Chapter 202 Han Nian'an is proud
Han Nian'an was stunned. She only knew that something would happen in the General of Cavalry's Mansion, and many people were implicated. As for what was happening in the Marquis' Mansion at the time, she was not in the imperial city and had no idea.
but……
When she arrived at the imperial city in her previous life, no one knew how long the General of Cavalry had been dead, but the Changning Marquisate was still doing well. She thought it should not have been implicated, otherwise Jiang Suining would not have been able to continue to be the mistress of the Marquisate.
Thinking of this, Han Nian'an said confidently: "The Marquis' Mansion will be fine."
"That means I won't be implicated because of my contact with Chen Xing?" Zhou Yihong asked immediately.
Seeing Han Nian'an nod, he felt relieved.
Although it was just an incident of a government ship capsizing, Zhou Yihong almost completely believed Han Nian'an's words.
Or, in other words, there is someone around him who can predict the future, and that person is his concubine. Although such a thing is bizarre, the temptation is too great, like pie falling from the sky, making Zhou Yihong instinctively want to believe it.
Compared to Zhou Yihong's excitement, Qin was obviously much more cautious. The incident of the official ship was not enough to make her completely believe Han Nian'an.
After all, if the other party could really predict the future, then why didn't he predict what would happen to her after entering the Marquis' Mansion?
But in the final analysis, Han Nian'an was right about this matter. Half-believing and half-doubting, Qin finally did not keep the man locked up in the woodshed, but he still could not leave the mansion at will.
But the fulfillment of the official ship incident was enough for Han Nian'an to regain her confidence. After leaving the woodshed, she dressed up and consummated her marriage with Zhou Yihong that night.
Although they had already been husband and wife for a long time, Han Nian'an had never consummated her marriage after entering the Marquis's Mansion. Only now was she considered a concubine in full sense of the word.
On the second day after the wedding consummation, Han Nian'an deliberately wandered around in the yard. When she saw the maid who had brought her food before and looked at her with disgust, she slapped her several times.
Seeing that the maid was beaten so hard that blood was coming out of the corners of her mouth and her cheeks were swollen, Han Nian'an felt a lot better.
When Qin heard about this matter, she was having lunch and shook her head.
"He just got out of trouble and started to show off before he could even stand firmly on his feet. Such a person will never achieve anything great."
Han Nian'an didn't know about this evaluation. She was assigned to the Xifeng Courtyard next to Zhou Yihong. After teaching the man a lesson, she returned to her own courtyard and established her authority again.
Although the servants agreed on the surface, they couldn't help but complain in their hearts. With such a demeanor, if you didn't know better, you would think she was the mistress of the house!
The news of the accident on the official ship has spread everywhere.
In the next two days, the price of raw silk began to rise. When Yunniang saw Jiang Suining again in the embroidery workshop, she was already very surprised.
She originally thought that the young lady was just talking casually, but she didn't expect that the price of raw silk would actually increase.
"Miss, if this trend continues, I estimate that the price will continue to rise, maybe even double. This is much more profitable than the embroidery products of our Ningjinfang!"
"Relying on luck and taking shortcuts is not a long-term solution. Although the profits from embroidery products in the embroidery workshop are not much, they are stable." Jiang Suining spoke as he checked a new batch of embroidery patterns.
Xier followed behind her, listening carefully to what her young lady said, remembering every word in her heart.
Yunniang nodded. "Miss, what you said makes sense. Recently, a few more shops have signed contracts with our embroidery workshop, saying that they will supply goods on time every month. It is estimated that the profit next month will increase by another 20%."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. No matter how much you supply, the quality must be guaranteed, and the embroiderers must not be overworked. If there is a shortage of manpower, then we can hire more people. In addition, I asked someone to go to the clinic to prepare some medicinal tea for clearing the liver and improving eyesight, which should be delivered in the afternoon. You can ask someone to boil water for the embroiderers to drink. Embroidery is very tiring for the eyes, so you must pay more attention."
Listening to Jiang Suining's instructions, Yunniang felt more grateful.
"Miss, don't worry, I will definitely follow your instructions. It is a blessing for those embroiderers to meet such a good boss like you."
In accordance with the young lady's instructions, Ningjinfang hired mostly girls and women from poor families. These people embroidered day and night and became very skilled in embroidery. However, their embroidery works could not necessarily be sold, so they could only end up working in embroidery workshops.
But if you meet a black-hearted master, the money you earn is only enough to make a living. If you want to help the family, you can only continue to embroider day and night.
Not only does the young lady pay high wages, but she can also share the profits from the sales of embroidery with the embroiderers. Although the amount is not much, by accumulating it piece by piece, a lot of money can be saved in a year.
With the real money in their pockets, everyone felt that life was promising. They were very motivated and did their work in a very serious manner, for fear that they would not be able to sell at a good price.
After Jiang Suining checked the new patterns and confirmed that there were no problems, she asked a few more questions about daily life and then left the embroidery workshop.
When they were almost at Jiang's house, Jiang Suining met Shen Yanxi.
Two days ago at the Third Prince's Mansion, Jiang Suining had something to say to Shen Yanxi, but because there were so many people around, he didn't say much.
When they met at this moment, Jiang Suining walked up and greeted him with a normal expression.
However, before she could continue speaking, Shen Yanxi told her a piece of news.
"Something happened to Pei Zhaozhi."
Jiang Suining was startled, "What happened?"
"He said that when he was returning home from the Dali Temple at night, he encountered bandits on the way. They robbed his purse and beat him severely. He is still in a coma now."
Jiang Suining's heart skipped a beat.
This is the imperial city. How could such bold bandits come from to rob an official appointed by the imperial court?
Even if he didn't know Pei Zhaozhi's identity, he could have robbed the money bag, and even beat him severely...
"Is Pei Zhaozhi still investigating what happened before?"
Shen Yanxi nodded, "Yes."
He didn't believe the rumor about the bandits stealing the purse. Moreover, as far as he knew, Pei Zhaozhi knew some martial arts, and ordinary bandits might not be able to injure him like this.
"It seems that the person behind the scenes is really not simple." Jiang Suining thought of the bushes again, but she did not mention it to Shen Yanxi.
Shen Yanxi looked at Jiang Suining, "Although you may not need my reminder, I still want to tell you to forget about what happened before, don't think about it anymore, and don't mention it again. At least now is not the time to mention it."
When Sui Ning saw the tiger in the Third Prince's mansion, they looked at each other and it was obvious that they were both thinking of the same thing, the wild wolf.
However, simply raising ferocious beasts is not enough to prove anything, perhaps it is just a coincidence.
Jiang Suining understood what Shen Yanxi meant. If the people behind the scenes dared to attack Pei Zhaozhi, let alone himself, at least for now, he must not get involved.
