Chapter 433: Fortune Crystal Colored Glass Ball
Ruo Xiaolian no longer cared about anything and became a hands-off boss. He rented a yard in Anzhou and lived a life of drunkenness and debauchery all day long.
He approached Jiaojiao several times, but was ruthlessly rejected by her.
"If I am a filial and honest person, you can divorce me or even get a divorce, as long as you don't come to see me again!" Jiaojiao was firm.
Mrs. Lin couldn't stand it anymore and advised, "Jiao, you still need a man. Although you have no worries about food and clothing, you are still lonely without a man. Besides, An An has no father. What will you say when he asks about it when he grows up?"
Jiaojiao said bluntly: "Aunt Lin, I know you are doing this for my own good. Ruo Xiaolian is a good person, but he is cowardly and has no ideas. He is the son of the Ruo family and can never get away from the Ruo family. And I can never go back to the Ruo family. He can't leave, and I can't go back. How do you think I can live like this?"
Mrs. Lin was speechless.
Yes, she had suffered so many years in the Ji family. Her husband was serving in the army outside and his life or death was uncertain. She was driven out by the Ji family and looked pitiful as an orphan and a widow, but in fact, it was much better than staying in the Ji family.
Ji Xiaobei never tried to persuade Jiaojiao. No matter what she wanted, Ji Xiaobei always supported her.
Jiaojiao goes out every day, drinking tea and chatting with the ladies.
Some ladies who wanted to make clothes simply came to the workshop and asked Haixia Niang to tailor clothes for them.
After Xiaoqi came, Haixia's mother became full of energy again when she saw her lively daughter.
Only by keeping yourself busy can you stop thinking about the Strait.
She wanted to save up a dowry for her daughter and earn more money so that her daughter wouldn't suffer any hardship after she got married.
If Xiaoqi doesn't want to get married, it would be good for her to be like Ji Xiaobei, self-reliant and free.
From then on, Xiao Qi's mother lived for Xiao Qi.
Ji Xiaobei was out every day, going to the textile workshop.
Dongniu has been in a very difficult situation these days. More than ten men came at once, but there is only so much work in the workshop and they are all assigned to their own positions. He really doesn't know what to do with them.
Shugen, Song Laohei and a few other men cleaned the large dye vat that had not been used for many years until it was so dark that you could see a person’s reflection in it.
Dongniu couldn't stop him: That really doesn't need to be brushed!
Men: It’s okay, we have plenty of strength.
When Ji Xiaobei brought up the idea of expansion, Dongniu breathed a sigh of relief, as he could finally assign them some work.
If the boss doesn't come, these men will go crazy.
The men are also very distressed. They can't just eat all day and not work.
"Sister, how can we expand? The houses next door are occupied by people, and they are all ancestral homes. They may not be willing to sell them to us."
Ji Xiaobei waved his hand and said, "As long as the money is in place, we are not afraid that they will not sell it!"
Shitou was trembling in his heart. His sister started to spend money again!
The textile workshop is located in a small alley.
There are three households on each side of the alley, a total of six households.
The first one is on the street, and the textile workshop is the second one on the left.
If you buy the other five houses in the alley, then the alley will be yours.
It can be named Zhengguo Hutong.
She was inspired by her own idea that there really could be such an alley.
She told Jiaojiao about this idea.
Jiaojiao: Sister, you are so bold.
Money is not a problem, it’s just whether the family wants to sell it or not. If it’s their ancestral house, they won’t sell it.
Ji Xiaobei waved his hand and said, "I have a way. Don't you know that Madam Liang? Doesn't Madam Liang know Madam Song? Isn't Madam Song the wife of Lord Song Lu..."
Jiaojiao was confused by her and interrupted her, saying, "What do you want to say? Just tell me what you want me to do."
Ji Xiaobei chuckled and said, "I have already inquired about it. These families are all surnamed Sui. They have a clan elder who used to work under the old governor. Now Song Lu is also the governor. I guess Madam Song and the clan elder are also acquainted.
Let her help talk, and it will definitely be done. I want you to invite Mrs. Song out for tea!"
Jiaojiao blinked her eyes and asked incredulously: "Where did you find out all this?"
Ji Xiaobei: I have been chatting with the old women at the entrance of the alley every day for so many days. I have even consumed five kilograms of melon seeds, but I still cannot get any useful information out of them.
Jiaojiao was also an impatient person. She sent a note to Mrs. Song right away. She even had tea with Mrs. Song the day before, so she didn't need to go through Mrs. Liang at all.
Because of Liang Yuyao's incident, she rarely interacted with Mrs. Liang.
Mrs. Liang is a cruel person and poor, so you can't make any money from her.
The next day, the three met in a private room on the third floor of Taoranju.
This was the first time Ji Xiaobei met Mrs. Song after she gave birth to the child.
Mrs. Song couldn't help but praise: "Miss Ji, you are getting more and more beautiful. What kind of rouge and powder do you use? Look at your rosy face!"
Ji Xiaobei chuckled and thought to himself: I just washed my face when I came out.
It also gives you face.
However, she said, "Mrs. Song, you are really good at talking. I did use some rouge and powder, and I brought it specially for you!"
Jiaojiao was stunned and wanted to cover Ji Xiaobei's mouth: Why are you talking nonsense again, sister?
She didn't bring anything with her when she went out, so where could she get watercolor for Mrs. Song?
Mrs. Song's eyes suddenly lit up.
Ji Xiaobei calmly took out a flat white porcelain box from his sleeve and handed it to Mrs. Song.
"This was given to me by an old friend when I was purchasing goods. I used it for a while and it worked really well, so I specially brought one for Madam Song!"
As he spoke, Ji Xiaobei patted his face.
Jiaojiao widened her eyes: ...
Mrs. Song's face was full of joy and she took it with both hands.
She held it in her hand and looked at it for a long time, but didn't know how to open it. She saw a small protruding button and pressed it gently.
With a snap, the cover on top popped open.
There is actually a small mirror in the lid that flips up.
There is a thin layer of powder underneath, which is not really powder.
Ji Xiaobei explained: "Madam Song, this is wet powder. After you use the ointment, put on a layer of this and your skin will be smooth and delicate!"
Mrs. Song had seen the world after all, and even though she was very happy in her heart, she did not show any excessive expression on her face. She handed it to the maid beside her.
He smiled and asked, "Jiaojiao said you have something to talk to me about. What is it, Miss Ji?"
Ji Xiaobei simply recounted the incident.
Mrs. Song suddenly felt that the wet powder was collected hastily.
Seeing Mrs. Song hesitate, Ji Xiaobei immediately said, "If Mrs. Song is embarrassed, forget it. I will think of other ways."
Mrs. Song is the wife of the governor. It would be too embarrassing if she couldn't even handle such a small matter.
However, whether to sell or not is other people's business, she can only help to mediate.
Ji Xiaobei was very happy to see that she agreed, and he took out a brocade box from his sleeve.
"Mrs. Song, thank you for your help. I asked an old friend to get this lucky crystal glass ball for me. I heard that owning this lucky ball can bless one to have a smooth career and get promoted. I am just a commoner, so it is useless for me to have this. I thought about it and only you, Mrs. Song, can use it!"
