The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1210 - 1032, Greed Knows No Bounds

Fangji Silk and Satin Shop.

Since Feng Liangji arrived in Xiliang not very early, by the time he got to Bamu Town, all the shops in good locations had already been snapped up.

The shop only had over a hundred square meters, and even such a small place, he obtained only by invoking the name of the Prince Residence of Weiyuan.

In the back courtyard of the shop, after Sun Jiayue returned, she felt somewhat uneasy, constantly recalling the Madam she had just seen, wondering who she might be.

No wonder she couldn’t remember; in truth, Sun Jiayue had only met Daohua a few times, and that was during the engagement of Feng Liangji and Li Zixuan, which was already a matter over a decade ago.

Really unable to recall, Sun Jiayue couldn’t be bothered to think further, she called a maid over and asked, "What is the master doing now?"

The maid said, "The boss is upfront greeting the owners of the Fang and Xu Families."

Sun Jiayue curled her lips, "They must be here again to ask my husband to help them rent a shop."

The maid smiled, "Who could blame them? It’s so hard to rent a shop here in Bamu Town. If it weren’t for the master leveraging his connections, our family might be like those itinerant traders, carting goods around to sell everywhere."

Hearing this, Sun Jiayue’s expression turned somewhat unsightly.

The reason her husband could quickly establish connections in Xiliang was all because of Li Zixuan. The thought of Li Zixuan sitting in the position of the main mistress of the Feng Family made her feel extremely aggrieved.

She was in no way inferior to Li Zixuan, yet she was subjected to a position beneath her, effectively making her seem lesser.

It was all because Li Zixuan had a good aunt!

No matter how discontented Sun Jiayue was, she could only swallow her feelings now, knowing that unless the Yan Family fell, she would never surpass Li Zixuan in this lifetime.

Soon, Sun Jiayue’s face revealed a smile again.

What of being the legitimate wife? Although her husband respected Li Zixuan, he doted on her even more, and the one he took to travel and enjoy the sights was her.

The relationship between her husband and Li Zixuan was more a partnership of interests, rather than one of affection.

Her situation was different; she and her husband grew up together like childhood sweethearts, clearly more valued in his heart. Otherwise, when she claimed herself to be Madam Feng in public, her husband would not have allowed it unresisted.

With this thought, Sun Jiayue’s mood immediately brightened, instructing the maid to prepare some pastries, preparing to deliver them to Feng Liangji upfront.

In the front shop, two middle-aged men clad in brocade were lavishing compliments on Feng Liangji, who was a generation younger than them.

In Zhongzhou, the Fang and Xu Families were considered friendly toward the Feng Family. It was somewhat uncomfortable for the elders to seek favor from their junior.

But what could they do?

In Xiliang, they had absolutely no connections, whereas the Feng Family had the support of the Prince Residence of Weiyuan! freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Dear nephew, we have expended some silver to grease a Government Office official, and he mentioned that there seems to be a batch of shops about to be leased out soon."

"There are just too many people coming to Bamu Town for business now, we simply can’t compete for a spot. Look, could you help us secure a shop?"

Feng Liangji showed a troubled expression: "My uncles, you know how hard it is to rent a shop here, I really can’t make any guarantees."

The Patriarch of the Fang Family immediately laughed and said, "Dear nephew, you’re being too modest. Others might not understand, but do we not? You have a genuine kinship with the Prince Residence of Weiyuan. If you speak up, would the Government Office dare not act?"

The Patriarch of the Du Family continued, "Rest assured, if you help us, we won’t let you suffer." As he said this, he drew several silver notes from his sleeve.

Feng Liangji glanced at the denomination of the silver notes indifferently, noting that they were each worth a thousand taels and satisfaction flickered in his eyes, yet he feigned discontent on the surface, saying:

"What are my two uncles doing here? Given our relationship, wouldn’t I help if you were in trouble? Please take these silver notes back with you."

Hearing this, both Elder Fang and Elder Du sighed in relief.

Elder Fang smiled and said: "If you’re going to help us, it will surely involve some facilitation here and there, surely we can’t expect you to foot the bill, right?"

Elder Du added: "Indeed, dear nephew, we’ll have to trouble you with our affairs."

After chatting a bit more, Elder Fang and Elder Du stood up and left. Feng Liangji personally escorted them out of the shop.

At this moment, Sun Jiayue walked out from behind the shop, stood at the doorway, and along with Feng Liangji, saw off Elder Fang and Elder Du.

"I remember who she is now!"

Inside the carriage across from the shop, Daohua watched with an ugly expression as Sun Jiayue returned to the shop holding onto Feng Liangji’s arm.

Xiao Yeyang asked: "Who is it?"

Daohua said: "I don’t remember her name, but I saw her when Sister Zixuan and Feng Liangji were engaged. She’s the sister of a friend of Feng Liangji’s, I think her surname is Sun."

Seeing Daohua’s furrowed brows, Xiao Yeyang reached out to smooth them: "What do you want to do?"

Daohua fell silent for a moment: "This is Sister Zixuan’s family matter, it’s not right for me to interfere, but I can’t just turn a blind eye. What’s most infuriating is that Feng Liangji is doing all this under the guise of the Prince Residence’s name, it’s so aggravating."

Xiao Yeyang pondered for a moment and then said: "Dealing with Feng Liangji is easy enough, but we have to consider your cousin’s feelings. Why not call over Chen Zhi and ask him?"

Daohua nodded her head.

It was only proper, both morally and emotionally, to inform the Li Family of Feng Liangji letting a concubine act as his main wife in public.

...

Sun Jiayue counted the silver notes given by the Fang and Du families and said to Feng Liangji with a smile: "They know their place, exactly ten thousand taels in total."

Feng Liangji directly took out two notes and gave them to Sun Jiayue for pocket money: "Buy whatever you like."

Sun Jiayue happily put away the silver notes, then quickly kissed Feng Liangji: "I overheard a bit of your conversation just now. Since there are new shops up for lease, should we rent a few more?"

Feng Liangji nodded with a smile: "Don’t worry, I’ve already notified people in the Governor’s Office to reserve the shops with good locations for me."

Saying this, a smug expression appeared on his face.

"Luckily, the Li Family and the Yan Family are connected by marriage. The name of the Prince Residence has real clout in Xiliang. Do you know who received me? The town mayor of Bamu Town."

At this moment, Feng Liangji was extraordinarily glad for the Feng Family’s marital connection to the Li Family. With the support of the Yan Family, their business had been booming over the years.

Nowadays, anyone who knows of his kinship ties with the Prince Residence flatters him to no end, and he really enjoyed the adulation of everyone.

Seeing Feng Liangji’s high regard for the Li Family, Sun Jiayue wasn’t particularly excited, but she still happily agreed with him.

Feng Liangji smilingly said: "Not only am I going to rent a few more shops, I also want to secure a quota for selling tea leaves. The demand for tea in the Western Regions is the greatest. As long as we get the quota, the Feng Family’s business will quickly reach new heights."

This comment made Sun Jiayue’s eyes sparkle. She wrapped her arms around Feng Liangji’s neck and coquettishly said: "Husband, business in Bamu Town is so good, why not call my brother over to help you?"

"With your capabilities, you could help the Fang and Du families, so you could also help my brother rent a shop. Don’t forget, my family owns a Tea Garden Villa."
