Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

Li Gao was so happy that he did not hide the truth from Liu Ying: "I have indeed found a way. I should be able to make a lot of money this time. Then we will have enough money to buy a bigger house."

Liu Ying turned around in the dark. Her uncle also wanted to sell the cotton in the north.

He had collected a batch of low-quality cotton, but had not found a way to sell it. He had come to her several times and asked her for help. This was a good opportunity: "How much did you spend on this cotton?"

"Adding up, there are several hundred taels. If I sell it to the north, I can make several thousand taels." Li Gao couldn't stop smiling.

"I also have a batch of cotton, the price is very cheap, you can take it all from me."

Li Gao looked at Liu Ying and said, "You also want to sell cotton."

"Now, all the businessmen in Beijing want to sell cotton in the north, but the journey to the north is long and there are unknown risks along the way. Ordinary people can't do this business at all. Now that you have found a way, let me also benefit from it."

Li Gao did not refuse, since he still had to collect cotton everywhere: "Send the cotton you collected here tomorrow, and I will give it to you at the market price."

Liu Ying was so happy that she almost jumped up. This time she could make a small sum of money from it.

The next day I went to my uncle's house and told him the good news.

Chen Wei couldn't believe it. He overheard that this winter in the north was particularly cold and there was a shortage of cotton.

Many merchants in the capital city sold cotton in the north and made a lot of money.

Hearing the news, he was extremely excited and eagerly purchased a batch of low-quality cotton, intending to sell it to the north, but he found that he had no way to do so.

I couldn't transport the cotton to the north, and I thought I would lose the cotton. But unexpectedly, there was a turnaround: "You really found a way to sell my cotton in the north."

"I didn't find the door. It was Li Gao. Now he goes out every day to collect cotton from villagers' homes."

Chen Wei walked around the room excitedly: "Okay, whether my uncle can have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life depends on you."

"Hurry up and get the cotton ready and send it to Li's house."

Chen Wei came to the utility room in the backyard. The room was filled with low-quality cotton in order to avoid being discovered.

He spread a good layer on top, moved all the cotton onto the carriage, and followed Liu Ying to Li's house.

I ran into Li Gao who just came back from outside.

Chen Wei nodded and stood beside Li Gao: "Thank you for helping me, otherwise this batch of cotton would be wasted."

"We are all family, no need to be so polite." Li Gao was still cautious and went forward to check the cotton in the carriage.

Chen Wei was standing there, very nervous, afraid that Li Gao would discover the inferior cotton inside. But when he saw that he only checked the outside, he was completely relieved.

After the inspection, Li Gao asked Chen Wei to move the cotton to the backyard of the mansion.

……

During the past half month, Li Gao was busy outside every day and finally received more than a thousand kilograms of cotton.

Came to Liu Mansion and told Liu Chen the news.

Liu Chen looked at the cotton on the carriage, as if she saw the silver waving at her, and she was very excited: "Brother Li, thank you for your hard work."

“It’s always hard to make money.”

Liu Chen didn't waste any more time. He led Li Gao and the cotton to the shop in the Prince's Mansion.

The person in charge saw Liu Chen and stepped forward to greet him with a smile: "The cotton has been harvested."

"Well, I had limited money, so I collected more than a thousand kilograms of cotton."

The manager walked around the carriage and checked the cotton. The cotton was fluffy and soft, not top quality, but not bad either. He then asked the shop assistant to pull the cotton from the carriage to the warehouse in the backyard.

He turned around and said to Liu Chen: "You only need to sell the cotton before I can give it to you. During this time, you just wait at home."

Liu Chen smiled and nodded.

After seeing Liu Chen and the others off, the person in charge went to the Prince's Mansion and reported the matter to the Princess.

He Shulan was very relieved to see the boss doing his job: "I understand, thank you for your hard work."

……

Liu Chen was in high spirits these days. Even the simple meals he ate back home could not dampen his joyful mood.

Aunt Mei smiled and asked, "Would the Princess be willing to help you sell the cotton in the north?"

"You guessed it right. Fortunately, I listened to you and went to see the Princess in person. Otherwise, I would definitely not have earned the money." Liu Chen pulled Aunt Mei to sit beside him: "When I earn money, I will buy you beautiful jewelry."

Aunt Mei smiled and nodded.

……

He Shuzhen still found out that Liu Chen went to the Prince's Mansion to find He Shulan without telling her.

She found Liu Chen angrily and scolded him, "What's wrong with you? I told you that He Shulan and I have a bad relationship. I didn't allow you to go to her house to ask for help. Why did you go?"

Liu Chen frowned unhappily: "How did you know about this?"

"There are so many servants in the Prince's Mansion. If you go to He Shulan openly, the news will naturally spread soon."

Liu Chen didn't want to pay attention to He Shuzhen. He didn't know what was going on in her mind. The opportunity to make money was right in front of her. He didn't know why she was so resistant: "I didn't ask you to go. I went to the Prince's Mansion in person. If I lose, it's my face."

He Shuzhen's voice became louder: "What's the difference between you going and me going? If you do this, I will be inferior to He Shulan."

Liu Chen felt that He Shuzhen was a flower that grew up in a greenhouse: "If you want to make money, you have to bend down, instead of letting others look at your face."

"I don't want to make this money, and you are not allowed to make it either. Take back the cotton immediately."

Liu Chen replied: "It's too late. The shop owner has already taken the cotton away and will soon be transporting it to the north with the caravan."

He Shuzhen's face turned red with anger. She ignored Liu Chen and hurried to the Prince's Mansion.

The servant guarding the gate stopped him and asked: "Did you send a visiting card?"

"Why send a visiting card? I'm He Shulan's sister. Please let me in."

"That won't work." The servant knew He Shuzhen's identity and still refused to let her go: "The Prince's Mansion has strict rules. I need to go in and report. Please wait at the door for a while."

He Shuzhen really wanted to rush into the Prince's Mansion, but when she thought about the large number of soldiers there, she could only suppress her anger and wait at the door.

The servant came to He Shulan's yard and said, "Princess, Madam Liu is here to see you."

He Shulan's lips curled slightly. He Shuzhen must have come to her house at this time because of the cotton matter: "Tell her that I am not feeling well and it is inconvenient for me to see her."

The servant didn't know why He Shulan pretended to be sick, but he didn't ask any more questions. He walked to the gate and told He Shuzhen what He Shulan said.

This made He Shuzhen angry and she yelled, "He Shulan, I know why you helped Liu Chen. You just wanted me to be inferior to you. I tell you, that's absolutely impossible."
