Dressed as the pampered step room of the grandfather

Chapter 133 The Most Profitable Person

"What about other grains? Has the price risen so much?" Song Yu put down the ledger in her hand and looked at Mother Han with sharp eyes.

He didn't know anything about this matter, and he never expected that he would have such an unexpected harvest when he accompanied his little wife to inspect the shop.

"If you come back to my father-in-law, it's not like that, only the price of flour has risen too much." Mother Han shook her head, so it's so strange, it's the first time I've seen it in this life.

Mother Han's answer made Song Yu's expression gloomy, and he raised his head to signal He Shun, "Go and check to see what's tricky inside."

"Yes! Grandpa!"

He Shun, who has been with the Duke for many years, naturally knows a lot about the seriousness of this matter, so he hurried to find out without saying a word.

Song Yu, Ding Guogong, was worried about state affairs, but for An Ruoyu, she did not have to worry about state affairs, but her own small shop had to be taken care of.

But right now, the price of flour is not going up for a while, but for the whole week. No matter how many tricks she has, she can't bring down the price of flour. And all kinds of cakes and breads in Sweetheart Workshop are made of flour. Without flour, they can't make it at all. up.

Although it is not impossible to make a loss now, it is all because there are many rich people in the capital, but it is completely impossible to pay back the capital in three months as she thought before.

But if you want to earn kindness points, you can’t do without money. Although she has a huge dowry, can she still sell the dowry? In that case, she and the entire Dingguo government will be ridiculed up.

An Ruoyu got a headache. It seems that she has to find another way to make money, but what should she do?
After leaving Sweetheart Workshop, An Ruoyu was very preoccupied, and Song Yu was also hiding things in his heart, and the atmosphere became a little dull.

Just when Ah Zao was thinking about how to make the lady happy, a cheerful voice came.

"Song Yu! Song Yu! Here! Here! Look here!"

The two looked up at the same time and followed the sound, and saw Ning Xun sticking his head out of the window of a teahouse and calling them, waving his arms excitedly, like the silly son of a landlord.

"Fourth cousin! Grandpa!"

At the same time, a pleasantly surprised voice sounded from the side. It was Shen Kexuan who met the two of them by chance. She didn't expect to meet them on the street. Shen Kexuan was very pleasantly surprised.

After a while, the four of them sat together in the teahouse, looking at the somewhat detached Prince Ning, An Ruoyu really couldn't believe that he and Song Yu grew up together.

"Hey! Mrs. sister-in-law, I have admired you for a long time. I have tasted your cooking, and the taste is really amazing. It is really lucky that this ice cube can marry such a beautiful and ingenious lady like you!"

"Ning... Ning Shizi is absurdly praised." This statement is really strange. Whoever said that she An Ruoyu climbed up to Song Yu, this is the first time someone said that Song Yu had bad luck. This Ning Shizi is really In particular, two people with such a big difference in personality are actually good friends.

"Shizi Ning can really talk." Shen Kexuan looked at Ning Xun shyly with a peachy face, his eyes shining.

This is Ning Guogong's son!High position and authority, yet so handsome without being married, I heard that she doesn't even have a concubine, isn't this her ideal goal!
"Who is this?" Ning Xun looked at Shen Kexuan in doubt.

"She is……"

Without waiting for An Ruoyu's introduction, Shen Kexuan spoke impatiently, "My little girl, Shen Kexuan, is the fourth cousin's cousin. When I first came to the capital, I heard people say that Ning Shizi is very handsome, and he is also the most handsome. Today, I saw her really extraordinary."

Looking at this girl who obviously has thoughts about him, Ning Xun raised his eyebrows, "Miss Shen is too famous, Miss Shen is the one who looks like a fairy." It's a pity, he doesn't like this kind of ambitious girl. It's almost growing on him.

No longer paying attention to Shen Kexuan, Ning Xun looked at Song Yu, "You are really leisurely today, and you actually accompanied your wife to go shopping. Who said before that shopping is a waste of time."

"At this time, at that time, you will know after you get married, oh! You are not married yet." Picking up the teacup, Song Yu teased Ning Xun four or two thousand catties, but the general made him black face directly.

The corner of Ning Xun's mouth twitched, "Tsk! You are now married." You were a bachelor just like him three days ago, what a shame!

Although there is an extra Shen Kexuan who can't read the wink and always interjects to stick to Ning Xun, but overall the atmosphere is good. Although Song Yu is still deserted, An Ruoyu can tell that he is a little more towards Ning Xun as a friend Tolerance, more smiles on my face, and more words.

As for Ning Xun, he really didn't look like a prince, he was so lively and lively, even his kid Song Yuanbin couldn't compare to his composure.

But when we get along, he feels unexpectedly comfortable. His emotional intelligence is extraordinary. He is worthy of being the eldest son of the Ningguo Mansion. His appearance and personality seem harmless, but he is wrong to think so. He is as smart as a fox.

When Ning Xun ignored Song Yu's black face and suggested going to Dingguo's mansion for dinner at night, He Shun ran over panting.

"Master! Something has happened! Someone from the palace asked you to enter the palace immediately!"

"Ask what's going on?"

Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Song Yu frowned slightly. Someone coming from the palace at this time must have happened to something serious, otherwise the emperor would not have looked for him during his wedding leave.

"It rained heavily for five consecutive days in the south of the Yangtze River, and the dams of the canals in the Ancheng area collapsed!" He Shun's face was also very ugly. If the canal bursts, how many people will lose their families and die. This is a catastrophe!
"what!"

At this moment, even An Ruoyu exclaimed, how could such a thing happen!
"Isn't the canal in Ancheng allocated money to reinforce it? Why did it burst!" Ning Xun couldn't believe it. Just because of this allocation, the ministers in the court had been making a fuss for a while, and the emperor was angry. But what now...

"My worry has come true. I'm afraid that this rainstorm happened before the embankment was reinforced." Taking a deep breath, Song Yu closed his eyes and looked at An Ruoyu. He Shun will send you back, I have to go directly to the palace."

"No, I can go back by myself and let He Shun follow you. I think you will be very busy in the future, and he will come in handy. Don't worry, Ziyun will follow me."

An Ruoyu is not hypocritical, this is a big deal, and in such a backward era, how many people in Ancheng will suffer if the canal dam collapses.

"Well then, be careful. You don't have to wait for me tonight. I don't know when I will be back." After hesitating for a moment, Song Yu nodded. Indeed, He Shun on his side was also busy.

"I'll go with you!" Ning Xun stood up with a dignified expression. After such a big event happened, he didn't want to be idle, maybe the person who came to look for him was already on the way.

Just as I was thinking about this in my heart, a servant dressed in the clothes of a servant of Ningguo's mansion rushed over and met his master panting heavily, "Shi... Shizi... Gong... Gong..."

"Someone came from the palace, didn't you tell me to enter the palace, didn't you? The canal in Ancheng burst its embankment, didn't you?" Panting heavily, Ning Xun was worried for him, "Okay, I get it, let's enter the palace now .”

"Come on, don't delay."

The two men left in a hurry, leaving only An Ruoyu and Shen Kexuan silently digesting the news they just received.

An Ruoyu is in a bad mood. In such a backward era, such a flood is enough to destroy countless families. What's more, I just learned that the price of flour is so high. It is really terrible that this kind of thing happened when food is needed. ah!
"Fourth cousin, this Shizi Ning is so handsome and funny. No wonder so many women in Beijing admire him. Do you think Shizi Ning has a sweetheart? What kind of girl does he like? Do you think I have a relationship with Shizi Ning?" impossible?"

Just when An Ruoyu was upset, Shen Kexuan shyly asked him about Ning Xun's hobbies, her nympho look made her heart burst into flames .

Ancheng broke the embankment!Such a tragic thing happened, and she is still committing nympho here!
"Today is also the first time I see Ning Shizi, how do I know?"

Casting an angry look at her, An Ruoyu left with a cold face, saying nothing, not wanting to see her again.

Returning to the Duke's Mansion in a hurry, An Ruoyu asked Zisu to get the key as soon as she returned to the courtyard, and she wanted to open the warehouse to count her dowry!

On the way back, she thought it over a little bit. Now that the Ancheng Canal burst its embankment and the people were suffering, although she felt a little guilty thinking this way, it was also a good time for her to earn kindness points!
Whether it is because of selfishness or sincerity, she wants to help those affected by the disaster.

This is not the modern age, and there is no way to support one party in trouble. We are so far away that we don’t know what happened, let alone donate money and materials. She is only glad that she stands tall enough now and has the ability to do whatever she wants. and qualifications to do it.

After counting, An Ruoyu realized that she is really a rich woman!

Her dowry consisted of three parts, from Anfu, from Qiao's family, and from the emperor.

One counted one by one, and they all gave a very generous dowry. The superficial incident she was worried about did not happen, but after an inventory, the cash that could be taken out was only 7 taels of silver, and other things could not be touched. .

For her personally, this is a huge amount of wealth, but for the people affected by the disaster, this amount of money is simply a drop in the ocean, and it is nothing at all.

"Ma'am! Ma'am! I just went outside to look around, and found that the price of all the grain in the grain store has increased."

Just when she was thinking about how to get a lot of money, Ah Zao trotted over and reported the situation in a panic.

"How? Has it increased a lot?" An Ruoyu asked anxiously. After learning the news, she sent Azao to check the grain price so that she could calculate how much she could do with the money.

"It's almost doubled. It's still in the capital, and I'm afraid it will be more expensive in Ancheng." Ah Zao lost her smile. She used to be a poor people, so she naturally knows what such a disaster will do to poor people like them. such consequences.

"Not enough! Not enough!" An Ruoyu closed her eyes, feeling sad.

"Azao, who do you think will make the most money in Da Zhou?" It would be great if she could turn stones into gold, otherwise she wouldn't be poor all the time.

"Does it need to be said, of course it is the Xu family, the richest man in the Great Zhou Dynasty!" Nanny Song came in with tremella and lotus seed soup, and when she heard her question, she immediately replied reflexively.

"The Xu family?" An Ruoyu looked at Nanny Song, who was also the richest man in Da Zhou, "The Xu family is very capable?" She knew the richest man in Da Zhou, but was it very powerful?

"Of course I have the ability. When the Great Zhou was founded, the owner of the Xu family donated two-thirds of his family property to Gaozu who was not the emperor at that time. After the founding of the Great Zhou, the Xu family became the royal merchant of the Great Zhou. , and won the title of Marquis of Wealth inherited from generation to generation."

Speaking of the Xu family, Nanny Song had a lot to say, "The members of the Xu family are very good at making money. After so many years, the Xu family has been the richest man in Dazhou for hundreds of years. This is their ability."

"The Xu family is not only the richest man in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also the emperor's purse. I don't know how many good things in the palace come from the Xu family. Can you tell me if such a Xu family can not be prosperous?"

"So powerful!" An Ruoyu was stunned, temporary prosperity is not uncommon, long-term prosperity is the real skill, this Xu family can do it, the ability to make money is as high as EQ.

"Ziyun, help me check the situation of the Xu family, and see if anyone is in the capital, help me check their whereabouts."

"It's ma'am."

"Ma'am, this is..."

Nanny Song was a little puzzled, what is Madam going to do?Why check Xu's house?
"Something to do."

Looking at the white clouds in the sky outside the house, An Ruoyu's eyes were filled with anticipation, hoping that the Xu family would be as powerful as the rumors outside said, so that she might be able to get rid of the embarrassment of lack of money.

This day, An Ruoyu was always a little absent-minded. Even Song Yuanyao, who was very popular at school because of the food she had prepared, hopped around to eat and chattered in her ears, but she didn't have the energy to deal with him.

"Don't worry too much, Dad will be back soon."

It was Song Yuanbin who saw that the stepmother was a little out of her mind, and when he thought about what happened in the court today, it became clear, and he only thought that women have long hair and short knowledge, so they are so restless about such a trivial matter.

After the meal, Song Yuanbin didn't stay for long, dragging his brother who couldn't read his face, and left.

Staring blankly at the eldest son who arrogantly dragged his younger brother away, An Ruoyu suddenly laughed, and looked at Azao and the others beside him, "Is he comforting me?"

"The son is also a good boy with a cold face and a warm heart." Nanny Song smiled. She thought that the son would be the biggest problem for the wife after marrying into Dingguo's mansion, but she didn't expect that these would not be problems.

Putting her eyes on the madam who was smiling beautifully, Nanny Song sighed in her heart, after all, it is the madam who is the most powerful, able to subdue the eldest son and the sixth young master.

As Song Yu expected, he came home very late that day. At first, An Ruoyu wanted to wait for him, but the biological clock was too strong, and Song Yu came back too late, so he was too tired to doze off When people are waiting, they can only turn on the lights and go to sleep.
