Chapter 1032, Greedy
Fangji Silk Shop.
Because Fang Liangji arrived in Xiliang relatively late, when he came to Bamu Town, all the shops in good locations had already been snatched up.
The shop that Fang Liangji rented now is only a little over a hundred square meters. He got this shop only by mentioning the name of Weiyuan Palace.
In the backyard of the shop, after Sun Jiayue came back, she felt a little uneasy and kept thinking about who the lady she had just met was.
It’s not her fault that she couldn’t remember. It was because Sun Jiayue had only met Daohua two or three times, and that was when Fang Liangji and Li Zixuan were engaged, which was more than ten years ago.
Sun Jiayue couldn't remember it, and she was too lazy to think about it. She called the maid and asked, "What is the master doing now?"
Maid: "The boss is meeting with the bosses of the Fang and Xu families in front."
Sun Jiayue curled her lips and said, "They must be here to ask my husband to help them rent a shop again."
The maid laughed and said, "It's so hard to rent a shop in Bamu Town. If the master hadn't found some connections, our family might have ended up like those itinerant merchants, transporting goods everywhere to sell."
Hearing this, Sun Jiayue's face looked a little bad.
Her husband was able to quickly find connections in Xiliang because of Li Zixuan. Thinking of Li Zixuan, who was the mistress of the Fang family, she felt very unwilling.
She is no worse than Li Zixuan in every way, but she has to be inferior to her and is even a head shorter than her.
All this is because Li Zixuan has a good aunt!
Even if Sun Jiayue was unwilling, she could only endure it now. She knew that unless the Yan family fell, she would never be able to surpass Li Zixuan in her life.
Soon, a smile appeared on Sun Jiayue's face again.
So what if she is the legitimate wife? Although my husband respects Li Zixuan, he dotes on me more and it is me who takes him around to travel around.
The relationship between my husband and Li Zixuan is more of a union of interests than of affection.
She is different. She and her husband grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Her husband obviously cares about her more in his heart. Otherwise, when she calls herself Mrs. Fang, her husband would not have stopped her.
Thinking of this, Sun Jiayue's mood instantly improved. She asked the maid to prepare some cakes and stood up to send them to Fang Liangji in front.
In the shop in front, two middle-aged men in their forties dressed in brocade clothes were complimenting Fang Liangji, who was a generation younger than them.
In Zhongzhou, the Fang and Xu families are considered to be good friends with the Fang family. However, as elders, they have to please the younger ones, which makes the two middle-aged men feel a little uncomfortable.
But what can we do about it?
In Xiliang, they have no connection at all, but the Fang family has the support of the Weiyuan Palace!
"My dear nephew, we used some money to bribe a government official, and he told us that it seems that a new batch of shops are about to be rented out."
"There are so many people doing business in Bamu Town nowadays that we can't even get a spot. Can you help us get a shop?"
Fang Liangji looked embarrassed: "Uncles, you know how difficult it is to rent a shop here. I can't guarantee it."
Mr. Fang immediately laughed and said, "My dear nephew, you are too modest. Others may not know, but don't we know that you and the Weiyuan Palace are real relatives. If you ask for it, how dare the government officials refuse to do it?"
The master of the Du family took over the conversation: "Don't worry, as long as you help us, we will not treat you unfairly." As he said that, he pulled out a few silver bills from his sleeves.
Fang Liangji glanced at the banknote casually and saw that it was worth one thousand taels. A look of satisfaction flashed across his eyes, but he pretended to be dissatisfied and said:
"Uncles, what are you doing? Given our relationship, how can I not help you when you're in trouble? Take this banknote back quickly."
Hearing this, Mr. Fang and Mr. Du both breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Fang laughed and said, "You are helping us, so you must have arranged everything. Do you think this will cost you anything?"
Master Du: "Yes, nephew, just accept it. We'll trouble you to take care of our affairs."
After talking for a while, Mr. Fang and Mr. Du got up and left, and Fang Liangji personally escorted them out of the store.
At this time, Sun Jiayue walked out from behind the shop, stood at the door, and saw off Master Fang and Master Du with Fang Liangji.
"I remember who she is!"
In the carriage opposite the shop, Daohua looked at Sun Jiayue with a grim expression as she walked back to the shop with Fang Liangji's arm around her.
Xiao Yeyang: "Who is it?"
Daohua: "I don't remember her name, but when cousin Zixuan and Fang Liangji got engaged, I saw this person. She was the younger sister of Fang Liangji's best friend, and her surname seemed to be Sun."
Seeing Daohua's tightly furrowed brows, Xiao Yeyang reached out to smooth them down for her: "What do you want to do?"
Daohua was silent for a moment. "This is cousin Zixuan's family affair. It's not easy for me to interfere, but I can't just turn a blind eye to it either. The most hateful thing is that Fang Liangji is acting in the name of the palace. It's so infuriating."
Xiao Yeyang thought for a moment and said, "Fang Liangji is easy to deal with, but we have to take your cousin into consideration. Otherwise, why don't you call Chen Zhi over and ask him?"
Rice Flower nodded.
It is reasonable and moral for Fang Liangji to tell the Li family about the fact that he allowed a concubine to act as his wife.
Sun Jiayue counted the silver notes given by the Fang and Du families, and said to Fang Liangji with a smile, "They are sensible. It's exactly ten thousand taels."
Fang Liangji directly took out two tickets and gave them to Sun Jiayue as pocket money: "Buy whatever you like."
Sun Jiayue smiled and put the banknote away, then quickly kissed Fang Liangji: "I also heard a few of your conversations just now. Since there are new shops for rent, should we rent a few more?"
Fang Liangji smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I have already informed the people in the government office and asked them to reserve the shop in a good location for me."
As he spoke, a smug look appeared on his face.
"Luckily, the Li and Yan families are related. The name of the Weiyuan Palace is really useful in Xiliang. Do you know who received me? It was the mayor of Bamu Town."
At this moment, Fang Liangji was extremely glad that the Fang and Li families had married, because with the support of the Yan family, the Fang family's business had grown bigger and bigger over the years.
Nowadays, everyone who knows that he is related to the Weiyuan Palace tries their best to flatter him, and he enjoys everyone's praise.
Sun Jiayue was a little unhappy to see Fang Liangji praising the Li family so much, but she still happily agreed with Fang Liangji.
Fang Liangji smiled and said, "Not only do I need to rent a few more shops, but I also need to get a quota to sell tea. The Western Regions have the greatest demand for tea. As long as I get the quota, the Fang family's business will quickly reach new heights."
These words made Sun Jiayue's eyes sparkle. She hooked her arms around Fang Liangji's neck and said coquettishly, "Husband, the business here in Bamu Town is so big, why don't you call my brother over to help you?"
"You are so capable that you can even help the Fang and Du families. Please help my brother get a quota to sell tea. Don't forget, my family has a tea garden villa."
Seeing Fang Liangji's hesitation, Sun Jiayue immediately said, "If you're worried that Madam and the Li family will be unhappy, the shop will be opened in your name."
Fang Liangji thought that his good friend and uncle Sun Yongyi had not had a good life in recent years, and he wanted to help him. After thinking about it, he nodded in agreement.
