Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Yue Niang laughed and said, "Since this lady cannot make the decision, why don't you go back and discuss it with the boss before talking again."

The short woman quietly tugged at her companion's collar, but she impatiently pushed it away.

"Before we came, the boss specifically asked us to let the boss of Wenyuefang know that our boss also knows how to make the eight-treasure pickles that your shop makes."

The tall woman rolled her eyes and said with some disdain.

Now, even Yue Niang couldn't hold it anymore.

"Since your boss can do it on his own, why does he need to cooperate with us? I think this lady may have misunderstood your boss's intention, so she is so vague and doesn't know anything."

Yue Niang smiled and stood up to see the guest off.

The two women had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

Before leaving, the tall woman said something harsh: "If we don't discuss this today, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to discuss this with my boss tomorrow."

Yue Niang sneered, did not answer, and watched them leave.

Only after they had disappeared without a trace did Yue Niang take a deep breath and calm herself down.

Cheng Suying brought a bowl of herbal tea and said with a smile, "Here, drink it to cool down your internal heat."

Yue Niang didn't hesitate to take it and drank it all in one gulp, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm really pissed off. This boss of Wu's Pickle Shop, if he's not deliberately looking for trouble, then he's out of his mind. Why did he send this thing here? What is he talking about?"

Cheng Suying smiled and pulled her to the accounting office. When they entered, they saw Du Wenxiu sitting there leisurely drinking tea.

"Oh, you really know how to enjoy yourself. You leave me there to beat that nonsense while you stay here to have some peace and quiet."

Yue Niang screamed in surprise, with a look of despair on her face, and sat down on the chair next to Du Wenxiu with the bowl of cold tea in her hand.

"The owner of the Wu's Pickle Shop must be out of his mind. He sent this guy to talk, but he can't explain anything clearly."

Du Wenxiu laughed non-stop on the side.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh, you are still laughing." It seemed that Yue Niang was very angry.

Du Wenxiu quickly stopped laughing and said seriously, "I also think that woman is very confused. You have come here to discuss cooperation, why are you still being so secretive?"

"Unless..." Seeing that Du Wenxiu was still keeping the secret, Yue Niang asked anxiously, "Unless what? Do you have any guesses?"

Du Wenxiu smiled slightly: "I don't have any guesses, but I have a little bit of speculation."

Before Yue Niang could get angry, she said, "You see, whether she is here to discuss cooperation or merger, the real boss won't show up and send someone under him."

"Even if the two women who came today are of more important status, will we send Madam Chi to discuss such an important matter with others?"

Yue Niang seemed to understand something, nodded slightly, looked at her again, and motioned for her to continue.

"This woman also said she was the boss's sister-in-law. Who knows if there is any secret we don't know..."

Du Wenxiu pondered and felt a little regretful for handling the matter too arbitrarily.

If you can say a few more words, you might be able to get some information out of him.

"Who cares? I really despise the way that woman talks and does things. I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll talk about it when I come again. If you don't want to come, forget it."

Yue Niang was quite generous. Seeing her like this, Du Wenxiu smiled happily and let go of the matter.

After a few days, there was no movement in Wu's Pickle Shop, but there was news of a big event.

——The emperor passed away.

Rumor has it that the emperor did not die of natural causes, but died an unnatural death.

As for how he died, this is a royal matter that cannot be disclosed to the public, but there are many different opinions in private.

The emperor is dead, but life still goes on, especially since the crown prince is missing.

All the civil and military officials in the court said: The country cannot be without a king for a day.

Now, Prince Ning's troops are stationed outside the capital, watching the situation covetously. All the princes and lords in the capital are keeping a low profile, hoping that the world will pretend that they don't exist.

As expected by all, Prince Ning ascended the throne.

Empress Dowager Rong is still the Empress Dowager. Although she is the biological mother of the late emperor, she is also the adoptive mother of the current emperor.

Prince Ning's biological mother was of humble status, a maid who came with Empress Dowager Rong as a dowry. She died after giving birth to the child.

Prince Ning was raised by Empress Dowager Rong until he was a fiefdom outside the capital.

Now that the emperor has died suddenly, Prince Ning has ascended the throne, and Queen Mother Rong has appeared at the coronation ceremony.

Queen Mother Rong had only one goal - to not allow Prince Ning's son Zhao Shuo to be made the crown prince.

If Prince Ning did not agree, she would die in front of the palace, leaving Prince Ning with the eternal infamy of being unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial.

Prince Ning was reluctant to agree at first, but Crown Prince Zhao Shuo knelt down and begged, so he agreed and ascended the throne smoothly.

The first thing the new emperor did when he ascended the throne was to enfeoff the princes and expel them from the capital.

Empress Dowager Rong still lived in Changle Palace in splendor.

The emperor now has two sons. He makes the crown prince the King of England and grants him a royal palace.

The second son was named Prince of Fu, but because he was still young, he temporarily lived in the palace.

What people talk about most is nothing more than the royal family's trivial affairs, and many people feel sorry for the King of England.

I wonder if Queen Mother Rong is targeting King Ying in this way just because she doesn't want the Emperor to be too happy.

But all this is still too far away for Du Wenxiu. The only thing that concerns her is probably wondering when Lu Fanghai will come back.

While everyone was eagerly waiting, Lu Fanghai did not come back. Instead, he told people that he would not be back in a short time.

He did not ask Du Wenxiu to go to Beijing for a reunion. Instead, he told her not to go out unless necessary, to take care of the workshop at home and take good care of her health.

Du Wenxiu was secretly a little angry.

When the war breaks out, if I stay with him I will only cause trouble, so it is better for me to stay at home.

Now that the war was over, he didn't even mention a word about asking me to pack up my property and live a good life with him.

I couldn't help but let my mind wander.

Who knows, this man might have met some weak girl from a poor family in the prosperous capital, who would look down on him as a peasant woman, thus embarrassing him.

When Chi Linghua came to the workshop to discuss something, Cheng Suying followed her instructions and quietly asked her daughter Cheng Xiaomei to call her over.

Chi Linghua was not prepared for her to come so quickly. He said he was leaving after finishing his work, but when he went out, he saw Du Wenxiu standing in the workshop with her hands on her hips, blocking his way.

Chi Linghua couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was in no hurry to leave, so he greeted Du Wenxiu and congratulated him.

"Now that Brother Lu is the lieutenant of the King of England, he has earned a lot of honor for Madam Du. I congratulate my sister-in-law!"

Du Wenxiu stood in the courtyard, not caring about the people coming and going over there. The women working there looked at him from time to time, smiling and looking at him:

"Don't rush to congratulate me. I wonder if Lu Fanghai's happy event is promotion, wealth, or marriage? I want to ask Master Chi for advice."

Chi Linghua couldn't help but shook his head and said:

"What are you talking about, Madam Du? Brother Lu is truly devoted to Madam Du, and heaven and earth can bear witness to that. If he heard Madam Du's words, I'm afraid he would wake up crying in the middle of the night."

Du Wenxiu snorted coldly, looked him up and down, and said:

"For you men, isn't the most satisfying thing in life to be promoted, get rich, and have your wife die?"

"He seems to be thinking of our old relationship and not asking me to go to the capital. Who knows, he might have married a new wife in the capital."
