The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245: Chapter 227, Pleasing Oneself_1

In the eighteenth year of the Yongxing era, the Yan Family had a very joyful New Year celebration.

Old Madam Yan was happy because the family was doing better and better, and her descendants were becoming more and more promising, even her daughter who had married far away in Beijing was now able to keep in regular correspondence.

Yan Zhigao was pleased that the grain seeds were successfully sown; once summer came and the harvest was high, as long as it alleviated the bandit problem in Fenxi, his promotion after finishing his term as Prefectural Governor would be all but certain.

Madam Li was glad because her eldest son was steadier and more responsible by the day, and in just a couple more years, he’d be able to discuss marriage and take a wife. Her second son was also becoming more diligent, and her daughter was a master at managing finances.

Not only was she good at making money for herself, but her own family and her maternal family also basked in her success.

The Li Family’s winery had been built and took advantage of the New Year’s holidays to sell a considerable quantity, earning back the initial investment in one go.

The Li Family naturally did not forget the Yan Family after earning money, sending over ten thousand taels of silver along with their New Year’s gifts.

The Yan Family’s foundations were also accumulating bit by bit.

The second household was happy too; they rejoiced because the greater the prosperity of the main household, the better off they would be too. The only downside was that Yan Wenjie was unable to join his three other brothers in attending Wangyue Academy.

The third household had always been the easiest to satisfy since they wanted very little. Yan Zhiqiang and the Wu Family watched as their eldest son Wentao grew more outstanding, the second son started school, and the youngest boy grew bigger by the day; their fields and manors were also increasing, leaving them nothing else to desire.

The younger generation was also very happy. During New Year, there were many banquets and they received invitations almost every day, hopping from one household to another, making new friends, and receiving gifts. How could they not be happy?

Daohua was naturally also happy, for nothing else but the fact that the ledger recording the earnings of the manors and shops was growing.

Wang Manman watched her own daughter sitting on the step, skillfully maneuvering the abacus with one hand and quickly flipping through the ledger with the other, her eyes crinkled into a smile, finding it both funny and delightful.

She used to not understand why the eldest legitimate daughter of the Yan Family, if in need of silver, hadn’t simply asked the madam—it would have been much easier than busying herself to earn it every day. It just seemed too tiring.

But ever since the last time, after the madam and Zhou Madam went out together to a temple to offer incense and on the way back, her lady took a fancy to some newly marketed hair ornaments, Wang Manman realized that her young lady was indeed very farsighted.

One set of the newly marketed hair ornaments cost several hundred taels of silver. At that time, Miss Zhou really liked one set, but unfortunately, she didn’t have any silver of her own and had to ask Zhou Madam for it.

Zhou Madam refused on the grounds that Miss Zhou already had too many pieces of jewelry at home.

Standing by, Wang Manman saw the disappointment and regret in Miss Zhou’s eyes, very clearly.

Her young lady, on the other hand, didn’t bother to ask the madam because she had her own silver. She simply bought the hair ornaments she liked and even bought a set each for the old madam and the madam. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

Although the young lady often mentioned having her own money made her more confident, everyone listened but soon forgot about it. It was only after this incident that Wang Manman profoundly experienced it.

Even Miss Zhou, after leaving the jewelry shop, clung to her lady, saying she would open her own shop to earn silver too.

“Brother Xiaoliu hasn’t brought enough medicinal seeds; tell him to look around more in the big pharmacies. He doesn’t need to focus only on those precious herbs; it’s the common and ordinary ones that are in greatest demand.”

Once Daohua had finished accounting for the profits of the shops and manors, she pondered the planting of medicinal herbs that was to start right after the New Year.

Wang Manman: “Don’t worry, miss. I’ll go find Brother Xiaoliu in a bit and make sure he understands. By the way, miss, are we still going to the provincial governor’s mansion for the Lantern Festival?”

Daohua shook her head, “No need to go this year. Both my uncles are quite busy with their businesses, so let’s not disturb them.”

Wang Manman laughed, “The business of the uncle masters is indeed getting bigger and bigger. Sister Ping Tong told me they have started selling their wine outside the province.”
