Song Wan lowered his eyes: "Wan'er knows."
Jiang Xingjian felt relieved, she was really afraid that Song Wan would really leave the house alone and give all the power to Lin Jiayue.
The matter of being the head of the family was settled, and apart from Song Wan, only Lin Jiayue was very dissatisfied with the result.
She had many thoughts in her mind. If she helped Song Wan, wouldn't all the credit go to Song Wan in the future?
After thinking about Lin Jiayue for a moment, she lost interest, but fortunately, she also knew that she couldn't rush things, so she could only take her time and plan carefully step by step.
Thinking that she would be promoted from a humble concubine to a noble concubine in just a few days, Lin Jiayue curled her lips and smiled, her eyes full of joy.
"We are busy with things in the house, so Wan'er will leave first."
After Mrs. Tongjiang saluted Jiang's mother, Song Wan exited Fuhe Hall. Lin Jiayue looked at her back and slightly raised her lips. She was about to catch up but was grabbed by Jiang Xingjian.
When the two left Fuhe Hall, Lin Jiayue blinked: "Why are you holding me?"
"Everything in the mansion has its own rules. You don't need to do anything on weekdays, but the shops outside the mansion require your attention."
Jiang Xingjian pulled Lin Jiayue with a solemn expression: "The principal given by Concubine Jiang must be guaranteed to be profitable. Do you know the importance of it?"
"Don't worry, how could I not know?"
Lin Jiayue raised her eyebrows and smiled, holding Jiang Xingjian's arm with confidence: "I have already decided what to do."
"Do you know who makes the most money in this world?"
"They are women and children, so I want to open a rouge shop, where women's clothing and jewelry are all available. When the time comes, the money will definitely flow in like water."
Jiang Xingjian was slightly relieved after hearing this: "You only need to know what you are doing. If you need it, I will allocate one or two managers from the palace to you."
"That's fine."
Although she also wanted to have the say in the Hou's Mansion, Concubine Jiang's errands were much more important than those in the Hou's Mansion, so Lin Jiayue devoted all her energy to making a living outside the mansion.
Song Wan was happy that she no longer hung around in front of him and was still handling various affairs in the mansion as before.
"Miss……"
Aunt Zhao just came back from the outer courtyard. Today she went to see Song Wan's wife Zhuangtou who was marrying Zhuangzi.
Although a woman is married, she still has some farms, shops, and other dowries to take care of, so there are stewards and mothers-in-law who are out and about doing this.
"Mommy is back?"
In response, Aunt Zhao stepped forward and whispered: "Miss, Xiuyan Pavilion bought the shop that you put under the young master's name a few days ago."
"How much silver?"
Aunt Zhao said: "Twelve thousand taels of silver."
"I don't know what happened to Shangjing recently. Ever since the young lady asked the young master to buy the shop, the shops in Shangjing have suddenly become in short supply. I used to be able to buy a good one for five thousand taels, but now I can't even enter the main street."
"Is there anyone else closing the shop?"
"Well, I didn't find out who it was. I only know that the owner behind him is named Xiao."
Song Wan frowned slightly, and for a moment he didn't expect that there was a family named Xiao in Beijing.
Just as she didn't expect it, she took the box handed over by Aunt Zhao and casually looked through the banknotes inside. In addition to the more than 10,000 taels from selling the shop, and the profit from the banker, the total of the zero and zero sums together is only more than 13,000 taels.
"Didn't you say that you should send this money to my brother?"
"The eldest young master said, let the young lady keep it by yourself."
"The eldest young master also said..."
Aunt Zhao paused for a moment: "Young Master, please ask Miss not to do such things in the future, as it will damage your relationship with my uncle."
Song Wan pursed his lips and smiled, but said nothing.
She took out her dowry list and nodded slightly at the three newly purchased shops a few days ago: "Which one was sold?"
"The one in the south of the city."
"How could it have risen so much in just half a month?"
Her shop only cost more than a thousand taels, but it tripled in ten days. It was really weird.
Aunt Zhao said: "I heard from Granny Lang that the shopkeeper surnamed Xiao, on the second day when the lady closed the shop, let out rumors and wanted to sell the shop in Beijing at a high price. The price of the shop in your hand has now increased to six or seven thousand taels." , I don’t know whose family actually helped the young lady by accident.”
"Originally, when the lady closed the shop silently, some people speculated that the price of the shop would go up. The old man surnamed Xiao kept clamoring for a high price, and those who had shop in hand did not dare to go out, for fear of any new developments from the government. "
"There are rumors circulating in Kyoto that the price of the store will rise sharply in the future. If the young master hadn't seen that the price would continue to rise, he would not have sold it because he was afraid that the Marquis's mansion would not be able to afford it."
Song Wan couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Brother, I feel sorry for me."
Aunt Zhao sighed: "When the young master heard that Aunt Lin wanted to buy a shop for business, he got very angry..."
Aunt Zhao was furious when she saw the chaos in the Hou Mansion. If Jiang Xingjian hadn't been such a bully, she wouldn't have let the young lady take such a desperate move.
"If people know that this shop was owned by a young lady, I'm afraid there will be some other troubles."
"Won't."
She believed in her brother.
She earned eight thousand taels of silver in just half a month. Song Wan was in a really good mood. She collected the banknotes and said, "Send these silvers to brother and tell him that I still have something to trouble him."
"In addition, in addition to the dowry shop originally provided by the government, all the rest collected will be sold at the current high price."
"Miss, don't you wait for the price of that store to increase again?"
Song Wan held the pen and thought for a moment before shaking his head: "If you really want to close the shop, you won't make such a big fuss. It seems like this person is helping me on purpose."
"It's not safe, and I can't afford to take care of so many shops. It's better to sell it as soon as possible."
Aunt Zhao thought for a moment and realized that what she said was reasonable. She nodded, packed all the documents in order, and walked out with the box in her arms.
Heng Zhi was grinding ink aside and thinking in a low voice: "Concubine Jiang gave Aunt Lin five thousand taels of silver, and the money that the Hou Mansion could use was only thirty to twenty thousand. How could the uncle agree to give Lin so much money?" Auntie is buying a shop? You have spent so much on just one shop, can this business still be open?"
Song Wan said: "If you don't want to buy this shop, you have to buy it. Whether Lin Jiayue's business can make as much money as she said in the future is still unknown, but the value of the shop will not change. Jiang Xingjian bought this The shop must be given to Concubine Jiang in the future."
"It's okay if Lin Jiayue can make money, but if she can't, this is Lin Jiayue's life money."
When Hengzhi heard this, she felt like she was holding back her anger.
Her young lady tried her best to help the Hou Mansion save the thirty-fifty taels of broken silver, but Jiang Xingjian spent a lot of money to pave the way for Lin Jiayue to clean up the mess. How could this make people angry?
"Miss……"
"Um?"
Song Wan looked up and saw Heng Zhi's sparkling eyes: "Aunt Lin wants to open a rouge shop, right? If Miss Ruo also opens a rouge shop, she will not be able to do it in Shangjing. She dares to boast about everything in Haikou, but she also wants to Let her taste the bitter pill of overtalking.”
Song Wan smiled when he heard this: "Silly Hengzhi, why do you need to go to such trouble?"
