Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 289 Days in Beijing

To be honest, Song Sanniang was quite shocked when she heard this, because he had always been very gentle in front of her and had never lost his temper with her, so she had never seen or even heard of such a method.

However, she had no intention of pursuing the matter any further. He naturally had his reasons for handling the matter in this way. Before she had time to think of anything else, someone from the kitchen came and said that the meal was ready, so everyone went to the dining room to have dinner together.

The meal was very sumptuous. The men sat at one table for drinking, and the women sat at another table with their children.

Little He Jingxian is also a worry when eating. Although she looks like a good kid when she is playing, she drops some food here and there when she is eating, or gets food on her lips.

Little brother Song couldn't stand it. He was taught by his sisters to eat properly, so he was shocked to see a little sister eating like this.

He himself had short hands and needed help from others to pick up the dishes, but he helped He Jingxian wipe the rice off her mouth and the food on her clothes, which made everyone else at the table laugh.

He Jun smiled and said, "Why don't we just arrange a marriage for the two of them? Qi Nian is so caring at such a young age, so it will be a good thing to marry him. He looks good now, and he should be even more handsome when he grows up."

As a mother, Wen Yingqiu couldn't help but shake her head when she saw her daughter eating such a mess.

However, when little brother Song heard that he had to marry a wife himself, he was not happy at first, "I want to marry a wife like my sisters." He made everyone laugh again.

The men at the table were talking about politics and current business, and from time to time they could hear the sound of toasts to each other.

I think everyone will drink a lot tonight. Coincidentally, the next day is a day off, so Master He and He Yin don't have to go to court or work.

As expected, they all left the party drunk at night. This was the second time He Pingdu got drunk. This time Song Sanniang had experience and was able to take care of him easily.

Afraid that he would have a headache again when he woke up the next day, she asked the court physician to prescribe some boiled medicine in advance and asked him to drink it before going to bed.

The next day, He Pingdu slept until the sun was shining on his buttocks before waking up. His head didn't hurt this time and he was very energetic after sleeping for so long. Song Sanniang had already gotten up and was watching the children playing in the yard.

Seeing He Pingdu coming out, she asked, "Are you awake? Do you have a headache?"

He Pingdu shook his head, "It doesn't hurt. What are you going to do today?"

"Let's go check out the store. I haven't been to a store in Beijing for a long time."

Now the stores in Beijing and the surrounding areas are managed by Uncle Liu and his wife. Sometimes Qin Haodong will come to inspect. Qin Haodong is the one who manages all the stores except Song Sanniang.

He will inspect the situation in each store from time to time, and then he will stay in the store with problems for a while until the store is adjusted to normal business conditions.

"Then we'll go together later." He Pingdu replied.

"Okay, you wash up and have breakfast first, we've already eaten."

Upon hearing this, He Pingdu went back to wash up and ate the breakfast left for him on the table, and then the couple went to the store together.

It's been a long time since I last came here, so the store hasn't changed much, but I didn't see a few of the previous employees. Song Sanniang didn't ask, after all, it's normal for employees to come and go in a store.

Uncle Liu was very happy to see the couple coming, and he took them to talk about the store. In fact, the stores in Beijing were good.

But my aunt was a thoughtful person. She saw that there were several stores in Beijing that imitated Tian Mi Mi, so she tried to innovate the dishes.

New snacks are launched in Beijing every month, so other stores in Beijing cannot affect Tianmi’s business.

Seeing that her uncle and aunt managed the store so well, Song Sanniang had nothing to worry about, so she just tried the new products in the store as if she was inspecting the store.

He Pingdu and Song Sanniang still remembered their mission. Song Sanniang delivered the valuables that Madam He asked her to bring to Jin.

Jin was confused and was about to go find the two of them, but Song Sanniang took the initiative to find her. Since it was a conversation between female relatives, He Pingdu did not go with her.

"What's going on? Are they all for me?" Jin asked curiously.

"Yes, they are all for you." Song Sanniang replied.

"Why?" Jin was puzzled.

"This is what the old lady asked us to give you. I guess she can't pay you back yet, so use these things to pay you back."

Although Mr. He only asked them to give the things to Jin and did not say anything else, Song Sanniang felt that this was what she meant.

Jin's expression was a bit complicated, with disdain, resentment, unwillingness and relief.

She randomly opened a box, which contained rare and precious books. She opened another box, which contained gold and silver jewelry. She did not open the others.

She said with a bit of melancholy, "In fact, I have long stopped hating her. If I were her, I would do the same. Only after becoming a mother will you know that for the sake of the child's future, a mother will be willing to do evil.

My status at that time was indeed not enough to marry into the He family. If my child told me one day that he wanted to marry a girl from an ordinary family, I would object."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that her younger sister-in-law had a similar background, so she apologized, "I'm sorry for offending you."

Song Sanniang waved her hands. She was a little scared after hearing what Jin said. She was afraid that she would become such a person one day.

During his stay in Beijing, He Pingdu took Song Sanniang with him to visit some old acquaintances in Beijing and introduced Song Sanniang to these people.

Song Sanniang also visited some friends she had met in Beijing before. Of course, she did not bring He Pingdu with her, because most of these people were women.

She also sent a letter to the Princess's residence. The Princess had helped her a lot in the past. The next day after she sent the letter, someone from the Princess's residence came to invite her to visit.

When I saw the princess again, she looked better than before.

"Now that you are here, you don't need to bow. Sit down." When Song Sanniang came in, the princess asked her to sit down.

Song Sanniang thanked the princess and sat down politely. The princess smiled and asked, "How have you been lately?"

"I have been traveling from Xiantao Prefecture to Beijing and I feel relaxed and refreshed." Song Sanniang replied.

The princess nodded and said, "It's a pity that I'm old, otherwise I would also go sightseeing."

"Your health is the most important thing. If the princess wants to go out for fun, she can go out for fun nearby."

The princess liked this feeling after she promoted the bill to help women. She followed the model of Song Sanniang's Pink House and used some of her own businesses to help poor women and children.

She had her own influence, and she also encouraged other wives and daughters of officials to do charity work together, which really helped a lot of people. Even the officials in the court praised her.

The princess discussed with Song Sanniang some problems she encountered in doing good deeds. The two exchanged ideas and had a very pleasant conversation.

Later, Song Sanniang left the capital, and the two continued to communicate. Song Sanniang would visit her every time she came to the capital, and they occasionally communicated with each other until she became seriously ill and died. The person who communicated with Song Sanniang became Princess Jiayin.
