After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

"Chun Niang, is this...?" Shen Ruoyan looked at several banknotes, wondering what Chun Niang's intention was.

Chun Niang smiled and explained: "I guessed that you might need money recently, so I sold all the inventory in the warehouses of several shops into cash in advance. You can use the money. If it is not enough, we will think of other things." Method."

"But how can you get so much money from selling inventory?" Shen Ruoyan did a rough calculation and found that the total amount of these banknotes was nearly a thousand taels of silver. They only had six shops in total. Even if they sold all the goods, they would not be able to make enough money. It is possible to sell so much silver.

"Business is doing well this year. I have saved a sum of money here. I originally planned to take over the shop next door to expand the store. I heard about Master Shen, so I thought about pausing the expansion in advance and expanding the store. The money will be given to you first." Seeing Shen Ruoyan staring at her, Chun Niang obviously didn't believe this reason, so she had to add guiltily, "There are still some that we and people from other shops put together."

Looking at the pieces of tissue paper placed in front of her, Shen Ruoyan's eyes turned red instantly.

The people in their shop are all helpless and weak women. Several other shops are also run by refugees who have fled. These people have lost their homes and have no one to rely on in the capital. Their lives are already very difficult. , but in times of crisis, he can use the money he usually saves from his teeth to help himself.

At first, Shen Ruoyan just saw that they were pitiful and offered a little help. More importantly, she wanted to ask them to help her do business through cooperation.

Unexpectedly, today, when those powerful and powerful lords are trying their best to distance themselves from their own families, it is these common people who are using their own money to support themselves.

How could Shen Ruoyan not be moved by this?

Seeing that Shen Ruoyan hadn't spoken for a long time, Chun Niang was afraid that she wouldn't accept it, so she explained: "Don't worry, I have written the receipts for each family. You can't run away anyway. Just don't forget to return the money to us in the future."

Shen Ruoyan blinked her eyes hard, pushed back the tears in her eyes, and took out two banknotes, "I accept everyone's wishes. I borrowed these 400 taels from the shop. Please pay Chun Niang back the remaining money." Everyone."

Chun Niang shook her head and forced the remaining banknotes into Shen Ruoyan's arms, "How can this be done? Master Shen has to take care of everything. If the money is gone, he can make more money. The top priority now is to first Save your father.

Hey, my eldest lady, it’s now like this, why are you still being polite to us?

If it hadn't been for you, we would have starved to death somewhere. We have given these willingly, so why are you being polite to us here? "

Shen Ruoyan felt warm in her heart, "Chun Niang, I'm really not being polite to you. I have money in my hands and don't need so much money.

The several shops we have require money for purchase and turnover. Wouldn't it be better for you to keep the money and continue to look after the shop to earn money for me, and then ask you when I need it? "

Chun Niang didn't know how much money Shangshu Mansion had, but when she saw Shen Ruoyan's words, she became less worried and said, "Well, I will make sure to keep more cash in my hands in the next few days. If you need money, just come to me, or send someone to let me know, and I will send it to you."

Shen Ruoyan squeezed Chun Niang's hand gratefully and said sincerely: "Chun Niang, thank you."

The next day was the day when the Taifu Mansion held a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. Shen Ruoyan sat in front of the dressing table and dressed up carefully.

Looking at the bright and graceful woman in the mirror, Shen Ruoyan was stunned for a moment.

During the days she lived in Tianyan Pavilion, she had already given up her pretense of being a rich lady and didn't care about her dress. She often put her hair in a bun and went out. I wonder what Lu Yan would do if he saw himself like this. expression.

Thinking of Lu Yan, the corners of Shen Ruoyan's mouth curved slightly, but her eyes showed a bit of melancholy.

I left in a hurry this time and didn't even have time to look at him before going down the mountain. I didn't expect that the two of them had just reunited and were about to separate so soon. Would he miss her as much as she did.

"Miss, do you think this red onyx golden walking wave looks good? Or is this pair of conch pearl hairpins more suitable?" Qin'er's voice called Shen Ruoyan back.

The little girl held two pairs of headdresses and gestured at Shen Ruoyan's hair, unable to make a decision.

Shen Ruoyan thought for a while, "Bring me that gold-plated tendril hairpin and wear it today."

Qin'er tilted her head and went through it in her mind before remembering that this hairpin was one of the many betrothal gifts sent by Mr. Lu. She immediately said "Oh" and found the hairpin.

The delicate hairpin was inserted into Shen Ruoyan's hair, and the young lady's already bright face became even more noble.

Qin'er and Shen Ruoyan nodded with satisfaction at the same time.

After getting on the carriage, Shen Ruoyan did not go directly to the Taifu's Mansion, but asked the driver to stop a few blocks away from the Taifu's Mansion.

Along the way, Qin'er kept a worried look. Seeing Shen Ruoyan asking the driver to stop, her whole body relaxed exaggeratedly, and asked happily: "Miss, have you finally figured out whether to go to Taifu's Mansion?"

Shen Ruoyan shook her head, "We still have to go, but if we go there now, we probably won't be able to get in."

"Ah?" Qin'er patted her head and then remembered, "That's right, we don't have any invitations for the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet!"

Generally, when every family holds a banquet, they will send invitations in advance. Based on the relationship between their family and the Taifu's Mansion, even if nothing happens to the master, the Taifu will not send them invitations, let alone now?

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I just ran there without a card?

"Miss..." Qin'er's face looked even more worried than before, "Then what should we do?"

Shen Ruoyan opened the food box she brought with a calm expression, took out a piece of chestnut cake and handed it to Qin'er, "Come and eat something to satisfy your hunger. We'll wait here for the invitation."

"Waiting for the invitation?"

Qin'er took the pastry in confusion. The lady was not a fairy, so could she cast a spell to get people from Tai Tu's Mansion to send her messages?

Shen Ruoyan took a bite of the chestnut cake, leaned by the window and looked out carefully, saying vaguely: "There are many people who don't like us in the world, but you have to remember that we don't live for those people. of."

Qin'er seemed to understand, and was about to ask. Shen Ruoyan seemed to see something through the gap in the curtains, and immediately put down the chestnut cake in her hand.

As if he was explaining to Qin'er, but also as if to cheer himself up, he said without a clue: "The more difficult the situation is, the more beautiful we must smile!"

Seizing the opportunity, Shen Ruoyan opened the car curtain.

The sunlight slanted onto the girl's body from the window, covering her whole body in a halo. Shen Ruoyan raised a radiant smile, and Qin'er was stunned for a moment.

Such a young lady is so beautiful.

"Hello, Mrs. Wu~" Shen Ruoyan greeted proactively.
