Chapter 2 Stockpiling in Ancient Times



"I can't sleep. Xianghe, gather together all the maids and servants in our yard who are good at sewing.

I have a few patterns for the clothes. Sew the clothes and the bags as I tell you. Use fine cotton for the lining inside and coarse cotton for the outside.

After thinking it over, Su Qi decided to keep a low profile and make a fortune quietly.

Su Qi knew in her heart that she couldn't leave the general's mansion.

The laws of Dashun were very harsh. After marriage, women had to obey their husbands and sons, and the conditions for divorce were very harsh.

Even after the divorce, she would have to remarry and have children immediately. Without a travel permit, she couldn't even leave the capital.

Rather than going out in the dark, it is better to fight with the narrow-minded author.

She just didn't believe that with more than ten years of learning Chinese medicine from the old man who exploited people, and a space for supplies, she could still live a hard life.

That would be really unfair to the kind person who gave her the space.

Xiang He looked puzzled, but she didn't say anything. She just followed her master's orders.

"Then I'll gather everyone together first and make a few samples for the Second Young Master's wife to review?"

"As you say."

Su Qi pointed to the pattern of flowers next to her and asked Xiang He to take it to the needlework worker for review.

Xiang Heyuan also knew how to sew, so she naturally understood how to make things. But she was curious about what the Second Young Master's wife needed such an item for.

While thinking about its purpose, he bowed and walked out.

Su Qi watched the maid go out, then she also left the house and walked towards the warehouse.

The furniture in the Qingfengyuan warehouse must be put away first.

Half of it was dowry from my original mother's family. My original father was an upright official in the Hanlin Academy. The family was noble, but had few assets.

Naturally, the dowry was not as generous as others, but fortunately, my original mother was a person who knew how to manage life.

He didn't care what others thought and opened a few shops in the capital. Gradually, he had enough money to buy farmland.

The days gradually become more fulfilling.

When the original body got married, Su Qi's mother gave a lot of personal belongings as a dowry.

There are a lot of fabrics, gold, silver and jewelry in the warehouse.

Ginseng as thick as an arm, Ganoderma lucidum as big as a basin, and Dendrobium as thick as a finger. All the herbs were brought back by Gu Beiheng through someone else. Most of them went to the main courtyard. A small portion was given to Su Qi.

There are also some furniture, chairs, kang screens, and furniture made of rosewood.

Pick out all the delicate items and take them away.

All that remained were the porcelain bottles bestowed by the emperor, which looked good but were useless, and a few of the emperor's own calligraphy and paintings.

There are also glazed screens on the kangs presented as tribute by the small tribes of the East China Sea...

To put it simply, that thing is glass mixed with impurities.

Su Qi looked down on that thing. There was plenty of glass without impurities in the space.

There was a large parking lot behind the Space Supermarket. Now that it was empty, it was just the right place for her to store these items.

He reached out one by one and took them all in.

Out of the warehouse in my yard.

He quietly came to the warehouse in the yard of the next-door eldest son Gu Beihan's house.

There will be no one here...

Su Qi took out a master key.

Just a poke.

Unlocked.

Su Qi slipped in happily.

Wow.

After all, he is the eldest son of the General Protector of the Nation, and there are really a lot of treasures in his warehouse.

It seems to be more than twice as many as their Qingfengyuan.

Su Qi doesn't want to leave anything behind.

Anyway, the old man can’t take the things away, so there is no reason to give them to the dog emperor.

His hands kept touching it.

Su Qi's pair of titanium dog eyes were almost blinded by the glare, boxes of gold and silver.

Is the wife of the eldest family so rich?

Logically speaking, Gu Beihan shouldn't be so rich. It must be the dowry from his wife Fang Xiaoya.

Thinking of Gu Beihan and Fang Xiaoya's daughter Gu Jingru, Su Qi's eyes were filled with coldness.

The little koi that was reborn changed her fate by absorbing other people's luck.

Taking over her warehouse is just like collecting some interest.

This time, not even the bulky ones were left behind.

All of them were collected by Su Qi into the space.

After coming out.

The sun is shining brightly today, perfect for stealing something.

Su Qi slapped his forehead and ran straight to the big warehouse in the mansion.

It was broad daylight and there were only two guards on duty.

A tube of sleeping pills was blown over.

Su Qi unlocked the door neatly and efficiently.

Run to the granary first.

The granary in the general's mansion is definitely big enough, and it is estimated to contain several tons of grain.

The old lady in charge was very worried and had specially stockpiled a large granary filled with rice, wheat, and corn.

White rice, white flour...there are quite a few of these.

Su Qi reached out her hand.

The huge granary disappeared in an instant and settled down in her space.

Fabrics: various types of silk, brocade, brocade, fine cotton, and cotton. Cotton cloth for servants, coarse cotton cloth for servants, coarse cloth...

Great supplements, herbs...etc.

There were also boxes of pills, such as Baoji Pills, pills for women giving birth, medicine for wounds, medicine for hemorrhoids...all taken away.

at last.

Even the antique shelves and porcelain bottles from the official kilns bestowed by the emperor were included.

All that remained were calligraphy and paintings written by the emperor himself, as well as rough bed frames, chairs and tables used by the servants.

Like a swarm of locusts.

Su Qi clapped his hands in satisfaction and left.

After working for half a day, my waist, hands and legs are sore and cramping.

You have to eat and drink enough, and then catch the opportunity to be a locust again.

Return to Qingfeng Courtyard.

Su Qi asked Xianghe to call Xiaoliuzi, the servant who was waiting at the second gate.

Xiao Liuzi always obeyed the original body's orders and received the most rewards every time.

After hearing the letter, he ran over anxiously to get the message.

"Greetings, Madam Second Young Master. I heard that the Second Young Master has entered the palace, and I'm afraid the Emperor's reward has followed. Madam Second Young Master, just look forward to the good days ahead." Xiao Liuzi is sweet-mouthed and knows how to read people's faces.

Su Qi's eyes twitched. What reward?

However, his merits and demerits offset each other, and he was exiled to Jinyang Prefecture in the southwest as a commoner, and was never allowed to enter the capital or take the imperial examination.

Nor can you join the army.

The move of not being able to join the army without passing the imperial examination is extremely cruel.

No longer a major concern for the emperor.

Su Qi was not as happy as usual.

He ordered in a deep voice:

"Sixth son, go buy me a few hundred kilograms of high-quality cotton. Also, buy me 1,800 steamed buns. Exchange the remaining fifty taels of silver for the medicine shop and buy some more pills for the cold."

After a pause, he said:

"Find a few more blacksmith shops and buy me any ironware you want."

Xiao Liuzi was completely confused.

Although he was confused, he still readily accepted the task. "Second Young Master's wife, don't worry. I guarantee that the task will be completed."

Su Qi asked Xiang He to hand over three silver notes of 500 taels each. "Do your job well and don't let others see it."

"I've bought it and sent it in through the west corner gate. It's in the small courtyard next to it."

Xiao Liuzi immediately put away his curiosity.

A crisp response followed.

Xiang He felt that the Second Young Master's wife was different today, so she handed Su Qi a cup of tea.

"Second Young Master's Madam, are you a little different today?"

"Xiang He, I just had a nightmare. These are to be given to the beggars at the city gate and the poor people in the slums to the west."

"So the Second Young Master's wife is having a nightmare. Naturally, we need to give her some alms, and it's also a good omen for the Second Young Master to return and live in harmony with his wife from now on."

Harmony between husband and wife?

Thinking of that poor man, would he come here if he didn't sympathize with him?

His eyes darkened. "You're teasing me, you idiot. I'll choose a husband for you tomorrow."

Xiang He blushed:

"The Second Young Master's wife is making fun of this servant again."

"I will go pick up the two young masters first, and they will have lunch later."

Xianghe finished speaking.

He walked out straight away with the curtain closed.

Dabao and Erbao were taken to the city gate to watch Gu Beiheng return to the capital to report on his work. He must have already returned home by now.

Xiang He is a steady and prudent person. She is considered as the confidant of the original body. When the nest is overturned, no one will be left unscathed.

Maids, old women and servants were treated like livestock and were sold on the spot in the government-run human trafficking market.

Su Qi also had a plan in mind.

The two big maids around her naturally had to be dismissed.

Su Qi thought about it and realized that it was not time for dinner yet.

I ate two snacks and drank a pot of tea.

Came to the big kitchen of the public school.

The kitchen was bustling with activity. Gu Beiheng would return to Beijing to report on his work, and he would surely be rewarded. Perhaps even his position as General of the Northwest would be elevated.

Everyone in the general's mansion was in high spirits.

There was joy everywhere, as if the emperor had issued an imperial decree, opening the treasury and selecting some gold, silver, and jewels to send over.

Su Qi shook her head, thinking it was honey, but she didn't know it was arsenic.

She looked at everyone and saw that no one was paying attention to her.

Quietly, he entered the courtyard behind the large kitchen. Various stoves were stored away.

Hundreds of kilograms of silver carbon and thousands of kilograms of charcoal were all collected.

There is a room next door.

There was a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil in it, so all of it was put away.

Don't leave any salt or seasonings behind.

We also have tea, and we will take it away regardless of whether it is good or bad.

Several jars of wine stood in the corner, each weighing about fifty pounds. Wine was a valuable commodity during exile, so naturally it had to be taken away.

Let’s collect all the exquisite snacks first.

After Su Qi came out, she saw that no one was paying attention to her. She also took away several plates of tender ham, braised pork elbow, roast goose, and boiled chicken...

Just as she was about to take action again, a maid in the house discovered her.
