Chapter 200: Vote Some More
The sunlight was scattered in the window pane, and a few beams of light shone on the silver bills, making Xiaokang feel that they were not real.
She picked up the banknote and touched it carefully. This was all the money allocated to her!
Seeing his sister like this, Campbell couldn't help but laugh.
"Sister, the banknotes are right in front of you, how can they be fake? These are the recent dividends, and I've put your 20,000 yuan principal in there to continue making money."
There was a lot of pride in his tone. He thought that only because he was smart could he help his sister earn so much money in such a short time.
The corners of Xiaokang's mouth kept curling up, and she was so happy that she couldn't suppress her excitement at all.
It has only been a short time, but the money she earned is more than the annual profit of her half-dying shop.
"Sister, I plan to invest some more. Do you want to add some more?" asked Campbell.
Xiao Kang grabbed the banknotes with both hands, smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Add more, I'll add more too!"
She had just calculated that at this rate of dividends, she would be able to double her investment in less than a year.
And if he wanted to take out the invested money, it was also very simple. The money his brother had invested before had been taken out, and the other party made a complete settlement without saying a word.
The two siblings calculated how much silver to take out, and they were busy calculating until the afternoon. Finally, Campbell left the mansion with two boxes of things.
The news that he took the things away was soon known to Old Kang. She opened her eyelids in disgust, shook her head and said:
"All she has done in her life is to subsidize her good-for-nothing brother. Didn't she give him a shop to run before? Hasn't he visited it in a long time?"
Madam Xu didn't pay attention to this, but she thought that since Campbell had been coming to the mansion quite often recently, he probably hadn't been to the shop very often, so she replied:
"He has been coming to our mansion more frequently recently. I'll ask the shop owner later."
"No need to ask. The shop originally belonged to their family. Whether the business is good or bad, I have never seen them send money to me."
Old Mrs. Kang put away the Buddhist beads, kowtowed to the Buddha statue, and then allowed Aunt Xu to help her up.
"The old lady is kind-hearted!" Aunt Xu complimented her.
At this time, Xiaokang was holding an abacus, paper and pen and making some notes. This time she added 60,000 taels, plus the original 20,000 taels, a total of 80,000 taels. Campbell invested 20,000 taels, and the two siblings invested a total of 100,000 taels, which could increase the dividend ratio by another 10%.
It was a pity that he did not have enough money. Fortunately, he had gotten 20,000 taels from the Zhang family a few days ago. His sister-in-law also lost some items, which he had to pawn. He also used Li Han's dowry and Yue Kuang's wedding money. After scraping together all the money, he finally had 80,000 taels.
She and Campbell had agreed that after the dividends came back, they would first redeem Li Han's dowry. They would also have money for Yue Kuang's wedding, and the remaining calligraphy and paintings, jade articles, etc. would be redeemed slowly.
Su Qingwan soon found out what Xiao Kang and Kang Baili had done. She immediately laughed and ordered:
"One hundred thousand taels is already quite good. Let them leave the capital!"
In order to raise the money, Xiaokang even pawned her children's money. It seems that she couldn't come up with anything more.
A few days later, Su Qingwan received an invitation from the palace, which was sent by Xiao Jinzi.
The handwriting on the invitation was crooked, and there were two people drawn, one big and one small. It was probably her and Xiao Jinzi. The picture was very childlike, and Su Qingwan couldn't help laughing.
"Shanhu, prepare a box of snacks. I'll go to the palace later." Su Qingwan said.
Shanhu took the order and left, while Su Qingwan went to Helin Courtyard to report to Jiang. However, just as she entered Helin Courtyard, she saw Aunt Rong coming back with a gossipy look on her face.
"Madam, Miss, I just saw the maid in the palace! Oh, that girl is terrible. When she saw us old women, her nose went up to the sky, and she wanted to look at us with her two nostrils."
Aunt Rong said with disdain.
In her opinion, the maids in the palace were also servants. How could they be superior to others? It was useless for her to look down on others.
"Aunt Rong, what is the purpose of the maid from the palace coming to our mansion?" Su Qingwan asked.
"It is said that this is the nanny that Concubine Shu has arranged for the second young lady. It seems that she is here to teach her the rules. I see that she has brought a ruler with her."
Su Qingwan said: "My second sister is lucky. The Concubine Shu has arranged for a nanny to come over now."
Jiang also nodded, "She is going to marry Prince Rui, so she must understand the royal rules."
Now that Su Qingwan doesn't have to marry him, Jiang Shi feels a lot more relaxed when she talks about Prince Rui.
Su Qingwan didn't respond, but instead talked about the purpose of her visit.
"Mom, Xiao Jinzi just sent me an invitation. I will go to the palace to see him later."
"I understand. Go ahead. I didn't expect the little guy would post messages." Liu just thought it was fun.
The mother and daughter first chatted about Xiao Jinzi's interesting stories. Liu from the first house saw that Su Yunrou looked unhappy and immediately poked her.
"Yun Rou, the maids came to the Marquis' Mansion to teach you. This is because the Concubine Shu thinks highly of you. Please don't lose your manners."
Su Yunrou lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you for your hard work, both maids."
In her dream, she was the queen, so how could she be bad at etiquette? It was unnecessary for Shufei to do this, and look at the two housemaids in front of her.
He is a big and strong man with a face full of flesh. He is not here to teach her the rules. It is obvious that he is someone sent by Concubine Shu to discipline her under the pretext of teaching her.
There is no need to ask why she did this. She must have known that the King of Qi had met her.
Su Yunrou was very upset, but what Liu said was right. The fact that these two maids came to the Marquis' Mansion showed that Concubine Shu valued her, so she could only accept it.
"We don't deserve this honor, but we hope that Miss will cooperate when I teach you the rules in the future," said a nanny.
"Okay!" Su Yunrou had no choice but to disagree.
After Su Lihan learned that the palace had arranged a nanny specifically for Su Yunrou, she couldn't help but feel envious.
Although she now looked down on Prince Rui, Su Yunrou enjoyed things according to the standards of Princess Rui. If she became Princess Qi, she might also have a nanny to teach her.
"Let's go out for a while." Su Lihan called the maid and went out.
When she reached the door, she just saw Su Qingwan's carriage going away. She pursed her lips in disdain, looking extremely disgusted.
"Fifth Miss, let's get on the carriage!" the maid reminded.
Su Lihan nodded and walked towards her carriage, but just as she was about to get in, she heard the sound of horses galloping from behind.
What's going on? This is in front of the Marquis's Mansion, how can someone run so fast?
Su Lihan frowned and looked in the direction where the sound came from. The carriage that was galloping towards her just stopped, but before it could completely stabilize, someone jumped out of the carriage. It was her uncle, Campbell.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Su Lihan asked in surprise.
I haven't seen him for just a few days. How come he has become like this?
