Chapter 108 The Evil Couple
Mrs. Wang wanted to give Jiang Xinyu 50% of the glass profits, but Jiang Xinyu refused to take it. In the end, after much persuasion, she only accepted 30%.
In fact, Jiang Xinyu didn't even plan to take this 30%. The reason she kept it was to share it with Dongchang.
The wealth that a person can control is limited, and money beyond one's ability is not necessarily a blessing.
No eggs remain intact when the nest is overturned.
Whether she lives a good life or not makes little difference to whether she has a few more or fewer taels of silver.
If Xiao Yuan is fine, she will never lack money. If Xiao Yuan is gone, no matter how much money she has, she will not be able to keep him.
Money should be spent wisely. If you are reluctant to buy guns and cannons, the money will eventually become war compensation.
Instead of letting that huge amount of money gather dust in his or her warehouse, it would be better to use it where it should be used.
The reason why Dongchang has a bad reputation is not only because of its fierce and vicious style, but also because the subordinates are incompetent, take bribes and bully others by abusing their power.
If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass. The court has limited funds, and it is difficult for the foreigners to resist asking for money.
Xiao Yuan had no way of arresting the discipline inspector, because once he did, his subordinates would not be well fed and would inevitably cause trouble.
Qianli became an official only for money.
Those who were successful candidates in the imperial examinations and had studied sage books for more than ten years were corrupt and broke the law. How could we expect the low-level soldiers who didn't understand any big principles to be loyal and righteous?
But if the 30% profit from the glass is used to win over Xiao Yuan's hearts and minds, the style of those guys can be restrained a little.
Besides, a person who eats someone's food will be grateful for what he receives.
Although there are many ungrateful people, there are also many people who are grateful and repay the kindness they have received. They cast a wide net and invest more.
If you take the right step, it will give you an extra way to survive.
After Mrs. Wang said goodbye, Jiang Xinyu rolled up her sleeves again. Unfortunately, when she asked, she found out that Xiao Yuan ran away after closing the door, and it was uncertain when he would return home.
Jiang Xinyu cursed a few times angrily and then suddenly laughed again. Actually, this was a good thing.
In the past, this man was very sensitive, self-abased, bitter, and resentful, and the occasional smile he showed was always sarcastic.
It's good now. Everyone knows that she's naughty. She should be happy.
Xiao Yuan, who had cheated his wife and ran out of the door, smiled like a thief when he heard his wife begging for mercy at the door.
As the saying goes, one thing conquers another. It's time for someone to take care of this little glutton in his family.
However, his wife would definitely not treat him well tonight because of his prank today, so he had to quickly prepare something good to please her.
Xiao Yuan was thinking about it on the way back to Dongchang after getting the things, and finally decided to ask the secret agent in the palace to help him find another good chef.
The highest level of gift giving is to give the person what he wants and what he likes.
His wife has no other hobbies. She always says that she is greedy for money, but in fact she is not very interested in gold, silver and jewelry.
Besides loving to eat, I probably also love to make delicious food with him.
Haha, it’s right to call her a little glutton. She is a glutton in every sense of the word.
After returning to Dongchang, Xiao Yuan's aura immediately changed, and he directly ordered people to send all the recent files related to the Chengyi Marquis' Mansion over.
Just by flipping through it, Governor Xiao knew why the lady of the earl rushed to invite them to the banquet.
It turns out that the son-in-law and her mother's family were involved in the case and wanted to take advantage of him.
Reselling state grain by selling inferior goods as good ones is a crime that can be serious or minor.
Under normal circumstances, as long as one has good connections and provides food, the worst that can happen is that one will be fired and fined.
However, if there was a famine, and the warehouse door was opened to find that there was no food available, that would be a heinous crime, at least punishable by extermination of the entire clan.
Now there is no famine and no big deal. If I write well, I can indeed make a big thing small.
But who had ever let that stupid woman plot against his own wife? The evidence was all confirmed, so he had to give her a big gift.
Then help him to suppress it for two days.
After all, they are relatives. We should at least let the lady's daughter-in-law and her family celebrate their old lady's birthday before arresting her.
After all, after arresting the person, it’s time to search his house. It’s still uncertain whether we’ll have the chance to see each other again. I hope Mrs. Bo likes this birthday gift I’ve given her.
As for how to deal with that fool?
Xiao Yuan thought of several ideas but still couldn't satisfy himself. He even wanted to call all eight of his subordinates to hold a seminar.
But after thinking about it, Governor Xiao gave up the idea.
Doesn't he know the weight of those pieces of material? His advice may not be as vicious as his wife's.
It would be better to listen to what the lady has to suggest.
Thinking of this, Governor Xiao smiled unconsciously. He finally understood what it meant that a lover sees beauty in his lover.
People often use words like beautiful, gentle, kind, and virtuous to praise women, and he had always thought that these were the standards for a good woman.
But now, his little Taotie has nothing to do with these words, but he just likes it no matter how he sees it.
Thinking of his wife, Governor Xiao, an ambiguous smile appeared on his lips again, and he stroked the purse in his arms with tenderness in his eyes.
His wife is smarter than anyone else. She can come up with all kinds of shady tricks at any time. If some big-name thief learns her tricks, it will be a headache for the Dongchang Factory.
He is also very good at talking, and never suffers any loss when he flatters. I guess all the top officials in the court would have to admit defeat.
It is very strong and has sharp claws, and it refuses to eat even the slightest bit of loss.
When he got ferocious, he grabbed people so hard that he even tore their underwear.
When Xiao Yuan thought of his fierce and vicious wife whimpering and scratching him all over, his shameful face turned red again.
Work one day and rest two days.
The day after tomorrow my wife will get up early to attend a banquet and will definitely not let him suffer tomorrow night. If I don’t fight for the benefits today, I will miss it.
So, go home!
Xiao Yuan couldn't stay any longer when he thought about the benefits he would get tonight. He just took two steps out and turned back to take out two bottles of golden abscess medicine from the secret compartment.
Ahem, it’s better to be prepared.
After returning home, Xiao Yuan did not dare to go directly to his wife's yard, but waited until after dinner before slipping back.
After raising Taotie for these days, he has learned some lessons. It is easier to talk to ferocious beasts when they are full.
When Xiao Yuan entered the room, Jiang Xinyu was lying on the imperial concubine couch, daydreaming, twirling a finger around her hair, wondering what she was thinking about.
Sure enough, the lady seemed more docile after eating. She looked so lazy, like a kitten. Just looking at her made people want to hold her in their arms and stroke her.
Xiao Yuan was so itchy that he was not afraid of being scratched by the cat. He smiled and walked over to pick up Jiang Xinyu in his arms and stroked her fur.
He originally thought that little Taotie would quarrel with him because he did not remind his aunt, but unexpectedly, Jiang Xinyu was very obedient and nestled in his arms without moving.
Xiao Yuan was surprised and said, "What are you thinking about? You are so engrossed. Are you angry with me?"
As he spoke, Xiao Yuan grabbed Jiang Xinyu's hand and kissed her on the lips, "Tell me if you have anything that makes you unhappy, and your husband will share your worries."
Feeling Xiao Yuan's gentleness and care, Jiang Xinyu burst out laughing.
"Shouldn't I tell you something that makes you happy?
You knew my aunt was here but you didn't remind me, and you said you didn't want to make fun of me."
The lady's coquettish words made Xiao Yuan feel itchy like a feather. He apologized while taking advantage of the lady.
In order to cheer up the lady, he even talked about the case of the lady's son-in-law and her brother.
He said that the evidence was solid and all that was left was to arrest the person. He decided to arrest the person from the Marquis Chengyi's residence on the day of the birthday banquet, which could be regarded as adding a new attraction to the birthday banquet.
Seeing her husband Jiang Xinyu looking proud and taking credit, she wanted to cover her face. She remembered that she was not obsessed with villains, so why did she love this man the worse he was?
