The general kneels on the washboard again

Because the weather is so fickle, it was sunny yesterday, but today the north wind suddenly blew, and I realized that the twelfth lunar month has arrived.

Yue Niang assigned Ah Qi a task: "Go and rescue your companions. If they are willing to come back with you, that would be great."

Ah Qi took the silver and left the yard.

Wenshu is full of ideals and is also efficient in her work. In fact, running a private school does not require government approval. For fear of troubles in the future, Yueniang and Wenshu decided to report it to the village head.

And they planned to have everything brand new, and the deeds to the land and the house would have to be rectified by Tori.

Wen Shu walked in with big strides, unable to hide her joy: "Yue Niang, I've picked out an address, come over and take a look."

Yue Niang was planning to go to Pinmingju to take a look, as she hadn't been there for a long time.

Seeing Wen Shu coming, he slowed down his pace on the way out.

As soon as Wen Shu came in, he started talking to Yue Niang: "Yue Niang, you don't know how good this address is. It's right next to the academy in town."

Yue Niang also thought there was nothing wrong with it. They were both schools, so being closer wouldn't hurt. But apart from the money, Wen Shu took on all the school affairs. Could he be facing some hardship? That's when she asked.

"Have you discussed this with the host?"

Wen Shu shook her head helplessly: "Not yet. That piece of land is the private property of the wife of the headmaster of Qingshi Academy."

There is only one academy in Qingshi Town, and that is Qingshi Academy. The principal of Qingshi Academy is Shen Jinli, who is the favorite student of the previous principal and passed the imperial examination in his early years.

Yue Niang was puzzled. If she knew whose private property it was, why did Wen Shu still look so helpless? "Is it that this Madam Shen doesn't want to sell it?"

Wen Shu's smile froze. "This Madam Shen is the former headmaster's youngest daughter, her maiden name Du Huaixiang. Although she's the headmaster's daughter, she has no manners at all and hates women who can read and write."

Yue Niang raised her voice: "Why is this?"

Wen Shu said: "This Shanzhang Shen passed the imperial examination in his early years, and Madam Du stayed in Qingshi Town to take care of her parents-in-law. However, Shanzhang Shen is a playboy and he even had an affair with a concubine's daughter of a civil servant in Kyoto.

Later, this Lady Du went to the capital and forced the official's daughter to the point of shame and wanting to jump into the river. Later, for some unknown reason, Shen Shanzhang gave up the splendor of the capital and returned with Lady Du.

"What about Miss Guan?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but an unmarried official's daughter, after such a disturbance, would probably be hanged. I had the good fortune to visit her house a few years ago, but when she heard I was a teacher at the girls' school, she immediately kicked me out. I'm afraid the same result would come my way this time."

"Even after all this trouble, Shanzhang Shen still hasn't written a letter of divorce?"

"How can he divorce her? Madam Du has taken care of his parents alone and even gave birth to three sons for him. Even if Shen Shanzhang really gets married with that woman, she is still the wife and can decide whether a concubine stays or goes."

They both sighed at the same time.

Yue Niang also comforted Wen Shu: "Sister Shu, I will find a way to deal with this matter. You can go and take care of other things first."

Yue Niang packed up and decided to go to the town to take a look. After all, it was time to harvest the things at the Yingke Tower.

Jiang Yunxiao had a slight fever this morning, and thought he had caught a cold, so he went to see Doctor Mo to get some medicine for him.

Shopkeeper Jin had been waiting at Pinmingju for a long time. Two years ago, Yue Niang cut off his tea business and teamed up with Shopkeeper Sun from Cuixinlou to launch a series of new dishes and "promotional activities".

The Yingke Building had been running at a loss for a long time, and in order to save face, he almost put his own coffin lid into the wall.

I heard yesterday that Yue Niang was interested in acquiring the company, so I came running over here happily.

Ruoyan took special care to arrange him in the unused corner near the backyard, closest to the toilet.

As soon as Yue Niang entered the room, Shopkeeper Jin came up to greet her: "Shopkeeper Fu."

Yue Niang frowned and said, "Manager Jin, what's that smell on you? I have guests here. Let's talk later."

Shopkeeper Jin was not arrogant today: "Okay, then Shopkeeper Fu, you go ahead and do your work. Waiter, bring me another tea tray."

The waiter he called was actually Zhao Xiaoming. Zhao Xiaoming narrowed his eyes, raised his lips, and looked him up and down: "It's the rules of our store. Pay the money first."

Yue Niang felt very happy in her heart. What goes around comes around. No one can escape this fate.

Shopkeeper Jin handed over the silver in disappointment and sat back in his little corner.

Yue Niang deliberately left him alone until the door was almost bolted, then she let him into the private room on the second floor.

"What's the matter, Mr. Jin? Why don't you get straight to the point?"

Shopkeeper Jin didn't dare show his losses today: "I heard that Shopkeeper Fu wanted to buy a shop, so I volunteered."

"Oh, I do have that plan, but the feud between you and me, Shopkeeper Jin, isn't the kind of relationship that could lead to business. How could I dare to buy your shop? What if you try to trip me up behind my back?"

Shopkeeper Jin looked ashamed and said, "This..."

Facing his confusion, Yue Niang also said, "But this matter is not beyond discussion."

Seeing hope, Shopkeeper Jin hurriedly asked, "Shopkeeper Fu, what do you say?"

Yue Niang didn't beat around the bush: "I heard that your wife and Shen Shanzhang's wife are very close. I have something I want to ask her."

"Of course, my wife will know everything. I'll go and call her over."

Shopkeeper Jin ran out in a hurry and came back after a while with his wife.

Yue Niang got the information she wanted from the wife of Manager Jin, and naturally agreed to the acquisition.

Fifty taels of silver was enough to hire her as a waiter, but Yue Niang didn't dare to ask for such a salary and refused repeatedly.

Looking at the appearance of Shopkeeper Jin, he must have suffered a lot in the past two years, and his words and actions have become much more restrained.

As for Yingkelou, he planned to open a barbecue restaurant, which would not conflict with Manager Sun’s business, so the contract was handed over to Li An.

What Yue Niang is thinking about now is what Madam Du has been worried about recently. The wife of the shopkeeper Jin is quite kind and told Yue Niang that Madam Du has been troubled by body odor for many years.

In modern times, taking frequent baths and spraying more perfume can cover up most of the problems, or you can have surgery to get rid of them once and for all.

The flowers planted in her own yard can be used to make perfume, but this kind of perfume is very popular on the market. If Madam Du uses it well, she won't have this trouble.

Suddenly, Yue Niang thought of the "ambergris" that she had seen once in Yunzhou. It is a good material for making perfume.

But it is indeed difficult to find something worth only one ounce of gold, which is priceless.

The group went to Guangrentang to get prescriptions and medicine and then returned to Nanshan Village.

Jiang Yunxiao was so sick that he was confused and had a fever again in the evening, which scared Mother Ji because she was a precious person.

It just so happened that Yue Niang and her group came back.

"Miss, you are finally back. I think the young master is in a bad condition."

Yue Niang gave the medicine to Mother Ji: "Mother Ji, don't worry, boil the medicine first, I'll go and take a look."

When I arrived at Jiang Yunxiao's room, I saw the quilt scattered on the floor and he was sweating all over. He was sweating, so he definitely couldn't kick the quilt.

Yue Niang picked up the quilt and covered Jiang Yunxiao with it again.

Ruoyan also came in with a basin of water: "Yue Niang, put this towel on the young master's head to cool him down."

The quilt was back on his body. Jiang Yunxiao slept uneasily. He opened his eyes in a daze and talked nonsense.

"No, mother, I'm not going to copy books. I'm going to practice with the spear."

Yue Niang was amused. This guy really loves practicing martial arts.

That night, Yue Niang stayed by Jiang Yunxiao's side, covering him with a quilt and feeding him medicine. Her eyes were red from staying up all night.

Jiang Yunxiao is a martial artist after all, so his physical fitness is naturally excellent. He will be fine after drinking the medicine and covering himself up overnight.
