Ning'an Courtyard
As soon as Jiang Ning returned to the door, Chun Lan came to greet her, "Young lady, Miss Jin has sent an invitation to the silk shop for tea."
"Silk shop?"
It seems that the business is making progress.
Jiang Ning changed her clothes, informed Madam Lin, left the Marquis Mansion, got on the carriage, and went straight to the Jin Family Silk Shop.
Jin Weilan waited for a long time. When she saw the Marquis's carriage, she immediately ran out and said with a smile, "You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Jiang Ning took Chun Lan's hand and stepped out of the carriage.
Jin Weilan took Jiang Ning's hand and walked to the silk shop, "Come and take a look."
He took her directly into the warehouse of the silk shop.
Originally, outsiders were not allowed to enter the warehouse, but Jiang Ning was an exception. She invested five thousand taels of silver and was a business partner.
"The Cloud brocade cloth has arrived. I listened to your words and put in ten thousand taels."
When Jiang Ning saw the batches of brocade cloth, her face was slightly startled, and then she smiled lightly. These fabrics will be money in the future.
Jin Weilan looked a little troubled and sighed, "Oh, if I lose this money, my mother will definitely give me an earful."
"Forget it, forget it, it's all invested, it just depends on God's will."
Jiang Ning held Jin Weilan's hand and said, "Don't worry, you won't lose anything."
Jin Weilan actually wanted to refute, saying how could one do business without losing money, but seeing Jiang Ning's calm expression, she couldn't help but swallow all these words and did not say them out.
......
Within a few days, clothes made of Cloud brocade cloth suddenly became fashionable in the capital.
It is said that Concubine Xue made the clothes embroidered with Cloud brocade cloth. The clothes were as thin as cicada wings and looked like silver moon and flowing water when she walked. They were very beautiful.
Fashion suddenly became popular in the capital, and all the ladies wanted to make clothes.
Jin Weilan's eyes lit up after hearing the news.
But more surprising news lies after.
Suddenly, it started to rain continuously in the south of the Yangtze River. The roads were muddy and it was impossible to transport cloth. There was a sudden shortage of brocade cloth in the capital.
Other silk shops did not expect that Cloud brocade cloth would become popular. Now the Jin Family Silk Shop is the only one that has Cloud brocade cloth in stock.
Cloud brocade cloth became rare, and its price tripled.
Jin Weilan was shocked and speechless, "How could it be such a coincidence... I just heard what Miss Jiang said about purchasing Cloud brocade cloth, and the price went up..."
It was as if Jiang Ning had expected it!
"Does Miss Jiang have the ability to predict things? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?"
Jin Weilan was so impressed that she thought Miss Jiang was joking with her at first, but she didn't expect that she was serious about doing business and doing it so well!
She has been in charge of the silk shop for many years, but she is not as discerning as Miss Jiang.
Jin Weilan excitedly went to Jiang Ning for tea.
Jiang Ning went to the silk store to keep an appointment.
Jin Weilan poured her tea herself, staring straight at her, as if she wanted to see through her face.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Jiang Ning felt uncomfortable and touched her face.
Jin Weilan shook her head repeatedly, "No, I'm just too surprised. How did you know that Cloud brocade cloth can make money? In just fifteen days, the price of the Cloud brocade cloth has tripled!"
Jiang Ning smiled faintly, "It's just good luck."
Good luck?
Who is so lucky?
Jin Weilan didn't know what to say. Maybe she was just lucky. Fortunately, she believed Jiang Ning's words and invested a large amount of money in it, and even she benefited from it.
"You invested five thousand taels of silver, and the profit was about fifteen thousand taels. Should I give you a banknote or deposit it in the bank?"
When Jiang Ning heard the real money, her eyebrows curled up and she was in a good mood.
She thought for a while and said, "Five thousand taels are required in banknotes, and the rest can be deposited in the bank."
Ten thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. If it is brought into the Marquis' mansion and someone sees it, it may cause trouble.
"Okay." Jin Weilan agreed and asked the owner of the silk shop to prepare the banknotes.
After Jiang Ning got the banknote, she put it in a wooden box and asked someone to send the wooden box to the Chu family.
She didn't break her promise in one month.
Once you have money, it will be much easier to do things.
Jiang Ning did not return to the Marquis Mansion immediately but went to a restaurant in a dark alley.
In the carriage, Chun Lan opened the curtain and looked at the noisy restaurant not far away. She couldn't help but worry, "Miss... what are we doing here? There are many people making trouble here..."
"Don't worry, I won't go in."
Jiang Ning said calmly and ordered the driver, "Go in and find a man named Yu Er and ask him to come see me." After saying that, she threw a piece of silver over.
The driver took the money and didn't ask any questions. He just did what the lady told him to do honestly.
After a while, the coachman led the man out.
Jiang Ning sat in the carriage and watched from a distance, staring at Yu Er.
The man named Yu Er held a piece of silver tightly in his hand and looked excited. This time he met a rich man!
