Chapter 435 Even if you have the ability, you can’t be shameless
Princess's Mansion.
After settling the three children, Song Yanxi locked herself in the study and stayed there for an hour.
Zhuzhi felt so distressed when she saw this that she quickly went to the kitchen to make some sweet soup and brought it to her.
When she entered the room, she saw her daughter sitting motionless at the table, staring at the bright yellow scroll on the table in a daze.
When Zhuzhi realized what it was, her eyes instantly turned red and she almost cried out loud on the spot.
Finally, the girls finally got what they wanted.
Song Yanxi looked up at the noise and couldn't help but teasingly said, "I haven't seen you for half a year, why are you still a little crybaby?"
Zhuzhi burst into laughter instantly, "Girl always teases me."
She carefully placed the sweet soup on the table and looked at the bright yellow scroll, which stated that the two were allowed to divorce and that the General's Mansion was required to pay 30,000 taels of silver as compensation. She gritted her teeth in anger.
"The Lin family dared to bully the young lady like this. It's clear that they don't take Your Majesty seriously. Your Majesty should punish them severely.
But silver is not enough, they should be fined ten thousand taels of gold."
"That makes sense." Song Yanxi slowly rolled up the scroll and said seriously, "Although the general's mansion is a bit out of the way, it has a large area. It has been renovated in the past two years. If it is put up in the shop, I think it will sell for ten thousand taels of silver without any problem."
Zhuzhi's eyes widened, and after a long while, he managed to utter, "Who wants their shabby house? I wouldn't even want it for free."
After saying that, he still felt it was not enough and spat again, "Bad luck!"
She walked around behind Song Yanxi and massaged her shoulders, saying distressedly, "Miss, the general's mansion is extremely poor right now. Even if we sell the house, I'm afraid we won't be able to raise 30,000 taels of silver."
“Who says they don’t have money?”
Zhuzhi was stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up instantly.
Yes, how could she forget about Princess Shihan?
The general's mansion is poor, but she is rich.
The thought of these bamboo branches suddenly made him feel full of energy. While massaging Song Yanxi's shoulders, he reported on the latest situation in the capital.
Among them, Juweizhai has been doing a booming business recently, and Song Xubai intends to send people to other places to open branches. However, Shuzhuang under the name of Zhuang Shihan has been disliked by the aristocratic families in Beijing, and its business has plummeted.
When she got excited, she said with a cheerful face: "Those novelties that Princess Shihan has come up with are indeed attractive, but any respectable family in the capital values their reputation more than their life and property.
Nowadays, when every family holds a banquet, the ladies and nobles compete not for who has the prettiest dress or the most dazzling headgear, but for who can resist going to Princess Shihan's shop to show their support."
Song Yanxi laughed, "Girl, you haven't been busy with other things these days, but you've been busy asking about these gossips?"
Zhuzhi cried out that she was wronged and said hurriedly, "Ever since the young lady left, I have been following the young master to learn how to do business. Now even the lady praises my accounts.
Besides, this isn't just gossip; it's already spread throughout the streets and alleys of Beijing."
Song Yanxi paused slightly, a little surprised.
Normally, Zhuzhi would get a headache when she heard the word "settlement of accounts".
From afar, I saw Zhu Yu coming back with the account book, running faster than anyone else.
Why did you suddenly change your temper?
Meeting her gaze, Zhuzhi smiled sheepishly and said in a muffled voice, "Princess Shihan has several capable managers under her, each one more shrewd than the other when it comes to accounting. I'm afraid Zhuyu can't handle it all by herself."
Song Yanxi frowned, "Did you confront them head-on?"
Speaking of this, Zhuzhi was filled with anger and gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know where Princess Shihan recruited these people from. Some of them acted very despicable.
A while ago, seeing that our restaurant was doing well, they were playing dirty tricks behind our backs. Fortunately, the young master was prepared and blocked them all."
Her hands kept moving, and she asked angrily, "Miss, didn't she claim to be upright and honest and looked down on us for playing tricks before?
Why can't I be so honest when it happens to me?"
"Princess Shihan has always been open about hiring people; anyone with talent is welcome."
Zhuzhi muttered, "Even if you have the ability, you can't be shameless."
Song Yanxi: “…”
This is really true, and it is impossible to refute it.
Seeing that she was about to close the box, Zhuzhi asked timidly, "Miss, can I take another look?"
Song Yanxi raised her eyebrows, "Didn't you see clearly just now?"
Thinking about how he was so engrossed in watching something that he almost dropped the sweet soup on his own girl's hand, Zhuzhi blushed and said, "The girl is making fun of me again."
Song Yanxi smiled without saying anything, handed the brocade box to her and said, "Keep it carefully, your girl will be of great use at a critical moment."
When Zhuzhi heard this, her little face immediately wrinkled into a bitter gourd.
She glanced at her own daughter, wanting to say something but not daring to.
It was obvious that he was frightened by her temper before going to the battle and dared not do it again.
Song Yanxi is two years older than her, and they have been friends since childhood, so how could she not see what she is thinking?
This girl was probably afraid that she would make a mistake at the last moment.
She was in no hurry to speak, and Song Yanxi didn't ask either. Zhuzhi was so anxious that he paced on the spot.
Seeing her drinking the sweet water slowly, Zhuzhi felt as if there was a tabby cat in his chest, kicking and scratching him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
She was so exhausted that she bit her lip and said, "Miss, you've been tired all the way. Let me help you get some rest."
Song Yanxi stirred the spoon gently in her hand, "No hurry, it's still early."
Zhuzhi looked out the window. The night sky was pitch black and he couldn't see his hand in front of him.
Her eyes were dim, "When did you learn to lie with your eyes open?"
Song Yanxi: "I just learned it."
Zhuzhi couldn't help but widen his eyes and vaguely tasted the flavor.
Could it be that the girl saw that she was feeling very anxious and deliberately gave her a chance to speak?
Suppressing her excitement, she considered it carefully before asking, "Miss, should we temporarily store this imperial edict in a box, or lock it in a large chest?"
Song Yanxi raised an eyebrow, "Why, are you still not tired of following me in the General's Mansion for the past two years?"
"Enough, enough, please don't go back!" Zhuzhi said without thinking.
Then he realized what was happening and said with a silly smile, "I told you, a rotten place like the Lin family, I'm afraid the girl would be disgusted at first sight, so how could she possibly go back to her husband?"
"Who told you this?"
Zhuzhi's eyes flickered as she said, "It's just some gossipy women out there. They have nothing better to do than to come here and disgust you. Miss, you don't have to pay any attention to them."
Song Yanxi's face darkened slightly, "Tell the truth."
If it was someone from outside, the girl would have calmed down after hearing the scolding on the spot. It is impossible for her to be brooding over it until she returned home.
Zhuzhi slowly lowered his head, "Girl..."
Zhu Yu came in from the door holding the account book and spoke for her, "Miss, you're worrying too much. It was just that the lady from the Lin family said a few unpleasant words when she came to drink tea.
The eldest lady responded to her on the spot, and she was so angry that her face turned blue. When she left the house, she didn't look at the road and fell flat on her face at the gate.
The four bamboos were carefully selected by Old Master Yan before he dared to place them beside his granddaughter to serve her. The eldest lady mentioned was naturally the eldest lady of the Yan family, Shen Qingyun.
Song Yanxi chuckled, "My aunt's temper is still as hot as ever."
Zhuzhi said hurriedly, "The eldest lady is worried about the young lady. After the Lin family's lady left, she specifically instructed the doorman that anyone who dares to come to the door and has anything to do with the Lin family will be kicked out."
Speaking of this, Zhu Yu heard an interesting story.
