On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everything you see is joyful.

Song Jinshu prepared the New Year's money and waited for the red envelopes to be distributed.

The eldest sister is like a mother. Now she is the head of the family, and her younger sisters should wish her a happy new year.

After all her sisters had greeted her one by one, the purse in Song Jinshu's hand instantly deflated in half.

She gave a lot of silver and money as rewards to her servants, and she felt very painful.

However, Song Jinshu did not feel sad for long. On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Jingmo came to her house to settle the bill for selling mahjong and cotton clothes last year.

Judging from the popularity of these two items, the money is definitely needed.

Song Jinshu also started to spend money lavishly, and bought two sets of cloth for each of her sisters and aunts to make clothes.

The atmosphere in the mansion was very lively. Taking advantage of the Spring Festival holiday, she would go out for fun almost every day.

Sometimes I attend banquets hosted by county gentry, and sometimes I invite a few friends to go to the hot spring resort to soak in the hot springs and play mahjong.

Song Jinshu had fun and was extremely happy. This is how people should live!

Time flies by.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Song Jinshu did not go out to play as usual, but waited in the mansion drinking tea and eating cakes.

Around 9:00 a.m., Liu Jingmo finally arrived.

The servant received the notice and led him directly to the reception room, where Song Jinshu came upon hearing the news.

At first glance, a man dressed in fancy clothes came into view.

Song Jinshu's mouth twitched slightly. Is this a blind date?

"Are you here? Come and sit down!"

Liu Jingmo stood up and saluted respectfully, smiling and saying, "Elder sister!"

He took out an account book and a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket.

"Eldest sister, this is the account of our mahjong and cotton-padded clothes sales last year. Every single item is carefully recorded. We sold a thousand mahjong tables and six thousand cotton-padded clothes. Each mahjong table sold for fifty taels, and each cotton-padded coat sold for ten taels..."

"Totaling 50,000 taels for the mahjong and 60,000 taels for the cotton coat. After deducting the 30,000 taels cost, we got a total of 80,000 taels. According to the contract, you can get 40,000 taels..."

Liu Jingmo counted the accounts carefully, and Song Jinshu quickly skimmed through them. Even though she had an expectation in her mind, she was still surprised when she heard the number.

After all, this is not the income for a whole year. The mahjong can only be sold for half a year at most, and the cotton-padded clothes are even less. It has only been more than a month, and he has earned so much.

And the cost she paid was even less, mahjong cost almost nothing, and cotton cost negligible.

The money she took out was no more than a thousand taels at most, but her income reached fifty thousand taels.

What a huge profit!

Song Jinshu's head was buzzing as she held the silver note. She had spent so much money before, but she didn't expect that she would earn it back in less than half a year.

Moreover, all the construction work in Jingyang County was done without any loss. These banknotes were her legitimate gains and belonged to her private treasury.

From now on she will be a rich little lady!

"Is it true that I have become rich overnight? It's true! I am a rich woman!" Song Jinshu raised her hand and shouted.

She simply ignored the 100,000 yuan that the original owner had embezzled, and the 40,000 yuan in front of her was what she actually earned.

She can do this openly and honestly, with her head held high, throwing money at people without fear of being caught and beheaded!

Thinking of the days when she was walking on thin ice, Song Jinshu couldn't help but burst into tears, which shocked Liu Jingmo.

"Elder sister, how are you?"

Song Jinshu wiped away her tears with strength, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"Jing Mo! I was right about you. Keep working hard. Good fortune is yet to come for you and me!"

Liu Jingmo nodded blankly: "Yes! Don't worry, elder sister, I will work harder this year to sell our mahjong and cotton clothes even better!"

It turns out that there is a market for each of these two things.

Last year he was only in Shunan Prefecture and had not been to other prefectures.

He was a little disappointed with this profit. He would expand his market and sell further in a few days!

Liu Jingmo secretly encouraged himself. Of course, the prerequisite for doing this was to wait until after March.

Because March 20th is the day he and Bing'er get married.

Thinking of this, his heart was burning with joy, and he looked at Song Jinshu with eager and expectant eyes.

"Eldest sister, the capital city is very lively today. Can I take Bing'er out to take a look?"

After all, Song Yunbing is still unmarried. Although they are an engaged couple, it is too far to go to the provincial capital and they will definitely not be able to make it in time at night.

If he wanted to take people out, he had to inform Song Jinshu in advance.

Song Jinshu was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he asked the servant to call Song Yunbing over.

She is not a feudal and traditional person. When a young couple goes out to play together, she certainly will not play the bad guy.

Soon Song Yunbing arrived: "Elder sister."

When she saw Liu Jingmo, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, her cheeks flushed, and the two looked at each other affectionately.

Song Jinshu, who was standing between the two of them, felt particularly unhappy. This sour smell of love was really annoying!

She explained Liu Jingmo's purpose and asked Song Yunbing for his opinion.

Song Yunbing hesitated for a moment, and of course she was happy to go out and play with Liu Jingmo.

But my aunt said that girls should not be too proactive, they should be reserved and maintain a sense of mystery, otherwise men will not cherish them.

"I..." Song Yunbing gritted her teeth and opened her mouth. She wanted to refuse but then she saw Liu Jingmo's pitiful look and stopped talking.

She took a deep breath and thought, well, they were about to get married, why should she be so reserved now?

"Eldest sister, I want to be with Mo Lang."

Song Jinshu nodded, thinking that more contact between the two before getting married could also enhance their relationship.

"Go! Remember to be safe~"

Both of them blushed at the same time. Song Yunbing gritted her teeth and asked softly, "Mo Lang said the city is bustling. Do you want to go with us, elder sister?"

Song Jinshu paused, feeling somewhat tempted. Liu Jingmo also advised, "Yes, elder sister! I heard that many foreign merchants have come to the capital recently, bringing with them many new and novel things that we have never seen before."

He remembered that Song Jinshu liked things he had never seen before.

Sure enough, Song Jinshu was completely moved. Hu Shang was from another country, and she always wanted something that the Jinghe Dynasty did not have.

If we can dig out sweet potato seedlings, we will have more new high-yield grain this year.

If it is finally presented to the emperor and promoted throughout the dynasty, how many people can it feed?

"Okay! Then I'll go take a look too. Since we're going, why not go as a family? Second sister, go ask the other sisters if they want to go and play. If they do, bring them along!"

Song Yunbing responded with a smile, looked at Liu Jingmo lovingly, and went downstairs to find someone.

Liu Jingmo almost lost his soul at this glance. The beautiful woman's back disappeared for a long time, but she kept looking around.

"Don't look! Go on your own dates when you get to the capital."

She really didn't realize that Liu Jingmo was actually a love-brained person. She was even worried that her second sister would be deceived by him.

But the two of them have a deep relationship, and she is very happy.

The main thing is that she has a secure position and can still control the Liu family. As long as she is around, her sisters will never be bullied.
