Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

What happened when Lin Zhuoyin paid his respects spread quickly, and even Cao Qinmo, who had no one to find out the news, heard it.

Cao Qinmo was making a necklace non-stop. Cao Qinmo's family had no spare money, so she and her mother had to make clothes for all four seasons themselves. Her mother had to work harder, and her father couldn't wear the same clothes over and over again when he was out and about, so Cao Qinmo didn't have much time to make a necklace. Now that she's married, she has some leisure time.

Yinxiu looked at Cao Qinmo anxiously, "Princess, please say something."

Cao Qinmo slowly strung the beads on the tassel in her hand. The red of the crabapple was too bright, while the bamboo green was just right. Thinking of this, Cao Qinmo held the beads up to the sunlight to admire them. Sure enough, the slightly deep green color looked very noble under the sunlight. Cao Qinmo strung the beads with satisfaction and finished the tassel.

"Look, how are my ears of corn?" This bunch of ears of corn was Cao Qinmo's first attempt. Although it was simple, it took a lot of thought. I don't know how many times he went over it before completing it.

Yinxiu exhaled, and followed Cao Qinmo's meaning and commented, "Princess is extremely talented. This ear of corn doesn't look like it was made by a beginner."

Cao Qinmo received the compliment but put the tassel down nonchalantly, "No matter how beautiful this tassel is, it is far less valuable than gold, silver and jewelry in the eyes of the world, but this is the only thing I can show off."

In the backyard, you have your birthday today and she has a wedding tomorrow, you can't not reciprocate, but how much dowry did Cao Qinmo bring into the house?

Yinxiu was in charge of Cao Qinmo's account book, so she knew that the money in the account was tight, and she said with some worry:

"I originally thought that the silver we brought into the mansion would be enough to last for some time, but I didn't expect that in just one day, the silver would be thrown away in large amounts. The key point is that after spending the silver, people still think we are poor." Thinking of Huang Guiquan's hidden disdain yesterday, Yinxiu felt aggrieved.

What kind of storms and waves have the servants who can work in the palace not seen?

Although Housekeeper Yixiu had many rules, the salary that should be paid was not reduced in any way. Later, when Nian Shilan came into the mansion, she was given a lot of money, and she could spend it as she pleased. The old staff in the mansion basically received subsidies from their mother's families, so they had no worries about expenses.

Only Cao Qinmo and Lin Zhuoyin, who had just arrived in the mansion, felt very embarrassed. However, Lin Zhuoyin was favored by the Fourth Prince, and the Fourth Prince would probably secretly subsidize her, so Cao Qinmo would be left alone and helpless.

But Cao Qinmo had no way of replicating Lin Zhuoyin's style. When she was in the Cao family, she was the most outstanding among the sisters, and when she dressed up, she looked like a beautiful lady. But when she came to the palace, a place where flowers bloomed in full bloom, she was compared to a little wild flower on the roadside, and no one cared about her at all.

Therefore, if you want to survive, you have to find a backer for yourself. Cao Qinmo pondered and asked Yinxiu, "Today, was it really Fei Gege's rude words that caused Nian Ce Fu Jin to be defeated by Fu Jin?"

Yinxiu nodded affirmatively, "Someone saw that as soon as Concubine Nian and Feigege walked out of Xili Courtyard, Concubine Nian couldn't help but hit Feigege's hair, messing up her bun. But Feigege lived in the same courtyard with Concubine Nian, and she didn't dare to pass by Concubine Nian, so she could only return to Lanyun Villa in such an embarrassing manner."

Cao Qinmo frowned. This Nian Shilan was even more arrogant than what she had heard at home. But this might be an opportunity for her. Fei Yunyan was useless, so Nian Shilan would need a lackey to give her advice!

Take today's incident for example. If I had made the same mistake as Fei Yunyan, I would never wait for Nian Shilan's help. I would have confessed my guilt directly and cleanly. Even if the prince's concubine was punished, she would not suffer physical pain. Instead, I would have taken the opportunity to resolve Nian Shilan's crisis and establish her image of fairness and selflessness.

Yinxiu didn't know what Cao Qinmo was thinking, and said with some fear, "Concubine Nian is really overbearing. Even someone like Feigege who has a good reputation in front of the prince is bullied as she pleases. Fortunately, Concubine Nian didn't punish Lily today, otherwise, maybe one day, I would be beaten to death for no reason."

Cao Qinmo proposed another idea, "As long as we are Nian Concubine's own people, you don't have to worry."

Yinxiu was a little surprised and said hesitantly, "But Concubine Nian treats Feigege like that..." People like them who have no status and are just trying to get ahead of others, won't they be able to win Nian Shilan's favor, right?

Cao Qinmo replied, "Fei Gege was reprimanded by Concubine Nian because she ruined Concubine Nian's big plan. Besides, only if Fei Gege is stupid can my importance be highlighted." Otherwise, why would Nian Shilan adopt Cao Qinmo's idea?

Yinxiu saw that Cao Qinmo had made up his mind and could not refute anything. "We went to visit Lanyun Villa, but Miss Songzhi asked us to leave directly. She said that we can talk about it after the master sleeps with her and can leave with a clear conscience."

Cao Qinmo touched her cheek bitterly, waiting for herself to sleep with the prince. With his old love Nian Shilan and new love Lin Zhuoyin around, without anyone to introduce him, how could the prince think of her?

Huanque, who had been freed little by little, disappeared completely. Even though Cao Qinmo was very smart, he felt he had no idea where to start. He took a deep breath and told Yinxiu, "Yinxiu, go and count the money we have on hand again."

Yinxiu followed the order. In fact, she could remember clearly without counting. "Master, the master gave me 500 taels from his private collection, 500 taels from the treasure box in the mansion, 500 taels from the Nian Mansion, and some miscellaneous silver, about 100 taels, but I almost used half of it to reward people yesterday."

Almost fifty taels were spent in one day. Even if it was because he had just entered the mansion and needed to build connections, it was still too much. You have to know that Cao Qinmo's father's monthly salary was only thirty taels. It's not an exaggeration to say that he spent money like water, but for Cao Qinmo who had no connections, no backing, and no foundation, he had to spend money.

Moreover, Cao Qinmo knew that even if she slept with the Fourth Prince, she would not necessarily receive a subsidy from the Fourth Prince. This 1,500 taels of silver was all the money she could use to live in the future. One or two years might be enough, but in ten or eight years, she might not even be able to live in her mother's family.

Cao Qinmo was even more anxious to establish a relationship with Nian Shilan. "What do you think Concubine Nian needs now?"

Yinxiu counted on her fingers, "Nian Concubine is favored and powerful, her family is well-respected and has no shortage of money. If there is any regret, it is only the child she lost in a miscarriage a few years ago. I heard it was a six-month-old boy!"

Child? Cao Qinmo touched her belly, and an idea came to her mind, but she still needed to find out what Nian Shilan meant.
