The lady may not be human

Chapter 265 Finding a Backer
Dong Nuan didn't care much about the situation in the old house, and went directly to the patriarch's house.

The patriarch is waiting for the warmth of winter.

Dong Zhi returned home after a long time, and the family was quite happy.

Especially his mother, pulling people, crying and laughing at the same time.

After a long time, he murmured: "Boy, why do you look like... fat?"

The last two words, the voice is low, some can't hear clearly.

After being away from home for so long, she didn't think about food and drink at home, thinking about her son, but his son got fat outside, and the mood of being a mother was a bit complicated.

Dong Zhi was a little embarrassed when A Niang said that, just as he was embarrassed, Dong Nuan came over.

The patriarch asked Dong Nuan to come, and what he did was actually simple.

lard soap.

After waiting for a long time, this thing is finally finalized and ready to use.

It is inconvenient to use before it is finalized, and nothing can be seen.

When it is really put into use, you will find that this thing is really easy to use!
Easy to carry and very smooth to use.

Washing clothes is clean, washing hands and taking a bath is also very comfortable.

Then the patriarch panicked.

Such a good thing, even if he puts all his strength into it, he is afraid that he will not be able to keep it.

At his age, he still has this vision.

What should I do if I can't keep it?
It wasn't that he hadn't thought of asking Dong Fugui for help at first, but it happened that the other party also wanted to inquire about this matter.

The other party's eldest daughter is married to the head of the county seat, and if something really happened, she can still find a backer.

However, what Fang Zi leaked before did make the patriarch's trust in their family drop a lot.

In addition, this recipe was really shared with Dong Fugui's family. Based on the way the other family climbed up, they might all become paving stones in the end.

Therefore, the patriarch finally calmed down and planned to discuss it with Dong Nuan.

He had heard that Dong Nuan still had some contacts with the county magistrate's mansion.

The patriarch didn't ask much about this matter, after all, it was Dong Nuan's private matter, so he didn't ask too much.

However, Dong Zisheng revealed something in his words before. Of course, the other party was complaining. He felt that Dong Nuan didn't care about the clan. It had something to do with such a good connection.

It was also because the faces of these people in Dongfugui's mansion became more and more unattractive, so the patriarch was unwilling to share lard soap with them.

They no longer cared about the Dong clan members, and only thought about their own interests, which was beyond reproach.

But if you eat the welfare of the clan and don't care about the life and death of the clan, isn't that pretty?

Even if it's just doing superficial work like before.

However, they have become more and more perfunctory even on the surface, and the patriarch also has opinions in his heart.

It's just that the higher the family climbs, the more they are not controlled by the clan.

The patriarch has thousands of thoughts in his heart, but he is not prepared to put them all on Dong Nuan, he just wants to hear Dong Nuan's opinion.

"Nuanya." The patriarch sighed softly, opened his mouth slowly, and said something about the lard soap: "It has been dried and formed, and I have tried it at home, and it is really easy to use. After washing my hands, it is quite white and comfortable. of."

It can't be said to be particularly tender and smooth, after all, it will feel a little stagnant after being put in lye.

"Well, that's good." Dongnuan had guessed a long time ago that the patriarch was looking for him, so he smiled slightly at this time, and was not in a hurry to say anything.

Seeing Dong Nuan's indifferent attitude and slight smile, the patriarch could understand that Dong Nuan had guessed it.

Two years ago, if the patriarch said that the little girl who was thin, dark, quiet, and had no sense of existence, would become like this two years later, he couldn't believe it.

But now, believe it or not.

The glory of the Dong clan, maybe, will depend on this clever little girl in front of him in the future.

Since he is a smart person, the patriarch didn't plan to make too many detours. He said again very bluntly: "This thing is really convenient to use, and I don't know if we can keep it with all our efforts."

Hearing what the patriarch said, Dong Nuan lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and chose a straightforward way: "Then try to find a backer?"

Dong Nuan didn't directly mention the relationship with the county magistrate, because he still wanted to see the patriarch's attitude towards Dong Fugui's family.

If the other party's backer is Dong Fugui's family, then Dong Nuan can't say anything, after all, the other party's surname is also Dong.

However, that's the end of it. From now on, it's fine for everyone to maintain the superficial harmony. No matter how many things there are, she won't pay a cent.

Dong Nuan still remembers the attitudes of Dong Zisheng and Dong Zining before.

The patriarch naturally knew about the small conflicts between them, so he nodded and said, "I want to find one, but we don't have any connections."

Speaking of this, the patriarch paused slightly, and after thinking about it, he tentatively asked: "I heard that Nuanya has a little friendship with the county magistrate's mansion?"

Regarding this, Dong Nuan didn't hide anything, and said generously: "I have a little friendship with the eldest girl in your lord's house. If the patriarch grandpa needs it, I can help you connect."

In fact, if this matter is really successful, it will be a win-win situation for the Dong clan and the county magistrate.

The county magistrate only needs to make good use of lard soap, and then let those perfumers slowly improve, and then produce some soaps with other scents, which will drive the development of the entire county, and even the development of the entire prefecture, then His political achievements will soon be enough to return to the capital.

It's just that people's hearts are unpredictable, and this matter is just a guess before the marriage is successful.

Dong Nuan can't guarantee anything at this time.

"Then trouble Nuanya." Seeing Dong Nuan's frank attitude, the patriarch was not polite, and said it openly.

While speaking, he also signaled to Dongzhi to wrap things up.

They prepared a small box of lard soap, of course for the county magistrate to see the real thing.

As for the follow-up matter, Dong Nuan is actually not going to intervene, it is a matter between the Dong clan and the county magistrate.

However, she is still needed for the early matchmaking, she can't, and it's hard to refuse.

"Grandfather patriarch, you are welcome, we are all one family." Dong Nuan said a few polite words with a smile.

Because the houses in the village hadn't been tidied up for a long time, it was not easy to spend the night at the patriarch's house in winter, so they drove the carriage back to the town before dark.

Looking at the carriage going away, the patriarch sighed softly, and said in a low voice with Aunt Dongzhi who was following him: "You don't have to worry too much, Nuanya is not a thing in the pool, brother Zhi follows her, it's no loss .”

Dong Zhiniang is not stupid, how could she not see it?

It's just that, after all, she was reluctant to leave home for the child she had been raising all the time, so she choked up and replied, "Yeah."

After answering, he seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Then uncle..."
