Bondage

Song Wan lowered her eyes: "Wan'er knows."

Jiang Xingjian felt relieved, he was afraid that Song Wan would leave the mansion alone and hand over all the power to Lin Jiayue.

The matter of being in charge of the household was settled, and only Lin Jiayue was very dissatisfied with the result except Song Wan.

She had a lot of thoughts in her mind, if she helped Song Wan, wouldn't all the credit be credited to Song Wan in the future?

Lin Jiayue loses interest after thinking about it for a while, but fortunately, she also knows that she can't act too hastily, and can only take her time step by step carefully and carefully.

Thinking that she would be promoted from a lowly concubine to a noble concubine in just a few days, Lin Jiayue smiled with joy in her eyes.

"The house is busy, Wan'er will leave first."

After Mrs. Jiang saluted with Jiang's mother, Song Wan withdrew from the Fuhe Hall. Lin Jiayue looked at her back and slightly curled her lips. She was about to catch up but was held back by Jiang Xingjian.

When the two left Fuhetang, Lin Jiayue blinked: "Why are you pulling me?"

"Everything in the mansion has its own rules. You don't need to do anything on weekdays, but the shops outside the mansion need your attention."

Jiang Xingjian held Lin Jiayue back, with a serious expression on his face: "The principal bestowed by Concubine Jiang must be guaranteed to be earned without loss. Do you know the importance of it?"

"Don't worry, why don't I know?"

Lin Jiayue raised her eyebrows and smiled, holding Jiang Xingjian's arm confidently: "I've already decided what to do."

"Do you know who in this world earns the best money?"

"It's women and children, so I want to open a rouge shop, which has all kinds of women's clothing and jewelry. By then, the money will flow in like water."

Jiang Xingjian was a little relieved when he heard the words: "You just know what you have in mind. If you need me, I will send you one or two stewards from the house secretary."

"Alright."

Although she also wanted to have the right to speak in the Hou's mansion, Concubine Jiang's errands were much more important than the Hou's mansion, so Lin Jiayue devoted all her energy to earning a living outside the mansion.

Song Wan is happy that she is not hanging around in front of him, and still handles various affairs in the mansion as before.

"Miss……"

Zhao mama just came back from the outer courtyard, she went to see Zhuangtou's daughter-in-law Song Wan married Zhuangzi today.

Although a woman is married, there are always some dowry needs to be taken care of, such as the farm shop, so there are some stewards and mother-in-law who are walking outside to do these things.

"Mammy is back?"

Zhao Momo should be, leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Miss, the one in Xiuyan Pavilion bought the shop that you put under the name of the young master a few days ago."

"How much silver?"

Zhao Nanny said: "Twelve thousand taels of silver."

"I don't know what's 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. Originally, I could buy a good one for 5000 taels, but now I can't even enter the main street."

"Is there anyone else collecting the pavements?"

"Well, I didn't find out who it was, I only know that the owner's surname is Xiao."

Song Wan frowned slightly, and didn't think for a moment that there was a family in Shangjing whose surname was Xiao.

Let it go without thinking, she took the box handed over by Mother Zhao, and flipped through the banknotes inside.In addition to the more than 1 taels for selling the shop, and the prospects of the village, the total sum of zero and zero is only more than 3000.

"Didn't you say that the money should be sent to brother?"

"The young master said, let Miss keep it for herself."

"The young master also said..."

Zhao Nanny paused for a moment: "Young Master tells Miss not to do such things in the future, it will damage your friendship with Young Master."

Song Wan pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.

She took out her dowry list, and nodded slightly on the three newly purchased shops a few days ago: "Which one did you sell?"

"The one in the south of the city."

"But how can it rise so much in half a month?"

Her shop only cost more than 4000 taels, and it tripled in ten days, which is really weird.

Zhao Nanny said: "I heard from Mrs. Lang that the shopkeeper surnamed Xiao made a fuss on the second day that the lady closed the shop, and asked for a high price to buy the shop in Beijing. The one in your dowry has now risen to 7000 taels. I don't know whose family actually helped the young lady by mistake."

"Originally, the young lady closed the store in silence, and some people speculated that the price of the store would increase. This uncle surnamed Xiao clamored loudly for a high price, and those who had the store in their hands dared not leave, for fear of any new trends from the officials. "

"Now there are rumors in the capital that the price of the shop will rise sharply in the future. If the young master doesn't see the price increase, I'm afraid the Hou Mansion won't be able to sell it, so he won't sell it."

Song Wan couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "Brother loves me dearly."

Zhao Nanny sighed: "The eldest young master got so angry when he heard that Aunt Lin wanted to buy a shop for business..."

Seeing the chaos in the Hou Mansion, Zhao Mama was also furious. If Jiang Xingjian hadn't been too bullying, she wouldn't have let the young lady take such a risky move.

"If people know that this shop is from the young lady, I'm afraid there will be some other disturbances."

"will not."

She believes in her brother.

In just half a month, she earned 8000 taels of silver, Song Wan was really in a good mood, she collected the bank notes and said: "Send these silver to brother, and tell him that I still have something to trouble him."

"Besides, apart from the dowry shop that was originally given by the mansion, all the other ones that were collected are sold out while the prices are high now."

"Miss, don't wait for the store to go up again?"

Song Wan held the pen and thought for a while, then shook her head: "If you really want to close the shop, you won't make such a loud noise, but this person seems to be helping me on purpose."

"It's not safe, and I can't afford to take care of so many shops, so I might as well sell them early."

After thinking about it for a while, Mammy Zhao felt that what her young lady said was reasonable, she nodded, packed all the paperwork and walked out carrying the box.

Hengzhi rubbed ink beside her, and calculated in a low voice: "Concubine Jiang gave Aunt Lin 5000 taels of silver, and the amount of silver that the Hou Mansion can use is only [-] to [-] taels, how could the uncle agree to give so much money to Aunt Lin? Buying a shop? It costs so much for just one shop, can this business still be open?"

Song Wan said: "If you don't buy this shop, you have to buy it. Whether Lin Jiayue's business will be able to 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 fine if Lin Jiayue can earn money, but if she can't, this is Lin Jiayue's life money."

Hearing this, Heng Zhi felt suffocated.

Her lady tried her best to help the Hou's mansion save the 50 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 can this make people angry?

"Miss……"

"Ok?"

Song Wan looked up, only to see Heng Zhi's eyes sparkling: "Aunt Lin is going to want to run a rouge shop, right? Ms. Ruo Ruo also opened a rouge shop, so she can't do it in Shangjing. She dares to boast about everything, and she wants to Let her taste the bitter fruit of talking too much."

Song Wan smiled when she heard the words: "Silly Heng Zhi, why bother?"
