After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Remember in a second【】

He Ye was out of breath: "My servant heard that the tens of thousands of acres of mulberry fields in our mansion have all gone wrong. The mulberry leaves are withered and there is no way to feed the silkworms!"

Nan Baoyi was startled.

Nanfu has been in the Shu brocade business for hundreds of years. She has been fascinated by it since she was a child, and she knows very well what a problem with a mulberry tree means.

"My servant also heard that the stock of fresh mulberry leaves in the warehouse can only last for five or six days, and it is too late to wait for the new leaves to grow. Now is the critical period for the spring silkworms to cocoon, which is too bad-hey, girl, go where!"

Nan Baoyi ran towards the Songhe Courtyard with her skirt in her hand.

Panting, she ran to the flower hall, held the door and looked in.

The atmosphere in the hall was gloomy.

Grandma flipped through the ledger with a serious face, and there were a few senior managers of the Zhuangzi standing at the bottom, all with sullen faces and faint tears in their eyes.

There are millions of spring silkworms. Silkworm farmers have worked so hard to feed them all spring. If they all die, not only the silkworm farmers will not have a harvest, but even the weavers will lose their jobs.

People will die!

Grandma closed the ledger, "If you buy mulberry leaves from other places..."

The management was very embarrassed, "On the day of the accident, the villain sent someone to the market to ask. But the price of mulberry leaves in Jinguan City rose sharply overnight, so buying at this time is not worth the loss. If you buy from other places, it may take time It's too late...not to mention, which one has so many mulberry leaves?"

While discussing, Nanny Ji hurried in and whispered in the old lady's ear.

The old lady frowned, "What is she doing here?"

After a pause, she said, "Forget it, please come in."

Not long after, Nan Baoyi saw Mrs. Xia coming slowly.

Mrs. Xia had a radiant face and sat down with a smile, "I heard that the old lady is in trouble, so I came here specially to see if there is anything I can do to help."

"Please worry about it." The old lady smiled and motioned for the maid to serve tea.

Nan Baoyi hid outside the door, his slender and charming red phoenix eyes revealed a dark glow of stars.

The Nan family and the Xia family are both great merchants of Shu brocade.

The Xia family also has tens of thousands of acres of mulberry fields and countless weaving workshops.

If anyone can control the price of mulberry leaves in the market, it can only be the Xia family.

Could it be that the Xia family was the one behind the Nan family's Sangtian accident this time?

That's right, the last time my grandmother rejected the Xia family's marriage, Mrs. Xia must have a grudge...

Nan Baoyi gritted his teeth and heard Mrs. Xia laughing:

"Now is the critical period for the spring silkworms to cocoon. It would be a pity if they starved to death. Our family can spare enough mulberry leaves to subsidize you. Seeing that we have known each other for many years, the price is easy to negotiate."

The old lady said calmly, "Tell me, what are the conditions."

"The old madam is so refreshing!" Madam Xia smiled from ear to ear, "We are fine, we have taken a fancy to Mr. Xiao from your mansion, and our family also sincerely wants to marry you. As long as the old madam agrees to this marriage, Nan The Xia family is willing to bear the lack of mulberry leaves in the mansion!"

Shameless!

Nan Baoyi cursed inwardly.

She hugged the fan and looked nervously at her grandmother.

Grandma put down the teacup, stroked the hem of her skirt benevolently, "I'm afraid, Mrs. Xia's trip will be in vain."

She is a businessman.

The value of Xiao Yi is far more valuable than a year's harvest of Shu brocade.

She would not do something stupid like picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelon.

Mrs. Xia's face was ugly, apparently she didn't expect to be rejected.

She frowned fiercely: "Old lady, you are old, don't be stupid!"

"If Mrs. Xia has nothing else to do, please go back. I don't need you to worry about our family's affairs."

Before Mrs. Xia's chair was warmed up, she was ordered to evict her.

She got up angrily, "I want to see how you can get through this without the help of our Xia family!"

After she left, the old lady gradually lost her smile.

She stroked the account book, and there seemed to be two fine lines on her old face.

Nan Baoyi felt distressed.

She knew that the second uncle and elder brother were out doing business, the second aunt went to Du'an County to check the accounts, and her father was useless, so the only person who could really manage things in the house was the grandmother.

Grandmother shouldn't be working so hard at her age.

She stepped over the threshold, "Grandmother..."

Seeing her, the old lady immediately smiled and waved: "When did Jiaojiao come here? Come quickly, give grandma a hug!"

Nan Baoyi leaned into her arms delicately, "What kind of incense is my grandmother smoking today, it smells really good!"

"Grandmother is already very old, and it's not you little girls, what kind of incense is there?"

"It must be because grandma has served in front of the Buddha for a long time, and it is because of the fragrance of Buddha! The Buddha is protecting grandma!"

The old man was coaxed by her into a smile.

She scratched the tip of Nan Baoyi's nose, "Little mouth is so sweet!"

Nan Baoyi took the opportunity to say: "Grandmother, are you worried about Sang Tian's matter?"

The old man's eyes darkened, and he forced a smile and said: "It's all about business, Jiaojiao'er doesn't have to worry. As long as you eat and drink well every day, grandma will be happier than anything else!"

"Grandmother, I am also a member of the mansion. Now that there is an accident in the mansion, I should help. You are old, and it is inconvenient to go to Zhuangzi. I would like to go to Zhuangzi on your behalf to see what the mulberry fields are. what happened."

"Are you going to Zhuangzi?"

The old man was surprised.

How could her Jiaojiaoer go to a place like Zhuangzi?

^0^ Remember in a second【】

Nan Baoyi nodded seriously, "Grandma, I'm not afraid of hardship."

"But--"

"Grandmother, you should let me go out to relax!" Nan Baoyi acted like a baby.

The old man couldn't resist her, so he had to agree to let her go to Zhuangzi with the steward tomorrow morning.

After the little girl left, Mother Ji thumped her on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Miss Wu is sensible, and she knows to help the house."

The old lady smiled.

She didn't expect Jiaojiaoer to be of any help, but the little girl's filial piety was invaluable, and she deserved it.

She raised her hand and rubbed her temples, and began to worry about the mulberry leaves again.

...

Nan Baoyi returned to Chaowenyuan and excitedly asked He Ye to pack her luggage.

The lotus leaf collapsed, "Miss, you are not a gardener. There is a problem with the mulberry tree. What's the use of running over? This is just adding to the trouble!"

Nan Baoyi was arrogant, "He Ye, how can you look down on me? I, your young lady, have won the first place in the Huachao event anyway. That's a smart person with great wisdom and stupidity!"

She really doesn't know how to take care of mulberry trees.

But that doesn't mean she can't.

He Ye couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd, so she had to obediently help her pack her luggage.

the second day.

The sky was slightly bright, and Nan Baoyi took a carriage to Qingcheng Mountain Villa.

The distance is long, and it takes half a day to drive.

When she dozed off, a carriage quietly appeared behind the official road.

Xiao Yi was sitting upright in the carriage, looking through the accounts.

He needs to go to Qingcheng Mountain to supervise the grain and check the accounts.

Shiku, who was driving, suddenly reminded: "My lord, isn't that the carriage in our mansion?"

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
