"I'm afraid that won't work!" Bai Nuo said with a smile. "I'm really sorry, the chef hasn't arrived yet today. If you want to eat, you'll have to wait until tomorrow." Bai Nuo looked at Zhang Wu with deep apology.
Zhang Wu looked at Bai Nuo knowingly and asked, "If we want to eat this, do we need to tell you in advance?"
Bai Nuo nodded with a smile, "Why don't you eat something else first today?"
Zhang Wu nodded with a smile, "I've heard that the food here is delicious, so I'll give it a try!"
By the time Bai Nuo saw Zhang Wu off, it was already afternoon. The meal was a great success, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely. In the evening, Duobao Pavilion was still brightly lit, as the town had more streetlights that night due to its full opening.
Starting that night, most people in the town began to frequent the night market.
At midnight, Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang started calculating the total accounts under the lamplight. "Today, the turnover on the second floor is two hundred taels, while the turnover on the third floor is less, only eighty taels of silver..." Jiang San Niang reported the numbers to Bai Nuo, who then calculated them. After finishing the calculations, they arrived at a total account.
Since Hu Mingmei provided most of the raw materials for the jewelry on the first floor, Jiang Sanniang did not participate in the business on the first floor. She simply shared all the costs of the second and third floors equally with Bai Nuo.
However, Qianjiang Sanniang was quite satisfied. If she had this income every day, after deducting costs, her monthly income would be considerable, much better than running a cloth shop on her own.
Bai Nuo thought so too.
"Sigh!" Jiang Sanniang held the account book in her hands, looking at the trays of money in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh, "If only we had started this business earlier!" If she had started this business earlier, she would have been rich long ago.
Bai Nuo just looked at her with a smile; if it were any earlier, she wouldn't even be here.
However, speaking of this, Bai Nuo remembered a question: what was the original owner of this body like?
How could she have died? She took such a huge advantage of me.
"Nono..." Bai Nuo couldn't figure it out for a moment. When she came to her senses, Jiang San Niang was looking at her with a puzzled expression. Bai Nuo asked, "What's wrong?"
"What are you thinking about? You don't even respond when I talk to you?" Jiang San Niang laughed, but she didn't want to dwell on the matter. She said, "I'm getting married to Lu Ying next month. Could you please have your grandmother officiate the wedding?"
"Getting married?" Jiang San Niang's announcement was so sudden that Bai Nuo was startled.
"Hmm..." Jiang San Niang blushed when she talked about getting married, her eyes filled with a touch of coquettishness, and she seemed to be immersed in happiness.
Bai Nuo looked at her, genuinely happy for Jiang San Niang. Such a good woman as Jiang San Niang deserves to be loved.
but.
Bai Nuo asked, "Will Lu Ying's family be coming here? Do you need me to help arrange a place for them to stay?"
Jiang Sanniang shook her head, "No need. After we get married, it will be the New Year in a month or so. We'll get married first and then go back to see his parents."
Bai Nuo looked at Jiang San Niang and asked somewhat uneasily, "Is this alright?"
Jiang San Niang shook her head. "No matter what they think, it's Lu Ying who's going to live with me, not anyone else." If they're easy to get along with, she'll treat them as family; if they're not, she'll just consider them another relative.
It's impossible for her to be completely open and honest with her mother-in-law.
Bai Nuo nodded. This was Jiang San Niang's business, and she was aware of it. As long as Jiang San Niang was alright, she wouldn't interfere.
***
After more than half a month, all the business at Duobaoge was back on track. As Jiang San Niang's wedding day drew closer, they hadn't made any preparations. So, Bai Nuo went down from the third floor to the second floor and took over Jiang San Niang's work, giving her time to prepare for her wedding.
"Manager Jiang, Young Master Lu, what do you think of this courtyard?" As evening approached, the sun was gradually setting in the west, and a cold wind was blowing. Everything on the ground seemed somewhat desolate.
The alley was lined with houses on both sides, and the alley itself was about the size of two horse-drawn carriages. The courtyards on both sides were of different heights and arranged in a staggered manner. At this moment, the entire alley was deserted, with only the sound of the whistling cold wind.
Suddenly, the gate of a courtyard in the middle of the alley opened, and a man walked out. After stepping out of the courtyard, the man stood to the side and asked the two people who came out behind him with a smile.
The two people behind them were Jiang San Niang and Lu Ying, who had come to see the house.
Lu Ying, dressed in a dark blue robe, looked even more stern and austere in the cold winter. The middle-aged man felt quite oppressed looking at Lu Ying, so he turned his gaze to Jiang San Niang.
Jiang San Niang wore a white cloak with a thick layer of fur at the collar. Inside, she wore a bright red jacket and skirt, which made her face look very delicate. She was also holding a hand warmer in her hands, with a glimpse of her fingertips peeking out.
Jiang San Niang looked at Lu Ying and asked, "Lu Ying, isn't this courtyard too big?" This courtyard has three courtyards and three entrances. After they got married, there would only be three people, including Qiao'er. Why would they need such a large place?
"Not at all, how is it big?" Lu Ying reached out and pinched Jiang San Niang's fingers to make sure Jiang San Niang wasn't cold before saying, "You're newly pregnant, so you definitely need someone to take care of you. With Qiao'er too, I think this courtyard is quite nice!"
