Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet

"Fire? What happened?" Xiao asked in shock.

Lin Wan's heart moved, and she looked at the servant who came to deliver the message without saying a word.

"Yes, it is said that because the weather was too cold, the servants in the store dumped the burnt charcoal ashes in the kitchen and did not clean them up. As a result, the sparks in the charcoal ashes started burning again." The visitor said the news he had heard.

"Where is that person? Is anyone hurt? How serious is the fire?" Lin Wan asked.

"No one is injured. The fire started in the backyard. The people in the front smelled the smoke and ran out. The fire was just too big. The Jinwu Guards couldn't get close when they passed by."

"People safe is good."

Lin Wan also breathed a sigh of relief. She just remembered that there was a fire in Hanhai Bookstore in her previous life, so she made arrangements in advance when she found out that there was a Moxiangzhai in her dowry.

In the previous life, the fire at Hanhai Bookstore almost burned the entire bookstore to ashes. The store was originally full of books and papers, and with the New Year approaching, many people from the academy went home, and most of those who stayed were students who were going to Beijing to take the imperial examinations, so there were not many people who were able to put out the fire.

So there was no way to put out the fire, but fortunately no one was injured.

Also after the fire, Hanhai Bookstore suffered heavy losses because too many books were burned. Seeing that he was powerless to save the situation, the shopkeeper did not take the deposits paid by students in advance for the books, and used the funds for reconstruction, and even claimed that the funds were donated by students. This caused resistance from students, and finally led to Hanhai Bookstore's notoriety, and the reconstruction was nowhere in sight.

As the Spring Examination was approaching, the court had to find a new bookstore in Shangjing and designate it as a key bookstore, replacing all the privileges of Hanhai Bookstore.

This is why Lin Wan wanted to make Moxiangzhai famous in advance.

Thinking of this, Lin Wan was a little anxious to go to the study. She stood up and said to Xiao: "Mother, I have a shop on the street of Hanhai Bookstore. I want to go and take a look."

Seeing Xiao nod and prepare to go out with Qinglian, Captain Xiao couldn't help asking, "Madam, you just mentioned that my caravan changed its route. Can you tell me the reason?"

Lin Wan stopped and said to him with a smile: "It snowed heavily this year. As far as I know, the snow outside Shangjing City is more than twice as heavy as that inside the city, and many places have suffered snow disasters. The small countries in the northwest will definitely be more serious, and even a crisis will break out. I have a feeling that something will happen in the north next year."

When Xiao heard this, her eyes lit up. She praised, "Yes, the weather in the northern border is extremely cold. Wan'er, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to know a lot about the things in the northwest!"

Lin Wan blushed a little, and quickly said, "I also heard the students chatting in the study room before. People often say that after a big disaster, there will be a big epidemic. I see that the snow this year is different from previous years, so I think the situation in the northwest may be worse. So we'd rather take precautions before it happens!"

"What Madam said is correct." Captain Xiao said, "When I came back this time, I found that the snow had seriously affected traffic. Fortunately, I set out early. Some of my accomplices were still trapped outside the customs because they left two days late!"

"In that case, then you should listen to Wan'er. Let's go to Jiangnan next year." Xiao said.

"Yes, I have overstepped my authority." Captain Xiao bowed to Lin Wan.

However, Captain Lu, who was standing by, glanced at Lin Wan and said, "I'm familiar with Jiangnan. The economy there is very good. Don't worry, brother Xiao. Madam's arrangement makes sense."

"Just now, Madam Young said that there is a shop near Hanhai Bookstore. The fire at Hanhai Bookstore is bound to have a great impact on the business. This is an opportunity for Madam Young's shop! I am sorry for saying too much."

Lin Wan smiled and glanced at the captain, "Thank you for your advice, Captain Lu. I know what to do now!"

After saying this, he bowed to Xiao and went out.

What Lin Wan didn't know was that when they came out of the Marquis' Mansion, Captain Xiao grabbed Captain Lu who was about to go back, and the two went to a teahouse on the street together.

"Brother Lu, what did you mean by that? You said that the young lady changed the route of our caravan as soon as she arrived. I'm really a little uncomfortable with it!"

"Brother, didn't you hear what happened just now? The fire broke out in Hanhai Bookstore, and the Madam was shocked, but the Young Madam seemed to have expected it, and she only cared about whether there were any casualties. And what a coincidence, she has a study on that street. When I entered the city, I met two students who mentioned that the Young Madam's study allows students to read books in it for very little money, and the charcoal and tea are free."

"so what?"

"That means the young lady has made preparations. Her arrangements for our caravan must not be as simple as she said. We just need to follow her instructions!"

"Well, I also think that the snow this year seems to be too heavy. Maybe something will really happen in the north."

Since the fire at Hanhai Bookstore, more and more students have come to Moxiangzhai. Some people who originally looked down on Moxiangzhai regretted not coming earlier after experiencing the warmth and comfort of Moxiangzhai.

Chen Ping even set up two more rooms in the backyard for students to use. Every morning, there were scholars and students waiting at the door of the store. Even if all the seats were full, there were still people reading by the bookshelves and on the stairs.

After Lin Wan went there once, she saw that the order in the store was well maintained, so she didn't bother with it anymore.

The affairs of the Marquis' Mansion were almost dealt with, and Lin Wan also took a break.

The New Year celebrations have begun with great enthusiasm.

On New Year's Day, the mansion was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, and it was extremely lively.

Lin Wan had already prepared several large baskets of reward money. Early in the morning, everyone went to Lin Wan's yard to receive the reward money, and everyone was happy.

Lin Wan went to the Xiao family to have a reunion dinner with everyone.

Lu Tingxu did not go out today. After not seeing him for many days, he looked much thinner. Even though he was wearing a brand new crimson brocade robe today, he did not look very energetic.

Lord Lu was furious when he saw his expression, while Xiao just sighed and said nothing more.

During the New Year's Eve dinner, Xiao and Lord Lu gave Lin Wan a big red envelope, which looked a little thicker than Lu Tingxu's.

Several serving maids also received a small red envelope, and everyone had a beaming look on their faces.

While staying up all night, Lin Wan held a cup of hot tea and watched the fireworks blooming in the night sky. This was her new life. Although she had only been here for half a year, she already had a sense of belonging here. No matter how it was during this period, it was much more comfortable than her previous life!

Lin Wan believes that as long as she manages her business well, her life will get better and better in the future!

However, human joys and sorrows are not always the same.

She felt comfortable here, but Lin Fu felt terrible!
