Suddenly, the children's cheers came from outside the door, "Madam is back!"
Xie Wanyun came back early today and went straight to Hansong Garden instead of returning to Nongyu Hall. Lately, she has been enjoying spending time with the children more and more.
Liu Yun'er couldn't avoid it, so she had to go forward and greet him. Xie Wanyun responded calmly and didn't say much to her. Only then did Liu Yun'er feel at ease.
Jin Bai rushed forward and hugged her, smiling so hard that her teeth were showing and she shouted crisply, "Thank you, Auntie!"
Xie Wanyun stroked his snow-white little face and said with a smile, "Jinbai, did you bully Quan Ge'er again today?"
Jin Bai chuckled, "How could that be! We had such a great time. We just had a sword fight, and Quan Ge'er has improved so quickly, right?" He winked at Quan Ge'er.
Quan Ge'er originally wanted to complain, but after Jin Bai said this, he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he had to nod.
Xie Wanyun couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly.
Quan Ge'er is straightforward and simple-minded, and is often tricked by Jin Bai. However, as long as it's harmless, she never interferes.
The little girl leaned against her obediently, looking at her with eyes full of attachment.
The other children also gathered around Xie Wanyun, telling her what they had done, how many words they had learned, and how many moves they had practiced.
Xie Wanyun smiled and nodded constantly, sometimes stroking this child's head, sometimes patting another's shoulder. Although she didn't say much, her eyes were full of warmth and encouragement.
Liu Yun'er watched from the side, also feeling strange. Xie Wanyun was like a completely different person from the cold, prickly person she had been when facing the Qin family.
Maybe it's because she really likes children? After all, what woman wouldn't like children?
But Liu Yun'er couldn't understand why, if she loved children so much, she would reject Qin Su'an? She never had a good face, let alone get close to him.
How can you have a child like this? I've never heard of a woman giving birth to a child without a man.
However, this is better, because this way Qin Suan's heart will be with me.
It is not certain whether Xie Wanyun has any disease. I heard that she gave birth to a child in the past, but it was the middle of winter. Maybe she did not take good care of the child and injured her body, so she could not give birth again.
Alas, Liu Yuner sighed with feigned regret, but in her heart she felt even more proud. Not only did she have Quan Ge'er, but she was about to have another child!
Her position in the Yuanxing Marquisate was as solid as a rock.
On this day, Xie Wanyun was inspecting the shop as usual. As spring was approaching, she wanted to see if the shops with different business directions had all the goods ready.
She remembered that in her previous life, at the beginning of spring, the south was hit by freezing rain, which killed many mulberry trees. The silkworms had no mulberry leaves to eat and starved to death. This caused the price of raw silk to soar dozens of times.
She needed to stock up on a large quantity of raw silk in advance. Furthermore, since sea transport was now open and the cargo was busy, it would be much smoother than going through the canal.
She also remembered that the imperial court was preparing for war and had purchased a large amount of military supplies, including bedding, bows and arrows, cowhide, tendons, and so on. She also needed to prepare in advance. By then, with the strength of the Xie family shop, it would surely become the largest supplier.
She carefully calculated the amount needed and how much money she could afford to purchase, and borrowed from various banks to cover the shortfall. The Xie family ran a bank, so her large-scale borrowing would not arouse suspicion.
For several days, Xie Wanyun sorted out these things one by one, including how much of each material needed to be purchased, where to buy it from, which ones could be bought on credit, and which ones could only be paid in cash.
Then he distributed the silver that could be spent one by one, made a list, and handed it to the major managers under his command, asking them to purchase it as soon as possible.
Although everyone was somewhat puzzled, they all trusted Xie Wanyun unconditionally. Since the boss wanted to do this, then they would do it.
The day finally came to an end. Xie Wanyun stood up from his desk, feeling a sore back and a stiff neck.
