Chapter 238: Treat others in their own way
"I fell in love with Sixth Miss at first sight, and it was also my wishful thinking. I overestimated my own abilities and coveted something that did not belong to me. From now on, I will not bother Sixth Miss Su again. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
Ning Zhiqian closed his eyes and spoke these words word by word with trembling voice.
The wife of the Earl of Ningyuan also lowered her head, the skin on her face trembling, and she hated Jiang Yu in her heart, but she did not have the courage to express it and did not dare to offend him in person.
The world is really going downhill. Yesterday she was still arrogant in the Su family, but today it is her turn to be bullied in the same way.
However, although Ning Zhiqian expressed his opinion, Jiang Yu was still not satisfied with some aspects:
"She is not an object for you to weigh the pros and cons of, nor is she the cornerstone of your stable position. I also believe that the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion is not the kind of short-sighted aristocratic family. However, your rash proposal has made Master Su and Madam Su anxious and unable to sleep at night. It is really worrying.
Of course, this prince thinks that the young master and the daughter of the Suzhou Shunyi Earl are a perfect match. I don't know when we'll be able to drink the wedding wine together. Actually, I've met the young master a few times before, although it wasn't always a pleasant experience. However, this prince will definitely present a gift to the young master on his wedding day to express his best wishes."
It was just a statement, but Jiang Yu was still not satisfied. He spoke for Su Wan in both words and deeds, and hinted that Earl Ning Yuan could go and apologize to Su's father and mother. He even urged him to get married openly, saying that only when Ning Zhiqian got married could he completely give up the idea of marrying Su Wan.
Moreover, he has been jumping around in his own minefield for so long, so he deserves to marry a woman he doesn't like.
The legitimate daughter of the Earl of Shunyi in Suzhou is plain in appearance but has outstanding talent. The legitimate son of the Earl of Ningyuan is handsome but not famous for his talent. They complement each other perfectly and are a perfect match.
But the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion was a noble family after all, and it was not something that could be destroyed by just a few words from him. Moreover, he disdained to really use the power of the Jiangguo Mansion to suppress them.
Whether a family can prosper in the long run depends on the hard work and progress of its descendants from generation to generation. If you pin your hopes on a woman in order to preserve your glory for a day or a night, how can you be considered a gentleman?
He is the one who looks down on people like this. If you have the ability, you can rely on yourself to make the title continue to be hereditary, then you are worthy of being his opponent.
He is using his power to oppress others today, and he is also treating others in their own way.
"Your Highness is right. We were inconsiderate. One day we will personally go to Mr. and Mrs. Su to apologize." Earl Ning Yuan was so embarrassed today that he didn't care about bowing to Jiang Yu again.
Jiang Yu left the Earl of Ningyuan's Mansion. After he left, Earl Ningyuan got very angry and smashed everything.
Ning Zhiqian was also extremely decadent. He had been drinking for several days in a row, with an unshaven beard and unkempt appearance, and he refused to see anyone.
Half a month after Su Yi went to the Earl of Ningyuan's Mansion, Earl Ningyuan and his wife came to visit again.
Su's father and mother thought that they were here to force marriage again, and they were very anxious.
Su Yi went straight to the front yard and stopped the Ning Yuanbo couple.
"Master, Madam, I think I made it very clear the last time I went to the Earl's Mansion. Our Su family is not a good match for the Earl's Mansion, and we have no intention of getting married. I am afraid that I will cause trouble for the young master. If you feel that I have offended you, please forgive me. If you are really unhappy, this is my own fault. You are free to punish me or punish me as you wish."
Su Yi only hated that he was now powerless and could not protect Su Wan from the wind and rain. All he could do was to face the difficulties head-on and use his body to block them.
The uncle and his wife actually looked unhappy, but they came here today to apologize.
"Fifth Young Master, you have misunderstood. We are here today to deliver the invitation."
"Invitation, what invitation?" Su Yi made a vigilant gesture.
"This is my son's wedding invitation. We have formed an alliance with the Earl's Mansion of Shunyi, Suzhou, and the wedding will be held in two months. I was very offensive when I came to propose marriage before, so I came today to apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Su and to deliver the invitation." The Earl's wife explained patiently. This certainly couldn't be said by the Earl, as that would be too shameful.
This time Su Yi really didn’t understand. What happened in just half a month?
Why did the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion suddenly change its mind and arrange marriage with someone else, and even lower its status to apologize to their family?
"I don't know where Mr. Su and Mrs. Su are. I will go and talk to them myself."
Earl Ning Yuan came today to apologize to Su's father and mother, so of course he had to see them in person.
Su Yi had no choice but to take them to meet Su's father and mother. The old couple were ready to face a new round of storms, but as soon as Ning Yuanbo and his wife came in, they apologized to him, saying that it was an offense for them to come to their house and ask for Miss Su Liu's hand in marriage, and hoped that they would let go of the past grudges.
Then, respectfully hand them the invitations and ask them to come to the wedding banquet on the day.
Even after the Ningyuan couple passed away, Su's father and mother still hadn't reacted and felt like they were dreaming.
The Earl and Countess came to apologize to them personally and then sent them an invitation?
Do they have such a big face?
However, this is also a good thing. At least their daughter Wanwan is safe and no longer has to be forced to marry someone she doesn't like.
…
It took Su Wan seven days to reach the capital of Suzhou. She rested in the inn for a day to regain her strength before going to the local pawnshop to check on the shop.
Now that she has money, she must choose a shop with a good location, good orientation and good internal layout to open a branch of Yuyantang.
With so many businessmen traveling between Suzhou and Xiangzhou, the news of Xiangzhou goat milk soap must have spread here a long time ago, and it is quite well-known. There is no need to find an agent, just open a store and sell it. Good things never lack supporters or sales channels.
She found a shop in the most prosperous area with the largest flow of people. The area was about the same size as Yuyan Hall in Xiangzhou. She spent 1,200 taels of silver to buy it. After that, she had to find someone to decorate it, make a plaque, and then recruit talents and hire a manager who could write and calculate to run the store.
The person must have good moral character and a clean family background. Preference will be given to those who have experience as a shopkeeper. Most importantly, only female shopkeepers are recruited.
At that time, a series of documents will be signed. If Yuyantang suffers any loss of interests, she will be responsible and pay the penalty for breach of contract.
Moreover, the main workshop will be set up in Xiangzhou, and Suwan will form a professional team to escort the goods back and forth, so there will be no problem of secret recipe leakage.
While Yuyan Hall was being renovated, a job notice was posted. Su Wan stayed in a well-known local restaurant. If there were any applicants interested in this job, they could come directly to the inn to discuss the matter with her.
It took seven days to travel, two days to look at the shop, and if we hired a few more craftsmen to complete the decoration, it would be completed in half a month.
The most urgent task is to recruit a suitable female manager, who will open all the Suzhou and Yanzhou markets before the New Year.
