Li Baoxiao's wife was surnamed Xin, and was also one of the top beauties in the Beautiful Book Sect. The Madam Xin had her methods as well. She looked delicate and weak and easy to talk to, but she was someone with an idea. No one could easily take advantage of her. Furthermore, the madame of the Li family did not question her family's matters. The matter of the Li family's inner chamber was left to the Xin wife to manage. She maintained a harmonious relationship with the four brothers and the four sister-in-law. Li Baoxiao was thirty-six this year. They were sixteen and married. Li Baoxiao had not taken a concubine in twenty years and he was the only wife by his side. It had to be said that it was her ability.
Originally, the Xin family was very clear about what Su Family and mother meant to their Li family. Other than his Su Family that had saved Fourth Sister-in-law, there was also this Young Master Su who was definitely not an ordinary person. He would definitely not be an existence in the lake in the future. Thus, the Li family naturally had to interact more. It was also because there were too many people today, and the only person who could help was Old Third's wife, Lady Mo. She was chatting with the madams in the backyard. He had entrusted the stage to the Lao Er and his family. However, such a thing happened in the end.
Speaking of which, this woman definitely had a lot to do. There were a few random words about her, but it was nothing at all. However, the worst part was that those women had ridiculed Madam Su in front of them. It had to be known that Madam Su's nephew was a military official. It was said that her nephew was already a deputy general. Today, the imperial government was in the midst of many troubles, both internally and externally. There were also many opportunities for vice generals to gain merits. Who knows when he might become a general, this family was something ordinary merchants could compare to?
As a result, she was very angry. It was not that these people did not give face to the Madam Su, but rather, to the Li Family.
However, the Xin family still couldn't just directly go over and take a look at those people. They didn't have a nose, a face, or even a face. Those people could be shameless. She had to have them. So, the easiest way would be to sit next to Madam Su and intimately be close with them. After that, he sent a servant to the women to 'unintentionally' tell them that his wife offended the Li family members.
Seeing the Xin Family coming over, Su Wenlan was initially a little nervous. However, seeing that the Xin family was more cordial and cordial than usual, she soon relaxed. I have no choice, Xinyu doesn't like to read books, so she likes to do business. I've also thought of letting him study properly so that she can attain a good name in the future, but there's no hope at all. "
In fact, the Xin family was older than Su Wenlan by nearly ten years. But as she spoke, she was going to address Su Wenlan as aunt. Aunt, this official has a good official, business has a good business. Today, my old master still needs Yu's help. If there was no Yu as intelligent as him, I really don't know what I should do in the future. "
Although Su Wenlan did not understand the meaning behind the Xin family's words. But it sounds like the daughter is of great use to the Li family. She didn't want her daughter to be too busy. However, if she wanted to change her identity and live on, her daughter had to make a sacrifice. This really made her feel distressed and helpless. "But at the same time, there is also an unconcealable sense of pride." To be able to help is his good fortune. "
The Xin family smiled and said, "Being able to know your family is the fortune of our Li family members. However, our family will not talk about these two things. Auntie, today this troupe has a good show for 'The Heaven's Officer's Savior'. I'll give you one later to take a look? "
Su Wenlan was not stupid, how could she not know that the Xin family was giving him face? That would be great. This Yuan Chun class is extremely famous, and I will definitely broaden my horizons today. "
Not to mention what the women who had bullied Su Wenlan were feeling right now, when they returned, they would be scolded harshly by their own men. However, since she didn't know how to conduct himself, there was no need to continue communicating with him. The most important thing for the Li family right now was where did she draw the two hundred thousand taels of silver from. When the discussion was finished, Su Xinyu felt that if this continued, two hundred thousand silver a year would not be a problem. However, this was not a good thing in the long run.
After listening to the play, the Li Family's butler personally sent Su Wenlan, his daughter, and the other two home. He said that Young Master Su had matters to discuss at the estate, and would only return after some time. Su Wenlan was worried, but there was nothing she could do. Fortunately, after the light, his daughter came back.
Su Wenlan was not a meddlesome person, but she had to get to the bottom of this matter today. Xinyu, what exactly happened? Why did I have to discuss it with you all day? "
Su Xinyu sighed, and then told her mother about the second secret decree.
Su Wenlan gasped. "To her, two hundred thousand silver taels was far more than just the word 'thrilling'." What's the use of discussing such a big matter with you? They wouldn't ask you to help them, would they? "
Su Xinyu nodded: "She is looking for my help. But not for me to make money. Just wanted me to recommend him to the Uncle Zhang for them to get to know each other. The Li family was benevolent. Although Li Baoxiao had already become a Prefect and could share the exorbitant taxes below, he did not think of doing so. He wanted to transfer the money through the business. Four Seas Grocery Shop was an excellent cooperating partner. You saw it too. The prices of the same materials varied greatly from place to place. The first step was to make the difference between the north and the south. In addition to some of the famous and special products from various places, one can probably earn over a hundred or two hundred thousand taels of silver a year. "
Su Wenlan continued to frown: Then what if I can't earn it?
"There's nothing we can do about it. The Li family was willing to pay tens of thousands of silver, but not more than fifty thousand. A quarter of the men were already at their limits. The next second, the ones who gave the order were trying to kill the Lee family. "Today, everyone is discussing, hoping to earn a hundred thousand silver from this sale. As for the rest, we will find some local rich people to donate to us."
"If there is a way, then it is hard to turn one's back on money. How can I make people pay their money on their own accord?"
Su Xinyu smiled bitterly: "Mother. These are not things we should be asking. We can't ask. "No matter how much money we pay or how much money we take, it has nothing to do with us."
Su Wenlan sighed, "As long as you don't make things difficult for us."
Su Xinyu laughed. What can I do to make things difficult for you? Mother, don't think too much. It really wasn't that big of a deal. We don't need the money, we don't need the work. On the other hand, you, after bearing such grievance, are truly unfilial. "
Su Wenlan waved her hand, "What am I doing? Previously, I heard things in the village that were even worse. It was just that those people were being dishonest. It's not like we're missing a piece of meat. "Furthermore, when Eldest Young Mistress came to talk to me later, she let those people know the importance of it."
Su Xinyu stood up: "There will be a day in the future. I must let everyone know that no one from Su Family can bully me. Mother, just watch. I can definitely do it! "
Su Wenlan nodded: "Mn. Mother believes in you. "
After Li Baoxiao took up his position, the situation of his Haian City changed. More than half of the messengers had been replaced, and six of them were imprisoned. Large and small gambling houses were raided, and brothels forced into prostitution were sealed. Just the two items alone made Li Baoxiao pay one hundred thirty thousand silvers. The Zhang Ziyi who came up with this method also helped others to the end, and did not let Li Baoxiao take the one hundred and thirty thousand. Instead, he wanted him to take out sixty thousand yuan and go to the north to handle the goods. The best deer antler musk ginseng, if you take it to the south, it will be several times more expensive. At that time, forget two hundred thousand silver. He would be able to earn two hundred thousand taels over the years.
But Zhang Ziyi was a businessman. Even if he was a manager under the Fifth Prince's command, he was actually preparing money for the Fourth Prince. This time, Li Baoxiao was pushed up by them. And the two hundred thousand was caused by the Third Prince. They had to help to rope the Li family in. But when it comes to making money, they won't let it go.
Li Baoxiao knew that amongst his family, only Lao Er's Ol 'Three could do business, and no one had ever done this sort of thing. So he still needed Zhang Ziyi's help. To put it bluntly, he wanted to cooperate with Four Seas Grocery Shop. That was equivalent to cooperating with the Fifth Prince. It was no longer a matter of standing still, but rather an issue of being inseparable from the Fifth Prince.
The price of Four Seas Grocery Shop was sixty thousand silver. The Li Family members could follow him. But they had to listen to them. At that time, the two families would have to split their profits. Speaking of which, it was the Li family that was worth it. This caused the Li family members to be extremely grateful. Naturally, he remembered Zhang Ziyi's words about giving face to the Su Family Young Master.
However, after what happened that time, Su Xinyu didn't get involved with their matters again. She had her own business to do. The soy sauce factory was still very busy. As the host, he was both a buyer and an ingredient. It's no easier than cleaning, cutting boards, and stir-frying.
However, in the end, it was a waste for a chef to fire such a person. Moreover, Su Xinyu still needed Sun Xiguang and He Minggui to start thinking about some good recipes. So this time, he told Su Fu to buy some people to buy some healthy, robust labour. Four were chosen to follow Sun Xiguang and He Minggui to learn how to cook the sauce, while the rest would do the chores.
The more people there were, the larger the place they needed to live. This time, Su Xinyu took another fifty silver taels and bought another house around his own courtyard in An Yan Village. The courtyard was not very large, and it was also very dilapidated. In fact, if Su Xinyu didn't need it, she wouldn't have been able to sell it. Not to mention fifty silver taels. The old man who lived in that courtyard had epilepsy, and it was a terrible disease in the eyes of these people. It was as if he was afraid of being infected. As a result, the old man's health had been declining every day, and his sons had sent him to his hut at the foot of the mountain to await his death. This courtyard was going to be sold.
Su Fu made the decision to buy the house. But after Su Xinyu found out about it. He was in a very bad mood. The old man was already suffering from epilepsy. These unfilial descendants actually didn't let the old man live his last days at home. Instead, they made him wait for his death at the foot of the mountain. This was ridiculous!
Su Xinyu was not a person who would show bad intentions. However, she felt that she probably carried a huge amount of hatred with her when she transmigrated. Otherwise, why would she keep meeting scum that wanted to get her slapped? So when she heard Aunt Zhang talk about the old head, she frowned. Aunt Zhang, accompany me tomorrow. I want to see that old man. "
"Although Zhang Anzhi was not so ignorant as to think that epilepsy would infect him, he was still very worried." Young master. We don't need to ask about this anymore, do we? "
Su Xinyu waved her hand, "Even though there's no need for that, you should at least let your conscience be at ease. What difference is there if we help his sons force him away? In the future, the factory would have to be opened there. People's fortune and reputation were also important. It's okay, I know what I'm doing. Besides, I'm half a doctor myself. "
