In the pavilion, Zhao Zhang and Bai Cao stood guard. Xie Jingxi knew that the two of them were worried, so she specifically allowed it. It was not convenient for a man and woman to be alone in the middle of the night either.

Manager Lu did not understand why Xie Jingxi called him over to meet him again. Now that he did not have Manager Cai by his side, he was even more embarrassed. He thought to himself that with his current state, Grand Mistress should not have any ideas, right?

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, her clothes which she had just changed were drenched in sweat, Xie Jingxi found it funny, but she did not greet him, and went straight to the point, "I have called Manager Lu here to discuss the matter regarding the ticket."

Another ticket number? Manager Lu thought that he saw a ghost. Why did this Young Master Gu Grandmother always pay attention to tickets? Didn't women have nothing to do after eating?

"Grand Mistress, actually, I do not know much about ticket numbers either. Do you think that you …"

"It doesn't matter if you don't know." Xie Jingxi laughed, "I don't mind telling Manager Lu that I intend to buy shares. Manager Lu has been in the Northwest region for a long time, and has been in more contact with these things than me, I can tell that Manager Lu is also interested, but do you have any plans to buy shares?"

How did she know he was interested? Manager Lu was very surprised, he had indeed had this thought, but it was only in private, after all it had nothing to do with Qing Hu, and was not something that could be said in public, if the owner mistakenly thinks that he has some sort of idea, then it would be bad, this Grand Mistress was really strange, she wanted to enter the stock market, did the young master know about this, shouldn't he say something?

Zhao Zhang and Bai Cao who were listening at the side were also extremely surprised, they had never heard of the Young Master mentioning it, what was the Madam planning? It would at least cost several hundred thousand taels of silver to buy the stock, and he didn't even know if he would earn or lose money. Why did he suddenly think of something like this?

Manager Lu said: Grand Mistress, allow me to be honest with you, I really do not know what the bill is for now, it is just causing a ruckus in the business circles, until now it has not gone to the northwest, aren't you taking too much risks by rashly investing in it?

Manager Lu, you have been hanging around in the business circles for a long time, how could you not take the risk in doing business? It is not because of a whim, I do not think that a ticket line is useless, the businessmen outside know how inconvenient it is to have a large amount of money, since it has its own reasons, with a ticket line, the first thing that will benefit you is our company, and then we can go down to the Li people. Those who have money on hand, no matter how many you have, they can all be stored away in a ticket line.

Manager Lu could not help but admit that the analysis of the Grand Mistress was all on point, even he, who had limited funds, had thought of it, let alone the Grand Mistress, who did not lack money. If it was as he had expected, it would not only be a small benefit, it would also be a great benefit to his descendants.

Manager Lu thought about it again and again before opening his mouth, "I wonder if Grand Mistress has any rules in mind? I won't hide it from you, I have indeed had the same thoughts as you, but I have been watching from the start, since buying shares is not a small amount, it's better to be cautious, if you really want, I do know a merchant Jia friend, he is planning to open a ticket number, and is currently paying a fee of four days, if Grand Mistress is truly interested, I can recommend him.

Xie Jingxi raised her eyebrows, "If it's really like that, then I will have to trouble Manager Lu to introduce me. If Manager Lu wants to buy shares, I can lend you the silver you bought, and in the future, when you earn more, you can return my capital.

Manager Lu opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "This … Grand Mistress, your actions are inappropriate, how could I receive such a great benefit from you, this … "

In the future, even if I wanted to buy shares, it would be inconvenient for me to take care of it myself. I will also have to trouble the Manager Lu, I feel very sorry for that.

How could the Manager Lu not be terrified, he was no different from a white wolf with empty gloves. Xie Jingxi was the one who paid for him, there was no interest even after she was done with it, and even if she paid, he still wouldn't come to him, it was like a pie falling from the sky! No, what was dropped was not a pie, what was dropped was completely gold!

Manager Lu was sweating profusely, he finally understood what was going on, and what he meant by that was solved by her with just a few words, how could he not agree? Furthermore, he had laid out his path of retreat well, and had blocked his path completely, if he said no now, wouldn't he be too ungrateful?

"Grand Mistress, this one is truly terrified. I didn't know that Eldest Young Master would …"

Xie Jingxi laughed, "Don't worry about this Manager Lu, I paid for the silver myself. Eldest Young Master will not have any objections, you can relax."

Zhao Zhang could not help but say that the silver was not paid for by the Grand Mistress, and the Young Master would not stop him, so the person in charge of this house had already changed!

"This, this one thanks Grand Mistress for her trust. Don't worry, I will do my best and won't let Grand Mistress suffer any losses." Since the other party trusted him so much, he would definitely do his best.

Xie Jingxi nodded her head in satisfaction. Manager Lu had a really good personality, he did not misjudge her, so the matter of the ticket number was already settled, he just needed to wait for Manager Lu to lead the way and everything would be settled.

Zhao Zhang personally saw Manager Lu out, and after a few times of speaking, he stopped. He wanted to ask something, but he didn't know how, and when Zhao Zhang saw that he still had some doubts, he patted his shoulder, "Manager Lu, our Grand Mistress is speaking in the same way as Eldest Young Master. Is it true that you did well, or not, when I said it like this, do you understand?"

Manager Lu quickly nodded his head, he was obviously a strong and calm man from the northwest, but today, he had sent a cold sweat for the rest of his life, thinking to himself, this capital city people are really strange, why do I feel like talking to them, my heart is not enough, and this young master is obviously an important official in the imperial court, why do I have to listen to a woman, is this what they meant by "trouble the nation"?

When Manager Lu walked far away, he couldn't help but turn around to take a glance. He had to admit in his heart that this Grand Mistress was quite courageous after all.

When Zhao Zhang went back, a subordinate had happened to report to him, so he rushed to report to her before Xie Jingxi left, "Madam, I just received a letter. Recently, there are indeed a lot of drug dealers at Yongping Mansion, take a look …"

"Ignore them. Our people just keep an eye on them in the dark. Don't let them get away with it."

"Yes, ma'am."

It just so happened that when Xie Jingxi came out, Gu Yun also went back to his house, he saw his wife from far away and quickly walked over and held her hand, "Did you specifically wait for me?"

"It's just a coincidence. I just finished talking to Manager Lu and coincidentally, you came back. Actually, I was planning on waiting for you for a while."

Gu Yun smiled and embraced her, "How was it today, are you tired?"

"Not bad, I didn't do anything. It was just that my clothes were a little stuffy."

Xie Jingxi told him everything that had happened today along the way, and Gu Yun laughed as he listened, "Xi can totally take charge of one side now. It looks like I won't even be needed to personally step in in the future, it's really good to have a wife."

Xie Jingxi rolled his eyes, "I have no confidence now, come and tease me less, I just want to take a risk, if I can get this ticket, the rest of our businesses can slowly fall out of our hands, our mental strength is limited, if we really do go back on track, it would be enough for us to have some money to live on, the larger businesses are just burdens, and with the stocks that Song Yanchen gave us, we would have nothing to do, it would be like having an investment for our daughter and giving her the rest of the shares, if that's the case, it would be making up to her, so it's up to her."

Gu Yun looked at her with her bright eyes, "Your thoughts are very thoughtful, and I think that making it so, you really wish that you can move into the countryside with Xi, choose an acre of fertile land, and grow some vegetables and some flowers. Watching the sun rise and moon set, you must feel very comfortable and content."

I hope he can wait for that day to come.

Xie Jingxi only thought that way, but she did not know what Gu Yun was thinking, she thought that Gu Yun was not well, he could not stay and hold a position in the imperial court forever, sooner or later, he would retire, as long as he did, she would not stay in the capital to live her days of hard work, hearing that Gu Yun had the same thoughts as her, she was extremely happy, and wanted to see the day that she would be able to live two lives like this.

Just now I heard from Zhao Zhang that the plans of the Yongping Estate are being carried out in an orderly fashion. If even the Zheng Family is making their move at the same time, the time for the Shen Family is about to come.

"This is a gamble between the three of us, nothing bad must happen to the Shen Family, we will get rid of it sooner or later, but Second Prince and Imperial Noble Consort Shen can still leave this place temporarily, other than Shen Family, His Majesty can be at ease, His Majesty is also afraid of Shen Family, do you think that he wants to see Shen Family standing alone, if we do not seize onto this idea, how can we make a move now?"

However, since His Majesty didn't like them either, it didn't mean that they had to completely get rid of their Shen Family. Who told the Shen Family tree to be so provocative, then don't blame others for being ruthless.

At the end of the month was the Second Prince's wedding day. Although no one from the Shen Family entered the capital, no matter what, people from the Xu Family did have to come, and Xie Jingxi had to return for drinks. This also meant that the leisurely days of her courtyard would have to temporarily come to an end, and she had to pack up her things, and prepare to return home.
