After Rona met Jiang Wan and Jiang Gu, Jiang Wan asked him to quickly cover the conspicuous golden retriever on his head. The three of them found an alley with fewer people, and Jiang Wan deliberately branched out Jiang Gu in the name of Wangfeng.

As soon as Jiang Gu left, Jiang Wan let go, and the two spoke English directly.

"Ronna, let me ask you first, have you ever thought about what kind of life you want to live in the future?" Jiang Wan asked after pondering for a moment.

Ron Na was stunned for a moment, he still had a bright smile on his face when he saw Jiang Wan, but when he heard her question, the smile fell, and he sighed and said, "I don't know either...... When I was first sold into slavery, my heart was full of hatred, and I thought about going back to my uncle for revenge all the time, but now I ...... It's hard for me to even survive, so what can I talk about revenge? Maybe I'll have to spend my life in hatred...... Alas......"

Ronna's words were very negative, but Jiang Wan could hear it, his heart was full of unwillingness, and those who were unwilling in their hearts would have ambitions.

"Ronna, then listen up, I have an idea to discuss with you, whether you do it or not, it is your freedom." Jiang Wan said.

Rona pulled away from his sadness and asked curiously, "What kind of thoughts are you?" ”

Jiang Wan said: "Yesterday you mentioned that there is a kind of cotton, and I suspect that the cotton is better than the variety here, and it will definitely be welcomed when woven into cotton cloth." If you'd like to, I want you to go and find it. ”

Rona blinked, and then said, "I'd be happy to find that kind of cotton for you, but unfortunately, I can't afford to go to sea, I don't have any savings now, and I'll starve to death halfway." His expression was wistful.

Jiang Wan said: "If you're just worried about this, then you don't have to worry about it at all. That Gongzi Xie is willing to provide funds and manpower. Besides, you are not looking for me, but for us. ”

Ronna's eyes lit up: "He, is he really so generous?" He paused, then wondered, "For us?" ”

"It's not generosity, it's reciprocity." Jiang Wan said, "In this business, you go to find cotton is the key among the keys. My idea is that you, me, and Mr. Xie, the three of us will work together and share the income equally in the future. ”

Rona looked at Jiang Wan blankly, as if he couldn't understand her words.

"You, you're not giving me money for nothing?" Ronna's eyes widened and he said excitedly, "I don't have anything, really, really want to count me in?" ”

Rona gasped hard, his hands trembled unconsciously, he was now poor, he felt that it was God's gift to be able to live like this, but he didn't expect that there were greater benefits waiting for him. Once again, he was sure that the girl in front of him was indeed an angel sent by God to save him!

"You have nothing, but you have a lot to give." Jiang Wan said, "You have to take someone to find cotton, the road is long and hard, and it may even be dangerous, only if you find cotton, can you go on." ”

Rona walked around excitedly, and when he heard Jiang Wan's words, he turned his head and said repeatedly: "I'm not afraid of danger!" God brought me here to hone me, and now that such a wonderful opportunity is in front of me, how can I let God down? ”

In the past, he had no choice, so he could only survive secretly, and had no other luxury than to live. But now it was different, such a unique opportunity was placed in front of him, and if he didn't hold on tightly, he would be sorry for his father in heaven. No matter how dangerous and hard it is, he is not afraid, he has to do it well, and when he has money in the future, he will return to his hometown and avenge his father!

Jiang Wan smiled slightly: "I'm glad to hear your answer like this." So now, let's talk about the plan. My idea is to let Gongzi Xie take out some silver and personnel first, and you will lead the way to find cotton, and our side will make preliminary preparations for opening a factory, if you successfully find cotton and come back, we can start manufacturing immediately. If you have any other ideas, you can also say it. ”

Ron quickly shook his head: "It's all up to you!" ”

Jiang Wan thought about it, decided to be a villain before a gentleman, looked at Rona and said, "In addition, I have an idea that although the three of us are essentially equal in establishing this factory, I hope that the decision on things in the future will be in my hands." ”

Rona nodded vigorously: "Of course!" It can be seen that Rona has not carefully thought about what Jiang Wan's words mean.

Jiang Wan wanted to remind Rona again, but she could see that he was staring at her with wide eyes, and his expression was full of trust and gratitude, and she felt that it was the same whether she said it or not. She saved him before, and now she gave him a chance to have a new life, maybe he is grateful to her at the moment, how can he fight with her □□?

Jiang Wan only smiled in the end, and didn't dwell on this matter again.

She laughed, "Before you go, there's a very important thing you need to do. ”

"What's the matter?" Rhona wondered.

"Learn the language of the Great Song Dynasty." Jiang Wan said.

Rona thought so, but was a little embarrassed: "I also know what I should learn, but ...... Your Da Song's words are really difficult to learn, and I have a feeling that I don't know where to start. ”

Jiang Wan said: "I'll teach you." ”

Ronna's eyes lit up: "Really? That's great! ”

"Don't get too excited, I'm a very strict guru, you have to learn it in the shortest possible time." Jiang Wan said.

Rona nodded hurriedly, patted his chest and said seriously: "I swear to God, I will devote myself wholeheartedly and do my best to learn the words of the Great Song in the shortest possible time!" ”

Jiang Wan smiled with satisfaction, her eyes swept out, and she saw Jiang Gu probing his brain not far away. She beckoned to Jiang Gu and motioned for him to come over.

Jiang Gu had been waiting anxiously, and when he saw her calling, he immediately ran over quickly.

"Let's go to the county government to find Mr. Xie." Jiang Wan said.

Jiang Gu's face was suddenly a little uneasy, he thought he could go back, but he didn't expect to go to Gongzi Xie, he, like his father, was a little stunned when he saw Gongzi Xie.

"Sister, do you really want to go to Gongzi Xie? Wouldn't it be great? Jiang Gu hesitated.

Jiang Wan rubbed his head and smiled, "It's okay, don't panic." ”

was told by Jiang Wan, Jiang Gu's face was a little red, and he muttered, "I didn't panic......"

The three of them walked out of the alley, and on the way to the county office, they ran into Xie An, who was in a hurry to find someone. He lost someone, and he was afraid of being scolded by Xie Chengchou, so he only found a few people to come out to find him. Seeing Rona coming towards him, Xie An's eyes lit up, and he rushed up to a bear hug: "But I'm in a hurry, Ronna, where did you go?!" ”

After Xie An finished speaking, he found that there were two more people next to him, and after taking a closer look, his face suddenly changed to a smile: "Miss Jiang, you are ......?"

Jiang Wan smiled: "I came to find Gongzi Xie, but I didn't expect to see Rona on the road, so I brought him with me." ”

Jiang Gu saw Jiang Wan open her eyes and say nonsense, and glanced at her with a strange expression.

Jiang Wan was psychologically good, she was speaking well at this time, and she didn't see any signs of lying, Xie An hurriedly said: "That's really thank you Miss Jiang!" The little one took Rona out before, and he planned to let him see the prosperity of our Great Song Dynasty, but he didn't expect him to disappear in a blink of an eye, making me anxious......"

"He doesn't speak the same language as us, so it's really easy to get lost, and it's no wonder you." Jiang Wan said.

Xie An nodded again and again: "It's not!" He paused, and then sneered, "Miss Jiang, this Rona almost got lost, can you say a few kind words for the little one in front of the young master?" If the young master knows, he must punish the small one! ”

Jiang Wan smiled: "Anyway, Rona is not lost, so there is no need to tell Gongzi Xie about this, right?" ”

"Miss Jiang said yes, said yes!" Xie An smiled brightly. He also thought so, if the young master knew about his dereliction of duty, he would have to scold him, this Jiang girl is so understanding, no wonder the young master always treats her differently and never forgets it.

He slapped his head and said with annoyance: "Look at the little one's temperament, Miss Jiang wants to find the young master, and the little one just stopped Miss Jiang from saying a lot of nonsense." Miss Jiang, please come with the little one. ”

"I'm tired." Jiang Wan nodded.

Xie An took Jiang Wan into the backyard of the county government, asked Jiang Wan to sit and wait for a while, and he quickly ran to the study to find Xie Chengchou. Hearing that Jiang Wan was coming, Xie Chengchou was overjoyed, put down the half-painted painting, walked out of the study quickly, stood outside the room where Jiang Wan was waiting, and dressed up before walking in elegantly.

"Miss Jiang, are you okay lately?" Xie Chengchou said with a smile.

Jiang Wan stood up and smiled: "Thank you for Gongzi's blessing, it's all good." ”

The two sat down again, Xie Chengchou looked at Jiang Wan quietly, and said with a smile: "Miss Jiang, are you for what you said a few days ago?" He wished she had come to see him because she had just missed him, but he knew it wasn't possible.

"Exactly." Jiang Wan said, "Regarding the matter of cotton, I want to talk to Gongzi Xie first, after all, we are going to cooperate, and we must always talk about it openly and honestly." ”

Xie Chengchou said: "What Miss Jiang said is very true, please speak." ”

Jiang Wan said: "The matter of cotton is currently only dictated by Ronna, we don't know if it is really of high quality, and only Rona has seen that kind of cotton, my current idea is to ask him to go out with his manpower and find cotton to bring back, if the quality is really better than the current cotton quality of the Great Song Dynasty, then this matter is half the matter." ”

Xie Chengchou nodded: "Indeed." I know people who travel a lot, and manpower is not a problem. Just Rhon...... He can't even say the words of Da Song now, so it's not easy to do. ”

Jiang Wan said: "Gongzi Xie, I just have an idea. I am the only one here who can understand his words, and I think I am the only one who will teach him the words of our Great Song. Therefore, I want to ask Gongzi Xie to be an intermediary and let Rona go to Xu Tucai's house, and then I can teach him nearby. ”

This is the method that Jiang Wan thought of on the way. There is some distance between Changping County and Shanxia Village, if she goes back and forth every day, not to mention the hard work on the road, and wastes time, there is not much time left to teach Rona. And her father and mother are now coming once every two days, so she has even less time to teach Ronna. And she can't let her parents know what she's doing, which can be described as difficult. Therefore, she thought in turn that it was inconvenient for her to come, so she asked Rona to go to Yamashita Village. However, it is impossible for Rona to go directly to her house, it just so happens that Xu Tucai has a relationship with Xie Chengchou, and through Guò Xie Chengchou, he can put Rona to Xu Tucai lightly. At that time, she will not follow her father and mother to the county seat, and will have more time to teach Ronna. For example, Houshan is a good place to teach. And considering the risk of being bumped into, she can take Jiang Gu and Xu Hui with her at that time.

Jiang Wan found that the maintenance of her reputation was now in a dispensable state. Try to be thoughtful when doing things usually, but if it is really difficult to maintain, then it is naturally based on what she has to do, and she can't be tied up for the sake of fame, and she can't do anything well.

Xie Chengchou pondered for a moment and nodded, "That's a good idea." ”

Even if there was a moment of surprise in his heart, he didn't express it. Miss Jiang is a very mysterious woman to him, and when he gets along with her, he has no restraints when he gets along with other women, and he said that he would cooperate with him to open a shop, and now he said that he would teach Rona the words of this barbarian Song Dynasty...... He really didn't know how many unknown aspects of her could surprise him.

"Tomorrow, Rona can go to Shanxia Village with Xu Tucai." Xie Chengchou said, "If there is anything else you need, Miss Jiang can tell me." ”

"There's nothing more needed about Rhona." Jiang Wan said, "But about our cooperation, there are some things that we should make clear first. ”

Xie Chengchou looked at Jiang Wan with a smile, and said, "That's natural, Miss Jiang, please say." ”

Jiang Wan said: "Gongzi Xie, then let me offend." Gongzi Xie, you are the son of the Zhixian family, and I am just a peasant girl, and Rona is a barbarian, the three of us have different identities, but if we can cooperate this time, I hope that in this cooperative relationship, the three of us are equal. ”

Xie Chengchou smiled in his eyes, nodded and said, "I understand what Miss Jiang means, this should indeed be the case." ”

Jiang Wan said: "There is another point, if the matter of cotton is decided, I hope that Gongzi Xie will not interfere with my decision in the future." ”

Xie Chengchou was a little surprised: "What does this mean?" Miss Jiang, are you going to ...... Take care of it yourself? ”

"Exactly." Jiang Wan said. In fact, the restraint on women in this overhead dynasty is not as strict as in the Ming and Qing dynasties, at least she often sees some unmarried women and men shopping together. If she is just a widow, it is not difficult to remarry, but now that the family affairs are difficult, it is still Kefu's reputation.

Xie Chengchou looked at Jiang Wan fixedly, stroked his palm for a while and smiled: "Miss Jiang is really courageous!" ”

The word courage should not be used on a woman, but here and now, Xie Chengchou only felt that this word was very appropriate for her.

"Gongzi Xie praised it falsely." Jiang Wan said, "Gongzi Xie doesn't think that my ideas and practices are shocking, they are the most rare. ”

Xie Chengchou smiled slightly, Jiang Wan's praise for him made him very useful, he smiled: "Lile secular is the most boring thing, if you can only live under those paths that are condemned to death, it is really better to live than to die." I have always admired people who despise the world like Miss Jiang. ”

"Thank you so much, Childe." Jiang Wan said with a smile. She felt that it was an extremely wise choice to save Xie Chengchou's family with kindness, such a person was really worthy of being a friend.

She changed her words and said, "Gongzi Xie, you also know that Rona and I have no money, and the initial investment will cost you money." Rona is responsible for the most important cotton purchase, and I will take care of all the things inside and out, as for Xie Gongzi, you are the owner of the money, responsible for investing money, sitting and waiting to collect the money. The three of us have our own responsibilities, and I don't think it's too much to divide the final dividends equally among the three of us. ”

After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Wan thought that half of the money Xie Chengchou invested that she had borrowed was actually just a face-saving project and meaningless. Money is very important, you can't do anything without capital, but creativity is also priceless, and she doesn't think that the entrepreneurial path she came up with and her future efforts to the factory are not worth one-third of the final income.

Therefore, at this time, she did not mention that it was borrowed by her. Moreover, she also deliberately made her thoughts clear, hoping that Xie Chengchou could accept her equal idea of "obviously only he invested money, but in the end the three of them had to be divided equally". The villain first and then the gentleman, if he doesn't accept it, he can regret it, if he accepts it, then in the future, he will do what he says now, which is very fair.

Xie Chengchou raised his eyebrows, straightened his body slightly in response to Jiang Wan's faint awe-inspiring aura at this moment, and said with the same straight face: "What Miss Jiang said, I understand, and it is indeed the truth. ”

Seeing that he accepted his idea, Jiang Wan relaxed and chuckled: "Gongzi Xie is really different from ordinary people, I am very glad that the person I met at the beginning was Gongzi Xie." ”

"Me too......" Although he understood that Jiang Wan didn't mean that, Xie Chengchou couldn't help but soften his eyebrows and said softly.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious and warm.

When sending Jiang Wan away, Xie Chengchou suddenly sighed and said suspiciously: "Miss Jiang, you have such vision and courage, I don't know how to train it......

Jiang Wan glanced at him with a smile and did not speak. Can she say that her vision comes from her education in modern times?

Fortunately, Xie Chengchou didn't mean to ask Jiang Wan to answer, smiled at her, and watched her leave.

Xie An followed Xie Chengchou back to the study, Xie Chengchou picked up half of the painting he had just drawn, as if he was very inspired, and after a few strokes, he sketched a graceful figure.

Xie An swept around, and now there is only a portrait of Miss Jiang left in the study, which is hung all over the walls, which shows the depth of his young master's affection. After Xie Chengchou finished painting and put down his pen, Xie An asked, "Young master, you admire Miss Jiang so much, why don't you just go to propose marriage?" If the master knew that the young master finally wanted to get married, he would be ecstatic. ”

Xie Chengchou stared at the woman on the portrait with a gentle expression, and said, "Xie An, what do you know?" Now Miss Jiang has no other intentions for me, and if I go to propose marriage, she will definitely reject me. ”

Xie An was puzzled: "But young master, you are the son of the master, and she has such a reputation, it is a great luck that someone is willing to marry her, not to mention that that person is you!" ”

Xie Chengchou glanced at Xie An with hatred, and sighed: "It's in vain that you have followed me for so many years, and you haven't even learned half of my eyesight." If Miss Jiang is such a superficial woman, how can I be so distressed and happy? That's it, I can't tell you about this, you just need to remember not to make trouble. ”

Xie An grinned and said, "Young Master, where do you dare to make trouble!" Although the little one didn't understand what the young master meant, he also knew that he would be polite to Miss Jiang in the future and treat her as a future young grandmother! ”

Xie Chengchou smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "Go and call Xu Tucai, hasn't he always wanted to come over, I'll give him this opportunity now!" ”

"Yes, young master!" Xie An hurriedly took the order.

After doing one thing, Jiang Wan was in a good mood after coming out of Xie Chengchou. However, Jiang Gu seemed to be a little worried all the time.

Jiang Wan said: "Xiao Er, as a man, it's not good to be so indecisive. ”

Jiang Gu sneered on his face and said in a low voice: "But I'm always a little scared, sister, don't we really tell my father?" ”

"Of course I have to say it, but not now." Jiang Wan said, "It took a lot of work to persuade my father and mother to come to the county seat to set up a stall to do business. Now this matter, my father and mother will definitely not agree. But now this is a rare opportunity, and if I don't seize it, I will definitely regret it. Xiao Er, didn't you think about being a rich man before? Why, just thinking about it, if you really want to do it, you don't dare? ”

Jiang Gu said: "Sister, I just think...... I don't think we can do it. ”

Jiang Wan said: "You haven't started to do it yet, why do you say you can't do it?" Do you think I'm just yelling at things when my brain is hot? I have thought about this before, and I have not only thought about how to continue to do it, but also how to solve it if there is an accident halfway, and what kind of accident I have to give up...... Xiao Er, let me tell you, you don't always think that I can't do it, but think about what you have to consider in order to do it. You see, you used to say that you couldn't read, but now you have learned a lot of words? ”

Jiang Gu listened carefully to Jiang Wan's words, and finally nodded thoughtfully: "Sister, I know!" You told me before that where there is a will, there is a way, is it the same truth? ”

"Pretty much." Jiang Wan smiled, "If people don't have dreams, what's the difference between them and salted fish?" If you have a dream, you have to live it, and that's what I'm doing now. ”

Jiang Gu nodded: "Then I will help you too!" ”

"You're already helping me." Jiang Wan smiled, "Remember to continue to help me hide from my parents, and when the time is right in the future, we will make it clear." ”

"Good!" Jiang Gu nodded vigorously.

Jiang Wan and Jiang Gu went back to meet their families first, helped look at the stalls for a while, and then returned to the village together.

The family returned home happily, Jiang Wan helped clean up, and inadvertently looked up, only to see Pei You standing at the door of her yard with joy on his face.

Jiang Wan was a little surprised, in broad daylight, how could Pei You come to her house?

She put down her things and walked over, and was about to speak, but Pei You took the first step and said with a happy face: "Wanwan, my mother promised us!" ”
