Substitute Marriage Exile: The Grand Consort Cultivates the Great Northern Granary

Sang Zhixia was once a promising agricultural博士, but after a fall, she became a poor concubine forced into a substitute marriage! On her wedding day, the groom rushed into the bridal chamber an...

Chapter 293 Yes, I did it on purpose

Sang Zhixia still has a lot to learn about business.

Aunt Xu spoke very knowledgeably about this matter and in just a few words she helped her outline a feasible path.

"Xia Xia, just listen to Second Aunt and you'll be right."

"Many people come to inquire about soap flowers. I always tell them that this is a business run by a daughter of mine. A soap flower shop in the city will open soon, and I'll be sending invitations to every household to invite customers."

"You better hurry up and get the shop ready before the next batch of soap flowers are demolded."

Aunt Xu smiled as she held the water bowl and said cheerfully, "The introduction has been thrown out. What's missing is just enough soap flowers and a shop where people can go in to choose and pay."

"Once you've tidied up your shop, I'll personally help you send out invitations everywhere to invite customers. I guarantee that your shop will be bustling on the first day, and it won't be deserted from then on!"

Sang Zhixia did have the idea of ​​opening a shop specializing in selling soap flowers, but she never had time to think about it in detail.

After being reminded by Aunt Xu today, I suddenly felt the novelty of the shop being right in front of me.

Sang Zhixia said jokingly, "If I open my own shop, won't it be hard to sell the soap flowers in Second Aunt's shop?"

"If you start shouting, the embroidery shop won't sell this thing anymore."

Second Aunt Xu waved her hand and said, "It's the rarity of the goods that matters, not the quantity. We're selling them on the premise of being unique."

"If the embroidery shop also displays soap flowers, buyers will inevitably find faults and compare them back and forth. Wouldn't that be extra trouble?"

Not to mention the future, even the money earned from this sale, Aunt Xu would not keep a single cent.

Sang Zhixia came up with the prescription and the idea.

She just took it out from the embroidery shop. The family had to settle the account clearly. Such a bargain cannot be taken.

Aunt Xu's words were clear. Sang Zhixia had her own thoughts and didn't dwell on this point.

But now that she has returned to the farm, the management of the Modingshan tea plantation has to be left to Xu Yu.

Sang Zhixia just turned her eyes away, and Xu Yu immediately said tactfully, "Don't worry, Zhizhi, I'm watching over here."

Sang Zhixia wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Under Aunt Xu's intense gaze, Xu Yu quickly assured her, "I've taken note of everything you've said these past few days. The tea path construction and paving work will be completed quickly. I guarantee it will be exactly as you envisioned, without any mistakes."

Before Sang Zhixia could say anything, Aunt Xu was amused by Xu Yu's tact.

Second Aunt Xu stood up and said, "Xia Xia, no matter how big or small Xu Yu is, there's no way he'll mess up what you're talking about. Just don't worry."

"It's better to do it sooner rather than later. It's settled now, so let's go back now?"

Since she has come here in person, Aunt Xu will not give up unless she brings Sang Zhixia back.

Sang Zhixia had nothing to worry about going home, so Xu Yu went to pack her things without saying a word.

When Xu Yu sent her to the carriage, he also specifically reminded her: "Second Aunt, there is no need to rush back. Don't let Zhizhi get off the carriage and ride the horse."

"The wind is very cold. If she continues to ride against the wind, I'm afraid her body won't be able to bear it."

It is chilly in spring.

Although the weather has warmed up now, Xu Yu still can't feel at ease because it takes a long time to take mulberry branches in summer.

Aunt Xu was originally smiling, but when she heard this she frowned: "Horseback riding?"

"The snow hasn't even melted yet, when did you start riding in the wind?"

Just as Xu Yu was about to open his mouth, Sang Zhixia pushed him aside without hesitation and quickly got into the car: "How old are you, and you're still complaining?"

"Go and fix the road, or I'll catch you and kill you!"

Xu Yu didn't really want to kill the pig.

To be precise, Xu Yu found it difficult to accept even the pigpen.

Xu Yu, who loved cleanliness and hated stench, shut up, but Second Aunt Xu's belated nagging had already reached Sang Zhixia's ears: "Xia Xia, your mother-in-law repeatedly warned you before you left, and you've forgotten everything?"

"Second Aunt, wasn't I anxious? I..."

"You can't ride a horse in this cold weather even if you're anxious!"

"I……"

"Have you forgotten what Mr. Hu said? If Xu Yu hadn't pleaded for you, you would have had to drink that tonic soup for a while!"

"Second Aunt, I really just..."

"I don't want to hear you."

Second Aunt Xu sneered, "Let your mother-in-law nag you when you get home. When she starts wiping away tears, you'll realize how powerful she is!"

When Sang Zhixia heard that she was going to tell Xu Wenxiu, her scalp went numb. She hurriedly grabbed Second Aunt Xu's arm and said, "Second Aunt, listen to my excuses... No, listen to my explanation!"

The voices coming from the carriage were crushed by the rolling wheels, and nothing could be heard from further away.

Xu Yu turned to leave with a contented look on his face. Song Liu, who had been left behind to assist him, quickly followed him, saying in a complicated tone, "Young Master, with what you just said, the boss will definitely be criticized when he returns home."

Other people's nagging might be easy to deal with, but Xu Wenxiu's...

When Song Liu thought of the former marquis' wife, his expression became extremely subtle.

Sang Zhixia's ears will definitely suffer when she goes back this time.

Xu Yu thought about what he had heard and said contentedly, "Yes, I know."

Song Liu was puzzled and asked, "If the young master knows, then why is he still..."

"I did it on purpose."

Song Liu: “…”

Xu Yu raised his eyebrows in a playful arc, and although he was ruthless in his heart, his eyes were filled with tenderness.

He was reluctant to say anything more about Sang Zhixia's inconsideration.

But he will complain.

What's wrong with how old you are?

No matter how big it is, it won't stop him from talking about it through other people's mouths.

After being scolded enough, Sang Zhixia didn't dare to ride a horse in the cold again.

Absolutely not.

Song Liu secretly thanked Sang Zhixia for not hearing what he had said. Xu Yu narrowed his eyes and took in the overall view of Heiya Village. He said calmly, "Has Deputy General Wu made any arrangements?"

Song Liu suppressed the sigh on his face and lowered his head, saying, "It's already been agreed that the manpower will be in place by this evening at the latest."

When Chen Nianhe heard about Sang Zhixia's idea of ​​planting a lot of tea trees and turning them into tea mountains, the only option left was to send more people for support.

Food, accommodation and salary are provided, so what you save is what you earn.

General Chen really didn't hesitate at all and agreed very readily.

With enough manpower, looking at the neat Mo Ding Mountain, a smile flashed in Xu Yu's eyes.

It's just building a few mountain roads, not leveling the mountain.

This little thing can be done quickly.

Xu Yu brushed his sleeves calmly and said slowly, "People are here and we'll start work tomorrow. We have to finish this before the farm work is finished. Don't delay me from going home to butcher the pigs and make oil. Got it?"

Someone was waiting at home and he was anxious.

Song Liu's mouth twitched and he lowered his head and said okay.

"Don't worry, young master, there will be no delay."

In the evening of that day, a team led by Lieutenant General Wu arrived at Moding Mountain, bringing with them a large amount of stone.

Chen Nianhe made it clear that these stones were equivalent to a return gift to Sang Zhixia, and it was not a big benefit.

Xu Yu, who was always in a bad mood around others, sneered and said, "It's rare that there are benefits that General Chen doesn't want."

Deputy General Wu ignored him, nodded, and smiled. He stepped closer and said in a voice only Xu Yu could hear, "The general also asked me to bring a message to Young Master Xu."

Xu Yu lowered his eyelashes and said, "Speak."

"The general said that Young Master Xu's previous guess was correct."

"It is indeed the person you have been investigating for a long time."
