Princess Jiahe was silent for a while, staring at Xu Miaomiao for a long time, and then she angrily pulled her hand back from Xu Miaomiao's hand, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said: "You don't need to care about my affairs, and the relationship between me and Zhijin is not something you can interfere with. Don't meddle in other people's business in the future. Not to mention that she doesn't want me to get pregnant, even if she wants my life, I am willing. Madam Xu, there is no need to do this."
Princess Jiahe said. Song Zhijin also came out from the back room. Seeing the two standing here, she was a little puzzled. She immediately came forward and took Xu Miaomiao and said, "Madam Xu, I have given all my opinions to Xuguo. Your wine is mellow and strong. It is really a rare good wine. Although I drink a lot, I don't have any comments on your wine. Madam Xu, your department store will surely be prosperous if you have this kind of good wine."
After hearing what Song Zhijin said, Xu Miaomiao smiled awkwardly and nodded at her.
"Okay, Zhijin, it's getting late, let's leave early."
Princess Jiahe's face was no longer as joyful as when she came. Instead, her tone was filled with an eerie silence. Song Zhijin did not hear anything and thought that she was just feeling a little unwell, so she left with Princess Jiahe.
Watching the two people leaving, Xu Miaomiao stared at them for a long time. The affairs between these wealthy families were indeed not something she could interfere with. Not to mention why Song Zhijin liked Nangong Jin but was reluctant to confess her feelings, Song Zhijin's background alone was enough to match Nangong Jin, but she just didn't want others to talk about her liking for Nangong Jin. Moreover, Princess Jiahe was also very difficult to understand. That person had drugged her, but she was willing to accept it. Xu Miaomiao really couldn't understand it. Unfortunately, she didn't have the time to care about other people's affairs. The most important thing was to run her own shop first.
As he spoke, Xu Miaomiao took out the silver note worth one thousand taels from his sleeve, looked at it with satisfaction, and handed it to Xuguo.
When Xuguo received the silver note of 1,000 taels, he was a little surprised. He looked at it carefully for a few minutes before saying, "I have never seen so many silver notes. Although the income of the department store is also a lot, it is all small change piled up and then taken to the business to exchange. But this is the first time I have seen a silver note as big as 1,000 taels."
Xu Miaomiao looked at him and smiled, "We are doing business, and we will often greet each other with silver in the future. You should also see more of them so that you can broaden your horizons and not make people laugh at you. This thousand taels will be useful to you."
Xu Guo took the 1,000 taels and spoke incoherently. She looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Sister Xu, this won't work. If I take such a large sum of money, something will definitely go wrong. It's better to give it to you for safekeeping."
Seeing him shirking his responsibility, Xu Miaomiao shook her head and said, "You must take this money. I need you to do me a favor."
Seeing Xu Miaomiao's sincere eyes, Xu Guo took the money hesitantly, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Sister Xu, if you need my help, I will do my best."
Seeing Xuguo's serious look, Xu Miaomiao smiled and said, "Hasn't the price of salt increased recently?"
As soon as Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, Xu Guo immediately interrupted and said, "Sister Xu wants me to use the money to buy salt."
After thinking for a while, Xu Guo shook his head again, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Although the price of salt has increased, the salt we bought with these one thousand taels is enough for us to eat for ten lifetimes. Even if we need salt, we don't need to buy so much."
Xu Miaomiao flicked Xu Guo's head, looked at him and continued, "The price of salt has gone up, so naturally there will be crooked people selling private salt. You can take this 1,000 taels of silver note and go around the salt shops. Those people will definitely look down on you at first, but when you take out the silver note, no one will dare to come forward to curry favor with you. You can go and see if their salt prices are lower than one another, and find the lowest one. If the salt price is lower than the salt price set by the government, you can immediately sue those people to the government for selling private salt, saying that they are selling private salt. Do you understand clearly?"
Xu Miaomiao explained to Xu Guo word by word. Xu Guo was a little surprised to hear this. She shook her head at Xu Miaomiao in confusion: "Sister Xu, is this not a good thing? We are doing business. Those who sell private salt are just trying to make a living. If we don't compete with them, we won't cause any trouble. But if we force ourselves to stand out and disrupt their business, what will we do if they embarrass us later?"
Xu Miaomiao was not panicked. She looked at Xu Guo, calculating in front of her, and said, "Selling salt illegally in the South is a serious crime. By the time they are found out, it is not certain whether they will be able to escape alive. How can they trip us up? Besides, I have made arrangements for you to do this. Whether we can successfully drive those two people out depends on this time."
Seeing Xu Miaomiao's serious look, Xu Guo immediately put away the silver bills and went to the salt market.
When Xu Miaomiao just returned to the mansion, she saw Gu Yuanniang holding Ling'er walking in the courtyard. Seeing Xu Miaomiao, Ling'er stumbled over. Xu Miaomiao held him in her arms and pinched Ling'er's chubby little face: "Did little Ling'er eat well today?"
Ling'er lay in Xu Miaomiao's arms, hugging her neck.
Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang gently patted Ling'er's back, looked at Xu Miaomiao, and began to say, "You ate more today than usual. I think your nourishing elixirs took effect. Your complexion has become much rosier now. It's a good thing that you can remember some of the things you saw offline."
After hearing this, Xu Miaomiao slowly nodded. This was finally a good thing for her.
As if remembering something, Gu Yuannian immediately took Xu Miaomiao's hand and said, "By the way, let me tell you something. The guy who was lazy and gluttonous in your house ran away early this morning and hasn't come back yet. He's sneaking around. I don't know what he's doing. You'd better be careful."
Xu Miaomiao patted Gu Yuanniang's hand in comfort after hearing this, and said to her, "The net has been set long ago, and now he has taken the bait. Just wait, in less than two days, there will be no one like him in the Song Mansion anymore."
Gu Yuannian listened to her words, shook his head slightly, and took Ling'er back from Xu Miaomiao's arms.
