The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 71
72
The original owner used his uncle Mi Zhiqing's connections to hire two people in the county who knew how to handle tiger skins to help them.

After the tiger skin was processed, Mi Congcong took the tiger skin to the home of a wealthy businessman who sold North and South goods, and sold the tiger skin to him at a very low price. During the conversation, the wealthy businessman was pleasantly surprised to learn that she also had the secret tiger bone paste handed down from his ancestors. , is developed from tiger bone paste, leopard bone paste, etc. It has excellent analgesic effect, so I want to buy it, because the son of a rich man broke his waist while riding a horse a few years ago. Change can still be painful.

This is the son of a wealthy businessman. He has tried all the medicines he heard and tried, but his son's back injury still cannot be cured, so he can only look for some painkillers.

In fact, the original owner just heard the old man casually say that he only sells tiger skins, and the tiger bone paste should be reserved for the development of bone paste. Then he thought of the rich businessman in the county. After some bargaining, Mi Congcong took half of the old man's body The cans of special tiger bone paste were sold to wealthy businessmen at a high price. The combined price of tiger skin and tiger bone paste was much higher than that sold in Wushan Town. I also got a few taels of silver.

It was also a hot summer. When Mi Congcong and his old man came out of the rich merchant's house, they met Zhong's mother who had fainted due to heatstroke, and sent her to the hospital. After hearing the news, Zhong Jingchao arrived, and the two met for the first time.

In Mi Congcong's eyes at that time, Zhong Jingchao was a handsome, gentle, and extraordinary man, and she didn't think they would have an intersection.

Zhong Jingchao thanked her again and again, and then sent her and the old man to the carriage and returned to Wushan Town.

On the way back to Wushan Town, Mi Congcong thought of a way to make money. After discussing with the old man, he decided to wait for the boss's son to recover from his injuries and go to the nearby Orion's house to collect tiger bone and leopard bone paste, and then the old man would use his family's ancestral bone paste. The bone paste is then made into a miraculously effective analgesic ointment, and Mi Congcong is responsible for the sale of the analgesic ointment.

The old man's specially made tiger bone paste was really effective. Mi Congcong didn't even need to go out to find a way. The wealthy businessman came to him and bought the old man's old jars of tiger bone paste at a high price.

Tiger bones and leopard bones are not common items. Sooner or later they will be out of stock. This business is not a long-term solution. Mi Congcong was already acquainted with the wealthy businessman at that time. With the help of the wealthy businessman, Mi Congcong used For the money earned from selling tiger bone paste, I asked someone to bring back some dry goods from the south, and made a certain profit from it.

At that time, because of the bad weather, a small part of the goods were wet and had to be sold at a low price, but she still made a small profit.

It was at this time that Zhong Jingchao and the clan elders came to ask for marriage together. She really couldn't believe it at the time.

At that time, Zhong Jingchao was a high-ranking person in her eyes, someone she had to look up to. She didn't even dare to think that she and Zhong Jingchao would meet again one day, let alone that he would marry her.

Apart from disbelief, she was ecstatic.

Just like in this life, the whole village, even grandma and uncle felt that this was the blessing she had cultivated in her previous life, and even she herself felt that she had joined the Zhong family, so after getting married, she learned that Zhong's mother was always sick and sick. As the illness continued, he put more effort into earning money, bought precious medicinal materials and supplements and sent them to the Zhong family in a steady stream, and secretly established contacts for Zhong Jingchao, preparing for him to be named on the gold list one day...

"Congcong, did you hear what I said? Is there something uncomfortable?" Mrs. Ye's worried voice pulled Mi Congcong back from his thoughts.

Seeing Mi Congcong's misty eyes gradually gain focus, Ye Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "Congcong, what happened to you just now? I almost scared grandma to death."

Ye obviously still has lingering fears about the almost death of his eldest granddaughter.

"Grandma, I don't agree with this marriage!" Mi Congcong's face was still pale, but his tone was unquestionable.

In her previous life, she was too innocent to think that Zhong Jingchao fell in love with her at first sight. It was not until she died that she realized that the reason why he came to propose marriage at home was because he liked her way of making a living and her unique vision. All he needed was her money; but now Just as Uncle Gu helped her buy a teahouse, Zhong Jingchao repeated his old tricks. How stupid must she be to repeat the mistakes of her previous life?
After hearing this, Ye's face changed: "Congcong, do you know what you are talking about?"

This kind of marriage is impossible to ask for. How many people in the village are envious and jealous secretly, but this child actually said that he disagrees with this marriage!

Looking at the grandma who almost gave up her anger, Mi Congcong realized that if she had no reasonable reason, this marriage would definitely come true. After all, this was a dynasty that was ordered by her parents and said by a matchmaker. There is no room for comment at all.

Thinking of this, Mi Congcong changed into a hesitant expression, and said in a low voice: "Grandma, I know exactly what I'm talking about. How can I, a girl from a peasant family, be able to get ahead of Zhong Xiucai? This is not the right family, the wrong household. In the future, if Zhong Xiucai really has an official position, will his family think highly of me and won't rub me? I... I think that I would rather marry a farmer than being a humble official wife who is admired by everyone but actually compromises !"

Her words were not meant to fool grandma, but the truth of her previous life. In her previous life, no one in the Zhong family would look down on her even if she gave her heart and soul to the Zhong family, and no one really treated her as a member of the family.

Mrs. Ye, who was still angry a moment ago, couldn't help feeling distressed when she heard these words, and her tone softened: "Congcong, your grandma has thought about all these worries, but everyone has come to ask for marriage, how can you look down on us? Don't think too much, An'an, there is still more than a year to reach Jiji, and your uncle and I will save a dowry for you to marry in style, and you won't be able to hold your head high in Zhong's house."

"grandmother……"

"Okay, I can't say any more of the stupid words just now, it would be bad if it reaches the ears of Zhong's family, this is a good marriage that can't be found even with a lantern in the door, I won't let you not agree, do you hear? "Although Ye's tone was not harsh, the meaning was obvious. This marriage must be concluded no matter what.

"I'll bring some tea to the folks first, and you can come in later." Ye Shi said and glanced at Mi Congcong, with a warning in his eyes.

Grandma has always been strong, and Mi Congcong knows that once grandma decides, it is difficult to change, so she can't force her.

It was only after Mi Congcong entered the house that he learned from the conversations with the villagers that the Zhong family had promised to give a dowry of 100 taels. No wonder Mi Zhian made the marriage arrangement without asking her.

Moreover, Mi Congcong even heard from the villagers that it was Mi Zhian who accidentally saved Zhong's mother who was almost hit by a carriage, and Zhong Jingchao asked Mi Congcong to marry him in order to repay his kindness.

It turned out to be Mother Zhong again!

It's just that the rescuer was replaced by Mi Zhi'an. Scumbag!
