Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful
Chapter 187: I saw my uncle still had a home in Dongcheng
Dongqin came with fifty people.
Five horse-drawn carriages were driven, filled with fruits that could be found in the Baiyue City area, as well as new things from overseas brought by ships docked in Baiyue City.
There was a box hidden under the fruit, which was full of silver bills.
Dongqin was extremely careful in his work and his silver deposits were scattered across the country, in both large and small banks.
"Master, more and more foreign ships are docking in Baiyue City now, and several trading centers have been formed, including horse markets, jewelry wholesale, spice wholesale..."
Those silver bills are commissions or management fees, and also a portion of sales proceeds.
"Baiyue City currently maintains 1,500 soldiers, and the income from various centers has a surplus of 3 million strings of cash, all of which have been brought to the master."
"All the money from grain sales has been converted into silver notes, totaling 6 million strings of cash. We still have 100,000 dan of grain left from the grain we stockpiled before the disaster."
Dongqin gave all the 9 million strings of silver notes to Xie Zhaozhao.
The account book was also brought.
"I will not leave these few days. I will stay in Kyoto. Master, please check the accounts first. Once the accounts are clear, I will go back."
Xie Zhaozhao asked: "Do you have any other plans in Kyoto these few days?"
Dong Qin shook his head: "No, I'm just here to deliver the banknotes."
"That's great. I have something I need you to do."
She has been planning to take revenge on Guan Yingying and Gu Chengyan.
Publishing poems will cut off their chances of winning favor.
The opening of the Silk Road ended their dreams of building a commercial empire.
The good fortune of the two people in their previous lives in making a fortune from the national crisis was forcefully snuffed out, and half of Xie Xiangxiang's dowry was also lost.
He arranged for someone to guide Xie Xinghe to question Gu Yuebai's identity in public, thus cutting off Gu Yuebai's path to enlightenment in all academies and forever blocking his qualification to enter the Imperial College.
But, this crazy woman Guan Yingying brought in the panacea again! !
Although her target was originally the crown prince, who can guarantee that she will not harm others? Isn't she reaching out to Emperor Hui again? Isn't she already reaching out to her dumplings!
Guan Yingying hates the rich, hates officials, hates the United States... She hates everything she doesn't have. How can she guard against thieves all day long?
This kind of person can no longer be allowed to roam freely outside, she must be completely confined.
I don't trust anyone to handle this matter, only Dong Qin can do the job reliably.
......
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, an elderly couple, with a child of five or six years old, came to visit relatives at Xie's house pulling a cart.
There were several baskets on the cart, filled with purple radishes and cucumbers from their own fields, and two big carps caught from the river.
The concierge didn't recognize who it was at first.
"We are Madam Xie's uncles." Qu Yuning said, "We are here to see the old lady."
The concierge suddenly remembered: "Are you the great-uncle who bet on Prince Gu and lost his fortune at the Peony Poetry Festival?"
Qu Yuning said embarrassedly: "It was me. I almost lost my granddaughter's dowry that time. It was all thanks to Madam Xie and the eldest lady who rescued me."
Qu's wife also said flatteringly: "We want to kowtow to the old lady. We heard that the third young lady is going to be the prince's concubine, so we came to congratulate her."
The doorman did not dare to delay and hurried to report to the old lady. It took old lady Xie a while to remember who Qu Yuning was.
"Oh, he's the one who jumped out on the side of the road and scared me? Let's ask them to come in and send them to Xu's yard first."
Madam Xie's Wutong Garden is crowded with people all day long, so she really has no time to see Qu Yuning and his wife.
The gatekeeper first delivered the local specialties brought by Qu Yuning to the public palace, and then took them to Xu's courtyard.
Qu Yuning and his wife were a little nervous. They felt a little embarrassed when looking at their niece. This was the mistress of the Xie Mansion!
"Niece... I have nothing to do during the New Year, so I came to see you." Qu's wife, a country girl, was very nervous when she saw Xu, and she pushed the child beside her, "Gouzi, call me cousin."
Gouzi was very nervous when he came to Xie's house for the first time. He shrank behind his grandmother, pinching the corner of his clothes and stammering, "Cousin, cousin."
Xu asked someone to make room for her and said to her maid Duo'er, "Go get some fruit."
Duo'er brought some fruits to Gouzi, who hurriedly put them into his pocket. Duo'er then gave Gouzi a purse with two small silver grains in it.
Gou Zi just wanted to eat the fruit, so he stuffed his purse into Qu's wife's pocket.
Xu didn't know what they were here for. Madam Xie II and Madam Xie III were both legitimate daughters of officials in the capital. Their families were all officials, only her mother was a concubine, and her uncles were all country folk.
She was afraid that the second and third wives would see her poor relatives and remember her status as a concubine in her natal family.
He wished he could send Qu Yuning and his wife away immediately.
Seeing her like this, Qu Yuning became much more indifferent, but when he thought about what the woman from the village had told them, he no longer cared about Xu's attitude.
"The second young lady has been married to the Marquis' Mansion for half a year, right?" Qu Yuning asked.
Xu immediately became alert.
"Uncle, Xiangxiang is now the wife of the prince of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion. A married girl has to obey her mother-in-law's mood in her husband's family. Uncle, just tell me if you have anything to say." She couldn't ask them to harass her daughter.
Qu Yuning didn't respond to her question and continued to ask, "I heard that the Third Miss was granted the title of Crown Prince's concubine? The Third Miss looks very lucky."
Xu thought: You guys are just farming, but you're not trying to curry favor with the royal family, are you? Country people don't know their own worth, they want to get in on all the good stuff, without even considering their own status!
She was about to make a few blunt remarks when she heard Duo'er report: "Madam, the third young lady is here."
When Xie Tingting heard that Qu Yuning and his wife came to her house, saying they were visiting relatives, she thought they were just here to ask for money.
Although the royal family still has three poor relatives, who would want to associate with poor relatives in reality? They are no help at all, and they only hinder us.
However, as long as a person is useful, he will be loyal and obedient if given a little bit of money.
When she entered Xu's yard, Qu Yuning saw that her niece, who seemed to have not grown up half a year ago, was now taller than Xu.
She was wearing brocade clothes and jade belt, her black hair was tied with pearls and jade, she wore a flowery shirt on top, a pleated skirt on the bottom, a fox fur cloak on the outside, two drop earrings, an eight-treasure ring, and she was full of jewels and looked intimidating.
Qu's wife suddenly became half a head shorter. This niece's granddaughter would be the prince's concubine in the future. If the prince ascended the throne, she would be the imperial consort.
Tingting Xie smiled gently and generously: "Are the uncles and aunts here? This is my cousin, right? So cute."
He motioned to the maidservant beside him to pick some wild vegetables and give them as rewards.
Caiwei immediately took out a purse and gave it to Gouzi, who then gave the purse to his grandmother.
Qu Yuning and his wife were both feeling uneasy, but Xie Tingting said generously, "Lunch is about to start, so please have your granduncle and grandaunt eat in mother's yard. Don't go to grandmother's place. It's too noisy."
Qu Yuning looked at Xie Tingting like this, hesitated for a while, and said: "I, I have something to say to you alone."
Xu said calmly: "Uncle, just say whatever you want to say. We are all family here."
Don’t you just want money?
"Niece, great-niece, I was selling purple radishes in East City and met the Prince of Pingyang. He has a family there..."
