Moonlight Exposes the Works of a Concubine's Daughter Marrying into Royalty The Thoughts of a Concubine's Daughter at Twenty-Seven: Becoming a Concubine?

  However, it was clear that Jiū Jiě had worried too much. Just now, Jiang Yuxing didn't say a single word and didn't show any unusual expression at all.

  With Jiang's mediation, the matter of opening a shop was quickly settled. The major issues were decided on the spot, while some specific details were discussed and arranged later.

  Jiujier discovered that Jiang Yuxing indeed had a set of methods, just like this crayon. According to Jiang's meaning, if it was to make money, he would make a large quantity, but Jiang Yuxing opposed it and advocated for small quantities with fine workmanship, and then sell at a good price to drive the sales of Jiang's candles.

  Jiujier agrees with this, valuing rarity and using brands to drive production, having strategy and insight.

  In an era when candles are not common, how many people can afford to use wax pencils? Over-investing will only result in production exceeding sales, leading to inventory buildup.

  As for Bianzhou, the capital city and the Wang family's competition, Jiang Yuxing was not very enthusiastic.

  "Auntie, the snipe and the clam are fighting, and the fisherman is benefiting. Why must we be confined to this city? Let's go somewhere else." This eighteen-year-old youth had his own ideas.

  "Which one? Dongsheng Prefecture?" Jiang's eyebrows furrowed.

  "Hmm... Aunt, is it really only the North that's in trouble? Why don't we go to Jiangnan instead? The first to enter will gain an advantage. Isn't it better than lingering around here and suffering losses?" Jiang Yuxing said with a smile.

  Jiang's brow furrowed in deep thought, while Jiu Si'er, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but nod secretly.

  Indeed, the three-cotton-core technology and handmade candles are extremely low-tech and easy to imitate. As long as someone with a mind buys them back to study, this technology will soon no longer be exclusive to the Jiang family. The butterfly effect, how can it not spread?

  Uh...

  I'm afraid this skill is no longer exclusive to the Jiang family, otherwise why would Jiang Yuxing be so anxious and refuse to let her go?

  She couldn't help but steal a glance at Jiang Yuxing, who was chatting with the Jiang family, and their eyes met for an instant.

  Jiujie's face immediately turned red, she lowered her head, and in her heart, she couldn't help but feel regretful.

  This person won't think she's flirting with him through her eyes, will she?

  "...Jiangnan, can you let someone else go this time? You just came back and now you have to leave again, your sister-in-law will be worried." On the other side, Jiang's wife was already anxiously persuading Jiang Yuxing with a reluctant face.

  "I'll go instead. I have a childhood friend over there, it's easier to get things done!" Jiang Yuxing Jun's face was still warm and smiling, but his tone was firm.

  Jiang sighed and scolded him, "You're just so unbridled and uncontrolled, wait till you get married, see if you can still behave like this!"

  Jiang Yuxing didn't show much embarrassment, instead he burst out laughing, "Auntie, this marriage thing still depends on you."

  Jiang listened and wanted to scold her nephew again, but at this time, Zhou Mama coughed lightly, Jiang only then noticed that there was still a red-faced and ear-red nine sister sitting on one side, so she became serious again, and after saying a few more words with Jiang Yuxing, she took the nine sisters to the front hall.

  When leaving Jiang's house, it was already late in the day with the sun setting behind the western hills.

  Sitting in the same carriage, listening to the same noise outside, Jiu's mood was completely different from when she left, her heart full of joy.

  Her uncle's matter was resolved, and she also gained a small fortune, which could be considered her first major victory in this alien world.

  Believe it, as long as she works hard and takes good care of everything, the future will definitely be better!

  Compared to Jiu's good mood, Shi was gloomy. When Jiu asked her about it, she didn't say anything at first, but later said with some regret, "I don't know what annoyed Ying Taijie, and then she started to distance herself from me."

  Jiujie'er was taken aback, then smiled, "Shimei, you must be overthinking it. Ying jiejie is the host today, she's definitely busy, where would she have so much time to deal with you thoroughly?"

  The tenth sister nodded in agreement, "Exactly!"

  Jiuniang glanced back at Jiang Shi, who was closing her eyes to meditate, and naturally did not miss the fleeting anger and complexity on that elegant and beautiful face.

  Back home, the tenth sister shouted that she was tired and went to rest. Jiang Shi then let Cui Cui and Cui Mei direct a group of maidservants to arrange the things brought back from her mother's house.

  Every time Jiang returned from his mother's home, there would be such a big commotion, and Jiu Si Er naturally understood.

  Well, this is also a kind of showing off!

  To make up for the lack of dignity of his own merchant wife, in front of wealth, how dare that person in this mansion not look down on her.

  Hehe, Ninth Sister was also preparing to return home, but after walking two steps, she discovered that the gifts she had received from the Jiang family were gone.

  She immediately became anxious, silver was not much, but the problem was that she lacked it most now.

  She hastily turned back to look for it, along that corridor, and didn't find her own handbag until she was almost at the main house.

  She immediately ran over and picked it up, just as she was rejoicing, when suddenly a voice spoke in her ear.

  "I really didn't expect Sister-in-law to come up with this idea, wanting to send Ying Jie to the Yang family as a concubine."

  "What a pity, with Ying Jie's good character."

  "Hehe, what a pity... What a pity? You don't know how willing that girl is. Not to mention fawning over Mrs. Yang San, but even when Mrs. Yang San praised her a few times, she actually treated her as an enemy. I say, this birth mother is just a concubine herself, and yet she's eager to become a concubine again - isn't that self-inflicted?"

  "Can it be? This British girl is really... Ah!"

  "Hmph, you actually use this kind of thinking to speculate about others, don't you ever think that I would let my tenth sister become a concubine?"

  "Madam, could it be...could you be one of those who intentionally remain unmarried..."

  "What's wrong with you? You also think I want to send my daughter to be someone's concubine?"

  "Madam, don't be annoyed, let me tell you, actually both of the Yang family are not bad, that Weiyuan Wang has a main wife, but doesn't he still need a concubine?"

  "Ah, no wonder... But..."

  "Madam, Aunt Zhou, everything has been put away..."

  The sound of Cui Qiao's voice came from afar, interrupting the conversation between the two people and also rescuing Jiu Si Er.

  The ninth sister didn't dare stay any longer and took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to quietly slip back to her own quarters.

  Back in the house, I sat for a long time before my heart finally calmed down.

  Isn't a concubine also a wife?

  But it seems like it has nothing to do with me anyway.

  The ninth sister smiled and pulled out her own purse, slowly counting out the silver coins...

  The next day, Jiu Niang still got up early and went to pay her respects to San Fu Ren first, then accompanied San Fu Ren and Shi Niang to pay their respects to Lao Tai Jun.

  After that lesson, the three of them, mother and daughters, arrived very early every day.

  It's still very early today, and a faint red sun is appearing in the east, but the sky is still hazy.

  It just so happens that everyone arrived very early today, and when a few people arrived, others in several rooms had already arrived.

  Jiuer was extremely surprised, especially when she saw Wen Wusao wearing a moon-white satin jacket with embroidery, sitting together with Er Furen.

  What's going on? Why are they all bowing to them? Is something wrong?

  ……

  Digression

  What are these women gathering for? Hehe... To be continued in the next chapter!
