Fei Qinfan was really excited when he thought about how he could more or less control the information channel of the capital. Su Wan was right, how long was he going to act as the useless and free-spirited brother of the crown prince? He needed to get his act straight up!
He looked at Su Wan and then said, " Wait for me, I will talk about this with my brother." Though he did not know whether or not his brother was going to agree or not. Fei Qinfan wanted to take this chance and then get rid of the stupid tag that was attached to his back where everyone thought that he was useless and someone who could not do anything.
Chi Jia shot a look of gratitude to Su Wan who waved her hand. She never came up with this idea for Fei Qinfan, she chose to do it because she knew it would come in handy. What was more, the more favours she did to the imperial family, the better they would treat her in the future. So for the sake of keeping her golden thighs happy, she chose to help out Fei Qinfan a little.
If this meant that the imperial family would remember her small existence then Su Wan was willing to help out Fei Qinfan a bit more. Anyway, she was going to take a part of her share from the gambling den.
Fei Qinfan excitedly left to write a letter to Eunuch Xi while Lin Jing who was working in the courtyard entered the living hall. When he saw Fei Qinfan smiling like a fool he knew that his wife must have come up with an excellent idea which made Fei Qinfan smile like this.
He walked over to his wife and then sat down next to her before saying, " What good ideas did my best wife come up with, this time around?"
Su Wan raised her head and then looked at her husband before looking around and then pecking him on the cheek. She was quite satisfied with him calling her 'Best wife'. Su Wan replied to him, " Nothing. It's just a small gambling den's idea.
I thought that with the gambling den in the capital, we might be able to not only earn money but we will also be able to gain some important information from the capital. Surely a place where officials come together where they have fun and drinks, they are bound to slip something."
Though she did not say anything directly Yi Ran understood that Su Wan was telling her not to add nobles who lost their status. It was not that she was a hard-hearted woman but Su Wan was in no mood to teach a spoiled woman who lived like a princess.
What was more, women like those who believe in paying attention to something else than working hard.
" I understand madam. Is there anything else that you need?" Yi Ran asked with a smile. She understood Su Wan's worries after taking a look at her husband who was quite good-looking.
" I need someone who knows how to cook, it will be better if you pay attention to this skill more. Someone who knows how to drive and how to make things out of wood," Su Wan paused and then added, " I need a housekeeper and a scholar as well. Someone who knows how to serve a scholar."
" Housekeeper and a page boy?" Yi Ran's eyes lit up when she heard Su Wan's request. " Are you sure that you will not find them a taboo?"
Selling slaves was not difficult for Yi Ran but reselling some of the slaves was indeed difficult. For example, a man who once worked as a housekeeper because it meant that the housekeeper was punished because he did something unforgivable or his master under whom he was working did something that caused the exile of the family.
The same could be said for a page boy.
Because of this not many people bought housekeepers and page boys from slave traders.
