But after spending ten taels of silver, Jia Yufeng bought two alluring poems from a poor scholar.

Once these two poems were recited in the Wind Pavilion, they attracted quite a few people's attention. Even Duan Qingzhu and Duan Qingwen gave Jia Yufeng a kind look.

Jia Yufeng was not good at reading, but her character was top-notch. He wanted to make friends with them, and with his large amount of money, she asked the people in the Wind Pavilion to provide them with time to come and go.

In less than half a month, Jia Yufeng had already gotten familiar with Duan Qingzhu and Duan Qingwen. Duan Qingzhu was a reserved person, so she was good at speaking. But Duan Qingwen had long since become brothers with Jia Yufeng.

Duan Qingwen was Duan Yueer's brother that shared the same bed as him.

As expected, in just a short span of two months, Jia Yufeng had become very familiar with Duan Yueer. Although Duan Yueer would never show any kind of love between a man and a woman for Jia Yufeng, she was still as attached to her as if he was her own brother.

If one were to say that half a month ago, it just so happened to be Duan Yueer's birthday, Jia Yufeng had the heart to find a special birthday present for Duan Yueer. But she didn't want to rush to find those vulgar items such as jewelry, clothes, and rouge.

Jia Yufeng was an expert at observing words and expressions, she knew that if she were to give birth to Duan Yueer with such a thing, although she would not lose etiquette, she would not be able to win Duan Yueer's favor.

That day, when Jia Yufeng was still feeling troubled, she saw her Third Sister and his mother visiting him from the Zhang Mansion next door. In his sister's arms was an ugly jar that she happily offered to him.

Originally, Jia Yufeng didn't want to give hshe sister's face so much that she could force herself to taste that pitch-black thing in the jar, but unexpectedly, after tasting it, he discovered that this thing was exceptionally sweet and hard to come by.

Jia Yufeng thought for a moment and immediately felt that if this thing was given to Duan Yueer, she would definitely be very happy, and the possibility of him wanting to marry Duan Yueer would also be higher.

Jia Yufeng's personality, which originally meant wind was rain, immediately took away and expropriated everything without caring about her sister's crying.

He even spent fifty taels of silver to get the town's jewellery shop to customize a jar made of glazed flowers, carefully placing the jam inside the jar and happily sending it to the Duan Clan to make Duan Yueer a birthday present.

Needless to say, this gift of Jia Yufeng's had truly been sent to Duan Yueer's heart.

Ever since that day when Duan Yueer had tasted the purple fruit s' sauce and pastries in the Guest Home Resturant, she had always kept it in her mind. Especially after she went back to the county town and ate all the pastries in the entire town, but yet was unable to eat such a sweet taste.

Duan Yueer originally wanted to beg her brother to bring him when she returned to the Clear Water Town to visit Miss Zhang Family in a few days. This way, she would be able to go to the Guest Home Resturant and have a good meal of agaric s and minced meat. Also, he would have to buy ten boxes of eight fruit paste pastries.

Duan Yueer was still deep in her thoughts when she brought a jar of purple fruit sauce, that was meticulously prepared with a glass jar full of sculpted flowers, in front of Duan Yueer.

There was no reason for Duan Yueer to not be happy after eating it. If not for the numerous elders present, Duan Yueer, who was as happy as a child, would almost have thrown herself into Jia Yufeng's embrace.

Originally, it was a romantic affair that everyone was happy about, it was fine but the bad thing was that Jia Yufeng's boast was too big. As long as Duan Yueer liked it, forget about a jar, even thirty to fifty pots wouldn't be a problem.

Jia Yufeng only said that it was not really possible to make Duan Yueer happy, but Duan Yueer actually took it seriously. Duan Yueer didn't know how to be polite to them in the first place, so she asked for ten more jars with a smile, causing Jia Yufeng's face to immediately turn green.

Fortunately, Duan Qingwen couldn't stand it anymore and helped Jia Yufeng to cover her tracks. In the end, Duan Yueer only needed three pots to negotiate with him.

Although Duan Qingwen felt that this jar would cost a lot of silver, he never thought that the fruit paste inside would be even harder to find.

The pitiful Jia Yufeng had boasted too much at the start, and now she couldn't slap her own face in front of the Duan Clan siblings. On the surface, she looked like she was proudly agreeing, but in her heart, she felt like she had just eaten a yellow lotus.

When Jia Yufeng thought about how she snatched the jams from her sister, she grinded her teeth and ordered two sets of the most popular dresses in the current county, the one named Jia Third Sister er, to come and apologize shamelessly.

The anger in Jia Third Sister er's heart that had gotten the fashionable skirt coat disappeared as she looked at her brother's smiling and apologetic face. She pointed out the way for Jia Yufeng, if she wanted the fruit sauce, she would have to go to the Zhang Mansion next door and beg.

Jia Yufeng was not familiar with the Zhang Mansion, as a man, he could not go visit the young miss of his residence without permission, so she could only beg her mother and sister to go up.

In her heart, her son did not decline and brought Jia Third Sister Er along for another trip to Zhang Mansion. Coincidentally, that day, Big Miss Zhang accompanied her cousin to Lian Temple.

Mrs. Zhang thought that since her daughter had the jam, it was not a big deal to ask for three more jars, so she agreed.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang only understood the problem after his daughter returned. Not only was there no jam in her residence, his daughter had a falling out with the jam seller, so not only did she not think of it now, she would never be able to find jam again. What should she do?

Furthermore, the Jia family had been a reputable family clan in the Clear Water Town for more than a hundred years. The Zhang Mansion had the intention of getting on good terms with them because of such a small matter.

Not to mention the Mrs. Zhang, even Zhang Yunhui knew clearly that this was the reason why the Nanny Cui came to find Qin Wuya today.

"Wu Ya, this mama came here to ask you a question. Are you willing to give the three jars of purple fruit sauce to Zhang Mansion?"

Qin Wuya was naturally unwilling in her heart, she was just a normal commoner. Although she lacked food and money, but to make her go to Zhang Mansion to get a bit of silver, she really couldn't bear it.

Previously, Qin Wuya even thought of letting the three jars of fruit paste in her hands rot, and didn't want to suffer another grievance.

However, looking at the desire and helplessness in Nanny Cui's eyes, Qin Wuya thought that she would have to do business once again this time.

However, no matter what business they were in, the decision on who was in the leading position was not something that the Zhang Family could decide.

"Grandma, if only you had come two days earlier." Qin Wuya said with a slight frown.

Although Qin Wuya felt that she owed Cui mama, and did not want to make things difficult for him, this did not mean that Zhang Mansion could just wave him around for free and leave him be.

He couldn't just continue to humiliate himself and pretend nothing had happened.

"Why?" Nanny Cui was shocked when she heard this.

"I've been meaning to tell you that Wu Ya happened to have ordered the three jars of fruit paste yesterday from the restaurant manager and Wu Ya. Wu Ya was just thinking about sending them to him tomorrow.

In Wu Ya's room, there were only three jars of jam, not even one more. Now that the Zhang Family wants me to take it out, how can I take it out? "

"This... What should I do? "

Nanny Cui's face was slightly pale, and the wrist holding the teacup could not help but tremble:

"Girl, perhaps I should go to the restaurant owner and tell him that the Ricard Street wants these three jars of fruit paste as well. Can he give me some face?"

"Grandma, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate." Qin Wuya said in a difficult manner:

"Momo, Wuya wants to help you, but it's really hard for me, Wuya." If today's incident made the shopkeeper think that Wu Ya was doing this for the sake of getting to the Zhang Family, he would be disrespectful.

They even spread the word that I, Qin Wuya, am dishonest when it comes to doing business for the sake of a moment of benefits, and flatter others. How will Wu Ya be able to stay in the Clear Water Town in the future? "

"Hai."

Nanny Cui sighed when she heard this:

"The girl said that. She is truly not loyal. "Little girl, don't make it too hard on yourself. This mama will go back and talk to the missus right now, and if I take it out, the mama will understand that the missus won't make it too hard on me."

How could he not be troubled? Looking at Nanny Cui's expression, Qin Wuya understood that Mrs. Zhang and Big Miss Zhang had probably said something unpleasant to Nanny Cui. If Nanny Cui did not take the fruit juice back today, her days in Zhang Mansion would not be good.

But even so, the Nanny Cui did not want to make it difficult for him. This made Qin Wuya feel touched and even had thoughts of helping the Nanny Cui.

Wuya lowered his voice and said in a deep voice:

"Actually, there's still room for discussion about this matter. I have some ties with the owner of that restaurant, so it's not impossible for me to stop them, but it would take some effort to do so."

"Is that true?"

Nanny Cui was overjoyed upon hearing this, just as she was about to get up and pull Wu Ya's wrist, she suddenly stopped.

"Sigh. Forget it, let's just forget about this matter. Girl, don't make things difficult for yourself for this mama. "

"Why don't you tell me about this matter? It's just that, mama, Wuya has something to ask you." Qin Wuya grabbed onto Nanny Cui's hand and asked solemnly.

"Wuya, just speak your mind."

"Grandma, are the ones in charge of the matters in the Zhang Mansion Palace still surnamed Zhang?"

"Of course it's the Steward Zhang. Back then, even though he also received some punishment from First Miss, it wasn't really important, and the household's expenses were still taken care of by him."

"Then the matter with the fruit sauce is something that I'll let you handle with full power. I just want you to lead the way and finalize it. After I send the fruit sauce over, are we still going to settle it at the Steward Zhang?"

Qin Wuya had already faintly guessed the answer in her heart, but she still wanted to personally confirm it with Cui mama.
