As for Ms. Jiang, whom Mrs. Liu wanted to teach her a lesson, after the auction, she was first greeted by the Queen, chatted and laughed with the Crown Princess, and even called Princess Ling affectionately "sister".

The ladies who wanted to buy perfume and in-demand goods were even more affectionate towards Mrs. Jiang, and many first-class dignitaries had already invited her to visit her in person.

This made Mrs. Liu and her two aunts jealous. Among the third-class nobles like the Liu family, only Marquis Liu had real power, and he was also a military attaché guarding the border.

In the eyes of Xun Gui, it is a broken settlement.

At first, no son from the noble family was willing to marry into the Liu family, so he had to lower his status and marry a merchant woman.

Therefore, no one invited the Liu family to many banquets in the Honorable Circle. It is also Jiang who is tactful and good at doing things. In the past few years, the Liu family has gradually returned to the social circle.

It can be said that the reputation of the Liu family is better. Marquis Liu brought back a commoner's daughter from the border and gave birth to two daughters and a daughter. He also wanted to marry her as his equal wife.

Angry, Mrs. Jiang took her daughter to another courtyard. The Liu family was once again deserted, but Mrs. Liu and Marquis Liu didn't know it yet, thinking that Mrs. Jiang was a merchant girl who could be manipulated.

Old Mrs. Liu couldn't even talk to Mrs. Jiang. Even if she took out her mother-in-law's money, she wouldn't dare to do it in front of the queen, the princess and others!

However, Mrs. Jiang was not lacking in etiquette. She sent a dowry mama to entertain them and prepared gifts for everyone in the Liu family. No one can find anything wrong.

Old Mrs. Liu was so angry and depressed. After hearing the complaints from her two daughters and seeing Mrs. Xiao's timid appearance, she scolded her son for the first time:

"I don't object to you marrying an equal wife, but you can't ignore Madam Jiang and Bao'er like this! Take Madam Xiao to plead guilty to her and coax her back!"

Marquis Liu was also sulking. When had Jiang Hong met him before, he was not respectful and humble? He was just a younger brother of the Jiang family, not a younger brother. He was able to gain a foothold in Chang'an City only because of the reputation of the Liu family!

But this time, he actually treated Qiao like this. In front of so many distinguished guests, he actually dared not come to greet him!

After the auction, he was surrounded by many guests, without even looking at him.

And what about Jiang? Liu Hou sent people to invite him several times, but he was sent back all the time. He didn't even see a corner of Mrs. Jiang's clothes!

He still wanted to stay behind and wait for the Jiang siblings to be free. Today, he insisted on asking what Jiang was planning to do!

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jiang went to see off the Emperor and Queen, and then didn’t come back! He hurriedly ran to Xishan Villa, but no one came back.

After asking around again, Mrs. Lu invited the Lu family to be her guest.

No matter how impatient Liu Hou was, he didn't dare to go to Lu's house to disturb him, so he had to go back to Liu's house first to discuss the matter again.

And Mrs. Jiang, who came back from Lu Mansion, heard that Liu Hou was here today, but she heard that she was not at the house, and then she heard that Bao'er was taking a nap.

He even left without waiting for the child to wake up and see him. Before leaving, she only gave a stern order that she must go back to Liu's house.

How can this person have any place for Bao'er in his heart! This is his biological daughter!

He had never hugged or even looked at her, and when he heard that the child was born with a heart disease, he did not hide his disgust.

Mrs. Jiang looked in the direction of Liu Mansion with hatred. She must take her daughter to completely escape from this heartless man! She must make Liu Mansion pay the price!

It was approaching evening, and it was already past the time to visit the house as a guest. Shen Dongsu still brought Yue Jian to the Jiang Mansion.

When leaving the auction house, Mrs. Jiang diligently told the princess that before going to Youzhou, she must meet with her again to discuss the subsequent management of the auction house.

According to Ling Mo Xiao's schedule, she would go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow morning. Ling Mo Xiao would order troops in the morning, and she still had some time to pack her luggage.

After the palace banquet, she officially set off, so she had no time to see Mrs. Jiang except for this time in the evening.

Mrs. Jiang also knew that time was tight, so she didn't exchange much greetings, and she wouldn't bother the princess with trivial matters about the Liu family.

First report the gold and silver obtained from today's auction, after deducting the cost, labor fees, management fees and other miscellaneous expenses, and then deduct the share agreed to be given to the Jiang family.

After excluding the portion that was going to be donated to Minzhou, the final amount given to Shen Dongsu was a hundred thousand gold!

This profit was similar to what she calculated. She mentally converted the gold of this era to the money of her previous life.

Well, I accomplished two small goals at once!

The money in Chang'an is indeed very profitable! Especially with a big tree at your back and resources and connections at hand, seriously, even a pig can fly in the wind...

It's a pity that she has to leave Chang'an soon, otherwise she could earn an armored army for King Ling!

Of course, one hundred thousand gold cannot be given to her immediately. Except for wealthy businessmen who will pay cash immediately, nobles and nobles will collect their bills monthly when buying things.

Mrs. Jiang said that the cash she could give her was 10,000 gold, which was already prepared and would be delivered to Prince Ling’s Mansion immediately.

Even so, it was beyond Shen Dongsu's expectation. The Jiang family was indeed extremely wealthy!

The remaining 90,000 gold will be sent to Youzhou for her on a monthly basis, but Shen Dongsu feels that this is extremely inappropriate. Whether it is gold or silver, it will be dead if placed in the warehouse.

Only by being active and making money can the long-term solution be achieved.

Ms. Jiang was surprised. She did not expect that Princess Ling would not be complacent or lost in the face of such a huge sum of money.

Who said Princess Ling was a peasant girl? Which farm girl can have such ability and magnanimity?

Shen Dongsu asked her what kind of property the Jiang family had in the capital? See if I can find some inspiration, and found out that the Jiang family's business in Chang'an is a very ordinary industry.

In other words, it is an industry where Xun Gui makes a small profit, and the only money she makes is the few buildings she is married to.

After all, in Chang'an City, just renting a shop is a huge sum of money, and there is no way to rent it.

Jiang's words were cryptic, but Shen Dongsu could tell. Even she couldn't get involved in the Jiang family's current business.

Ms. Jiang is a married woman with a father and an older brother at home, so she cannot get involved in the family business either.

Shen Dongsu lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then asked Jiang a few industry questions, and then she discovered a huge market gap.

An industry chain that has not yet matured in this era is real estate!

There is no one specializing in real estate business these days, especially most of the houses in Chang'an City belong to the imperial court.

Less than half are private, some are for sale, and most are for rent. The price for sale is extremely expensive, and land is even harder to buy.

But this expensive price is naturally not a problem for Shen Dongsu and Jiang now.

They are not contaminated with the Imperial City District and the Eastern District where nobles and nobles live, and the Southern District where wealthy businessmen and petty officials live. But the North and West districts, where ordinary people live, can do something about it.

Shen Dongsu directly said that he could buy an area of ​​civilian housing, especially the West District, which is known to be poor in the north and low in the West. He could purchase an area bordering the South District and then plan to build it into a community-style single-family building.

It's not like a big house with three or five entrances and a big yard like a big house, but a single-family house with a small yard. The whole community has its own attractions, and the roads are smoother.

This kind of house is definitely loved by small officials, wealthy businessmen, and small aristocrats. In any capital city, there is a saying that "living in a big city is not easy."

Many officials rented public houses from the imperial court and had to save half their lives to afford their own house. The problem of high housing prices is the same in ancient and modern times.

She told Ms. Jiang about the new industry of 'real estate' in detail. Ms. Jiang was very excited when she heard it, and she intuitively felt that this would be a disruptive industry.

What was linked to real estate was the bank. Then Shen Dongsu found out that the Jiang family also had a bank!

These days, anyone can open a bank, but the model of a bank is far from that of later banks, and it can only be regarded as the prototype of a bank.

After hearing the end, Mrs. Jiang's excitement gradually turned into fear. She always felt that this business was really big, and it was no longer a simple business, but was linked to the country.

She hurriedly asked: "Princess, does the prince know about this?"

Shen Dongsu shook his head: "It's just what I just thought of."

Mrs. Jiang was suddenly excited, she just thought of it!

Did he think of this new industry after seeing the gold and silver earned at the auction?

The way she looked at Shen Dongsu turned into admiration and admiration. If the princess were a man, she would definitely achieve great things.

She really wanted all the ladies in Chang'an City to listen. Don't believe the rumors. Princess Ling is really not an ignorant country girl!

Prince Ling did not marry a village girl from the countryside. He clearly dug a piece of jade from the countryside!

Others said that King Ling had been ill for those years and became stupid due to illness, and Li Linyu was so angry that he beat himself up.

Li Linyu broke off the engagement with him and married the prince as his concubine. King Ling simply gave up marrying a noble girl and married a peasant girl from the lowest commoner.

The broken jar was broken.

Some people also say that King Ling believed the words of the alchemists and believed in the theory of fate. His fate was miserable, so he married a woman who had a bad fate for a while, and then he chose this little peasant girl.

If they knew that Princess Ling's intelligence, not to mention compared with Li Linyu, even compared with the noble ladies from all over Chang'an City, she would not show any mercy.

I wonder if your jaw will drop?

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly said: "Princess, I think you can tell the prince first that it is really difficult for ordinary people to get involved in the real estate and banking business."

"If the prince agrees, I am willing to serve the princess. The princess will definitely start this business while she is in Youzhou."

Shen Dongsu wanted to say, no need to ask, Ling Moxiao would definitely support her!

You are also afraid that Mrs. Jiang will think that she is 'showing affection' and that someone will separate from her husband. If you show that your husband supports you in everything, aren't you stabbing someone in the heart?

Then he nodded and said: "Okay! I will send someone to give you the confirmation letter tomorrow morning."

After talking about business, Shen Dongsu took Bao'er's pulse again. Seeing that the little girl had gained some fat on her face recently and her chin was rounded, she hugged Bao'er lovingly and couldn't stop praising her.

Ask her carefully what she likes to eat? How many hours do you sleep every day? How much exercise do you do every day?

Ms. Jiang's eyes were wet at the side. Even the princess, an outsider, loved Bao'er so much, but her biological father actually passed by the house without even looking at Bao'er.

After returning to Prince Ling's Mansion, Shen Dongsu first moved the boxes of gold he brought back from the Jiang Mansion to the table. He opened the boxes one by one for Ling Mo Xiao to see, just like opening gift boxes.

He held his neck proudly, like a child who had perfect scores in school and was waiting for praise from adults.

Ling Mo Xiao felt that the little girl's eyes were shining at this moment, no, her whole body was shining.

He used to think that she was a village fan, but later he gradually understood that she did not love money, but just enjoyed the process of making money.

She also enjoys the benefits that making money brings to her family. In the past, she must have looked forward to the praises of Grandpa Shen and Father Shen.

But now, it turns into looking forward to his praise.

So, in her heart, is this king already a family member?

Ling Mo Xiao felt that this made him happier than the ten thousand gold.

He rubbed Shen Dongsu's forehead in praise: "My wife is really amazing!"

Shen Dongsu was even more proud: "All this gold will be used as military expenses for you! No matter how much the queen and the prince try to embezzle and embarrass them, we have money and we are not afraid."

Then she told Ling Mo Xiao about the real estate and banking business in detail, and she didn't stop talking until dinner.

Ling Moxiao understood it quickly, and after thinking for a moment, he told her that the real estate business could be done, and that she should buy more land from the beginning.

Because even if the Jiang family only builds a community, other nobles will come to get involved in this business.

But the 'down payment' model that the bank told her about buying a house is not available for the time being. Ling Moxiao said it cryptically. He was not in the capital, and the Jiang family alone could not do such a big business.

When they return to Chang'an City and he lives in Chang'an permanently, he will start banking business.

Shen Dongsu naturally understood. Although Ling Moxiao was the prince, he was hampered in every way. The next time he returned to Chang'an, the crown prince's queen would naturally fall.

Once he had real power, or in other words, he ascended to a high position, he could do any business at that time, let alone banking business.

Shen Dongsu nodded and smiled: "I'm too impatient. I can't become fat in one bite. The real estate business alone is enough for me and Mr. Jiang to struggle for several years."

She and Ling Moxiao barely slept that night. Ling Moxiao summoned his subordinates to discuss matters, while she spent the night writing a plan for the real estate industry.

She also drew several community concept drawings and house design drawings. When she went to Youzhou, communication with Mr. Jiang depended on letters, and it took a month to exchange a letter, which was too troublesome.

Now that she has written the plan, she will write it in more detail. Jiang will have a reference when encountering problems in the future.

She was busy until the rooster crowed, and then she sealed a thick stack of planning books and gave them to Yue Jian to deliver them to Jiang at dawn.

I just packed up and took a nap. At dawn, I had to go to the palace to see the emperor. I had to be very energetic. It was impossible not to sleep.

I don’t know whether it’s because she made too much money from the auction, or because she couldn’t afford a house in her previous life, but she is about to become a leader in the real estate industry in this life.

Or maybe it was because she was about to leave Chang'an and no longer had to worry about the persecution of the queen and the princelings. When she went to Youzhou, she would be freer than in Guangzhou.

Anyway, she was very excited and her brain was extremely active. She was obviously very tired, but she just couldn't fall asleep.

Another reason she was embarrassed to say was that she wasn't used to Ling Moxiao not being around.

Anyway, she closed her eyes and rested her mind. Until daybreak, when Aunt Ji came to wake her up and change clothes, she felt that she had never fallen asleep.

After just putting on the formal attire for entering the palace, Yue Jian went to Jiang Mansion to deliver the plan, and Ling Mo Xiao also came back to change clothes.

At this moment, Yue Jian ran into the backyard with a panicked expression:

"The prince and the princess are in trouble. People from Dali Temple are coming to arrest the princess! They will enter the palace soon."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked. Shen Dongsu looked at King Ling uneasily, but saw that King Ling was very calm:

"What's the matter?"

Yue Jian said anxiously: "I don't know the specifics. I only heard the word 'witch doctor'."
