Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

Chapter 154 Buying a House

She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Yang Chenchuan. Yang Chenchuan groaned in his heart, this is none of his business!

But there is an emotion in this world called venting anger. Just because she can't do anything to Chen Ying'er now doesn't mean she can't do anything to Yang Chenchuan.

"What's your name? What do you do?" Lin Yuxi asked.

The little maid replied with a trembling voice: "My name is Qingzhu, and I do the sweeping work in the yard."

Lin Yuxi nodded, "You did a great job. Next time if she asks you for information, just answer her casually and come back to report to me. I'll give you this purse as a reward."

After saying this, she pushed the purse on the table toward the maid.

Qingzhu was slightly stunned. She weighed it and saw that the purse had at least five taels of silver. How could the young mistress give it to her as a reward?

When she thought of the new rules set by the young mistress, she quickly said that she dared not. When the young mistress first stipulated that no one in the courtyard was allowed to take rewards, she didn't feel much about it. After all, she was just a maid who swept the house, and the opportunities to take rewards were very rare.

However, Tongli's rule that hard work will be rewarded at the end of the month is true. Although there is no increase at the end of the month, the more work you do, the more money you can get. There must be many people who are skeptical at the beginning, but there are also people who are willing to give it a try.

At the end of the month, those who worked harder were really rewarded with silver, while those who were lazy had their silver deducted. I don't know how the young lady found out about this. Thinking of this, Qingzhu really admired her. At least there are fewer lazy people now. Everyone works with trepidation, not asking for rewards, but just asking not to have their monthly wages deducted.

In addition, Cuizhu's marriage was such a glorious event in the eyes of the servants, and many of them looked at the young mistress in a different light.

Some even held Cuizhu's hand and tried to show their goodwill to the young lady. Qingzhu didn't dare to say that she had no selfish motives, but she really didn't dare to accept the money. Once discovered, she would be sold for real, and there was no way for her to beg for mercy.

"This is what you deserve. This is the reward I give you. It is different from the reward given to outsiders." Lin Yuxi looked at Qingzhu seriously and smiled with satisfaction.

When she and Yang Chenchuan were the only ones left in the room, she puffed her cheeks and turned her head away, deliberately not looking at him. Yang Chenchuan knew she was angry and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Miss."

He called out tentatively.

“…-“

"Madam." He called again.

“…”

Lin Yuxi still didn't respond. Yang Chenchuan sighed deeply, but he was already very happy in his heart. She was jealous. The more she ignored him, the more jealous she was.

"Oh my, my lady, where does this jealousy come from? It's so sour that my teeth are softened."

As expected, two blushes floated across her face. Lin Yuxi turned her head and glared at him fiercely. Suddenly, she thought of something and slammed the table. As if she had made a major decision, she asked, "Husband, how much money do we have now?"

Huh? The topic changed a little too quickly. Yang Chenchuan was a little uncomfortable, but his mind was working fast.

"At the end of the month, the total profit of the two shops was 1,400 taels."

Not bad, she earned back one third of the money she earned from buying the shop in just one month. Lin Yuxi was instantly full of hope for the future. She spread her hands and said directly: "Give me the money!"

"What do you want to do?" Yang Chenchuan asked with raised eyebrows.

Lin Yuxi pouted and said in a firm tone: "Of course, I'm going to buy a house."

Yang Chenchuan's heart started beating fast when he heard this, and he asked tentatively: "My wife, you don't want to leave me, do you?"

She rolled her eyes and glared at him: "You are dreaming. If I leave, you can naturally take someone in? This is not a place for people to stay. You are calculating all the time, all for trivial matters. Do you have a brain? If I can't stand it one day, I will take you and run away from home together, and live our own carefree life. Don't think that we can't live without them. One day they will kneel down and beg us."

Yang Chenchuan felt relieved after hearing that. Fortunately, she wasn't going to leave him. Then he thought about what she said about taking him and his mother with her. He was moved again. She really treated his mother as her own mother and kept her in mind all the time.

She just looked at him, waiting for him to scoop out the money. Yang Chenchuan curled his lips and shook his head, saying, "No more!"

"What?" Lin Yuxi didn't understand. Yang Chenchuan blinked innocently, looked at Lin Yuxi and repeated: "All the money has been used up. I can't give it to you for the time being."

When she heard that the money was all spent, she pouted and said nothing more. Yang Chenchuan looked at her suspiciously for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "You don't want to ask me where the money was spent?"

Lin Yuxi glanced at him and said, "You are my husband, and the shop belongs to both of us. How can I stop you from using the money? As long as you use it for the right purposes, it's fine. But if you want to talk about it, I don't mind listening."

Yang Chenchuan couldn't help but smile knowingly after hearing this. His wife was different from others. Her wholehearted trust made him feel warm inside. She didn't blame him for using the money privately, nor did she doubt his intentions. This feeling of being completely trusted was really good!

"But don't think you don't have to pay it back after you spend the money. It's our common property, and you spent half of it. You have to pay it back in the future. If you can't, you'll have to sell yourself to me. You'll be my slave for the rest of your life, and you won't be able to leave me forever."

Her words that sounded like threats made Yang Chenchuan feel comfortable physically and mentally. What he wanted was a lifetime, right? He kissed her on the face with a surging mind, and wanted to make her happy, so he asked: "Do you want to go out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuxi's eyes sparkled, and she looked at him expectantly. Yang Chenchuan pinched her small nose and said lovingly, "My wife has been very obedient in recent days, and I am very happy. I will take you to Zui Furong for a hot pot as a reward."

"Only going to Zui Furong?" She pouted, not quite satisfied. It was far from what she expected. "I also want to go shopping. Can my husband take me shopping?"

She blinked her eyes, looking pitiful but also a little hopeful at him. Yang Chenchuan really couldn't do anything with her.

His wife wanted to go out and play every day, and always thought of some tricks to force him to take her out, but he also wanted to take her for a walk today, so he agreed. Lin Yuxi shouted long live Yang Chenchuan, kissed him on the face, and deliberately smeared saliva on it, and smiled with satisfaction.

The two men gave instructions to the Second Madam, listened to her words of caution, and then set off.

In the carriage, she threw the veil into a corner in disgust, "Why should I wear this thing? What can I see with a piece of cloth blocking my vision? I might as well not go shopping."

Yang Chenchuan remained calm and let her vent before saying, "Since my lady doesn't want to go shopping, let's go back home."

Lin Yuxi's face drooped when she heard this. They had clearly agreed on it, but now he wanted to go back on his word. How annoying! Normally, he didn't allow her to go out, but now he wanted to go back on his word.
