After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Where did Shen Nanzhi go?

She is not interested in poetry or songs, and has no hobbies in music, chess, calligraphy, or painting. She is a vulgar person at heart, and her only concern is making money.

With so many wealthy men gathered together, they certainly couldn't miss this opportunity. While the scholars were reciting poems and composing essays, she entertained them to get to know them and build relationships so that they could cooperate in the future.

Everyone was very polite to Shen Nanzhi. The fact that Mr. Yuan held a banquet for her showed that she was a junior whom Mr. Yuan cared about and was worth making friends with.

The more businessmen they are, the more they realize the importance of power. They hope that their family descendants can pass the imperial examinations and change their own status as merchants and lowly people. They are very respectful to good teachers.

Mr. Li was in the grain business. Shen Nanzhi used a serving chopstick to pick up a corn cake for him and said, "Mr. Li, try this golden cake. It's soft and fragrant. Can you tell what grain it's made of?"

Mr. Li took a bite and said, "It's really delicious. It's not as fine as flour, but tastes better than rough flour. It's also slightly sweet. I don't think I've ever eaten this kind of grain."

"No, Mr. Li has eaten it. Everyone has eaten it. It is made of corn. When it matures, it is ground into powder. It can be eaten as a staple food or as a supplementary food. It has a good sense of fullness, is rich in nutrition, and has a high yield. It is a very good food."

The officials were curious: "Corn, isn't it eaten by chewing? I like it too. My wife also likes to add it to porridge. It tastes delicious."

Shen Nanzhi said, "That's freshly-ripened, tender corn. It's cooked and eaten. When it's ripe, it's ground into flour like wheat and eaten. It's convenient to store. How much silver do you think this corn can be sold for?"

Mr. Li said, "Wheat is already 15 cents a pound. This corn tastes better than flour, so it should be the same price at least."

Mr. Song said, "I think it's more expensive than wheat. Scarcity makes things more valuable. Boiled corn is sold for five cents a head. How many heads of corn can make a pound of corn?"

"Five, right? I haven't counted them."

If there are five sticks, then that would be twenty-five cents per pound. The officials all looked at each other in different ways. This deal could be done.

Shen Nanzhi just wanted to attract their attention. This winter's corn will definitely be sold at a high price. What Mr. Song said makes sense. Scarcity makes things valuable. It will also make a lot of money for the villagers of Yushu Village, and they will be able to live a good life in the future.

"I won't bother you guys anymore. I'll go see the master. You guys eat and drink well, and we'll visit each other often in the future."

"Okay, Miss Shen, you are busy."

Mr. Song came up and said his son had greeted the gentleman, but he had not yet thanked Shen Nanzhi.

Shen Nanzhi asked him first: "Master Song, didn't I give you a lot of corn and sweet potato seeds this year? The harvest is coming soon, so you should hurry up."

Mr. Song then remembered that this was the case. This meant that he could also make money from the corn.

Overjoyed, "Thank goodness you reminded me, I almost forgot, Nan Zhi, you have helped my family so much, I don't know how to thank you."

Shen Nanzhi had a bad feeling, "Have you forgotten? Can the people below plant crops properly? Ask them tomorrow, don't let them ruin everything."

Mr. Song: “Isn’t it possible?”

Shen Nanzhi was a little annoyed. How could such a person become the richest man in the county?

Jin Xuan'er and several young ladies came to see her, including the fat young lady Zhu from last time, whose name was Zhu Xiaomei. She wanted to play with Shen Nanzhi the most now.

It was Zhu Xiaomei who dragged Jin Xuan'er to find her. With Shen Nanzhi around, she was not the fattest one and would not be stared at by others.

"Miss Shen, we've been looking for you for a long time. Aren't you going to play with us?"

"coming."

After Shen Nanzhi left, Master Song ordered his servant to go to the farm that night to inquire about the progress of the seeds. If such great wealth was destroyed by the people on the farm, he would kill people.

The young ladies play pitching pots and guessing riddles, and the talented ones can also compose poetry and prose. If their works are good, they will be passed on to scholars and the reputation of being a talented woman will be unavoidable.

Poems written by scholars would also be sent to the ladies for them to read.

When Shen Huai'en's poems came over, Jin Xuan'er held them tightly and recited them several times, her face full of a blush of shyness and admiration.

Zhu Xiaomei teased her, "Are you attracted to her? Let us see it, it's not yours."

After what happened to Jiang Chen, Jin Xuan'er was more generous. Now her family has been looking for her to see, and she is a little numb. She said, "Can't you like it? The one who can write such a good work must be a talented, intelligent and wise man."

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but hit her: "It's just a poem, what can you tell from it? You haven't learned your lesson yet. Knowledge doesn't represent character. When we girls get married, character should be the most important thing.

Getting married is like a second life. Whether it is heaven or hell depends on this one. Don’t be careless. "

Jin Xuan'er took her arm and said, "Shen Huai'en is your housekeeper. I heard about him from my father. What do you think of his character?"

"My people are naturally good. Oh, no, what do you mean? You are trying to poach my people. Shen Huai'en is really not good enough."

"Why? Are you reluctant to part with it? Are you keeping it for yourself?"

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but roll her eyes. "What are you talking about, girl? Why do you have to stare at the man next to me? What if he is another Jiang Xiucai who is two-faced?

Shen Huai'en's family background is not good, even worse than Jiang Xiucai's. He is alone and has no home. "

Jin Xuan'er: "That's perfect. I don't have to take care of my mother-in-law or support a large family. It's just the two of us. Isn't it good to live our own life?"

Shen Nanzhi: "..."

It makes so much sense that I am speechless.

"Can you just help me? Sister Shen, you are my biological sister. My future happiness depends on you."

Shen Nanzhi had a headache: "No, don't rely on me, I can't afford it, go ask your mother, and we'll talk about it after she agrees."

Jin Xuan'er thought it was feasible. Just based on her status as Mr. Yuan's disciple, her mother would agree.

Zhu Xiaomei was eating walnuts, feeling a little envious, "Sister Shen, how about you help me find a perfect husband?"

Shen Nanzhi: "I'm not a matchmaker, I don't have that ability, I still want my ideal husband, can he fall from the sky?"

Zhu Xiaomei said dejectedly: "Xuan'er is fine, she is good-looking and has a good family background, but I am miserable, I am fat and come from a merchant family, so can I only marry a farmer?"

Shen Nanzhi felt sorry for him and said, "You are not fat, and you are pretty good-looking. It won't be that bad. At worst, you can marry a businessman. You will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life. Family alliance is also good."

Zhu Xiaomei laughed, "That's right, I have to have enough food and drink. I don't want to be hungry. It's too uncomfortable."

"That's right."

Shen Nanzhi felt the same way. She had suffered a lot in order to lose weight. She felt like vomiting after eating diet meals. She dared not touch boiled fish, braised pork, barbecue, cakes, milk tea, or fried chicken.

The two of them felt a sense of sympathy for each other, so they clinked glasses together and drank fruit juice.

After chatting for a while, Jin Xuan'er's maid came over in a hurry and said anxiously: "Miss Shen, it's bad, my young lady can't be found."
