Chapter 191 Eunuch Hu's Visit
Aunt Xin looked at the things Shangguan Jin showed her one by one in surprise.
For a long time, she couldn't close her mouth.
"Madam, are these all for me?" Aunt Xin asked in surprise.
Shangguan Jin nodded.
"They're all yours, but I didn't give them to you; your cousin gave them to you."
Your cousin said that your parents left you a lot of things, including shops and estates in Jiangnan.
Since you insist on living in the capital, he will arrange some household items for you there.
Come and see, we have antique shops, cosmetics shops, jewelry shops, and silk shops.
In addition, there is a small estate in the suburbs with fifty acres of land.
Your cousin said that these are all the things he can buy right now, but he has already left people in Beijing who will help you buy a suitable shop or estate.
Look, these are house deeds, these are land deeds, and these are the deeds of various shops, as well as the indentures of the villagers.
They're all here!
Looking at the two boxes that Shangguan Jin handed over, Aunt Xin didn't know whether she should accept them or not.
"Madam...I..."
"What? Are you so happy you've gone mad?" Shangguan Jin laughed.
Aunt Xin was a little embarrassed.
"No, I don't know how to do these things, nobody taught me..."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jin also smiled.
"Isn't that simple? Dongmai has learned a lot from Butler Shen. You can ask Dongmai if you don't understand anything."
Also, if you still have any questions, you can ask Sister Yao.
Sister Yao has been learning these things from me for the past year, and she's learned a lot. You can ask her anything.
"Yunniang, you've accumulated some wealth now? Any ideas?" Shangguan Jin asked with a smile.
After smiling foolishly for a while, Aunt Xin said, "I don't have any grand ideas. I was just thinking that in the future, we can get many of the things we need in our mansion from these shops, which will save Madam a lot of money!"
Shangguan Jin, winter wheat...
"You really are a little fool! Even when the madam takes things from the estate, she always pays her in silver."
"How could I possibly take things from your shops for free!" Dongmai couldn't help but say.
Aunt Xin lowered her head in embarrassment.
Yes, Madam is kind-hearted and would never do anything like forcibly taking things from a shop. How could she say that she took things from the shop without paying?
"Then... Madam, please consider this as supporting the businesses of those shops. I'll ask the shopkeepers to give our household a discount."
"Doesn't that mean both sides are fine, just like Dongmai said!" Aunt Xin whispered.
Looking at Aunt Xin like this, Shangguan Jin suddenly realized that she was much more vibrant than when she first met her.
"Okay, we'll get them from your shops."
"Master Yunniang, you must send over some good things in the future!" Shangguan Jin said with a smile.
Aunt Xin smiled and nodded.
Then he picked up the two boxes and walked over to Dongmai.
"Winter Wheat, look, I have so many shops now!"
"Yes, I saw it. Congratulations, boss!" Dongmai said with a grin.
"Would you like to take some silver from me to the charity? I have plenty of silver now!" Aunt Xin asked with a smile.
Winter wheat...
"Why should I need to take money from you?"
"When I was earning thirty taels of silver a month before, didn't you tell me to be more frugal? You also said I should learn more from you and help others more."
Good people will be rewarded.
I've learned it. Look, I only gave you less than thirty taels of silver, and you've already received such good fortune.
My cousin not only came to find me, but also gave me so many shops.
So I think you're absolutely right, kindness brings good fortune.
"Dongmai, you can take the money from me!" Aunt Xin looked at Dongmai expectantly.
It was as if Dongmai couldn't eat or sleep if she didn't get money from her.
Dongmai took a few breaths before finally saying, "Yunniang, I was afraid you would overthink things back then."
I was just thinking of urging you to earn more money and do more work so that at least we could make ends meet. I really didn't think that much about it.
My daughter said that no matter who it is, if they are idle, something bad will happen, so back then I had to take you with me wherever I went.
The charity is not short of money right now. Miss just sent over five hundred taels of silver last time, and there's still quite a bit left!
“Winter wheat…” Aunt Xin still looked at the winter wheat with longing eyes.
Looking at Aunt Xin, who was determined to become the top dog on the winter wheat list, Shangguan Jin couldn't help but smile.
“Yunniang, you must remember that when you do good deeds, you shouldn’t expect any reward. It’s just something you can do within your power.”
I didn't do it for any particular purpose.
Alright, the standards for charitable organizations are there. You're not allowed to suddenly go to a charitable organization and spend a lot of money, understand?
Just like before, I have my own plans for the children at the charity center. Don't ruin my plans, understand?
Aunt Xin thought about it carefully before nodding.
"Yes, I'll do as you say, Madam."
Seeing that Aunt Xin had agreed, Shangguan Jin still reminded Dongmai.
"Keep an eye on her from now on, especially when the shopkeepers come to report their accounts. You'd better bring Sister Yao along."
Don't let those people fool Yunniang.
Dongmai immediately agreed.
Then she looked at Aunt Xin.
"You need to learn more in the future. You need to learn to manage accounts and affairs on your own. You can't rely on others for everything."
Aunt Xin looked at Dongmai very seriously this time, and then nodded solemnly.
"Yes, I will definitely learn if you teach me."
After saying this, Shangguan Jin showed the two of them the household accounts and the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to be sent to various families.
Previously, Aunt Xin never wanted to pay attention to these things.
But Shangguan Jin just said that she will also try to prepare various festival gifts for the Ye family in Jiangnan in the future.
Therefore, we also need to learn how to behave properly...
After the three of them discussed it for a while, Lin's mother suddenly arrived.
"Mother Lin, weren't you watching Yu'er bathe? Why are you here now?"
"Is Yu'er being naughty again?" Shangguan Jin's first reaction was that her youngest daughter was being naughty again.
"Madam, this is not the young lady's fault. The eldest young lady is watching over there. The young lady is very obedient."
It's the front yard.
"Butler Shen just said that Eunuch Hu has arrived, and he seems very anxious," Lin's mother quickly said.
Shangguan Jinteng stood up abruptly.
Grandpa Hu is here? What's he doing here at this hour? And why is he in such a hurry?
Could it be that something happened in the palace? Or has something happened to the Seventh Prince?
"Where is it? I'm coming right now."
As Shangguan Jin spoke, she got up and walked towards the front yard, but after taking two steps, she turned back.
"You two discuss those holiday gifts here, and tell me when you've come to a decision."
Also, Lin Mama, go to the backyard and call Yao'er to the front yard. Make sure Yu'er finishes her bath properly.
After saying that, she hurriedly walked towards the front yard.
Dongmai, who originally wanted to follow, quickly pulled Aunt Xin to continue organizing the gift list.
"Don't worry! My young lady is very smart! She can handle any situation."
"Come on, let's do what Miss asked us to do."
Aunt Xin nodded as well.
Yes, Madam is intelligent; she can certainly handle anything.
Even if she knew those things, what difference would it make? She still couldn't help with anything.
It would be better to do the things that Madam has assigned you well!
This will help ease the burden on the wife.
