It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel
Chapter 58 Rely on yourself
"Young man, please tell Shopkeeper He that I will be there on time. Thank you."
In the original book, Nie Feng is an extremely romantic and unrestrained person, capable and skillful, and can handle both the black and white worlds. Only this unconventional boss Nie can do this interview at a banquet.
The waiter got a positive answer and left.
......
When Ouyang Hua and Tian Runze came back from vacation, the three of them took time out to have a meal together, which was considered a celebration, both to congratulate Weng Xiaoxiao on passing the imperial examination and to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in advance. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, they all had to stay with their families and could not go out.
No one mentioned Ouyang Hua's marriage with his cousin again. After his mother Su explained it in detail, he finally understood the roundabout way women talk and suddenly found it extremely boring.
After buying the farm, their pockets were empty. Fortunately, they received twenty taels of royalties a few days later, and the play script also sold for thirty taels. So Weng Xiaoxiao and her husband no longer had to worry about their lives.
Although the tenants on the farm were not servants who had signed contracts, they were still in a symbiotic relationship. Weng Xiaoxiao asked Fenggu to give each household a holiday gift of 100 coins, as giving money was more practical than anything else. Liu Yuan, as the manager, worked diligently, so he gave him 50 more coins.
Everyone is happy when they get the money.
As soon as May begins, the streets become bustling.
Less than a year after the old emperor's death, people still had to wear plain clothes. Even when weaving colorful ropes, the bright red color was removed. However, these did not affect the festive atmosphere.
Fenggu grew up in the north and lived in the frontier for many years. She is very fond of southern customs and small objects. She never comes back empty-handed after going out for a stroll, just like a little girl.
Looking at Weng Xiaoxiao wearing a green gown, Aunt Feng sighed, "Xiaoxiao, when can I dress you up? Such a pretty girl should wear an exquisite dress. I didn't have that condition when I was young. It's a pity for you..."
Weng Xiaoxiao also likes to wear skirts, but if she becomes a woman now, she can forget about going out in the future.
"Wait a few years, when I have earned enough for my lifetime, and the worldly affairs of the capital have been resolved, and I have the ability to protect myself. Aunt, if there are any girls you like, you can take in a few boys, as we are short of manpower."
It seems that Weng Xiaoxiao has never thought about getting married. She has no such plan at all. I don’t know which bad boy she will end up with.
Weng Xiaoxiao was about to go out, and now was not the time to say this, so Feng Gu didn't think about it any more.
"I am a rough man, I can train you a few girls and boys who know martial arts. When you have time, go to visit the young men. The people you keep by your side are more reliable if they have a death contract in hand. As for training other people, it's up to you."
Weng Xiaoxiao picked up a folding fan, opened it with a snap, fanned it twice, then closed it gracefully and put it at her waist.
"Auntie, your idea is excellent. Let's do it. I'm leaving now. There are too many people on the street. It would be bad if I left too late."
"Go ahead, I'll pick you up after dinner, and it's best not to drink."
Weng Xiaoxiao agreed with a smile, gently hugged Feng Gu, turned around and walked out gracefully.
This is the first time that Weng Xiaoxiao faces a truly strong man after traveling through time. It also concerns future arrangements, so she doesn't dare to take it lightly.
......
Louwailou serves local dishes. Weng Xiaoxiao and Fenggu came here once. They only like the light soup here and don’t like the slightly sweet dishes.
Today is a holiday, and Louwailou is still packed, with people sitting upstairs and downstairs.
After giving her name, Weng Xiaoxiao was led by the waiter into a private room on the second floor.
After knocking on the door and looking at the man sitting in the room, Weng Xiaoxiao bowed and asked, "My name is Weng Xiao, are you from the Nie family?"
Nie Feng didn't say anything. He looked up at Weng Xiaoxiao, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stood up to greet her, "I'm Nie Feng, Master Weng, please come in."
He turned around and told the waiter, "You can serve the food now."
"Mr. Weng, please take a seat."
Nie Feng's eyes were unscrupulous yet upright.
Weng Xiaoxiao felt it, but didn't feel disgusted. She thanked him and sat down opposite Nie Feng with a smile.
"I am very curious, how did Mr. Weng understand how my bank operates just by listening to a few words from the clerk?"
Nie Feng is about thirty years old, with a fair face and no beard, and is gentle and elegant. If you don't know him, you might think he is just a gentleman scholar, but in fact he is a real old fox.
When facing a master, the skill of responding is important, but you can't be clever.
Rather than being speculated about, Weng Xiaoxiao prefers to speak frankly, "I like arithmetic and am good at calculations. People who deposit money in money shops are usually rich people. For the sake of safety and convenience, they are willing to pay a little management fee. Ordinary people have some money but not much, so they just hide it here and there, but they are reluctant to spend the management fee. But as long as they are given a little benefit, they are willing to take out the money. A little bit of sand makes a tower, and a little bit of fur makes a coat. It should not be underestimated."
Just as he finished speaking, the waiter knocked on the door and brought in the dishes.
Gradually, a full table of Huaiyang specialties was placed on the table.
This is such a grand occasion, no one can compare to it...
"Mr. Nie, you are so kind." Weng Xiaoxiao said politely.
Nie Feng's lips curled up slightly, "Master Weng, please."
When Nie Feng picked up his chopsticks, Weng Xiaoxiao served herself a bowl of fish soup first, fearing that she would have to drink some wine later, so she decided to fill her stomach first.
"I've read all of Master Weng's books, they're really good."
Weng Xiaoxiao put down the soup spoon, smiled and bowed, "Thank you, Mr. Nie, for your support."
This young man has a good mentality! Not at all shy about being caught, Nie Feng smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Can I drink?"
Weng Xiaoxiao still smiled, "I can't drink much, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself if I drink too much."
Nie Feng raised his eyebrows, stood up and picked up the wine jug to pour some for Weng Xiaoxiao.
Weng Xiaoxiao had no choice but to stand up and take the wine glass with both hands, "Excuse me, sir, I really don't deserve it."
"No problem," Nie Feng raised his glass, "Happy Dragon Boat Festival."
Weng Xiaoxiao replied, "Happy Dragon Boat Festival," clinked glasses with Nie Feng, and drank the wine.
"I just like people who are straightforward and happy!" Nie Feng also drank it all in one gulp.
"Jiang Xiaoxiao is your real name, right?" Nie Feng mentioned it casually after swallowing a mouthful of food.
"Mr. Nie has great connections. Nothing can be hidden from you."
Instead of panicking as expected, Nie Feng looked at Weng Xiaoxiao in surprise. She was so calm. Did she expect that they would investigate her? "Aren't you afraid?"
Weng Xiaoxiao raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Mr. Nie will tell my father that I'm alive? You're not that boring."
"Haha, interesting." Nie Feng did not comment, but poured himself a drink.
"I'm not afraid of being investigated. You can only use me with confidence after you have checked it clearly. I just want to make money and live a good life. I have no background or backing, so I can only rely on myself." Weng Xiaoxiao said lightly.
These words couldn't help but make Nie Feng feel respectful.
If this girl is willing, she can just grab a rich young man around her and have no worries about making a living, but she still only wants to rely on herself, which is very rare.
