Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Duan Hongyi himself didn't care, but in order to protect Xiao Wan, he tried his best to restrain himself from looking for her. Even so, he was still discovered by Qin Wuqing's people.

The person Qin Wuqing placed next to Duan Hongyi was the dowry guard given to her by the Qin family, and he was also a meticulous person.

This time, he also keenly discovered that there was something unusual about the relationship between his brother-in-law and the peasant girl named Xiao Wan, and that his brother-in-law was a little too concerned about her.

So he passed the news back to the capital. Qin Wuqing looked at Nanny Wang and asked with some worry, "Nanny, do you think he really sold the red beans for a peasant girl?"

Nanny Wang said cautiously, "Madam, that's not necessarily true. She's just a peasant girl, so she's definitely not that good-looking. Besides, Hongdou is frivolous by nature. Maybe she caused trouble for her son-in-law, so he sold her out."

Qin Wuqing thought that this was the case. At that time, she thought Hongdou was frivolous and not very good-looking, barely average.

Besides, the indentures of the whole family were in his hands so it was easier to control them, so he sent her there. Who knew she would be useless?

Maybe she really offended her husband and was sold to those shady places.

This unsatisfactory thing!

Hongdou was unlucky. Before she could report the matter to her master Xiao Wan, she was gagged and sold out.

Well, she was just a peasant girl, and it was normal for her to be curious about something new when she was away from home. She told Nanny Wang to tell her people to keep a close eye on Duan Hongyi.

If this peasant girl doesn't know what's good for her and tries to get close to her husband, then don't blame me for being ruthless.

The attendant replied that her husband seemed to have noticed her arrangements for the personnel.

But Qin Wuqing is not afraid, because the collapse of the Duan family's business is in her hands.

Qin Wuqing thought proudly, picked up the porcelain bowl and started eating the bird's nest.

Wang Ma was left alone to worry secretly. It would be difficult for a couple to stay together in this way for long.

It is said that Duan Hongyi secretly ordered Duan Qing to take people to deal with the saltpeter matter. He bought this saltpeter mine accidentally. Even Duan's father didn't know about it. He just bought it casually because of the beautiful scenery of the village. He didn't expect that it would become his gold mine.

Duan Qing was loyal to him, so Duan Hongyi felt relieved to have him handle this matter.

It is just the beginning of summer now, and the summer in Beijing should not be underestimated. It is like a scorching heat tiger.

Many wealthy families need to use a lot of ice, but ice is not cheap. Since he has a saltpeter mine, Xiao Wan also told him that saltpeter can be reused.

So what is he waiting for? If the selling price is a little cheaper, there will be no worries about people not coming to buy. He can make a fortune in the summer alone. There are many wealthy families in Beijing.

So before the weather got hot, the first batch of ice cubes became famous and were sold out immediately after the news was released.

The buyers are all satisfied. After all, there is a great demand for ice, and the price was particularly high in previous years. This year the ice is so cheap that they can buy more to use.

Those concubines don’t need to be jealous of each other anymore, because you have what I don’t.

Duan Hongyi struck while the iron was hot and stepped up the production of ice. Before the beginning of the dog days of summer, Duan Hongyi sent Xiao Wan the first batch of share from ice sales: 20,000 taels of silver.

Xiao Wan took the banknote. Although she was making money now, she was still very excited compared to getting 20,000 taels of banknotes in one go.

Not to mention Duan Hongyi, he got 70% of the share, which means he got more than 100,000 taels of silver in one go. His saltpeter mine is now equivalent to a gold mine, and all this is thanks to Xiao Wan.

This way, my words will carry more weight in front of that person, and as long as I can help, I will be credited in the end.

He looked at Xiao Wan with burning eyes, and the urgency in his heart became even stronger.

Xiao Wan put away the banknotes, but on the way home she couldn't control her excitement and joy. She was rich, she was rich.

Qilixiang had already started to open its second branch within a month. Xiao Wan sent Xiao Zhener and Chen Qing to take Xiao Er and Xiao San to look after the store, and also bought two kitchen maids.

Several people were very busy.

Half a month after Qilixiang opened, it was almost stable. At the end of the month, Xiao Wan paid everyone their wages.

Except for Chen Youli's thirty taels of silver, everyone else was paid ten taels of silver, which made everyone laugh with joy.

The two maids never thought that the wages could be so high. When they worked for other families before, they could only earn two taels of silver a month at most.

This boss was too generous. Mingyue and Wanxia stared at the silver in their hands with red eyes.

After wandering for so long, the two finally settled down in the Xiao family. The master was a kind person. Although the work was a bit tiring, the master treated them as human beings, unlike before when they worked like slaves and had little food or clothing.

The two men looked at each other and were about to kneel down and kowtow to Xiao Wan, but Xiao Wan quickly supported them.

She scolded him, "What are you doing? I earned money, so shouldn't I pay you wages? You did a good job, so I paid you so much. You deserve it."
