Chapter 81
Jiang Ling was about to put on her clothes and get out of bed to look for Su Mei, when she heard Mrs. Jiang cough lightly outside the door: "How long are you going to make trouble? Are you dying for her?"

Mu Xue came with Mrs. Jiang, now only Mrs. Jiang can persuade the general, the general is seriously injured, if he insists on going to Yangzhou, his life may be in danger.

Jiang Ling cast a cold glance at Mu Xue, and Mrs. Jiang said angrily, "Don't stare at her either, if that child Mu Xue hadn't told me, would you have thrown your life into it!"

Mu Xue helped Mrs. Jiang to sit down. Mrs. Jiang sighed and said: "You said that she lost a child, and you want to make up for her and marry her. I didn't agree, so you turned to you." I swear on the memorial tablet of the old woman that she is the only one who will not go in this life. I saw that she is also a quiet and sensible person, and she also agreed to your marriage, but I didn't expect that she was raising tigers to make trouble and recruited tigers and wolves into the mansion."

Mrs. Jiang punched her own knees, looking at Jiang Ling's pale face, her eyes were red with distress, "If something happens to you, how can my old lady go underground to meet your grandfather, your father!"

Mrs. Jiang lowered her eyes and wiped her tears.

Jiang Ling's thin lips trembled slightly, "Grandson is ashamed of her..."

Mrs. Jiang interrupted Jiang Ling angrily, "She is an unfamiliar wolf, I can't watch you ruin your life in her hands, I will guard you here, if you dare to step out One step at this threshold, and I'll bump my head to death in front of you!"

"grandmother!"

Madam Jiang glared at Jiang Ling, "Don't even think about it."

Jiang Ling had no choice but to lie down, and said after a long while: "Grandson obeys grandmother's orders and never dares to step out of this room."

Jiang Ling winked at Mu Feng who was beside her. Mu Feng was about to slip out, but Mrs. Jiang said angrily, "You are not allowed to go either."

Mu Feng cupped his hands and said: "If you go back to the old lady, the general is seriously injured, and I am going to inspect the barracks for the general."

Mrs. Jiang snorted coldly and said: "I have already asked for leave for you. Today, you are allowed to recuperate in the mansion for half a month. During this half month, you will recuperate here. You are not allowed to go anywhere!"

Mu Feng looked at Jiang Ling, Jiang Ling frowned, she could only nod her head and said: "Grandson listens to grandmother and doesn't go anywhere."

His grandmother was getting old, and he didn't want her to worry about him. After nightfall, he would find a way to go out quietly.

……

After Su Mei left the city, she took a boat to Yangzhou, but after half a day on the boat, she became dizzy and vomited continuously. A group of robbers crossing the river robbed property and killed the people on the boat. She saw people from the state government office salvaging corpses on the bank, and there were many unclaimed corpses among them.

Su Mei came up with a plan, spent two taels of silver, and bribed the people in the yamen to have the two charred female corpses exchanged for her and Jin Chuan's dresses.

Su Mei thought that if she escaped, there would be no guarantee that no one would come after her. She just took this opportunity to feign death with the help of two corpses. Even if she was found out in the future, she would have already taken Jin Chuan away.

Su Mei and Jin Chuan changed into men's clothes and walked slowly. After about ten days, they arrived in Yangzhou City.

Jin Chuan returned to Yangzhou, passed the bustling market, felt very happy for a moment, opened the curtain of the car to look around, and asked, "Miss, do we live in Liu's house?"

Su Mei smiled and said: "No need, take out that box, there is a lot of silver in it, enough for us to eat and live for a while."

She is the grand master's concubine's daughter. She used to have no worries about food and clothing. After amnesia, she was sent to others for money and suffered all kinds of humiliation. There was a lot of money in the box, and Mu Xue gave a lot, which was enough for her and Jin Chuan to spend most of their lives. The days of worry-free food and clothing are over.

Su Mei took out 100 taels of silver and handed it to Jin Chuan, and said with a smile, "You grew up in Yangzhou and are very familiar with everything here. With this 100 taels, you can take me to visit Yangzhou city first, and take me to taste the delicacies of Yangzhou." , let's stay in a hotel tonight."

"The servant was born in Yangzhou and is familiar with every street here. The servant will definitely not disappoint the girl."

Su Mei chose to go to Yangzhou City because she had her own plan. The Qin Mansion was reduced to ashes overnight, and her home was confiscated. She had nothing but this box, so why not go to Yangzhou. The prosperity of Yangzhou is not inferior to that of Beijing. She is doing some small business here, and can support herself and Jin Chuan.

After walking around, Su Mei found that the shops on the street were too expensive. It took a lot of money to buy the shop and stock up, and money was needed to buy a house and servants. In this way, the money in her hands was quickly spent. Su Mei thought for a while, then went to a small house far away from the trading company, selected a few flexible servants, and said to Jin Chuan who was tidying up the house, "Come with me to Liu's house first."

Along the way, Su Mei also inquired a lot about the Liu family. Since the grandfather passed away, the Qin family was convicted and could no longer operate the salt business. The business plummeted.

Although the Liu family has a lot of shops, but my uncle and cousin are not good at managing them, they closed half of the shops in just one year, and only a few of the remaining half of the shops are making profits, and most of them are in a state of loss. There are many shops in the Liu family. If she can get one or two, it should be more than enough to maintain her and Jin Chuan's future expenses.

Thinking of being taken advantage of by the Liu family, Su Mei even walked more briskly.

After the grandfather died, the second uncle Liu Zecheng was in charge of the Liu Mansion. Liu Zecheng was soft-hearted and easy-going, but the second aunt He Shi was known for being aggressive and unreasonable. Money, and often withhold money from the widow and wife of the eldest housewidow, and treat their mother and daughter harshly.

Before the Shen family brought He Shi into the capital, Jiang Ling stabbed He Shi's eldest son to death, but she got a lot of money from King Qi, but most of the money was put into those loss-making shops, and she felt overwhelmed. Furious, Liu Zecheng went to check the shop as usual early this morning, and He stood in the yard with his hands on his hips and started cursing:
"My marriage to your Liu family is really bad luck for eight lifetimes. They all say that your Liu family has a great career, and they all say that I married in to enjoy the blessings. Pooh! Look at what a miserable life I am living now. Marry a A wimpy and useless husband wiped out the huge family business left by his ancestors, and this big family still counts on me to live as a woman. The last time I went to the capital, I even lost my son. Liu Zecheng, I am I was blind, so I followed you, a useless ass."

The servants who were in charge of sweeping in the yard were doing things in silence, as if they had already gotten used to the scene of the housewife insulting the housewife in public.

Liu Zecheng was scolded bloody early in the morning, but he didn't even dare to refute a word, he knew very well that if he spoke back, He Shi would scold him endlessly.

He sighed, and prepared to leave the house in disgrace. Recently, business has not been doing well, and there are still hundreds of shop assistants who need to support them. As for those shops that are losing money, no one will take over them. what life.

He even needed to supplement a large amount of money in order to keep the shop running normally, so he had to ask He Shi for money, which caused her to yell at her.

Liu Jiaying heard her father being scolded, but didn't even look at it, she stepped forward and took He's arm and said: "Mother, the bird's nest in the house has been eaten, mother will give me another 50 taels of silver."

He's expression changed instantly, he patted Liu Jiaying's hand, and smiled amiably, "Daughter, the magistrate's lady invited you to the flower viewing banquet yesterday, you have fallen in love with the noble son of which family, hurry up with your mother!" Say it."

Liu Jiaying stuck out her tongue, stretched out her hand and said, "Mother, add 50 taels of silver."

"Okay, I'll give it all to you. Tell your mother quickly."

Liu Zecheng opened his mouth and swallowed what he wanted to say. Liu Jiaying spends money lavishly, but Heshi is obedient to her, and the monthly expenses are hundreds of taels of silver.

But what's the use of him talking, the two of them don't pay attention to him at all.
