The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing
Chapter 81 Death Warning
"By the way, I came here on the orders of Mr. Si from the Xie Mansion. Mr. Si heard that Miss Qin bought 50 acres of wasteland and must be in need of some farm tools in the short term. He specially asked me and Cang Jiu to deliver them here."
"Master Si also asked the broker to pick out two oxen for farming, but today we are in a hurry, so I will arrange for the broker to deliver them tomorrow."
Doctor Feng saw that Qin Ruo was obviously unwilling to talk more, so he didn't want to force her to talk about the medicine that Old Lady Qin took.
He immediately changed the subject with a smile.
Cang Jiu, who had been acting as a transparent man, immediately moved the things from the carriage one by one.
Everyone looked at the pile of iron farm tools on the ground, and everyone except Qin Ruo gasped.
You have to know that iron products in the Great Sheng Dynasty were extremely expensive. It was very good for ordinary people to have a copper farm tool at home.
Most of the farm tools used in daily farming are made of wood, stone, and bone.
This pile of hoes, shovels, sickles, plowshares... those are things that can only be seen in the homes of the powerful or wealthy.
Using an iron plow and ox-drawn plow is even more unthinkable.
The eyes of the people present were shining. As a farmer who makes a living from the land, these farm tools are extremely precious.
Compared to those rich dishes and gorgeous fabrics, this thing in front of me is obviously more attractive.
Old Man Zhou squatted down excitedly, stroking the farm tools on the ground, reluctant to take his eyes away.
Having good agricultural tools means that productivity can be greatly improved, and farming will naturally be more efficient.
Ironware was scarce during the Great Sheng Dynasty, and this batch of farm tools was a great gift!
Not to mention that Doctor Feng also said that two more oxen would be delivered tomorrow.
"Master Si is really generous. This gift is too expensive. The Qin family can't afford it. Please trouble Doctor Feng to take it back..."
There was no expression on Qin Ruo's face, but her tone became much colder.
"Miss Qin, don't refuse. This is what my master prepared specially for you."
Cang Jiu, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward and bowed to Qin Ruo, interrupting Qin Ruo before Doctor Feng could speak.
Qin Ruo turned her head and looked at Cang Jiu. Thinking of the strange feeling she had that day in Taihe County, her expression became a little more dull.
The guard following Si Heng is no simple person. Don't be fooled by his easy-going and approachable appearance. His shrewd and sharp eyes like a vulture reveal his complexity.
Si Heng's guards? Secret guards?
"Everyone, could you please step aside for a moment? My master has something else to tell Miss Qin."
People at the scene had already sensed that the atmosphere was not right.
Qin Ruo was chatting and laughing with the shopkeepers of Qingfeng Restaurant and Qingfengju, and was even polite to Doctor Feng.
As soon as the person in front of her started speaking, Qin Ruo's tone became much colder and her attitude was not very friendly.
Old Man Zhou also stood up from the ground. Cang Jiu's words did not make everyone retreat. Instead, they all surrounded him, intending to protect Qin Ruo in the middle.
Even Qin Ziyan stood quietly beside Qin Ruo.
This Cang Jiu is different from the shopkeepers of Qingfengju and Qingfeng Restaurant mentioned above. He gives people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Cang Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he turned his gaze to Qin Ruo.
"It's okay, you guys go and do your work. I'll talk to him." Qin Ruo spoke gently, comforting the people around her.
When Zhou Jia and Qin Ziyan brothers heard Qin Ruo say this, they had no choice but to step aside.
Qin Ruo and Cang Jiu were the only ones left at the scene.
"Congratulations to Miss Qin for buying Fumanlou and a new house. My master has something to discuss with you, and would like to invite Miss Qin to come to Taihe County for a gathering soon..."
Cang Jiu had already investigated and found out that Qin Ruo’s relationship with the Qin family was not very good.
He probably didn't want the Qin family to know about the purchase of Fumanlou and the house, so he was considerate and deliberately avoided people from the Qin and Zhou families.
However, it caused misunderstanding and Miss Qin's attitude changed a lot.
Cang Jiu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly explained his purpose.
"You must be the one staring at me these days. Guess what, if I attack you next time, I'm sure I can break your neck."
"Go back and tell your master that I, Qin Ruo, am used to being free and don't like being watched by others."
Qin Ruo's eyes suddenly turned cold, without a trace of warmth in them, and her attitude was extremely arrogant.
No wonder she always felt like someone was watching her in the dark when she was in Taihe County yesterday.
She didn't care much at the time. She thought it might be someone sent by that old fox Si Heng, but she was not sure at the time.
I just bought the restaurant and the house yesterday, and this Mr. Si knew about it immediately.
Now that someone has come to me on his own initiative, it's a good opportunity for me to vent the anger in my heart.
Qin Ruo was extremely unhappy. That Si guy dared to point out the matter so openly. Wasn't he telling her clearly that everything was under his control?
To put it bluntly, the relationship between him and Mr. Si is just a partnership.
Who can be happy if they are being followed all day long?
It’s just like in modern times, when people install a surveillance camera on you.
Is there any privacy at all?
Who doesn't have some secrets? Qin Ruo was quite displeased with Si Heng's behavior that crossed the line.
Qin Ruo's cold eyes at this moment were as if she was looking at a corpse.
Cang Jiu suddenly felt a chill on his back. He touched his nose and looked away guiltily.
"Well... Miss Qin, calm down. My young master..."
Cang Jiu hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain it clearly.
During this period, Si Heng did not let go of his curiosity about Qin Ruo and kept Cang Jiu keeping an eye on her.
Of course he knew that Qin Ruo had been away from Changhe Village.
Everything Qin Ruo did when she just returned to Taihe County was clear to everyone.
Although the Xie Mansion seems low-key, its intelligence network is quite large and they know Qin Ruo's movements almost perfectly.
"Don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ! If your young master is not interested in cooperating, then this is the end. Take everything you brought back..."
"Miss Qin, your words are too serious. I would like to apologize to you first. Don't worry, I will definitely tell you what Miss Qin meant."
Seeing that Qin Ruo was really angry, Cang Jiu quickly made a promise.
Cang Jiu knew Si Heng's attitude towards Qin Ruo.
Otherwise, how could he go through so much trouble to send these things to Qin Ruo?
If the two of them fell out because of my trip, wouldn't my own master expose my true colors?
My lord, you are so good! You roast charcoal fire at home by yourself, but let me bear Miss Qin's anger alone.
Cang Jiu was madly complaining about his master in his heart.
"That would be great! When I'm done with these two days, I'll go meet up with your young master."
"Also, tell your young master that I will naturally do what I promised him. He doesn't need to send anyone to keep an eye on me." Qin Ruo saw that Cang Jiu looked submissive and retracted her aura at the right time.
Although she didn't like being stared at, she had her bottom line and had no intention of going back on her word.
