Chi Yunzhi was amused by his nervous look, but still obediently returned to the room.
Summer rainstorms come with great force, but they only last for a short while.
Not long after Chi Yunzhi lay down, the rain stopped.
Her miscarriage delayed a lot of things.
Among the maids around her, Zhuyin has the hottest temper, Huarong is gentle and polite, and Lanxiang and Juye are loyal.
So she planned to let Huarong take Lanxiang to Baoyun Pavilion to tell the shopkeeper to supervise the decoration of the shop next door.
The drawings have been drawn up, and the corresponding materials for each area are also marked. All you need to do is find a suitable carpenter to do the decoration.
It would be best if the price could be lower.
As for the jewelry set for Princess Wuyang, she is still drawing it.
Huarong took Lanxiang to Baoyun Pavilion and accurately conveyed Chi Yunzhi's words.
"Alas, God is so blind that he let such a good young lady have a miscarriage." But he later realized that the son-in-law was the Marquis of Zhenyuan who had been sentenced by the imperial physician to be inhumane.
"Then the Marquis?"
"This is not something we servants should ask." Although Hua Rong has a mild temper, the warning in her tone is very appropriate.
When the shopkeeper heard this, cold sweat broke out on his back and he nodded quickly.
The craftsmen have already produced a batch of jewelry that is the same style as Princess Yangyang's and purchased it from Baoyun Pavilion at the lowest price.
The shopkeeper also showed Hua Rong the account book, and she didn't find any problems after reading it.
"Wow, this design is amazing!" The shopkeeper unfolded the design drawing from the shop next door and praised it as he looked at it.
Chi Yunzhi used the design of a modern beverage store and added a unique ancient style, which was the first of its kind in ancient times.
Hua Rong finished her work and returned to Piaoxiangyuan, where a maid just came out.
It’s from the old lady’s side.
Inside, Chi Yunzhi felt a headache looking at the account books piled on the table.
The four thugs were thrown into jail and confessed after being severely tortured.
It turned out that they were ruffians from another town. After disguising themselves, they entered four shops and became shopkeepers.
This lasted for five years, during which he stole 5,600 taels of silver from the Song family.
Because the case involved the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the government stepped up its efforts to investigate the case, repatriated them to their registered residence, and asked their families to repay the losses.
If their family members cannot provide any information or they have no family members at all, they will spend the rest of their lives in prison.
Those account books became evidence in court and were returned to the Song family after the verdict.
Those are the ones on Chi Yunzhi’s desk.
She looked through it and found that it contained real accounts, and the prices of rice and corn were correct.
In other words, the extra money has gone into the pockets of the four thugs.
"The old lady said that these four shops will be managed by the eldest young lady's wife from now on, and you will be responsible for the income and expenses of the Zhonggong."
"The revenue from your own shop is yours. The expenses of the Song Mansion are paid by the government."
These were the exact words spoken by the maid sent by the old lady just now.
The old lady's immense trust in her made Chi Yunzhi feel warm in her heart.
Hua Rong also told Chi Yunzhi about the Baoyun Pavilion and the twenty sets of the same jewelry as Princess Muyang.
"Well, he will remember to put it in the most conspicuous place." Chi Yunzhi finished looking through the account book and planned to visit the four stores in person after the confinement period.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuyin walked in with two maids.
These two maids are incomparable to ordinary people in terms of temperament and clothing.
This is not a maid from the Song Mansion.
"This is our eldest young lady." Zhu Yin said with a smile.
The maid first bowed respectfully to Chi Yunzhi, and then spoke, "I am a maidservant beside Princess Muyang. The princess heard that the eldest young lady was unwell, so she sent me to visit her."
As she spoke, the maid behind her came up, holding a box made of agarwood in her hands.
"This is a little gift from our princess. Please accept it, Madam Young Master." It was really unexpected that Princess Muyang would send someone to see her. Hua Rong stepped forward and opened the box. Inside was wild ginseng lying on red velvet cloth.
The roots are complete and numerous, and it is obvious that they are extremely precious.
This must be at least a hundred years old!
"This is really too expensive! I can't accept it!" Chi Yunzhi wanted to refuse as soon as she saw it.
"The princess said that the jewelry you designed made her shine at the poetry gathering. This can be considered as a thank you gift to you. It's the most appropriate."
"If you don't accept it, then we servants will have no choice but to kneel here forever."
As the two maids spoke, they knelt straight on the ground, looking like they would not get up no matter how much anyone tried to persuade them.
Chi Yunzhi had no choice but to accept this extremely precious wild ginseng.
Forget it. Next time they meet, she will just return the favor with something of similar value.
When Qian heard that the old lady had handed over all four shops to Chi Yunzhi and that Zhonggong had also handed them over to her, she was furious.
She went to the old lady and told her all the ups and downs of her life.
Those four shops could be said to be her hard work, and she was unwilling to just hand them over to Chi Yunzhi.
"Then you fill the gap of 5,600 taels." The old lady's words successfully calmed down Qian.
She doesn't have that much money, so naturally she can't fill this gap.
Qian returned to Qiu Shui Ju with a dejected look on her face. She was filled with rage when she saw Fang Baolin, who had a pale face and a headband on his forehead.
"Why hasn't the Fang family come to pick you up yet?" Qian glared at her fiercely.
"Aunt, I don't know either. My cousin didn't even look at me!" Fang Baolin sniffed aggrievedly.
"That's because you're incompetent! You can't even capture a man's heart!" Qian sneered. "That Chi is also incompetent. She couldn't keep the pregnancy going. It's a pity that my son lost a child at such a young age!"
Qian blamed all the faults on Chi Yunzhi.
Before Song Tingyue became infertile, Qian looked down on Chi Yunzhi. Now that the doctor diagnosed that Song Tingyue was fertile, she looked down on Chi Yunzhi even more.
Instead, she blamed Chi Yunzhi for accidentally having a miscarriage.
Hearing this, Fang Baolin's hope was rekindled, because she heard from her neighbor that there was a family in the next village where a woman had a miscarriage and could not get pregnant for several years.
She felt that Chi Yunzhi's situation should be the same.
She even had a dark thought in her mind that it would be better if Chi Yunzhi could never get pregnant.
In Songhe Courtyard, although Qian was scolded and sent away, the old lady still looked resentful.
When he was young, he felt that Qian was not suitable, but his son was obsessed with this woman.
Now that his son is gone, this woman is left to cause him trouble.
She is so old, but she still has to deal with household affairs. What an unfilial son!
As soon as Song Tingyue returned to the Song Mansion, he went to call the old lady over. After hearing what his mother had done, he went to Qiu Shuiju with a gloomy face.
