Nong Men Yi Xiang 090 Ji Dui Wu Jia Tian Tian Shu Ba
Wu Kai's face was unpredictable, he covered his swollen eye sockets, and a pair of eyes stared at An Yan and Su San like venomous tongues.
"Hmph, you think this is enough? Don't end up like Bai Qi in the end."
This remark was like a stone thrown into a lake, stirring up countless ripples.
The two brothers of the Bai family suddenly turned red-eyed, and if they hadn't restrained themselves, they would have rushed forward to fight with Wu Kai at this moment. As for Wang, he was furious and shouted: "Evil people will be punished, you won't have a good ending."
Upon hearing Mr. Wang's words, Wu Kai threw his head back and laughed loudly towards the sky.
"Evil people will get their retribution? Are you kidding me? Do I look like someone who's getting punished now? On the other hand, aren't you Bai family supposed to be good people? Now, isn't it that the old are dead and the young are crippled?"
An Yan suddenly felt that Su San's punch just now was really too cheap, this kind of person has already made a mortal enemy anyway, and doesn't care about adding another layer.
Just then, when Wu Kei was feeling pleased with himself, An Yan suddenly stepped forward and kicked him in the jaw. An Yan's kick was extremely skillful, seemingly without using much force, but it was accompanied by a crisp cracking sound as Wu Kei's jaw dislocated.
This is good, Wu Kai thought he couldn't say anything anymore.
Wu Kai raised his head, one eye was fine, the other eye was blackened by Su San, and with that dislocated jaw, he looked as ridiculous as possible. The key is, he couldn't say a word, he could only stare blankly.
Wu Wen, who was standing behind Wu Kai, saw the situation and knew that today's matter was over. Tang Jinxiu and his wife seemed to have eaten some kind of tonic, as they were fighting fiercely. If they didn't leave now, everyone would probably end up in trouble. So, Wu Wen quickly walked to Wu Kai's side and whispered: "Young master, a good man doesn't take advantage of the situation. Now, that man and Tang Jinxiu are not ordinary people, we can't get the better of them today. Let's leave for now. If you can't swallow this, then let's go back and plan carefully. Later, it will be easy to either put this whole family in jail or drive them out of Xin Zhu County."
After hearing Wu Wen's words, Wu Kai also knew that it could only be like this now. He glanced at An Yan and Su San with a hint of resentment, then took big strides to leave.
Wu Wen naturally followed closely behind, Wu Yong and Fang Jiao also exchanged a glance and hurriedly caught up.
"Wait."
Just as Wu Ke was about to walk out of the Bai family gate, An Yan's clear and cold voice slowly came over.
What else do you want? Do you want to kill us all?
Wu Kai listened and fiercely turned his head to glare at An Yan. He couldn't say anything now, he could only glare. But An Yan had already understood the meaning behind it.
An Yan heard Wu Kei's words and didn't get angry, but instead smiled slightly, her pearly white teeth almost dazzling Wu Kei's eyes. Her face was delicate, her smile as gentle as a spring breeze, and she said slowly: "I have a bad temper, if something like this happens again next time, it won't just be a small scuffle. At that time, leaving only one arm or one leg would be considered light."
After finishing speaking, An Yan's lips curved into a smile, smiling extremely serenely.
But Wu Kai shuddered at the sight, feeling that the softly smiling woman had evoked a deep-seated fear within him.
"Alright, take away all the dog legs you've brought."
He glanced lightly at the five little servants on the ground with unknown life or death, and then spoke to Wu Kai in a light tone.
Wu Kai's eyelid twitched and the corner of his mouth twitched. He glanced at Wu Wen and Wu Yong behind him, as well as Fang Jiao Jiao. In the end, he could only obediently nod and go to move the little servants who were lying on the ground. Wu Yong and Wu Wen saw that their young master had moved them, so they naturally went to move them too.
Fang Jiao Jiao, although a farmer's daughter, had been pampered since childhood and was unable to exert much physical strength. Those little servants, even if she tried to drag them, she couldn't budge them.
So she stood quietly on the side, not even daring to breathe. The scene at this time was too strange, and I knew that I shouldn't have come to watch the excitement today. As a result, I didn't get to see the excitement, but instead got myself into trouble, it's really a misfortune for eight lifetimes.
There are five people in total, Wu Kai moved one, and both Wu Wen and Wu Yong each moved two.
Get those few young men on the horse cart, three big men are also tired to the point of pale face, constantly sweating. In fact, all three people have never done heavy work before, suddenly doing these things, naturally each one is tired enough.
The courtyard finally returned to calmness. An Yan walked to the side of Madame Bai and Madame Wang, softly asking: "Mother and Aunt, are you both alright?"
Bai and Wang, both of whom didn't say a word, just smiled and shook their heads to indicate that everything was fine. An Yan looked at her mother and aunt like this, and the hatred in her heart for the Wu family increased even more.
"It's all right now, Mother and Auntie can go in and rest for a while."
Bai and Wang nodded, and the two of them supported each other as they entered the main room. An Yan walked over to Bai An's side, looking at the bloodstain on his mouth and the bruise, feeling a pang in her heart.
"Don't worry, cousin, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury, I'll be okay by tomorrow."
I also know it's a minor injury, but I still feel very uncomfortable. The person I've worked so hard to protect has been hurt again, and this pain is something that people who haven't experienced it can't understand.
"Well, then you apply some medicinal liquor yourself."
An Yan didn't insist, knowing that Bai Ansu had a somewhat stubborn personality from childhood.
Everyone returned to their rooms, An Yan also went back to his room, and Su San followed closely behind.
An Yan sat in front of the desk, his eyes calm as water, with a hint of explosive momentum.
"No matter what you want to do, I support you."
Su San looked at An Yan's quiet appearance and felt very uncomfortable in her heart, so she hurriedly said a few words on the side.
Having heard this, I felt a little better in my heart and couldn't help but ask: "If I were to go kill people and set fires, would you support me too?"
After hearing this, Su San furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before saying seriously: "I support you, as long as you're happy."
If there's any punishment later on, he can take it all by himself.
"You idiot."
The gloom in An Xun's heart dissipated a bit, regardless of whether Su San's words were genuine or just said to comfort her, she was very happy.
"Uh-huh, I'm going to Zhao's place tomorrow, let's go together."
"Uh-huh."
Su San immediately nodded solemnly, he just hoped to be with the little woman every moment. If they were together almost all the time, their feelings should get deeper and deeper. He hoped that one day he would become a habit for the little woman.
Tonight, the Bai family was destined to have a sleepless night, each and every one of them falling into a restless slumber.
The Wu family was no better off. After Wu Kai returned home, he took Wu Wen and Wu Kai into the study, smashed a lot of things, and lost his temper.
"What's going on now? I just can't swallow this no matter what."
Even after venting his anger, the bloodshot and ferocity in Wu Kai's eyes still lingered. That scene would be etched in his memory forever.
Wu Wen's face was also gloomy, he had been managing the Qingfeng Wine House for years and was a trusted aide to Wu Kai. For a long time, others had seen him as someone who only knew how to flatter, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? Now, he too couldn't swallow this insult. But unable to swallow it or not, for now, he could only endure it silently.
He said to Wu Kai, "Young master has to bear with it for the time being. Tang Jinxiu's medical skills seem to be good. The old master of Zhao Fu was cured by him, and he needs to see Tang Jinxiu once a month. Therefore, if we move that woman, both the Zhao family and the county magistrate will not end with our Wu family."
Wu Kai naturally knew this, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of doing anything to the Bai family at that time. He just wanted to go and warn them because of the tense atmosphere due to Wei Li's matter, and let them be more honest. But unexpectedly, those people from the Bai family were all hard bones, and they had already clashed after only a few words. Then, Tang Jinxiu came back. After she returned, the situation became even more one-sided.
"I know that Tang Jinxiu can't move for the time being, but what about the Bai family? Could it be that the Zhao Manor and the County Magistrate would still make things difficult for us just because of the insignificant Bai family?"
Wu Kai couldn't believe it, so the Bai family really can't move a single one of them?
"This is probably really not moving, if at this time provoked Tang Jinxiu to do something, disgusted Zhao Fu's old man's illness. At that time, this account will still have to be counted on our heads. I think this matter should be thought of from the root cause, otherwise it will always be restricted."
"Roots up?"
"Not bad, we'll go find a better doctor to replace Tang Jinxiu's position. Then, Tang Jinxiu will naturally lose his greatest reliance. In that case, it will still be up to Young Master to do as he pleases."
"It's easy to say, but where can you find a divine doctor? To know that the old master of the Zhao family has been ill for many years and has invited all the famous doctors. Moreover, Tang Jinxiu's method of treating diseases is unheard of."
Wu Wen furrowed his brow and continued, "Actually, I know of one person who can cure this illness. The doctor used to work in the imperial city, but recently he offended a noble in the palace and has been hiding out in the southern provinces. I heard this from a friend. So, young master, if you can find that doctor, then Tang Jinxiu will be no match for him. After all, she's just a woman, how can she compare to an imperial physician?"
After hearing Wu Wen's words, Wu Kai's eyes lit up and he applauded with joy. "Great! I'll leave this matter to you, Wu Wen. Hurry up and find them. No matter the cost, we must find them. Hmph, when the time comes, I will make that woman lose her reputation and then send their whole family to meet Bai Qi in the underworld, so they can have company in hell."
Wu Wen also heard it and smiled gloomily on one side.
Then Wu Kai and Wu Wen discussed keeping a low profile for the time being. They believed that as long as it wasn't too serious, the Zhao family and the county magistrate wouldn't make things difficult for him. After all, the Wu family had been in Hsinchu County for generations, with deep roots, and weren't easy to deal with. As long as they didn't touch Old Man Zhao's life or fundamental interests, they wouldn't dare to move against the Wu family. Wu Kai thought that as long as he could temporarily avoid this period of time, everything would be different once the imperial physician arrived. Little did he know, things often go wrong by a single move, and the entire situation can fall apart.
The next day, An Yantian got up before dawn.
She moved, and Su San also got up. He looked at the outside with a puzzled expression, still completely dark, and asked: "Do we need to go to Zhao's house so early?"
It's so early, the master of the Zhao family hasn't even gotten up yet.
"I'll get up and write something, it will come in handy later. It's still early, you can sleep a bit more."
An spoke softly to Su San, her smile warm and gentle, like a wife.
Su San shook his head and said, "No need, I'll get up and grind the ink for you."
As he spoke, Su San stood up.
An Yan looked at Su San's nimble movements, and the small sprout in her heart seemed to have grown a bit bigger. Her eyes shone with starlight as she gazed at Su San, and a hint of tenderness flowed subtly beneath the surface.
After the two of them finished washing up, An Yan sat down at the table, spread out the paper, and began writing with his brush. Su San stood beside him, rolled up his sleeves, and carefully ground ink for An Yan.
Watching Su San grinding ink, An Yan thought of the idiom "red sleeves adding fragrance". But now, what is Su San doing?
No need to mention, when Su San was grinding ink, his eyebrows and eyes were serious, with a warm and gentle aura of books, looking at him gave people a sense of reliability. An Wen felt inexplicably at ease and happy seeing Su San like this.
One grinding ink, one writing words, two silhouettes watching, so beautiful.
Time flies like this, and the years pass quietly.
An Yan was writing about various business strategies and ways to make money quickly. He wanted to quickly grasp the economic lifeline of the Wu family in a short period of time. The main sources of income for the Wu family were mainly three: a wine house, a clothing store, and a jewelry shop. Therefore, at this moment, An Yan was starting from these three aspects, rapidly enhancing the competitiveness of the Zhao family, making customers flow towards the Zhao residence, leaving the Wu family with no business to do.
This is a blatant attempt to extort the Wu and Zhao families, and the county magistrate can naturally see through it. However, under such circumstances, they will be more than happy to cooperate with her. After all, not making money when you can is foolish.
In a situation where they were being strangled, the Wu family would naturally resist, and the consequence of resistance was to die even faster. Would Zhao's family and the county magistrate give the Wu family a chance to turn over? So in the end, it would become Zhao's family and the county magistrate joining forces to deal with the Wu family.
They wrote down all they could think of for the time being and dawn broke. After breakfast, the two men bade farewell to their families and set off in an oxcart.
Su San sat in front of the carriage, his broad and thick back blocking the cold wind for An Yan.
Su San's appearance of driving a cattle cart, if the people of Su's family saw it, would surely be surprised to drop their eyeballs. Is this really the cold-faced Third Young Master of the Su family, the cold-faced war god on the battlefield? Why is he driving a cattle cart, and still looks like he's enjoying himself?
At this time, Su San was really enjoying himself, just because his beloved little woman was sitting behind him. Although he had never driven a cattle cart before, the principle was roughly the same, so Su San was also quite skilled at it.
They arrived at the Zhao residence and were welcomed into the main hall. The young servant who had brought them in asked them to wait for a moment, saying that Young Master would be there right away.
There was a maid who came over with tea water, secretly couldn't help but quietly size up Su San, marveling at his extremely strong cold aura.
Su San would have looked like a statue if he hadn't said anything and just sat there with a straight face, making people want to worship him.
After a while, Zhao Li came out with a fan in his hand.
Arriving at the hall, Zhao Li was stunned. It was his first time seeing Su San and he was shocked by the aura surrounding him, momentarily frozen in place.
This was Su San's deliberate intention. Once he got here, he fully opened up and made every effort to strangle all the threatening sprouts in the cradle.
An is used to being with Su San, so she's not sensitive to this kind of atmosphere.
Su San was very satisfied with the effect he brought, feeling that his arrival today was indeed correct. What about Zhao Fu's young master? One look and it's clear he's not a good person. With a sly and cunning appearance, he must be up to no good.
If Zhao Li heard this, he would definitely be depressed for a while. Although he didn't say handsome and elegant, but it's absolutely not to the extent of being sinister and cunning.
After a while, Zhao Li reacted and coughed hypocritically before saying to An Yan: "Why did Madam Su come today?"
Although he asked like this, he had already roughly guessed what it was about in his heart. Yesterday, the White family had such a thing happen, and naturally, it had long been passed into his ears and those of his aunt, the county magistrate's wife.
Upon hearing this, An Yan's eyes remained still and expressionless, but his voice was tinged with a hint of feigned sighing as he said: "Nothing much, I just thought of some business ideas last night, so I came to see Young Master today."
"Oh?"
Zhao Liyi's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it, the way to do business. He thought of the chrysanthemum cake last time and the gift-giving method, which almost made his Rich and Noble Wine House make a fortune overnight. Now, this woman actually said she wanted more methods, it seems that the Zhao family is preparing to rush to the top of Hsinchu County's first place.
"Firstly, at the clothing store, the young lady thought of some good styles, Young Master can take a look."
As he spoke, An Yan pulled out a roll of paper from his sleeve and took out a few sheets from the bottom.
"Please take a look, young master."
When he heard that it was some styles of clothes, Zhao Li felt a little disappointed. When he took the drawings from An Yan's hand, his expression was also lacking in enthusiasm. If it were some business methods, Zhao Li would be very interested. But if it were styles, then Zhao Li wouldn't dare to flatter. In the past, when she was still the young mistress of the Tang family, her vision had been somewhat discerning. Now that she had become a discarded daughter for some time, her vision naturally needed to be improved. According to his thinking, all the styles drawn out were just ordinary ones suitable for peasant women.
The Jin Yi Fang under Zhao's family is a high-end route, selling clothes for the rich, not something that anyone can afford.
Because of this idea, Zhao Li's gaze at those papers was always light. However, in the blink of an eye, Zhao Li's gaze changed. Originally just sitting casually, but because of this glance, Zhao Li hurriedly straightened his body and seriously looked at the drawings in his hand.
He flipped through them one by one, and although there were only five of them, each one was able to bring him a stunning feeling.
Either simple and elegant, or exquisite and beautiful, or gorgeous and luxurious. In short, each one makes people's eyes stick to it, such a style, once on the market, will definitely be snapped up.
"Mrs. Su, what's this?"
"These five designs, young master needs to sell them as ready-made clothes according to my opinion."
Zhao Li raised an eyebrow unexpectedly, although he was unhappy in his heart, but since these drawings were from An Yan's hand, he didn't say anything after all.
"There are five seals in total here, three of which were mass-produced. The other two were given by a young woman to the young master as gifts."
"That's great."
Zhao Li's gaze softened, and the unpleasant feeling in his heart also disappeared. He had originally thought that the little woman in front of him might propose some excessive conditions, but he didn't expect it to be such a condition. This condition was simply lossless for him. With mass production, it would bring a lot of wealth. And the other two pieces, which were controlled by him, could limit the market and thoroughly establish the reputation of Jin Yi Fang. At that time, the Wu and Wei families would be nothing.
"The little woman thought that mass-producing the designs on one, three and five of the drawings would be most suitable, while the remaining two styles would serve as a signboard for the clothing store, only sold to people with sufficient status and wealth."
Zhao Li had some ideas in his mind, and now after listening to An Yan's words, he hurriedly looked at the drawings on his hand. Indeed, the remaining two and four styles were more exquisite and delicate, with unparalleled beauty. If it was done according to An Yan's method, it would be extremely good.
"Mrs. Su, it's really a pity that you're a woman."
Zhao Li couldn't help but feel this way at the moment. A person like him, if he were a man, would be his greatest rival in business after all.
If An Yan knew what was on Zhao Li's mind, she would definitely sneer at him. If she really delved into business, with her modern and innovative ideas, she wouldn't even consider someone like Zhao Li. It was simply too uninteresting and lacking in challenge for her; in An Yan's eyes, Zhao Li was just a slightly clever rich kid.
"There's nothing worth regretting, it's all arranged by heaven, no one can defy it."
She lowered her voice and composed herself, with a resigned expression, a typical ancient woman.
Sitting on one side, Su San raised an eyebrow. Can a little woman be so obedient? She actually looked resigned to her fate, which was truly abnormal. If the little woman was really the kind of person who easily accepted her fate, then he wouldn't still be struggling on the path of chasing his wife. Maybe, he had already become a father...
This wonderful idea, Su San only dared to think about it in his heart. At least, for him to have children and raise them, he didn't have the guts to say such a thing to An Wen now. The little woman may seem gentle and obedient usually, but when she gets angry, she's not easy to deal with either.
An Yan sat there, suddenly feeling a gaze sweep towards himself. He immediately looked up and saw Su San with a puzzled and frightened expression. Looking at such a Su San, An Yan found it very cute and couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile.
Bam!
Because of An Yan's smile, Su San dropped the teacup in his hand...
