A Genius in a Second to Remember Love? Shuo → Net, providing you with wonderful novel reading.
There weren't many masters of the Liu residence. Other than Liu She, the Second Lady, Madam Hu, and the Second Langjun, there were only the two concubines and their sons and daughters, who rarely appeared in public.
The masters had gentle temperaments and would not deliberately make the work of the servants more difficult. In addition, the rules and regulations left by the late wife were clear, so as long as the servants of the Liu Mansion completed their tasks, they would have plenty of free time to rest.
Tong Sanniang was on her way to the embroidery workshop to buy a new batch of embroidery thread when she passed by a corner gate.
"What do you think happened in Cang Prefecture and Meng County?"
The new purchasing manager of the Liu residence and a few people dressed like commoners were whispering at the corner gate. Tong Sanniang happened to hear the entire conversation.
The manager was a little angry at first, but when he saw that it was Tong Sanniang, he couldn't help but put on a flattering smile.
He cupped his hands and bowed, "Aunt Tong."
Tong Sanniang was 21 years old and unmarried. According to Dongqing's laws, she had to pay an extra tax. Her brother and sister-in-law felt embarrassed and forcefully forced her to get married. She agreed and went to plead with Madam Hu, persuading her to set up her own household.
This was the first time in the entire Liu residence. She had Madam Hu's support, so the other managers didn't dare to offend her.
Tong Sanniang's expression was cold. "You mentioned Cang Prefecture and Meng County. What's going on?"
The merchants who were stared at by her felt pressured. They lowered their heads and whispered, "This, this …"
"Speak!"
The merchant broke out in a cold sweat and said quickly, "We are traveling merchants from Meng County in Cang Prefecture. Your mansion ordered a batch of goods from our master, but they were robbed by a group of refugees and bandits when they were delivered. We are here to ask for your grace to be more lenient on the deadline. We didn't mean to delay your time, but Meng County is in a mess now. Looting and burning are everywhere … "
They were just a group of ordinary merchants. How could they resist the robberies?
Even though the Liu Residence wasn't big, their food, clothing, and necessities were all exquisite. Every year, they needed to purchase a lot of goods, and they were generous. They were big customers, but the goods they sent were robbed before they could even leave Meng County. Now that they couldn't return the goods, they could only come to the Liu Residence to negotiate.
After hearing this, Tong Sanniang felt like she had lost her ability to speak.
If something had happened in another county, she wouldn't have lost her composure like this, but the problem was …
That was Meng County, Cang Prefecture!
"When did this happen?" Tong Sanniang asked coldly.
The commoners bowed their heads and answered honestly, but they didn't expect Tong Sanniang to sneer at them.
"Although Meng County in Cang Prefecture is within Cang Prefecture, it is not very far from Hejian County. It will only take half a month to travel between the two counties at top speed. Such a big thing happened in Meng County. Why hasn't Hejian County heard anything about it after so long? "
The merchants complained incessantly. They had a lot of bitterness in their hearts, but they had no place to vent it.
"Aunt Tong, this incident has been known for a long time. However, the Meng Army has gone too far. They don't allow refugees to enter and leave Meng County as they wish, and they also don't allow this news to spread. We wanted to transport the goods out, but we were stopped. After much difficulty, we managed to get the customs documents, but we were robbed by the mob …" As they spoke of the sad part, the men were in a sorry state.
The money that the Liu Residence earned from the goods they ordered every year was enough for them to live on for half a year. Now that the goods were robbed by the mob, they lost their goods and money, and they almost died on the way to Hejian County. Their days were like hell, and just thinking about it made them sad.
If the Liu Residence felt that they were wasting time and asked for compensation, then their losses would be even greater.
Tong Sanniang's face turned solemn, and her palms were sweaty. She seemed to remember something.
"This matter is of great importance, and we need Master's attention. How about this? Let the steward take you to wash up, and I will report this to Master. If you have anything to say, you can tell Master later. "
When Tong Sanniang told Liu She about the incident, he was burning incense and practicing calligraphy. He was surrounded by a tranquil atmosphere.
He put down the brush in his hand without changing his expression.
"If that's the case, let's ask those people to come here."
He was wondering why only a few people knew about such a big incident in Meng County. It turned out that the Meng Army had intentionally blocked the news.
The Meng Army?
Ha!
Liu She felt a flash of coldness in his heart, and a murderous look flashed across his calm eyes …
How could you have such a day?
Neigh!
The horse let out a long sigh, and the carriage slowed down until it stopped in front of the Liu Residence.
Jiang Pengji got out of the carriage and jumped off before the coachman could bring the bench.
She saw that there was an unfamiliar carriage parked in front of the door. She frowned and asked the gatekeeper.
"Is there a guest?"
The gatekeeper answered respectfully, "Second Langjun, it's the lady's maiden family."
"Mother's side?" Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows. "I wonder who it is."
Because Liu She had gone to Hu County to take up his post, the women in the family rarely went out. They rarely interacted with Liu She's family, not to mention the second lady's maiden family in Langye County. They would only interact with each other during festivals, but they rarely interacted with each other.
Wild beasts had a strong desire to possess their own territory. They would sense the presence of a stranger. Although Jiang Pengji had not reached that level yet, along the way, there were indeed some unfamiliar traces in the Liu Residence that should not have been there, which made her unhappy.
Before she entered the house, she could already hear the soft and sweet voice of a young girl coming from inside.
The young girl looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a pink dress. Her eyebrows were like the mountains in the distance, and her skin was like a peach blossom with a smile. Her cheeks carried a bit of baby fat, making her look even younger. Her eyes seemed to be filled with a clear spring, clear and bright. Her nose was tall and straight, and her cherry lips were red even though they weren't dotted, causing one to be unable to help but think of the blooming peach blossoms under the spring sun.
Tsk, another budding loli.
"Uncle, is this cousin Lanting?" the girl asked Liu She with a smile when she turned her head to see Jiang Pengji.
Jiang Pengji did not need to look at the streaming room to know that the bullet screen was full of screams and howls.
No matter which world it was, there was no shortage of good-looking people.
You Are Courting Death: "Oh, oh, oh, oh — so cute. She has a clear voice and a soft body. She's a pure, natural loli!"
Laosiji Lianmeng: "I've realized that, so far, the overall appearance of the host's world is really good. There are almost no crooked people. At the very least, they have good facial features … Stop crying. It's a paradise for those who are obsessed with looks."
Jiang Pengji glanced at the girl coldly.
Host V: "What's so cute about a stick?"
Everyone in the streaming room was dumbfounded.
