The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 120 The girl's mouth is open again
Lang Jiuchuan used gold needles to open up Ou Miaonan's meridians so that he could recuperate in the future. He also left a prescription for conditioning before leaving with the second son of the Ou family seeing him off.

"When the boy is one month old, I will have to send an invitation to the girl." Opal, with a scruffy beard, bowed to Lang Jiuchuan and thanked him, "Thank you for saving them."

Lang Jiuchuan said: "I am in mourning at home. I have something important to do so I am not able to attend the banquet. Please forgive me."

Opal looked apologetic: "I didn't think it through."

"It's okay. I'll go first." Lang Jiuchuan took Jianlan into the carriage.

Jianlan said, "Miss, are we going back home now?"

"Let's not go back yet. Let's go to Xunxiang Hutong in Xifang first." Lang Jiuchuan sat cross-legged in the carriage, making seals with his hands and regulating his breathing.

Seeing her like this, Jianlan knew that she was going to perform the big and small circulations of the heaven again, so she said nothing more. She just gently stirred the silver charcoal in the small stove in the car and put the teapot on it to burn.

Zhuang Quanhai had already taken down the signboard of the shop in Xunxiang Hutong. Looking at the shop layout that was about to be completely renovated, he felt a little disappointed.

"Lao Zhuang."

Zhuang Quanhai looked up and saw a man in fur coat walking towards him. He was a little surprised: "Brother Ding."

This is Ding Mangu, who is from the same Xifang but does rice business in Wanlong Hutong. He is also a famous wealthy businessman in Jiangnan.

"I heard that you are going back to your hometown. Have you already arranged the shop? When do you plan to leave? I will organize a group and call Brother Luo and others to help you."

Zhuang Quanhai welcomed him into the shop and said with a smile, "Don't worry. We plan to set off after the Lantern Festival or even after the first month of the lunar year. Brother Ding is thoughtful." Seeing Ding Mangu's haggard face, he asked, "Why? You don't look well. Is there anything I can help you with? Just ask."

"Nothing, it's just that Luo'er, your sister-in-law misses her and wants to invite her back to her parents' home for a short stay, but the Zhuo family is not happy about it, saying that it's not right for the daughter-in-law of the Zhuo family to live in her parents' home. When we said we wanted to visit her, she brought up the Zhuo family rules, and now your sister-in-law is so angry that she's sick."

Zhuang Quanhai frowned and said, "The Zhuo family is just a poor family. If Zhuo Yu hadn't passed the imperial examination, they would still be working in the fields. Now he has only been a minor official for two years. What family rules do you think you can use to make trouble?"

He snorted, "If it weren't for your support, Brother Ding, he wouldn't have been able to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination. Even for his current position, you don't know how many connections you made and how much money you put in. To be honest, his annual salary is not even one ten-thousandth of what you put in. Not to mention that after Luo'er married him, you gave her a lot to help her manage interpersonal relationships."

Zhuang Quanhai was somewhat indignant. He thought that all the money Ding Mangu had invested was only enough to support a few students.

When one of the Zhuo family members succeeds, everyone in the family will prosper. After the family changed, the Zhuo family member himself did not achieve much, but became arrogant.

"This Wujing is full of rich and powerful people. Their Zhuo family only has a Jinshi who is a seventh-rank official, but they look down on the Yue family? Have you forgotten who helped him pass the imperial examination and live in a mansion with five entrances in Wujing, surrounded by servants? Can Zhuo Yu's salary cover all the expenses?" He became more and more angry, and said, "You just want to visit your daughter, but you have to use the family rules to make a fuss. Ha, this threshold is harder to enter than the prime minister's house."

Ding Mangu also had some resentment, and said: "Don't mention it, Luo'er is doing well, I won't say more to you, I will go to Baicaotang to invite Doctor Du to come to your house to see your sister-in-law."

"Yes." Zhuang Quanhai sent him out the door and happened to meet Lang Jiuchuan and his servant. He quickly left Ding Mangu and walked forward: "Miss, you are here."

I used "you" as a respectful title. Ding Mangu was a little curious. I heard that Lao Zhuang's shop was located in the mansion of a noble marquis. Is this the owner?
Ding Mangu looked at Lang Jiuchuan, and she also looked at him, lowered her eyes lightly, and said to Zhuang Quanhai: "I came to see how the shop is being repaired?"

Zhuang Quanhai immediately said, "There are still some corners to clean up, and it will be fine after some more paint. The young lady is here, so it's a good opportunity to take a look. If there is anything that needs to be changed, I will ask someone to make changes."

"Ah."

Ding Man Gu waved to Zhuang Quanhai and left quietly.

Zhuang Quanhai accompanied Lang Jiuchuan inside and looked at the place inside and out, explaining: "I have personally checked the wood. They are all whole wood, and they are insect-proof and moisture-proof. You can rest assured."

"Okay." Lang Jiuchuan saw that the shop was indeed well-maintained, so he said, "Then please keep a piece of the best willow wood for me to use for the plaque."

"Oh, that's fine." Zhuang Quanhai rubbed his hands and said, "Thank you for your advice, my eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant. If I set off rashly, I don't know what kind of accident will happen."

As he spoke, he bowed solemnly to Lang Jiuchuan.

Lang Jiuchuan saw that he was really dedicated to the shop, thought for a moment, and asked, "Who was that just now?"

"Oh, that's my good friend, he's also in the grain business in Xifang, he's the owner of Fengxing Grain and Oil Store, his name is Ding Mangu, I can do this business today, it's all thanks to him." Zhuang Quanhai said with some regret: "It's a pity that I don't have the fate of being rich and powerful, I can't do it well."

"Food and wealth are predetermined by fate. Even if you don't have it, your descendants may not. Now you should be content with a small fortune. Raise your children and grandchildren well, be kind and take responsibility, do good deeds and accumulate blessings, and you will always have a good life."

Zhuang Quanhai knew that this was a warning, and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your advice, young lady. To be honest, we as parents hope that our children will be well. If they are well, I can live a peaceful life in my old age, right? It's not like my old friend, who has difficulty visiting his daughter because of her family background... Ah, I'm not hating the rich and despising the family background, please don't blame me, young lady!"

"Visiting my daughter?" Lang Jiuchuan frowned.

"Yes, my old friend chose the right treasure in choosing a son-in-law, and he produced a Jinshi. Unfortunately, this treasure is a little..." Zhuang Quanhai snorted in disdain, and felt that it was not good to gossip about others behind their backs, so he changed the subject and said, "Miss, if you are not in a hurry to leave, it will be noon soon. Why don't you have lunch at my house?"

"No, I have somewhere else to go." Lang Jiuchuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Your old friend, if you give him a warning, he might be involved in a prison lawsuit."

"What?" Zhuang Quanhai was shocked.

"Because his daughter is dead." She had just looked at the man's face. The right side of the Children's Palace was sunken, dark and damaged, which was an ominous face for the loss of a daughter. His eyebrows were red, his cheekbones were blue, and his forehead was black. He would be involved in lawsuits in the near future. Now it seems that it was related to his daughter's death.

Zhuang Quanhai: “!”

What did you say? I'm old and a little hard of hearing. Who did you say died?

Jianlan held her breath, her fingertips trembled slightly, and the girl's mouth was opened again.
