Chapter 34 Will you get money if you cry?

Even if we want to go to the border town, it is impossible to set off immediately. Naturally, other preparations must be made.

Ye Qiongying was not in a hurry either. She now had a clear goal in her mind and her family members were all living well. Now was the best time, so she was naturally not in a hurry.

Uncle Ye also knew that she was going to the border town.

This uncle, who now looked much older than he was three years ago, proposed to go to the border town with her without hesitation, and performed a set of tiger boxing in front of Ye Qiongying.

That fist was powerful, no less mighty than that of a young man.

With the instructions from her aunt and grandmother in mind, as well as Uncle Ye's personal wishes, Ye Qiongying no longer refused and agreed to Uncle Ye's request to go with her.

Uncle Ye, whose hair had turned gray, suddenly lost his bent waist and his legs were no longer sore. It was as if he had regained his motivation overnight and looked a lot younger.

While Ye Qiongying was making preparations, Uncle Ye was not idle either. He took the time to train the guards in the mansion to prevent them from being rushed into by the short-sighted villain Yin Xu from the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis. At the same time, he gradually handed over the affairs in his hands to Madam Hua and Ye Yuan to handle.

Everything went smoothly at the Ye family's side. Even the handover of work was carried out in an orderly manner without any mistakes.

The Loyalty and Bravery Mansion was also different after a change of manager.

During these three years, all the servants used were those brought by Ye Qiongying when she got married. The masters in the mansion were so spoiled by them that they almost forgot what kind of life they lived three years ago.

It was not until Ye Qiongying and her people left that they discovered that the new doorman was too stupid. He didn't even know when to open the door or when to arrange the carriage. The purchasing in the kitchen was also unreliable. The quality of the ingredients they bought was not very good, but the cost was not small. The maids and servants in the mansion were even more lazy. Either something was not done well here or something was missed there.

Except for a few of the masters' personal maids and servants, everything else was not to their liking.

The housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion is gone, and the new one is a servant promoted by Yin Xu.

There is some loyalty, but only a little.

I originally thought being a housekeeper was a lucrative job, but after becoming one, I discovered that it was a tough one.

Forget about making any profit, even this entire mansion can't produce a single drop of oil!

"My Lord, now the money in the account of the Marquis' Mansion, apart from the monthly allowance for the servants and daily purchases, only 1,430 taels are left. But today... Miss Leng took the seal and came to withdraw 1,000 taels of silver...

"My Lord, it's not that I don't want to give it, it's that I can't! After this money is spent, I won't be able to get the monthly allowance for next month."

The newly appointed steward of the Marquis' Mansion was summoned by the Marquis. When he saw Yin Xu's gloomy face and Leng Qianqian who was crying beside him, he understood what was going on and immediately began to plead for his innocence.

He said this without any guilt.

Yes, he wanted to make some money by using his position.

But isn't this a bad account? He can't make any money at all. The money is already small, and if there is a little more shortage, it will be too obvious.

But since he couldn't get it, he naturally couldn't let others take it away.

Leng Qianqian asked for one thousand taels of silver at a time, so he wouldn't get nothing at all, and by next month, he wouldn't even get paid for his work, right?

When Yin Xu heard this, he felt a headache.

The bruises on his face had not yet disappeared, and his body had been aching for the past few days. For the sake of face, he could not tell anyone that he was beaten up for no reason by street thugs, so he just said that he accidentally fell and hit his face.

When I went out that day, I didn't see the shop, nor did I have time to borrow money. Instead, I was very angry and got injured.

Yin Xu has been recuperating in the mansion these days, so it is not convenient for him to go out and look at that face, so naturally no loans have been received.

Leng Qianqian cried as soon as she came back today. After asking for a long time, she found out that it was the housekeeper who irritated her. She said that the people in the mansion did not respect her at all and did not treat her as the master. She wondered if she was still thinking about the previous wife of the Marquis, Ye Qiongying.

Now, whenever Ye Qiongying was mentioned, Yin Xu felt pain in his face and body, and without thinking, he called the newly appointed housekeeper over.

In the end, it was for this.

Yin Xu breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Leng Qianqian.

After all, it was true love. Even at this time, the tone was still gentle:

"Qianqian, why do you suddenly need to withdraw such a large sum of money? Didn't I just give you two thousand a few days ago?"

Leng Qianqian felt very aggrieved, and she began to count on her fingers: "My Lord, the initial expenses of opening a shop are already huge! I bought a good shop and spent 1,500 taels, and then hired a few maids to entertain customers in the shop, and each of them had to pay..."

"What did you say?" Yin Xu interrupted Leng Qianqian.

"I said I hired a few girls..."

"The previous sentence!"

Leng Qianqian was startled by Yin Xu's voice, and paused before saying:

"I said, I bought a shop for 1,500 taels of silver."

Yin Xu's eyes widened, and the butler next to him had the same expression.

Where did this spendthrift woman come from?

Yes, one thousand five hundred taels is nothing to those wealthy and famous families. For a family like the Ye family, they would not feel sorry for buying as many shops as possible like this.

But what is the current situation of the Marquis's Mansion? The total amount of silver left in the mansion's account is less than 1,500 taels!

Moreover, when Yin Xu gave her the silver, he also said that the total was five thousand taels, three thousand of which would be used for household expenses, and the remaining two thousand would be used for her to open a shop.

So, she had to pay 1,500 yuan to buy a shop?!

If Leng Qianqian hadn't done this, Yin Xu would have slapped her.

He took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked:

"Why did you spend so much money to buy a shop? Isn't it just a clothing store?"

Leng Qianqian also noticed something, tears suddenly flashed in her eyes, she looked at Yin Xu pitifully and said:

"My Lord, I opened a shop from the Marquis' Mansion after all. I can't sell things that are not presentable, right? I can only sell high-end products and deal with those noble ladies. This will not bring shame to you, and I can also take the opportunity to contact some people to help you.

Therefore, the location of this shop cannot be too remote. It can only be located in the center of the capital. Jinxiu Pavilion is also on that street. I specially wrote your name on this shop, not taking advantage of it. If you think... I..."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red.

After hearing what she said, Yin Xu felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Indeed, if Leng Qianqian, the future wife of the Marquis, was really asked to do the business of a servant, it would not be good to tell others about it.

The location is indeed worth the price.

But... one thousand five hundred taels is still too much for the current Marquis' Mansion.

"Then...what about the remaining five hundred taels?"

Hearing him say this, Leng Qianqian knew that the matter of the shop was over:

"In addition to hiring people, we also need to buy fabrics, find embroiderers, and advertise... that is, find someone to promote our shop. My Lord, the Jinxiu Pavilion is really overbearing. It has taken over all the channels for purchasing goods. If our shop wants good fabrics, the price will be much higher than theirs.

I...I really didn't spend money recklessly. Today's investment is also for our future. If you think it's not okay, then I won't do it."

Yin Xu had no choice but to say to the housekeeper:

"Give the one thousand taels to Madam. Don't worry about the money. I will find a way to avoid wasting money on the mansion."

The housekeeper looked at Leng Qianqian's red eyes with envy.

It was great, shedding a few tears, and he could spend two thousand taels of silver without being scolded, and he could even get another thousand taels! If he shed tears, he would probably be slapped out by the Marquis.

There was nothing he could do. After all, she was a favored concubine. Even the proper wives of the Marquis's mansion had been forced to leave. What else could he, a newly appointed housekeeper, do?

The housekeeper obeyed the order and took the silver. After getting the promise, Leng Qianqian burst into laughter and threw herself into Yin Xu's arms and started to act coquettishly.

On the other side, the banquet in the palace was almost ready.

However, no one noticed that Liang Dehai, the chief eunuch who had always been by the emperor's side, suddenly left the palace quietly.
