The History of the Empress of the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 76
"Jin'er, when I finish my studies, I will definitely come to you. Just wait here for me!"

Ruojin rolled her eyes and ignored him: Who does he think he is, asking them to wait here for him to come back, don't you think this sentence is funny?
Obviously, Xiao Shiheng was used to Ruojin's attitude, so he didn't care, and continued to babble.

"I will definitely come back, and I will show you a different Xiao Shiheng!"

Ruojin has the urge to pick up a stick and drive people away...

How did she never know that Xiao Shiheng was such a mother-in-law?
"It's a bit late to go to town now, we won't be selling things today, Xiaoye Xiaoyu and you two will stay and continue weaving, and you two, Big Tiger and Two Tigers, will still go to buy waste items."

Finally sent Xiao Shiheng away, Ruojin looked at the sky, it was about nine o'clock, the summer sun was already very hot, and today's weather was extremely sultry, so she decided not to go to the town to do business.

This time Ruojin went out, Wei Feng insisted on following him, he had practiced martial arts with Tiantongzi for more than ten days, and he was really bored, so Ruojin simply took him out together.

Walking aimlessly in Lin'an City, Ruojin wanted to discover new business opportunities, and listened to all directions along the way, but found that all he heard were the words that the third prince was killed, God was furious, and it would not rain within a month.

Ruojin didn't think much about the drought at first, but these days she has been focusing on making money, and there is a deep well in the workshop, so she didn't feel the severity of the drought.

However, this trip made her really feel it.

It stands to reason that there should be very few people on the street in such hot and dry weather, but since she hasn't been to the city for a few days, why did she find that there are many more people in the city?
No, to be precise, there are many more beggars.

These beggars are obviously fleeing from other places, dragging their families with their families, all of them are sallow and thin, and their lips are even chapped and peeling. Perhaps they have spent all their savings on the journey for too long. Now they have to put down their dignity and start begging.

Looking at the large and small restaurants in the city, almost no one patronizes them. The shopkeeper sits in the hall and dozes helplessly. The business is still good, maybe it is the big restaurant of the Su family.

That's right, the real rich don't care about this kind of drought. They have plenty of silver, and if they have money, they are not afraid of running out of food.

I don't know how the business of Detai Building is doing?

Ruojin suddenly remembered Detailou, and walked there involuntarily.

As soon as she walked to the door, Liu Cuilan saw her at a glance, and immediately pulled her into gossip.

"Miss Jin'er, you haven't been here for a while. I heard from Shan'er that your business is doing well. I'm so happy for you!"

Shan'er was Xiaohu back then. After recognizing the Liu couple as his parents, he changed his name to Liu Shan.

Liu Cuilan really likes Ruojin, the things she fiddled with are really useful, and she can even come up with such a business as buying waste items and selling them in the town, I really don't know how this brain grows.

"The first few days were really good, but there has been no business in the last two days. Maybe it's because it's hot and everyone hides at home. Jin'er doesn't even know that the drought is so severe!"

Ruojin told the truth, she had nothing to hide from Liu Cuilan.

Speaking of the drought, Liu Cuilan immediately put away her smiling face, and a trace of worry flashed past.

"Isn't it! I see that many shops in the city are closed. If this Detai Building didn't have your prescription, people would come to eat a novelty, and I'm afraid it would have been closed long ago."
