"Ranqiu, you have to believe in yourself. I will be in Kyoto for a long time. I need to find someone I can trust to take care of the business in Jeju. To tell you the truth, Fang Miao has another identity. She can't stay in Beimoting forever. But you can't tell her this now. I chose you because I trust your ability. You don't have to refuse. I hope you won't let me down."
Jiang Sui observed her for a long time before making this decision. On the one hand, she was personally selected by Su Yanqing and was highly trustworthy. On the other hand, she also had good character and could be trusted.
Ranqiu was very tactful. Since the lady had already said so, it would be inappropriate for her to refuse in a hesitant manner.
So she knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Sui:
"Ran Qiu thanks Madam for giving me a new life. I will definitely not let Madam down."
"Work hard, and strive to be your own master and stand on your own in the future." Jiang Sui helped her up.
…
Recently, Xiao's mother has been thinking about moving to a bigger house. She feels that the family has more and more people and relatives, and it may not be big enough to accommodate relatives when they come to the house in the future.
This time, they had to make Marquis Xuanping and his wife squeeze into this small house with them, which was quite embarrassing.
Fortunately, Marquis Xuanping and his wife are both very nice people and don’t care about these things.
Buying a brand new house would mean spending a large sum of money. Xiao's mother counted the money she had and estimated that she would have to sell the original house before she could buy a new one.
Jiang Sui told her not to worry because once they returned to Kyoto, it wouldn't be so crowded.
Another thing is that there is not enough money at the moment, so there is no need to make things too tight at home. The eldest sister-in-law is planning to open a hairpin shop, and the third sister-in-law also wants to open a rouge shop.
These are expenses, and necessary expenditures.
My sister-in-law has been learning skills in the hairpin shop for so long that she can now work on her own. Her skills are enough to support a hairpin shop independently.
Do some small business and make some money. After all, the couple has three children to raise and they have to save up some assets for them.
Especially Brother Yuan, now he studies hard every day, has lofty ambitions, and dreams of becoming someone like his uncle.
As for the third sister-in-law, she has been dealing with flowers and plants since she was a child. She is self-taught in making rouge and powder. She is probably inspired by Jiang Sui and wants to have her own career.
So, in the next few days, Jiang Sui accompanied his two sisters-in-law to choose shops along the street.
…
After Xiao Hechuan came back, he packed his bags and prepared to leave for Kyoto without even resting for two days.
There is only half a month left in the two-month vacation, and I have to hurry back to Kyoto to take up my post.
Before this, Liu Huaifeng also joined their team on this trip, because Xiao Hechuan had promised him that he would take him to Kyoto, and that he would be his subordinate and do things for him in the future.
Jiang Sui knew him, and also knew that he had suffered a lot of grievances in order to avenge Ye Shu for Xiao Hechuan, but considering that he could still be saved, he would definitely be able to get on the right track under Hechuan's leadership in the future.
At the time of parting, Xiao's mother burst into tears and held her son and daughter-in-law's hands reluctantly.
"Tsurukawa, Suisui, we'll be in Kyoto soon. I don't know when we'll be back next time. You must write to me often to let me know you're safe!"
"Don't worry, mom. We'll write home twice a month. Don't think we're too long-winded when the time comes." Xiao Hechuan rarely spoke.
"How could that be? I'm so happy that I can't even express it. But boy, I'm telling you in advance, if you dare to bully Sui Sui and I find out, I will run a thousand miles to Kyoto and break your legs. Do you hear me?"
Xiao's mother loved Jiang Sui as if she were her own daughter. Although she believed that her son would not bully her, she still had to give him the necessary instructions.
"Don't worry, mother. How dare I? My father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law are all watching in Kyoto. Even if I have a hundred guts, I still wouldn't dare. Also, in two years, when my son gets promoted and has established a firm foothold in Kyoto, I will bring you and dad to Kyoto to live a good life. Didn't you say you wanted to be an old lady?"
As soon as Xiao Hechuan finished speaking, Xiao's mother blushed and glanced at her father-in-law and mother-in-law, only to see Jiang covering her mouth and laughing.
"Hey, you stupid kid, what are you talking about? Do you think I, your mother, don't want to save face?"
Xiao's mother's little expression made everyone present laugh.
Jiang joked:
"Mother-in-law, I really admire you. You have raised so many children and brought them up so well. Sui Sui told me that you are the one who supports the whole family. Women are weak, but they are strong when they become mothers. It is true. Compared with you, I am really ashamed. I can't bear any hardship. I should emulate you.
Don't worry, I will treat Hechuan as my own son. In Kyoto, our Xuanping Marquis Mansion is his second home, his confidence and support."
The more they look at this son-in-law, the more satisfied they are. He has high emotional intelligence and is flawless in everything he does, does and says. Most importantly, he is very capable and talented.
"With what you said, why should I worry? Thank you very much. I'll trouble you to take care of the two children in the future. I'm very polite."
Xiao's mother walked forward, took Jiang's hand affectionately, and blessed her.
Jiang then returned the greeting.
Without further ado, the group set off on their journey, watching the gate of Jeju city getting farther and farther away.
At this moment, Helian Heng stood on the city gate tower, watching them go away, the folding fan in his hand constantly clapping against his palm.
He thought that if Xiao Hechuan was not considered an enemy, he would be quite pleasing to the eye.
At least, he did not stop himself from contacting Fang Miao. It seemed that what he said that day had worked.
…
On the other hand, at the present moment in the Ye Mansion, Ye Shu has been living a life of being harshly treated by servants ever since Ye Congwen was imprisoned and Ruxing and Ruyue left her.
No one took care of her daily washing and defecation, and the meals delivered to her every day were very perfunctory.
The servants who came to deliver the food all held their noses in disdain.
She already had syphilis, and because she hadn't sought medical treatment, coupled with poor hygiene, the infection had begun to worsen significantly.
She felt very uncomfortable and began to regret her ridiculous indulgence. She even asked for help from the servants who brought her food, but no one paid any attention to her.
Who made her always treat her servants harshly?
Now, as her condition worsened, she started to have a high fever, and the hot weather outside made the situation even worse.
She had already begun to think about committing suicide, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. She kept holding on, hoping that her father would come out soon and save her.
But she probably won't be able to wait until then, as Ye Congwen will be released from prison in two months...
