After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

Song Mingli sent Xiao Taohong back to the opera troupe, and left two little girls who were fast and skilled in martial arts to follow Xiao Taohong.

Two servants were also left behind, as it was more convenient for men to report the news.

Song Mingli returned to the Marquis' Mansion and immediately settled his accounts.

She left at least two months' expenses for the Marquis's Mansion, and the remaining money was only more than 30,000 taels.

"Sixty thousand taels, still half short!" Song Mingli sighed.

"Why not ask Shopkeeper Qi? As long as the silk is ordered, he might be able to free up some money." Zi Su suggested.

Song Mingli nodded. If Princess Huihe and Princess Taihua were to place an order, it would definitely be a big deal.

With Qi Liang's business skills, it is not impossible for him to get their family to sign a large reservation order.

"Wait a couple of days," Song Mingli said, "Send someone to ask Qi Liang how much money he can spare."

She wanted to buy the silver shop. Besides making money from it, she also wanted to give Qi Xu a freer stage to display his talents.

This is a matter of mutual fulfillment. If Qi Liang saw Qi Xu's focus, dedication and brilliance when he was designing,

I think he will spare no effort to make this happen.

"After a long time, will the silver shop be taken over by someone else?" Zi Su asked worriedly.

Song Mingli thought for a moment and said, "He wants a high price, and the silver shops in Kyoto are almost fully stocked. If they don't lower the price, it may not be easy to sell."

Shiso nodded, "Yeah."

Song Mingli was still a little worried about Xiao Taohong's situation.

Two days later, when Song Mingli sent someone to ask Qi Liang how much money he could spare, he went out of the house and set the meeting place at the theater.

She arrived early and just happened to listen to Xiao Taohong's play first.

"Xiao Taohong is quite famous now!" Zi Su said excitedly, "Her performances are always sold out."

"If she hadn't asked the troupe owner to give us a private room, we wouldn't have been able to book one in the morning! The troupe owner said that her play had to be booked a few days in advance."

Song Mingli smiled and nodded.

Not as popular as in the previous life!

If it were in her previous life, when she was at the peak of her fame, people like Zhou Hui would not dare to set their sights on her.

When Qi Liang arrived, Xiao Taohong was singing.

Song Mingli waved at Qi Liang and stared at Xiao Taohong on the stage.

Song Mingli didn't like watching plays very much, but when Xiao Taohong was on the stage, she had a kind of attractive charm that made people reluctant to look away, for fear of missing her every frown and smile.

It seems that there is drama and story in her every frown and smile.

Qi Liang looked at Song Mingli in surprise.

Seeing that she was watching intently, Qi Liang was not in a hurry. He sat down and watched the show as well.

Maybe it was because he often saw his younger brother Qi Xu, so he was immune to "beauty", or maybe he didn't understand the charm of opera, so he listened absent-mindedly.

After Xiao Taohong finished her performance, Song Mingli turned around and looked at Qi Liang.

But the cheers and applause from the audience were so loud that it irritated my ears.

Sitting in the private room, Song Mingli couldn't hear Qi Liang's words clearly.

After a pause, the cheers died down a bit, and then he said, "The Shu brocade we ordered last time has been sold out. Princess Huihe's residence, Princess Taihua's residence, Dali Temple Minister Tong's residence, and several noble residences have all placed orders. I'm afraid he won't be able to supply the goods, so I've already advanced him part of the payment for the next shipment."

Qi Liang took out a stack of silver notes, "Here is 13,000 taels. I have reserved cash for the normal operation of several shops, and I can take out this much right now."

Song Mingli looked at the banknote but didn't take it. "Then we still need more than 10,000 taels."

"Is there something urgent going on, Boss? Is it important? If not..." Qi Liang hesitated for a moment, "Go to the bank and borrow some money? I heard that Shenglong Bank has a very good reputation."

Song Mingli nodded slightly.

The last time she dealt with Shenglong Money House, the experience couldn't be better.

The service efficiency is high, the credit limit is high, the interest required is low, early repayment can be made at any time, and the interest is settled on a daily basis.

If you really want to borrow money, Shenglong Money House is the best choice.

Song Mingli told Qi Liang that he wanted to buy a silver shop and that Qi Xu was good at design.

"Look, I brought a few headpieces designed by him."

Song Mingli said, "What kind of exquisite and gorgeous jewelry have Princess Huihe and Princess Taihua not seen? They are both nobles who are used to wearing jewelry in the palace."

"But when they saw Qi Xu's design, their eyes lit up too! They were amazed!"

"Do you know why the Shu brocade is selling so fast? It's because Qi Xu designed the clothes for them and said that using our Shu brocade will produce the best results."

Qi Liang listened to what Song Mingli said in a daze.

He looked down at the design in his hand, then looked at Song Mingli.

As if he didn't understand what Song Mingli said, "Qi Xu... is he that capable?"

Song Mingli didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "He's not a sickly person. You haven't seen him drawing the design. He looks energetic and full of vitality."

"I think since he likes design so much, it would be a waste of his talent to ask him to draw designs for others."

"Why don't we open a jewelry store ourselves and let him design headwear and jewelry freely? Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"

Qi Liang didn't know whether he couldn't believe it or was too shocked.

He was usually smart and perceptive, but now he looked dazed.

Song Mingli was about to speak when she saw the little girl she had left with Xiao Taohong coming towards her with an anxious look on her face.

Song Mingli felt something was wrong and stood up immediately.

"What happened?" Zi Su went up to ask.

"That Mr. Zhou, he, he is here again! He is blocking the backstage and wants to take Xiao Taohong away!" the little girl said anxiously.

Song Mingli immediately went backstage.

Qi Liang also stood up and said, "Boss, do you need any help?"

Song Mingli thought for a moment and couldn't help but smile, "I really need your help!"

"I'll hold Zhou Hui here, you help me and go get someone!"

Qi Liang was slightly stunned, then bowed in agreement.

The two of them split up.

Song Mingli went backstage to block Zhou Hui.

"Mr. Zhou, nice to meet you again." Song Mingli said with a smile.

The people in the opera troupe still have some sense of brotherhood.

Several warriors blocked Xiao Taohong behind them, and Zhou Hui's men had not yet gained any advantage.

The boss apologized with a smile, winked at Xiao Taohong, asking her to be submissive, and pleaded with Zhou Hui with nice words.

"It's you again - Song!" Zhou Hui saw Song Mingli and couldn't help but smile coldly, "Changning Marquis's Mansion, Madam!"

After saying the word "Madam", he burst into laughter.

"A mansion with a seven-year-old kid as the marquis, a Song family that led a large army to a disastrous defeat, what right do you have to stand here and challenge me?"

Zhou Hui looked at Song Mingli with disdain.

"It seems that Mr. Zhou has already asked about me, so you should know," Song Mingli smiled slightly, "Those with bare feet are not afraid of those with shoes!"

"The Song family and the Marquis' Mansion are already like this, what should I be afraid of? I don't care!"

"But you, Master Zhou, are different! You are so overbearing, aren't you afraid of bringing trouble to the Zhou family or that person?"

Zhou Hui narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Threatening me?"

"Your Master Zhou was not brought up to be scared! With your ability, what kind of waves can you make?"
