After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

In the book, Xie Lingdi made a lot of money by improving the loom, and helped Murong Qing get in touch with a powerful eunuch in the weaving bureau, increasing his status in the family.

Xie Lingdi and Murong Qing's relationship became closer, and Murong Qing expressed his love for her for the first time.

Originally, Xie Linghe did not remember this incident, but Xie Lingdi's attack on Xie Boyuan made her extremely angry, so she tried hard to recall the contents of the book and wanted to deal with her.

then.

She dug this matter up.

In the book, the improved loom was presented in September by the powerful eunuch godfather on his birthday.

It was already September, and Xie Linghe didn't know whether his eunuch godfather's birthday had passed.

If he failed, Murong Qing and Xie Lingdi would be lucky enough to discover this, which would make them very sad, or at best, create a rift between them.

If it is too much, that's the best. It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain, and eunuchs are the worst of the villains, and it is enough for them to suffer a lot.

Xie Linghe himself can also make some money with this improved weaving.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Actually, she knew about this improved loom thanks to the author of the novel.

In order to show that he wrote the book with his heart, the author specially inserted the drawings of the improved loom into the book. Xie Linghe was bored at the time and studied it for a long time.

Think of this.

Xie Linghe chuckled and murmured, "Isn't this what you call a mother killing her own daughter?"

shook his head.

She looked towards Jinxiufang in front of her and muttered to herself, "Since I can't do business with a large weaving shop, I can only choose a small one. I'm weak, and a small weaving shop can't charge too much. There's a famous saying: If capitalists have 100% profit, they will take risks."

"So I have to pretend to be unworldly and make a little money."

"So, the most important thing is - how many small weaving workshops are there in Suzhou Prefecture?"

Done.

An old woman dressed as the Weaver Girl walked out of Jinxiufang. She quickly ate the last piece of tofu and followed him.

All the way.

Turned a few corners.

As they were about to enter an alley, Xie Linghe was about to call for help, but before she could, the old woman in front of her turned around, nervous and terrified: "Who are you? Why are you following me?! What do you want to do?"

This is scary!

Xie Linghe slapped his head suddenly, trying his best to show his kindness, and explained: "Don't be afraid, auntie, I have something I want to ask you."

The old woman's face remained alert.

Xie Linghe quickly reached into his clothes and was about to pull his hand out when the man on the other side retreated in fear, begging for mercy: "Please don't kill me! I have elderly people and children at home to take care of. If I die, they won't be able to survive!"

Xie Linghe was stunned.

The old woman pleaded with her eyes: "Master~"

uncle?

Xie Linghe suddenly understood something.

She quickly pulled her hand out and spread it out. Inside was a handful of copper coins, about twenty or so. She looked directly at the old woman and said in the gentlest tone possible, "Auntie, I'm sincere."

See this.

The old woman's eyes widened in disbelief.

then.

Her expression visibly relaxed. Although still a little wary, she had calmed down a lot. "Sir, I'm an old woman. How can I help you?"

Xie Linghe also breathed a sigh of relief: We are finally getting to the point.

"That's it."

She made up a lie: "My family is from the north. We run a cloth business. We're new here and don't know the types of weaving shops in Suzhou. When I saw you coming out of Jinxiufang, I wanted to ask you about it."

Hear the words.

Li E felt completely relaxed.

"Oh, about that. I've been a weaver for forty years. I can't guarantee anything else, but there's nothing in the weaving workshop in Suzhou Prefecture that I don't know about."

talking.

She explained in detail, "Today, Suzhou Prefecture has a total of four major weaving workshops, all of which are affiliated with the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau. They are: Jinxiufang, Xiuluofang, Luoshangfang, and Fuhuafang."

"These four workshops account for 80% of the textile business."

"The remaining 20% ​​will be taken up by the remaining 22 small and medium-sized weaving workshops."

Hear this.

Xie Linghe's face turned serious.

Her real purpose is these small and medium-sized weaving workshops.

Li E continued, "There are eight medium-sized companies in total, namely..."

"..."

"That's about it."

After listening.

Xie Linghe recalled the situation and smiled sincerely. "I have a general understanding of the situation of the Suzhou Prefecture Weaving Workshop. Aunt, thank you so much."

"It's just a little token of my appreciation, please accept it."

Li E looked at the copper coin handed to him, his eyes flashing with excitement. He glanced at Xie Linghe's tall and thin figure, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to take it: "Then the old woman will shamelessly accept it."

Xie Linghe laughed: "As I should."

Then, she said very considerately: "Auntie, I won't bother you anymore. I'll take my leave now."

Done.

Just turn around and leave.

Behind.

Li E took a deep breath, turned around and ran away.

the other side.

Although Xie Linghe turned around and walked out, he kept some eyes on the back and naturally noticed Li E's movements. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

No matter what era it is, women naturally have a fear of men. After all, the power gap between the two sides is too huge.

Calm your mind.

She thought about what Li E had just told her: there were eight medium-sized weaving workshops in total and fourteen small weaving workshops in total.

Among the eight companies, four have official backgrounds.

The remaining four are pure merchants, and most of them are ancestral businesses.

They are: Qingshanfang, Xiangyunzhuang, Yunxiuqing and Silk Clothes Guest.

These four companies are Xie Linghe’s first choice.

There are fourteen weaving workshops left, but none of them have much influence. If she is free tomorrow, she will visit them all.

I have a plan in mind.

Xie Linghe felt much more relaxed, but at the same time, he began to feel sleepy.

"Xiao Xi, what time is it?"

The system always appeared first and replied: "Replying to the host, it is now 8:50 pm."

this late?!

Xie Linghe was startled and quickened his pace towards the inn.

The door of the inn.

The waiter saw her and complained for a while: "Sir, you are finally back. I was about to close the shop."

Xie Linghe smiled good-naturedly, "The Suzhou Night Market was incredibly lively. I was so engrossed I couldn't leave."

talking.

He handed over a few coins and said, "Brother Xiaoer, please get me some bath water."

See copper coins.

The waiter accepted it at lightning speed with a warm smile on his face: "No problem."

"Sir, please go back inside and sit for a while. I'll get you some hot water."

"Ok."

Money can make the world go round.

After a while, the hot water came.

She took a comfortable bath, changed into fresh clothes, and fell asleep as soon as she got into bed.

A dreamless night.

The next day.

The system's voice woke her up: "Host, it's seven o'clock."
