Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

After Gu Qingrong left, Liang suddenly became free. She couldn't help but think about the acres of land at home.

But when she arrived at the field, she was surprised to find that someone was already turning the soil?

"What...what's going on?"

She was about to scream and ask why these people broke into her field when Shen Nankui suddenly came over.

"Sister-in-law."

Liang asked in surprise, "Second brother's wife, why are you here?"

She didn't have time to say anything more to Shen Nankui, and rushed to the field with her hoe on her shoulder, "Wait a minute, I don't know where these people came from, but they are running wild in our field, let me chase them away!"

Shen Nankui grabbed her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, please listen to my explanation first."

She glanced at the people working in the fields and thought, "I guess these people were brought by Second Aunt, right?"

"Second Aunt wants to take our land?" This thought suddenly popped up in Liang's mind.

Seeing her nervous face, Shen Nankui couldn't help laughing, "Of course not, sister-in-law, look——"

She stretched out her arms and walked around, "These dozens of acres of land in front of you were all bought by me."

Liang was stunned and stammered, "This... there are so many, how can I handle them all?"

"Of course I'm not asking you to plant so much land."

Shen Nankui smiled and shook her head, "Sister-in-law, the business still requires your continued efforts. I naturally cannot let you be disturbed by other things."

"Except for the expenses of opening the workshop, I still have some money left. Although this money is not enough to buy a shop, it is more than enough to buy these lands. Anyway, whether it is land or property, it is more reassuring to have it in hand. After I bought the land, I went to find Second Aunt and asked her if she was willing to take over these lands. I would give her 20% of the harvest per acre. She agreed as soon as she heard it, so I guess she must have found these people."

She looked at the land with a smile in her eyes.

"After turning the land this winter, we can plant crops next spring. By then, these fields will be full of crops, and they will all belong to us."

Only then did Liang come to his senses.

Yes, Shen Nankui has already made money for them.

She even had a large sum of private money in her hands, and this money was earned by herself, so even Mother Gu could not take it away from her.

She couldn't help but laugh. "Second sister-in-law, to be honest with you, ever since I married into the Gu family, I never thought there would be a day like this. Our family has so much land, and I don't have to do anything, and someone will cultivate the land. This is simply the fairy-tale life that only a landlord's wife can have!"

Shen Nankui joked: "Even if you don't farm, you still have business to do, so don't be too happy too soon, sister-in-law."

"How easy is it to do business? You can make money and it's not tiring at all."

At the beginning, Liang was indeed a little hesitant when selling goods on the street, but with the encouragement of her husband and Shen Nankui, she gradually figured out the tricks of the trade. Especially since most of the people who bought rouge and powder were women, she was more persuasive than a man like Gu Qingrong.

Later it was gradually proved that she was the main force in selling Chixia Rouge, while Gu Qingrong specialized in collecting money and packaging the goods, and the two worked together very well.

Thinking of this, she suddenly woke up.

Who would have thought that she, a country woman who only knew how to farm and take care of housework, would now have her own place to use her talents?

Moreover, judging from Shen Nankui's tone, it seems that she will continue to be involved in business matters in the future.

Liang was in a complicated mood. She stared at Shen Nankui for a long while before she said softly, "Thank you, my second sister-in-law."

"What are you thanking me for? We are all family." Shen Nankui smiled warmly.

Liang looked at her smiling face, and her eyes became moist for some reason.

"Second sister-in-law, no one has ever affirmed me like this. Thank you for trusting me. Otherwise, I would not have known that I could accomplish things that I never dared to think of before."

"Don't say that. Just think that I'm lazy and that's why I leave everything to you and Big Brother."

Liang burst out laughing. "Yes, how can there be someone as lazy as you in the world? You have to go to the private school at dawn every morning, and when you come back you have to worry about all the big and small business matters."

Shen Nankui felt a little helpless. In fact, according to her, she just wanted to live a leisurely life after she had money.

Liang murmured, "It feels like a dream..."

Shen Nankui also sighed silently. Living her life over again, didn't it feel like she was in a dream?

-

As winter approaches, the weather gets colder day by day.

Half a month after Gu Qingrong went to Jiangnan, the caravan brought back the second batch of Chixia rouge, which amounted to eight boxes. Because Liang was the only one selling the goods, Shen Nankui asked her to only bring half a box every day. One reason was to avoid tiring her out, and the other was to worry that the rouge would sell out too quickly and there would be a long period of shortage of supply afterwards.

By the end of November, half of the eight boxes of rouge had been sold. Shen Nankui had recovered some of his capital and began to look for a suitable shop in the city.

That morning, when Gu Yichuang came out of Hu's house, he saw Shen Nankui waiting at the door.

He walked over quickly, first helped her tighten the straps of her hood, and then said, "Nan Kui, why are you standing in the cold wind? The sky is gloomy today, and I'm afraid it will snow. What if you get frozen?"

Shen Nankui smiled at him and said, "You haven't been home for a few days. I wanted to see you earlier."

Gu Yichuan smiled knowingly and led her into the carriage.

——The family is not short of money now, and in order to facilitate traveling, Shen Nankui also bought a carriage for the family.

"Are you free this afternoon?" Shen Nankui asked.

Gu Yichuan said: "The teacher didn't make any arrangements this afternoon, I'm free."

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "These days, I have looked at several shops in the city's dental clinics. After choosing and choosing, I found one that I like. I plan to decide on it today. Would you like to go with me?"

"of course can."

Gu Yichuan looked at her with a smile, and suddenly said, "Madam, you have only taken a few months to grow your business to such a scale. Compared with you, I am really ashamed of myself."

Shen Nankui certainly couldn't explain to him that she was able to do all this because of her past life's experience and knowledge. She could only smile and say, "I'm just lucky."

"I'm lucky too." Gu Yichuan shook her hand.

When they arrived at the brokerage firm, the manager had already prepared the contract and respectfully handed it to Gu Yichuan for review.

Gu Yichuan handed it to Shen Nankui naturally. The pawnbroker looked a little embarrassed and asked with a smile, "This shop is a two-story building with a backyard and three rooms. I'll give you 500 taels of silver, with a 50% deposit. What do you think, sir and madam?"
