After Jin Yan finished speaking, he looked at his girl and saw that her expression remained the same, as if she didn't care about it at all. But she was just angry. This was different from Xie Zian bringing Liniang and Kang Geer back home alive. She was angry at Yan Mu for

Don't live with her girl.

The girl is still pregnant with his child and wants to give birth to him at all costs, but he wants to marry someone else.

"It's a nice day, let's go out," Liu Yunxiang said.

"Girl, your body..."

"What needs to be done must be done, otherwise I will die in peace."

"Bah, you are saying such unlucky things."

Liu Yunxiang smiled bitterly, her body was getting worse day by day, so she had to make preparations.

Jin Yan asked the groom to stop the carriage in the alley, then helped Liu Yunxiang get out of the car, and then walked towards the street. When passing by the silk and satin shop, he met Yuan Qingyue coming out with two maids.

Different from the fairy-like white clothes and plain skirts she always wore in the past, today she wore a scarlet trousers, a peach-colored skirt underneath, and a beaded and jade ring, making her look happy. The two maids beside her were holding handbags in their arms. It seemed that they had not bought them.

Less stuff.

When Yuan Qingyue saw her, her chin raised slightly, she walked up to Liu Yunxiang and said, "Third Madam, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why do you look so bad? Could you be sad?"

Liu Yunxiang looked at Yuan Qingyue and said with a smile: "Why do you think I am sad?"

Yuan Qingyue covered her mouth and smiled, "Of course I can't touch the moon in the mirror, nor can I pick up the flowers in the water."

"The flowers in the moon and water in the mirror are out of reach, so why do you think they are yours?"

"Why isn't it mine?"

"It's just a side room."

"But I have a status, do you?"

Liu Yunxiang looked at Yuan Qingyue like this, and suddenly felt that she was quite pitiful. A noble girl from a well-known family, who was once so noble and proud, was now happy to be a concubine. And she clearly knew that Yan Mu only regarded her as a substitute.

, don’t love her at all.

"Miss Yuan, eat more pig brains."

"What do you mean?"

"Just to replenish my brain."

After saying that, Liu Yunxiang walked forward, feeling angry in his heart.

It wasn't because of Yuan Qingyue's words or the fact that Yan Mu wanted to marry her, but because she suddenly felt that she should eat more pig brains.

Lingyun Grain Shop was so crowded that Liu Yunxiang had to go around to the back door. She drank two cups of tea before Zhang Qi came back from the front wiping her sweat.

"The rice, flour, grain and oil are being shipped in one after another, and all the major grain stores are open, but everyone gives face and gives priority to buying from us."

Liu Yunxiang poured him a cup of tea and asked him to drink some water to take a breath.

"I didn't ask you to promote a manager from below, so why are you still doing it yourself?"

"It's not that I'm worried."

"Sit down first." Liu Yunxiang poured Zhang Qi another cup of tea, "You are worried about your people, but I am."

With Liu Yunxiang's words, Zhang Qi felt that all the hard work these days had been worth it.

"Have you read the account books I gave you? Is there anything wrong with them?"

"The account books you made are very detailed, and you remember every transaction clearly. I only read one, and the others only saw the final total."

"If there is any discrepancy in any transaction, it's all just money. Do you really believe me?"

"Believe it." Liu Yunxiang looked at Zhang Qi, "If you don't believe it, I won't use you."

"As you say, Madam, Zhang Qi will be your companion for life."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "That's overkill."

She took out a stack of silver notes from her arms and handed it to Zhang Qi, "Everyone has worked hard these days. Without further ado, you share these silver notes with everyone. Each of your subordinates will receive one hundred taels. You

One thousand taels."

Zhang Qi's eyes widened, "One hundred taels? One thousand taels?"

His hands were shaking as he held the banknotes. A hundred taels would take an ordinary person more than ten years to save. He couldn't even imagine that a thousand taels would be saved in a lifetime.

Moreover, following my wife, they and their family did not starve during this famine, which is already a great blessing.

"No, no, we can't accept it."

Liu Yunxiang pushed back, "Take it, don't stop me from winning people's hearts."

"this……"

"Unless you think it's too little."

"No, no, it's too much."

Liu Yunxiang asked Zhang Qi's subordinates, "Come here today. I have one more thing to discuss with you."

"You said."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment and said: "The grain store business is stable, I want to do some other business."

Zhang Qi nodded, "As long as we have the brand name Lingyun, no matter what business we do, the people will support us."

During the famine, we resolutely refused to raise prices, did not flatter the powerful, and treated everyone equally. We first showed integrity, and with the Queen Mother's plaque, the government also had to give face, so everything went smoothly.

"I want to open a charcoal shop."

"ah?"

"Charcoal shop."

Zhang Qi blinked. He thought it was some kind of silk and satin shop, restaurant, jewelry store, etc. How could it be a charcoal shop?

Only rich families are willing to use this charcoal. Ordinary people burn firewood for heating, so the demand is not great. There are only three charcoal shops in Shengjing. The most important thing is that each house has a fixed charcoal shop, which is delivered every winter.

, I’m afraid the newly opened ones won’t take off. Besides, good charcoal is very expensive, and it would cost a lot of money to start storing it right now, so it’s really not appropriate.

All things considered, this business is difficult to do and the possibility of losing money is greater.

After listening to Zhang Qi's analysis, Liu Yunxiang nodded repeatedly, agreeing and appreciating it very much.

"What if this year is colder than previous years, or even heavy snow closes the city?"

"ah?"

"I'm afraid the three charcoal shops don't have enough reserves."

"But how did you know it would be cold this winter? How did you know there would be heavy snow? This is not God's business?"

"How do I know? You don't have to worry about it. You just say if this is the case, can this business be done?"

"Of course it can be done, and as long as people come to us to buy charcoal, it will open up a gap. As long as we maintain it well, there will be business in the coming year. The three largest charcoal shops in Shengjing will become the fourth largest."

"Then do it."

"Is your prediction accurate?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Didn't I tell you that I can do divination?"

"Uh, not really."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and then said: "Since it is a cold winter, the fur business will definitely be easy to do. You should make preparations and see if you send someone or go north yourself and sell some fur goods."

"good."

"The 60,000 taels of silver you gave me earlier, plus the money I raised, make a total of 80,000 taels. Use it first, and then tell me if you don't have enough."

Before leaving, she said to Zhang Qi: "I will give you full authority over Lingyun's business. This is not only a sign of trust, but also my last ditch effort."

"A last ditch effort?"

"If I am no longer here, he will be your boss."
