Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Qianqiu Trading Company was originally run by her maternal grandfather's cousin, but when the business failed and was about to collapse, it was her mother who single-handedly saved it.

Today, Qianqiu Trading Company has become one of the top trading companies in Daning State. It is no exaggeration to say that it is rich enough to rival a country.

All the shop owners were promoted by her mother. They can get dividends from the shop's profits every year, but in the final analysis, the shop belongs to the business and it belongs to her!

Everyone present was shocked.

Old Shen's face suddenly changed, and he slammed the table and stood up. "What? You want to replace me? I've been running the grain store for Mr. Ling for over a decade. We have fifty or sixty grain stores outside of Kyoto! You want to replace me with just one sentence? Why?"

"Qianqiu Trading Company treats the old shopkeeper so poorly, aren't you afraid that the people present will be disappointed?"

Jiang Ningwan calmly watched Old Shen lose his temper, then slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Old Shen lost his temper, but seeing Jiang Ningwan calm and composed, he felt a little panicked, but finally calmed down.

Everyone looked at Jiang Ningwan, waiting for her next words.

Jiang Ningwan didn't even look at Old Shen again.

"Yunniang, Mantingfang has a large stockpile of emerald feather yarn. We'll stockpile as much as we can and sell it after April next year. We'll only sell ten pieces a month."

Next year, the production of Cui Yu Sha will be discontinued due to material reasons. The rarer the item, the more sought after it will be by the nobles of Kyoto, and it will be difficult to find a piece of cloth.

Hearing this, Yunniang felt puzzled, but still nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Old Shen was stunned. For a moment, he didn't know what the young master was thinking. Why did he ignore him? Was he really planning to replace him?

"Old Zhao, has your Yuquan Study received any calligraphy from a scholar named Liu Yichen this year?"

Old Zhao was shocked that the eldest lady even knew this.

"I received two paintings not long ago and put them up for sale in my study."

Jiang Ningwan immediately said, "No need to sell it on his behalf, just buy it directly. Give him whatever he needs. If possible, leave all his calligraphy works in Yuquan Study."

Next year, Liu Yichen will become famous throughout the world for a painting of a beauty, and his fame will rise rapidly. At that time, his calligraphy will also be sought after.

With Old Shen's experience as an example, everyone was very cooperative at this time, and Old Zhao immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll remember that."

Jiang Ningwan then added, "One more thing. I asked Doctor Hong to prepare some medicine for everyone. You can take it when you have a cold or fever after the New Year. Don't save it."

When everyone heard this, they just thought that Jiang Ningwan was concerned about them and didn't investigate further.

"If there's nothing else, let's go back and rest."

Everyone stood up and left one after another.

Only Old Shen seemed to have something to say, but after hesitating for a moment, he walked away with resentment.

Doctor Hong sighed upon seeing this, "Old Shen's temper is getting worse and worse."

"Don't mind, Miss. I'll try to persuade him later."

Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "I won't take it to heart. He just doesn't accept me and doesn't want to listen to me. I can only be tough."

These shopkeepers are all reliable. Although Old Shen has a bad temper and is a little dissatisfied with the younger generation, once he decides on someone, he will stick to his word.

"Doctor Hong, I have something else to tell you privately."

"Please speak, Miss."

"Starting now, stock up on fever-reducing and detoxifying herbs. The more the better."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Hong sensed something was amiss, and he was filled with doubts about what the eldest lady had just instructed the shopkeepers to do.

Now the mention of hoarding medicinal materials makes him even more uneasy. Large-scale use of medicinal materials means that a large number of people will get sick.

"What news did you receive, Miss?"

Jiang Ningwan was reluctant to speak directly, but only speculated, "The floods in the south are severe, and there might be a major epidemic after the natural disaster. Many people have caught a cold this winter, so it's best to prepare some common fever-reducing and detoxifying herbs!"

Hearing this, Doctor Hong nodded thoughtfully, "Miss, please prepare for a rainy day. I will make arrangements when I get back."

"Is Master busy recently?" Jiang Ningwan asked.

Doctor Hong suddenly remembered something and took out a set of needle bags and a medical book from his pocket and handed them to her, "He gave this to you."

"He's been seeing patients lately and plans to leave Kyoto in a few days. I'm afraid he won't have time to give it to you personally."

"This is his medical record from many years of practice. He said that with your qualifications, there's no need to teach you anything else, so he'll leave this to you."

Jiang Ningwan accepted the things and opened them to take a look. They were all very valuable medical records, recording many difficult and complicated diseases and acupuncture treatment methods.

This book is priceless.

"I don't know when we'll meet again. Please tell Master not to go to Huainan."

Doctor Hong smiled and nodded, "Okay."

"Miss, there's no need to be sad. He's already used to traveling the world. Kyoto can't keep him. We'll meet again if fate allows."

……

After a busy day, Jiang Ningwan returned home and did some accounting. The rent she collected today plus the profit from Qianqiu Trading Company's business, minus the funds needed for the goods of the major shops next year, she had more than 300,000 taels of money available for her to use at will.

Even if we include the money earned from the business before, there is no way we can spend it all.

A few days later, Huichuntang sent a large batch of medicinal materials. Jiang Ningwan prepared a few doses of medicine and sent them to the Wu Bohou Mansion, and also gave acupuncture to Wu Bohou's wife.

After the acupuncture, the wife of Marquis Wu Bo clearly felt that the pain was much relieved. "Miss Jiang's acupuncture skills are no less than that of Doctor Qiu!"

Jiang Ningwan said modestly, "Madam, you are too kind. I still have a lot to learn."

At this moment, Pei Xunzhi rushed into the room and grabbed Jiang Ningwan's arm, "Great news!"

"what?"

"The Third Prince has entered the palace, accusing the Huainan Governor, Meng Yunzhang, of embezzling disaster relief funds. Tens of thousands of gold and silver were discovered in his vaults. He had plundered the people's wealth and amassed countless fortunes! The evidence is irrefutable, and the Emperor has ordered Meng Yunzhang's property confiscated and beheaded!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's heart was shocked.

The third prince has returned to Beijing!

It's done!

"I never imagined that the Third Prince would uncover such a major case while going to Huainan to provide disaster relief!"

"Moreover, the third prince also brought back an important item. Can you guess what it is?" Pei Xunzhi could not hide his excitement and happiness.

Jiang Ningwan was puzzled, "What?"

Pei Xunzhi said in a resounding voice: "Book of Ten Thousand Peoples!"

"The fifty thousand taels of silver you gave as a dowry helped thousands of disaster victims. They spontaneously wrote a letter to the people praising your merits!"

"This incident shocked the government and the public! The news will probably spread quickly."

Jiang Ningwan was shocked when she heard this. This was beyond her expectations.

I guess the Third Prince did it on purpose.

He said that the 50,000 taels must be made known to the emperor and the people of the world, and that was what he did.

"Oh, right, the Third Prince has been commended, and you have also made contributions. The Emperor will definitely reward you! Go back quickly!"

Pei Xunzhi talked to himself and quickly pulled her out.

Just then the maid came to report: "Miss, someone has come out of the palace."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xunzhi immediately ordered, "Bring the horses here, quickly!"

Seeing that Pei Xunzhi was even more anxious than she was, Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but feel happy. At such a happy moment, having someone to share her joy made her feel less lonely.

"Come with me." Jiang Ningwan held Pei Xunzhi's hand.

Pei Xunzhi was a little surprised, then smiled gently, "Okay, okay, let's go!"

The two men mounted their horses and rode away, one in front and one behind.

At the same time, the news was also passed back to the general's mansion.

When Princess Yi learned that someone had come to the palace, she quickly dressed up and said, "Great, there's a reward from the palace."

Lu Qingheng had been cutting down on expenses recently, and even the charcoal fire had been cut off, only being available at night. Her body couldn't stand the cold, and she was almost unable to bear it.

Now that there is a reward from the palace, she can finally live a good life.

After getting ready, Princess Yi, supported by Nanny Xun, quickly came to the gate and waited quietly in the cold wind for the reward to come.

But by the time I was frozen all over, no one came.

"According to the route, we should be there. Send someone to check it out."

After a while, the person sent out came to report: "People from the palace have gone to Jiang's house with the reward."

Upon hearing this, Princess Yi was shocked and took a step back.

His face turned pale as he angrily said, "Jiang Ningwan is the daughter-in-law of our Qin family. How can we not send the reward for her to our house?"
