The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

It completely broke Lan Wangshu's perception of snacks of this era, and he couldn't help but eat a few more bites.

Mo Yici felt helpless, so he turned around and went out to ask the waiter to pack two boxes of snacks.

It was still early when the two came out of the teahouse. Lan Wangshu had eaten a little too much and planned to take a walk around Rucheng. He always came and went in a hurry and had not yet had a good look at this city.

Mo Yici didn't care and just followed her slowly with the pastries in her hand.

Some people around them would cast strange looks at them. Lan Wangshu didn’t know what it was, but it did make people feel uncomfortable.

"Zhengyang, are they looking at us?"

She sensed no ill will, but felt like a thorn in her back, and quietly approached Mo Yici.

The young general turned slightly towards her, lowered his body, and looked around. Those people's eyes were very evasive, and they couldn't help turning their heads to peek. This was really puzzling.

"Seems to be."

"Girls, you are new here, right?"

Lan Wangshu and the others turned and walked into a grocery store. Inside the small room, in a cramped corner sat an old lady with silver hair.

"That's true, how would grandma know?"

"Rucheng is not peaceful these days, so it's better for you not to show up on the streets."

"Why?"

Mo Yici was also a little puzzled as to what was the reason that made everyone afraid to walk on the road.

"Some years ago, a woman went missing, and we could never find out why. Every few days, fresh corpses would appear in various places in Rucheng. Moreover, these women were all very good-looking and liked to go out."

Even when a male doctor was hired to see the patient, Lan Wangshu had to be asked to come over as a cover.

"Yes, in response to this mentality and needs, I have thought of a good solution. I have asked my friends to discuss it with His Majesty. This time the strategy is the same as the previous one for the snowstorm, but we can't just ask people to donate directly, but we have to give them a name."

Cheng Xi poured Lan Wangshu another cup of tea and placed the snacks in front of her, urging her to continue with her eyes.

"This time I plan to ask these people to donate an item on their own initiative, and then write down a list based on the final auction amount and post it at all the city gates. I don't know what the dignitaries think, but the wealthy businessmen are still very willing. With a good reputation, it will be easier to do business. It is better to get a good reputation than to go out with real money without a good reputation."

Cheng Xi also thought this method was very good and praised it repeatedly. "But, Miss Cheng, I have never told anyone from the noble family about this matter. This is what my superiors meant. Don't say that I told you that I didn't know about this matter."

Lan Wangshu covered his mouth, as if he felt he had said too much. He nervously grabbed Cheng Xi's wrist and gave her many instructions.

Cheng Xi was not a bad person to begin with. Lan Wangshu had helped her so much, so of course she would not repay his kindness with evil.

"Don't worry, County Lady. I will never mention you about this matter. Just say that I heard the rich businessman outside talking about it while drinking tea today." "Miss Cheng is a smart person with a smart mind. Speaking of this, I have to give Miss Cheng a suggestion. I wonder if Miss Cheng wants to hear it."

"You can speak freely, my lady."

Cheng Xi didn't think that Lan Wangshu could say anything useful, but since she accepted other people's kindness, she couldn't make things difficult for them. She had to show her support. There was no loss anyway, right?

"Speaking of which, most aristocratic families have a deep foundation, but if you are the last on this list, it will be a shame, especially among the aristocratic families. They will always laugh at the last one."

"The county lord is right."

Cheng Xi had already understood what Lan Wangshu meant, which was to ask the Cheng family to come up with some good things. Although she felt that Lan Wangshu's plan was good, she was not particularly unhappy about it. This was a good thing for both parties.

"Look, Miss Cheng is not thinking too shallowly. To be honest, the things these wealthy businessmen have brought out are enough. Zui Fusheng really doesn't lack these things from the noble families. However, Miss Cheng should understand that the last place will be used to vent anger."

"You mean, I'm going to take action against the aristocratic family?"

Cheng Xi's lips trembled slightly and her eyes widened. Lan Wangshu carefully distinguished her expression, and couldn't tell whether it was excitement or fear. However, one thing was certain, the emotional fluctuation was indeed big enough.

Lan Wangshu thought about what Mo Yici said. The carefully trained noble lady from an aristocratic family did not even get an official position after something happened in the academy. Perhaps Cheng Xi was not having a good life.

"Miss Cheng, Zui Fusheng is short of staff. If you have anyone suitable, please recommend her to me. Although she may not be rich, she can be a lady from a wealthy family."

Lan Wangshu shook the glass beads in his hand, and Cheng Xi stared at them with her eyes wide open. When she came to Zui Fusheng before, the person who was chosen was her sister.

"I heard that the windows in Zui Fu Sheng are all made of colored glaze. This is true."
