Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.
Chapter 385 The Silver Mine Offered by Ji Xinglan's Maternal Grandfather
Hearing his little girl say that, Yun Huaikang's smile deepened. He picked up Yun Shengsheng, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "Speaking of this, we have to thank our daughter."
"If you hadn't suggested to His Highness the Crown Prince that officials' annual salaries be changed to monthly salaries, how could your father be receiving money at this time?"
Yun Shengsheng blinked, then remembered that she had indeed mentioned this matter to Yan Shijin.
Unexpectedly, Yan Shijin actually listened to his advice.
Yun Huaikang continued, "Now, the officials in the court, especially those with lower ranks and no family business, are very grateful to you for the suggestion made by my youngest daughter."
"Otherwise, if you were suddenly granted the title of Princess, no one would object, and everyone would applaud and cheer."
"You don't know, many of those officials below the fifth rank were ordinary candidates who passed the imperial examinations. Their families didn't have much savings, and they usually lived in rented houses."
"Their salaries are only paid once a year, and they usually have to rely on loans to make ends meet. They then pay off their debts after receiving their paychecks at the end of the year."
"But with interest compounding, by the end of the year, the money has to be repaid before it's even warmed up. So many officials end up living in even more poverty than when they were scholars."
"As soon as you made your suggestion, they started receiving income every month, which solved everyone's immediate problem."
Yun Huaikang laughed again as he said this.
Of course, he owns a shop and doesn't rely on a salary for his livelihood. But he was still happy for everyone.
Yun Shengsheng felt a little embarrassed after being praised by her father.
Yun Huaikang couldn't help but praise another thing.
"My youngest daughter has such a discerning eye; she found such a capable manager as Madam Qiu. Our shop's income has increased again!"
Yun Shengsheng nodded with a smile; she agreed with this.
Qiu Xiyao has only been in the capital for three or four months, but she has already managed all the shops under her name in an orderly manner, and her business has expanded considerably.
Having come from a century-old family business, she had her own unique way of managing the shop, and even the old shopkeepers respected her.
Yun Shengsheng was so happy that he directly raised Qiu Xiyao's annual salary from one hundred taels to five hundred taels.
Qiu Xiyao was so excited that her eyes welled up with tears. Upon hearing this, she immediately bought a two-courtyard house and moved in with Mo Xin.
Yun Shengsheng went back and took a nap. In the afternoon, she called Fuxing and Fuzhao, prepared a carriage, and headed to South Street.
She went to Jinxiu Fragrance first.
There's always a long queue in front of this shop.
As soon as Yun Shengsheng jumped off the carriage, the people in line immediately looked at her warily. Once someone recognized her, the whispers around her instantly turned into shouts of greeting: "Greetings, Your Highness Princess Jinrong!"
Yun Shengsheng smiled and waved her hand, indicating that everyone didn't need to be so polite.
As soon as I stepped inside, I ran into Princess Yongjia.
Princess Yongjia's eyes lit up with surprise: "Sheng Sheng! Are you taking the day off today?"
Yun Shengsheng laughed happily, "Yes, yes, I just had a day off today!"
Without a word, Princess Yongjia grabbed her hand and pulled her outside: "Come on, come with me. I was just worried about who could help me with my advice, and you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep!"
Yun Shengsheng was completely confused. Before she could ask, Princess Yongjia pulled her into her carriage.
Once the carriage started moving, the two chatted inside, and she learned that the Grand Princess had remarried.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month this year, she married Qiao Si, the youngest son of the Imperial Observatory Director. The two even moved out of the princess's residence and into Qiao Si's residence.
The two were inseparable and lived a very good life.
The Grand Princess's residence has now become the territory of Princess Yongjia and her brother.
Yun Shengsheng's mouth dropped open when she heard this.
She remembered Qiao Si; she was indeed exceptionally beautiful.
Most importantly, he was truly devoted to the Grand Princess.
The Grand Princess had a rough first half of her life, but this time she finally found a good match. Yun Shengsheng silently gave her a thumbs up in her heart.
However, the matter that Princess Yongjia is currently in a hurry to handle is related to her older sister, Princess Yongning.
Because Princess Yongning is getting married on the fifteenth of next month.
The object of his affections was Zhao Qianzhan, the son of the Minister of Revenue.
The marriage was arranged two years ago; they are a perfect match, both in terms of social standing and appearance.
Princess Yongjia was in a great hurry to pull Yun Shengsheng along, just to help her sister, Princess Yongning, buy things.
Princess Yongning's dowry has actually been prepared since she was a child, and it is almost complete now.
But it's still missing some of the most fashionable jewelry and accessories, which are used to "add to the look".
The Grand Princess saw that Princess Yongjia had already opened her own shop and was managing household affairs; she was no longer the naive little girl she once was. So she arranged for her to help with purchasing.
Princess Yongjia cunningly captured Yun Shengsheng to be a conscript.
Yun Shengsheng and Princess Yongjia already had a good relationship, especially since it was such a joyous occasion. So she happily offered her help.
Princess Yongjia pulled Yun Shengsheng along and first went to the largest jewelry shop in the city.
The shopkeeper personally greeted them and led them to a private room on the second floor.
As soon as the tea and snacks were served, the shopkeeper smiled and ordered someone to bring out twelve sets of headdresses, which were then lined up in a row.
"This is Master Kang's new work this year. It is themed around the Twelve Blessed Immortals. Each set corresponds to a different kind of blessing. It has a good meaning and is unique. There is only one set like this in the entire capital."
Yun Shengsheng was still carefully admiring the headdresses, thinking about which set would suit Princess Yongning best.
Princess Yongjia, standing nearby, waved her hand dismissively: "Alright, I'll take them all!"
Yun Shengsheng: "..."
Next, they went to several more shops.
Princess Yongjia would readily spend money on anything that was nice, fashionable, or had a good meaning.
"I'll take it all!"
Yun Shengsheng: "..."
[What a nouveau riche! He didn't even look at the price, just went by gut feeling. He bought everything!]
[Then what's the point of bringing her here? Just to admire her extravagant spending?]
The two spent three whole days shopping, and Princess Yongjia practically bought up all the good things in the capital.
In the evening, as the two were preparing to have dinner at the restaurant, they ran into Yan Shijin and his entourage.
Seeing that they were all on the same side, Yun Shengsheng and Princess Yongjia didn't stand on ceremony and joined them at the same table.
Before the food and drinks were served, everyone started talking about the silver mine that Ji Xinglan's maternal grandfather's family had donated.
Yan Shijin's study companion, Li Yanting, excitedly said, "That silver mine is right in the Huaicheng Mountains, which we just conquered..."
