Chapter 119 Ways to Get Rich
"Master Xuan, Master Xuan Jing?" Marquis Anyang was surprised.
"Master, why are you here?"
Master Xuan Jing spoke calmly: "Of course, it is to give porridge to Master Lu and Madam Lu."
Anyang Hou: "...Master, why are you distributing porridge today?"
Master Xuan Jing looked at Anyang Hou in surprise: "My Lord, do we need to choose an auspicious day to distribute porridge?"
Marquis Anyang was choked and didn't know what to say.
"My Lord, do you still have something to do? If not, please move aside. You are blocking the people behind you from getting the porridge." Master Xuan Jing reminded Marquis Anyang.
Marquis Anyang's face suddenly turned red and he quickly moved to the side.
The ragged people behind rushed over quickly to get the porridge.
Marquis Anyang saw that those who were supposed to be having the banquet at Marquis Changyuan's mansion were now here distributing porridge together.
He was originally very angry and wanted to question.
However, after seeing Master Xuan Jing, he was speechless.
Master Xuan Jing wants to do good deeds, who wouldn’t want to follow him?
Everyone knows that Master Xuanjing is an accomplished monk. If you follow Master Xuanjing to do good deeds, you will gain great merit.
No wonder those who attended the wedding banquet at Changyuan Marquis Mansion left early.
If you encounter something like this, it would be strange if you don’t rush over.
If he didn't have a bad relationship with Lu Yunxu and Qiao Jinlan, he would also want to join.
Marquis Anyang just watched helplessly as the guests who were supposed to be drinking at the wedding banquet now gathered around Lu Yunxu attentively and served porridge together.
Even the female relatives were chatting and laughing with Qiao Jinlan.
These are people that Lu Yunxu cannot normally come into contact with in his current status.
But when the porridge was being distributed, their positions were reversed, and these people deliberately talked to Lu Yunxu and Qiao Jinlan.
Who made Master Xuan Jing appear to have a particularly good relationship with Lu Yunxu and Qiao Jinlan?
Because of the participation of other people, the charity amounted to more and the momentum was much greater.
How could the grand ceremony of the wedding of the Marquis of Changyuan and the Marquis of Anyang be compared with the scale of distributing porridge together by dozens of families?
So, the next day, people in the capital were talking about the porridge distribution yesterday. The Changyuan Marquis Mansion was getting married... Well, there are always weddings, but it is rare for Master Xuanjing to distribute porridge personally.
At the same time, there was a piece of news circulating.
Master Xuan Jing is very optimistic about Lu Yunxu and Qiao Jinlan.
Many people at the scene witnessed yesterday that Master Xuan Jing treated Lu Yunxu and Qiao Jinlan very close.
Naturally, they look at people who are favored by Master Xuan Jing differently.
The limelight of Anyang Marquis Mansion was snatched away one after another, which made Qiao Jiaojiao very unhappy.
She revealed a piece of news to Lu Liangyi, and then Lu Liangyi went to discuss it with Marquis Anyang.
"Stockpiling charcoal?" Anyang Hou frowned in confusion. "Are you sure there will be a heavy snow this year and the price of charcoal will rise sharply?"
"Father, I'm sure." Qiao Jiaojiao said affirmatively.
Her memory could not be wrong.
After the beginning of winter, Dazhen experienced heavy snow for a long time. Many places in Dazhen suffered from the snow disaster, causing countless casualties.
The capital suffered the least casualties, but the price of charcoal soared.
If they buy charcoal now when the price is still low, and then sell it at a high price when the city is closed due to heavy snow, they can make a lot of money.
The Marquis' Mansion is quite short of money right now.
Marquis Anyang couldn't make up his mind at the moment, as storing coal would be a considerable investment.
The current situation of the Marquis' Mansion really can't withstand any more trouble.
If they fail, their lives will be even more difficult.
"Father, what Jiaojiao said must be right." Lu Liangyi's trust made Qiao Jiaojiao feel sweet in her heart.
Her brother Yi trusted her so much that after Brother Yi gained power, even if other women threw themselves at him, she would still occupy an important position in Brother Yi's heart.
"Jiaojiao has done so many things, and there is no problem with any of them." Lu Liangyi has absolute confidence in Qiao Jiaojiao.
Marquis Anyang looked at Qiao Jiaojiao, and thinking about what Qiao Jiaojiao had done during this period, he nodded slightly in approval.
"However, the accounts of the Marquis' Mansion now..." Marquis Anyang looked at Su Yunxia.
Su Yunxia was in a dilemma: "My Lord, we don't have much money in our account."
She knew that the Marquis' Mansion was poor, but she didn't expect it to be so poor.
After she took over, she was really stretched to the limit.
"How come there is no money? Where is the profit from the shop?" Marquis Anyang frowned.
Su Yunxia said hesitantly: "The profits of several shops are not very good."
"Not so good?" Although Marquis Anyang was not in charge of the accounts, he probably knew the accounts of the mansion.
"Business was good before, why is the profit not so good now?" Marquis Anyang didn't understand.
Su Yunxia didn't know how to start, but Qiao Jiaojiao explained: "Father, it's Lin."
"Lin left and took away the people who were in charge of the shop."
"Without a shopkeeper, the new shopkeeper my mother hired is not familiar with the shop's operations, so naturally the profits are not as good as before."
"When Lin left, he didn't leave behind the shop's supply channels or anything like that."
After hearing this, Marquis Anyang became angry: "She wanted to destroy the Marquis Anyang's Mansion on purpose!"
"I didn't expect that she is such a petty person!"
"Don't be angry, Lord." Su Yunxia hurriedly comforted him, "Maybe she is upset, so she is venting like this."
"We don't have that much money now, and we can't store too much charcoal." Marquis Anyang was quite worried about this.
What's the point if we don't stockpile in large quantities?
"Why don't I go home and let my dad come with me." Qiao Jiaojiao said.
"Let's stock up together and make money together."
With such a good opportunity, she also wanted to help her mother's family.
At least she wanted to let her father know that she was a much better daughter than Qiao Jinlan.
"Okay." Marquis Anyang did not stop him.
It is understandable that Qiao Jiaojiao came up with the idea of bringing her family together to make money.
Marquis Anyang was thinking about another thing.
Since Qiao Jiaojiao even pulled her father over, she must be certain that the price of charcoal will go up.
He doesn't have that much money, so he should borrow some money so that he can earn more.
The Qiao family just joined in the hoarding of goods, so the money earned was not theirs.
Marquis Anyang tried to find a way to raise money, and Qiao Jinlan also went to the temple.
She had promised to go with Master Xuanjing to pray for blessings. Although she felt that praying was a futile effort, she had promised, so she couldn't break her promise.
"Master, isn't it in the temple?" Qiao Jinlan asked curiously.
"No." Master Xuan Jing explained with a smile, "It's in the back mountain."
Since Qiao Jinlan is here, she has no objection to walking a few more steps.
"Coal boss, have you been good lately?" Master Xuan Jing looked at the civet cat nestled obediently on Qiao Jinlan's shoulder, not knowing what to say.
He still couldn't get used to the civet cat's performance.
"Very well behaved." Qiao Jinlan couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips when she mentioned the kitten. "Very obedient, and very smart."
"What a lovely little cutie."
The little kitten immediately rubbed Qiao Jinlan's neck coquettishly, meowing and crying for milk.
