Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 703 Making Money

After Gu Qianhan went to the main courtyard and made some noise, the entire Duke's Mansion became peaceful.

Mrs. Gu never mentioned the housekeeper's matter again, and Shen Wantang was nonchalant when he went to pay his respects every day, as if what happened before had never happened.

Meng Yunlan also looked friendly and chatted with Shen Wantang as before when they met in the main courtyard.

Everything was harmonious, only the doctors who were constantly invited into the mansion exposed Meng Yunlan's increasingly serious anxiety.

One day, after Shen Wantang had paid her respects and returned to her own courtyard, she heard Qin Xin say, "Young Madam, Yulu Courtyard has called in another doctor. This time, they say he's a miracle doctor from the Western Regions who can treat any difficult or complicated illness!"

Shen Wantang nodded calmly: "How many times this month is this?"

"It's the twelfth one!"

"Oh, she's already invited twelve! It seems like she's really anxious!"

Qin Xin whispered, "Young Madam, isn't that strange? I heard that before you came in, the eldest young lady only hired a doctor once or twice a month at most. How come after you came in, she hired more than ten or twenty doctors a month?"

Of course Shen Wantang knew the reason, but she didn't say anything.

Nanny Yan on the side spoke up, "The eldest young master's wife had been married for five years and still hadn't gotten pregnant. Naturally, she was anxious, and so was the wife. However, the second young master's wife hadn't married at that time, so even if they were anxious, it wasn't that much."

"After all, the eldest young lady is still young, and the imperial physician also said that it's not that she can't have children, but she just has a severe cold. As long as the cold is driven away, she will be fine."

"I didn't expect that after five years, the coldness in the eldest young lady's body still hasn't been eliminated, and she still can't get pregnant."

"It doesn't matter if she can't get pregnant. She's just afraid that our young mistress will get pregnant before her and give birth to the Duke's eldest grandson."

By the end, Nanny Yan's voice had dropped very low: "Not only is she afraid, but Madam is afraid too, and even Madam Meng is afraid too. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to our Duke's Mansion in person to persuade Madam to hand over the housekeeping power to our Young Madam."

"The power of stewardship in the harem is so important, yet the eldest young lady would rather give it up than not get pregnant. This shows that having children is the foundation for a woman to gain a foothold in the harem."

Shen Wantang smiled softly: "Mammy, are you trying to persuade me to get pregnant quickly?"

A hint of a smile appeared on Nanny Yan's usually serious and rigid face. "Young Madam, if I had another master, I might advise you in the same way, but you are different from others. I feel that you don't need to use children to consolidate your position."

"Firstly, the Second Young Master has an extraordinary bond with you. Secondly, you are a capable person yourself. You can live well with or without children. Of course, I still hope that you and the Second Young Master can have a little boy and a little girl. That would make things more lively."

Shen Wantang was a little absent-minded.

child?

She had never thought about it before, and even now, what was more important now was to survive.

So she has been taking the contraceptive pills she made herself.

A few days ago, Gu Qianhan found out that she was taking this pill. After asking about its effect, he refused to let her take it and said that he would take it himself.

She actually made some for him these days.

The two of them had very similar ideas on this matter. They must not get pregnant before the big thing was done, otherwise it would only harm the child.

Du Juan came in holding a box. "Madam, my cousin has sent a new account book. He sent someone to say that the new materials in the shop are almost sold out, and he wants you to choose new materials and patterns!"

Shen Wantang perked up, his eyes sparkling: "The goods are selling so fast?"

How come business is even more booming than in the previous life? Isn't this going to make a fortune?

Du Juan's face was full of smiles. "It was your way of creating hype in your shop last time that inspired my cousin. My cousin is now very good at creating hype when selling goods! Your shop has become the most fashionable shop in the capital. As long as they say that the materials were bought from your Jinxiu Pavilion, they will be proud!"

Shen Wantang's eyes curved with laughter. She had indeed used Liu Nanshi to build momentum before, but she didn't expect that Liu Nanshi's reputation was ruined now, but her Jinxiu Pavilion was famous!

"Quick, bring me the account book!"

By the time she finished reading the account book, she was stunned.

The sales speed in this life is more than ten times higher than that in the previous life!

She suddenly realized that with Jinxiu Pavilion's current fame and number of customers, the previously planned purchase quantity was far from enough.

She should abandon the inherent impressions and experiences of her previous life and re-evaluate the capabilities of Jinxiu Pavilion based on the current actual situation.

She stood up excitedly: "Change my clothes! Let's go to the shop!"

"Yes!"

After changing clothes, Shen Wantang went out with her maid.

When she arrived at Jinxiu Pavilion, she saw the bustling crowd and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

She went up to the second floor and entered the private room.

After a while, Jiang Yan came in with his men carrying a large pile of clothes.

His face was full of excitement: "I didn't expect my cousin to come so quickly. It's just right. These materials don't have to be sent to your house. Come and see what we can buy this time!"

Shen Wantang stood up to select the materials. Jiang Yan said excitedly beside her, "Cousin, let me tell you, our business has grown so big that we can get the lowest purchase price and even the first batch of goods. I guarantee that we will be the only one selling them in the whole capital. No one else can buy them!"

"By the way, the capital's largest embroidery shop, Baixiuyuan, is looking for cooperation with us. We have the most and best materials, and they have the most and best embroiderers. What do you think, do you want to cooperate?"

"And, we can even borrow large sums of money from banks at very low interest rates to finance our purchases! Our business is booming, and the banks are jealous. They all want to work with us!"

"But don't worry, cousin. I didn't agree to anything until you nodded! You said we don't do a one-time deal, we want to build a good reputation!"

Shen Wantang looked at the material while listening to Jiang Yan's incessant talk. After he finished speaking, she spoke clearly:

"Our Jinxiu Pavilion is a cloth shop, and we've been in need of good embroiderers to showcase our ready-made garments. We've always hired people to do this, but the cost is too high and the process is very slow. Cooperating with an embroidery shop will save us time and money, and it can also further enhance our reputation. This is a good idea."

"However, since this is a collaboration, Baixiuyuan must benefit. Cousin, you can make some concessions in terms of supply and price."

"Then there's the money houses. We have enough money now, so we don't need to borrow any for the time being. But cousin, try to build good relationships with them first. Who knows, they might be of use later."

"Because I'm planning to expand across the board! We can open branches of Jinxiu Pavilion all over Dafeng, and let them flourish everywhere!"
