eared in her line of sight. Fang Jinshu was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately by pushing the person away."You, who are you" she said, her voice laced with frustration.But her body was wea...Okay, Fang Jinxiu just loves to hear people say that.

Three thousand two.

Fu Ming almost slipped off the stone he was sitting on, his face full of astonishment.

How much

Fāng Jǐnxiù felt a little embarrassed inside, but her face remained unchanged.

"Three thousand taels."

She stared at Fu Ming's wide eyes and pretended to hesitate, "If Young Master Fu doesn't have so much silver, then perhaps we should just forget it."

Before the word "later" could even be uttered, Fu Ming raised his hand to cut her off.

Even Shen Li, who was usually so dutiful and never dared to interfere in matters concerning his master, changed expression. He wanted to step forward and remind the young master that buying a recipe for a snack for three thousand taels was something only a fool would do.

Fu Ming didn't give him a chance to speak, he just hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"Alright, three thousand taels."

Fang Jinshu was quite taken aback at this moment.

"Young Master Fu, are you truly decided Three thousand taels is no small sum."

The key is, does he really have that much silver

Fu Ming raised his chin, "This young master always keeps his word. I believe in Miss Zong's skills, this deal will definitely be very profitable."

Fang Jinshi smiled awkwardly.

The recipe for Rou Jia Mo was sold to Fu Ming in this way. After signing the contract, Fu Ming took out a gold coin the size of a palm from his bosom.

I don't have that many silver bills on me, just one piece of gold, which is worth three thousand taels of silver.

Fang Jinshu weighed the gold in her hand. It was heavy, more than three thousand taels.

Shen Li's face darkened. He never expected Fang Jinxiu to be such a person. Their young master treated her sincerely, but she was so greedy, cheating him out of so much money with just a recipe for snacks.

He dared to be angry but not to speak.

When Shen Li saw the young master had given her his only valuable gold piece, she couldn't help but speak up.

"Young Master, that's all the money we have left."

Even if they traveled from Muzhou, the journey back to the capital was over a thousand miles long. How could the young master give her all his funds

"Madam Zong, this business deal between you and my young master is a bit..."

"Shen Li, shut up!"

Fu Ming immediately rebuked him, not letting Shen Li finish the rest of his words.

At this moment, Fang Jinshu unexpectedly saw a trace of the aura of an overlord on Fu Da Shao's youthful and handsome face. Shen Li fell to his knees with a thud.

"How dare you, when does your master speak, do you, a servant, have the audacity to interject"

"Go outside and kneel in the snow. Don't stand up for less than two hours."

Shen Li clenched his fists, and without a word, accepted the punishment and went to kneel.

Outside, the wind and snow swirled. He didn't even have a thought of cunning or deceit. He knelt in the cold, hard snow, his back straight and unwavering.

He's such an honest person.

Fang Jinxiu retracted her gaze and returned the gold in her hand.

Fu Ming thought she was angry and hurriedly explained, "Madam Zong, you wouldn't go back on your word and not sell me the recipe just because of a servant's rambling words, would you"

Fang Jinxiu shook her head, "We all signed the contract. It's too late to regret it now."

Hearing this, Fu Ming quickly tucked his copy of the contract and recipe into his bosom, then raised his head and grinned at her.

What does Lady Na mean by this

Fang Jinshi said calmly, "There's no need to rush about the silver. Three thousand taels is three thousand taels. The value of this gold far exceeds three thousand white silver."

“Still, we waited until we reached Muhzhou. Then, Master Fu exchanged the gold for silver notes and paid my fee.”

She certainly didn't want to be held a grudge against just because she had done business with Fu Ming.

Fu Ming readily agreed, thinking to himself that Zong's daughter was quite a rule-follower when it came to business. If only she could go back to the capital with him! Not only could he help his mother get treatment, but perhaps they could even partner up in business together.

"Young Master Fu, the carriage driver we hired was sent back because of you. If Shen Li catches a cold, who will drive for us on the rest of the journey"y. She wants to entrust the manor to Zong Hu and his wife, and naturally some things need to be explained clearly.For three years that Lao San occupied the manor, even Zong Hu's elder brother and his...
