A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Shen Qingqian and the other two rested for a night at an inn called Hongyunlai, and sent a visiting card to Yang's house early the next morning.

The Yang Mansion is Zhou Susu's husband's family. Shen Qingqian didn't want to disturb them directly, so she handed in a visiting card first, hoping to make an appointment to meet Zhou Susu.

Zhou Susu was very happy when she received the visiting card and went to the inn to meet Shen Qingqian in person.

Shen Qingqian was flattered to see Zhou Susu coming to the inn to find her.

"Sister Susu, why are you here? I'm supposed to visit you."

Zhou Susu took her hand and said, "You don't have to be so formal with me. When you come to the capital, you are my guest. Why don't you come back to Yang's house with me?"

"Sister Susu, thank you for your kindness, but I think it's fine to stay in the inn, so I won't bother you at your house."

Shen Qingqian could see that Zhou Susu was really inviting her, and it was not just a polite remark. But she also knew that wealthy families all lived together, and Zhou Susu welcomed her, but others might not!

She is a person who fears trouble. She thinks it is easier and more convenient to stay in an inn, so she would never stay in someone else's home!

Zhou Susu saw that she was unwilling, so she didn't force her and said, "Then if you need anything, just come to me. I will definitely help you if I can."

"Thank you, Sister Susu."

Shen Qingqian thanked her sincerely. She felt very touched that Zhou Susu, a general's wife, could treat her, a peasant girl, with such courtesy.

Thinking of the business, she spoke again: "By the way, Sister Susu, I heard from the teacher that we need to discuss the coal issue with an adult named Chu. I wonder when that adult will be free?"

Zhou Susu said, "My master contacted Lord Chu about this matter. He went to the military camp today. I will send someone to call him back and ask him to make an appointment with Lord Chu."

Shen Qingqian said gratefully: "Sister Susu, thank you so much for troubling you."

Zhou Susu asked some more questions about Master Zhou, then stood up and said goodbye, saying that she had made an appointment with Master Chu and would come to inform her.

Shen Qingqian took out all the well-preserved vegetables and gave them to Zhou Susu.

"Sister Susu, these are what I brought from home. Take them back and eat them."

Zhou Susu was very curious when she saw all kinds of fresh vegetables. She asked, "How can there be these vegetables in winter?"

Shen Qingqian said, "I grew them myself using a special method. Sister Susu, I know you don't need anything in the capital, so I brought these to you. I hope you don't dislike them."

Zhou Susu asked the servant who followed her to take it and praised: "Qingqian, you are really a capable person! I will accept these and go back to let my family taste them."

After Zhou Susu left, Shen Qingqian asked Zhang Sheng to take them out for a stroll. Anyway, they had to wait for news, so they took advantage of their free time to take a good stroll around the capital.

However, they wandered around for four days in a row but never received any letter from Zhou Susu.

Shen Qingqian couldn't sit still anymore and planned to go to Yang's house in person to ask Zhou Susu about the situation.

As soon as she left the inn, she saw Zhou Susu coming to find her.

"Sister Susu, you're here? I was just about to go to your house to look for you!"

Shen Qingqian said as she took Zhou Susu to her room.

Zhou Susu said: "Are you getting impatient? I came here to tell you about this.

Actually, I told my master about this when I went back that day. My master went to see Lord Chu the next day. Lord Chu said that he was busy these two days, and he would notify us when he was free, and then arrange a meeting place with you. However, he has not notified us until today, and I don’t know what’s going on!

I'm afraid you're worried, so I came to tell you first. My master will be back tonight, and I asked him to ask Master Chu tomorrow."

Shen Qingqian understood as soon as she heard it. This Lord Chu was deliberately keeping her hanging!

As for the purpose, there are only two possibilities. One is to gain some benefits from it; the other is to make her wait impatiently so as to lower the price.

This official is really cunning! Even if they haven't met, Shen Qingqian can guess that this Lord Chu must be a cunning old man!

Shen Qingqian said: "Sister Susu, I know about this matter. Since this Lord Chu is not in a hurry, I am even less anxious.

You don't have to urge my brother-in-law. He is so busy, and he still has to run around for my affairs. I really don't know how to thank you. "

Zhou Susu said: "You don't have to be polite to me. It's my duty to help you. Why should I be afraid that I can't help you?

By the way, the vegetables you gave me are really appreciated by my family.”

Shen Qingqian smiled and said, "It's good as long as it's rare."

Zhou Susu paused and continued, "Qingqian, are you going to eat the vegetables you grow yourself, or sell them as well?"

Shen Qingqian looked at her and said, "Sister Susu, the vegetables I grow are for the hot pot restaurant.

What, you want to buy my food? That's too polite. If you need it, I can have someone send you some. My things don't cost you money."

Zhou Susu was touched and felt that Shen Qingqian was a person worth making friends with. However, she was not a person who liked to take advantage of others, so she would never take someone else's things for free.

"Qing Qian, it's like this. The second day of the second month is my old lady's birthday, and we have invited some guests to celebrate. I thought that if the vegetables you planted were used as ingredients, the banquet would be a great success.

But, Qing Qian, the prerequisite is that you have to charge money, otherwise I don’t want it. "

Seeing her serious look, Shen Qingqian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take the money! February 2nd, right? That's almost time. I'll arrange it tomorrow and I'll definitely deliver it to you in advance."

"Well, then I'm relieved. Come over when the time comes, and I'll introduce my friends to you. If you plan to do business in the capital in the future, it's always good to know more people."

"Okay, I'll definitely be there."

After seeing Zhou Susu off, Shen Qingqian saw Yingzi sitting there in a daze.

Shen Qingqian thought about it for a moment and guessed why Yingzi looked like this. After Chen Shijun said goodbye to them that day, he never came over.

"Eiko!"

Shen Qingqian called out, but Yingzi didn't respond. She was obviously distracted and didn't hear.

Shen Qingqian sat down opposite her, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her, and Yingzi came back to her senses.

"Girl, what's the matter?"

Shen Qingqian said helplessly: "It's not me, it's you! You're so stupid, you didn't respond even when I called you!"

Yingzi collected her thoughts, smiled, and said, "I was wondering what we should eat tonight?"

Shen Qingqian rolled her eyes at her, and that expression was telling Yingzi that she didn't believe it!

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

Yingzi stood up and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, she was stunned, and then she couldn't hide her smile.

"Master Chen, you are here?"
