Chapter 421: The Female Sea King and the Handsome Guard (21)
Su Shilin patted his son's hand gently and said firmly, "Don't worry, Father will pave the way for you.
As for those who have hurt you, I will not let any of them go, and they will pay for what they have done."
After saying this, Su Shilin's eyes became sharp, as if he had already seen the fate of those people.
Bai Zimu looked at his father with a touch of emotion in his eyes. He also understood that he could not always rely on his father and that he needed to grow up quickly.
Meanwhile, Yan Xue, who was on the other side, was finally about to arrive in Kuncheng after more than two months.
"Master, do we live in the city?" Lin Changqing asked uncertainly, looking at the city gate in the distance.
Yan Xue chuckled, with a bright smile on her face: "Of course, Father! As the saying goes, great people hide in the city, don't underestimate this Kun City, it is a place where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden.
Besides, there are countless wealthy businessmen in Kuncheng, and we are just one of them."
"That's right, Xiaoxue is absolutely right! The great hidden in the city is exactly the truth." Yan Feng agreed with a smile, his eyes full of love and satisfaction.
Lin Changqing smiled and nodded.
The group rode on two mule carts and slowly drove towards Kuncheng.
When they were still 500 meters away from the gate of Kuncheng, they saw several figures waiting on the roadside in the distance.
Yan Feng hurriedly called the driver, and Manager Zhu and Manager Feng immediately came forward.
After seeing Yan Feng, they bowed respectfully and said in unison: "Master, you are finally here!"
Yan Feng smiled slightly and asked, "Have all the luggage been delivered?"
Stewards Zhu and Feng quickly replied, "They have all been delivered and properly placed in the newly purchased house."
Yan Feng nodded with satisfaction and asked, "We were delayed on the road for some time. Have you settled down in the city?"
Manager Feng sighed and replied helplessly, "There are many wealthy businessmen in Kuncheng. We have been looking for a suitable courtyard for half a month.
We only found a courtyard with three entrances, so we had no choice but to temporarily settle there."
Yan Feng frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Well, we came in a hurry, so we have to do this for now. Let's go into the city and take a look."
Following Yan Feng's order, the mule cart slowly drove into the city.
Yan Xue drew aside the curtains and looked at the bustling scene of Kuncheng curiously. She nodded secretly in her heart, thinking that maybe this was where she would live in the future.
After giving birth to the child in the future, after a year, she can consider taking seven or eight concubines and five or six maids. Just imagining such days, how wonderful!
The mule cart wobbled forward and finally stopped in front of a mansion gate.
Everyone got off the car. Yan Xue looked up and saw a plaque hanging above the door lintel with the words "Yan Mansion" written in large letters.
She felt an inexplicable sense of belonging in her heart, knowing that this was her new home.
Three days later,
Manager Feng was standing respectfully in the eldest lady's yard, reporting to her.
At this moment, she has become the manager of the outer courtyard of the Yan Mansion, mainly responsible for managing the family business affairs.
"Miss, take a look. This is the account book of the cloth shop from last month." Manager Feng carefully handed the account book to Yan Xue, looking a little nervous.
Yan Xue took the account book and looked through it carefully.
Looking at the data above, she couldn't help but frown: "How can it be so little? I only earned a little over 80 taels of silver in a month!"
Manager Feng explained with a worried look on his face, "Miss, there is nothing we can do about it.
The silks we brought from Fancheng are all of relatively plain color.
But the climate in Kuncheng is warm and pleasant, and people prefer brightly colored silk.
So our goods are not selling well here.”
In fact, Yan Xue noticed something when she entered the city that day.
The ladies in the city mostly wore brightly colored gauze in pink, purple, blue, white, etc.
The gentlemen were mostly dressed in white, blue and purple, and quite a few even wore red robes, which made them look particularly eye-catching.
In contrast, dark-colored clothing is indeed hard to see.
Hearing these words, Yan Xue fell into deep thought. After a moment, she slowly said, "Okay, let me think about it."
Also, you can ask around to see if there are other shops for sale? After all, one shop is really too little.
Manager Feng nodded slightly and said softly, "I have been paying attention to this matter, but it is really hard to find a good shop. However, I will continue to inquire in more places."
Yan Xue nodded slightly. Manager Feng seemed to suddenly remember something and continued, "This old servant has heard a piece of news recently. I am not sure of its authenticity yet. I am planning to send someone to verify it."
Yan Xue asked curiously: "Oh? What news?"
Manager Feng replied, “I heard that there is a man named Li in the city. His son passed the imperial examination this year and seems to have donated money to become an official. The family is planning to move away.
Mr. Li's family owns a lot of shops, but I don't know if they are willing to sell these properties."
Yan Xue was stunned. She calculated the time and found that the exam had indeed been over a long time ago. She looked down at her belly and it was not obvious that she was pregnant after just over two months. She wondered how Yan Jue was doing in the royal capital?
After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll arrange someone to investigate this matter." After that, he waved his hand and Manager Feng retreated.
Yan Xue instructed Bao Ya to inquire about Mr. Li's family affairs first. If it was true, it would be great if they could take over everything.
Just as we were making arrangements here, we heard the report from housekeeper Zhu outside.
"Miss, there is a man outside who claims to be Xue's attendant, but I am not very good at seeing and I really can't recognize him. Miss, please go and identify him."
Yan Xue frowned. How could she not recognize him? She stepped out of the door and saw a ragged beggar standing at her door.
Seeing the young lady coming, Xue immediately knelt down, hugged Yan Xue's legs, and cried out loudly: "Young lady, I am Xue Yixin, Xue Yixin!"
