Jiang Xingyu lowered her head and looked at the bracelet on her hand. She had a lot of good things on her hand. From the warm texture on her hand, she could tell that this thing was very precious.
Jiang Xingyu turned to look at Ning Wei.
Ning Wei raised her right hand towards her and said: "Accept my aunt's wish. My aunt's place was a pair, now you have one and I have one."
When Jiang Xingyu saw it, he accepted the bracelet with peace of mind, stretched out his hands, and stepped forward to hug Mrs. Jiang, "Thank you, great-aunt, I like this meeting gift very much."
Mrs. Jiang smiled and patted Jiang Xingyu on the back, "As long as you like it, come and play often in the future."
"Thank you, great aunt, Zhangzhu will take care of you." Jiang Xingyu responded.
Ning Wei saw Mrs. Jiang looking at Jiang Xingyu blankly, and explained with a smile: "Zhangzhu is Xingyu's maiden name. She is the only girl in the Jiang family, and the family dotes on her as the name of Zhangzhu, so
Take the pearl from my palm."
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Xingyu again and said with a smile: "He is well-behaved and sensible. He is indeed a jewel in the palm of his hand."
Jiang Xingyu smiled and took over the words, "My aunt is really good at judging people, and her palm is really well-behaved and sensible."
Ning Wei smiled and said: "You really don't understand what modesty is."
Jiang Xingyu raised his chin and asked, "What is modesty?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
The laughter and laughter spread outside the hospital and reached the ears of those who cared.
Mrs. Qian liked Jiang Xingyu who was full of confidence. She smiled and wiped her eyes and said, "No need, a girl should be so confident."
After joking for a while, Ning Wei took Jiang Xingyu and said goodbye to the two old people.
Mrs. Qian said with a smile: "Go, bring more people and pay attention to safety."
After Ning Wei and Jiang Xingyu left, Mrs. Jiang asked: "Xingyu is Min Yatou's granddaughter? She has eyes exactly like Min Yatou."
Mrs. Qian smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, Xingyu is Miss Wu's granddaughter."
Old Mrs. Jiang then asked: "In recent years, you and Min Yatou have not been together much?"
Mrs. Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Wu was only on good terms with Sister Qing back then, and Miss Wu and I were only casual acquaintances.
The few times we met, Sister Qing took me with her.
Later, Sister Qing left, and my contact with Miss Wu also ended.
When you get married and have a family, everyone has their own things to do. When you want to meet, you don’t have time. When you have time, you can’t think of it.
Later, something happened in my family, and Sister Wei and her mother-in-law passed away.
I, Brother Yu and Sister Wei lived in seclusion and rarely went to anyone's house for banquets. Therefore, I almost never met Miss Wu.
Miss Wu is now a highly respected Mrs. Wu in the circle of aristocratic families in the capital.
There is a niece who is a queen, a brother who is a prince, and a husband who is a minister.
The gap between us is as big as clouds and mud. It's not easy for me to get in front of others to avoid misunderstandings."
In front of Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Qian did not hide anything and spoke out her thoughts frankly.
Mrs. Jiang looked at Mrs. Qian and said with a smile: "You are exactly the same as before, you haven't changed at all.
I am always afraid of causing trouble to others and disturbing others.
They say that you are older at the age of three and older at the age of seven. I still believe in Min girl’s character.
She is not a snobbish person. The reason why she does not take the initiative to contact you is probably because she cares about your thoughts and is afraid that you will think too much.
Both of you like to think about others, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Alas, being too considerate of others can lead to a lot of misunderstandings."
Thinking about the gifts that Mrs. Qi brought several times, Mrs. Qian already agreed with Mrs. Jiang's statement. She just didn't want to admit it because of her face.
When Mrs. Jiang saw Mrs. Qian turning her face to one side, she pursed her lips and smiled, shook her head and said, "You are dozens of years old, but you are still like a child!"
On the other side, Ning Wei and Jiang Xingyu got into the car. Jiang Xingyu asked, "Did the old lady come here specially to talk to Mrs. Jiang?"
Ning Wei shook her head and told Jiang Xingyu what happened yesterday.
After hearing this, Jiang Xingyu couldn't help scolding the Zhao family. Finally, he said: "That's good. In this way, Ah Wei and Brother Ning will completely get rid of the Zhao family."
Ning Wei nodded and said: "Yes, I think so too. Thanks to Ms. Zhao for her troubles, if she hadn't taken action, my grandmother would not have been so angry that Ning Guangyan wrote a letter of renunciation."
Jiang Xingyu sympathized with Mrs. Qian a little, and sighed: "Forcing her son to sever ties with her grandchildren, it must be very painful for Mrs. Qian, right?"
Ning Wei let out a long sigh and nodded, "Grandma must be feeling bad. When she came out of Qili Street yesterday, she leaned on the carriage and sighed. She was so haggard that people couldn't bear to see...
Fortunately, when I returned to Mingyuan, I met Mrs. Jiang. I never expected that Mrs. Jiang is very good at persuading people. My grandmother felt much better after listening to my aunt's words."
Jiang Xingyu raised his arms to hug Ning Wei, stretched out his hand to press her head on his shoulder, and said softly: "Awei, don't be afraid. From now on, you have me. Life will get better and better."
Ning Wei leaned against Jiang Xingyu and responded in a low voice: "Thank you Xingyu! Zhao and Ning Guangyan are my brother and I's nightmare. If we get rid of them, my brother and I's nightmare will be over. From now on, it will be difficult again."
, I am confident that I will live a good life."
Jiang Xingyu patted Ning Wei's shoulder gently, "The reason why Mrs. Zhao is arrogant is because she is rich.
Let's work hard, make money, make a lot of money, and let Brother Ning develop his career. Ah Wei, when you have money and power, Zhao will never bully you again."
Ning Wei looked forward and said faintly: "After all these things, I have realized a truth. If you are rich, you must be rich. In the days to come, I will make money well and make piles of money."
Jiang Xingyu turned his head and looked at Ning Wei, "Okay! Ah Wei, they say thirty years to the east of Hedong and thirty years to the west of Hexi. You have me. It doesn't take thirty years, it only takes ten years. Let's let Mrs. Zhao take a good look.
Let her look down upon others."
Jiang Xingyu's words made Ning Wei's heart warm. She turned to meet Jiang Xingyu's gaze, smiled and nodded: "Okay! Thank you Xingyu."
Jiang Xingyu raised his hand and pinched Ning Wei's face, "We can only say thank you to each other. I can't bear to see Zhao's arrogance."
"Miss, we're in the east of the city. Should we go to the dock or to Xingyuan on Sanjing Road?" Xu Yan asked.
Ning Wei looked at Jiang Xingyu and asked, "Xingyu, should we go to the dock first or Xingyuan first?"
Jiang Xingyu said: "Let's go to the dock first and have a look."
Xu Yan responded, "Okay! I understand. There are many people on the pier. The two ladies must remember to put on their hats when getting off the bus."
"Okay, got it!" Ning Wei turned around and handed the curtain hat to Jiang Xingyu, helped her put it on, then took her own curtain hat and put it on.
Xu Yan drove the carriage to the parking lot, handed the whip to the man in charge of guarding it, took the pair of cards from the man's hand, turned around and told Chang Le, who arrived later, "Give the car to them, put away the sign, and show it to them later."
Pick up the car with the sign.”
Ning Wei saw Hu Rui and the others getting out of the car and said to Jiang Xingyu, "Let's go."
Ning Wei has been here several times before and is quite familiar with this area.
Jiang Xingyu came back to the pier for the first time, and everything he saw was strange. "Awei, this pier is like a market, so lively."
Ning Wei reached out and held Jiang Xingyu's hand to prevent her from being separated.
"This is the market. There are many merchants from other places who come to the capital to sell their goods. If they don't have the time and energy to do retail, they will sell their goods on the dock to retail people in the capital.
If conditions permit, we will rent a room at the dock for long-term sales. If conditions do not, we will temporarily rent a stall there after the goods arrive in Beijing.
Those stalls are calculated on a daily basis. How much money is charged per day? Tenants are calculated on a daily basis, and they will be paid according to the number of days they rent.
The grain for our rice shop was purchased from that shop."
Ning Wei explained to Jiang Xingyu and raised his finger to show her.
Jiang Xingyu looked in the direction of Ning Wei's finger and asked, "Which one? Jiangnan Rice Shop?"
Ning Wei nodded, "Yes, Jiangnan Rice Store. The owner of Jiangnan Rice Store is named Lou, and everyone calls him Shopkeeper Lou.
I have had several dealings with Shopkeeper Lou, and he is very honest and has a lot to say.
If the rice is good, it is good; if it is poor, it is poor; if you get what you pay for, you will make money, and he will make it in the open."
Jiang Xingyu nodded, "This kind of person is good."
Ning Wei took Jiang Xingyu and continued to walk forward, "When I have time later, I will take you to Jiangnan Rice Shop. The lady in charge of Lou is very good at cooking.
Also, their rice wine is very well made, and paired with fine shreds of ginger and rock sugar, it’s simply delicious.”
"Really? That makes me want to take a look now." Jiang Xingyu became excited and looked up at Jiangnan Rice Shop.
Ning Wei said: "There are a lot of things today, let's move on to another day."
The group walked through the long market. Ning Wei pointed to the crowded gate in front and said: "We're here, ahead is the Dongshui Wharf."
Jiang Xingyu glanced over and saw that most of the people coming in and out were cars piled as high as possible and porters carrying big bags.
Of course, there are people like them who are empty-handed. However, such people are very few.
"Let's go in." Ning Wei turned to Jiang Xingyu and said.
Jiang Xingyu nodded, "Let's go."
Jiang Xingyu looked around and said, "They are carrying such a big bag. Isn't it heavy? I think that person's waist is almost bent to the ground."
Xu Yan took over and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Those who carry goods can earn more money by carrying more goods. Their wages are paid daily. Many people work alone and have to support a family."
Jiang Xingyu looked sympathetically at the person carrying the big bag and said to Ning Wei, "It's not easy."
Ning Wei nodded, "It's not easy. He has the goods to carry, so he is lucky. Compared with those who can't find a living, he just has to work harder physically."
Hu Rui took over and said, "What the lady said is that they are much luckier than those people standing on the roadside with cloth ties and ropes waiting for death."
Only then did Jiang Xingyu realize that there were many people holding ropes waiting for work on the roadside.
Someone saw Jiang Xingyu looking over and took the initiative to greet him, "Master, do you want to hire someone to move the goods?"
Xu Yan hurriedly blocked the person and said, "We have already hired someone."
After hearing Xu Yan's words, the man's hopeful eyes suddenly dimmed. He bowed to Jiang Xingyu and others, and then stepped aside.
Seeing this, Jiang Xingyu felt sad. After taking a few steps forward, he turned his head and asked, "Ah Wei, have we found the people to move the goods?"
Ning Wei turned to look at Jiang Xingyu and asked, "Does Xingyu want that person to move the goods?"
Jiang Xingyu said: "He looks a little pitiful."
Ning Wei looked back at the person just now, and saw that he was stepping forward to ask a young man in blue. Perhaps he was rejected by the other party, so he bowed to thank him again, and then stepped aside.
Ning Wei said to Xu Yan: "Uncle Xu, go call that man and hand it over to Uncle Wei."
Xu Yan bowed and said, "Okay, I'll do it now, little one."
The group continued walking inside, and Chang Le saw Wei Yuan first, "Miss, Mr. Wei is over there."
Ning Wei looked over and saw Wei Yuan talking to Wan Ping.
When Ning Wei and others approached, Wei Yuan noticed and hurriedly came over to greet them, "Miss, Miss Jiang. You are here!"
Ning Wei nodded and asked: "How is it? Have the ships arrived?"
Wei Yuan was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "We are all here. The six ships arrived at the shore at about the same time. They have already started unloading their cargo and they will probably be finished by the end of the day."
Jiang Xingyu stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look at the riverside, "Which are our boats?"
Wei Yuan raised his finger and pointed, "These are all ships. Miss, I've taken a look below. They all have good food. Do you two ladies want to go on board and have a look?"
Ning Wei shook her head, "We won't go up so as not to hinder their work. Shall we transfer to Xingyuan after unloading the goods?"
Wei Yuan replied: "While unloading and transferring, I will keep an eye on the unloading over here, while Qingshan leads people to transfer the goods. In this way, after unloading here, the transfer will almost be completed."
When Jiang Xingyu heard that Qingshan was there, he looked at Wei Yuan and asked, "Qingshan is helping us transport goods? Then brother Le will come too?"
Wei Yuan didn't know who Brother Le was in Jiang Xingyu's words, so he looked at Ning Wei in confusion.
Ning Wei said: "Xingyu asked you, is Prince Shi also here?"
Wei Yuan shook his head and replied: "Qingshan said that Prince Shi has something to do today and cannot come over."
Ning Wei nodded, "Uncle Wei, you're busy, let's just take a look and go to Xingyuan."
The pier was full of people working and was not suitable for leisure activities. Wei Yuan did not stay much, "It's okay, it's a mess here and there's not even a place to sit. The two ladies will go to Xingyuan first."
Ning Wei turned around and saw Xu Yan leading others standing by, waiting for them to finish speaking.
Ning Wei turned to Wei Yuan and said, "Give this man some work to do."
Wei Yuan looked at the man next to Xu Yan and became convinced. He turned to Wan Ping and said, "Take him down."
The man bowed to Jiang Xingyu and Ning Wei to thank him, and then followed Wanping to the boat.
Ning Wei and Jiang Xingyu were led by Xu Yan from the dock to Xingyuan on Sanjing Road.
Qingshan was directing everyone in the courtyard. When he saw Jiang Xingyu and Ning Wei coming, he put down what he was doing and came over. "Miss Cousin, Miss Ning, please come inside."
Jiang Xingyu said: "You are busy with your business, don't worry about us. We will go about our own business."
Qingshan lowered his hand and said: "Those two ladies are just strolling around. You have to keep an eye on them as they put the sacks away. Otherwise, these people are just trying to be quick and the sacks will be thrown in a mess. It will be very troublesome to go back and rework."
Jiang Xingyu waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, you don't need to worry about us here."
