Chapter 160: Paying Back the Money
Jiang Qingwan was casually praised by Feng Lanyu, and the whole person was as excited as if she had been beaten with chicken blood, and immediately went out to find Jiang Hu.
The reopening of Chen Ji Clothing Store has always been prepared and managed by Jiang Hu, and all the people in the store have been replaced, so it is appropriate for Jiang Hu to take Jiang Qingwan to familiarize himself with the store.
Feng Lanyu pondered, Jiang Qingwan has something to do, and she will definitely not come to pester her in the future!
To tell you the truth, this eldest lady is really a little annoying!
Feng Lanyu was really a little afraid of her.
The Chen Ji clothing shop was handed over to her, and she didn't expect her to make money, just don't lose money, even if she loses money, can she still lose more than her play?
Moreover, Jiang Qingwan, as the concubine of the Hou Mansion, will definitely have a high status in her husband's family in the future, and she will probably have to manage the future industry, so it is better to experience it now.
*
In the Marquis of Jingning's mansion, the old lady was really sick this time, not only because of the 65,000 taels that had to be returned, but also because the ladies who had been friends with her in the past had stopped interacting with her recently.
Originally, it was just a rumor in the market, and the lowly drama came to make trouble, and people just laughed it off when they saw it, and the bad thing was that the matter was too big, and it was all over the court.
Even the emperor opened his mouth euphemistically to let the Marquis of Jingning cultivate his family.
As soon as the emperor's holy mouth was opened, where would anyone dare to associate with the old lady of Jingning Hou?
Wouldn't it be bad luck to associate with her at this time? Maybe it will affect the juniors in the family.
Marquis Jingning was scolded by Zhang Yushi's old man pointing his nose in the court, and his face was naturally not good when he came back.
He rarely asked about what the old lady had done over the years, after all, it was his mother, who had presided over the Hou Mansion for more than 20 years, and managed the Hou Mansion in an orderly manner.
————
At least compared to the eldest young master of Pingyang Bo Mansion who destroyed the whole family, the juniors of their Jingning Marquis Mansion are already very sensible.
It was not good for Marquis Jing Ning to blame the old lady, but he also put on a face, and he didn't go to greet the old lady for several days;
In the past, he would take time to accompany the old lady to have dinner every few days, chatting for a while, but he didn't even show his face these days, and the old lady was angry and lay on the bed, and he didn't go to visit.
The old lady knew that this son had lost face in front of the civil and military officials, and she resented her in her heart.
The old lady is not very sick, but she has a headache from anger, she seals the mouths of the people in the house, but she can't seal the people in the family, she stays in the house for a few days, and I don't know how much gossip she has heard.
When the daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law of those rooms came to ask for peace, their mouths couldn't be idle, and there were always nine out of ten sentences to ask about the 65,000 taels.
Mrs. Jingning Hou took Wang Xinyue and came to visit the old lady, this Mrs. Hou has a soft temperament, she is suppressed by the old lady on weekdays, and her mentality is also peaceful, she does not fight or rob, the old lady says whatever she wants, she has no temper at all, and she has no opinion at all.
After a long time, the old lady looked down on her more and more, so she turned to her and went directly to cultivate Wang Xinyue, the granddaughter-in-law.
At this time, looking at Mrs. Nahou and Wang Xinyue, the old lady leaned on the pillow, her face gloomy.
Wang Xinyue looked at Mrs. Hou and then at the old lady, only to feel that it was difficult for her to do it on both sides.
She first served the old lady for breakfast, and when she saw that the old lady's face was better, she asked in a low voice: "Old lady, is the silver tael that the Hou Ye asked to prepare still from the public middle school?" ”
It's been two days, and it's time to send it to the Marquis of Wenchang's mansion.
If she doesn't send it over, with her little understanding of Feng Lanyu, maybe there will be some rumors going out, such as the old lady of Jingning Hou refusing to admit it, not admitting it to death, not paying back the money for a long time, etc., and so on, if it is heard by the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate again, Jingning Hou will be ridiculed again.
Wang Xinyue always felt that Feng Lanyu was a little crazy in life and work, he didn't talk about feelings, he came according to his preferences, and if he made her unhappy, he would definitely retaliate back, the point is that people don't care about face and reputation at all, it seems that those who value reputation often can't force themselves with her.
It's better to deal with this matter as soon as possible.
However, Wang Xinyue also knew that the old lady couldn't come up with so much money at all.
The old lady sneered and said, "Public? Are they willing? ”
The daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law of those rooms are staring at it day after day, and the silver taels in the public are everyone's, and since the 65,000 taels have fallen into the old lady's pocket, won't the old lady take it out again, why should she take their silver from the public office?
And the old lady has always been biased towards the big house, that is, the Marquis of Jingning, and over the years, everyone has watched how much the big house has been subsidized openly and secretly.
Maybe the 65,000 taels fell into the hands of Dafang, and now that this has happened, it's simpler, whoever will carry the black pot.
Wang Xinyue and Mrs. Hou glanced at each other, and saw that Mrs. Hou still had an indifferent look on her face, and she had a kind of mentality that she had nothing to do with herself.
Wang Xinyue was a little worried, she was afraid that the old lady would push this problem onto her.
The old lady snorted coldly and said, "That young lady Jiang still has some means. ”
Wang Xinyue's lips pursed, this is the second time that the old lady has said this.
In the old lady's place, having means means having the ability, the old lady actually appreciates Feng Lanyu in her heart, but the two are on opposite sides, and the old lady is willing to kill Feng Lanyu.
Wang Xinyue couldn't help but think, if her identity and Feng Lanyu were reversed, she was Mrs. Jiang, and Feng Lanyu was Mrs. Zhao of the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion, would the result be different now?
With the kind of temperament of Feng Lanyu, he will definitely not be willing to be suppressed and called by the old lady, let alone serve the old lady obediently, will the old lady still appreciate her?
At that time, maybe the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion has been disturbed by chickens, flying dogs, and jumping for a day, right?
The old lady asked Wang Xinyue: "Have the income of the three families been reported?" ”
Wang Xinyue hurriedly said: "The report is here, the account book was just sent yesterday, and I haven't had time to read it yet." ”
Those three stores have to report their accounts every six months, and this is the second time this year.
The old lady said, "Isn't this year's autumn harvest quite good?" Just take the money out of here and send it to the Marquis of Wenchang's mansion. ”
Speaking of this, the old lady was in a good mood again.
That Young Mrs. Jiang calculated and calculated, and she definitely didn't expect that the sixty-five thousand taels sent back were still on themselves.
Wang Xinyue didn't know that the three shops belonged to the property of the Marquis of Wenchang, she always thought that they belonged to the old lady, but now she heard the old lady say this, and she was surprised.
I didn't expect the old lady to be really willing to take out the 65,000 taels by herself.
Mrs. Jingninghou knew, her eyes flashed, and she hesitated for a moment before she whispered to the old lady: "Mother, there are rumors in the city now, these three shops...... Why don't you put it first? ”
