Reborn Lady - Chapter 34

In her previous life, Yin Hui devoted all her attention to Wei Luo and her son. She had too much money in her hands. Since she was a child, she didn’t have to worry about money. She never cared about any store her grandfather gave her. She left it to Uncle Zhou to take care of it. Since Uncle Zhou was loyal enough to her, and he was backed by King Yan’s mansion, there were no problems in those industries. Later, when Yin Jingshan and his son ruined the Yin family’s property, they even came to beg her, hoping that she could return the four dyeing workshops to them so that they could revive the Yin family’s business.
Yin Hui naturally ignored it.
After being reborn, Yin Hui withdrew her love for Wei Luo, and naturally she also focused on other things.
No matter how reliable Uncle Zhou was, he would be turning fifty that year. She could use Uncle Zhou for another ten or even twenty years, but there would always be times when he couldn’t do it anymore. She didn’t want to follow in the footsteps of the second uncle’s family, and let the property that her grandfather painstakingly allocated to her also decline.
Therefore, she must be familiar with the operation of those industries, and she must support and train the next generation to be in charge while her grandfather, Uncle Zhou, and the others were still there.
It was lunch time, and there were not many customers in Jinxiu Building. The storekeeper Liu Manniang was sitting behind the counter, dialing the abacus, glanced outside inadvertently, and then froze.
Yin Hui smiled at Liu Manniang.
She was the jewel in the palm of her grandfather, and liked to walk around with her grandfather since she was a child. It was too far away from other places, but Yin Hui had been to all the big and small stores of the Yin family in Pingcheng. Because girls love beauty, Yin Hui came to Jinxiu Building the most times. Liu Manniang was also very familiar with her as she watched Yin Hui grow up.
“My second young lady, you were in the palace, why did you come out by yourself?” Leaving aside her abacus, Liu Manniang ran out excitedly, and invited Yin Hui to the backyard as quickly as possible, “Second young lady, doesn’t it matter if you go out?”
The palace was the sky in the eyes of the people in Pingcheng. Liu Manniang hadn’t seen Yin Hui for almost two years, so she naturally thought of the palace as a place that couldn’t be easily entered or left.
Yin Hui smiled and said, “I can come out once a month. Send someone to invite Uncle Zhou first, let’s talk slowly.”
Liu Manniang immediately ordered a servant to invite Uncle Zhou.
Yin Hui had too many dowry properties, and Uncle Zhou had to manage everything, so he was a busy man.
Yin Hui asked Liu Manniang to bring the tape measure again, and she wanted to make another six sets of winter clothes and spring clothes each in her store.
Ten sets a season was not a luxury for her.
Liu Manniang was very happy, she took Yin Hui’s measurements and said with emotion, “The last time I made clothes for you, I made your dowry. Today I finally have another chance. Oh, why are you so thin? Not like someone who had a child, um, the breasts have grown…”
Compared with the tailor lady in the palace, Liu Manniang regarded Yin Hui as her own child, so she spoke intimately.
Yin Hui asked her about the store.
Liu Manniang asked in surprise, “Why are you suddenly asking these questions?”
Yin Hui said bluntly, “Second Uncle and the others have always been dissatisfied with my grandfather giving me Jinxiu. You and Uncle Zhou will not be able to help me in the future when you get old. If I don’t care, I won’t understand anything. Once it affects the business of Jinxiu, I couldn’t bear to be ridiculed by my second uncle and aunt again.”
Liu Manniang was both surprised and relieved that the second young lady who used to only know how to eat, drink and play had finally grown up.
She started with some simple things.
When her throat got dry, Uncle Zhou came, and Liu Manniang asked him to talk to Yin Hui, and she went to the front to entertain the guests.
Time was limited, and Yin Hui couldn’t know it all at once, so she asked Uncle Zhou to sort out the accounts of various industries for the whole year last year and send them to King Yan’s mansion. She would ask more again next time they meet. After all, she was the lady of a big businessman. Yin Hui still had some basic knowledge from her childhood. If she really wanted to get started, she would definitely learn it thoroughly in time, at least she wouldn’t be easily fooled by others.
Uncle Zhou moved very quickly, and ordered a box of account books to be sent over a day later, including letters with the head of the village and the manager in other places.
Except for some entertainment in the palace, Yin Hui was generally very leisurely, and had a lot of time to read the books.
In a blink of an eye, it was the ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival.
Ancestor worship was held in the palace in the morning, and Princess Xu held a chrysanthemum appreciation party in the garden in the afternoon.
The weather was fine, therefore Yin Hui brought Xiao Heng out. The little guy could sit up, and the adults talked. He sat in a small wooden cart with wheels, looking around with big eyes.
Xiao Mei, Erlang, and Shiro were also there.
Xiao Mei was five years old, sitting obediently next to her grandmother, Concubine Xu. Erlang had learned the lesson of being confined for a month, and he was more stable.
Ji Xianxian’s belly was already very big, and she might give birth someday. She also brought out her Shiro. Shiro had already passed one year old, but he was weak and couldn’t walk steadily now.
Seeing Xiao Heng who was having a great time playing alone in the wooden cart, Ji Xianxian smiled and said to Shiro’s wet nurse, “Let them both play together.”
Mrs. Wen showed nervousness because the kid was a sick child. What if he still had sickness, and transmitted it to Xiao Heng?
Concubine Li looked like she was watching a play, she said with a smile, “Let him play by himself. Xiao Heng looks small, but he has a lot of strength. What if he kicks him?”
Yin Hui nodded in agreement, “What mother said is right. I was feeding him grapes in the morning. I was kicked by him in the arm, and it still hurts.”
Ji Xianxian: “Your child is so strong, then quickly bring Shiro back, our Shiro is delicate, we dare not provoke him.”
Concubine Li turned her head to Princess Xu and said, “Lord and the others have set off and will come back now, right?”
“They should come back quickly. The third master had been away for three months, so the third daughter-in-law was so bored, she goes out every now and then to get some air.”
