Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

Nanny Sun and the others were all subordinates of the former master Jiang Yuan.

A new emperor appoints new ministers. Jiang Jiu is now taking over a small boat, so she must have her own subordinates. Otherwise, Nanny Sun and the others are old and it is time for them to enjoy their retirement. Why should she let them work so hard?

Nanny Qian introduced Xiao Yimo, Jiao Niang, Chu Yu, Mudan and others to them.

Chu Yu looked at Madam Sun carefully and said, "This madam looks very kind. Was she also there on the day Hua Man Lou opened?"

Nanny Sun smiled lovingly: "I am here. It was the girl Si Rui who asked me to come that day, specifically to visit the young master."

I went there as a guest to help out.

"Most of us old shopkeepers are pretty good. After all, the rules set by the masters are there. The more the masters earn, the more we servants get."

"I don't know when it started, but Manager Cheng and Manager Wu started to have a disagreement. In recent years, every time they hold an annual meeting, they start arguing fiercely."

Nanny Sun sighed, "Cheng Jiarui never listens to what I say. I also heard that he set up a small workshop of his own, but the products he produced were not good, and he didn't dare to use the Yiye Pianzhou sign. He was sued by Wu Yuan several times, and the matter was eventually dropped."

A small boat without a leader is like a pile of loose sand.

Madam Zhao snorted coldly, "He simply thinks his possessions can earn him more money. He doesn't even consider that the money is right there. If he has the guts, he can just go get it. I think he's just greedy."

Qin Yuan, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this moment.

"Master, you are right to use Wu Yuan to contain Shopkeeper Cheng. Shopkeeper Wu is an upright man. If he finds that Shopkeeper Cheng is abusing his power for personal gain and selling counterfeit goods, he will definitely pursue him relentlessly."

When Jiang Jiu heard this, he looked at Xiao Yimo, and Xiao Yimo nodded slightly.

It seems that some things are not what she imagined.

Xiao Yimo suddenly asked, "They say that Shopkeeper Wu has a daughter at home, and that she's Madam Jiang's daughter. What's going on?"

Qin Yuan sighed: "Miss Chang does look a bit like the young master. Wu Yuan discovered her half a year ago and thought she was the young master, so he took her home to raise her. He never found the token, so he just told us."

Nanny Sun shook her head coldly: "No, his temperament is nothing like the master's. He is more like the young master, and his surname is Chang. The master said that anyone who wants to be the master of a small boat must take the mother's surname."

It seems there is another story, but it doesn’t matter anymore.

Jiang Jiu will make those who plot conspiracy slap themselves in the face.

After getting to know each other, it was time to go back. Next, they had to arrange their own time to handle business. Jiang Jiu didn't care about that.

Nanny Qian took Chu Yu, and Mudan and the others also followed Nanny Sun and the others.

Jiang Jiu and Xiao Yimo were the only ones left in the teahouse.

Xiao Yimo took out the broken ring from his arms and looked at Jiang Jiu in confusion: "Why don't you explain it to me? You made me worry for so long."

Jiang Jiu casually put the ring into Xiao Yimo's hand.

"It's just a trick to make Manager Cheng and his men relax their vigilance, and to make the King of Qi and the court stop keeping an eye on us."

"Xiao Yimo, Princess Qiyang came to Sucheng, firstly for the King of Qi, and secondly, for a small boat. I won't be a lamb to be slaughtered. Are you ready?"

Jiang Jiu is ready to make all his secret recipes public.

Xiao Yimo put the real ring on his thumb and sighed deeply.

"I'm ready, but I'm afraid you won't be willing to part with it. After all, sugar and salt refining are both highly profitable monopoly industries."

Jiang Yuan made her fortune from these recipes, and later she taught the recipes to more than 20 people.

Unless we arrest all the people in the Yiye Boat Workshop, we will never get to the real place.

This is also why the imperial court wanted to get the secret recipe, but they couldn't ask for it directly. They had to resort to deception and fraud, and even risked the life of Jiang Jiu's mother Jiang Qiuyue.

Jiang Jiu was also helpless: "For the benefit of the people, they didn't hesitate to kill my mother for this craft. It was also thanks to my grandmother's good confidentiality system. Otherwise, this small boat would no longer exist."

"It's possible that some people have already defected to the imperial court. However, even if the secret recipe is revealed, they may not follow it. Business relies on brains."

Doing business is like cooking. Even if the ingredients are the same, the taste will be different. Some people cook delicious food while others don’t.

The contact has been arranged, and the next thing to deal with is the two most difficult people.

One is Cheng Jiarui, who has always wanted to monopolize power.

The other is Wu Yuan, who has always been against Cheng Jiarui.

It seems that after Jiang Jiu threw the ring to the public, Cheng Jiarui has not made any movement.

However, Wu Yuan kept making small moves. In addition to the last assassination and theft, he also sneaked into Chu Yu's room from time to time.

I don’t know what he is looking for?

The two of them were talking as they walked out. As they were walking, a young girl about the same age as Jiang Jiu came towards them. She was wearing a veil and was very graceful.

Just as she passed by Jiang Jiu, she suddenly said something softly.

"Be careful, girl. Someone is trying to assassinate me."

As she was speaking, suddenly, a sword light brushed past Jiang Jiu's ear and directly hit the pillar behind her.

At the same time, Xiao Yimo kicked the woman, and she fell down the stairs, but grabbed the handrail with one hand and a dagger in the other hand.

Xiao Yimo reacted quickly, grabbed Jiang Jiu's hand and ran out quickly.

The woman leaped up the stairs with another sword leap and flew up, chasing Jiang Jiu relentlessly.

Two big men also appeared in the hall, stood up and blocked the way of Xiao Yimo and Jiang Jiu.

"Xiaojiu, hide, I'll deal with them."

Xiao Yimo protected Jiang Jiu behind him.

Jiang Jiu pulled out a dagger from his boot: "It's okay, I can do it."

The two big guys were nothing to worry about, but the girl who caught up with them was deadly with every strike of her sword.

Jiang Jiu's kung fu was indeed only for self-defense. He was beaten so badly that he had no power to fight back and could only dodge in a panic.

"Who sent you? Even if you kill me, you won't get the secret recipe."

The girl who was chasing him was indeed slightly startled, and then stabbed him with the sword again.

"Then I can kill you and still get my job done."

Xiao Yimo's kung fu was only slightly better than Jiang Jiu's. After a few moves, his arm was bruised.

Jiang Jiu was in such a mess that his clothes were torn, and he was dodging around the screen.

In difficult times, Lu Yunyang brought Lu Ming down from the sky.

"You dare to touch my woman? I'll chop her up and take her back for questioning."

Lu Ming brought the guards of the palace and captured the man in no time, including the woman, but just when Lu Ming tore off the woman's veil.

Lu Yunyang was completely stunned.

"Niao Niao, is that you?"

The woman looked at Lu Yunyang warily, and glared at him stubbornly with her bright eyes.

"Who are you? I don't know you."

Lu Yunyang touched the woman's face and twisted it hard. He found a noticeable lump of flesh on her left ear, which ordinary people don't have.

Lu Yunyang was overjoyed. "It's been three years, Niao Niao. I finally found you. Come, take her back and take good care of her."

Jiang Jiu and Xiao Yimo on the side stared at Lu Ming together.

"Who is Niao Niao?"
