Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

Lin Yuxi took out a piece of paper and said, "This fifty taels can be divided among the three of you. It is your dividend this time."

She would not let anyone work for free. Her bottom price in her mind was about three hundred taels. Of course, the more money the better, but without their help, she would not get the money.

The three were shocked. They had already won five taels last time, and now they had another one?

Each person could get more than ten taels out of fifty taels. They had never thought that they would have so much silver one day, but one should not be too greedy, so they quickly refused it.

"This is what you deserve. Each of you take 16 taels. You can use the remaining 2 taels to give me something good next time."

Lin Yuxi said this, and the three of them were extremely happy and excited.

Lin Yuxi asked about Zheng Laoshi again.

Cuizhu nodded with a slightly red face. Zheng Laoshi is nineteen years old this year, but still has not married.

The family was poor. There was a sixty-year-old grandmother and parents, and four brothers and sisters. They were all farmers who depended on the weather for their livelihood.

Zheng Laoshi only earned a small amount of money every month and had to support his family. It was difficult for him to make ends meet, so how could he have extra money to marry a wife?

Thinking it would be like this for the rest of his life, Cuizhu brought good news. Water flows upwards, so he gritted his teeth and accepted it.

"Is there any way for me to leave the house openly?"

This is the most important question. Cuiping thought for a while and said:

"The sixth day of June is the Dragon Boat Festival."

Lin Yuxi was stunned. Shouldn't the Dragon Boat Festival be on the fifth day of May? However, this is not a dynasty in Chinese history, so it is not surprising that the date is different.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, she could leave the house under the pretext of watching the dragon boat race, which was legitimate.

Having said that, Lin Yuxi still couldn't help feeling depressed, as there were still more than ten days left.

Women in ancient times were troublesome. Once they went out, they didn’t know when they would be able to go out next time.

She asked Cuizhu to inform Zheng Laoshi and ask him to be ready. She would then test his craftsmanship. If it was good enough, then it would basically be settled.

After hearing this, Cuizhu hurriedly thanked Lin Yuxi.

Lin Yuxi curled her lips and smiled treacherously:

"If anyone should thank someone, it should be Zheng Laoshi. Why are you thanking me?"

Cuizhu was stunned by what she said, and then her face turned red enough to look like blood. The others understood what was going on and looked at her with lustful expressions. Cuizhu was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.

On the other side, after seeing off the guests, Liu was lying on the bed almost exhausted. Lin Yuhe rushed in:

"Mother!"

Liu thought something was wrong and sat up with a start:

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

Lin Yuhe opened her eyes and nodded. This was a big deal.

After seeing this, Liu was about to get up, but was stopped by Lin Yuhe. Liu didn't understand what was going on and Lin Yuhe's face turned slightly red.

"Mother, did you really mean what you said last time about finding a husband for your daughter?"

Girls are usually too embarrassed to talk about these things, but once the thought arises, it clings to her like poison and she cannot help but fall into it.

Liu frowned when she heard this. Last time, Yuhe said that she would choose her own husband, but she didn't expect that she would find one so soon. If he was from a good family, she would definitely help him get him, so she nodded.

"My daughter likes the second son of the prefect. Mother, can you go and ask for her?"

The other party was handsome and dignified, exactly the match of her dreams.

Liu was stunned and quickly covered Lin Yuhe's mouth:

"Don't say this carelessly. If others hear it, it will be bad for your reputation."

This girl wants a man before she gets married, which is taboo and improper. If it gets out, it will damage her reputation. Moreover, the man is the son of the prefect. The girl is really brave.

"Why can't I tell you? I just like him. Mother, can you ask him if he's willing to marry me? I won't marry anyone but him!"

Lin Yuhe shook Liu's arm and acted coquettishly. If not, she still had a chance, and that man would definitely be hers.

Liu was in a dilemma. The prefect's son was not someone a family like theirs could marry. Officials looked down on merchants. Among the four classes of people, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants were the lowest.

The master has been doing business for so many years and has established some connections with the government, but the prefect is not like an ordinary government official.

When things are going well, you may get promoted once or twice, but when things turn bad, you can't bribe them with money.

She wanted to persuade him, but she was shaken so hard that she saw stars.

“Stop… stop shaking…”

Liu held her forehead and tried to suppress the dizziness, and advised:

"Hello, listen to your mother. The prefect's son is not someone you can get over..."

Lin Yuhe interrupted Fang and growled stubbornly:

"I don't! I said I would choose my own husband. Now I have found him. I believe he is my lover. Mother, please go and ask him, okay?"

To others, this was extremely treasonous, but Lin Yuhe was Liu's precious daughter, whom she loved since she was a child, so naturally, she would not speak harshly to her.

Seeing that she was so into it, I couldn't help but sigh. Unable to resist her stubbornness, I had to agree.

Lin Yuhe showed a confident smile of success, and naturally spoke well to Liu, who was flattered.

They were laughing at the moment, but they didn't know that the other party was also discussing marriage.

In the Jusong Hall, the old lady sat at the head of the table. She took the white jade teacup handed to her by the maid, flipped the lid on the tea, took a sip, and then said:

"Are you really going to propose marriage?"

Jiang nodded, his expression neither warm nor distant, he just said calmly:

"Yes, my wife has chosen the second daughter of Yingshan Linxiang's family."

Sitting below the old lady, the woman in gorgeous official attire curled her lips and smiled just the right amount:

"There are only two legitimate daughters in the Lin Xiang family. The eldest daughter is already married, and the other is the third daughter. Chen Chuan is the second son of our Yang family after all, and he will pursue a career in the government in the future. It is really ill-considered to choose a concubine as the principal wife. Moreover, the Lin Xiang family is a merchant family. If the news gets out, it will be embarrassing for the Yang family. Sister, you'd better think carefully about it."

This person was none other than the eldest lady Cao. Every word she said seemed to be indignant for Yang Chenchuan, but in fact, it was a sarcasm, mocking the Wen family for having poor vision and choosing a merchant's concubine's daughter.

But Cao was still very happy. She hoped that Yang Chenchuan would marry a concubine's daughter who was not presentable enough, so that they would be a perfect match.

Jiang looked at Cao calmly without responding to her words. She then looked at the old lady and said:

"Mother, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. I am Chen Chuan's biological mother. I will definitely not harm my son."

Jiang's attitude was firm. She had recognized Lin Yuxi as Chuan'er's biological mother, so his marriage would naturally be decided by her and no one else could interfere.

The old lady looked at Jiang with complicated eyes. Jiang was the daughter-in-law she had chosen personally, so how could she not know her temper? In her heart, she liked Jiang the most and had wronged her over the years.

On the other hand, what's the point of the Cao family fighting each other? They have been refusing to stop for so many years. Doesn't this also insult the old lady?

Mrs. Jiang was also a daughter of a merchant family, and she had chosen her personally. When Mrs. Cao scolded Mrs. Jiang for having no taste, wasn't she also saying that the old lady had no taste? The old lady's face darkened a little.
