Ping'er had lost her father and her position as the young master of the Duke's Mansion, and was already inferior to many of the children of aristocratic families in Sui'an City.

Although Sixth Uncle is very powerful, they will eventually live separately, so it is not a good idea for him to come to the General's Mansion for help whenever he encounters trouble.

Seeing that the third and fifth wives did the same thing a lot, the eldest sister-in-law naturally would not indulge herself in becoming such a person.

So, after hearing Du Jingyi's explanation, he fell silent.

Her mind told her that she should accept it, but emotionally, she was still somewhat reluctant.

Du Jingyi also understood the concerns in his sister-in-law's heart, so he spoke up.

"Sister-in-law, don't mind. At most, just think of it as a loan from me. When you have more money in the future, you can return the profit to me. But now that you need to learn skills and build a foundation, don't refuse."

After hearing this, sister-in-law Liu felt relieved.

The shops she owned were already in a half-dead state, and it was impossible for her to make a comeback with them. She might as well follow Du Jingyi's advice and sort out the unnecessary ones and sell them.

In this way, she could not only recover the funds, but also learn from the shopkeeper from the beginning. When she made a profit in the future, she could return the profit to Du Jingyi.

So, I gritted my teeth and agreed.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'm not a greedy person. I'll write you a receipt and return all the profits to you as soon as possible."

"Okay, whatever my sister-in-law says is fine."

After saying this, sister-in-law Liu got up to find pen and paper, wrote out the document neatly and handed it to Du Jingyi, and then took the list of shops from Yingtao.

His attitude was solemn and firm, and he seemed to have found the goal for the rest of his life, and his eyes became more lively.

Du Jingyi was also happy to see such a change in his sister-in-law.

The shopkeeper Song she chose was steady and down-to-earth, and kind in his dealings with others, but he was also particularly shrewd when it came to doing business.

The business practices of other businessmen always involve the possibility of cutting corners, but Shopkeeper Song is both honest and skillful in doing business, so he is someone Du Jingyi trusts.

With his help, Du Jingyi is confident that in ten years at most, his sister-in-law will have at least half a hundred people on her hands.

By then, not to mention Sui'an City, even in the entire Daxing Dynasty, there might not be many people richer than her.

With Du Jingyi's affirmation, the sister-in-law went to the shop called "Rong'an Silver House" early the next morning.

When the clerk saw the sign of the General's Mansion hanging on the carriage, he quickly realized that someone from the master's family had come, so he invited his sister-in-law Liu into the shop and respectfully invited her to the backyard.

"Shopkeeper Song, someone from the master's family is here."

Hearing the waiter's shout, the shopkeeper Song, who had only been heard of but never seen, lifted the curtain from the inner room and came out.

He was wearing a dark blue cotton brocade robe, and he looked dignified and had a handsome face.

When he saw that the person coming was not Du Jingyi, he knew it clearly in his eyes, and he walked forward and bowed politely.

"Song Xian has met the eldest young lady."

"Do you recognize me?"

Sister-in-law Liu was a little curious. They had never met, so how could he say that? Song Xian's face was calm, and he just replied politely.

"The head of the family told me a few days ago that from now on, the eldest young lady will be in charge of the shop and the people, so I knew it when you came here today."

"No wonder my sister-in-law said that Manager Song is capable. He really has a keen eye."

After hearing this, Song Xian did not shirk or be modest. It can be seen that he still recognized his own abilities. Then he made a gesture of invitation to his sister-in-law.

"It's cold outside, please sit inside, Madam."

Sister-in-law Liu smiled and went into the house with her entourage.

The furnishings in the inner room were simple but clean and tidy. There were some style drawings on the eight-immortals table, and it was obvious that Song Xian was selecting them.

"This is the style of silverware that the silver shop will promote next. I am looking through it now. Madam, please have a look."

As for the situation of Rong'an Silver House, sister-in-law Liu only knew the name and the fake account book, so she didn't know much about it.

She didn't intend to act as an outsider leading the insiders right away, so she said with a faint smile.

"I know nothing about this matter. Shopkeeper Song should make the decision himself."

Seeing this, Song Xian did not insist. He just went forward and tidied up some things and put them aside, then served tea to his sister-in-law Liu.

The tea is not expensive, but it smells good.

Sister-in-law Liu took a sip and said with a smile on her face.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"It's refreshing."

Song Xian always likes to drink strong tea, and apparently the taste of this tea is too strong for his sister-in-law.

For this reason, he didn't say much, turned around and went to the back. After a while, he brought out a small box, which contained the account books of the shop he had managed in the past few years.

In the inner room, Mother Ou stayed with her sister-in-law Liu and did not leave.

Although the Daxing Dynasty allowed widows to remarry and the custom was not so strict, my sister-in-law Liu was once the wife of a young master of the Duke's Mansion and had an imperial decree, so she had to be more careful not to give others a chance to talk about her.

Seeing that the mother gull did not leave, Song Xian understood what was going on.

So, he took two steps back with a respectful attitude and proper behavior, keeping a certain distance.

When Mother Ou saw this, she thought that this person was very sensible, so she was not as serious as before.

My sister-in-law had read the "fake account book" he wrote dozens of times in recent days, so she was very familiar with his handwriting and it was not difficult for her to read it.

The handwriting was clear, the numbers were neat, and there was not a single mistake. The more the sister-in-law read on, the more she admired it.

After a while, he closed the account book and said to the shopkeeper Song.

"I have seen your ability. The account is really well done. If I hadn't known there was a problem, I would have been unable to find any flaws even if I had torn the account book apart. So I am very happy to have the help of Shopkeeper Song. I hope you can take care of it in the future."

"Don't worry, Madam Young Master. Since Rong'an Silver House has changed its owner, Song Xian is naturally your subordinate. Although he may not have any other skills, he still knows a little bit about business."

After hearing his words, sister-in-law Liu no longer had anything to worry about.

In fact, she also understood in her heart that the reason why Song Xian obeyed her at this moment was more because of the instructions given by his sister-in-law Du Jingyi.

So she was determined to make this man her confidant.

So he smiled politely and said.

"That's good."

After a brief chat at Rong'an Silver Shop, sister-in-law Liu told the purpose of her outing today.
