In the late Qing Dynasty, he brought the light-colored Luo shirt into the room and gave it to Liuyun. Liuyun admired it, "Lan Xi is really willing to give up the best brocade material."
Liu Yun still had some memories about this dress. Lan Xi sent someone to deliver the dress but did not say who sent it. As a result, on the day of her grandmother’s birthday, Lan Xi came wearing her usual clothes. Her grandmother asked curiously.
Only then did he realize that she kindly gave the clothes to Liuyun, but Liuyun was very disdainful of these plain clothes, and the birthday party ended up being unhappy.
"Yes, the second young lady rarely has such beautiful clothes." Wan Qing frowned. When Xiaotong brought it just now, he just said that the second young lady gave it to the eldest lady and that she could wear it on the old lady's birthday.
"Of course, my grandmother specially asked the garment workshop to make this." Liu Yun touched the fine material and said casually.
"How does the lady know?" Wan Qing was surprised. He lowered his head and looked at the clothes in his hands, but... this color was not the color that their lady was used to wearing.
Liu Yun propped his head and answered casually while flipping through the book, "Good brocades can't be bought in all shops. My father got three brocades last year. He gave one to each of Aunt Lin and Aunt Xia, and one to each other.
I married my grandmother, but during the Chinese New Year, Aunt Lin and Aunt Xia had already ordered people to make ready-made clothes, so only my grandmother’s piece was left unused.”
Wan Qing nodded, "Yes, the quality looks the same as the three horses I got before. But why didn't the second lady wear it herself and instead gave it to the eldest lady?"
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Liuyun smiled and said, "You can't think of such a simple truth? She knew that I always like to wear red, but she still gave me such light-colored clothes, just because she expected that I would not
I know how to wear it."
"Miss, this material is extremely rare. Although the color is a bit plain, it is very beautiful." Wan Qing wanted to say something else, but Liu Yun raised her hand to stop her from continuing, "Of course I can wear it, and I also want to say
It would be best to dress her up in a flashy outfit and piss her off to death."
Wan Qing covered her mouth and smiled, "It's great if the lady can think like this. I'm really worried that the lady has fallen into her trap."
"Go and ask the clothing workshop to make me some clothes suitable for my birthday." Liu Yun's eyes flashed with light. Wan Qing was stunned and immediately understood what she meant. He nodded repeatedly, "I'll go right now."
"Don't be busy, I have something to ask you." Liuyun waved his hand, glanced out as if nothing, and then asked, "How much money do I have in my hand now?"
"Ah?" Wan Qing frowned. Normally, the young lady never cares about this. Her silver jewelry and other things are kept separately by her and Qianlan. Why did she suddenly mention it today? Could it be that the young lady suspects that they are lining their own pockets?
Liuyun discovered with a headache that having a maid who was too fond of association was actually not a good thing. She paused and continued, "Wan Qing, I know you and Qianlan have many questions in their hearts, but you should be very clear about such a change.
It will allow me to survive in the Mu Mansion more smoothly. In the past, I naively thought that being the legitimate daughter meant that I was the most noble person, but now I realize that if I want to gain a foothold in the Mu Mansion, just being the legitimate daughter is of no use."
Wan Qing nodded fiercely, "I understand."
"I trust you, and I hope you can be worthy of my trust." This was the strongest sentence Liu Yun said. Wan Qing's expression suddenly changed, and he nodded fiercely.
While talking, Wan Qing had already taken out an account book from the bottom drawer of Liuyun's dressing table and handed it to Liuyun, "These are the things that slaves and Qianlan keep, including the jewelry left by the madam and the things that the lady has on weekdays."
Gifts and other things, Miss doesn’t have a lot of money every month, but she doesn’t use the money much, so these are not recorded, and they are usually used to reward servants.”
Liu Yun couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She didn't expect that she had so many things in her hands. She never cared about these things in her previous life. She was the eldest lady of Mu Mansion, and she had the best food and clothing. She never needed to use them.
Where there is money, if you give her an order, someone will immediately deliver it to her.
Last night, she was thinking over and over how to gain a foothold in Mu Mansion. She thought that the simplest way was to buy people's hearts, and the easiest way to buy people's hearts was money, so today she suddenly wanted to know what she had in her hands.
How much money can be misappropriated?
She didn't know it until she saw it, but she was shocked when she saw that she was actually so rich.
"In addition to these, Miss also has four shops, but now they are all in the hands of the Second Madam. I heard that the business has been good." Wan Qing tilted his head and thought for a while and continued, "The Second Madam usually doesn't care about it. Every shop has one.
Special stewards are in charge.”
After saying this, Liu Yun suddenly thought of several things, and she frowned and thought about it.
If she remembered correctly, a steward once came to her and said that Lin had changed the stewards in almost all the shops, saying that those people had deliberately excluded many old people who had worked in the shops for a long time.
, wanted to ask the eldest lady to come forward and talk to them, but Liuyun ignored the person at that time. She secretly guessed that Mrs. Lin was trying to find a way to take everything her mother gave her as her own.
She remembered that Lin’s mother-in-law’s family had no financial resources, but later became extremely rich. It seemed that there were several serious business problems, but they survived without any danger. Now it seems that her mother’s shops
It must have helped a lot.
"I'll write a letter later. You can leave the house quietly tomorrow and give the letter to Manager Liu." Manager Liu was the manager who came to look for her in the first place, and he was also one of the stewards chosen by her mother.
Her mother has always had a good eye for people. Whether it is the two girls who are staying with her now or the people who manage the four shops, they are all clear and capable people. Liu Yun never thought about interfering with the shops in the past.
, so she only vaguely heard her mother mention it a few words. She remembered that her mother specifically mentioned Manager Liu's character, saying that he was a rare and upright person.
To regain lost ground, we naturally need to coordinate internally and externally, right?
"Yes." A flash of light flashed in Wan Qing's eyes. Regardless of whether the young lady had really figured it out, she was very happy that the young lady had such a change. After thinking about it for a while, she said, "The young lady will be pregnant in a few months, sir.
I once said that my shop would be returned to the lady after she grows old, but..."
Liu Yun smiled, of course she knew what Wan Qing meant, and she didn't think Mrs. Lin would hand back these things easily, but she had plenty of ways to make her spit them out.
Seeing Liu Yun's confident look, Wan Qing knew that he might have been worrying too much. He originally wanted to remind the young lady, but now it seemed that the young lady had been recuperating in bed for the past few days and she should have really thought about it.
"Go and do your work, I'll go see Yuchen." As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yun stood up, put on some clothes and walked in the other direction.
