Chapter 83
From that day on, Jiang Yun Xiu kept paying attention to Jiang Yun Zhu and Shen Feng Ming. She was thinking that if she could catch them, she would start a fuss...
Jiang Yun Xiu suddenly thought of Tian Ying and shivered. But she immediately comforted herself that she couldn't be blamed for that matter. If Tian Ying hadn't done it, how could she catch them in the bed? She could only blame herself.
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't know what she was thinking. She loosened her hair, lay on the bed, and fell asleep soundly.
When she got up, it was almost evening. She stretched her waist and felt refreshed.
At this moment, Li He knocked on the door. It turned out that Qin Zhen had come and wanted to see her.
Jiang Yun Zhu tidied up and went out to meet Qin Zhen.
"Miss Jiang, I'm truly sorry." Qin Zhen apologized repeatedly as soon as they met.
"What's going on?" Jiang Yun Zhu now regained her energy and began to question what happened before.
Qin Zhen didn't know how Lin Ting An knew about Jiang Yun Zhu. He had never told anyone about it. Even Jiang Yun Zhu's 5% of the shares, he had always said to the outside world that it was under his own name.
Jiang Yun Zhu wasn't surprised that Lin Ting An knew her. But why did he ask Qin Zhen to invite her. For her stake? But he didn't mention it at all.
Then what else could it be for?
Although Lin Ting An said that in her ear when she was leaving, she didn't feel that he would treat her like after meeting once.
She couldn't figure it out at all.
"Miss Jiang, I have a gift for you." Qin Zhen said suddenly. With that said, he opened the box in his hand, took out a painting from it, and handed it to Jiang Yun Zhu.
Curious, Jiang Yun Zhu opened it. She saw that the pavilions, towers, pavilions, ponds, flowers and trees depicted in this painting were vivid and lifelike. But they don't look like they were a work by any famous artist, but rather like a floor plan of a house.
At this moment, Qin Zhen took out another thing. It was a key.
"This is a courtyard in the north of my city. It isn't far from the courtyard where Ah Yao lives now. If Miss Jiang goes over to live, it would be convenient to interact with Ah Yao." Qin Zhen explained.
He actually wanted to give Jiang Yun Zhu a house.
"How can this do?" Jiang Yun Zhu hurriedly returned the painting in her hand to Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen said, "Miss Jiang, let me finish. I know that what you did before was for Ah Yao's good. Originally, I wanted to give you a gift. Then that happened today. I’m even more ill at ease.
You can accept this house and consider it my thought. "
As soon as Jiang Yun Zhu saw the painting, she knew roughly what the house looked like. Its value was at least one thousand liang.
One thousand liang! A lot? For Qin Zhen, not much. But for Jiang Yun Zhu now, it was a lot. How could she accept such a heavy gift from him?
Jiang Yun Zhu persisted in not accepting. And then said, "Boss Qin, if you want to help me, why not..."
She told her thoughts. She wanted to sell her 5% shares to Qin Zhen at a discount.
She had been thinking about this since she sat next to Lin Ting An. Now the matter of serving congee and planting trees had completely exceeded her expectations. Especially with Lin Ting An getting involved. She didn't want to get involved with him any more. So she might as well switch to money and freedom.
After hearing this, Qin Zhen was shocked and even very puzzled. It might not be a bad thing for Lin Ting An to participate in the matter of serving congee and planting trees. Backed by a big tree, one can enjoy the shade. This showed that their business was indeed profitable. Then everyone makes money together.
Jiang Yun Zhu was withdrawing now. Currently, all she invested hadn’t produced any output. It was difficult for her shares to be sold at a high price.
With her eyesight, she should understand this. Why did she want to sell the shares?
Could it be because of Eldest Gentleman Lin? Thinking of what happened before, he felt very likely.
In fact, Lin Ting An was outstanding. Among the young gentlemen in Lu Prefecture, he had a good family background, good knowledge, and a rare good character. He had never played prostitutes or gambled. Many misses in Lu Prefecture were fond of him and want to marry him.
It was a pity that Jiang Yun Zhu's background was too low, otherwise she and Lin Ting An would be... No, Qin Zhen remembered Gentleman Shen who often followed Jiang Yun Zhu. He was an unparalleled person in the world. Many thoughts flashed through Qin Zhen's mind.
"Miss Jiang, are you sure you want to sell?" Finally Qin Zhen asked.
"Sure." Jiang Yun Zhu nodded.
Seeing that she had made up her mind and there was no room for change, Qin Zhen agreed and bought her shares.
"One thing, I want to tell Boss Qin. I don't know what Gentleman Lin thinks. About you buying this share from me..." Jiang Yun Zhu didn't finish, but she believed that Qin Zhen should understand.
This was likely to make Lin Ting An unhappy. However, Jiang Yun Zhu knew that Lin Ting An had a sense of propriety. When the time comes and everything is settled, he would probably not do anything to Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen frowned and pondered for a moment. He understood her worry, but if he wanted to benefit, he had to take some risks, right? After he weighed it, he felt that it was no problem.
"Okay, thank you, Boss Qin." Jiang Yun Zhu said.
"I should thank Miss Jiang."
With this, the price was naturally easy to negotiate. In the end, Jiang Yun Zhu sold the 5% of the shares to Qin Zhen at the price of 1,500 liang plus the price of that property.
Jiang Yun Zhu had long wanted to buy a house, but she had no money. After opening the backyard of Qishanju, it was very spacious. But it wasn't as good as a real house, where the front and back are connected and quiet inside. When Jiang Yun Xiu came today, she realized that she needed a separate space.
She saw Qin Zhen’s villa and liked it very much.
The two were on the same page.
Soon, the two wrote a new contract. Qin Zhen got Jiang Yun Zhu's shares and Jiang Yun Zhu got 1,500 liang silver as well as the house deed, land deed and key of the villa.
After Qin Zhen left, Jiang Yun Zhu first went to transfer the house deed and land deed to her own name. Then she looked at the 1,500 liang silver note and fell into deep thought.
Xue Jing had always hoped that she would go to Lu Prefecture to open a restaurant. She knew that this thousand five hundred liang was enough.
But going to Lu Prefecture?
Going to Lu Prefecture definitely had benefits. There were more ingredients there. And after the restaurant opens, it would definitely make more money. Moreover, she was very familiar with Lu Prefecture. It may be easier to open a restaurant there than opening Qishanju.
But Lu Prefecture had Lin Ting An and the people she knew in her dreams..
Then how about going to the capital? She couldn't help but wonder. The eight streets and nine streets in the capital were full of treasures. She had been there several times in her dreams, where there were all kinds of novel products from the west, all kinds of spices and seafood from the sea, all kinds of mountain delicacies from the north, and all kinds of fruits and vegetables from the south. She had contemplated several times about opening a restaurant there, lying drunk on the porch and dreaming of the Iron Horse Glacier, and waking up to see the magnificent scenery of the capital.
It was a pity that she couldn’t do what she wanted at that time and could only give up.
And now?
Stay in Wuling County with peace of mind? Or go to Lu Prefecture? Or the capital?
No matter which, she had money to now. She felt that she should re-plan her life.
Thinking of this, she got up and found Mrs. Chen.
After resting the next day, everyone returned to Changshi Village, including Jiang Yun Xiu.
Everyone in the Jiang Family sat together and looked at Jiang Yun Zhu. She called everyone together today. was there something wrong?
Jiang Yun Zhu said, "I want to ask everyone what are your thoughts about the future. I want to stop the takeaway business in the village."
As soon as these words came out, some people were surprised, some had expected it, and some sighed.
"Yun Zhu, have you decided?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"En." Jiang Yun Zhu replied. The takeaway business in the village was now dispensable to her. It would be cut off when needed to.
Everyone was silent.
"I'll stay here." Old Mister Chen pondered for a while before he twisted his beard and said. He liked his current life very much- planting flowers, raising grass, and spending his old age in peace. Of course, it would be even better if Jiang Yun Zhu and the others could come back to see him often.
As for the lively county town, it had nothing to do with him.
Jiang Cheng had already thought about his own life. He saved up money to buy more mules and carts. In the future, together with Xu Qing Shan, they would become the champion of the giving rides industry in Wuling County. Three hundred and sixty lines of work, every line got its number one scholar. As for Jiang Yun Zhu's restaurants and teahouses, they were all earned by herself. He was already an inadequate father since he couldn't subsidize his daughter. So of course he won't want her money.
The house? Living here with old Mister Chen is fine. The elderly was old and lived alone. He couldn't be at ease.
En, if he had money in the future, he would build a bigger and better house for old Mister Chen to live in.
All in all, he’ll be in Changshi Village. It was convenient to drive and do business. And the place was spacious.
Mrs. Chen naturally wanted to be with Jiang Cheng, but if Jiang Yun Zhu needed help, she would always help her.
"I, I'd better continue studying." Jiang Lin said. In order not to lose face in front of Jiang Yun Xue, he attentively attended classes every day and studied hard. The teacher often praised him and he gradually found studying interesting.
Needless to say, Jiang Yun Xue wanted to study. Regarding this matter, Jiang Yun Zhu thought of Qin Zhen. Maybe she had a solution now. She’ll try later.
Jiang Wu was too young, forget it.
Everyone expressed their thoughts, and Jiang Yun Zhu had a general idea in mind.
"If I want to go to Lu Prefecture or the capital in the future, what about you?" She asked.
Needless to say, old Mister Chen, Jiang Cheng and Mrs. Chen looked at each other, feeling a little shy. Their daughter was capable. They were afraid they wouldn't be able to help her.
Jiang Yun Zhu understood that if she went, she would probably have to go by herself.
Everyone had their own life. No one should sacrifice themselves for others. Even if the other person earns more, or were their relatives. It wasn’t right. Jiang Yun Zhu understood.
Jiang Yun Xiu watched from the beginning to the end, feeling contemptuous in her heart. These people only have such little ambition. Did they know how prosperous Lu Prefecture was or what was eaten in Marquis Anping's Manor? They didn't know anything.
Just a bunch of pitiful bugs.
When she heard Jiang Yun Zhu say Lu Prefecture or the capital, she felt a little uneasy.
At this time, Mrs. Chen noticed her and said, "Yun Xiu, how much is your redemption money now? How about we redeem you once we save up?"
In the past two days, Jiang Yun Xiu had often shown off her wealthy life in the Marquis Anping's Manor, but Mrs. Chen felt that it was all about serving people. In particular, she had heard that the master could kill those who were sold like Jiang Yun Xiu at will.
So, it was better to redeem her. In this way, she could find someone she liked to marry and would have a husband and a child like a normal girl.
It was Mrs. Chen’s good intention, but Jiang Yun Xiu got furious when she heard this. They wanted her to marry an ordinary farmer and live in the village for the rest of her life.
In the dream, she listened to them and suffered for so many years.
Now that she had managed to enter the Marquis Anping's Manor and was appreciated by the eldest gentleman, how could she come back?
However, her eyes spun slightly, "Mother, it may cost twenty liang silver."
It would be good for her to get some silver for free.
"Twenty liang." Mrs. Chen was slightly surprised, but quickly calmed down, "Okay."
With Jiang Cheng's current earning speed, twenty liang wasn't that difficult.
Jiang Yun Xiu regretted that she asked for less.
After everyone dispersed, Jiang Yun Zhu found old Mister Chen alone and said that she wanted to buy the house and give it to him.
"How can this do?" Old Mister Chen shook his head repeatedly. This property cost sixty or seventy liang silver. It was fine to rent it.
"Maternal Grandfather, let me tell you secretly that I recently got a fortune from outside. Consider this property as my filial piety to you." Jiang Yun Zhu said.
"Good child, it’s good enough that you have the heart." Old Mister Chen didn't ask her much about the extra fortune. He only said that.
But Jiang Yun Zhu made up her mind to buy this house.
She personally went to see old Madam Feng and asked if they wanted to sell the house.
The Feng family built a new house. It was useless to keep this house. Naturally, they were naturally willing to sell it.
Jiang Yun Zhu was grateful for the elderly's kindness in taking their family in and gave a slightly higher price, seventy liang silver.
Old Madam Feng didn't want.
In the end, the two of them agreed that sixty-eight liang would be an auspicious number.
Immediately, Jiang Yun Zhu grabbed the money and got the deed and land deed of the house.
She talked to Mrs. Feng for a while before leaving Feng's house.
Old Madam Feng looked at her back with envy and admiration. She could buy a house just like that. It could be seen that she had more than this money.
Oh, if only she could have such a daughter.
It was a pity that her belly wasn’t capable and all she gave birth to were sons.
Now she could only hope that daughter-in-laws could give her a good granddaughter.
Other families were looking forward to having a grandson, while old Madam Feng was already looking forward to having a granddaughter.
When Jiang Yun Zhu came back, she gave the house deed and land deed to old Mister Chen.
"You bought it? So fast." Old Mister Chen was shocked. Then he said, "Don't give it to me. Put it in your name or give it to your father or your mother." He had a few more years to live.
"Maternal Grandfather, let me put it under your name, so I could feel at ease." Jiang Yun Zhu remembered that Jiang Cheng had his mother and brother. The people in Changfeng Manor have all fled. Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Hai group may have already come out.
Although they might not meet Jiang Cheng, there was the ‘what if’?
If they meet, it would be another endless lawsuit.
Putting the house under old Mister Chen's name would avoid many problems. The elderly would have something to rely on. A house couldn't meet up to the word ‘rely’, but at least, it could allow old Mister Chen to live here in a legitimate way and spend his old age peacefully.
After old Mister Chen understood Jiang Yun Zhu's thoughts, his heart was moved. This child was very clever.
And she actually thought so much for him...
"It's a pity that Maternal Grandfather couldn't help you." Old Mister Chen sighed. Otherwise he would definitely take care of her.
"Maternal Grandfather, what are you talking about? Just be well and I’ll be happy when I come back to see you from time to time." Jiang Yun Zhu said. It was a blessing to have relatives in this world.
"Then come back and see when you have nothing to do. I’ll plant flowers for you to make tea." Last time Jiang Yun Zhu saw that old Mister Chen planted a lot of flowers, she jokingly said that she wanted to make tea with his flowers. Who would have thought that old Mister Chen would remember it in his heart .
Jiang Yun Zhu smiled, "Okay."
Afterward, she went to find Jiang Cheng and gave him a bank note. This was a silver note of one hundred liang. Although it cannot fulfill all Jiang Cheng's wishes, it could save him a lot of effort.
"Where did you get so much money?" Jiang Cheng was shocked.
Jiang Yun Zhu repeated what she told old Mister Chen now.
"Yun Zhu, you..." Jiang Cheng hesitated.
"Father, I didn't do anything illegal. The money came from a decent way." Jiang Yun stated.
Jiang Cheng felt relieved, but he couldn't take the money.
"Father, take it. The more you put in, the more money you can make. After you make money, you can pay me back, alright?" Jiang Yun Zhu said.
It seemed to be that reasoning, but...
"Father, step by step. Buy a mule and a carriage first. Then develop slowly." Jiang Yun Zhu urged.
"I know." Jiang Cheng was a steady person.
But he quickly remembered another thing, "Your mother has always been thinking about redeeming Yun Xiu..."
If he spend the money to buy a mule and a cart, could Mrs. Chen agree?
Jiang Yun Zhu said, "That's fine too. Father, you got to go to the Marquis Anping Manor yourself. If you can get her deed of sale, you can spend this money."
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't believe that Jiang Yun Xiu would be willing to leave the Marquis Anping Manor at all.
Jiang Cheng could sense the meaning in her words, "You mean?"
"Father will know as soon as you ask. Anyway, Escort Li often travels between Lu Prefecture and Wuling County. It's easy for you to go to Lu Prefecture if you want." Jiang Yun Zhu said.
Jiang Cheng was silent for a while, "I understand."
Jiang Yun Zhu felt relieved. Jiang Cheng was different from Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen was too emotional and easily deceived, so she mentioned it to Jiang Cheng.
After talking about this, Jiang Cheng thought of one matter, "The takeaway business in the village will stop. What about Tan De Bao and the Fang family?"
"Tan De Bao and I will go back to Qishanju. As for the Fang family couple, I want to ask them their thoughts and see if they want to work in the county." Jiang Yun Zhu responded.
Jiang Cheng said, "Actually, old Fourth Fang is a good driver."
"Father’s meaning is to get him to drive with you?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked.
"Let's ask him what his intentions are." Jiang Cheng said.
He immediately called old Fourth Fang and his wife.
Old Fourth Fang and his wife had already heard that Jiang Yun Zhu wanted to stop the takeaway business. They were in a state of despair, when they suddenly heard Jiang Yun Zhu ask them whether they wanted to go to the city to work or drive with Jiang Cheng. They seemed to have found their direction again.
After careful discussion, old Fourth Fang decided to stay in the village and help Jiang Cheng give rides to make money.
Their home and children were all here. And they were familiar with this place. Since they could live here, they don't want to go to the city.
Jiang Yun Zhu understood.
Tan De Bao was extremely excited. At that time, Jiang Yun Zhu said that she would let him go to the county city after he had worked in the village for three years. Good heavens, now that he had only worked for more than two months, him could go to the county city? He was luckier than Xue Jing.
He followed behind Jiang Yun Zhu and ‘boss’ hanging on the tip of his tongue. Nearly holding Jiang Yun Zhu up.
After lunch, Jiang Yun Zhu planned to return to the county city. Better not delay this time like last time.
It was that this time some people came again- Gu Yong De, a middle-aged couple, and Gu Qi Feng.
"Village Chief." Jiang Cheng and others rushed out to greet him.
After everyone was courteous, Gu Yong De explained their visit. He was entrusted by someone to come to find Jiang Yun Zhu.
He was entrusted by the middle-aged couple, who were his younger brother and younger sister-in-law. Ever since Gu Qi Feng went to Lu Prefecture with Jiang Yun Zhu during New Year, he decided that he wanted to do business with Jiang Yun Zhu.
These days, he had helped a lot with the takeaway business in the village.
Today he heard that Jiang Yun Zhu was going to stop the takeaway business, he immediately became anxious.
In fact, the Gu family and his wife slowly accepted that Gu Qi Feng wasn't the material for studying. In addition, Jiang Yun Zhu was indeed capable. In less than three months, she had established a firm foothold in the county. They were afraid of delaying Gu Qi Feng and entrusted Gu Yong De to see Jiang Yun Zhu.
To ask her if she could hire Gu Qi Feng.
"Don't need any salary. Let him learn some skills from you and we’ll be satisfied." The Gu family couple said.
"His age..." Jiang Yun Zhu said.
"I'm not young anymore." Gu Qi Feng seemed to be in the period of changing his voice recently. He opened his mouth and had a male duck voice.
In fact, fourteen years old wasn't young in this day and age. Even Jiang Yun Zhu was three years older than him.
Jiang Yun Zhu had a good impression of him. He had ideas, was daring to work hard, and complemented Li He's rigor and sincerity.
She looked at the Gu family couple and Gu Yong De.
"Just take him in and let him run errands for you. If he is disobedient, you can have someone beat him up." Gu Yong De stated.
The Gu family’s couple nodded.
After they all said that, Jiang Yun Zhu said, "Okay, then let him go to work in Qishanju."
Everyone was happy.
After taking note of Jiang Yun Xue’s matter, Jiang Yun Zhu took Tan De Bao and Gu Qi Feng back to the county city.
Qishanju got the addition of two more people.
When Tan De Bao met Xue Jing, the two naturally had endless conversations.
Gu Qi Feng seemed to understand what he was going to do and followed Li He. Open mouth, close mouth, he called ‘Elder Brother’ one after another, as if his mouth had been smeared with honey.
Seeing that he was smart and diligent, Li He was willing to take him with him.
With the addition of these two people, Jiang Yun Zhu seemed to be able to be the hands-off Manager with peace of mind.
She decided to go to see her new house first.
According to the address, she quickly found the house.
The sight of the vermilion door was very grand.
He Ying took the key to open the door, opened the door, and immediately saw the garden full of flowers and plants. So full of vitality. Also, those house furniture. All were very clean and tidy.
This was a property was a double entry courtyard with a compound house. It could be regarded as a scaled-down version of a regular manor. Still, it was ingeniously arranged. There was a pavilion, lotus pond, and garden. Jiang Yun Zhu fell in love with it immediately.
He Ying looked left and right, full of joy.
Jiang Yun Zhu immediately decided to move here.
When she went back, she told Mrs. Chen about it. Mrs. Chen had already heard from Jiang Cheng that she got a fortune from outside. So she wasn't surprised that she bought a new house. She heard that misses from wealthy families in the city have their own embroidery building. Qishanju was a bit chaotic with people coming and going. For a girl like Jiang Yun Zhu, it was best to live in a private house.
She went to see the house and was amazed. However, she didn't want to move here.
Now that Qishanju had two newcomers, she could do even less work. On the contrary, at home, Jiang Cheng now needed to buy a new mule and a new carriage. Without Tan De Bao, there was no one to cook for him at home. So she wanted to go home and take care of Jiang Cheng and old Mister Chen.
It seemed that a lot had changed overnight.
Jiang Yun Zhu returned to Qishanju, thinking about moving. But when she saw Shen Feng Ming standing there, she stopped.
She was moving. Then where would he live?
In the past, he lived in her house with Jiang Cheng and others in the family. Later, he lived in Qishanju. There were many people in Qishanju. However, she was the only one in her house. Him living felt like living together.
