I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With - Chapter 1001

Chapter 1001: Revenge (3) Chapter 1001: Revenge (3) Editor: Atlas Studios Fan Zijin ruffled Little An’s hair as he slept soundly.

He stared blankly at the bruise on his cheek for a while.

It was obviously a mark left behind by a punch, but fortunately it did not land on his face.

Otherwise, it would perhaps hurt his bones.

Little Madam Xia sat at the side and wiped her tears.

“Those foreigners are too much.

Master, are we just going to let it go?” “Didn’t you hear the kids say that the two Westerner children were more seriously injured than them?

It’s inevitable for us adults to appear aggressive when we go to settle scores with the two injured children.” A cold glint flashed across Fan Zijin’s eyes.

“However, I’m more than happy to deal with the adults in their family.” Little Madam Xia’s eyes lit up.

That’s right, those Westerners were asking her husband for help now.

A cold glint flickered in Fan Zijin’s eyes.

He had already thought of how to deal with those Westerners.

In his opinion, if those Westerners had not used Joao and Jose to befriend the four children for benefits, this dispute would not have happened.

Therefore, the Portuguese envoy suffered the wrath of his fury.

Fan Zijin stood up and said, “I’m going to the government office today and I’ll probably be back very late.

Bring the two children next door and ask Ah Ling to take them along.

I heard that she’s going out today.” Little Madam Xia hurriedly nodded and sent Fan Zijin out.

“Be careful on the way.” After he went far away, Little Madam Xia walked back and asked Nanny Xia in confusion, “Why is Ah Ling going out at this time?” Smiling, Nanny Xia replied, “I heard that Her Highness invited the foreigners to discuss matters at Hopeful Restaurant.” Little Madam Xia was a little worried.

“I hope Ah Ling isn’t looking to avenge the children.

It won’t be good if things get out of hand.” Nanny Xia smiled and said, “Madam, don’t worry.

Her Highness knows her limits.

It’s about time those Westerners get taught a lesson.

Fancy making use of children to achieve their goals.

They’ve used methods that people disdain to use even in the inner estate.” Little Madam Xia nodded and continued to watch Little An.

At this moment, Little Bear and Little Treasure were also standing in front of their younger brothers’ beds.

After seeing their wretched appearances, Little Bear said in a low voice, “Brother Little Treasure, how about we drag Joao to the alley and beat him up?” “We’ll see.

If Joao is seriously injured, we’ll look for the Portuguese envoy.

If he’s not seriously injured, we’ll beat him up until he looks like Tiger Head.” Little Bear nodded with a cold expression.

How could his brother be so easily bullied?

After Mu Yangling got dressed, she studied the price list that Zhu Liang had sent over.

She put it down and said, “It’s too cheap.

Write a new copy and increase the price of each item by 20%.” Having been helping Mu Yangling handle the affairs in the residence, Spring knew the prices outside.

She was stunned when she heard this.

“Wouldn’t this make the prices even higher than the prices of our goods sold domestically?” “Aren’t the satin, tea leaves, and porcelain sold to foreigners at a higher price than what is sold here domestically?

Right now, only our factory knows how to make such mirrors and clocks.

The domestic demand already exceeds our supply, even if we ignore external sales.

Since I’m willing to sell them, they have to accept my price.” ‘However, you previously said that you wanted to be more friendly to the Westerners and set a price that was slightly cheaper than the domestic market.

You said that you wanted to open up the foreign market.’ Spring thought with a sigh as she secretly glanced at the Princess Consort.

As expected, the Princess Consort was fuming over the young masters being bullied.

One had to know that the Princess Consort usually handed these businesses to Zhu Liang and rarely appeared personally.

The foreigners also heard about this information and were very happy.

The Princess Consort rarely came out to discuss business in person, but this time, she invited them to the Hopeful Restaurant to discuss it personally.

They interpreted this as the Princess Consort valuing them very much, completely different from how the Han officials treated them.

The Westerners also put on their best clothes and arrived at Hopeful Restaurant before the agreed upon time.

At the same time, Mu Yangling set off with high fighting spirit.

The factory’s steward, Zhu Liang, and Xiao Ting, Mu Yangling’s manservant, followed along.

Zhu Liang felt that letting the Princess Consort sit at the same table as a group of Westerners was simply an insult to her, and it was also inappropriate.

Hence, he had informed the shopkeeper of the restaurant yesterday and asked him to empty the private room.

He directly arranged the seats and arranged the seats in a way that conformed to etiquette.

Later on, it occurred to him that Westerners weren’t used to sitting cross-legged, so he changed the low tables to high tables and the mats to high chairs.

Everyone still had a seat and sat opposite each other.

Naturally, the seat in the front was for the noble Princess Consort.

The private room was large.

The screen, soft couch, round tables, zither, chess, and other items that had been there previously had all been removed.

With just the ten seats placed opposite, the room appeared somewhat empty.

Thus, the shopkeeper asked Zhu Liang softly, “Steward Zhu, why don’t I help you call some performers over?

It’s good to let them play some music through the screen.” Zhu Liang glared at him and said, “There’s no need.

This is good.

Otherwise, if we scare off the Westerners, who will our Princess Consort discuss business with?” Zhu Liang had his reasons for saying this.

It was said that back then, a group of Westerners disembarked and brought a lot of gems and spices.

The local merchants held a banquet, firstly to do their duty as the host, and secondly, to discuss business.

The banquet was not grand.

They only invited some performers to sing and dance, and everyone sat separately.

Even the delicacies were only slightly better than the usual family banquet.

However, the Westerners were very grateful, calling it equivalent to a state banquet.

They praised the merchants affectionately, making them extremely embarrassed.

They were only merchants and could not even be considered officials.

How could they dare to hold a “state banquet”?

If they did not know that the Westerners did not know the rules, they would almost think that the Westerners were mocking them.

The shopkeeper also knew that the Young Masters of the Prince’s estate and Duke’s estate were at a disadvantage when they fought with the Westerners.

Therefore, when he heard Zhu Liang mock the Westerners, he smiled before hurriedly proceeding to invite them up.

However, he couldn’t help but find it strange.

The young masters had just been beaten up the day before, so why was the Princess Consort inviting the Westerners to a banquet today?

Guangzhou City was small.

Although it had become much more prosperous in the past two years, news of any commotion would still spread throughout Guangzhou City in mere moments.

Therefore, the news of the fight between the young masters of the Prince’s estate and the Westerner youths in the Chamber of Commerce spread throughout Guangzhou even before Tiger Head and the others returned home.

This was also the reason why the doctor who treated Joao could not help but torture him a little.

Those few young masters were so cute, smart, and loving.

When they encountered him on the way, the kids would even run up to help him carry the heavy first-aid kit.

The shopkeeper was also very fond of the young masters of the Prince’s estate and Duke’s estate.

Where else could one find such cute aristocratic children?

They didn’t chase chickens and dogs, didn’t bully good people, and didn’t make things difficult for merchants.

Even if they dragged a bucket of seafood to sell from time to time, they would let the customers choose.

Sometimes, when they were feeling generous, they would even wave their hand and hold a ‘buy one get one free’ promotion.

Such good kids were actually beaten up by the Westerners.

If not for the fact that he was afraid of ruining his restaurant’s reputation, he really wanted to add another spoonful of salt to the food served to the Westerners.

The moment Mu Yangling entered the private room and saw the layout, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the shopkeeper approvingly before sitting down at the frontmost seat.

After the invited businessmen from various countries greeted Mu Yangling, they sat down one after another.

Ignoring the delicacies on the table, they only looked at her with bright eyes.

Not beating around the bush, Mu Yangling clapped her hands and asked someone to send the items over.

“I invited everyone here to discuss business.”
