Chapter 16 Make a fortune

Aunt Zhao cleaned up the kitchen and carried three bowls of steaming soup cakes. When she entered the room, she saw Lv Erniang holding Lv Xianger and hugging Lv Hong with tears quietly. She was very emotional. If it hadn't been for Lv Erniang's Dongling Mansion and saw that the notice, she would never have thought that the Lv family would have had such a tragic experience. Especially the young and lovely Lu Xianger.

"Well, Er Niang, this is a happy thing anyway. Don't let the two children recall those sad things." Aunt Zhao put down the soup cake with a smile on her face and said softly, "It's getting late. I think the two children and you should be hungry. Eat it quickly. I have to go back and cook for them, and I'll come back later.

"Mister Zhao, you have been tired for a day, and I have to bother you to cook for us. It's really..." When Lv Erniang saw that Aunt Zhao was leaving, she quickly got up but didn't know how to thank her.

Aunt Zhao walked out and waved her hand and said, "Er Niang, your words are too outrage. If it weren't for you today, I don't know when I could go to Jiangling Mansion to have a look. All right, let's have dinner with Hong Ge'er and Xiang'er. You've been tired all day. Take a break earlier..."

Lv Erniang lost her temper because of the sudden news. When she came back all the way, she was lost her mind. When she got home and saw the two children, Lv Erniang was thinking about what to do in the future. When Aunt Zhao walked into the room with soup cakes, Lv Erniang realized that she still preferred this kind of peaceful life. Therefore, Lv Erniang, who sent Aunt Zhao out of the door and appeared in front of Lv Hong and Lv Xianger again, became Lv Erniang in Qinghe Village.

Looking at Lv Hong and Lv Xianger looking at themselves eagerly, Lv Erniang immediately smiled: "eat--"

Lv Erniang smiled, and Lv Hong also smiled, but Lv Xianger's heart was more relaxed. Eating the soup cake that was no longer too hot, Lv Xianger's mind turned to Chen Wang. Just now, Lv Erniang knew that Lv Xianger remembered the past, so she told the news she heard in Jiangling Mansion under her questioning.

To put it simply, someone reported that King Chen and two other vassals privately stored grain to raise troops with the intention of rebel. His Majesty didn't believe it and sent someone to the south of the Yangtze River to check, but he was secretly murdered by King Chen. Fortunately, the official's bodyguard fled back to the capital and brought back the official's memorial. The content in the memorial confirms that King Chen did have this intention. However, because it was not well prepared, it did not appear on the surface, but the king of Chen and the other two vassals had to rebel. In anger, Zhao Changyuan, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, immediately ordered the general of the auxiliary country to go south to suppress the rebellion.

It is said that this general of Fuguo is a veteran of the Three Dynasties. He is good at fighting and has great experience. The king of Chen united the other two vassal kings, but there were only hundreds of thousands of troops. Therefore, no one in the Zhou Dynasty thought that King Chen could pass through that river.

"No matter how bad King Chen is, he should not last for a few years." Thinking of the rebellions in the prosperous times in history that Lv Xianger knew in her previous life, she did not seem to have succeeded in changing the dynasty. Moreover, listening to Lv Erniang's tone, the people of the Zhou Dynasty did not complain much about the current emperor, and the chance of King Chen's rebellion was very small. As long as King Chen is destroyed, the remaining three people of the Lv family will not be afraid at all.

The most important thing is that Lv Xianger is only five years old now. It is very time to rebuild the Piaoxiang Winery. In the past few years, as long as she has saved enough money, it will be easy to open a wine shop. At that time, the three of them will be able to live a better life.

Thinking about it, a smile appeared on Lv Xianger's little face again, and Lv Hong also smiled: "Xiang'er, what are you thinking? You have giggled several times today."

"Bad brother, make fun of Xiang'er again." Lv Xianger, who was full, spit out her tongue. When she saw Lv Erniang cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, she remembered that she had not asked Lv Erniang about her arrival in Jiangling Mansion. He hurriedly said, "Mom, how are our toys selling?"

Lv Erniang saw Lv Xianger's eyes, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said with a smile, "I thought you didn't care about your toy, little money fan."

"A Niang--" Seeing that Lv Er Niang also laughed at herself, Lv Xianger couldn't help running to Lv Er Niang and acting coquettishly. However, in Lv Xianger's heart, she vomited and vomited. If she didn't look like a child, Lv Xianger was really afraid that Lv Erniang would have any doubts about her.

Lv Erniang hugged Lv Xianger and kissed her fiercely before saying, "Wait, I'll show you, and you'll know." With that, Lv Erniang turned around and took the burden she brought back to Lv Xianger and Lv Hong.

Soon the bag was opened, and several pieces of cotton cloth appeared in front of Lv Hong and Lv Xianger. After coming to the Zhou Dynasty for so long, Lv Xianger also has a certain understanding of the prices here. Therefore, she doesn't have to touch it with her hands to know that these pieces of silk cloth are not cheap. Thinking that since Lv Erniang can buy such expensive cloth, she must have sold the toys and sold them for a lot of money.

Although Lv Hong did not know the value of these fabrics, he was a little confused. He remembered that when he helped Lu Erniang take the burden off his shoulder, the burden was very heavy. But these pieces of cloth can't be heavy no matter how heavy they are. Is there any secret in this cloth?

Sure enough, Lv Erniang's hand did not stop, but took out the cloth piece by piece, and finally a bulging cloth bag was exposed. Seeing the cloth bag, Lv Xianger and Lv Hong were a little excited. Because the cloth bag was pressed on the objects inside, the two brothers and sisters clearly saw that they were ingots one by one.

"Mother, what's in this cloth bag is the money for selling toys?" Lv Xianger couldn't wait to see how much money was in it, but Lv Er Niang suddenly stopped and said to Lv Xianger, "Xiang'er, you remember how to do those toys, so you open the cloth bag."

Lv Xianger immediately raised her head and saw Lv Erniang looking at her with a smile, and Lv Hong's expression was also encouraging and anxious. Seeing this, Lv Xianger nodded, untied the rope at the mouth of the cloth bag, and then lifted one end of the cloth bag up. Suddenly, all the things in the cloth bag fell on the cloth.

Under the faint oil lamp, the ingots on the cloth were full of dazzling silver light. Lv Xianger and Lv Hong opened their mouths in shock but did not make a sound in these silver light. Because on those fabrics, there are five big silver ingots lying down.

"Mother, does this have to be more silver?" Lv Hong really didn't believe it, so he reached out and touched it. Really feeling the coldness of the purchase, Lv Hong said in disbelief, "This one needs more than ten silver."

"What's more than ten silver? This silver ingot is twenty silver, a total of one hundred taels of silver." Lv Erniang grew up in a business family and has seen a lot of money. She can see how much money it is at a glance.

Looking back on the situation when she first got the hundred taels of silver, Lv Erniang was really embarrassed. Although she now lives in Qinghe Village, she has become a farmer. But she also saw Yinzi, but she lost her temper at that time. If it hadn't been for Uncle Zhao's reminder, Lu Erniang would have cried on the spot.

At that time, Lv Erniang still felt that she might be ill. But at this time, when she saw Lv Xianger and Lv Hong, Lv Erniang understood. That was a kind of happy crying, because although Lv Xianger was young, she inherited the brain that the Lv family could make money. Lv Erniang felt happy that the Lv family still existed in this world.

Lv Xianger can guess that those toys are rare and should sell well. She didn't imagine that those toys would sell for a hundred taels. Looking at these five silver ingots, Lv Xianger was also stunned and couldn't help muttering to herself: "One hundred taels, one hundred taels..."

What Lv Xianger thought also turned over countless times in Lv Hong's heart. Picking up a silver ingot, Lv Hong shook his head and said in a complicated tone, "Those rotten wood will be worth a hundred taels."

"It's not one hundred taels, it's one hundred and fifty taels." Lv Erniang took a gentle breath and said briskly, "I bought a lot of cloth and gave half of the five silver to your Aunt Zhao's house..."

The night is very deep, and Qinghe Village is very quiet, but the three people of the Lv family are scattered with a quiet happiness. That night, Lv Erniang didn't know when she fell asleep. She just remembered talking to her children for a long time.
