Chapter 525 She Has Never Been a Landlord
The more Xin An looked at Liao Xiaolang, the more he liked him. He was a fat kid with strong hands and feet, and looked so strong.
Unfortunately, Liao Xiaolang didn't give her any face. Not only did he pee on her, but he also cried loudly in her arms. Xin An had no choice but to give him to the wet nurse, who changed his diapers and prepared meals for him. After all the trouble, Xin An fell asleep contentedly.
"My father wrote to me again, saying that the fundraising in Xuzhou went smoothly. Next, the family will allocate some people to follow your brother to other places to raise funds. I will rely on your brother's help again."
The Xu family has greatly improved their status through fundraising. According to her father, business has become much easier. People who always owed money for goods actually came to pay them back on their own initiative. The power of Prince Jin's Mansion is evident.
"What's the point of taking advantage of someone? My brother has some skills. If he were in Huaijiang, there would be no problem. But in Xuzhou, it's a different story. Without the help of the Xu family, it wouldn't be so smooth."
"It's good to be together. If we can't make money from fundraising, why don't we use the palace's influence to do more business? Take this opportunity to contact those who were not in touch before. Wouldn't the business be smoother than before?"
"That's what I mean."
Mrs. Liao's father also meant this. Although the Xu family is rich, they are only in Xuzhou. Taking this opportunity to go to more places to open up the situation is the benefit of donating money and effort to charity.
They helped Prince Jin's Mansion for free, and were also able to use Prince Jin's Mansion's influence to do their own business. The key point was that the businesses of the Xu family and the Xin family did not conflict with each other, and they could cooperate in selling salt, sugar and grain.
Neither of them was short of money, but their eyes lit up when they talked about doing business. Soon they started talking about their grocery store. The grocery store business was good, and there were already people in Beijing who wanted to imitate it, but they had taken the lead in occupying a favorable position, mainly because they had a stable supply of goods, very low cost and considerable profit.
"Our third store will open next month. The wine you brought back from Huaijiang is pretty good. I asked someone to set up a separate stall to sell that wine, so that each of our stores will have a main item to sell."
"The first store focuses on local rituals, the second store mainly sells tea, and the third store sells wine. My escort agency travels all over the country to escort goods, and can also bring back some local rituals. In the future, our fourth store will mainly sell these. What do you think?"
"OK."
Xin An held her hand and said, "But if I do this, I will be taking advantage of Sister Xu."
"Between us, you take mine and I take yours, how can we tell the difference?"
"Even though I'm out of confinement, I still have time to deal with these things. You should take good care of your baby and wait for your share of the money."
Mrs. Liao is full of energy. She is really fed up with not being able to go out because of her confinement. She feels isolated from the world. The current situation is so good, when else would she take this opportunity to make money?
"By the way, your brother-in-law said that the war in the northwest is progressing very smoothly. The great joy of expanding territory may not come once in a lifetime. You and I are blessed. The point is..."
Mrs. Liao smiled and approached Xin An, lowering her voice, "I heard that a large area of land was conquered, the land is fertile and the population is sparse, what do you think?"
Xin An raised his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth slowly rose. Fertile land but sparsely populated?
What a tempting statement. He grabbed Mrs. Liao's hand, his eyes full of desire, "Sister, if you buy property, take me with you."
She has never been a landlord. In Huaijiang, land is very difficult to buy, mainly because no one wants to sell it.
Not to mention the capital.
Mrs. Liao patted the back of her hand and said, "That's what I meant when I told you this. I still need your brother-in-law's help. I can't buy it without him. Go back and prepare the money and manpower, and wait for my news."
"Thank you, sister."
The two smiled at each other. Mrs. Xu, who came in, was very pleased to see the two of them being as close as sisters. Her daughter had married to the capital alone, and it was not easy for her to make such good friends. It was really cause for celebration.
Because they had to wait for Tang Mo to pick up Xin An, she was not in a hurry to leave. Mrs. Liao had a lot of things in her mind that she wanted to tell her, so the two of them sat and talked for half a day. When Liao Xiaolang woke up, Xin An looked after him for a long time.
Tang Mo followed Liao Zhi to the Liao family, and took the opportunity to see Liao Xiaolang, whom Xin An often talked about. He took him and held him in his arms, saying, "You don't know how much my wife loves this boy. She always keeps talking about him in her ear. Today, I finally got to see him."
"It's really worth mentioning."
Thinking of Xin An's joke about kidnapping Liao Xiaolang to be his son-in-law, Tang Mo suddenly felt a little disgusted with him. He felt that this boy was well-behaved, but he never smiled, had a big mouth, and was not that good-looking.
Seeing that he was quite good at holding the baby, Mrs. Liao was very curious, "Did you practice holding a pillow at home?"
He also said to Liao Zhi: "You should learn from me. You are a serious father, but you still can't hold a child properly."
Then he said to Xin An, "This kid makes a fuss when he's in his father's arms. It's obvious that he's not holding him well."
Xin An glanced at Tang Mo, and the couple knew the reason when they looked at each other. Tang Mo learned how to hold a child in his previous life.
Liao Zhi watched Tang Mo teasing his son with a stern face, but fortunately Liao Xiaolang started to make a fuss after a while, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right. This kid is hard to serve. How can Tang Mo serve him well? Isn't he the same as him? Seeing the sunset, Mrs. Liao invited them to stay and invited them to have dinner at Liao's house before leaving. "It's been a long time since we had dinner together. Tonight, we have to eat before leaving. Don't worry, the cook knows what to cook for pregnant women."
The couple could not refuse the hospitality. When they returned to the mansion, the moon was already high in the sky. After entering the mansion, they asked Zhang Guanshi to wait outside the courtyard. Tang Mo was curious, "It's so late, Zhang Guanshi hasn't gone to rest yet?"
Manager Zhang quickly stepped forward to greet him, but did not answer Tang Mo's question. "Madam just asked the Second Young Master and the Second Young Master's wife, why did they not come back so late? Madam is worried."
Xin An asked, "Manager Zhang, does father have guests?"
Manager Zhang nodded but didn't say who it was. Xin An didn't ask any further questions. What happened in the front yard could not escape her mother-in-law's eyes, so there was no need to bother asking.
At this time, Lord Tao looked haggard and sick, and he looked much older overnight. He was already exhausted and came here in this state on purpose, just to tell Tang Gang that he knew nothing about the scandal before, but now he knew it, as if he had been struck by lightning.
"The Prince of Nanguang is extremely skilled and powerful. That evil creature was blinded and did such a stupid thing. I am sorry for my son-in-law and the Marquis's house. I wish I could strangle her to death right now, and I wish I had never given birth to her."
"It's a misfortune for our family. The Tao family has worked so hard for generations to get to where we are today, but now it has been completely ruined by her."
"Now that things have come to this, I dare not ask for forgiveness from the Marquis. I only ask that the Marquis give the Tao family a chance to survive, considering that my family has served the Marquis's residence so well."
He kept a very humble attitude and was already in tears. Although this was a huge scandal, the Tao family was more seriously hurt. If the Marquis' Mansion directly divorced his wife and made its attitude clear, they would at most be laughed at for a while, and most people would sympathize with Tang Rong.
As for the Tao family, I’m afraid it has no future.
