Chapter 183 Jiang Li's Dowry
When they returned to the yard that night, Xie Jiaojiao wanted to leave, but Jiang Weinan didn't let her, which surprised Xie Jiaojiao.
"What? You don't feel uncomfortable anymore?"
Jiang Weinan shook his head: "Shall we leave tomorrow?"
Xie Jiaojiao was puzzled: "Why?"
"Don't worry about it. Tomorrow, you can do your own thing. When I finish one more thing, I will pack up my things with Lai Fu and go to the inn to find you."
Since he was unwilling to say, Xie Jiaojiao naturally would not ask any further questions.
When it was time to go to bed at night, Jiang Weinan insisted on sleeping on the bed and would not let Xie Jiaojiao sleep on the couch.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at him speechlessly.
He spoke before her, "You have promised me today that you will never leave me. In this case, let's make this marriage a reality as soon as possible!"
As he said that, he pounced towards Xie Jiaojiao.
You can imagine the consequences for him!
He was kicked to the ground by Xie Jiaojiao.
Finally, he tried a few more times, but failed every time because he couldn't do it with Xie Jiaojiao. In the end, he could only cover his butt that was about to break and went to the couch.
He said, "I will find a master who knows Kung Fu someday..."
Xie Jiaojiao turned around and faced inside, unable to help but smile...
I slept without any dreams all night and till early morning.
After Xie Jiaojiao had breakfast, she went out with a maid.
Jiang Ruonan did not go with her today. Xie Jiaojiao discovered that if Jiang Ruonan learned something, he would write down his insights in his room the next day, and then have someone take it to Shopkeeper Wang, who would then send it to Jiang Caifeng.
Xie Jiaojiao asked Jiang Ruonan: Why is it like this? Isn’t it troublesome?
Jiang Ruonan just said: "I think it's very fun!"
……
Xie Jiaojiao arrived at the inn and told Manager Wang that she was moving back today. When Manager Wang heard this, he immediately went to make arrangements.
Li Baoshan had just found someone to renovate the inn, and when he saw Xie Jiaojiao coming, he hurried over to ask for her advice.
Xie Jiaojiao thought about it and proposed two ideas for him. One was that he should build a suite in the inn, and the other was that he should separate an ear chamber from each room and hang some paintings on it.
Li Baoshan understood the side chamber and hanging paintings, but he didn't quite understand this suite!
Xie Jiaojiao explained: "For example, if a couple takes their children out to play here, do they often need one room and the whole family squeezes into one bed?"
Li Baoshan nodded.
"What if we make this room bigger and put two beds in it, one big bed and one small bed? Do you think it will be more comfortable for the guests?"
Li Baoshan's eyes lit up, but then he said, "But if that's the case, wouldn't we have one less room to stay in?"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Can't we set the price of this suite a little higher?"
Li Baoshan immediately started to do it.
Steward Wang was very happy when he saw this, and said with emotion: "Since the Madam left, these old guys haven't been so diligent for a long time!"
"Don't worry, Uncle Wang, things will get better and better!"
Xie Jiaojiao looked at the account book for a while and practiced writing some characters.
Lai Fu came in carrying a bunch of things.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at it and asked: "Did your young master buy it?"
Lai Fu put down his things and shook his head: "I moved them from the Jiang family. There are still a lot of them outside!"
Xie Jiaojiao then walked out to see.
At first glance, the two carriages were full of things.
"Oh my goodness, have you emptied the Jiang family?"
Jiang Weinan fanned himself with a fan, sweating profusely: "This is just a small amount of stuff, it was all my mother's dowry!"
"Aren't these shops your mother's dowry?"
Jiang Weinan shook his head: "My mother's dowry is more than just these shops! My grandmother was the one who was most reluctant to part with my mother. There are so many gold and silver jewelry and rare treasures in it."
Xie Jiaojiao smacked her lips a little: "If there are so many, would your father be willing to let you take it?"
"How dare he not let me take it! If he doesn't let me take it, I will go out and tell people how he pissed off my mother and how he took my mother's dowry... and make him lose face in Jiangbo City!"
Xie Jiaojiao gave him a thumbs up.
After moving all these things into the inn, Xie Jiaojiao thought that she should ask Manager Wang to buy a house for them, otherwise it would be unsafe to keep so many valuables in the inn.
Jiang Weinan opened one or two of the boxes and handed them to Xie Jiaojiao: "My mother was reluctant to wear these two boxes of jewelry!"
When Xie Jiaojiao opened it, she saw a headpiece made of pure gold inlaid with red gems. It looked very elegant and luxurious!
The other one is a set of head ornaments made of pearls. Every pearl is the same size. In ancient times, pearls were collected by people going into the sea. One pearl was worth one or two taels of gold!
Jiang Weinan opened another box and saw a luminous pearl as big as a baby's fist?
"Is this the Night Pearl?"
Jiang Weinan nodded: "My uncle gave it to my mother. I heard it was a reward from the emperor!"
"Can the things awarded by His Majesty be given away as gifts?"
"Why not? Just don't let outsiders know about it!"
Xie Jiaojiao smacked her lips!
Jiang Weinan opened a box, shocking Xie Jiaojiao for a moment, then opened another one. After reading the last one, Xie Jiaojiao felt that she had broadened her horizons and seen the world!
Xie Jiaojiao looked at these treasures with a smile on her face.
"Look how happy you are!"
Xie Jiaojiao held up the night-shining pearl and said, "You said you have so many treasures. If I follow you, why would I run an inn or a restaurant? I'm afraid I can't spend all the money even if I eat and drink all day long!"
Jiang Weinan immediately raised his head: "That's right, I said before, I will support you, but you still don't believe it."
Xie Jiaojiao snorted: "Who asked you to raise it!"
As the two were talking, Lai Fu came running in from outside: "Master, Madam, that... that..."
"Why are you hesitating? Just say what you want to say and fart!"
"Mrs. Jiang is here..."
Jiang Weinan sneered and said to Xie Jiaojiao, "You must be reluctant to see all these good things taken away by me, so you are here to cause trouble!"
Xie Jiaojiao carefully put down the night pearl.
"Let's go meet her!"
Lai Fu said: "She also brought some people with her!"
Jiang Weinan snorted coldly: "She's here, so why are you afraid of her?"
As he said that, he went outside. As soon as he came out, Jiang Ruonan was standing with his hands on his waist, arguing with Li Qiuhe!
Li Qiuhe had long lost his usual pretentious demeanor, and now he and Jiang Ruonan were arguing outside the inn, their faces turning red!
Jiang Ruonan cursed, "My aunt treated you well when she was alive, but you are a foot-washing maid and a lowly servant. My aunt asked you to come into the house to serve her, but you went behind her back and climbed onto the bed of the mistress, making my aunt so angry that she died. You also abused my aunt's only son and occupied my aunt's dowry. My cousin took back my aunt's dowry, and you still have the nerve to come here to ask for it! You shameless stinky woman! Bah!"
This exposed all of Li Qiuhe's past in front of everyone, and Li Qiuhe was so angry that his whole body was shaking!
