Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 7 Encountering bandits on the road and having difficulty escaping from trouble

After Shen Qingzhi left, Yan'er couldn't help but ask: "Miss! Are you crazy! You actually gave her the dowry! Moreover, she is too shameless, she can say such things, in this world,

There are few people so shameless like her!"

Shen Qinglan poured a glass of water for Yan'er and herself, and said, "It's really shameless."

"Then why did you agree and allocate Zhuangzi's shop to her? She deserves it too?"

"Sit down and have some tea."

Shen Qinglan pulled Yan'er to sit down and put the water glass in front of her. Seeing her reaction, Shen Qinglan couldn't help laughing. Sure enough, her acting skills were already perfect!

Yan'er just took a sip of water and almost choked when she saw Shen Qinglan's smile.

"Miss, you are still smiling!"

"I'm laughing at how stupid Shen Qingzhi is! It seems that I just performed well."

Yan'er was confused, "What do you mean? I didn't understand."

"Think about it, these gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin utensils are all real money! But that's not necessarily true for Zhuangzi's shops. We have so many properties and shops in our family, we can't all make a profit! Moreover, the ones my mother brought as a dowry are still profitable.

Many of those married by aunts have not been taken care of for a long time, and I wonder what they will become now."

After listening to Shen Qinglan's explanation, Yan'er suddenly realized!

"That's right! If you give these pavement properties to the second lady as a dowry, she might not be able to make much money, and she will have to incur debts and get involved in lawsuits! Haha! Miss, this is a great trick of yours!"

"In the past two days, I have sorted out all the properties that were poorly managed, had disputes and had local gangsters, and gave them all to Shen Qingzhi as a dowry. After sorting them out, I will go to the government to transfer the ownership and register it before she gets married. Then I will let her think about it.

I can’t rely on you.”

-

A few days before Shen Qingzhi got married, Shen Qinglan got up early every day to prevent her from pestering him, and was also afraid that she would discover the problems in the shops in advance. She would get up early every day and pretend to go to the temple to burn incense.

In the carriage, Shen Qinglan kept yawning and muttering "so sleepy".

Yan'er consoled her: "Miss, if you bear with me for two more days, we will go to Yousi Yamen to transfer the ownership of those shops to the second lady. Then we won't have to pretend to run away."

"Um."

Early in the morning, the carriage just entered the mountain road and stopped soon after.

A group of people who looked like bandits stopped the carriage, led by a burly, sinister-looking black-faced man.

"Everyone in the car, get out!"

Shen Qinglan and Yan'er both panicked, and Yan'er grabbed Shen Qinglan's hand.

"It seems to be a bandit. Miss, please change your clothes with me quickly, I'm afraid it's someone with bad intentions."

Shen Qinglan took a breath and said, "It's useless. I didn't expect revenge to come so quickly."

"Retaliation? Do you think these people are sent by the Meng family?"

Yan'er was extremely scared. There were thieves and bandits in front and behind, and there were deep mountains on both sides of the road. There was no way to escape.

"What do you think? The road we are taking is an official road. There have never been bandits on our official road in Luoping for many years, so businessmen come and go and it is prosperous."

In fact, Shen Qinglan was also very afraid, but the other party was just doing it for money, and falling into the hands of these thieves would ultimately bring bad reputation to her daughter's family, so Shen Qinglan could only make a deal with them.

"Also...Miss, then..."

"Get off the car, you can't hide."

"ah?"

Yan'er helped Shen Qinglan get out of the car. Now her body was still a little weak and could not withstand too much hardship.

"Hero, what's blocking the road?"

Shen Qinglan weakly raised her head and looked at the dark-faced man. The dark-faced man was also startled. This little girl was as beautiful as someone who stepped out of a New Year picture.

"Our head wants to ask the young lady to be our wife!"

After the thin man next to the dark-faced man finished speaking, everyone started laughing and making noise.

Hearing this, the dark-faced man actually looked a little shy and avoided looking at Shen Qinglan in a daze.

Yan'er held Shen Qinglan's hand tightly. She was about to say something but was pulled back by Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan bowed slightly to everyone. Seeing this scene, the noisy people became quiet.

"The head of the house is domineering and mighty. What kind of beauty do you want? I am afraid that a yellow-haired girl like me is not worthy of you. Besides, my daughter is already engaged."

"Who are you fooling! Everyone in Luoping knows that you just broke off the engagement!" said the little thin man.

After the little skinny man said this, the dark-faced man turned his head and glared at him. The little skinny man immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. Shen Qinglan smiled slightly, and it seemed that he had guessed it right.

"If that's the case, then I guess the heroes are entrusted by others?"

The black-faced man did not say anything. He saw Shen Qinglan salute again and said: "Although I am young and have not been involved in the world, I still know how to be loyal and do not want to embarrass you heroes. I am willing to give you five hundred taels of gold.

It’s also good for the heroes to give an explanation.”

"Five hundred taels of gold! The Shen family is indeed rich..."

"I have never seen so much gold in my life, brother, what do you think?"

The thieves were talking a lot, and the black-faced man looked embarrassed and said nothing. If he just let it go, it would be hard to explain to the other side.

"Are you not experienced in the world? You just lied to us about your engagement. Who knows whether what you are saying now is true or not!" said the little thin man.

"That's right, you just want to get rid of us just by making a verbal promise. I'm afraid it's not that simple." The black-faced man finally spoke.

"My little girl didn't lie just now. Although my engagement with Prefect Meng's family has been terminated, I have decided to marry Nanyang Hou's only son at the discretion of the elders in the family."

As soon as Shen Qinglan said these words, Yan'er was stunned on the spot. The only son of Nanyang Marquis? The young Marquis?

However, she immediately realized that since the Meng family had hired these people to rob the country, they would have to find someone with a higher official position than Prefect Meng to frighten these people. The Marquis of Nanyang was the largest official in Luoping.

"Nanyang Hou? Do you think I will believe it? How could Nanyang Hou let his only son marry a merchant girl?" The black-faced man did not believe what Shen Qinglan said at all.

"My concubine can marry into the prefect's mansion, so why can't I marry the young marquis? It's true that our Shen family is a businessman, but we are also rich as a country."

As soon as Shen Qinglan said this, everyone suddenly felt that it made sense.

These days, which official doesn't want to climb up? If you want to climb up, you need money. Moreover, Nanyang Marquis has been a meritorious service for generations, and he doesn't care whether the person he marries will affect his family status. What she said is true.

Credibility.

"Furthermore, my grandmother was born in a general family. Although she has declined, she still has some friendship with the Xungui family. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to the Nanyang Marquis Mansion to investigate."

At first, everyone was a little skeptical, but Shen Qinglan said this to dispel their doubts.

The Marquis of Nanyang is not something they can offend, nor can Prefect Meng offend him.

After saying that, Shen Qinglan winked at Yan'er, who immediately took out the golden ticket and handed it to the person next to her respectfully.

Fortunately, she pretended to have a lot of money when she went out, and the five hundred taels of gold tickets were the New Year's money given by her grandmother years ago.

Shen Qinglan couldn't help but secretly sigh, it's great to have money!
