Quickly wear, the host just wants to be bad
Chapter 3: Cannon Fodder Shangshu Jin 1
When Jiang Nian opened his eyes again, he found himself in darkness. He could see that it was just dawn outside. After receiving the original owner's memories, the original owner's life appeared in his mind.
The original owner was named Lin Shuyi. She was the only daughter of the Minister of Revenue of the Northern Liang Kingdom. Her father's ancestral teachings stated that a man could take a concubine only if he had no children by the age of 30. Therefore, the original owner's father only married the original owner's mother. Mrs. Lin, Zhou Ruo, had three sons and one daughter. Lin Shuyi was Zhou Ruo's youngest child. The original owner grew up being pampered by her family.
Lin Shuyi's life should have been smooth sailing, until the little girl was 14 years old. Something unexpected happened in her family. Her father was framed for treason and his whole family should have been beheaded. However, the emperor showed leniency to her because she had worked diligently for so many years and was his study companion, and sentenced her to confiscation of property and exile.
As for the reason for the little girl's death, it was that the imperial decree to confiscate the property was issued too hastily, and the original owner's family was unprepared. In addition, there were constant natural disasters and man-made disasters along the way, which made things even more difficult for the little girl's family. The little girl's family died one after another due to various reasons along the way, and in the end even the little girl failed to successfully reach the north.
So the original owner's wish was that she could protect her family and get them to the north safely. She could arrange her life as she wished, and she had no requirements.
After receiving the original owner's memories, Jiang Nian understood that the time of arrival was the day before the imperial edict was issued. Today, after his father went to court, he would be trapped in the palace and would not meet his family in prison until the imperial edict was issued tomorrow.
Jiang Nian thought that time was running out and that he only had today to prepare, so he couldn't sleep and started to plan. He had space, so it was no problem to take away all the valuables at home, but if the emperor confiscated the house, it was impossible that such a large Shangshu Mansion would have nothing. If he couldn't find anything during the confiscated house, the emperor might really cause trouble for his family.
So the things had to be collected, but not all of them. Fortunately, because the family doted on the little girl, the original owner's mother also gave her a key to all the big and small storehouses in the house. This made it convenient for her to do things.
At this time, his father should be on his way to court. If he told his mother that the house would be searched tomorrow, no one would believe him. So Lin Shuyi decided to act first. If his father didn't come back in the evening, he would find an excuse to remind his family to prepare early.
As soon as there was any movement in the room, Qingyu, the maid who was guarding outside, pushed the door open with a basin and helped Lin Shuyi wash up. After a while, Lin Shuyi took her two personal maids, Qingyu and Qinglian, to the main courtyard to have dinner with the original owner's mother and sister-in-law.
The Lin family does not have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. After thinking for a moment, Lin Shuyi imitated the original owner's tone and said, "Mother, I am going to make a new dress recently and I want to use the pink brocade in the storeroom, so I want to tell you in advance."
Mother Lin listened to her daughter's words and thought for a moment, "I have a batch of goose yellow brocade satin in my private storeroom. You can use it to make a skirt. It will be very nice to wear it."
Lin Shuyi didn't expect such a surprise. She was just thinking of an excuse to visit her mother's private store, and the opportunity came to her immediately.
"Yes, Yi'er, thank you mother."
Soon after breakfast, Lin Shuyi went to his mother's private storehouse. As soon as he entered, he could not help but sigh at the lavish spending of the first royal merchant in Jiangnan to marry off his daughter. He saw the storehouse filled with all kinds of exquisite porcelain jewelry, silks and satins, gold and silver jewelry, etc., which dazzled Lin Shuyi. Finally, Lin Shuyi decided to make a quick decision and took three boxes of gold, three boxes of silver, and two large boxes of gold, silver and jade jewelry.
Then she was ready to go out with the exquisite kesi satin in her arms. Just as she was about to leave, she saw several sets of exquisite tea sets and two boxes of gold and silver nudes. She thought of taking them all, after all, the gold and silver nudes were really beautiful.
After leaving the small warehouse, Lin Shuyi asked Qinglian to take the things back first, and took Qingyu to the large warehouse in the mansion. After entering, he had no time to express his feelings. Except for the large porcelain ornaments, Lin Shuyi took half of all the other things. After all, there were rumors outside that the dowry of the Shangshu's wife alone was higher than the worth of all the people in the Shangshu's mansion. Today, Lin Shuyi confirmed this rumor.
After coming out, he still asked Qingyu to send the things back while he strolled around. After watching Qingyu leave, Lin Shuyi went directly to the granary and the small warehouse where the supplements were stored and collected half of the food and two-thirds of the supplements.
He quickly returned to his yard and put all the original owner's collections over the years from the warehouse into the space. He went back to the room and began to count the things in the original owner's room. Now it was almost summer, so he put away all the new quilts that he had used last winter.
He took out a wooden box from the cabinet, which contained the silver bills saved by the original owner. He counted them and found a total of 13,500 taels. He then put the 360,000 taels of silver bills taken out from the warehouse into the box, looked at the dressing table, picked up the things he liked, and took the 100 taels of silver bills and 50 taels of silver outside, ready to go out.
He took Qingyu and Qinglian with him in a carriage to the street, sent two maids to Baixiangzhai to buy some more snacks, and told the driver to go to Chunhetang, the largest pharmacy in the capital. Doctor Chang there was a retired imperial physician, and the pills he made were famous, so Lin Shuyi went in and directly bought all their current stock, spending more than one thousand taels.
After leaving the pharmacy, he started shopping. He bought all the steamed buns and dumplings from three steamed bun shops, a lot of fine cotton cloth and coarse cloth, and finished products from two pastry shops. He paid a deposit for all the goods and asked them to deliver them to his villa in the city. He asked the driver to wait for the two maids there. The distance was not far, so he went to the villa first, mainly to collect the things before they came back.
As soon as I arrived at the villa, I saw a few servants waiting at the door. I paid the balance one by one and asked them to put the things in the yard and then sent them away. Seeing that there was no one at the moment, I immediately put all the things into the space.
So he sat in the living room, waiting for Qinglian and Qingyu while thinking about the follow-up plans. After a while, two maids came back carrying two food boxes each. The dim sum at Baixiangzhai was famous for its deliciousness, but the quantity was limited every day, and one had to queue up if one wanted to buy some. Seeing that everyone had returned, they took a carriage back home together.
After returning home, he asked the maid to take the three food boxes back to the yard, and he went to his mother with one food box.
"Mother, I went to Baixiangzhai today. Look, I bought you your favorite lotus-scented white jade cake. Come and try it."
"Okay, okay, let Nanny Qin make a pot of good tea, and we can drink it together, mother and daughter."
Nanny Qin also looked at the young lady lovingly at the side and said, "Madam, please wait a moment. I will go and make tea."
Having said that, he left without stopping.
