Xie Wanyu has indeed made a foolproof plan. She wants to give Mrs. Xiao a big gift.
Without Madam Xiao's intervention, Xie Wanyu's shipping matter became a big deal and everyone knew that Xie Wanyu wanted to invest all her wealth in shipping.
So they are all taking a wait-and-see attitude. If Xie Wanyu really makes money, they will naturally follow suit.
In the blink of an eye, the last piece of ice and snow in winter has melted, and the arrival of spring has added a touch of warmth to the depressed Hou Mansion.
The willow trees by the river have sprouted green branches, and the peach blossoms in front of the door are also blooming.
A gust of spring breeze blows, mixed with a rich aroma, refreshing.
Early in the morning, Zhu Fang took the bottle and took advantage of the dew on the peach blossoms. This kind of water was perfect for making tea.
After Xie Wanyu packed up, she sent Xiao Zhi to study in the front yard.
Since taking care of Xiao Jinmin, when he saw Xiao Zhi, he would only step aside from a distance, not deliberately provoking, nor pretending to be okay, simply pretending that Xiao Zhi did not exist.
Xiao Zhi didn't care about this, as long as Xiao Jinmin didn't look for trouble.
Xiao Jinmin's studies were good at first. He started early and was smart, so he was very good at knowledge. However, after Xiao Jing passed away, all Xue Xuening's thoughts were focused on fighting for the title, which also affected Xiao Jinmin's thoughts. .
But as long as he doesn't provoke Xiao Zhi, Xie Wanyu doesn't care about anything else.
Mrs. Xiao used to be able to intervene in matters in the front yard, but now she can't move while lying on the bed, so she has become a hands-off shopkeeper.
"Madam, Grandma Feng is here to collect the Yueyin." Zhu Fang said.
Xie Wanyu nodded, straightened her hair, and walked to the table.
Aunt Feng walked in and said a happy blessing with a smile.
"Mommy, why do you have to come in person? Just send a girl over to deliver the message. I will ask Zhu Fang to deliver it in person." Xie Wanyu said with a smile.
"I know you are busy, and the old lady specifically said that you must come in person, and you must not overwork yourself." Nanny Feng said politely.
Xie Wanyu smiled and said, "Grandma always loves me." As she said that, she opened the account book, then took out the key, picked up a bag of broken silver, and put it on the scale, "Look, grandma, there is not a penny missing."
Aunt Feng smiled slightly and said, "My wife knows what she does."
She was not in a hurry to leave, but seemed hesitant to speak.
Xie Wanyu naturally understood, but didn't say anything more. Instead, she got up and entered the inner room.
Grandma Feng looked anxious and was about to catch up, but was stopped by Zhu Fang, "Mammy also knows that our wife is not in good health and cannot sit for too long. If you have anything to say to me, please tell me."
"Oh, what else can be done? The old lady's health is getting worse day by day. She always needs to take some tonics. This little money is not enough." She shook her head with a frown.
"Our wife said a few days ago that if you can make money by shipping, you should be filial to the old lady first. But now that the money is tied up in business, life must be tighter." Zhu Fang said with a smile.
Originally, everyone in Yueyin had some accounts, so if Nanny Feng wanted to get more money, she would naturally have to pay it from Xie Wanyu's dowry.
It was always like this before, and Xie Wanyu just smiled and passed it by.
For the first time, Grandma Feng was disappointed.
"Life is tough now, but it won't be better in the future." Zhufang pulled Nanny Feng out and said, "I brewed some peach blossom wine. Nanny would appreciate it and take it back to taste some..."
Facing Zhufang's voice, Xie Wanyu walked out.
If you still want to ask her for money like before, then isn't her game in vain?
Divide the monthly silver in each yard, and someone will come to withdraw the money.
One after another, the distribution was completed in less than an hour.
Zhufang also came back at this time.
"The money from Panyun Mountain was directly exchanged for banknotes. I don't want this little money to affect my plans." Xie Wanyu said.
It was better to draw fuel from the cauldron than to stop the boiling water. She wanted to see how the Xiao family would covet her dowry in the future.
Zhu Fang frowned, "Madam, I only sent back one hundred taels last month, and this month, that's all." She put a purse on the table.
Xie Wanyu looked at it and estimated that it only had fifty taels.
The income in winter has not caught up with the income in summer, which is already incredible. After all, there are hot springs in Panyun Mountain in winter. Xie Wanyu also heard from several ladies at the party after the new year that she often went to Panyun Mountain to stay. .
As a result, the amount of silver sent was only five hundred taels, and last month it dropped to one hundred taels. Now spring is blooming. Xie Wanyu asked Dawu to plant many trees on the mountain, and now they are probably blooming with various flowers.
In addition, with the blessing of hot springs, the mountain is not as cold as the mountain. It is a good place for an outing. How could it only be fifty taels?
Even Zhu Fang came to his senses, "Madam, there is definitely something wrong with this."
"You are quite smart." Xie Wanyu smiled and then said, "Now that things at home are almost settled, we have to go up the mountain once."
Now Xie Wanyu is in charge of the house. After all, she is the housekeeper. Even if Xue Xuening and Xiao Yinshuang complain, they can't do anything. Mrs. Xiao has no time to take care of it because of her illness.
So even if Xie Wanyu leaves, someone will tell her what happens at home.
Xie Wanyu raised her head and was about to talk to Zhu Fang when she saw Nanny He standing there with a plate of snacks. Her face was extremely ugly.
"Aunt He, what happened?" Xie Wanyu couldn't help but ask when she saw her like this.
Aunt He shook her head repeatedly, and then asked with trembling lips, "Husband, madam, my boy will never do anything like stealing your money, madam."
Xie Wanyu was stunned for a moment, then she realized what she was doing and couldn't help but smile, "Mother He, what are you talking about?"
"Madam, I dare to guarantee it with my life. That boy of mine is a real man. He can't think of these tricks." Grandma He was already kneeling on the ground in excitement.
Xie Wanyu hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up, "Okay, Aunt He, I didn't say this has anything to do with Dawu. You are taking care of everything around me. As everyone knows, Dawu is busy with everything outside. If I don't believe it, How could he leave all these things to him?"
"That, that." Nanny He was a little confused.
"Okay, you'll know when the time comes. Now, you'd better pack up quickly. Let's go to Panyun Mountain tomorrow." Xie Wanyu said with a smile.
Although Grandma He twitched her lips, she was still a little worried.
Xie Wanyu was in constant contact with Dawu, but Grandma He didn't know about it, so when Xie Wanyu went to Panyun Mountain to check the accounts, Grandma He was so excited.
I have to say that Dawu is easier to use than Grandma He.
Early the next morning, Xie Wanyu asked the government to prepare two carriages, and took Xiao Zhi, Grandma He and Zhu Fang with them to Panyun Mountain.
Although it was a rainy day, spring rain is said to be as precious as oil, so the rain was not very heavy.
