Chapter 730732. Old Matter Revisited
Looking at the houses being built everywhere, one can even imagine that this will become a bustling new city in the future.
Jin Qianqian only paid a small amount of money to buy the land, and the money to build the house was probably not that expensive, but she got such a large piece of property in return. How could people not be jealous?
These days, several of the better-off families have been talking about it privately, saying that Jin Qianqian is a far-sighted person, and that she can make a lot of money with just a little effort. No wonder she can build such a big business and donate such a large sum of money so easily.
“I came to take a look when I bought the land before, and you were just laying the foundation. I didn’t expect you to move so fast, and it’s almost finished.
I bought the land in a remote area and late, so I haven't found a craftsman yet." Mrs. Wu stared at the craftsmen busy inside, "I see these craftsmen are very skillful, I wonder if they have found the next one?"
Jin Qianqian, "I really don't know. If Madam Wu is interested, she can ask their foreman."
Jin Qianqian felt that Mrs. Wu's question was unnecessary. Almost all the craftsmen in the entire city were gathered here. At the speed they were building houses, these craftsmen had already been watched by many people.
Even if the two families are related, Jin Qianqian would not take the blame on herself and offend others for no reason.
Mrs. Wu knew that her plan had failed again. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "I'll ask someone to ask later. With such a good craftsman, I won't lose anything even if I wait a little longer."
Jin Qianqian smiled and waved away the dust in the air. "That's right. This is really not the place to talk. I have things to do in my house. Let's make an appointment another day."
Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "I didn't thank Mrs. Gu for her good suggestion last time. Next time, I will host you and treat you to our specialties."
Jin Qianqian: "..." I suspect you did it on purpose...
Her face froze for a moment, but soon she smiled and said, "It's just a piece of cake, Madam Wu, don't worry about it.
If you remember my kindness, I would be very grateful if you could come and support me when my restaurant opens."
Jin Qianqian pointed at the restaurant that was almost completed and said, "Please remember to come and join us for the fun when the time comes."
"Of course. I've heard that Tianfu Restaurant has many delicious dishes. Now, thanks to Madam Gu, I can finally get what I want."
Jin Qianqian, "Then I won't bother Madam Wu here. I'll take my leave first. Please do as you please."
Jin Qianqian nodded at her, and the maid beside her quickly lowered the curtain, and the carriage slowly drove away from East City.
When Wu Houshi saw the carriage leave, she sighed and said, "I thought they were relatives, but I didn't expect them to be so unkind."
The girl beside him didn't dare to say anything and just stood there quietly.
"It's really annoying. I'm not in the mood to look at the land today. Let's go to Hou's house."
…
Jin Qianqian had just entered the mansion when Madam Liang's invitation arrived.
He glanced at the content and put the post on the desk with a sneer.
Noticing that their master was in a bad mood, none of them dared to say anything.
After all, they had just arrived at their master's side not long ago, and they did not dare to enlighten their master indirectly like Sister Lichun and the others did.
Jin Qianqian stood up with some annoyance and walked towards the back garden. She walked around the garden a few times until her legs became weak, so she returned to the study.
"Go and call Lichun over." Lichun is now the manager of the inner courtyard, and everything in the backyard is handled by her.
Mingyuan felt relieved, bent his knees to salute, and quickly ran to find someone.
Seeing her in such a mood, Jin Qianqian calmed down a little and scolded with a smile, "Are you little girls scared? I am not a man-eating tiger, you don't have to be so afraid."
She has always been a person who never blames people for their mistakes. Even if she is really angry, she will not take it out on the people under her.
The beginning of spring came quickly, and she, who had already tied her hair into a bun, looked more calm than ever.
"Madam." Lichun greeted.
Jin Qianqian pointed at the note on the desk and said, "Go to the storehouse and pick out a gift and send it to Liang Mansion.
I said that the eldest son had a bad temper and was afraid that he would lead the good son astray, so I didn’t want to go to his mansion and hinder the good son’s progress.”
I thought that since this happened so long ago, Madam Liang should have let it go.
She has already made fun of her own son, but I didn't expect her to point it out this time. Did she really think I wouldn't refuse directly?
If she really hired a famous teacher and Lolo followed him to share in the glory, she would be very grateful.
She has always been a focus of attention on the news about the Liang Mansion. She only invited a scholar to teach Liang Fei.
It’s not that Jin Qianqian doesn’t appreciate the scholar’s knowledge, but Liang Feiling is spoiled by Liang He and often plays tricks on the gentleman.
In order to please Governor Liang and his wife, that gentleman kept many things secret, and reporting them to his superiors was also a good thing.
Given the current situation in their house, Jin Qianqian would be stupid to let her own child get involved.
"I'm afraid Madam Liang won't believe this," Lichun was also very annoyed when he saw the content of the letter. Madam had already politely rejected it before, but this man could still write such a post.
“What can I do if you don’t believe me? I think Madam Liang is a little bit overwhelmed now.
Although she was not the one who poisoned me before and we suffered, she gained the greatest benefit from it.
Now she is the only one in power in the entire Liang Mansion, and she has begun to attack the officials and their wives under us."
At the previous banquets, Jin Qianqian had vaguely felt that several ladies had been tormented by Madam Liang, but she didn't expect that this time, she would reach out to this side.
They say they'll send the kids over to study together, but that's just a way to control them.
It was just unknown whether this was Governor Liang's idea or her personal idea. Jin Qianqian was not prepared to accept it.
Although Governor Liang is one rank higher than Gu Wenheng, he really can't do anything to them. At most, he can make things difficult for them in future official matters.
She waited until Lichun went down to do some work before she picked up her pen to write a letter home to Gu Wenheng.
Ever since Gu Wenheng left home, every time he arrived at a place, there would be a letter delivered to him, and she would frequently reply.

Liangfu Backyard
Liang He was sitting in the garden with her niece He Xiaoyu, basking in the sun and drinking tea.
"Aunt, Aunt Luo has been sent back to the manor by my uncle. From now on, there will be nothing in the backyard that can embarrass you."
Seeing that her aunt was in a good mood, He Xiaoyu said things in a flattering way that she liked to hear.
"So what if they are not sent to the manor? They have committed such a big mistake. I think they should all be sold off.
Your uncle is always thinking about his previous wife, and is especially caring towards those who served him before.
This time, I had been waiting to catch them for a long time.
Fortunately, they did not disappoint me and I caught them all.
Don't say that your aunt is cruel and ruthless. If I hadn't hardened my heart, your cousin and I would have no place to stand in this backyard."
