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

"This is your reward for helping in the bookshop." After the carriage drove into the backyard of the bookshop, Liusu untied Ye Xi and handed her a bag of silver. Ye Xi took it without saying anything. Indeed, only by receiving payment can things be done properly.

Ye Xi was not feeling well, so she called a carriage to take her back after she went out. In the carriage, Ye Xi poured out the silver that Liu Su had given her. She wanted to see how much the other party had given. Ye Xi's eyes widened when she saw it. She didn't expect that she had given three taels of gold. This was a big deal. You have to know that her dowry, a shop and two acres of land, collected a total of two taels of silver in rent every month, and Pei Zhu gave her three taels of silver for household expenses every month. What the other party gave was really quite a lot, but Ye Xi smiled bitterly. Is this considered a "reward"?

Ye Xi was not so noble as to not want money. After all, money makes the world go round. Maybe this money would come in handy one day. It would be so satisfying if the other party was defeated by the money he spent.

Ye Xi asked the carriage to stop at a restaurant. She went to buy some snacks and exchanged one or two taels of gold. She planned to tell Pei Zhu that the reward this time was three hundred coins. Three hundred coins was actually a very high income. After all, many people in this era could not get this kind of reward for part-time jobs. She was lucky to be able to read and write.

When she got home, she told Pei Zhu the words she had thought of. Pei Zhu was quite surprised to hear that she had earned three hundred coins in less than half a day. Thinking that Ye Xi was only there to check the engravings for others and could earn a few hundred coins, he thought it was not a bad idea.

After more than half a month, Pei Zhu finally got better and was able to get out of bed and walk. Ye Xi helped him walk in the yard. During this period, the nobleman did not "summon" her, so she was happy to be free, taking care of the injured Pei Zhu, and felt that life did not seem so bad.

"Master, Madam, a guest outside the door handed in a note, saying it was from Yang Jian from Yangzhou. Please take a look, Master." Chuntao handed over the note.

Pei Zhu didn't seem to expect that Yang Jian actually sent a note home. He took the note and read the content of the note carefully. He was very happy after reading it. Ye Xi was curious and asked, "Husband, what is this note about?"

"Young Master Yang said that he will be in Suzhou City recently, and sent a note asking when is a good time to visit his home." Pei Zhu frowned again after being happy.

"My husband is unhappy?" Ye Xi was puzzled as Pei Zhu seemed so happy just now, but then she frowned.

"Our home is too simple. If we let Young Master Yang come to our house, it might affect our future cooperation."

Ye Xi was even more puzzled. "Business cooperation is all about character and reputation. We can't afford a big offer with our conditions. If the other party doesn't want to give us a small one, we don't have to force it. If the other party stops dealing with us because our house is simple, it's not a bad thing. It's better than blaming us for deceiving him when he suffers a loss in the future. Who knows what kind of lawsuit will arise. Besides, there are more businessmen in the world than just him."

After hearing these words, Pei Zhu stared at Ye Xi for a long time, making Ye Xi doubt whether he had said something wrong. After all, he had never been involved in business in his two lives, so he might have said something wrong.

"What Xi Niang said makes sense. This is the situation in our family. Young Master Yang has never cooperated with me and he must have some doubts in his heart. If our true identity is revealed this time and the other party feels that it is inappropriate, then it would be better for them to stop associating with us." He agreed with what Ye Xi said, "He is not the only businessman in this world."

"Is the person who delivered the note still here?" Pei Zhu turned around and asked Chun Tao.

"Still waiting outside the door." Chuntao replied.

"Xi Niang, help me go to the study and reply to Young Master Yang."
