Chapter 33: Letter to My Wife
Jiang Rong returned to Jinyuyuan and thought carefully about his meeting with the eldest princess today.
She vaguely guessed that the eldest princess might have a grudge against her mother.
Then put it aside for the time being.
Do what you can first. When she is strong enough, she can deal with the eldest princess.
The next day, the tenth day of March, Xie Lingxi's honeymoon ended.
According to the Daxia law, for all marriages, a nine-day leave is granted, except for the travel expenses.
Xie Lingxi works in the Pedestrian Department.
The envoys were in charge of conveying imperial edicts, conferring titles on royal family members, appeasing the four directions, recruiting talented people, and granting rewards, condolences, relief, military affairs, and sacrifices.
This is a government office that specializes in running errands. Half of the people there are children of nobles and nobles who want to spend their days there, while the other half are there as a stepping stone for successful candidates to improve their resumes.
This was a government office with few official posts but to represent the imperial court and go on diplomatic missions to various places, the official's status had to be of high rank.
A playboy like Xie Lingxi who was spoiled by the emperor certainly could not report to the government office every day like the diligent officials.
The reason why he went to the yamen today was that an errand fell on his head.
The emperor ordered the Ministry of Travel to send people to Ningshan to offer sacrifices and pray for a smooth war in the north. As the son of the commander-in-chief of the north, who else could do this job?
Jiang Rong ordered his servants to pack Xie Lingxi's luggage early in the morning and put the packed boxes on the carriage.
When he came back from the government office, she handed him a rather ugly brocade bag:
"My dear husband, be careful on your journey. This brocade bag contains the amulet I asked for two days ago at the Qingyun Taoist Temple. I hope you have a safe journey. I will wait for you to return home."
Xie Lingxi took the brocade bag with crooked stitches and put it in his arms. There was no expression on his face and he just hummed.
"I heard it's very cold in the mountains, so I put two sets of autumn clothes in the box. Jingzhe, remember to remind the prince to put on more clothes."
Jingzhe obeys the order.
"I'm afraid you won't be used to the food on the road, so you can bring the cook with you! It's always more reassuring to have someone close to you," Jiang Rong said again.
Xie Lingxi listened to her chatter patiently, and finally when he was about to get on the carriage, he saw the little girl still standing in front of the mansion gate with tears in her eyes, her eyes slightly red, and she was about to cry.
"I'll be back before the end of the month." Xie Lingxi said.
He will bring back the second medicine before the end of the month.
Jiang Rong nodded with tears in her eyes.
"What do you like? I'll buy it for you." Xie Lingxi said again.
Jiang Rong shook her head with tears in her eyes.
"Then how can I smile?" Xie Lingxi sighed.
Jiang Rong held onto the corner of Xie Lingxi's clothes and looked at him expectantly, "Can you write a letter to Rong'er?"
"Okay." Xie Lingxi thought, it's not that difficult to send a letter to report safety...
"That's great! Thank you for the love letter, my husband!" Jiang Rong hugged Xie Lingxi with a beautiful smile.
Xie Lingxi froze in place. This is really how difficult the world is, how difficult life is...
…
Out of the capital.
Xie Lingxi sat in the carriage, listening to Xiao Nanxing's report:
"Young Master, I have sent a message to the Sihai Gang, and they have arranged to trade the Hanquan Youlan in Lingzhou."
The second of the Nine Wonderful Medicines received news!
So Xie Lingxi found an excuse to leave Beijing to get the medicine.
This so-called Ningshan sacrifice was originally a suggestion made by Xie Lingxi to the emperor...
Lingzhou is near Ningshan.
"Yeah." Xie Lingxi nodded.
"Young Master, everything is going according to your arrangements, why are you frowning all the time?" Xiao Nanxing was puzzled.
Xie Lingxi looked at Xiao Nanxing with a serious expression:
"Have you ever written...a love letter?"
Xiao Nanxing immediately shook his head, "I haven't married yet, so I can't write a letter to my wife!"
"Then how do you write it? Do you know?" Xie Lingxi asked.
Xiao Nanxing and Jingzhe looked at each other and racked their brains:
"I...can find someone who has written this and ask him about it?"
…
The first day my husband left, I missed him.
Then, look at the ledger carefully.
The day after my husband left, I missed him so much.
Then, look at the account books day and night.
The fifth day after my husband left...
Finally finished reading the account book.
When Jiang Rong went to pay his respects to the old Concubine Xie again, he discussed the account books he had recently read under the pretext of asking the Concubine for advice.
"Rong girl, you have managed these shops in perfect order. Brother Xi has brought back a treasure for the Xie family." Old Concubine Xie's eyes were filled with surprise.
She didn't expect that Jiang Rong had never managed a business before, but he was able to sort out everything in just a few days.
This is exactly the mistress that all the prominent families like, who is capable of managing the family business!
"Your aunt really cares about you!" Old Concubine Xie couldn't help but sigh.
In the mansion, there are many ways to kill people without spilling blood.
Whether you teach a child with care or not can be gauged by whether the child can cope with her situation when she grows up.
The daughters of noble families, if nothing unexpected happens, will become the first wives. And being the head of the household is something they must learn.
Jiang Rong thought, you taught me all this.
How to manage household affairs, how to check account books, how to be the hostess of a mansion, she had also encountered deceptions and fallen into some traps...
I have come this far step by step over the past ten years, and I am grateful for your care.
"You are right." Jiang Rong did not refute at this time, but just nodded slightly.
"Rong'er, I think there is no time to lose. I will hand over the Xie family's assets to you today!" Old Concubine Xie smiled. She was deeply relieved that the Xie family finally had a successor.
Concubine Zhao, who was sitting beside him, looked normal and cooperated very well:
"Mother-in-law is right. I've been tired these years and I just want to have a good rest. Rong'er is good at managing the family business, so I can rest assured!"
She had already expected that the old woman would sooner or later hand over her property to this little vixen, and she wouldn't be able to delay for long!
She has set a trap.
I just don't believe that this little vixen isn't greedy and won't put it in the condom.
Jiang Rong is so eager to control the Xie family's assets, isn't it just to enrich himself? Now I'll give you this opportunity...
"How can this be possible? Rong'er is still young. She should take care of it together with Concubine Zhao." Jiang Rong pretended to refuse.
Concubine Zhao immediately said, "Just go ahead and do it. I believe you can handle it on your own."
"Then... then Rong'er will give it a try." Jiang Rong agreed with dignity.
Both Old Concubine Xie and Concubine Zhao smiled with satisfaction.
Coming out of Songhe Hall, Jiang Rong immediately instructed Yingxia:
"Go tell my aunt quickly that from now on, I want her to take good care of the Xie family's assets."
"Yes!" Yingxia hurried back excitedly to report the good news.
…
In the capital, the residence of the Earl of Loyalty.
"We have never offended the people from Wanjin Commercial Bank. They are robbing us of our money! They are robbing us of our money!" Chang burst into tears in anger.
Jiang Qingrong frowned and said, "Wanjin Commercial Bank has great financial resources. We can't compete with them. We won't do this business anymore. We will lose money if we lose money."
"It's easy for you to say that. These are all my dowry!" Chang became even angrier.
Recently, she didn't know why Wanjin Commercial Bank suddenly targeted her. The best spice shop under her name could not get the raw materials from the Western Regions. No matter how high the price was, she couldn't get the goods...
And she couldn't deliver the finished incense, and she had to pay a large sum of money to the customer who placed the order...
Her restaurant also got into trouble and someone smashed the shop because the food was not clean.
None of her businesses can operate normally.
All the money lost was gone.
