The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Tao Xuelin put down the teacup in his hand, nodded and replied: "According to people around him, this man came back from the Huguang area. He also made a bold statement that he would buy as much grain as there was on the market and would never lower the price."

Abnormality must lead to demons.

Hearing Tao Xuelin's words, these words flashed through Gu Jinchu's mind.

She frowned slightly, if it was really as the businessman named Yan said.

He may not be the master behind this, because someone who truly controls so much wealth would not be so ostentatious and high-profile.

Perhaps he wanted to achieve some purpose by doing this.

Gu Jinchu instructed Tao Xuelin: "I know about this matter. Let's wait and see. If there is a flood in the Yellow River Basin, this batch of grain may be of great use."

Tao Xuelin stood up from the brocade stool when he heard this, and his attitude was even more respectful than before. He cupped his hands and said, "Master, you are righteous!"

Tao Yuanzheng's wife had just given birth to a big fat boy weighing 7.2 jin. Speaking of his grandson, the taciturn Tao Xuelin became talkative.

Gu Jinchu talked to him about the child for a while and then sent him away.

Before I even stepped into the main room, I heard the tender cry of Nuonuo. Soon, Tuanzi also started crying.

When she returned to the inner room, the crying of the two little ones stopped.

Two wet nurses were holding their babies and feeding them. When they saw the Fifth Lady coming back, they smiled at her.

Gu Jinchu nodded, walked aside and sat down, lowering his eyes and thinking about what Tao Xuelin had just said.

That batch of grain was originally prepared for my third uncle.

He returned to Shengjing City from Sanjiang Fort to report on his work, and now serves as the Minister of War.

Of course, the situation in the previous life would not have happened, and food and supplies could not be delivered to Sanjiang City on time and in the right quantity.

The 300,000 dan of grain definitely took up a large portion of her money.

If I sell these, I can also make up for the part that was previously sent to Sanjiang Fortress.

For businessmen, it is a sure win.

She knew from the beginning that Tao Xuelin was not a qualified businessman.

Although he is not indecisive, soft-heartedness is his shortcoming, but also his greatest strength.

The reason why I kept the Tao family around me was because I valued this quality of Tao Xuelin.

She understood the crux of his dilemma. Tao Xuelin did not agree with the wealthy businessman named Yan who was making a fortune from the national crisis at this time.

So after he left, Gu Jinchu asked him to investigate the man surnamed Yan carefully again.

I feel that the Tao family won’t gain much.

What can be known to others must be what he wants to present to the public. You might as well tell Wu Ye to help check this matter.

I also need to say something to the Zheng family and my grandmother.

After the two children had eaten and burped, they were placed in their cribs.

Gao sat beside them, fanning them with a round fan, while He held a basket in her arms and threaded the needle quickly.

Gu Jinchu looked at what Gao was holding and asked her in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

"Madam, the young masters play on their beds during the day, so it is inevitable that they may be bitten by mosquitoes because they are not well taken care of. I thought, would it be better if we could make a mosquito net?" He replied.

He's husband's family is a carpenter, and she became less reserved when she said this.

She had just given birth to her first child, and her husband made a mosquito net for the child. Except for the carpentry work, everything else was done by her.

Gu Jinchu nodded, and when he saw that she was holding cotton and linen cloth in her hand, he turned around and asked someone to take out a piece of real silk from her private storehouse.

"Use this to make it breathable and not light-blocking."

Silk is expensive, but she would be willing to spend it if it was good for her two children.

At this time, Mother Cheng came in and whispered to Gu Jinchu, "Mr. Jiang San is here."

Mr. Jiang San?

Gu Jinchu couldn't help but think of what Aunt Zhao and her daughter from Lanyuan did last time.

Could it be that Mr. Jiang San discovered that she was behind this?

She felt that a man who could take away most of the dowry of his wife and favor his concubines and illegitimate daughters was not a good man.

Gu Jinchu suppressed his expression and told his servant to pass the message over.

After entering the main hall, Mr. Jiang San did not move forward. Instead, he stood still and nodded to Gu Jinchu, "Sister-in-law, sorry to bother you."

Compared to the last time I saw him, the gloomy aura on Mr. Jiang San seemed to have dissipated a little. He was still wearing a black straight-legged suit, which made him look particularly tall and thin.

Gu Jinchu smiled slightly and bowed.

After the servant served tea, he extended his hand and asked him to sit down, "I wonder if Third Brother is here, but is there anything I can do for you?"

Mr. Jiang San sat in the chair farthest from Gu Jinchu and said slowly, "I know that your sister-in-law is in good health, so I came here to thank you."

He lowered his eyes and cupped his hands, "Although your third sister-in-law is sometimes rash and her words are sometimes unpleasant to the ear, she often thinks of your fifth brother's wife at home and takes good care of her on weekdays."

Listening to the two sentences together, it really is because of the letter that was intercepted.

Gu Jinchu smiled lightly, "We are all family, Third Brother is too polite."

She didn't do that just for the third wife.

There are other girls in the Jiang family. We can't drag down all the unmarried girls just because Jiang Yiyu has bad character.

Third Master Jiang lowered his eyes and looked at the ground. "Not long ago, someone told me that someone in the market was buying grain at a high price... Fifth brother's wife also knows that I don't have much business sense and have made many unprofitable deals in the past."

Tao Xuelin might not have even reached home yet, but someone else came to talk to her about food. It was Mr. Jiang Sanye from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement.

Gu Jinchu smiled and said, "In business, there are gains and losses. Third sister-in-law has been exposed to these things since she was young. Third brother might as well discuss things with her when he encounters something."

In her previous life, Li had unconditionally supported her husband in business. She had even approached her sisters-in-law to lend money to Mr. Jiang San for cash flow.

She had been married for more than a year, but it seemed that she had never heard of Li asking for money.

Mr. Jiang San came here today, could it be that he wanted to borrow money from her under the pretext of expressing his gratitude?

Third Master Jiang smiled, "Don't be nervous, Fifth Brother's wife...Looking back now, the people who found me are probably not reliable, so this matter is even more impossible."

Gu Jinchu didn't expect that he had wronged him.

If Mr. Jiang Sanye had seen things clearly earlier, the third house's private property would not have been given away so much.

Third Master Jiang stood up and said, "Your Third Sister-in-law and I have received a lot of help from your Fifth Sister-in-law. I don't know if what I said is helpful to your Fifth Sister-in-law, so I won't bother you anymore."

Gu Jinchu performed a blessing ceremony again and asked Mother Cheng to see Mr. Jiang San out.

Bai Zhi stood aside and asked in a low voice: "Are the Third Master and Shopkeeper Tao talking about the same thing?"

Gu Jinchu looked at the tea in the cup, raised his head to look at Bai Zhi and asked, "Do you feel a sense of familiarity in this?"

"What's familiar?" Bai Zhi tilted her head, looking confused.

In every family, not all children will be successful.

Just like the Gu family before.

In order to achieve their goal, Zhao Xu asked someone to bribe the family of the first wife. This way, they would have the upper hand and use the first wife to achieve their goal in the future.

And now someone is trying to extend his influence to the Jiang family.

Gu Jinchu shook her head, perhaps she was overthinking it.
