The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

In the afternoon, when Madam Zhang heard that Jingxue had invited her whole family to stay at the shop, she could hardly believe her ears. "Miss, I have a lot of people in my family, old and young. I just need to get up early every day. You've already taken good care of me! I..."

“Zhang Niangzi, it’s not safe for a woman like you to work so early and late. I have another idea. Once your mother-in-law’s eyes are better, I’d like her to set up a stall in front of the grain store, specializing in roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes. That way, people who come to buy grain can have some hot food, and you can earn some hard-earned money!”

Madam Zhang was about to kneel down again, but Jingxue quickly stopped her. "Madam Zhang, it's not easy for you, a woman, to take care of the elderly and children! Work hard, and you'll get the same pay as the shop assistants!"

“No, Miss, I don’t want wages. My family of four eats at the shop, how can I ask for wages? I’ll do some embroidery in the evening, and that should be enough to cover Daming’s tuition!” said Madam Zhang.

“Doing needlework at night strains your eyes. You don’t want to be blind when your son becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination, do you? It’s settled then,” Jingxue said, patting Zhang Niangzi’s hand.

Jingxue took out another 5 taels of silver. "Take this money and buy some winter clothes for the children and the elderly. Don't worry! Things will get better!"

Zhang Niangzi's tears flowed uncontrollably. "Miss, deduct this money from my wages! Otherwise, I won't take it!"

"Take this. Your husband sacrificed his life for the country. He protected our lives. This money is for you voluntarily!"

When her husband was mentioned, Zhang Niangzi could no longer hold back her sobs!

Jingxue's eyes also welled up with tears. If this were modern times, the country would not ignore the widows of martyrs like her!

Ugh……

Finally, Madam Zhang stopped crying. "Miss, I'm so sorry! I've made you laugh!"

Jingxue waved her hand, "I'll go talk to Manager Cai and ask him to vacate a room for you. Zhang Daming is a boy, so can he stay with Manager Cai? Is that alright?"

Madam Zhang nodded, "We'll listen to you, Miss. If it weren't for Da Ming's future imperial examinations, I would sell myself into servitude to you. But don't worry! I'll definitely do my best!"

Jingxue laughed, "If you do something treacherous, I won't show any mercy! I trust my eyes to judge people. So, are you moving this afternoon or tomorrow?"

"Miss, either way is fine! I'm just worried about delaying the shop's business!" Madam Zhang said, her eyes red.

"Then I'll go tell Manager Cai that you wait here. Once you're settled, I'll come and treat your mother-in-law's eyes when I have time!"

"Thank you so much, Miss!"

Jingxue called Runyue and Yingying to the front, where the shop was still bustling.

When Manager Cai saw Jingxue and the other two come out, he quickly walked over.

"Manager Cai, could you please make room for Madam Zhang's family? They have a son studying at the academy who can stay with you tonight, is that alright?"

"No problem! Miss, when will they move in?"

Jingxue said, "You should discuss it with Madam Zhang and see what she thinks. The sooner the better!"

"In addition, for the grains and vegetables we recently launched, the grains are still limited to 10 jin each, and potatoes and sweet potatoes are limited to 50 jin each. You can take the 20 jin or less from the store, and send the 20 jin or more to the warehouse! This will reduce your pressure!"

"I'm afraid Cheng Sanxiang won't be able to handle it all!" Manager Cai had considered things quite thoroughly.

Jingxue looked back at the shop and saw that everyone was busy; there was no one idle. "If it's not working, go buy two more people!"

Seeing Jingxue's worried expression, Manager Cai said, "Miss, if we buy more people, there won't be enough room for them to live. Don't worry, this servant will arrange it according to the situation! The beauty salon is opening tomorrow, and you'll be very busy! This servant will take care of things here!"

Jingxue rubbed her temples. "Alright! Thank you for your hard work, Manager Cai!"

Back at the beauty salon, I saw that a platform had been set up in front of the door, and more than a dozen colorful flags were tied up and fluttering in the wind!

Wow! The atmosphere just jumped up like crazy!

The beauty salon's signboard was covered with red silk, and several girls inside were trying on their uniforms, which were pink and white striped dresses.

Runyue and Yingying looked at their older sisters wearing the same clothes and couldn't help but feel envious!

"Don't you both have pink dresses too? Wear them tomorrow!" Xiaoman came over to comfort the two little ones.

Leap Moon nodded, "Yes! Sister Xiaoman, don't you think it would look great if we wore pink clothes and did our exercises together?"

"Oh dear! It's a leap month, so we can only do those exercises at home!" Xiaoman patted the little girl's shoulder.

Jingxue was looking at a newly added framed picture on the wall that read "Making a fortune every day".

Manager Peng walked over and said, "Master, this was sent by Prince Qin. He said he would like to congratulate us on our grand opening tomorrow. However, since this is a women's shop, it is inconvenient for a grown man like him to come over, so he will not be coming tomorrow!"

"okay!"

"Little girl, what did you just say about doing aerobics? Can you show me?" Manager Peng asked Runyue.

Jingxue didn't participate in their conversation. Since she had entrusted everything to Manager Peng, she didn't want to get too involved and turned to go to the general store.

After telling Lixia about the situation with Manager Cai, Jingxue suggested that if all else fails, they could just buy another courtyard!

The meaning of Lixia is similar to that of Manager Cai: let's see how things go first!

Jingxue asked Lixia to bring her paper and pen and drew several small bags for carrying lunch boxes. She then asked Lixia to send them to the fabric shop to be processed and sold together with insulated lunch boxes. As for the price, they could set it themselves, and the profits would all go to the fabric shop!

Just then, Xiaoman arrived with Runyue and Yingying. Jingxue noticed that it was getting late, and the carriage that had taken them in the morning had already gone back.

Li Xia then told the servants to drive the carriage over here to take them back to the palace.

With six people suddenly gone, Jingning Garden became deserted. Xiaoman was busy lighting a fire and cooking, while Jingxue sent Runyue to find the steward and ask him to prepare a carriage for tomorrow.

She went to Lao Guo's courtyard. Lao Guo's wife was recovering well. Lao Guo said she had passed gas in the morning and had drunk some rice soup.

She left a few more days' worth of oral medication for Lao Guo's wife. Jingxue said she had something to do tomorrow and wouldn't be coming over, reminding her to take the medicine on time and to come see her again if she felt unwell.

When we returned to Jingning Garden, Xiaoman had already taken the two little ones to pick up An'an!

Perhaps having gotten used to having many people around these past few days, Jingxue felt that they really should add two more people to help Xiaoman. Although the three children were basically able to take care of themselves, there was still a lot of housework to do!

After Xiaoman and the others returned, An'an said that the academy had given them a month-long holiday called "Royal Clothing Holiday," which was to allow students to go home and prepare winter clothes.

When Jingxue finished tidying up in the evening and entered her space, she felt much better when she saw the newly added items in red text on the screen!
