The Doctor's Concubine: Kick the Scumbag King and I Want to Be a Dandy Girl in the Capital

Xiu Lingqun was confused. He scratched his head and thought seriously. There was no way to make money:

"Luoluo, how much did it cost you to build the road?"

"Several tens of thousands."

nonsense.

Xiu Luoran took out a total of five thousand taels, and she told Yuan Ling that he could come to her for more if it was not enough.

So far, Yuan Ling hasn't looked for her yet.

Now is the time of the year when there is a shortage of food. Farmers in many villages on the outskirts of the city have run out of food and their lives are having a hard time.

I heard that the city was hiring people to work, providing lunch and getting paid on the same day, so everyone came to work.

Not to mention paying, even if it's just providing food, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people willing to do it.

Because of this, the labor cost is particularly cheap.

Road construction is purely physical work. A strong laborer only earns 15 cents a day, and a teenager only earns 8 cents.

Originally, the government offered a lower salary, but Xiu Luoran disagreed.

She said arrogantly: "I don't need that little money."

Even though the money is not much, prices are cheap in peacetime.

A pound of black flour costs only one cent, and a pound of corn flour costs only three cents. One day's work is enough to feed five or six people for several days.

Xiu Lingqun had no idea that Xiu Luoran had only taken five thousand taels. When he heard that his sister had already spent tens of thousands, he became anxious.

This is just the beginning. I’m afraid I’ll have to take more in the future.

After thinking for a while, he asked: "Luoluo, tell me the truth, do you have any ideas?"

Xiu Luoran whispered, "Third brother, go to your 'intelligence station' and check if there is any useful information."

Seeing that Xiu Lingqun didn't understand, Xiu Luoran continued:

"For example, a wealthy official had an affair with the wife of his colleague. Although his colleague was a rough man, he was a martial artist and very powerful, so the official did not dare to offend him.

And you need money..."

Xiu Lingqun grinned: "I understand. I'll check it out right away."

"Third brother, are you the people in charge of intelligence at this 'intelligence station' reliable?"

"Luoluo, don't worry, I guarantee it will be reliable. Besides, I just asked him to show me the intelligence. He knows what information I'm interested in."

Xiu Luoran said seriously:

"Third brother, you must not underestimate anyone, especially those smart people. Do your men know that you are the son of the Marquis' Mansion?"

"do not know."

Fortunately.

Xiu Luoran was relieved: "Then you should be careful too."

"I know. By the way, Luoluo, didn't we go to Gong's house last time? We got a lot of things and money. I know you don't like those things, so I didn't keep them for you. I sold them all.

Add the gold, silver, and banknotes, and the money from selling my house, and there will be 700,000 or 800,000 taels. I will give you 500,000 taels."

Xiu Lingqun kept the two best houses, which he planned to give to Xiu Luoran as a dowry.

"Third brother, there is a saying that goes 'A gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way'.

Just because the Gong family is rich doesn’t mean we can just take it secretly.

The main thing is that most of this money was taken from our family by Gong. It is our family's money. We are just taking our family's money back. Do you understand?"

"understood."

"You spend more money than I do, just give me 300,000 taels.

Treat your subordinates well and cultivate more loyal people. They can fight for you at critical moments. Such people are worth making friends with.

Give extra money to the people who worked with you that night.

You need to make them understand that if you are better off, they will be better off, and if you have more money, they will have more money to spend. "

Xiu Lingqun went to the "Intelligence Station". Xiu Luoran came back from feeding Tayun and saw Mochou.

This girl really didn't lie. After the poison was removed, she regained her appearance and was really beautiful.

"Mochou, you've not only lost weight, but you've also become more beautiful.

Miss, I am going to make you some nice clothes. What color do you like? "

Mochou grinned happily:

"Miss, I like light blue, light red, and aqua."

"Okay, I'll make them all for you. This guy is good-looking, and he looks good in anything."

"Hey, thank you, miss."

"Mochou, tell the kitchen that I want to eat dumplings tonight. Ask them to make sauerkraut pork and leek shrimp."

"Okay lady."

……

In the west wing of the Marquis's Mansion, is Gong's house.

"Snapped!"

Gong threw the soup on the table to the ground, then pointed at Xiu Yiran's nose and cursed:

"What is this? What I want is Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, and you're using this broken thing on me?

At first I thought it was the servants who were fooling me.

I didn't expect that my own daughter would not let me eat her. I haven't eaten yours yet, do you have to be so harsh?"

Xiu Erran hid away when her mother was about to get angry. The only people in the room were Gong and Xiu Yiran, mother and daughter.

Seeing that Gong stopped shouting, Xiu continued to speak slowly:

"I'm not picking on you, nor am I reluctant to give you the food. You are my own mother, and I would never be harsh on you even if I were harsh on anyone else."

Seeing that Gong was about to speak again, Xiu raised his hand to stop her:

"You are right about one thing, what you are eating now is mine.

Dad asked me to be the head of this family, but so far, he hasn't given me a penny, and neither have you.

After the separation, all our family expenses are spent on my money, do you understand?"

Hearing this, Gong was speechless. Of course she understood.

However, she used to live the life of a noble lady, and now, she feels really uncomfortable living the life of a commoner.

She is sad, so why not let her nag a little?

Xiu Yiran continued, "My father asked me to be the head of the family, and I had no choice because I couldn't refuse.

I have done my best so that our family can live like this now.

If you are not satisfied, either you ask my father to replace the head of the household, or you buy what you want with your own money.”

Xiu Yiran finished speaking, then stood up and left.

She had had enough. If she wasn't her own mother, she wouldn't want to stay here for even a quarter of an hour.

Being in a turmoil every other day, one can never see clearly the situation in front of them.

She has a good temper, but her patience is limited.

Back in her yard, she called Mother Ji:

"Hit a carriage, ask the concierge to accompany you, and sell all the servants I have selected to the tooth shop."

Mother Ji is Xiu Yiran’s wet nurse and is very loyal to her.

Seeing that Xiu Yiran had been worrying about the family these days, she felt very distressed:

"Miss, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter for you. There are too many people, so it will take three or four trips. I will ask someone to go to the East Courtyard to tell them first."

"Go."

Mother Ji went out, and Xiu Yiran's personal maid Linglong came in:

"Miss, the little maid Mei'er came to tell me that the lady has quietly prepared to return to her parents' home the day after tomorrow."

Xiu still closed his eyes, and opened them after a while:

"I see. Give her ten cents to buy some candy."

"Yes."

Linglong sent the little girl back, and Xiu Yin continued to instruct:

"Tell the second young lady quietly that she is not allowed to go back to her parents' home with my mother. If she dares to disobey, I will break her legs. Tell her exactly what I said."

"Yes."

Xiu Yinyan slowly lay down, closed his eyes and rested.

Xiu Luoran, if you hadn't come back, none of this would have happened, and I wouldn't have to work so hard.
