All Heavens and Worlds Modified History System

Chapter 112 I'm just Mr. Chen next door. I don't owe you anything.

"Jia Wangshi is an expert in domestic fighting and good at disguise. She used the power of the Jia family to help her mother's family. Her long-term plan finally came true, and she supported Jia Baoyu to obtain the Rongguo Mansion."

'Note: You can modify one of the words.'

Jia Wangshi is Mrs. Wang, the biological mother of Jia Baoyu.

The most typical woman of this era, who is good at domestic fighting but is like a blind woman to outsiders.

She fought with Lady Jia for control of the rear house. Although she won in the end, the outside world had changed drastically. With the destruction of the Jia family, she became rootless.

“How do we change this?”

Looking at the subtitles in front of him, Chen Ran seemed to be thinking about something.

The word "niang" in "moving the power of the Jia family to help her mother's family" was deleted and changed to "to help the Chen family".

"Mr. No. 1 Scholar." Mrs. Wang, smiling, pulled Jia Baoyu, who looked very reluctant, forward and said, "This is my son Baoyu. I hope Mr. No. 1 Scholar will supervise and teach him and help him become a talent."

Chen Ran looked at Jia Baoyu, whose skin was as white as a woman, earnestly. After waiting for a while but seeing no subtitles, he simply asked, "Are you willing to study with me?"

The young Jia Baoyu was in his rebellious period. Apart from being afraid of Jia Zheng, he was like a devil who was fearless.

He is very resistant to learning and has already driven away several teachers.

He also looked down on people like the top scholar.

But Jia Zheng could only bow with a look of grievance and say "Yes."

Chen Ran smiled faintly and asked again, "What is your favorite thing to do?"

Jia Baoyu blurted out "Playing with my sisters~~~"

Mrs. Wang's face turned pale and Jia Zheng became furious.

And in front of Chen Ran, the subtitles floated past again.

'Jia Baoyu, the devil of the world, was born into a wealthy family and was spoiled beyond measure. He was a coward and did not dare to take responsibility, but he had a good appearance.'

'Note: You can modify one of the words.'

"Sure enough." Chen Ran smiled happily.

"To play with the sisters, you have to rely on the pampering of your elders and a good appearance? Without these, what are you? It's a pity that you can only change one."

After some consideration, he raised his hand and changed the word "good" in "good appearance" to "ugly"!
"You rebellious son!" Jia Zheng was so angry that he blew his beard. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You don't need to be angry, Mr. Zheng." Chen Ran persuaded with a smile, "It's normal for children to like to play. Just correct it."

"Oh~~~"

Jia Zheng sighed repeatedly, and then bowed to Chen Ran, "Thank you, Zihou. Please discipline him strictly and teach him to become a talent."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zheng. I will definitely teach you with all my heart."

Jia Zheng felt that Chen Ran was a good man, talented, of outstanding character, and his savior.

It's a rare opportunity to sit together and drink, and we can't help but get excited and keep urging others to drink, and chat and discuss the words of saints and so on.

Chen Ran was impatient with this, so he simply poured him wine until he was drunk.

After the banquet, Chen Ran said goodbye and left.

Jia Zheng was drunk and no one came out to see him off.

It’s not that I don’t want to send it off, but others are not qualified to send it off.

Grandmother Jia would not come out, and Jia She spent his days in debauchery and carousing, not caring about these things at all.

Arriving at the front yard, Chen Ran was about to go out when he saw a graceful figure walking out from behind the screen wall at the corner.

"The Number One Scholar!"

The person who came was Wang Xifeng. She stepped forward with red eyes and gnashing teeth, "What a good trick! You cheated me of my money and kidnapped my most useful person!"

"Did Madam misunderstand something?"

Chen Ran responded with a puzzled look on his face, "We have agreed on a deal, and everything has been done. The banknotes have been paid, but how come it has become a means for Madam? If this is the case, who will do business with you in the future?"

"Fuck the banknotes!"

Wang Xifeng, with red eyes, was so angry that she wanted to scratch Chen Ran's face. "I haven't even seen a single ounce of silver! For this matter, I have already invested several thousand ounces, but in the end, I got nothing~~~My life is so miserable~~~"

There is no doubt that she used the trick of crying, making a fuss and threatening to commit suicide.

Unfortunately, Chen Ran didn't feel anything about this.

"Madam, please accept my condolences." Chen Ran was not moved at all, and even advised enthusiastically, "There is no overnight hatred between husband and wife. Go find Brother Jia and have a good talk with him. I'm sure he will return the money to you."

"fart!"

Wang Xifeng, who is illiterate and uneducated, cursed when she got angry. "That heartless person took the money and ran away. He didn't come to our house for days. He wanted to return the money, but he couldn't even be found!"

"I don't care." She started to make trouble. "You have to accompany me with the silver, or return Ping'er to me!"

When dealing with someone who is unreasonable, don't argue with her because it's useless.

Chen Ran is not someone who can be threatened.

He calmly straightened his sleeves and said, "If that's the case, then I will go find Lord Zheng and tell him about this matter, and ask him to make the decision. If Lord Zheng says to give the money back, I will do it without saying anything. Madam, what do you think?"

Wang Xifeng's shouting suddenly stopped.

What do you think? I think it's not good.

Can the matter of smuggled salt be discussed openly?

Not to mention, if this matter is investigated, it will be traced back to how I got the smuggled salt, that is to say, my interest-seeking behavior will also be exposed. If these things are really known to everyone, I will be lucky if I can spend the rest of my life chanting sutras in a secluded courtyard with green lamps and ancient Buddhas!

"You~~~" Wang Xifeng was furious and pointed her finger at Chen Ran, but she didn't know what to say.

Pressing down Wang Xifeng's hand, Chen Ran kindly advised, "Madam, please don't be like this. There is no end to the money in this world. Even if Brother Jia cheated you in this business, just take it as a lesson. Don't bring him along when you have business in the future. How about this, if there is a good business in the future, I will take it with you, Madam?"

As for Wang Xifeng, she didn't believe what Chen Ran said.

She believed that all men were big liars. Jia Lian and Chen Ran had teamed up this time to trick her so badly. If she still believed them, she would be a brainless fool.

But a few months later, a business called "lottery" suddenly emerged in and around the capital.

She asked someone to inquire about it, and heard that one could buy a lottery ticket for ten cents, and fill in the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

The imperial court held a prize draw every month, picking a set of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches by drawing lots.

Whoever's lottery ticket matches will get a silver reward.

"It is said that the first prize is worth several thousand taels of silver. Now the tickets are sold out inside and outside the city. There are so many people surrounding the sales point to buy lottery tickets that they don't leave until dark."

"Think about it, ten cents isn't a lot of money, but if you win the first prize, it's a return hundreds of thousands of times. If you win once, you'll have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

"It doesn't matter if you don't win the jackpot, there are still many prizes. Even if you win the lowest prize, you can still make back your money and earn some more. This is much better than a gambling house~~~"

"Which genius came up with such a great idea? He has a really good brain."

"I heard that it was the No. 1 scholar who came up with it, and now the King of Qi is in charge."

"It's no wonder you're the top scholar. You're really capable~~~"

When Wang Xifeng heard the news, her first thought was, "He really didn't lie to me?!"

Hearing that any single sales point could sell tickets worth hundreds of taels of silver in a day, Wang Xifeng could no longer sit still.

She took a carriage and hurried to Chen Ran's house in the name of visiting Ping'er.

When she saw Ping'er again, she hurried forward and hugged Ping'er, "Good Ping'er, you have been wronged."

Ping Er was also moved to tears, "Grandma~~~"

"Look at you." Wang Xifeng looked at Ping'er's rosy face and joked, "The champion loves you so much, I guess you have been taking good care of me these days~~~"

"Grandma!" Ping'er's face flushed with anxiety. "That's not true!"

She also thought that Chen Ran went to great lengths to get her home because he was attracted to her body.

But in reality, after coming here, I just became a maid and housekeeper.

Not to mention the comfort of taking in a new room, there is not even the usual flirting.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Where is the champion?"

Ping Er looked a little strange, and took out a silk handkerchief and handed it to Wang Xifeng, "Madam, cover your mouth and nose first."

Looking at the silk handkerchief in her hand, Wang Xifeng's expression became even more strange. "What does this mean?"

"Grandma will know soon."

All the way to a side room in the backyard, Wang Xifeng sniffed her nose and said, "It stinks~~~"

There are many bottles and jars in this room, most of which contain turbid liquids.

There was a strange stench in the air, the kind that was unbearable.

"My wife is here." Chen Ran, who was busy fiddling with things, stood up and greeted her, "It's not convenient here, let's go out and talk."

Ping'er watched Wang Xifeng follow Chen Ran out the door without any reaction, and was shocked. "Second Madam, he, he called you Madam~~~"

"I heard that Du won the lottery. Was it your idea?"

Wang Xifeng, who lost several thousand taels in the private salt business and had previously earned money through hard work, now desperately wants to make money. "How about letting me take part in it?"

"This is a business between the court and the royal family." Chen Ran blocked it with one sentence. "As long as the emperor nods, let alone one share, I will give you all of it."

Wang Xifeng laughed out of anger.

If the emperor could listen to whatever she said, why would he waste his time talking to you?
"Then give me some sales points." She still didn't give up. "I don't want much, just give me all the sales points in Chang'an County."

Chen Ran was also amused.

"The person in charge of this matter is the Third Prince. As long as you can convince the Third Prince, you can be the agent of all the sales outlets in the world."

"You!" Wang Xifeng slammed the table and stood up. "This is your idea. Your words will definitely work!"

"That's right." Chen Ran didn't shirk his responsibility and readily agreed. "But why should I help you make money?"

"you owe me!"

"It's your husband, Brother Jia, who owes you. I'm just Old Chen next door. I don't owe you anything."

"What's the big deal?" Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth and clutched her handkerchief. "At most, I can do it myself. I think the lottery is very simple."

"What a great idea." Chen Ran laughed and clapped his hands. "This thing really doesn't require much technical skills. Anyone in the world can make it."

"However, the emperor has already made arrangements in advance. Anyone who dares to use this thing privately will be treated as disrespectful!"

There is a way to make a fortune right in front of her, but she cannot take it. Wang Xifeng feels as uncomfortable as if she were scratched by a cat.

"Okay, stop thinking about things that don't exist."

Chen Ran asked Wang Xifeng to sit down. "I have a business here that can make you some money, but you have to work hard~~~"
