After hearing Webster talk about Jiang Mansion, Mrs. Lian's complexion completely improved.
"No, Lian Lin went to Jiang Mansion, and Miss Yan said that she and Jiang Dong's family will be at the house tomorrow, so we can just go there. In addition, Lian Lin asked about the price, and she only said it was not expensive. The specific price is for us.
Let’s discuss here.”
When Webster heard this, he looked happy: "If that's true, it must be really good. Miss Yan is an honest person and won't tell lies. The food in her restaurant tastes good and the price is affordable. I think it's an affordable place."
thing.”
Mrs. Lian nodded: "No, you can discuss it with Shengfeng later and see how much the price you want to set. You'd better send someone to the streets to have a look and ask how much the price is, so that you can have an idea. In addition,
You can start making preparations and invite ladies and ladies from various mansions to come over for a gathering. After you come back from Jiang Mansion tomorrow, bring back some things and entertain those ladies and ladies later. Tomorrow you will bring the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter with you and learn how to do it.
Massage or something.”
When Wei Shi heard this, he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, my daughter-in-law will ask someone to check the price. Mother, if all the ladies and ladies from the mansions of my good friends come over, just four girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter will not be enough, not as much as
Also ask Xiang'er and Gui'er who are beside my mother to come and study together?"
Even the old lady thought that she would have to use it herself, and Xiang'er and Gui'er had learned it, so she readily agreed: "Okay! Miss Yan said earlier that she would ask someone to come over and learn from it. I will take this opportunity tomorrow to teach the people here."
People should learn first. We have to hurry up and invite the ladies from all over the place before the shop is renovated and opened for business."
I don't know if the massage technique is difficult to learn or how long it will take.
If it is not difficult to learn, she can arrange for those ladies to come over in advance.
In this way, once the shop opens, there will be no worries about running out of business, and word of mouth will also spread.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law will make arrangements now! Mother, what about this account?"
Webster said, pointing to the account books he was working on.
Mrs. Lian snorted coldly and said: "We will wait until the end of the year to settle the matter. If you can't wait, you can give it now, but after you give it, you will move out of the Lian Mansion immediately. As for the separation of the family, we will talk about it later."
Webster nodded repeatedly, she wished all those people would move out.
Each house and courtyard has nothing to do. In addition to money, there are various expenses every month. Firewood, rice, oil and salt, clothes for all seasons, jewelry, servants to use, annual repairs to the courtyard, etc. Everything is needed.
money.
But I don’t think it’s much, but just for servants, it will cost a lot in a month.
There are at least a dozen servants in a courtyard, and not to mention how much money is spent to buy the servants, the monthly silver and expenses of just one servant are quite a lot.
The sum total of these strokes is quite terrifying.
A yard costs hundreds of taels a month anyway. Adding the expenses of each house in a house together, it costs thousands taels a month.
This year, it will be tens of thousands taels.
If she could kick people out and spend twice as much money, she would be willing to do so.
But it seems unlikely at the moment. Although those people are not involved in production, they are not stupid and know how to benefit them.
Otherwise, he would not have used his own dowry to help Lian Fu when he was in trouble.
But precisely because of this, even if she felt impatient, she wouldn't care too much about it.
The Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace in the Great Chu Capital City
Eunuch Ming dusted the toilet paper and said to Emperor Yongchang, who was immersed in his desk: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jiang is asking for an audience outside the palace!"
Emperor Yongchang was busy with the digging of canals in the Hongwu Kingdom that the prince mentioned. When he heard this, he raised his head and rubbed his brows, and said in a tired voice: "Xuan!"
Eunuch Ming took the order and retreated. Not long after, Concubine Jiang came in with a note and a picture in her hand, with a happy face.
"I have met the emperor!"
Emperor Yongchang looked at Concubine Jiang, his expression softened a lot: "My beloved concubine, please get up! What makes my beloved concubine so happy? What happy event is it?"
Concubine Jiang looked around, then walked to Emperor Yongchang, handed him the note and portrait, stood behind him, rubbed his temples, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the girl Shiqing gave birth at the end of June.
He is a grandson of the emperor, and I have a successor to the great Chu State."
After hearing this, Emperor Yongchang hurriedly opened the note. After reading it, he looked at the portrait again and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Okay, okay, okay!"
Now he, Da Chu, finally has a successor, and he is the son of Fuxing and his royal son.
Nothing made him happier than this.
No matter how hard she tried, Concubine Jiang couldn't hide the smile in her eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, the child doesn't have a name yet. It is said that he has a nickname called Nian'an, and the name is waiting for you to choose."
When Emperor Yongchang heard this, he paused. Thinking of the word Nian'an, he immediately understood what was going on.
When Concubine Jiang returned to the palace, she told him that Yan Shiqing's daughter would be called An Ning, nicknamed An An.
Yan Shiqing was previously pregnant with twins, but one of them was aborted. It seems that they wanted to commemorate the lost child.
"This kid looks really like Lao Liu!"
Emperor Yongchang looked at the portrait, sighed with emotion, and then said: "A few days ago, I asked someone to look up the family tree. Nian'an's generation coincides with the generation with the word "yu". If not, let's call him Huaijin. What do you think, my beloved concubine?
"
"Huai Jin?"xdw8
Concubine Jiang read it once and found it quite fluent, so she responded: "The word Jin means beautiful jade, and I like it very much."
Emperor Yongchang saw this and nodded: "Then I will give you the name Huaijin, Chu Huaijin."
As he spoke, he reached out and touched the face of the little baby in the portrait, as if he could touch it with his own hands.
This child is his grandson. He finally has a grandson.
"I would like to express my gratitude to the emperor for bestowing my name on behalf of Xi Mo and Shi Qing."
As Concubine Jiang said, she walked up to Emperor Yongchang and bowed.
Emperor Yongchang was in a good mood. After putting the portrait away, he reached out to support Concubine Jiang and said: "Now, the Shiqing child's affairs should not be spread in a big way before she returns. After she comes back, you can make people take care of her."
Take her and the child back to the palace and let me have a look. Then you have to do whatever you want and don't wrong her."
Concubine Jiang knew that the situation was special, and nodded when she heard this: "I know! Your Majesty, Ximo has sent a message, and Hongwu Kingdom has sent an envoy, and I think he will arrive in the capital soon."
"Well, you go down first."
Everything is ready now, and what is waiting now is the ambassador of Hongwu Kingdom.
The prince's previous proposal to dig canals was refuted by many people in the court. Even though he supported it, most people in the court always hoped that the emperor would think twice.
Fortunately, Huaizhou, Rongcheng and their surrounding areas are all supportive and have already begun to take action.
"Yes, I will retire!"
After Concubine Jiang came out of the imperial study, she returned to her Linlang Palace and asked her left and right to leave, leaving Grandma Jiang alone. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a cheerful face: "Mammy, I have become a grandmother."
She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
