Chapter 456: The Marquis is obsessed with money
Tang Gang did not respond to Xin An's request immediately. Wang sat aside and drank tea leisurely, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Xin An didn't rush him. He found a seat and sat down without being asked, giving him time to think.
After a long while, Tang Gang finally spoke, "Is this your father's idea or yours?"
"mine."
Xin An said: "I just thought of it last night. We came up with this idea. It was my father who started it. The follow-up will have nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion. I feel a little bit at a loss when I think about it."
"I don't have much knowledge. When I look at things, I first consider the benefits. This is not very elegant. If you think this is inappropriate, please tell me the reason."
Is this a question of being elegant or not? This is about seeing an opportunity and wanting to pounce and take a bite.
Tang Gang didn't think she was materialistic and scheming, but rather thought she was smart. In the past few days, he had been thinking about how to benefit from the upcoming fundraising, but he had no good idea. Xin Huan was indeed a good candidate, and there was reason to put him in.
But the Xin family was not loyal to him.
He looked up at Xin An, and thought that since Xin An was in the Xin family of the Marquis' Mansion, it was impossible for him to betray the Marquis' Mansion. "Let's discuss this later."
"Father, this matter cannot wait. The emperor may decide on the candidate tomorrow morning. This matter has been delayed for quite some time."
Xin An asked directly, "Father, are you worried that my brother is unreliable?"
Wang raised her eyes, "I think Xin Huan of the Xin family is quite good. He knows how to act and how to retreat, and he is smart. He has been doing business since he was a child, and he knows the business world very well. If the Marquis can promote him, I think he will return the favor. Prince Jin is very powerful, and many families in the capital have tried their best to get close to him, but they have not been able to do so. If Xin Huan can succeed, it will also be an opportunity for the Marquis."
"Your Majesty, just agree to it. The second son has been taken care of by his father-in-law for more than a year. He has a low official position and cannot repay him. As a father, you should always think about the second son."
"The second son's wife is right. In the eyes of outsiders, the Xin family and the Marquis' Mansion are inseparable."
Tang Gang lost his temper as soon as Wang Shi opened her mouth. He was getting more and more afraid of Wang Shi, especially because she was afraid of her getting angry. Once she got angry, she would madly attack him with words that hurt his heart. In the end, it was all his fault. She had brought those concubines to serve him a few days ago. Did he think he didn't see it? He was already in a bad mood, and he was exhausted by the quarrels of those concubines.
"I'll see to it."
Xin An smiled and stood up. "Thank you, father. You have worked hard. I will take my leave."
Tang Gang glanced at Wang, who stood up leisurely, "I'm going to go see my mother, would you like to come with me, Lord?"
After accepting the old lady's benefits, I naturally have to show off to her. She is a very particular person.
Tang Gang also stood up, "Together."
"The Second Young Master's wife is going out?"
Manager Zhang led his men to carry several boxes back to the mansion. Xin An hummed and asked curiously, "What did you buy?"
"The house of Zhang and She was searched today. The items inside look valuable and seem to have been taken out of the house. Bring them back for inspection."
Manager Zhang asked these people to make way for Xin An, and then said to Xin An: "Thanks to the Second Young Master's Madam's keen observation, otherwise the loss of the Marquis' Mansion would be even greater."
"I dare not take credit for this matter. It was my father's wisdom and decisiveness that saved the mansion from losses by dealing with the two people in time. Otherwise, my father is the backbone of the mansion."
The person who removed Tang Rong's confidants was Tang Gang, and it had nothing to do with her.
Several servants carrying boxes listened to Xin An's words silently and felt that this was the truth. Manager Zhang's face was stiff for a moment, but then it returned to normal. Xin An did not embarrass him and said, "I brought some wine back from Huaijiang. I will unload the goods at the dock today. I will leave a jar for Manager Zhang. Thank you for your hard work in the past two days."
"Thank you, Madam Second Young Master."
Steward Zhang sent Xin An onto the carriage and only let out a sigh as he watched the carriage drive away. The Marquis had been schemed against by the Second Young Master's wife, and the Marquis hadn't noticed a thing. The situation in the Marquis's Mansion was probably about to change.
The prince now has few people to use in the Marquis's mansion. On the contrary, the mansion is full of the Madam and the Second Young Master's wife's people. Hey~~~ "Manager Zhang, do we still need to carry these boxes to the Marquis's yard?"
There was a servant who was tactless. Manager Zhang glared at him fiercely. The man nodded hurriedly and said, "I know I was wrong. I will carry it to the Marquis's yard right away."
Maybe his master has lost himself in money? Logically, the matter should be handed over to the lady for disposal.
The servant was puzzled, but dared not speak.
At Xin's house, Wang Jin brought people to move wine to the yard. Fang Da also sent people to help. When they saw people coming, they came forward and said that the goods were piled in an uninhabited small courtyard in the backyard.
"Does the young lady have any plans for other things besides the wine? If not, should we put them in Wanyuan Bank?"
Xin An had an idea. Wanyuanhang's second shop gave her inspiration. She thought about finding a bigger courtyard house to open a grocery store. She would redecorate the courtyard house and fit shops on all four sides except the main entrance. She would arrange the items according to categories, and tea, wine and local rituals would have their own dedicated shops.
"Ordinary people go to West Street to buy rice and East Street to buy oil. They have to go to several streets to buy something. If there is a place where they can buy everything they need at once, wouldn't it be better?"

Fang Da smiled and said that he and the Liao family's manager thought the same thing. "The shops are all along the street and are only a small size. The courtyard shops are really good. The business of our second Wanyuan Store has surpassed the one on Yinghui Street. It is precisely because of this that we have not yet settled on our third shop."
"No suitable place?"
Fang Da shook his head and said that such a shop was really hard to find. "The owner of the rented house does not allow changes, so we have to buy it. I have seen a suitable one, but I haven't had time to discuss it with the young lady yet."
Xin An thought for a moment, "I bought the first of the two Wanyuanhang shops, and Sister Xu bought the second. So the third one should be bought by me as well. You can discuss it with the manager of the Liao family. If both of you think it's a good idea, I'll buy it."
"The fourth one also needs to look good. The decoration takes too long, which delays making money."
Fang Da nodded in agreement and talked about the Huaijiang local wine he brought back. Xin An said, "It's all yours. Leave 30% of the wine to me. If it sells well, continue to place orders. If possible, I can get a separate shop."
There is no place to sell it, so I can only send it to grocery stores.
"Sell sparingly, don't sell them all out in one go."
"I'll send 20% of my 30% to the herbal medicine shop, and the second young master will take full charge of it. As for the remaining 10%, I have a list here, please help me deliver it."
Fang Da took the list and was about to go to work when Xin An asked Fang Xiaoxiao, "How was your visit to Prince Jin's Mansion?"
"Very good. She said she would go for three consecutive days. I think she is very serious about it."
Fangda asked, "Do you want that girl to come and tell the young lady?"
"No, tell her to follow Uncle Qin's instructions. Keep your mouth shut, and put safety first before interests."
She was not that curious. Knowing too much was not a good thing. It would also bring trouble to Fang Xiaoxiao. It was so difficult for a girl to study medicine. It was rare to have such a good opportunity. "I decided to recognize Xiaoxiao as my sister."
