Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Except for the imperial palace, basically no one's main door can be opened in the center. The main door of the mansion of high-ranking officials is usually slightly to the right of the center, and the main door of common people like them is usually opened on the far right. Ye Xi looked around their new home. There was no front yard after entering the main gate, and naturally there was no hanging flower gate. Going to the left was the courtyard. To the south of the courtyard were the kitchen, bathroom and toilet. The west and east sides of the courtyard were naturally the west wing and the east wing. To the north of the courtyard was the main house, and on both sides of the main house were the ear rooms. This was all the courtyard had.

Ye Xi and Pei Zhu were busy directing the household affairs. Naturally, they lived in the main house, and each of them brought a maid and a servant. Pei Zhu believed that the east and west wing rooms should be left for the future children to live in, so he insisted on not letting the servants live there. Then they could only live in the side room, but Ye Xi felt that the side room was too close to the main house and felt awkward.

While the maids were packing up, Ye Xi looked carefully at each room and was worrying about how to arrange the two of them. Suddenly, she found that the west wing was actually quite spacious. So she discussed with Pei Zhu and let Chuntao live in the west wing. She spent some money to add a wall to the west wing to separate a room, and open a door on the north side, and let the servant live there.

Pei Zhu disagreed at first, but Ye Xi gave two explanations: First, when Pei Zhu's business gradually expanded, it would not be enough to have only one servant around him, and he would have to buy at least one or two more. The small room in the west wing could accommodate two or three servants. Second, it was inconvenient for the servants to be too close to them during their sexual intercourse. Chun Tao was her personal maid, so there were some things that could be done without reservation.

Pei Zhu finally agreed, and was even quite satisfied with Ye Xi's second explanation, which made Ye Xi blush.

Ye Xi was actually very curious about what Pei Zhu's so-called livelihood was. The Ye family lived on the rent collected from the fields and shops left by their ancestors. Ye's father was a civil servant in the government who wrote county annals and received a meager salary, but at least he had a livelihood. She asked Pei Zhu, and Pei Zhu explained that he made a living by making silk. This business was the main business of his grandmother's family. His uncle brought him in, and now he has opened a small shop.

Ye Xi was very satisfied after hearing this. As long as she had a job to do, she felt very happy. Although women's freedom was not restricted in this era, it was still not easy for women to make a living on their own. Ye Xi's identity as a woman was not suitable for her to show her face, so she hoped that Pei Zhu would manage the business well.

Ye Xi also went to Pei Zhu's small shop to show her face, as the wife of the boss. Ye Xi found that Pei Zhu's small shop was doing very well, because the silk had good texture and a variety of colors, which was very popular among young ladies. Pei Zhu not only sold these silks in the shop, but also went to other places to expand sales channels, so the income was not bad.

It took them half a month to settle down in Suzhou, and soon, it was time for Pei Zhu to go on a long journey.

That night, the main room was awash with red waves. Pei Zhu teased her vigorously, and Ye Xi became more and more attached to Pei Zhu. After the act was over, Ye Xi took advantage of Pei Zhu's breathing and said, "Husband, are we going to Yangzhou City this time?"

Pei Zhu was still thinking about it, and answered in a hoarse voice: "Yes, Xi Niang, what do you think?"

Ye Xi leaned against Pei Zhu, put one hand on Pei Zhu's chest, and drew circles on his bare chest with her fingers: "Husband, do you still remember what you promised Xi Niang before?"
