Ya Ting went there in person and wanted to obtain the papermaking technique to present it to the court in exchange for the prime minister's son to stop forcing her." Hu Sanyan said after a sigh.

Xu Qing frowned slightly. He naturally knew that the prime minister's son wanted to marry his sister.

Men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough, so he naturally would not object. Besides, he has elders in his family, so it is not his turn to object.

But he didn't expect that his sister was so strong-willed. Not only did she run away from home secretly, but she also wanted to achieve her goal through her own efforts. This was something he didn't expect.

"Young Marquis, I'll send someone to call Yating back right away." Hu Sanyan said.

"Actually, I am also worried about this child. What's wrong with marrying the prime minister's son? This girl is just too stubborn. Alas..."

Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll go there myself. Yating has a strong temper, I'm afraid you won't be able to call her back."

"Where is she now?"

"Cai Xu Village... It's an hour and a half's walk south from here. It should be faster if you ride horses." Hu Sanyan said.

"Let's go!" Xu Qing walked out the door and jumped on his horse.

The four big men around him moved in unison, jumped on their horses at the same time, followed Xu Qing, and rushed towards Caixu Village.

In Caixu Village.

Ren Hao is making paper.

The paper mill will take some time to be built, but papermaking cannot be stopped. A large amount of silver will definitely be needed in the future. Even though he has several hundred taels now, it is far from enough for future expenses.

The various tools alone add up to a huge sum of money.

In addition, they have to ensure the livelihood of their family, and they have to eat meat for three meals a day, which costs a lot.

So he had to make more paper during this period to sell to Hu Sanyan.

After his own paper mill was built, he reached a deeper cooperation with Hu Sanyan to prevent him from doing something desperate.

On the other hand, he would develop his own channels and open stores in several surrounding prefectures and counties. In this way, he would be able to control everything in his hands and would not starve to death due to lack of sales channels.

After all, in the past, there were many companies that were controlled by others because their sales channels were controlled by salesmen.

At this time, outside Caixu Village, five people and five horses were slowly walking in.
