After losing my memory, I became a soft double for the general

Chapter 166
After Liu Lingshan finished speaking, she put another box on the table and said, "Cousin, here are the profits and account books of the shop for the past few months."

Su Mei looked through the account books. In just two short months, the profits of the pawn shop, clothes shop and jewelry shop turned out to be tens of thousands of taels of silver. profit.

"The business is really good." She took out two 500 taels of bank notes and handed them to Liu Lingshan, "The business of the shop is so prosperous, it's all thanks to you. Now that you live in the capital, your family must have a lot of expenses. The 1000 taels You deserve the two bank notes, so don't refuse me."

Liu Lingshan had no choice but to accept the banknotes. She had saved more than half of the wages that Su Mei gave her for the past few months. With the 1000 taels of silver notes this time, she had already chosen a small shop. What Yue learned from Su Mei, first opened a jewelry shop.

"I'm planning to open a jewelry store in West Market, and I've already selected the storefront. Although the store is not big, I'm confident that after this year, the store should be able to make a profit."

She watched Su Mei's face carefully. After all, she used to work for Su Mei. Now she plans to open a shop by herself. I don't know if my cousin will be unhappy.

Su Mei didn't look unhappy, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Mei saw through her thoughts, held her hand, patted her hand, and said, "I'm also happy for you that you have your own shop." She took out another 2000 taels of silver bills from the box, handed them to Liu Lingshan and said: " These 2000 taels of silver bills count as the money I invested in the shop, and they are not given to you for nothing."

It costs a lot of money to buy a shop and stock up, so Liu Lingshan must have spent all the money she saved in the shop because she saved food and inspections.

Originally, she hoped to use the severe drought to hoard grain and rice to earn some money, but when Jiang Ling was in Shuozhou, due to the shortage of grain and grass, she almost lost the battle. They were all shipped to Shuozhou.

In addition to the income from these three shops, she actually lost a lot of money in it.

"Thank you, cousin!" Liu Lingshan was so moved that tears filled her eyes, she held Su Mei's hand tightly, and used a handkerchief to tuck the tears from the corners of her eyes. She knew that Su Mei saw her life was difficult, so she helped her.

How could my cousin like her small shop?

However, the hardest days have passed. She brought her mother into the capital from the Liu family and lived in the house Su Mei gave her. Although her life was not rich, she had the love of her husband and a family. Living together, she is already very satisfied.

"Lingshan will definitely not disappoint my cousin. Now that Tzuyu has become the Prince's staff member, she also has a monthly salary of 30 taels of silver. When the shop makes a profit, I will return the money to my cousin."

"The prince's staff?" The prince's current situation is not good. The imperial concubine and the third prince have taken control of the government, and the prince will be abolished in the near future, and the third prince will be replaced. Pei Ziyu will work for the prince. No future.

Pei Ziyu is a student from a poor family, and he only got into high school through his own efforts. Su Mei couldn't bear to see Pei Ziyu being full of talent but following the wrong person.

Seeing Su Mei's worry, Liu Lingshan approached her with a smile, leaned close to her ear and said, "Cousin, don't worry, my husband said he has other arrangements."

The prince's situation is not only bad, he can be said to be overwhelmed by the third prince everywhere, the imperial concubine in the palace firmly holds the power of the harem, the prince's power is weakened, and he is not far from being abolished.

"I don't know what brother Ziyu is going to do, but he said that he is doing things for the prince on the surface. He came with me today, and he has already gone to the front hall, saying that he is helping the general find out the whereabouts of a person. .”

So it turned out that Pei Ziyu must be on Jiang Ling's side, and there must be some purpose for approaching the prince, so Su Mei was relieved.

Jin Chuan came in to refill tea for them, and Liu Lingshan said again: "Cousin, I went back to Yangzhou a few days ago and saw Liu Jiaying with my own eyes."

It has been a long time since I heard about Liu Jiaying, Su Mei almost forgot her existence, "Is she still in Xu's house?"

Liu Lingshan frowned, nodded and sighed: "She seems to be suffering a lot. There is a long scar on the right side of her face, and her appearance has been destroyed. Her eyes are like a frightened bird. Bird, when she saw me, she ran over suddenly and hugged my leg..."

She remembered Liu Jiaying's frightened expression, her haggard and pitiful appearance, and her brows were tightly frowned, "She knelt in front of me, crying about what happened to Xu's family with snot and tears, her teeth seemed to be beaten A few seeds fell off, and the words leaked, although I can't hear clearly, but I know that she must have a very bad life in Xu's family, and I heard that Xu Yuanshan's madness is getting worse and worse."

It's just that Liu Jiaying's experience does not make people sympathetic, she can have today's end all thanks to herself.

"Second uncle doesn't seem to have rescued him." Ever since she learned that Xu Yuanshan was such a person, Su Mei could almost predict Liu Jiaying's miserable end.

Liu Lingshan shook her head, sighed again and said, "She begged me to let my second uncle come and save her. She was followed by the two wives of the Xu family. She left them and ran out suddenly, but Before I could say a few words, the two wives came forward and said to me that their young lady is crazy, so I don't need to pay attention to what she said, and she was dragged away by those two wives in the end."

When being dragged away, Liu Jiaying yelled and cried so hard that her voice became hoarse from crying, but no one paid any attention to her.

"Did the second uncle go to the Xu family to ask for someone later?" Liu Jiaying and He's fate was miserable, and the most sad one should be the uncle.

Liu Lingshan sighed: "Yes, but the Xu family exchanged Liu Jiaying with a generous dowry, how could they agree to let her go back? The second uncle is honest, and he couldn't argue with the Xu family, so he went to report to the official and demanded a reconciliation." However, the Xu family demanded that the second uncle return the betrothal gift in front of the officials, and even extorted a large sum of money, threatening to release Liu Jiaying only after the betrothal gift and the money were in hand, but the Liu family is now controlled by the second aunt, and the second aunt Auntie is very aggressive, she will never give money to my second uncle to redeem Liu Jiaying."

The Liu family had already lost, so Liu Zecheng naturally couldn't exchange those betrothal gifts and money for his daughter.

"It's hard for an upright official to break up housework. Returning the dowry is also a legitimate request of the Xu family. If the second uncle can't come up with the money and the dowry, naturally he can't even think about redeeming Liu Jiaying. Cousin can't give the second uncle money to redeem Liu Jiaying."

Su Mei is kind-hearted, maybe if she softens her heart, she will give money to the Xu family to let Liu Jiaying go.

Liu Lingshan and Chen's had been made things difficult by Liu Jiaying and He's in the past, Chen's illness was not treated in time because of lack of money, so in this life he could only drag his sick body along with medicines and medicines.

As for Liu Lingshan, because there was no charcoal fire in winter, she was forced to live in a side courtyard where the servants lived with the Chen family. She almost froze to death several times. There were also bouts of chills.

The doctor said that she suffered from the cold caused by being exposed to cold since she was a child, which led to her cold constitution. If she hadn't taken medicine to recuperate, she might not have been able to conceive.

And all this is because Heshi took away the money left by her grandfather and father to her and her mother, took away their yard, and drove them to a side courtyard where even the servants didn't want to live.

Su Mei shook her head, "I won't."

She is not a person who repays grievances with virtue, she can only reap the same results as she sows, and these are all the evil results of Liu Jiaying's self-satisfaction.
