A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

After Shen Qingqian came out of Yang's house, she went straight to the clothing store on the street.

She bought all the men's cotton-padded jackets in the shop and asked the shopkeeper to send someone to deliver them to Yang's house immediately.

Then she went to the next store and bought everything. After visiting six stores in a row, it was already dark and the remaining clothing stores were closed.

Shen Qingqian then gave up and returned to Yang's Mansion.

The two big red lanterns in front of the Yang Mansion were already lit, and the light swayed in the breeze. The illuminated tall gate and the two stone lions in front of it all showed the wealth of the owner's family.

When Shen Qingqian came back, the things she bought had not been delivered yet. It must take some time to load them into the truck.

But Xiang'er was already waiting at the door. When she saw her come back, she greeted her happily.

"Miss Shen, you're back?"

"Well, I'm back! I bought more than 4,000 cotton-padded clothes in total. They should be delivered soon."

Xiang'er said sincerely: "Miss, you are so kind. You really troubled me for our lady."

Shen Qingqian didn't say anything, but just smiled at her. How could she do all this just to help Zhou Susu win a man?

In fact, she just had a sudden idea and wanted to donate a batch of cotton clothes to the soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield!

Shen Qingqian did not seek fame, she just did what she should do. So she spent the money, but the things were bought in Zhou Susu's name.

Shen Qingqian and Xiang'er waited at the door for a quarter of an hour, and carriages from various shops arrived one after another.

Xiang'er went straight to the housekeeper, pointed at the carriages, and said, "Housekeeper Yang, these are the cotton-padded clothes that Madam bought for the soldiers under our general. Go and report this to the general and have him come out to sign for them."

When Butler Yang heard this, he dared not delay any longer and ran in to call for help.

Shen Qingqian didn't let Xiang'er tell Zhou Susu about this before, asking her to keep it secret for the time being.

Now that the things have been delivered, Shen Qingqian said to Xiang'er, "Xiang'er, go back and tell Sister Susu about this. Ask her to acknowledge the credit. Otherwise, it would be a waste of my hard work."

Xiang Er assured: "Don't worry, young lady, Xiang Er will definitely convince Madam."

Not long after Xiang'er left, Yang Zhi came out quickly. Shen Qingqian stepped forward and saluted him.

"Meet General Yang."

Yang Zhi had a deep impression of Shen Qingqian, as she had saved their daughter Lan'er before. However, he was not there at the time and only heard about it from Zhou Susu.

Later, he also helped to connect Shen Qingqian and Chu Heng, but the deal did not go through in the end.

Also, Shen Qingqian helped a lot at Madam Yang's birthday party.

"Miss Shen, there's no need to be so polite. Are you here to visit the Madam?"

Shen Qingqian said: "Yes, I came to visit Sister Susu today. I heard that General Yang was going to lead his troops to the battlefield. Sister Susu said that the north was bitterly cold, and she felt sorry for the general and was also worried about the soldiers under the general who were about to go to the battlefield.

So she asked me to buy some cotton clothes for her and send them to the general, so that I can do my bit for the soldiers who are about to go to the battlefield."

Yang Zhi looked at the long line of carriages and asked, "But what about these on the carriages?"

Shen Qingqian took out a few sheets of paper from his sleeve and handed them to Yang Zhi, saying, "Exactly. There are more than 4,000 items in total. Here is the purchase list for each store."

Yang Zhi took it and said, "Thank you for your help, Miss Shen. I would like to thank you."

Shen Qingqian smiled politely and said, "General Yang, you are too polite. Since the things have been delivered, I will take my leave first.

By the way, I won’t go over to report to Sister Susu, so as not to disturb her rest. Please, General, inform Sister Susu for me.”

Yang Zhi said: "Don't worry, Miss Shen. I will go to see the lady as soon as I finish dealing with things here."

"Thank you, General. Goodbye."

Shen Qingqian nodded slightly and left.

Three days later, in the early morning, when most of the people in the capital were still asleep, Yang Zhi led an army of 50,000 out of the city and headed towards the northern border.

Shen Qingqian has not been idle these days, and has been trying to find out about Zhang Sheng. She also asked Hei Hu to visit Zhang Fuchang's mansion at night, but the news she got was that everything was normal at Zhang's mansion, and nothing special had happened recently.

Since she couldn't find out anything, Shen Qingqian gave up for the time being. She planned to go see Zhou Susu again and then returned to Ping'an Town.

In these few short days, Chen Shijun met with more than a dozen wealthy businessmen one after another, and finally got another 50,000 taels of silver from these profiteers. Adding up with the previous sum, it was 90,000 taels.

Chen Shijun was responsible for raising funds from businessmen, and the emperor also appointed someone to raise funds from officials.

Chen Shijun had already inquired and found out that the officials had already raised 120,000 taels of silver.

Chen Shijun felt that he had to come up with at least 100,000 taels, otherwise he would be embarrassed to report to the emperor.

In desperation, he had to shamelessly look for Shen Qingqian again.

This time, Chen Shijun came personally to the inn where Shen Qingqian was staying. He came to ask for help, so of course he had to have the attitude of asking for help.

But when he saw Shen Qingqian, he still found it difficult to speak and didn't know how to start.

Shen Qingqian saw his embarrassment and said with a smile: "Master Chen, if you have anything to say, please tell me directly. I will definitely help if I can."

Chen Shijun finally mustered up the courage to speak: "I have to hand in my work tomorrow, but I need another 10,000 taels. I wonder if Miss Shen has enough on hand..."

Chen Shijun's face turned red before he finished speaking.

"Okay, I'm willing to help you and donate another 10,000 taels."

Shen Qingqian agreed without hesitation.

Chen Shijun looked at her in a daze, and felt that Shen Qingqian at this moment was a bodhisattva who had descended to earth. Even the fairies in the sky could not compare to her in beauty and kindness.

"Thank you very much! Miss Shen will surely be rewarded for her kindness. If Miss Shen needs me in the future, I will do my best to help you."

Chen Shijun is well-read, but at this moment he doesn't know what words to use to express his gratitude to Shen Qingqian!

Shen Qingqian smiled with a relaxed look and said, "Okay, I accept Mr. Chen's thanks. If I need your help in the future, I will not be polite."

Chen Shijun said solemnly: "Okay, Chen will never break his promise."

When Shen Qingqian was talking to Chen Shijun, Yingzi had been hiding in the room. When Chen Shijun left, she came out of the room and silently watched Chen Shijun's back as he walked away.

The day after Yang Zhi left for the battle, Shen Qingqian and Yingzi went to Yang's house together.

Zhou Susu still came out to greet them in person. However, when they were returning to the courtyard together, they happened to meet Aunt Zhang.

This was the first time Shen Qingqian met Aunt Zhang, who was about eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with pearls and jade all over her head.

As for her appearance, a young woman is naturally pretty. Plus, she dresses well, so she can be considered a beauty.

"I have met my sister."

Aunt Zhang glanced at Shen Qingqian intentionally or unintentionally, then leaned over to greet Zhou Susu.

Zhou Susu frowned slightly, feeling unlucky. How could she have met this woman?

"Well, get up!"

Zhou Susu said this in a light tone, then took Shen Qingqian's hand and walked around her.
