A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

Missing a birthday cake.

Huang Mulin secretly thought it was a pity.

She thought about buying it on Taobao, but then she thought it was a bit too extreme and gave up. She will try it again when she has the chance in the future, maybe it will be another business.

Today, refined rice was cooked, and Huang Jinlin got a bowl of longevity noodles with two fried eggs.

Everyone praised Huang Mulin's cooking skills while eating.

This little girl seldom cooks nowadays, but every time she cooks, it amazes people.

With such a great teacher teaching her and her intelligence, she naturally learned very well.

Huang Mulin happily accepted everyone's praise. Although it was a bit of cheating, it was also her hard-earned cooking skills.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

Even Old Wang was full.

When it was getting dark, Old Wang drove the carriage to take Yang Lijun back to town.

Huang Mulin's family cleaned up slowly and chatted, and the days were peaceful and beautiful.

Changling Mansion, the Tang family mansion.

There were six pottery jars in front of Tang Jide. He asked his personal servant to go to the kitchen to get a portion of rice, a portion of plain noodles, a portion of braised beef, and a few white steamed buns.

The servant took the order and went. In less than a moment, he came back with a food box. He placed all the food Tang Jide wanted on the table, then left and closed the door.

Tang Jide opened two jars of fermented bean curd, and Huang Mulin wrote labels on paper and stuck them on the jars to avoid mistakes.

Oil fermented bean curd and slightly spicy oil fermented bean curd, two flavors.

He mixed the two flavors of fermented bean curd into rice, noodles, beef and steamed buns, and took small bites of each.

It is more fragrant, flavorful and delicious than fermented bean curd!

Tang Jide was extremely excited.

He had a hunch that as long as the fermented bean curd business was popularized throughout the Tianxiang Kingdom, the Tang family's business and reputation would definitely rise to a higher level, and it might even surpass other families.

Even, expand into other countries' markets.

How could he not be excited?

Tang Jide stood up unconsciously and walked around the table, his thoughts drifting far away.

After a while, he called the servant in to clean up, and asked the servant to put the fermented bean curd away properly and not let anyone else find it before he came back.

Then he went back to his room and asked his wife to help him pack some clothes. He was going to the capital to do some business and his return date was uncertain. When the elders asked him about it, he said he was going to discuss something.

His wife saw that he looked hurried but not panicked, and thought it should not be a bad thing, so she quickly packed up his belongings.

Soon, the servant took the packed bag and followed Tang Jide to the capital.

Capital city, South Street, Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion.

Tang Jide parked the carriage near the main gate of the Duke's Mansion, got off the carriage, checked that he had not behaved impolitely, and then walked towards the Duke's Mansion.

"Who is it? What's the matter?"

Just as he was three feet away from the gate, the guard at the gate asked.

"Master Bing, I am Tang Jide from the Tang family of Changling Mansion. I have something to ask of you, please pass on the message, Master Bing."

Tang Jide bowed, his attitude neither arrogant nor humble.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has strict discipline. The guards are all former soldiers. Only veterans with good conduct can serve in the Mansion. Everyone who comes here knows that they cannot offer any bribes, otherwise they will not only be rejected but also suffer the consequences.

"Do you have an appointment?"

"No."

"Wait a moment."

"Thank you."

One of the guards went in and reported.

"Butler, there is someone from the Tang family of Changling Mansion outside the door who wants to see you."

The guards entered the compound and looked for the chief steward of the mansion.

"The Tang family of Changling Mansion?" The chief steward thought for a while and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go ask the Duke."

"Yes."

The chief steward came to the door of the study, knocked, pushed the door open and asked after hearing the answer.

Duke Zhenguo Yu Zhenzhou was only in his thirties, but he was already a general who had fought on the battlefield for more than ten years.

Sitting in front of the desk, he has a dignified appearance with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. When the corners of his mouth are slightly pursed, his eyes are extremely attractive. Perhaps it is because he has fought in the battlefields for many years, but even when he sits there, he has an unrivaled aura.

"My Lord, the Tang family of Changling Mansion wants to see you."

Yu Zhenzhou had a history with the Tang family.

At that time, on the frontier, the horse-herding nation outside the Great Wall, a country composed of various powerful tribes - the Matan Kingdom, came to carry out guerrilla harassment and even sent spies into the city.

There was a traitor at the border.

Yu Zhenzhou didn't notice it at first, but he happened to run into Tang Jide who was asking for help.

Due to business matters, the current head of the Tang family, Tang Zhongguan, brought Tang Jide to the border to negotiate and train his son at the same time.

The people in the border areas are mostly tough and casual. The merchant who contacted Tang Zhongguan was named Mo. He was tall and spoke in a heroic manner. He brought several followers with him. He said that in a place like the border area, it was safer to bring some manpower. Although they were in the city, there might still be some potential crises.

Tang Zhongguan and his son did not object. After all, they brought four guards with them when they went out.

When Tang Zhongguan was negotiating with Mo Shangjia, Tang Jide was listening in, but he was also secretly observing everyone at the same time. This observation made him discover a very different person.

Behind the right of the merchant Mo, there was an attendant standing further back, with his head slightly lowered, his left hand unconsciously twiddling a ring.

The problem lies in this ring.

The Tang family is a merchant family with a lot of money, so they naturally have seen many good things. How could a ring of this quality appear on a servant?

Tang Jide was concerned and a little scared at the time.

This is the frontier, and the Tianxiang Kingdom and the Matan Kingdom were at war for years, and it had even reached a white-hot stage. He felt that this trip was a bit risky at first, but Tang Zhongguan thought that it was not easy to get a line to trade with foreign countries, so after much deliberation he decided to make contact.

Tang Jide was very anxious at the moment, but he didn't dare to say anything. He even thought that these so-called "followers" were probably not ordinary people, or even this Mo Shangjia was fake.

If any clues were discovered, perhaps the father and son would not be able to leave this door today.

Think about the small tavern they had contacted. It was located in a remote area with few pedestrians. At that time, they said it was to avoid being seen, but now it seems to have other meanings.

But he didn't understand why they came to him?

Seeing that Tang Zhongguan was still chatting with Mo Shangjia and didn't notice anything unusual, Tang Jide was anxious and kept thinking of a solution.

This is the frontier, and the only people in the city who can help them are officials.

However, from the local officials he had dealt with in the past, even if he offered money, it might not be possible to get the job done, especially since he was still a half-grown child. The officials probably thought that he was deceiving them and was not someone worthy of trust. It would be too dangerous for both father and son to waste time.

Or, border guards.

Marshal Yu!

At that time, Yu Zhenzhou was not yet the Duke of Zhenguo, but he had made many military achievements and made the enemy tremble in fear. He was already the commander of an army.

After determining the rescue target, Tang Jide was considering how to ask for help.

It was impossible to interrupt their conversation and leave directly. He suspected that if he hadn't discovered it today, they would have been detained later. Now Mo Shangjia should want Tang Zhongguan to trust him and then find an opportunity to take action, such as putting knockout drugs in food or water.
