My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.
Chapter 82: Famous for his ruthlessness, driving up coal prices
"Look, that's Madam Shen. She is indeed beautiful and has the dignity of a mistress."
"He has some tricks! He drove away the concubine and suppressed the concubine. None of the concubines in the mansion can get close to General Shen."
"The second daughter of the Ye family is much more powerful than the first daughter! Miss Ye can only be a concubine, and people are already cleaning up the concubine."
"..."
Ye Qinghuan was puzzled and asked Chunyan: "Am I so famous?"
"Madam, you don't know yet, right? Now everyone in Shengjing is saying that Madam is jealous and doesn't allow the general to spend the night in the concubine's room..."
"Uh, who spread it?" Ye Qinghuan was confused.
"Anyway, that's what everyone is saying..."
Ye Qinghuan: ………
When did she not allow Shen Lin to sleep in someone else's room? She also encouraged Su Jinxiu to have a baby!
"The source seems to be the dancers who attended the birthday banquet that day. They heard the general and King Rui say that the lady was jealous..."
"Shen Lin!"
Ye Qinghuan rubbed his forehead and gritted his teeth.
That day, Shen Lin said that he would cooperate with her plan and would definitely provoke Zong Xue to take action.
Later, she fell ill from the cold lake water and forgot to ask him what trick he had used.
I didn’t expect that he would be so angry!
Ruining her reputation!
"Madam, don't be angry. This is actually a good thing. Let those women know how powerful you are!" Chunyan said with a smile, "As the saying goes, ghosts are afraid of evil people. With this fierce reputation, there will be no new people in the mansion in the future."
Ye Qinghuan declined to comment.
Because Shen Rong had a disabled leg, Shen Lin felt like he owed something to Old Madam Shen and Shen Rong, and it was difficult for him to be dominant in the backyard.
Whether new people are admitted or not is up to Old Madam Shen.
Soon we arrived at Linglong Cloth Shop, which had been completely renovated.
"Second Miss." Lao Xu also changed into new clothes and waited with his servants.
Ye Qinghuan looked at the lively Linglong Cloth Shop and smiled with satisfaction: "Have you ever woven cloth with gold thread and fish pattern before?"
"Yes. Miss Bai wove a few pieces and gave them away when she was alive," said Lao Xu.
It’s indeed my mother’s work.
Ye Qinghuan felt a sharp pain in his heart and took out the piece of cloth from his arms: "Uncle Xu, take a look at this."
"Oh! This is the old cloth woven fifteen years ago. How did the second young lady find it?" Old Xu asked in surprise.
"From the palace."
"Ah, the Second Miss's face actually entered the palace back then?" Old Xu was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. "That's great! Things that the ladies in the palace like must be easy to sell."
This is how the market analysis was done, but Ye Qinghuan was not happy about it.
The Bai family has been in business for generations, but they have never done business in the palace.
Uncle Xu said those pieces of cloth were given as gifts. Who did my mother give them to? How did they end up in the palace?
"Second Miss, let's start production now." said Lao Xu.
Ye Qinghuan thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle Xu, besides the hanging fish pattern, has my mother ever woven cloth with other patterns?"
"No."
"Well, put the hanging fish pattern aside for now and weave the others."
Old Xu was surprised: "Second Miss?"
"My mother was murdered. Before I find out the truth, I'm afraid the hanging fish pattern will bring me trouble." Ye Qinghuan said cautiously.
Old Xu looked at the young master in front of him with eyes full of admiration.
She is two years younger than Miss Bai back then, but she is more courageous and magnanimous than Miss Bai.
The disciple is better than the master, Miss Bai can rest in peace now!
"Second Miss, we have also made samples of several other patterns. Please take a look first."
"it is good."
Ye Qinghuan followed Lao Xu to the weaving workshop and was shocked by its size of over 100 square meters: "So big?"
"Yes. This is our weaving workshop." Old Xu raised his chin proudly. "Before our cloth shop declined, we didn't take care of it. Now, I have recruited all the former employees back."
There are dozens of weaving workers, most of whom are women in their thirties and forties.
I think they are all former workers.
More than ten years had passed, yet they were able to be brought together again in such a short time. My mother must have had some good reputation back then.
"Second miss."
Everyone saluted respectfully, and there was satisfaction and curiosity in their eyes when they looked at Ye Qinghuan.
Lao Xu whispered, "Miss Bai is kind-hearted. They have all received favors from Miss Bai."
Ye Qinghuan nodded and said to everyone: "Thank you for your hard work. From now on, Linglong Cloth Shop will rely on you."
"Miss, you are too polite. Just tell us what to do. Our skills are not rusty, and we can finish the cloth even if we work overtime."
"The Second Miss is as beautiful as Miss Bai. It is our blessing that she can return to Linglong Cloth Shop again."
"..."
Sure enough, it was because her mother did good deeds first that she had the big tree to provide shade for her.
Ye Qinghuan felt a sour feeling in his heart, unable to vent it or let it go.
Who on earth harmed my mother?
After coming out of the cloth shop, Ye Qinghuan was in a heavy mood.
Chunyan and Chunyu were puzzled, but they were smart enough not to ask.
But I still meet someone who is blind.
"Oh, your eyes are so red. Did you think of your mother at the cloth shop?" Ye Qinglan snuggled up to Jiang Shiming and asked proudly.
Ye Qinghuan closed his eyes and said, "Ye Qinglan, you'd better not mess with me now."
"What? Sisters can't even talk to each other? Ye Qinghuan, you are such a bitch." Ye Qinglan mocked, "Winter is coming soon, who are you going to sell your cloth to?"
This winter, what everyone needs is cotton clothes and charcoal ash. Linglong's outdated fabrics are like waste.
Moreover, without sufficient charcoal to keep out the cold, the workers were unable to weave new cloth.
Ye Qinghuan suddenly thought of a plan and said, "Sister Di, are you reminding me to stock up on charcoal? Chunyan, take five thousand taels of silver and go buy charcoal."
"Are you crazy? How can you burn charcoal worth five thousand taels of silver in one winter?" Ye Qinglan exclaimed in shock, extremely envious of Ye Qinghuan's affluence.
A casual investment would be five thousand taels, which was far more than Ye Qinghuan's dowry.
It can only be the Shen family’s money.
Damn it! The old woman actually gave all her assets to Ye Qinghuan!
In her previous life, she used every possible means, including coercion and inducement, but she still couldn't get a penny from the Shen family. What kind of magic potion did Ye Qinghuan feed the old woman?
"My elder sister has always been very smart. Since there is a shortage of charcoal, I will stock up some and sell it during the cold winter." Ye Qinghuan said.
Jiang Shiming's expression suddenly turned ugly. He let go of Ye Qinglan and pushed her twice: "You are so talkative!"
"Prince..." Ye Qinglan quickly moved closer and whispered, "I was wrong. Let's go and look at the charcoal. Leave her alone."
Jiang Shiming stopped pushing her away and said to Ye Qinghuan, "Mrs. Shen, just enough charcoal is enough. There are risks if you stockpile too much."
"Thank you for your reminder, Prince. Chunyan, add another five thousand taels of charcoal. If it is difficult to buy, increase the price." Ye Qinghuan said.
Jiang Shiming: ………
Ye Qinglan: ………
I just regret that I don’t have more money to invest!
"Mrs. Shen, don't regret it." Jiang Shiming looked at Ye Qinghuan deeply, then took Ye Qinglan and left.
As soon as he got on the carriage, he slapped Ye Qinglan: "Tell me, what should we do now?"
"Prince, I'm sorry..." Ye Qinglan knelt at Jiang Shiming's feet and apologized with tears in her eyes.
Who knew Ye Qinghuan was so clever? Be extra careful when scolding Ye Qinghuan next time!
"It's already difficult to collect charcoal, and now she's offering so much money and raising the price, what should we do?" Jiang Shiming asked sternly.
Ye Qinglan shrank her neck and said, "I still have some dowry, so I can pawn it first..."
"I know you don't like her. She is just a concubine's daughter, but she has so much dowry. But you know we are short of money now. If you want to vent your anger, wait until you make money."
"understood……"
Jiang Shiming pulled Ye Qinglan up and kissed her on the face lovingly.
Ye Qinglan bit her lip in grievance, her heart was broken.
He didn't really love her at all, he just did this because he heard that she could provide more money.
She is so difficult!
How much money would it take to win the heart of the prince?
Why does she always lose when fighting with Ye Qinghuan?
Even if she just mocked her a few times?
Ye Qinglan was embarrassed, even Chunyan and Chunyu were happy.
Chunyan asked: "Madam, do you really want to raise the price of coal again?"
"No, I lied to her. Tell Chang Ming to just keep the charcoal for his own use. As for the rest, I'll pretend to be retail traders and sell the charcoal to the prince in batches, and I'll raise the price by 20%." Ye Qinghuan said.
"So this is Madam's idea! Great, we can make money directly from the prince."
"But ma'am, winter hasn't come yet. If we sell all the coal, won't it be a bargain for them?"
Ye Qinghuan laughed: "Maliciously hoarding coal and then driving up the market price, do you know what crime that is?"
Chunyu and Chunyan looked at each other and said, "I don't know."
"At the very least, the proceeds will be confiscated, at the worst, the person will be beheaded."
"what--"
