Chapter 544 These are not secrets
"Of course there is. I'll ask someone to find it for you..."
The two of them chattered happily and said they were going together.
Jiang Lianzhu couldn't get a word in. Forget it. Just save her some money and she won't be too happy.
As they were talking, the carriage suddenly stopped.
When the curtain was lifted, I saw Yao and the old Marquis of Qingning getting out of the car at the gate of a wealthy and decent-looking mansion.
Old Qingning Hou and Liao Yan stopped Liao Jiu and spoke.
It seemed like something was being said, that they were forced to move, and the new home they rented was here. It was the house of their immediate superior, who was impressed by Liao Yan's talent and rented it to them for free, so that Liao Yan could come and visit when he had nothing to do.
And Yao deliberately said loudly, "Liao Jiu, we are a family. Your father is still here. Your brother Liao Yan will not ignore you. You stay at home all day, following a woman around. What's the matter with you? You can't be so decadent at such a young age. You still have a long life ahead of you. If you are willing, I will ask your brother to find a job for you in Jingzhao Prefecture. Your brother asked you to help find a job before, but you were not happy. Your brother is a kind and generous person and will not argue with you..."
This was said deliberately for Mrs. Zhou and the others in the carriage to hear.
Mrs. Zhou obviously heard it too, but she suppressed her expression and didn't move, pretending not to hear anything, and continued talking to her daughter.
Jiang Lianzhu gave Madam Zhou a thumbs up in her heart. If it had happened earlier, she would have gone down to fight with Yao. Now Yao was stirring up trouble and jumping around, but Madam Zhou remained unmoved. She really had the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family.
The longer Mrs. Zhou remains silent, the more Yao will appear like a clown.
Jiang Lianzhu was just curious. The house looked quite big, so Liao Yan must be doing a good job!
In such a short period of time, we have accumulated this wealth.
How did it rise so quickly?
The last time I saw him, Liao Jiu said that he was a small chief of the yamen runners in Jingzhao Prefecture. What level has he risen to now?
Jiang Lianzhu felt something was amiss, as if something didn't make sense.
Yao was chattering over there, and Liao Jiu seemed to decline and didn't want to say more to them, so he just let the carriage continue on its journey.

After sending Madam Zhou back to the Marquis of Qingning's Mansion, Liao Jiu, Jiang Lianzhu and others passed by the Lin family's pharmacy on their way home.
Jiang Lianzhu asked someone to stop the car as she planned to go to the pharmacy to buy some medicinal herbs.
She runs a clinic, mainly treating patients. In most cases, she prescribes medicine and asks patients to go to the pharmacy to get medicine. The clinic only stocks some commonly used medicinal materials in case of emergency.
Having a good relationship with the Lin family, all these things are easy. She can purchase goods directly from the Lin family pharmacy, and Mrs. Lin will give her the cost price.
The clinic ran out of common medicinal herbs today, so I happened to pass by here and went in to buy some more.
She recently spent a lot of medicinal materials to prepare medicine for the War King.
"Hey, Doctor Jiang, you're here!"
As soon as Jiang Lianzhu entered, someone greeted her warmly. It was Mrs. Lin's voice.
"Mrs. Lin, you're here too!!"
Mrs. Lin smiled brightly as she checked the accounts with several shopkeepers. "I came here for some business matters..."
Jiang Lianzhu also explained her purpose.
A diligent waiter has already gone to pour tea for Jiang Lianzhu.
Mrs. Lin stopped what she was doing and accompanied Jiang Lianzhu to the warehouse in the backyard to select medicinal herbs.
Jiang Lianzhu asked Madam Lin, "Has Ziyi sent any news recently? How is he doing at sea? Where is he going? Is everything going well?"
Madam Lin laughed and said, "This kid's been out playing, like a kite with a broken string. How could he remember to write back? These are all sent by the old housekeeper. They've already arrived at the first stop and started taking over the management. It's not going smoothly at the moment, but everything is difficult at the beginning. This is all to be expected. Anyway, young people need to go through a lot of hardships. The more difficult it is, the more it will hone their minds."
"Indeed, Ziyi is a very smart kid. He has a sharp mind and has learned business skills from his wife since he was a child. He has real skills. I am not too worried about him. He will do better and better one day."
Jiang Lianzhu still looked up to Lin Ziyi very much. Apart from liking to argue with her, she had never seen Lin Ziyi do anything silly.
A very capable young man.
The last time there was a banquet in Prince Xiang's mansion, he entertained the noble young men from the capital and he treated them very well. No one disliked him. Afterwards, Lin Ziyi made many friends with powerful and noble young men.
This shows that he is good at dealing with people.
She is much better than Jiang Lianzhu.
She is the type of person who will do whatever she wants if she doesn't agree. She is too strong-willed and it is really hard to change her.
After they got married, Liao Jiu spoiled her and did not restrain her nature. Anyway, she was increasingly releasing her nature.
Madam Lin still smiled. "Thank you for your kind words. By the way, I heard that the princess's birthday banquet is being held today. Are you going to attend it?"
From the direction they came from, Mrs. Lin could guess the route and guessed that they were going to the princess's mansion.
Jiang Lianzhu hummed, "Yes, the princess has invited us, so we have to do her the honor. There's a big happy event happening in the princess's mansion today. The eldest son has proposed to the eldest princess, and the emperor has agreed. I guess the engagement banquet will be held in a few days."
Madam Lin raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, "But the eldest son of Prince Zhan's mansion?"
"Exactly."
Madam Lin exclaimed in amazement, "This is truly a joyous occasion! Congratulations! It's a match made in heaven! But I heard rumors that the four young masters of Prince Zhan's palace can't get married. What's the reason? How did they arrange a marriage with the royal family?"
Jiang Lianzhu shook her head. "We don't know about that. We haven't heard anyone ask about it. It's such a great thing, no one would ask such a depressing question."
"That's true. It might just be a rumor. I haven't heard from the War King for a long time. It's said that he has been recuperating in the capital and hasn't been seen outside. Did the War King also go to the Princess's Mansion this time?"
"No, just Dalangjun."
These are not secrets. With so many guests there, the news will spread sooner or later.
Mrs. Lin was not an outsider, so Jiang Lianzhu told her everything she knew.
"You're the one who's willing to tell me this. Actually, I won't hide it from you. News about these powerful people is also a business opportunity for us businessmen. If the eldest princess's marriage is indeed finalized, we can prepare some wedding items in advance and sell them. If we make money, I'll definitely give your clinic a red envelope or even free herbs!"
Jiang Lianzhu laughed, "Hahaha, that's great. Next time I have any first-hand information, I'll come and tell you right away, and make some extra money."
"no problem."
