A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

That morning, Master Zhou sent someone to find Shen Qingqian and asked her to go to the Zhou Mansion.

Shen Qingqian hadn't had time to visit Master Zhou in the past few days since she came back from the capital! Now the teacher had to send someone to invite her personally. Shen Qingqian felt that she was really incompetent as a student!

Every time she went to Zhou's house before, Shen Qingqian would prepare some delicious food in advance and bring it with her. Today, she was in a hurry and had no time to prepare it, so she brought some vegetables with her.

Shen Qingqian originally thought that Master Zhou called her over to ask her about matters in the capital.

But when she entered the house, she found that there was another guest in the Zhou Mansion, and he was looking for her through Master Zhou.

Seeing Shen Qingqian coming in, Master Zhou said in a gentle tone: "Qingqian girl is here, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Xiao, he came here specially to see you."

Shen Qingqian looked over and saw that Mr. Xiao was about 25 or 26 years old, handsome and elegant. He held a folding fan in his hand, showing his romantic charm.

Although Mr. Xiao had a gentle smile on his face, he couldn't hide the shrewdness in his eyes.

Shen Qingqian bowed slightly and said with a formal smile: "Hello, Mr. Xiao."

While Shen Qingqian was looking at Master Xiao, Master Xiao was also looking at Shen Qingqian calmly.

After Shen Qingqian greeted him, he also clasped his hands in greeting and said straight to the point: "This is Miss Shen, right? I'm Xiao Zichuan, and the reason I came here is because I heard that Miss Shen has coal."

When Shen Qingqian heard this, her eyes lit up.

"I'm Shen Qingqian. Mr. Xiao, are you here to buy coal?"

"Well, I just don't know the price..."

Shen Qingqian did not answer directly, but asked: "May I ask what Mr. Xiao does?"

Xiao Zichuan replied: "I run a restaurant."

At this time, Master Zhou interrupted and said, "Mr. Xiao is a big businessman. From the capital to Jiangnan, he has restaurants in almost all the counties in between."

Shen Qingqian understood, it turned out to be a big client who ran a chain store!

The smile on her face became more sincere, and she said, "If the monthly purchase volume is less than 500 tons, each ton will be four taels of silver. If it exceeds 500 tons per month, each ton will be three taels and six cents of silver."

Xiao Zichuan didn't think much about it and said, "Okay, then I'll take 600 tons per month!"

Shen Qingqian didn't expect him to be so straightforward! This gave Shen Qingqian the illusion that the coal business was difficult to do except with Chu Heng, but it was still easy to do business with other people!

The two discussed some details and signed the contract smoothly.

What Shen Qingqian didn't expect was that after Xiao Zichuan left, Master Zhou had a surprise for her!

Then Master Zhou said, "Three families in the capital have sent letters, saying they want to buy coal from you.

These three families are all wealthy families in the capital, and the coal they buy is for their own use, so the quantity should not be large, but you still need to go and negotiate with them in person."

Shen Qingqian didn't expect that after being in Beijing for so long without any business, she already had so many customers coming to her door after just a few days of returning!

However, Shen Qingqian knew that this was all thanks to Master Zhou. If it weren't for the title of "Master Zhou's student", who would believe her so easily?

On the way back from Zhou's house, Shen Qingqian was in a good mood. She didn't take a carriage, but hummed a song while walking. Nothing makes people happier than making money!

When Shen Qingqian returned to the hot pot restaurant, just as she was about to push the door open, the door opened from the inside, and a basin of water poured out.

Shen Qingqian reacted very quickly and jumped away with a "whoosh". But some water still splashed onto her dress.

what's the situation?

Shen Qingqian looked over and saw Shen Qinglan standing there stupidly with a basin in his hand.

The person who splashed water turned out to be Shen Qinglan!

"Sister, what are you doing?"

"Qing Qian, why is it you?"

The two sisters spoke at the same time.

Shen Qinglan said again: "Qingqian, are you okay? I thought it was..."

"Ah? Who are you going to throw water at?"

Shen Qinglan looked in the opposite direction and said awkwardly: "I thought it was him."

Shen Qingqian followed her gaze and saw Gu Nan standing there, looking at the two sisters with an expression that was hard to describe.

"Gu Nan? Sister, is he here to see you?"

Shen Qinglan said unhappily: "Ignore him, let's go back!"

Shen Qingqian glanced at Gu Nan again, and entered the hot pot restaurant with Shen Qinglan.

"Sister, what's going on? What does Gu Nan mean by coming to see you?"

When the two sisters returned to the house in the backyard, Shen Qingqian hurriedly asked.

Shen Qinglan said: "He came here often a few days ago, saying that he wanted to see Liangzi. I didn't stop him because he was a nice guy.

Who would have thought that just two days before you came back, someone from the Gu family suddenly showed up and said they wanted to recognize Liangzi and that they wanted me to be Gu Nan's concubine! Isn't that infuriating?"

"Ah? The Gu family is really shameless! So what did you say?"

"I used a broom to chase them away, telling them not to bother my son and me! But the Gu family said I was ungrateful! In short, we parted on bad terms, and the grudge between me and the Gu family got deeper and deeper!"

"So, when Gu Nan came to your house today, you threw water on him?"

Shen Qinglan said angrily: "He came to me today and told me that other people in the Gu family could not represent his opinion and asked me not to take it to heart. I was quite satisfied with his attitude. Unexpectedly, he said that he would not let me be a concubine and would marry me. So I drove him out!

Later, he stood outside and refused to leave, so I brought out a basin of water and wanted to throw it on him. Unexpectedly, when I came out, he had already walked away, and it was you who was standing at the door! "

Shen Qingqian laughed, "Then I really came back at the wrong time, I almost took a cold shower.

But, sister, you did the right thing. No one in the Gu family is a good person. Marrying into the Gu family is like jumping into a fire pit!

This Gu Nan is relatively good, right? You can at most let him meet Liang Zi, but he should not have any other wishful thinking! "

"Yeah, that's what I thought too."

The two sisters talked for a while, and it was already noon, so they went back to the shop to work.

The next day, Shen Qingqian got up early in the morning and planned to go to Heishi Mountain to see the situation of coal mining.

Just as Zhang Sheng prepared the carriage for her, Shen Qingping came over to call her, saying that Shen Dakuan had arrived and was waiting at the hot pot restaurant, and asked all the sisters to come over.

Since Shen Qingfeng got married, Shen Qingqian has never seen the Shen family. She almost forgot about them! She also didn't know what Shen Dakuan came to her house for today?

Shen Qingqian asked reluctantly, "Are my elder sister and I going to see him too?"

Shen Qingping said helplessly: "Let's go and take a look. After all, he is our biological father."
