The wind is gentle and the fun is endless

After the group of people who bought jewelry returned to Xu's house, they rushed to Jingyuan to see Madam Xie first. Madam Xie, who was full of thoughts, actually had a hidden expectation for Xiangyunsha in her heart, so she had been waiting for them neatly dressed.

When Mrs. Xie heard the good news from her aunt, she immediately smiled with joy and brought everyone to the study room that had been arranged long ago. She also ordered the housekeeper to bring a servant and Nanny Zhang to bring two maids to serve in the room personally.

Mrs. Xie looked radiant in the candlelight. She smiled and said, "Manager Cao, it was definitely the right choice for you to finalize our cooperation!"

Shopkeeper Cao was originally worried that if he turned back, he would be harassed by Madam Xie, but seeing that Madam Xie had no such intention, he naturally smiled and said, "To be honest, I was greatly enlightened in the Silver Shop tonight. From financial strength to management ability, I have truly appreciated the strength of your family. I am absolutely sure that by partnering with you, we will be able to promote our Xiangyunsha and make a lot of money at the same time, hahahaha."

Madam Cao squeezed in at the right time and said, "Oh, Madam Xie, please don't mind what happened before. Our Xiangyunsha is dyed in the mud and shines in the scorching sun. It needs to be boiled three times, washed nine times, and dried eighteen times, which takes half a year. It is not easy to make. In addition, we have partners. If we are not sure, we will not be able to explain it when we go back. That's why we..."

Mrs. Xie smiled generously at this time and said, "I understand. Let's not talk about the previous matter anymore. I heard that Shopkeeper Cao agreed to my price yesterday?"

Manager Cao said, "Not only that, we would also like to ask you to be the general merchant of our Xiangyunsha in several prefectures in Jiangbei. I hope you will take care of us in the future."

Mrs. Xie was a little overjoyed. She smiled and said, "That's even better. We need to discuss the details of the contract carefully."

Shopkeeper Cao said, "Yes, yes, we will leave tomorrow, so we must at least come up with a plan tonight."

So, in the first half of the night, Mrs. Xie and Xu Qu were discussing and writing the terms. Fortunately, Mrs. Xie had already prepared the general content, and Manager Cao had also almost figured it out in his mind. When the midnight watch rang, the contract was drafted and copied.

Madam Xie and Manager Cao solemnly signed their names at the end of the book, and everyone relaxed at this moment. The atmosphere in the room immediately changed from tense to joyful.

Mrs. Cao yawned twice in a row after relaxing. Mrs. Xie immediately smiled and said, "It's very late today. Mrs. Cao, the shopkeeper, has to go on a long journey tomorrow. It's better to go back and rest early."

Manager Cao and Mrs. Cao did not refuse. They said goodbye to others and left quickly.

After the Cao couple left, Madam Xie smiled and said to the others, "Today's Xiangyunsha business is a big deal. You all have worked hard, thank you! Especially my sister, you have condescended to do so many things and stayed with me so late tonight, why don't you go back and rest early."

The eldest aunt looked a little tired, but smiled and said, "This is the Xu family's business. As a member of the Xu family, I should do my part. The one who really contributed to our Xu family is your good niece Bihua. It was her idea to bring Shopkeeper Cao and his wife to the silver shop. She was the one who led everything in the silver shop, which made Shopkeeper Cao finally make up his mind. Unlike some people, they are just a decoration." After that, the eldest aunt acted as if she had said something wrong by accident and said to Xu Qu, "Qu'er, I'm not talking about you."

Without having to listen to what her aunt added later, Huan Huan knew that she was talking about her. She was feeling a little happy because the business deal was concluded, but at this moment she was also shrouded in a shadow of guilt.

Mrs. Xie said at this time: "Everyone has made contributions and will be rewarded. It is too late today, so we will discuss this matter another day. Sister, why don't you go back and rest first."

The eldest aunt first glanced in Huanhuan's direction, then looked back at Madam Xie and nodded, then said to Xie Jin: "Bihua, let's go."

Mrs. Xie immediately replied, "I still have something to ask Bihua, please go back first."

The eldest aunt did not comment. She looked at Mrs. Xie for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go back first."

After the eldest aunt left, Xu Qu and Huan Huan also bowed to Madam Xie and said goodbye.

Mrs. Xie smiled and slowly sent Xu Quhe to the door. After they walked away, she turned around and her expression immediately became serious. She said to Xie Jin solemnly: "Bihua, didn't I tell you not to wear that bracelet?"

Xie Jin probably expected that Mrs. Xie would ask this question, so he acted calmly and replied calmly: "I am trying to persuade Mrs. Cao..."

Before Xie Jin could finish, Madam Xie interrupted her and said, "This reason may be acceptable today, but it will no longer work in the future. You are not allowed to wear this bracelet anymore." Madam Xie's last sentence was already an order.

Xie Jin sat there with her eyes downcast and remained silent. The candlelight cast a shadow on her thick eyelashes, making it impossible to tell what emotion was in her eyes at the moment.

Madam Xie added, "Tomorrow, Shopkeeper Cao and his wife will leave. It's not appropriate for you to continue living here. You should go home after they leave."

Xie Jin suddenly raised his head and looked at Madam Xie. There was a thin layer of mist in her eyes. She seemed to have expected it, but more of it was shock. Her whole face was sad and embarrassed. She moved her lips, hesitated again and again, and said nothing.

Seeing her niece like this, Madam Xie felt sympathetic and softened her tone. She said, "I know you have worked hard for the Xiangyunsha project. Auntie will give you a corresponding reward and will remember your kindness. I am not trying to be ungrateful or to destroy the bridge after crossing the river. Madam Guogong speaks and acts based on her own interests. You should not be fooled by her absurd remarks. I am asking you to go back for your own good. Do you understand?"

Xie Jin lowered his head and whispered, "I understand."

Madam Xie sighed and said, "It's not that Auntie is harsh on you, but you have to understand that you chose the path you took in the beginning, and now it's no longer up to you or me to decide."

Xie Jin remained silent for a long time before he replied, "Yes." The tone of his voice seemed to be responding to Mrs. Xie, but also seemed to be speaking to himself.

Madam Xie stretched out her hand to support her forehead, waved it helplessly, and said, "You have worked hard, go back and rest early."

Xie Jin then bowed and left silently.

The next morning, the eldest aunt, Xie Jin, Xu Qu, Huan Huan and Xiang Yue all came to Mrs. Xie's Jingyuan to see off the shopkeeper Cao and his wife. Mrs. Xie asked shopkeeper Cao to get the first batch of Xiangyunsha on the shelves as soon as possible. Shopkeeper Cao thought for a while and said, "There is a batch of goods on the way to Xijiang. We have an old relationship with them. We can talk to them to allocate some of the goods to you. But you need to send someone to Xijiang to transport it."

Mrs. Xie responded readily, "That's no problem. Thank you, Manager Cao, first."

After that, Mrs. Xie exchanged detailed information with Shopkeeper Cao about the quantity, location, date, etc. Moreover, Mrs. Xie took out the deposit that she had prepared long ago and gave it to Shopkeeper Cao, who was very happy and gave Mrs. Xie a thumbs up, saying that this partner was definitely the right choice.

After everything was settled, Mrs. Xie sent Manager Cao and his wife on a carriage to the governor's residence. Since Xie Jin was also involved in the invitation in the beginning, he also took another carriage to see them off.

Watching the departing carriage, Mrs. Xie finally let go of the burden in her heart and felt very happy.

The eldest aunt looked at Madam Xie and smiled, "My sister-in-law has a good niece. The Xiangyunsha matter was led by Bihua from the invitation to the reception to the negotiation. She is really capable and born to be a good mistress of the house."

Mrs. Xie smiled at her aunt and was about to say something, but her aunt said, "Unlike some people, who not only eat from their husband's family, but also do stupid things to discredit their husband's family. It's really..."

Before the eldest aunt finished speaking, Madam Xie interrupted her and said, "Sister, you have worked really hard these past few days. Let's discuss what to do next." Madam Xie pushed and pulled the eldest aunt back as she spoke. After two steps, she turned back and said to Xu Qu, Huanhuan, Xiangyue and the servants around them, "You have worked hard. Go back. Rest if you need to, and do your work if you need to."
