If she had a chance next time, she had to eat it again.

Lu Wenjing was so lost in thought that she even forgot to eat the half-peanut biscuit in her hand.

“What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?” Yan Siying was very curious when she saw that Lu Wenjing was not paying attention even when she was eating delicious food.

“No, nothing. I just remembered something else.” Lu Wenjing waved her hand nonchalantly. “It’s nothing serious.”

Seeing that Lu Wenjing didn’t seem to want to tell her her secret, Yan Siying’s eyes dimmed for a moment, but she quickly perked up and smiled, “I heard that on New Year’s Day, you went out to Qinghe County to look for He Gongzi, the Second Master?”

“Yeah.” Lu Wenjing nodded loudly, “I went to look for my biǎogē.”

“Then…” Yan Siying paused and asked tentatively, “Have you seen He Gongzi’s mistress outside?”

What did she look like and what was her temperament like?

Was she easy to talk to…

“Yes.” Lu Wenjing nodded again, then sighed deeply, grabbed Yan Siying’s hand, and said earnestly, “Sister Ying, I know you have always liked my biǎogē, but I think you should stop liking my biǎogē in the future.”

“Why, why is this?” Yan Siying’s voice trembled slightly.

Could it be that it was because the concubine was so beautiful that she could overwhelm the country and shame the moon and flowers, that He Yanxiu was so bewitched that he no longer had eyes for anyone else?

“Because……”

My biǎogē was already dirty!

He had already given his body to Su Yujin, and was no longer a clean man!

“Anyway, my biǎogē is not worthy of Sister Ying. Sister Ying should stop hanging herself on this crooked tree of biǎogē. Look at other young talents. You will definitely see someone who shares your thoughts with you!”

Lu Wenjing said.

Yan Siying clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes became a little red.

It seemed that, just as she had guessed, He Yanxiu valued ​​that mistress very much.

He took it so seriously that even Lu Wenjing could see that she had no chance of winning, so she advised her to give up early to avoid getting herself into trouble.

But……

Yan Siying sniffed and suppressed all the worries in her heart. “Second Master He is so handsome and outstanding. How can you say that he is not worthy of me? You’d better not lie to me. I know you are worried that Second Master He will be obsessed with that mistress and will treat me badly in the future.”

“But it’s common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. If Second Young Master He really likes her, after I marry Second Young Master He, I can bring her to the capital, give her the status of a concubine, and treat her well.”

“If He Gongzi is willing, it’s fine to be his co-wife…”

Lu Wenjing, “…”

She really didn’t know what good luck my biǎogē had.

He was already a dirty man, yet others still cared about him so much and even made such a big concession.

Especially this Yan Siying, who was gentle, kind, well-educated, and sensible.

Come to think of it, Sister Ying was the same.

In terms of appearance, she was dignified and beautiful. In terms of talent, she was good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Her painting skills were even praised by the Empress Dowager. Her pastry-making skills were better than those of the cooks. In terms of character, she was famous for her dignified and virtuous character in the capital. In terms of her interpersonal relationships, she was also very versatile and no one could find any fault with her.

It could be said that Yan Siying was rightly titled as the most noble lady in the capital, and was more than qualified to be a Huangzifei.

But she was such a person that whenever she heard anything related to He Yanxiu, she seemed to have lost her mind and was completely focused on He Yanxiu. She was willing to do anything and enjoyed it.

It seemed as if there was nothing valuable in this world except He Yanxiu.

However, there were still many interesting things in this world that were worth doing.

How could you be like this for a man?

Lu Wenjing felt that she couldn’t understand it at all.

But seeing Yan Siying crying, Lu Wenjing could only put away her misunderstanding and advised, “Sister Ying, don’t be sad…”

Yan Siying’s eyes were filled with tears at this moment, and she looked like a tearful pear blossom in the rain, which was quite lovable.

Lu Wenjing’s heart ached when she saw this.

This biǎogē of mine was really a troublemaker!

Lu Wenjing stamped her feet in anger.

——

Su Yujin has been busy these days.

She was busy going to the brokerage and buying land.

With the money she had, plus the money He Yanxiu gave her during the New Year, she couldn’t buy too much, but it would be enough for a small farm.

But it depended on whether the brokerage firm happened to have a suitable farm to sell.

As it turned out, Su Yujin was quite lucky. They had a farm with more than 100 acres of dry land, which was on sale. The price was also reasonable, only 1,500 taels.

It was a price that Su Yujin could afford.

“The owner of this farm is named Zhang. He was originally a very wealthy landlord. However, after Old Man Zhang passed away, his only son, Zhang Gongzi, took charge of all the family properties, farms, shops, etc. This is not unusual. The Zhang family is wealthy and has a solid foundation. Even if Zhang Gongzi doesn’t bother to manage the business, the family will definitely have enough money to spend.”

Manager Sun of the brokerage firm explained, “But Zhang Gongzi is a restless and lustful man. He has seven or eight concubines at home, and each of them is not easy to deal with. Over the years, he has messed up the Zhang family and drained most of the family wealth.”

“At the end of last year, Zhang Gongzi fell ill due to his addiction to alcohol and sex, which cost him a lot of money. The family was a little stretched, and Madam Zhang got angry and sent all the concubines away. She also gathered the remaining properties and continued to operate those that could be run and cashed in those that needed to be cashed in.”

“Madam Zhang is now selling this farm to earn money, firstly to pay for Zhang Gongzi’s medical treatment, and secondly to maintain daily household expenses and some business turnover. So the sale is quite urgent and the price is quite appropriate.”

“It’s just that the location of this farm is not very good. Although it’s not far from the county town, it’s a little close to the mountains. The fields are not fertile, and the annual income is limited. But after all, the price is there, and I can’t ask for too much. If someone else wants to buy it, I won’t say anything, but Miss Su wants to buy it, so I will tell you everything I know so that you can have a better idea in your mind.”

Su Yujin nodded. “How are the farmers over there? What is the ability of the previous head of the village?”

“That farm is small, and there are not many farmers. They are all honest. The head of the farm is still there, and he works diligently. He is also waiting to see what the new master thinks.”

Shopkeeper Sun said, “When Miss Su is free, let’s go and take a look together. That way we can rest assured.”

“I’m not very busy recently. It depends on Manager Sun’s availability.” Su Yujin said with a smile.

“Then…” Shopkeeper Sun thought for a moment, “Let’s set off the day after tomorrow.”

Lu Wenjing: Oh, my biǎogē is no longer clean.
He Yanxiu: …
