A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Su Yan said: "Miss Shen, there is no need to be so polite. Although Miss Shen is a woman, she is a person of both virtue and talent. Su really admires her."

Su Yan's mother smiled and said, "Miss Yingzi is a good person, and the people around her are all good children."

Shen Qingqian felt that she was the one who admired them! This mother and son were both very good at talking. With such high emotional intelligence, it was no wonder that they were promoted and made a fortune!

Unlike the boredom when traveling with Chen Shijun, Shen Qingqian felt that traveling with Su Yan's family was much more comfortable!

Along the way, Yingzi and Su Tong were constantly talking and laughing. Shen Qingqian and Su Yan were also having a great time.

Perhaps because of preconceived notions, Su Yan had a very good impression of Shen Qingqian and talked more.

Shen Qingqian learned from Su Yan that the person who was originally going to the capital to take up the post was the county magistrate, Lord Yao.

However, Lord Yao had made many mistakes in the past six months. First, he did nothing during the snowstorm, and then he let the imperial envoy who went to provide disaster relief be bullied by the local tyrants!

With a man like County Magistrate Yao, who would dare to promote him?

However, the vacant position in the capital had been vacated, so Su Yan became the person who went to Beijing to take up the position.

In fact, the reason why Su Yan was able to replace County Magistrate Yao was due to Chen Shijun's contribution.

Chen Shijun already had a bad impression of County Magistrate Yao, whose daughter had kidnapped Shen Qinglan's child. Chen Shijun already felt guilty towards Yingzi, who was also related to the Shen sisters. So, Chen Shijun mentioned this to the relevant officials, intentionally or unintentionally.

Secondly, it was also related to Master Zhou. How did County Magistrate Yao and Su Yan act during the snowstorm? How could Master Zhou not know!

Master Zhou had a good impression of Su Yan, and the Minister of Personnel was once his student. He only mentioned it casually, and County Magistrate Yao was in trouble, and Su Yan became the ultimate beneficiary.

However, we cannot underestimate County Magistrate Yao. After so many things happened, he just failed to get promoted. But he is still holding the position of county magistrate firmly, which shows that he has someone above him.

The group arrived at Huanggang Town at sunset. They had dinner together in a harmonious atmosphere.

Zhiqing and Zhizhu are people who have undergone rigorous training. Their characteristics are that they have no expression and abide by the rules.

So they were determined not to sit down and eat together at first. It was only after Shen Qingqian's order, and Yingzi and Su Tong's pulling and tugging, that they sat down tremblingly.

After staying in Huanggang Town for one night, they arrived in Beijing at noon the next day.

After entering the city, someone took Su Yan and his family away.

Shen Qingqian and her friends found an inn to stay in. However, they did not stay in the same inn as last time, but changed to a better one.

After lunch, Shen Qingqian took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhiqing and Zhizhu, and instructed: "Find out secretly what positions the three people written on it hold and what kind of people they are."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhiqing and Zhizhu agreed and left.

Shen Qingqian asked them to find out about the three families who wanted to buy coal from her. She was scared by Chu Heng! The deal was not concluded, and Chu Heng turned against her!

So this time, she had to know herself and her opponent. As long as the other party's character was not too bad, this deal could be done. But if she ran into someone like Chu Heng again, she would rather not make this money!

However, it turns out that not everyone is like Chu Heng!

Zhiqing and Zhizhu soon found out that among the three families, two were fourth-rank officials and the other was a third-rank official. Moreover, none of the three families had a bad reputation.

After finding out the other party's situation, Shen Qingqian went to each of the families' homes that afternoon and negotiated the matter with them.

In fact, for a wealthy family, this is just a trivial matter. There is no need for the owner to come forward, and the matter can be settled directly with the housekeeper.

While Shen Qingqian breathed a sigh of relief, she also wondered if she was being too paranoid!

In short, she completed what she needed to do smoothly and quickly, and she was in a good mood.

Shen Qingqian decided to visit Zhou Susu at Yang Mansion tomorrow and then go home!

After thinking about it, I felt that since I was in Beijing, I should go and meet Zhao Yichen.

So he decided to stay for another day, go to Yang's house tomorrow morning, visit Zhao Yichen in the afternoon, and go home the day after tomorrow.

The next morning, Shen Qingqian prepared generous gifts and took the three girls to Yang's Mansion.

Zhou Susu was obviously very happy to see her and was still as enthusiastic as ever.

However, Shen Qingqian felt that Zhou Susu seemed much more haggard.

"Sister Susu, I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to have lost a lot of weight."

Zhou Susu personally poured a cup of tea for Shen Qingqian and said awkwardly, "Did you see that? Is it so obvious?"

"Well, Sister Susu, are you worried about something?"

Zhou Susu gave a bitter smile and said, "Qingqian, it's okay to tell you. My master just took in a concubine."

"what?"

Shen Qingqian was so surprised that she almost stood up, because the last time she came to Yang's house, she could see that Yang Zhi and Zhou Susu had a very good relationship, and Yang Zhi did not look like a lustful person.

But it's only been a few days, how come he suddenly took a concubine?

She held Zhou Susu's hand and asked, "Is this General Yang's own idea or...?"

Zhou Susu shook her head. "What does it matter whose opinion it is? There are three unfilial acts, and the worst is to have no offspring. What can I do if my husband doesn't want to? As long as I don't have a son, it's only a matter of time before I take a concubine.

But, seeing that my beloved has someone else in the room, I feel sad! "

Shen Qingqian was also feeling a little sad. At the last birthday party, she had helped Zhou Susu come up with so many new things just to please her mother-in-law and show her filial piety, but what was the use?

Shen Qingqian couldn't accept this in her heart, so she didn't know how to comfort Zhou Susu. She just felt that women in this era were too humble!

Then Zhou Susu said again: "Qingqian, I know you are different from most women, so I tell you these things. If I say these things in front of other people, I will be jealous and will not be a qualified mistress!"

After coming out of Yang's house, Shen Qingqian felt depressed.

Master Zhou had such a high status and Zhou Susu was so virtuous, but they still couldn't escape the fate of sharing a husband with other women!

When Shen Qingqian first came here, she was thinking about finding a beautiful man from ancient times to fall in love with, a handsome guy like Zhao Yichen!

But now, she hesitated!

In this era, if a relationship fails, your reputation will be ruined; if it succeeds and you end up getting married, the man may not necessarily be alone. It’s scary just thinking about it!

Thinking of this, Shen Qingqian became a little hesitant. Should she go to find Zhao Yichen in the afternoon?
