A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Only then did Su Qingyu understand what the old lady meant.

Her second uncle Su Chengyan is now serving as the fourth-rank commander of the Qianzhou Guard. Her second aunt and her children are also with her in office. The mountains are high and the roads are long, so they can't come back for the New Year.

She also has a third uncle from a concubine named Su Chengxun, who is now the fourth-rank prefect of Suzhou.

In her previous life, Old Madam Shen never mentioned this, and for the next three years, my second uncle stayed in Qianzhou and was not transferred back to the capital.

But there was one thing she always remembered.

Two years after her marriage in her previous life, her grandmother celebrated her sixtieth birthday. The second uncle and the third uncle are back, and they bring the whole family with them.

The second uncle kept saying that the Shen family was lonely, and complained that she did not add much help to the family. Third uncle, on the other hand, asked her twice in private whether she was doing well and whether the Shen family treated her well. Before leaving, the third uncle specifically told him to send him a message if there was any difficulty.

Su Qingyu's lowered eyebrows suddenly had an idea, she raised her head and said with a smile: "I remember, I will find a chance to tell Mrs. Shen."

After leaving Songhe Hall and heading towards Bishui Pavilion, they unexpectedly met Gu Ruoyun.

"The eldest lady is back. I heard that rotten vegetable leaves and eggs were thrown on the ground at the entrance of Su's Food Store. How good is this? Is this good business going to close down?"

Su Qingyu looked at Gu Ruoyun with an inexplicable expression and said, "This is just the beginning. Tomorrow I will open the door and sell five taels of silver per stone. One stone sells for two taels of silver more than today. Do you know how much silver my grain storage is?"

"What's the point of throwing some vegetables and eggs? I don't need to clean them."

After saying that, Su Qingyu left with her head raised.

Gu Ruoyun narrowed his eyes, five taels of silver? Then how much less will their shop sell today?

Thinking of this, Gu Ruoyun immediately told the maid Lu Ru, "Go and tell Zhou Buren that we won't sell it today. Then ask other people how much they will sell tomorrow. If they all sell five taels tomorrow, we will also sell five taels."

In the evening, Lin Wenbai had someone deliver a letter. It contained only four words: Everything is going well.

Early the next morning, Su Qingyu went to the shop early. Just like yesterday, there were long queues at the entrance of all grain stores in the capital.

When the hour comes, all the shops open together.

The listed price of Zhou's Grain Store is five taels of silver per stone, while the listed prices of Su's Grain Store, Lin's Grain Store, and other medium-sized and above-sized grain stores in the capital are all one to two five cents of silver per stone.

For a time, the door of Su's Grain Store was bustling with people, and people were asking why it was only one, two, five, and one stone?

Lin Sheng raised his voice at the door and explained: "Today, the Jingzhong Grain Store has a rule. If you buy grain with your household registration, you can buy grain at one, two, five, and one stone, but each household can buy up to two stones."

When someone heard that they wanted to get their household registration, they hurriedly asked: "What if we don't have enough food for two shi? Can't we buy more? If I buy two shi from you with my household registration, can I buy it elsewhere?"

Lin Sheng said: "Two shi of food is enough for most people to eat for a month. By the end of the month, the food from Jiangnan will be shipped here. No matter where you go to buy it with your household registration, there will be a seal on the back of the household registration. If you buy two shi, you can't Bought elsewhere.”

Some people who had smashed Su's shop yesterday said with embarrassment: "Shopkeeper Lin, I'm really sorry. I misunderstood you yesterday."

Lin Sheng said with a smile: "You have also been deceived. Our Su's Grain Store has been an old shop for more than 20 years. You can rest assured that the rice is good and the price is fair."

After everyone understood what was going on, they all went home to get their household registration and queued up nearby to buy rice. Compared to yesterday's chaos, the capital has become orderly again today.

The shopkeepers of several stores in Zhou's Grain Store ran back to Zhou's house in a panic, trying to find shopkeeper Zhou for advice. But before Shopkeeper Zhou could find out what was going on, Zhou's Grain Store was closed down by the officials of Shuntian Prefecture.

The crime is maliciously driving up prices.

I heard that Zhou Buren, the owner of Zhou's Grain Store, was also taken to Shuntian Mansion for questioning.

The moment the seal was posted, the people cheered loudly.

Su Qingyu and Lin Wenbai were drinking tea in the small hall behind the shop, and they were shocked by the cheers outside.

"Cousin, how did you convince the merchant and the Fang family? I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. They all agreed."

Lin Wenbai said: "I told them what you said to me again. They are all monkeys and monkeys, and they agreed without any hesitation."

"The head of the Fang family happened to be in the capital, and he took the lead to find Mr. Xu Ge. Mr. Xu Ge was very satisfied with our response this time."

"According to what Mr. Xu Ge said, in just one or two days, the court is preparing to deal with the grain merchants who have raised prices. After meeting Mr. Xu Ge, the Fang family and the merchants are very grateful to me."

"In addition, the imperial court asked us to allocate part of the food for disaster relief. I remember your instructions, saying that the capital's warehouses can only distribute 200,000 shi."

Su Qingyu asked: "Then do they believe it?"

Lin Wenbai chuckled lightly and said, "Why don't you believe it? The Fang family can only provide 150,000 dan, and the merchants can only provide 100,000 dan. Our family can still provide a lot."

Su Qingyu pondered for a moment and said, "Before the grain from Jiangnan is transported here, the grain in Northern Zhili must be in short supply. Later, the court will take grain from these big grain merchants. You just follow them every time and act like you're just trying to cope. Don't give people the impression that you're rich and have plenty of grain."

Lin Wenbai nodded and replied: "I know how to do it. I have dealt with the government a lot in the past few years and I know their virtues."

Seeing that everything was going well here, Su Qingyu got up and returned to the Hou Mansion.

Gu Ruoyun was walking back and forth anxiously at the gate of the Hou Mansion, as if waiting for someone.

Su Qingyu signaled the carriage to stop, got out of the car and walked forward, asking, "Why is my cousin here? Is there something wrong?"

When Gu Ruoyun saw Su Qingyu, he remembered what happened today and couldn't help but ask: "Why are you suddenly selling it for one or two and five cents? Didn't you say yesterday that it would be sold for five cents of silver?"

Su Qingyu did not answer her words, but asked: "What does this have to do with my cousin? We have enough food in our house, so my cousin doesn't have to worry."

Gu Ruoyun was choked and couldn't speak, so he could only reply: "I'm just curious, just ask."

Su Qingyu said oh, turned around and entered the door, no longer paying attention to her.

Gu Ruoyun waited for a long time before returning to Lu Ru.

"Madam, Boss Zhou was captured by Shuntian Mansion."

"Didn't those stores last night still say they were selling for five taels of silver today? Why has everything changed today?" Gu Ruoyun asked.

Lu Ru whispered, "I heard that the second young master Lin was always around the Fang family and the merchants yesterday. It must be him who did this."

Gu Ruoyun clenched his hands into fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Su Qingyu...you deserve to die."

In the evening, everyone in the Su family was having dinner in various courtyards, but Su Chengye was suddenly taken away by officials from Dali Temple.

After everyone in the Su family got the news, they put down their chopsticks and went to Songhe Hall.

When Su Qingyu arrived, most people had already arrived. Su Yuankai was comforting the old lady, the two concubines were at a loss, and Gu Ruoyun was pale.

"Grandma, why on earth was my father arrested by Dali Temple?"

When Gu Ruoyun saw Su Qingyu come in, he said loudly: "You still ask why? It's not all your fault."

"You set up a trap against the Zhou family, and now Boss Zhou has confessed the Marquis. Did you do it on purpose? You deliberately framed your father."
