Chapter 93 Feng Lazi is really spicy

"Finally home."

Returning to his home on Xinglong Street in Duzhong, Chen Ran felt a sense of homecoming.

He unlocked the door, and Xiangling followed him timidly, carrying her small bag.

"Go live upstairs and don't open the door no matter who knocks." Chen Ran said, put the luggage away, and went out on his own.

He first went to the homes of the head of the village and the head of the Jia family to report his return.

Then he went to the grain store and bought some food to take home.

There are many stalls set up by peddlers on both sides of the street, and farmers from outside the city selling meat and vegetables.

The detectives will not drive away these peddlers, but they will collect money from them.

I bought some vegetables and cut a few pounds of pork before returning home.

There were no such things as supermarkets back then. People bought grain at the grain store, sauces and other things at the grocery store, meat at the butcher stall, and vegetables and fruits were all purchased by farmers outside the city who sent them into the city.

As for the wealthy families, they basically have their own farms, and the expenses are directly sent from the farms to their homes.

When she got home, Xiangling, who was cleaning diligently, hurried forward to take it, went to the kitchen and started cooking.

When she was very young, she did these jobs for the kidnapper.

After eating and drinking, everyone went to rest without saying anything.

The next morning, after Chen Ran finished washing up, he took Xiangling to the jewelry store on the street.

The shopkeeper looked very happy when he took out the transfer documents, the title deeds and the land deeds.

This is a jewelry store worth tens of thousands of coins, but it was given to a person who is dressed simply. Who can believe it?

While the shopkeeper invited the two to sit down and have tea, he secretly told the waiter to quietly go out.

You don't need to ask to know that he went to the government office.

"It was originally just a simple matter." Chen Ran, who was watching this scene, sighed and put down the tea bowl. "You have to find something to do. You don't look like a loyal person. Did you embezzle the money from the shop?"

The chubby shopkeeper immediately changed color, took a small step back and shouted loudly, "Men, take him down!"

Several guys, confident in their bravery, rushed forward in a swarm.

In just a few breaths, all the shop workers were knocked to the ground.

His fighting skills are not that high, but he can still deal with a few young boys with no problem.

"You asked for this." Chen Ran didn't say anything to the shopkeeper. He left this sentence and pulled Xiang Ling away.

He knew very well what it meant that the King of Hell was aggressive and the little devils were difficult to deal with.

When the detectives come, it will be useless to talk, so just go find someone who can talk usefully.

“That’s what power does.”

On the way to Ningrong Street, Chen Ran chatted with Xiangling, "Without enough power to protect wealth, people from all walks of life are staring at you and want to eat your meat."

"And the same is true for a beauty like you."

"You are joking, sir." Xiangling lowered her head shyly. "I am not worthy of being called a beauty."

As the name suggests, Ningrong Street is dominated by Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion.

These two mansions occupied almost half of the street.

That’s not all. The back streets behind the mansions are also occupied by distant relatives and servants of the two mansions.

Apart from anything else, this kind of power really makes a great show.

"Ten years of hard study is no match for three generations of inheritance." Looking at the magnificent mansion in front of him, Chen Ran also said with a sigh, "The ancients were not deceiving me~~~"

When they arrived at the corner gate, the gatekeeper saw that the two men were dressed in ordinary clothes and were walking, so he naturally did not look happy.

Just as he was about to scold her, he saw Chen Ran step forward and pick up a silver ingot from the ground.

"Yo~~~" A smile immediately appeared on the doorman's face, and he skillfully put away the silver. "Who are you?"

"I am an aide to Magistrate Jia of Jinling."

Chen Ran took out Jia Yucun's name card and handed it over, "I've come to visit Master Zheng."

"Oh, what a coincidence! Master Zheng is out visiting friends." Menzi was well-informed and naturally recognized that the business card was genuine.

The Jinling prefect was not a minor official. He was said to be a close relative of the prefecture. More importantly, he had received money from him before, so he couldn't neglect him. "How about you two have some tea and wait?"

"Thank you."

The description of Rongguo Mansion in the original novel is mostly concentrated in the backyard.

In fact, the front yard of Rongguo Mansion is also very large.

When we arrived at the flower hall, servants served us tea.

Chen Ran's mentality is very stable.

What kind of energy do what kind of things.

In the Ming Dynasty, he is the Grand Commander, so naturally he can do anything without any scruples.

I have no power in the world of Dream of Red Mansions now, and I don't have the ability like Monkey King to sweep away thousands of troops like a whirlwind, so I have to take advantage of the situation when it is time.

If you want to get things done, you naturally need money, so you must take over that jewelry store no matter what.

After waiting for about half an incense stick of time, the sound of jingling jewelry came from outside the door.

The door was pushed open, and a group of wives and maids came in, escorting a beautiful woman.

This beauty wore a pearl bun on her head, a phoenix hairpin in her hair, a necklace around her neck, and a cloud satin dress with a rat coat and a green skirt.

She has curved willow-shaped eyebrows, a fair face like a blooming hibiscus, a graceful and charming figure, and a pair of phoenix eyes that make her look intimidating without even showing any anger.

"One vulgar and one powerful, Ping is a balance between people. The village woman's hazy eyes, can not see the pure soul. Ping Er is the peacemaker between Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, with her, the couple can maintain the appearance of husband and wife."

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

"Ping'er?" Looking at the subtitles floating in front of him, Chen Ran's eyes naturally fell on the woman next to the beauty.

She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, her face was like a silver plate, her hair was like clouds, and her brows were full of charm.

While I was thinking, a maid stepped forward and said, "You are meeting the Second Madam, why don't you pay your respects quickly?"

"Second Madam? It is indeed Wang Xifeng, and the one next to her is Ping'er."

'I met three of the twelve beauties but the subtitles didn't trigger, but the one of the secondary beauties did. It can be confirmed that the main storyline is the twelve beauties.'

Chen Ran was thinking about something and did not respond.

A hint of sternness flashed across Wang Xifeng's beautiful eyes, and she immediately asked, "But the Jia Mansion sent you?" "No wonder." Chen Ran suddenly realized, "You are here to ask Jia Yucun for help."

"My name is Chen Ran, and I am the chief aide of the Jia Mansion." He cupped his hands. "This time I came to visit Master Zheng in your mansion for a private matter."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Wang Xifeng's pretty face.

She simply sat down on the chair and said, "What's your private matter? Tell me about it."

With such a domineering attitude, she is worthy of being the housekeeper of a wealthy family.

Chen Ran didn't care that much.

He has no power or influence now and is just an aide to the prefect. It is natural that Wang Xifeng is unhappy with him.

When you are in a high position in the future and have the power of life and death, it will be the Second Grandma who will come to lick your boots.

"It's not a big deal." Chen Ran smiled. "When I was in Jinling, I had some friendship with the Xue family and helped the eldest son of the Xue family. The Xue family gave them a gift, which is a shop on Xinglong Street in the capital."

Xiangling, who was standing behind Chen Ran, stared at him in amazement as he spoke nonsense. She was full of disbelief. How could he really say such nonsense?
Not only was the eldest son of the Xue family punished, but you also exiled him thousands of miles away. Is this what you call helping?

There is no such thing as active gift giving.
Chen Ran predicted that, given the level of communication in that era, it would take several months for news about Jinling to reach the city.

Moreover, the Xue family was in such a disgrace this time that they probably wouldn’t want to talk about such a shameful thing.

In that case, just make it up.

After listening to Chen Ran's story, Wang Xifeng nodded and said, "So that's how it is. An evil servant bullies his master. This matter is nothing. I can help you."

After hearing this, Chen Ran was not happy at all. Instead, he looked alert.

But he knew very well that the woman in front of him was not a good person at all. If she was being so attentive to him for no reason, she was either a harlot or a thief, and she must have other intentions.

As expected, Wang Xifeng followed up with, "The mansion recently sent a batch of goods to Jinling, and I would like to ask Jia Futai to help look after them."

She had heard that someone from Jia Yucun had come to visit her at home, so she came here specially.

It doesn't take much thought to know that there must be something wrong with this batch of goods.

Although he looked down on Jia Yucun's character, he was his greatest help at the moment, and Chen Ran didn't want to cheat him.

Unfortunately, before Chen Ran could refuse, Wang Xifeng said quickly, "It's settled! Ping'er, take the invitation from the mansion and go and settle the matter."

After saying that, he simply stood up and walked out the door. "I'll trouble Jia Futai with the goods."

"It's Feng Lazi as expected. She has a really bad temper."

Chen Ran smiled and said, "Never mind. I have no power now, so you can be harsh on me. When I have power in my hands, I will be the one to give you a good beating!"

There is no need to waste time talking nonsense. Since Wang Xifeng helped to solve the problem of the shop, Chen Ran, who was indebted to her, must help persuade Jia Yucun to take care of the batch of goods.

This is an exchange of favors that doesn't need to be stated explicitly.

As for why Ping'er was arranged to go, it was naturally because Chen Ran had been staring at Ping'er before, and Wang Xifeng took the opportunity to offer a little beauty trap.

If we discuss whether Chen Ran can persuade Jia Yucun to help, the fact that he can come with Jia Yucun's business card is enough to prove his influence on Jia Yucun.

When it comes to business cards, seeing the card is like seeing the person. If the person is not trustworthy, I will never give it to him.

"Grandma~~~"

Ping'er, who knew the situation clearly, stamped her feet in anger.

But Wang Xifeng walked very fast, and she had already walked out of the door and disappeared.

Ping'er couldn't do anything even if she was angry.

Naturally, she also knew what Wang Xifeng knew.

Needless to say, my first impression of Chen Ran was immediately lowered.

Ping'er was sitting in a carriage, with the maids and servants of the mansion following on both sides of the carriage.

Chen Ran and Xiang Ling still walked on their own legs.

"When I get the shop, I'll buy you a carriage."

It didn't matter how he walked, but Xiangling's short legs almost made her jog.

The carriage slowly stopped, and Ping'er called out from inside the carriage, "Young lady, please get in."

Xiangling wanted to refuse, but Chen Ran smiled and said, "Go ahead."

After getting on the carriage, Ping'er, who was very thoughtful, naturally spoke all kinds of clichés.

Xiangling was no match for Ping'er and was completely trapped in the mystery.

Fortunately, she was not too stupid, and she refused to say what she really couldn't say.

Ping'er was also a little surprised.

She thought Xiangling was Chen Ran's concubine, but she never expected that she was her savior.

What made her even more unbelievable was that the man was not greedy for money or beauty, and he really just wanted to help out of kindness.

Ping'er's vision naturally enabled her to see that Xiangling was still unmarried.

He opened the screen window a little, looked at Chen Ran walking on the street not far away, and whispered to himself, "What a weird guy."

When we arrived at the jewelry shop, a group of yamen runners were already waiting there.

Ever since the Rongguo Mansion's foreign affairs steward stepped forward and spoke, the yamen runners turned around and left.

They can't afford to offend the Rongguo Mansion.

"and many more!"

Chen Ran shouted, stopping the yamen runners who were about to leave.

Ping Er in the carriage frowned, "You are pushing it too far. That's too much."

Unexpectedly, Chen Ran came forward and stuffed a heavy bag of silver over.

After a few words, the smiling yamen runners rushed over, put the shopkeeper in shackles, and took him to the yamen.

Ping'er looked stunned again.

"With such a good understanding of the ways of the world, no wonder he can be the prefect's advisor."

She had previously thought that Chen Ran wanted to rely on the power of the Jia family to bully those yamen runners.

After getting off the carriage and entering the shop, Ping'er had no time to look around before she heard Chen Ran say to Xiangling, "This shop is given to you as compensation by the Xue family. You must run it well in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ping'er could no longer control her expression. She looked over in shock and was speechless for a moment.
