Chapter 216: Women Running a Newspaper
When they got outside, Zai Qing saw Su Shengsheng thinking hard and shaking her head, and couldn't help but say, "I heard that General Xie drove all the shops owned by Miss Jun from the three fiefdoms."
Su Shengsheng stopped suddenly.
The Jun family is an imperial merchant, so they naturally have channels to inquire about the business world and can get directly to the emperor's eyes.
She always thought that this person was Xie Xuan's political enemy, or even from Nanzhao.
But she never thought that this person attacked her so early because... he noticed Xie Xuan's feelings for her...
At this moment, Su Shengsheng thought of Jun Yao's plan to buy Shixianglou.
Even if she wanted to deny that this was a lawsuit caused by a romantic affair, her intuition told her that Xie Xuan's expression when he questioned her was so...
"Miss?" Zai Qing was worried when he saw the changing expression on her face.
"I think General Xie and this woman have no feelings for each other..."
Su Shengsheng waved her hand to interrupt Zai Qing's words, "Who knows whether there is one or not?"
"If this is really the person, do you want me to investigate secretly?" Zai Qing asked.
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know if we try it." Su Shengsheng slowly walked onto the carriage.
When she returned, the banquet for the women had already begun.
Seeing that her fourth sister did not come out, Su Shengsheng followed the cook who delivered the meal to her fourth sister's room.
When the fourth sister saw her, she smiled first and said, "Little Ningxuan's nails grow fast, so I made her a hand guard to prevent her from scratching her face."
Seeing that the frown on Fourth Sister's brow had lessened a lot and her expression was just a little unnatural, Su Shengsheng felt relieved.
After thinking about it, she didn't say what her seventh sister said.
Even though the fourth sister was wearing slightly loose clothes, her two-month-old belly was still faintly visible.
The cook who delivered the meal was a loyal and honest woman. She finished her job quietly and then left.
"Didn't Fourth Sister always say that she wanted to help disadvantaged women?"
Su Shengsheng scooped a bowl of shredded chicken soup and handed it to her fourth sister. "I want to start a women's mutual aid newspaper, and I want you to be the editor-in-chief."
Su Yuanling was slightly startled. "Newspaper?"
Last time, she made such a wish.
But she has not been able to overcome this hurdle in her heart, and it is not easy to help women who are in the same situation as her or who have been wrongly accused.
First of all, the women suffered unspeakable experiences, and they were too ashamed to speak about them and hid in their homes.
It is unimaginably difficult to get them to stand up and bring the bad guys to justice.
"I will set up a special telegraph line, and during the hour of Hai, I will keep it clear for women's mutual aid telegrams."
Su Shengsheng knew that if a woman was hurt, she would be ashamed to see people, so it would be better for her to avoid peak hours.
Su Yuanling was slightly moved, and then she heard Su Shengsheng continue, "You don't need to leave your name, you don't need to show your face, you can open a separate corner at the telegraph station, and you can even use the power of the telegraph to catch the murderer."
Capture the murderer?
Su Yuanling, who had been avoiding people's gazes, suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Su Shengsheng, "But...how should this be done?"
Su Shengsheng smiled and handed over the chopsticks, "Eat while you talk."
The two of them ate and discussed, and before they knew it, all the awkwardness between the sisters had disappeared.
Although the Su family was suppressed by the emperor's edict this time, they unexpectedly won the hearts of the people. Knowing that the Su family was going to make a comeback through business, many people and soldiers spontaneously bought things from the Su family.
Anyway, they have to buy food and clothes when they earn money, so it doesn’t matter who they buy from, so they might as well buy everything from the Su family.
The Su family has a good reputation, so they never shortchange us on weight, and the fabrics of their clothes are really warm and practical.
Therefore, although all the Su family’s things were confiscated this time, the orders only increased and did not decrease.
Su Shengsheng knew that the family was busy now, so she didn't arrange any work for them.
In the past, County Magistrate Sang would have wanted to find more opportunities to get close to King Xuanming.
But this time, he was on pins and needles.
Even when Old Master Su toasted him and thanked him for proving that the Su family did not hurt Liu, he still felt quite ashamed.
Speaking of Liu, in order to bring his divorced wife Feng home for the New Year, after his head wound healed, he went to the county government office and was beaten with a stick.
Now the Feng Mansion is closed, and except for the servant who goes shopping, the Feng family and their two companions have not been seen going out.
Fan Shan was also deeply affected by this incident. One day while working, he fell off his horse and injured his leg, and he had to recuperate at home.
As for his three daughters, they were all taken away by their husband's families because they were disliked and ashamed.
At the full moon banquet, everyone was a little sad.
However, since the Su family has a capable son-in-law, King Xuanming, no one dares to discuss this matter.
At the banquet, only Duke Ningguo and Xie Xuan toasted each other, and the others did not dare to approach them too closely.
These two were not easy to get along with in the past.
Unexpectedly, he started to move around because of the new princess.
Su Shengsheng did not show up at the women's table. Lady Ningguo and Lady Crown Prince sat at the same table with Old Lady Su.
"I will hold a small banquet at home in a few days, and invite the entire Su family to come." Before the banquet was over, the wife of the Duke of Ningguo handed over the invitation.
This invitation was not passed through Su Shengsheng's hands, so it was known that it was specifically sent to the Su family.
"This... I'm afraid our identities are..." Old Madam Su was about to make excuses.
It is true that the Su family is in an awkward position now.
"Although my Ning family's connections are not as good as before, we still have some close friends. They also need to buy fabrics for their families."
The other party was willing to help, and Old Lady Su didn't want to put all the burden on her granddaughter, so she immediately agreed with tears in her eyes.
At another table, Bai Ping saw Su Shengsheng enter the small courtyard at the back house and did not come out again, so she also looked at her twice more.
The Bai family and the Su family had a marriage proposal in the past, so it would be inappropriate to rashly come to the home of a girl whose engagement had been cancelled.
However, although her man left, her brother, who was still with her in heart, was worried that something might happen to the princess who failed to escape.
As her younger sister, she can only come here to take a look at the situation.
But it seems that there is still some estrangement between her and the prince who forced her to marry him!
Look, she just came back from outside and glared at the prince.
Neither of them carried anyone on their backs, which shows how deep the conflict between them was.
Bai Ping really wanted to tell this good news to her brother who had finally fallen in love but had his wife taken away from him.
But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. After all, the two of them were not destined to be together.
She'd better be honest and just say she's safe.
But how did her brother know that she was going to escape?
Moreover, he didn’t bring the Su family with him this time?
Bai Ping couldn't figure it out. She saw Su Shengsheng finally come out of the courtyard, look around, and quietly walk out.
"My brother said that if Miss Su has any financial difficulties, she can just go to the Bai family's counter to withdraw money. There is no need to rush to get the long-distance transportation income back; it can all be invested in the Su family business."
This was a matter of previous cooperation, and Su Shengsheng did not mention breaking up the partnership. After all, this was normal business dealings.
"I'm planning to hold an auction in a few days, and the entrance ticket will require a deposit of 100,000 taels of silver."
"Auction?" Bai Ping didn't question what it was that cost one hundred thousand taels of silver.
"It's equivalent to a treasure appraisal conference." Su Shengsheng gave an example.
These 100,000 taels of silver were not meant to be delivered as goods, but were simply a way to prove one's own strength.
"The Bai family will definitely go." As a woman, Bai Ping never looks down on other women.
Su Shengsheng nodded.
There are so many people outside and it’s not convenient to say too much.
She let the cat out of the bag in advance, which could be considered as a way of thanking Master Bai for his help.
As for what Su Nianwei said, she did not tell her.
The two entered the house one after the other.
