Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 245 Show off wealth

The lady's daughter hid the contempt in her eyes and said with a smile, "So what do you like to do on weekdays? You actually get along well with the young ladies and young masters of the He family.

How did you do it? Tell us quickly and satisfy our curiosity."

If Song Sanniang still can't see the malicious intent of these people at this time, then she is really stupid.

She said casually, "How did I do it? Because I'm quite capable.

I have cooperated with the He family to open more than 30 Tian Mi Mi restaurants. We make a little money every day. It is mutually beneficial.

Of course, I can't compare with you. You must have many more stores under your name than an ordinary person like me." After saying this, she smiled at everyone as if she was a little embarrassed.

Then she thought for a moment and said in a helpless tone, "What do I do at home all day? I'm too busy. I'm busy counting the accounts in the store every day, calculating how much money these stores can make.

In my spare time, I like to travel around. After all, I have a little money. If I don’t spend it, it would seem unfair to me for all the hard work I put into looking at the account book every day.

You know, my eyes are dazzled. I heard that you all want to learn how to manage the household. You must know how annoying it is to manage the accounts."

After Song Sanniang finished speaking, she looked at everyone wearing jewels and said with a smile, "I don't like to dress up, so gold and silver jewelry are just external things to me."

After saying this, she paused and said mysteriously, "

Oh, let me tell you a secret. If I talk about what I like to do, does doing good deeds count? The money I spent on a gold bracelet could support ten orphans.

I have helped many old, weak, sick, orphans and widows. If I buy less gold and silver jewelry, they can have enough food, water and clothes.

You must have done good deeds, and you must know the happiness you feel after doing good deeds. "

After she finished speaking, she looked straight at the lady who asked the question, and then looked around at the girls who were surrounding her. She saw that they were either speechless or hesitant.

They were all shocked by Song Sanniang's words. They saw that although Song Sanniang was wearing fine fabrics, she had no makeup on and had few gold and silver jewelry on her body.

When he heard her say that her family was just a common family, he felt that she was not even as good as his own maid.

Moreover, some ladies from wealthy families in the capital who often went to Tian Mi Mi knew Song Sanniang, but she was rarely at Tian Mi Mi in the county town, so the ladies in the county town didn't know her.

Everyone knows about Tian Mi Mi. Although everyone likes to eat it, many people don’t know that it was jointly opened by Song Sanniang and the He family.

She actually opened more than 30 stores. When everyone thought about what she said and their own pitiful monthly salary, they suddenly didn't know why they were laughing at her.

Seeing that no one was talking, Song Sanniang pretended to be curious and asked, "What do you like to do at home? Don't you like reading, writing, playing the piano, painting, or doing needlework?"

Oh, that's too boring. Come do good deeds with me. You should know Pink House, which I opened with a partner.

Those of you who can write and draw can go to the Pink House to teach the children.

Let them learn some skills from you, so that they can earn their own living when they grow up.

Of course, if you don't like it, you can also pick out some more gadgets that you like.

Those of you who have been there know that when you buy something, our store will donate some of your money to people in need.”

A woman exclaimed, "You own the Pink House too?"

Song Sanniang smiled and nodded, "Yes, isn't this to help more people? Is the stuff inside okay? Do you like it? If there is anything we need to improve, please feel free to give us more suggestions."

For a moment, everyone looked at Song Sanniang with complicated eyes.

Pink House has become a rising star in recent years, and everyone has witnessed it. It has a wide range of women's items, from rouge and powder to clothes and jewelry, various embroidery, exquisite and elegant toys, etc.

There are people in the store who specialize in makeup and dressing for customers, and there are even female doctors who can help diagnose and treat some female diseases. Girls and ladies with a little spare money have been to the Pink House.

No one had asked about the owner, and they didn't expect that this person who everyone looked down on was actually the owner of Pink House. Everyone was hit by her words again.

Who doesn’t know about the popularity of Pink House? It has crowds of customers every day, and new products arrive every now and then. Everyone can always find what they like. Who wouldn’t like to go shopping there?

Song Sanniang looked at everyone with a smile, then drank her tea slowly.

Some people's attitude towards her obviously improved, and some were very curious about her and asked her all kinds of questions.

Of course, there were still quite a few people who were still unable to accept such a powerless daughter of a commoner after being shocked. Some people also disliked her even more because she was a merchant and was in the spotlight all day long.

But Song Sanniang didn't care. She just wanted to show off her wealth in front of these famous ladies.

She knew too well how deep the inner waters of these aristocratic families were. In a large family, there were many brothers and sisters, and it was impossible for the elders to treat everyone equally.

So some people get more from their elders, and some get less, and this is from the previous generation.

When it comes to these young ladies' generation, their parents may not necessarily get much wealth from their elders.

Their parents have many children, and here men are favored over women, so women can get even less.

It also depends on the power and status of the family, and the rank of the official in the family.

Because some families may look good on the surface, but in reality they have been unable to make ends meet and may even have to rely on selling their ancestral property to make ends meet.

In addition, the general expenses of officials are extremely high. They have to pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation. In addition, they have a large number of servants at home, as well as many wives and concubines. Some families have a large number of illegitimate sons and daughters.

At that time, there was still a tradition that parents would not divide up the family, and three generations of the family would live together. There were many people fighting fiercely for petty gains.

You have to know why the imperial examination is so important, because official positions are fixed, there are only so many positions in total,

If you want to sit in this position, besides having connections, you must first be qualified. Only if you pass the exam and have a good reputation, you will be eligible to fight for this position. After becoming an official, money will come naturally.

This is why the aristocratic families force their children to study no matter how useless they are. It is also the reason why it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the court.

Therefore, the officialdom is a big melting pot, a complex network of relationships, and these girls in the inner house are part of this network.

The elders use them to form marriage alliances and then obtain the resources they want. Of course, they may also enjoy some of the conveniences, but they may also sacrifice the rest of their lives.

So she clearly told these girls who looked down on her that she lived a better life than them, that she had everything in her own hands, and that she could do whatever she wanted, but they couldn't.
