Chapter 243 Inquiries (1)
Wei Ying rubbed her face, "It's hard to say, this time I'm sure not as lucky as last time. It's impossible to be promoted in one term. Last time it was because I was demoted, and then I was very good at suppressing bandits, water control and rent collection. Achievements. And the fifth rank, it is impossible to rise so fast. The fourth rank is a watershed, and many people stop at the fourth rank in their lifetime. After the fourth rank, you can become a member of the imperial court. That is not because we have a good relationship with everyone If it’s good, it’s done. It’s a carrot and a pit. And if I can’t move up and be transferred at the same level, then I might as well seek re-election.” They have a considerable net worth now, and it is still easy to seek re-election if they perform well in the evaluation.

Shen Ji told Wei Ying in detail what happened when he stayed in Huaiyang for two months, and then talked about the situation of his own property.

Wei Ying sighed and said: "Now you have a total net worth of 15. I didn't dare to think about it before. Two taels of silver a month is still enviable. When you first came home, you stared at him every day with bitter hatred. A few pickles in that bowl, and some porridge that was so clear that it couldn’t be clearer, I always got up in the middle of the night to scoop up water from the water tank to satisfy my hunger, and then went to the latrine again and again.”

Shen Ji stared wide-eyed, "You know all about it!"

"It's such a small thatched hut, so it's not clear what's going on. Auntie fell asleep after a busy day, so I don't know. I sleep during the day and sleep at night, so I don't sleep so much. Otherwise, why would I divide the meals? I’ll give you something to eat, just because you’re afraid that you’ll run away from starvation. Let’s not say that our family’s money is in vain, and you won’t be able to get it yourself.” He said with a smile, “But at that time, I really didn’t expect you to change. Be my daughter-in-law. We can still have this day. At that time, I thought I would not be able to survive. If we were in the capital at this time and wanted to buy a house near the imperial city, we could afford to buy a big house .”

Aunt Wei passed by and heard them recalling bitterness and sweetness, so she couldn't help but stop and listen for a while.At this time, he smiled and said: "I'm afraid the most correct thing I did in my life was to buy Xiao Ji back for two taels of silver after listening to the fortune teller."

Wei Ying sat up and muttered, "It doesn't count if you co-authored to raise me, is she worth more than me?"

Aunt Wei shook her head, "Is there such a comparison? I mean, if Xiaoji hadn't come to the house, I would have sold all the ten acres of Susukida at that time and it wouldn't be enough for your Shuxiu. Let you be exempted from the tuition fee for books, but we still have to go to the exam again and again for daily miscellaneous expenses, and we can't make up money. At that time, thanks to Xiao Ji, he led me to sell luck knots, fish ball soup, etc. "

Shen Ji raised two fingers and shook them, "I'm not as valuable as Mr. Wei, you have a net worth of 10,000+. As for me, I bought it for two taels of silver to protect you from disaster."

Aunt Wei smiled and said, "Maybe you are really the lucky star hit by Ying'er. At that time, I was almost desperate. To be honest, I spent two taels of silver for a skinny little girl who didn't know if she would survive. Girl, I regretted it when I got home. It's just that the silver has already been bought for a thin coffin, and there is nowhere to find someone to return it."

Shen Ji just smiled, "At that time, I was so afraid that you would sell me to him to pay for the medicine. He and the Chengtian family frightened me that the fugitive slave would not have to pay for his life if he was killed."

Wei Ying's chest heaved, "It's all over, and there will be good days waiting for us in the future. This is called the end of all hardships, and it's not very happy."

Shen Ji was thinking that you were going to take an official career, how could it be a smooth one.But now is a good day after all!
In the days that followed, Shen Ji lived a leisurely life as an official's wife, going out to temple fairs with officials of the same level or lower levels from time to time, or taking Wei Ying, who was in sleep, out for a tour of the landscape.After returning home, pay attention to the news from the old house.There was no change in Lixiangyuan. The Hong sisters had already been sent to the capital by Lin's arrangement. Hong Daya stayed with her parents, and Erya was preparing for marriage.This time, Director Hong is grateful to Shen Ji for disregarding the previous suspicions, needless to say.Now Wei Ying is an official abroad, and Shen Ji accompanies her.Manager Hong is taking care of all the human relations in the capital.Whether he is attentive or not is crucial to Wei Ying's career advancement.

Then the business everywhere is also concerned.Shen Ji hasn't handed over the design draft from Fatty Hu for a long time.She said that she has no motivation, and she is making a lot of money by doing nothing now, who still has the heart to draw design drafts.

What she and Wei Ying are focusing on now is another matter, which is the private property of the second house.You can't die by beating a snake, but you will be bitten by a snake.Erfang has hidden strength, and it would be too much for them to bite them suddenly.She will not always be so lucky, just like avoiding Lin Ziqin's entanglement and getting rid of Erfang's frame, she can get through every time without any danger.

Fatty Hu helped to investigate this matter, but there was no clue.On the contrary, Xu Mao, who was born in a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River and married to the daughter of the Chu family, one of the four major merchants in the world, provided some powerful clues.It's not too late to put these things on the table, Erfang is now a street rat in the clan.But if he doesn't continue, and they can't produce evidence that the second room framed the mother-in-law, and then beat the dog in the water, it will make the clan think they are going too far.Shengsheng turned the object of resentment in everyone's eyes into a vulnerable group.Also, I'm afraid the old man will go right away.They cannot bear the charge of unfilial piety.Moreover, it is the common wish of both of them to make the old man's last days peaceful.Also let yourself live in peace during this time, and enjoy the comfortable life now.

Shen Ji flipped through the account books of the shops under his jurisdiction that Fang Datong and Pang Guanshi sent respectively.Guanshi Pang was a senior in the business world that Wei Ying took over by chance in those days. Fang Datong was regarded as his direct disciple, and he had been taught by him in Beijing for the past three years.Otherwise, Shen Ji didn't dare to hand over the two shops in Huaiyang to him.The other four were handed over to Steward Pang.Because there is no major event in Lixiangyuan now, Wan Cui should have more experience now, so although Steward Pang has the name of the manager, it is Wan Cui who is in charge.

After reading the account books, Shen Ji had an understanding of the profitability of the six shops in the old house.She was in a hurry to leave before, so she didn't worry about it at all.Under the concerted efforts of Steward Pang, Fang Datong and the six major shopkeepers, the profit has not dropped much compared to when it was in Erfang's hands.Shen Ji took [-]% of the profit from each shop to reward the big shopkeeper, and another [-]% to reward Pang Guanshi and Fang Datong who were in charge of the shop. Even if there was internal fighting between them, the goal of making money was the same.Speaking of which, the business of these six families has not been affected much after the separation.

Over the past few months, the effect of doing so is obvious, and all the houses can see it.Moreover, the big shopkeepers of those shops are also watching.The Changfang is still recruiting talents who can manage the shop, because at this time, both the shopkeeper and the Pang manager Fang Datong are struggling.Of the six shopkeepers, only two remained in office, and the other four were brought up by the second shopkeeper.Although Fang Datong has been taught by Pang Guanshi for several years, he is still a newcomer in the shopping mall. It is not easy to manage two shops and win the approval of the two big shopkeepers. To take care of both big and small things in Lixiangyuan, although there is Wancui's help, it is still difficult to split the mind.Such a situation can be supported for a while, but not for a long time.Therefore, Shen Ji has been asking Pang Guan to look for talents.
