Jiang Shan was shocked after reading the account book that Fu Wen had sent!
"Is this really the income for the first half of the year?" she asked, pointing to several sets of figures at the back of one of the books.
Fu Wen considered Jiang Shan's choice of words and said, "These are the city-state logistics ledgers, the two below are the Jiang family's private kitchen ledgers, and the dark blue one is the Hongxiufang ledger. They are all accounted for according to your method, with detailed expenditures and expenditures. This is the general ledger."
Jiang Shan flipped through each book and looked at them, finally exclaiming in disbelief, "My God, I'm so rich now!"
Fu Wen's lips curled slightly. "There are too many of those food, fruit wine, and beverage shops that you've invested in. The accounting books won't be all delivered until the end of the year. I estimate that in half a year, you should have at least tens of thousands in revenue!"
Jiang Shan was astonished; the speed at which they were making money was simply too fast!
Fu Wen couldn't help but grin. "The momentum will be even stronger in the second half of the year, with sales of soy sauce and chicken essence being even more impressive. What you mean is, young master, you need to be fully prepared. Those merchants in the capital are not easy to deal with!"
Jiang Shan tilted his head and chuckled smugly, saying, "I'm a businessman, my goal is to make money, no problem!"
Fu Wen was somewhat worried. The capital was a dangerous place, full of corrupt officials and merchants. One wrong move and you could be ruined! But the young master would definitely not let the young lady suffer!
Jiang Shan had no idea that her future father-in-law, whose relationship was still far from official, was already scheming to make a fortune for her in secret!
After reviewing the bill, Jiang Shan canceled a business meeting that evening and went to find Fu Qiyuan.
He will be returning to the capital to take up his post in a few days, and the emperor's will cannot be disobeyed!
They cherished the few days they could spend alone together, even making Jiang Huai a third wheel. But as the days went by, the day of parting was fast approaching.
Fu Qiyuan is drawing picture books for Jiang Huai. Whenever he has free time these days, he draws the stories Jiang Shan tells into picture books. He has already drawn several books.
“Daddy, there’s also the dog!” Jiang Huai and Fu Qiyuan bumped heads together, one sitting in a chair and the other lying on the table.
Jiang Shan stood at the door for a while, but Fu Qiyuan still noticed her.
"You stayed up late again last night, didn't you? You should rest for a while. Two or three books should be enough. He can't possibly read them all."
"Yes! Huai'er wants to draw a lot!" Jiang Huai said seriously.
Jiang Shan retorted, "How many words do you know? How many books can you read? If you want to hear a story, your mother can tell you 365 different ones with her eyes closed! Don't tire your father out, you brat!"
Jiang Huai pouted slightly and looked blankly at Fu Qiyuan.
Fu Qiyuan patted his son's head and said softly, "Daddy isn't tired, let's keep drawing!"
Jiang Shan pulled up a chair and sat down next to him, resting his chin on his hand as he watched the father and son interact.
She wondered if it was just her imagination, but Jiang Huai seemed to look more and more like Fu Qiyuan as he grew up!
Is it true that children resemble whoever raised them?
That being said, she and Fu Qiyuan are related by marriage, so it's somewhat understandable that her son looks like Fu Qiyuan, but is it really okay for people within three generations to get married?
The ancients liked to strengthen family ties through marriage, but what if the children born to them were affected by their blood relationship?
What are you thinking about?
"I'm thinking, what if the child we have isn't healthy?"
Fu Qiyuan was speechless at Jiang Shan's words. He glanced at his clever and lively son and said, half helplessly and half jokingly, "I can guarantee that our bodies and bloodlines are perfectly healthy! Let's not rush to have a second baby. Let's take good care of our first one first, okay?"
Jiang Shan felt that Fu Qiyuan had taken advantage of him, but he couldn't get it back, so he quickly turned his head away and pretended to look at the painting.
I simply can't calm my mind.
After a while, Jiang Shan asked again, "Have you explained everything that happened in the yamen?"
Fu Qiyuan nodded, "Lord Leng and my father are old friends. He won't wrong himself. He will definitely write to ask if there are any problems."
Jiang Shan lowered his eyes and said, "I don't understand the affairs of officialdom, but your father and my maternal grandfather are both in the court, so you shouldn't suffer any losses. You don't need to worry too much about the grudges between your mother and my mother; my mother has her own decisions. You don't have many connections in the capital and don't like to rely on others, so there are always things you can't do. I had Fu Wen deposit some money in a bank, so that when needed..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Qiyuan gently pulled her into his arms.
Jiang Huai was taken aback at first, then laughed and excitedly got up and snuggled into Jiang Shan's arms.
"Father, Mother, Huai'er wants a hug too!"
Fu Qiyuan held one child in each arm, sighed contentedly, and said, "Just thinking about you two makes everything around me feel wonderful, and I have nothing to be dissatisfied with! I told you I would earn you a dowry, and I wasn't kidding. Don't you believe me?"
Jiang Shan said in a gruff voice, "These are two different things, okay? I also have feelings I want to express to you, and you can't refuse!"
Fu Qiyuan chuckled, "You're a wealthy man now, and although I can't compare to you, as a man, this is my duty and obligation. For me, it's the greatest motivation! Shan'er, believe me, I won't let you down!"
Stubborn to the end for saving face + damn pride!
Jiang Shan muttered to himself, but did not insist any further.
"Have you set a date yet? Let's have a meal together in the next couple of days, then you don't need to see us off when we leave!"
Parting is always sad. In ancient times, there were no airplanes, trains, or communication. Parting was a true parting. So let's not dwell on the past and feel sad!
Fu Qiyuan nodded, glanced at Jiang Huai in his arms, and said, "I'll leave quietly. You and Huai'er don't need to see me off. I'll wait for you in the capital."
Jiang Huai glanced at Fu Qiyuan, seemingly casually, but said nothing.
But no one expected that Jiang Huai would sleep with Fu Qiyuan every night from then on.
No matter how Jiang Shan threatened or tempted him, Jiang Huai was determined to sleep with his father.
The country is on the verge of collapse!
With the day of Fu Qiyuan's departure fast approaching, Jiang Huai stayed by his side almost every step of the way.
Jiang Shan was secretly anxious. The day before Fu Qiyuan left, she made a foolish move.
When it was time to sleep at night, Jiang Shan kept bothering Jiang Huai. After a while, she couldn't take it anymore and fell asleep on her own.
As usual, Jiang Huai climbed onto Fu Qiyuan's bed and slept with his arms around his father's neck.
After Jiang Huai fell asleep, Fu Qiyuan carried his son to Jiang Shan's room, staying by the side of his beloved woman and child, watching their sleeping faces until dawn before setting off.
Just past dawn, the sky was already bright.
Jiang Huai suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. His bright black eyes darted left and right, and then he burst into tears.
Before Jiang Shan could react, he had already climbed off the bed and rushed out barefoot.
Liangchen had just entered through the side gate and was too busy to follow behind.
