Scheme of the Official Descendant

When the Shunzhou incident happened at the beginning, Han Yunqian reminded his grandfather, Mrs. Han, but Mrs. Han didn't take it too seriously at that time. In the past few years, the Han family's reputation in Yanbei has been good, and they haven't made any other enemies. In addition, they are gaining momentum now, and they are getting married with the Yun family soon. This kind of thing is also done to the Lei family by the Han family.

After the Northwest Salt Well had a problem, although Han Yunqian had doubts in his heart, he did not mention it to his grandfather for some reason.

But then, the Han family had several business failures.

The Yun family was originally married to the Han family, so they intended to use the Han family's status as a merchant to cooperate with each other to achieve a win-win situation. However, the head of the Yun family is also an extremely cautious person. Problems happened one after another on the Han family's side, and the Yun family also suffered some losses.

It is obvious that someone is targeting the Han family in the dark, but now the Han family and the Yun family are tied on the same boat. As the saying goes, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face. There are not many families in Yanbei who dare to directly confront the Yun family. Well, even Lei Ting, who is the head of the Lei family, has to give Mr. Yun a bit of a slap in the face, and won't be so ruthless to pit the Yun family and the Han family together. In terms of the current power of the Lei family, even if Lei Ting has such ambitions, he can't. I don't have this ability yet.

Then the person behind this...

Even the well-informed old master Yun broke out in a cold sweat the more he thought about it.

Yun Wenting, the young master of the Yun family, also noticed the unusualness of this matter early in the morning, and he advocated to wait and see what happens. In the end, after careful consideration, Mr. Yun postponed the cooperation with the Han family.

If it is an ordinary family. Maybe it's better to break off the engagement in a surprise and get rid of the other party. Fortunately, the Yun family is not an ordinary family. Yun Wenting, the young master of the Yun family, and Han Yunqian are still close friends, and the Yun family has no intention of breaking up with the Han family, they just don't want to talk about cooperation.

However, the rapid development of the Han family slowed down because of the cautiousness of the Yun family.

After the old man Han came back to his senses, he kept looking for the reason, wanting to know who was secretly targeting the Han family, but found nothing. From time to time, the person behind him would find an opportunity to challenge the Han family. Let the Han family suffer a small loss, and even those who have business dealings with the Han family are also unlucky. But the people behind it don't know why they don't kill them. Obviously sometimes they can be more ruthless, like playing the Han family like a monkey, but the more they do this, the more scruples they make.

Old Mrs. Han didn't realize at this time that the way the hand behind him played with him was exactly the same as when he played with the Ren family back then. It's just that Feng Shui is not as ruthless as him now.

In this way, until one day, the Jiang family, another in-law of the Han family, came. It was Jiang Xiniang, the sixth miss of the Jiang family. Jiang Xiniang's father, Jiang Yan, became the head of the Jiang family during the last Jiang family infighting. He is also a man of means, so he quickly secured the position of the head of the family.

Miss Jiang Liu came to live in her aunt's house this time, that is, Han's house. Her aunt, Jiang, married the elder of the Han family as her successor.

Regarding Miss Jiang Liu's arrival, Jiang Shi was also a little surprised. Although Jiang Shi was Jiang Xiniang's aunt, Jiang Xiniang's father and her were only cousins, and there was a difference of ten years in age. On weekdays, the relationship is not far or close.

So she didn't expect that Jiang Xiniang, who had little contact with her, would come to visit her from Shunzhou.

But Mrs. Jiang is a smart and shrewd woman, knowing that Jiang's parents are now the head of the house, since Jiang Xiniang said she came to see her. When facing this niece, she was very affectionate, and even went to the second gate to pick her up in person. Outsiders saw how close the relationship between the aunt and nephew was.

In fact, Mrs. Jiang is not familiar with Jiang Xiniang, but her relationship with Miss Jiang Ba, Jiang Yuanniang, is closer, because when she was not married, she used to live upstairs and downstairs with Jiang Yuanniang in a small building. Embroidery and talking together to pass the time. At that time, the Jiang family was still the head of the second house, but the shrewd Jiang family would not let go of this opportunity to get closer to the big house.

After entering the Han family and meeting the elders of the Han family, the aunt and nephew closed the door and talked about the past for an hour. No one knew what they talked about, but there were constant laughter coming from the room, which sounded like a conversation. Very happy look. When the two came out to eat, Jiang's eyes were reddish.

Jiang Xiniang stayed at Han's house for one night, and said on the second day that she was going to meet some friends she had met in Yunyang City before. The first person she wanted to meet was Ren Yaoqi, a young lady from the Ren family who married into Yanbei Palace.

After Jiang Xiniang and Mrs. Jiang left, Han Yunqian asked Han You thoughtfully, "Miss Jiang's Sixth is familiar with Mrs. Xiao's Young Lady?"

Han You thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Knowledge is acquaintance, but it shouldn't be too familiar, right? Speaking of which, the two ladies of the Jiang family and Miss Yun's family should be familiar with each other." Han You read it after finishing speaking Han Yunqian took a look.

Han Yunqian didn't care, just frowned and thought.

Ren Yaoqi was not very surprised when she learned that Mrs. Han and Jiang Xiniang had entered Yanbei Palace to visit her, and asked them to wait outside for a while before being led into the small flower hall where she used to receive guests.

Xiao Jingxi's Zhaoning Hall never received idlers, and Ren Yaoqi seldom met guests in Zhaoning Hall, and usually used the Yingyage Pavilion in front of Zhaoning Hall. Yingyage Pavilion is not big, it used to be vacant, after Ren Yaoqi married into Yanbei Prince's Mansion, she had someone tidy up the inside, and the big flower hall in it was used to meet outsiders.

When Ren Yaoqi passed, Jiang Shi and Jiang Xiniang had already used up half a cup of tea.

"I have met Young Madam." Jiang Shi and Jiang Xiniang hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Ren Yaoqi helped Jiang Shi who was closest to her, and said with a smile, "Don't be polite, please sit down. I was late just now, so please don't take offense."

Jiang Xiniang smiled and said, "Young Madam, you are serious. You are doing us a favor by coming to see my aunt and me."

Ren Yaoqi smiled and glanced at Jiang Xiniang. Jiang Xiniang was good-looking, with a bookish air from a scholarly family, which could make people like her, but Ren Yaoqi knew that this girl was not what she appeared to be. So harmless, on the contrary she is very powerful.

Jiang's face is plump and round, with willow-leaf curved eyebrows. Although her appearance is not as outstanding as that of Jiang Xiniang and Jiang Yuanniang, she also has the same skin as Jiang's girl, which is very attractive. It was the first time Ren Yaoqi had close contact with Jiang Shi, and the first impression was not bad.

Jiang Xiniang was also secretly looking at Ren Yaoqi. Compared with the last time they met, Ren Yaoqi's appearance was more outstanding. Although it was not as eye-catching and gorgeous as her sister Ren Yaohua, there was a kind of beauty that made people unable to take their eyes off her. The elegance is in the body, and the temperament is particularly outstanding.

On the surface, Jiang Xiniang was visiting friends today, but everyone present knew that Ren Yaoqi and Jiang Xiniang had no personal relationship, and Ren Yaoqi could ignore their sudden request to see her. But no one here mentioned this stubble.

After talking about the special products she brought from Shunzhou this time, Jiang Xiniang said apologetically, "Actually, it's a bit abrupt for us to come today uninvited. Please don't take the blame, Young Madam."

Ren Yaoqi raised her eyes and smiled slightly, but didn't answer, waiting for Jiang Xiniang to say more.

Jiang Xiniang pondered for a moment, glanced at Mrs. Jiang, and then sighed: "Our Jiang family has opened an academy in Shunzhou since our ancestors settled down in Shunzhou. Speaking of the Jiang family academy, although it cannot be compared with Yunyang Academy, but After all, it is also a benefit to one side, and a little fame."

Ren Yaoqi nodded: "Jiang Family Academy is indeed one of the best in Yanbei."

Jiang Xiniang smiled wryly and shook her head: "Yes, but this is only superficial scenery. The first rule of my Jiang family's ancestors is that no descendants of the Jiang family are allowed to engage in business, but the Jiang family's family land and most of the property in the family are only handed down to others. The eldest son of the eldest son, and the rest of the Jiang family’s children can only rely on the few mu of Susukida allotted to them or rely on the support from the clan.” This is why the eldest and second sons of the Jiang family fought to the death.

Ren Yaoqi had heard about these things, but she didn't make a sound.

Jiang Xiniang said again: "But the Jiang family has at least four to five hundred people, and most of them are scholars who have no power to restrain themselves. They don't do production on weekdays. If we only rely on renting the few acres of land Most of the people would starve to death. So the Jiang family came up with a compromise, bought a large piece of land in the city, and built two streets of shops, planning to lease these shops out in the future. Some money. This is not considered a business, but it can support more members of the Jiang family."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xiniang sighed: "It was a good thing at first, but it's a pity that there were some twists and turns later. My father bought the land where the shop was built at a relatively low price, but now that There are some problems with the Zhang land deed. It turns out that the land there is jointly owned by three brothers. That one was sold again. Seeing that all the shops were almost built, we realized that a third of them belonged to someone else. My father has been greying for this recently."

It's no wonder that Jiang Xiniang's father was anxious. He was able to safely drive his uncle to step down and take over the position of patriarch because it made many clansmen see the benefits. He persuaded his grandfather to buy this land to build a shop street. of. Now that there is a problem with this land, the interests of some clansmen will be damaged, and it is very likely that his position as the clan leader will be unstable.

"Can't find another land buyer to buy back the land in his hand?" Ren Yaoqi asked. RL
