Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Qian's house, Madam Qian walked into the house, "Look at you, you are greedy and insatiable, now you are fine, everyone is saying that the current county magistrate is young and capable, it's true, he really checked the accounts."

Qian Lou was drinking tea without a care in the world. Madam Qian slammed the table in anger and shouted, "Mr. Qian, I'm telling you, that county magistrate will definitely come again tomorrow. You'd better come up with a solution. He embezzled so much money and asked you to take our family away from Lucheng, even to Liangzhou, but you refused to leave. Now he's here to collect the debt."

Qian Lou calmly walked to Madam Qian and comforted her, "Madam, don't be angry. No matter how powerful he is, it has been so long, five years, and he won't come back. Madam, aren't you good friends with the Princess Royal? Besides, haven't you already sent a letter to the Princess Royal? The Princess Royal will come to my Lucheng. Then I will see what Li Ziyan is capable of."

After hearing this, Madam Qian looked at Qian Lou and understood what he meant. "Yes, but I don't know when the princess will come."

Qian Lou sat in his clothes humming a little tune and muttering, "The new county magistrate, Li Ziyan... Hum, you are a little kid who has not even fully grown up, and you dare to ask me, Qian Lou, for money before you come of age. You should have found out who I am before asking for money." Then he sighed, "You are really a young man!"

Zhao Junning was in the Rouge Shop, and after tidying up a bit, she said, "Okay, everything is almost ready. We'll open tomorrow, everyone go back and have a good rest."

Then he said, "Here is your monthly salary." Fuling and Gancao brought two plates and gave each person in the rouge shop a bag containing five taels of silver. The guys were all happy.

Zhao Junning said, "You have all worked very hard this month and have earned a lot of money. The standard will remain the same in the future, but I will still distribute according to work." The guys in the rouge shop thanked her without complaint.

After Zhao Junning gave instructions again, she also left the Rouge Shop. When she got on the carriage, she found Mo Yu and Fei Zhou there, so she asked, "Why are you here? Where is Zi Yan?" Fei Zhou saluted and said, "The young master went to the Qian Mansion with Young Master Lin and Young Master Xu to collect debts today, so Mo Yu and I don't need to follow him. Let us protect the young lady." Zhao Junning thought about it and didn't say anything extra, "Okay, I know, let's go to the food shop."

The carriage drove away. "Oh, Madam, we've arrived at the food shop." After getting off the carriage, Zhao Junning did not go to the food shop but went to the grain shop outside the food shop. Since the food shop was located at the edge of a busy street, it was very popular with customers. In the grain shop, Uncle Liu, who managed the food shop, also took care of the grain shop. When he saw Zhao Junning coming, he stepped forward and said, "Madam." Zhao Junning nodded and asked, "It seems that the grain in the grain shop is selling very well." Uncle Liu nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, the rice smells good, and there are also soybeans."

Zhao Junning nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, today's alms food looks pretty good, but it won't work all the time. There is nothing free in the world."

Then he thought for a moment and smiled, "Uncle Liu, add one condition when you offer fasting tomorrow. You can say that everything is an exchange of benefits. We are not gods. You can say that it is what I said. We can offer fasting every day but they also have to work hard. Uncle Liu, you know best what kind of food or vegetables to grow in winter. You can put some winter grain seeds here and tell them that if they work hard to grow food, we will not only pay them but also continue to offer fasting."

Then he said to Mo Yu, "Mo Yu, go back today and tell the servants in the mansion to help grow crops if they are strong enough. The climate in the north is dry, but I think the crops grown there should be good."

"Yes, this condition is very good. No one in this world will give unconditionally." Zhao Junning looked over and said, "Sister-in-law Lanzhi! Why are you here?" Feng Lanzhi smiled and walked forward and said, "I came to see Boss Zhao's business." Liu Bo, Feizhou Moyu, and Fuling Gancao bowed.

Feng Lanzhi smiled and looked at the grain shop, "Jun Ning, you are really amazing. I have always heard your elder brother Yang say that you are a businessman without emotions, and never talk about emotions when doing business. I didn't see it when the food shop opened last time, but today, it's true!" Zhao Jun Ning was a little ashamed, "Sister-in-law, you are joking, how can you be so amazing."

Zhao Junning gestured to go into the dining room to chat. After the three of them entered the dining room, Feng Lanzhi's eyes were full of love for Zhao Junning, "Junning, don't be modest. You are only fifteen years old now. Girls of your age are either married and stay at home with their children, or stay at home. You are different. You are both knowledgeable and capable. I like you very much."

Fuling and Gancao were puzzled after hearing this, not knowing whether Feng Lanzhi was praising or scolding. Only Zhao Junning was smiling. She understood that although the girl in front of her was six years older than her, she liked her in her eyes and heart, and was praising her. The only one who had praised her so seriously and carefully from the inside out since she was a child was Li Ziyan.

Feng Lanzhi is also a straightforward woman, she likes to speak directly and doesn't like to beat around the bush, but she is also gentle, virtuous, generous and decent. Zhao Junning smiled and nodded and poured a cup of tea for Feng Lanzhi: "That's what sister-in-law said, I like sister-in-law too. In fact, I used to stay at home, but later I changed my personality and felt that women should not be confined to a yard, and should do what they like." The two chatted happily and for a long time, "Junning, you are really interesting, and you are a perfect match for your Li Ziyan."
