Chapter 321: The Aunt's Gift

Zhuang Yan and Zhuang Wei exchanged a glance; they were men, they had fallen into a male misconception, they didn't care about appearance, but women do.

Beauty fades easily, youth does not linger; it is a pain in their hearts, but whoever has the ability would want to delay it as much as possible—who wouldn't?

"Ah, I'm getting old, how did I fall asleep?"

At this moment, Madam Zhuang woke up, instinctively raised her hand and rubbed her temples, but……

"Huh?"

"This time I woke up, and surprisingly it doesn't hurt?"

Her sleep is very short and also very light; every time she wakes up she gets a headache, but this time there is no pain at all.

"This is also part of the massage technique; in fact, the face has many acupoints connected to various parts of the body."

"And just now I massaged my grandmother's face, then while she was resting I massaged her head, which relieved her pain."

"Is it worth it?"

She walked over, helped her grandmother up, then gently asked the two uncles.

"Worth it!"

"I'm convinced, I'm completely convinced." Zhuang Wei couldn't help bursting into laughter, looking at Jiang Yunchu's fox-like expression, he shook his head helplessly.

"Husband, don't laugh, I'm sleepy."

At this moment, the second aunt muttered something, then turned over, surprisingly didn't wake up, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Zhuang Wei stopped laughing, looked at his own wife, smiled helplessly, "Your second aunt likes everything beautiful; if she gets attached to you in the future, don't mind it."

"If you get angry, take it out on your second uncle, just bear with it."

Zhuang Wei worries, worries that Yun chu will get angry, also worries that his own wife will be upset; he can only be stuck in the middle—what can he do? Both sides are people you cannot offend!

"I feel the second aunt is quite adorable, right?"

Jiang Yunchu raised her eyebrows; she prefers interacting with simple people, no need to overthink, just say what's on her mind, no need to guess.

Zhuang Wei let out a breath of relief; he also finds his wife lovely, and being with her makes his heart feel simpler.

"Comfortable, this is too comfortable, Yun chu, this thing is good." The old lady looked at the bronze mirror; her skin was sagging, her eyelids had drooped, and for her the lifting effect was the most noticeable.

Overall, she looks five years younger!

No rouge or powder can achieve this; the prospect of this thing is truly excellent.

"Twenty taels of silver." Zhuang Yan really couldn't hold back, then softly uttered a sentence.

Only Madam Zhuang's expression was very calm; she lightly said, "That's actually reasonable."

Reasonable?

Alright, indeed they don't understand women.

Jiang Yunchu raised her eyebrows; in this aspect, men's gaze and women's are indeed different.

"When will you open the shop? Does the Zhuang Clan need to do anything?" Zhuang Wei asked.

As for sharing a cup of soup, the Zhuang Clan can't do that; their main business is fabrics and finished clothing, which is enough for the Zhuang Clan to stand firm on.

"The shop can be bought, people can be trained, but for the shops here in Zhuang City, profit is split 20-80, the Zhuang Clan takes 20%, I take 80%, how about that?"

Everyone sat together on a bench on one side, a curtain was drawn there, and Feng Xiangxiang was still asleep.

"Yun chu, you don't need to worry about the Zhuang Clan; the Zhuang Clan mainly deals in cloth, which is the foundation of their standing."

Elder Master Zhuang looked at Yun chu, feeling warm inside, but still refused.

Yun chu smiled and said, "I'm not doing this to accommodate the Zhuang Clan, nor for favors."

"But rather……"

"I really need the Zhuang Clan to help me find a shop; I have too few people on hand, and those capable of standing up are even rarer. I come here once every two months, and each trip requires nearly half a month just for travel, wasting too much time on the road."

"Moreover, in Jingdu I also need to constantly look after things, so the time I can be away is even scarcer."

As she said this, she felt somewhat helpless; her business is growing larger and larger, yet she has a sense of being stretched thin.

People!

She needs people!

"We'll help you look after things here, but we can't share the profit." Zhuang Yan shook his head.

Their looking after Yun chu's shop is something these two uncles should do, but it's not a reason for her to share profits.

Is that reasonable?

"Listen to me."

Jiang Yunchu looked at the three children; they are the Zhuang Clan's kids, the eldest she would call big brother, the youngest is already about fourteen or fifteen.

"What I mean is, if the Zhuang Mansion helps for a year or two, that's a favor, but for how many years? It would be better to clarify from the start, so there won't be any dispute over this later."

"Moreover, I will also send a person here, mainly responsible for these people and matters."

She knows everyone's intentions, her shop……

She has longer-term plans; how long can she stay in Jiangnan? The person looking after things here the most is still the Zhuang Clan's people, but over time many things change.

"Let's listen to Yun chu."

Seeing Zhuang Wei still wanting to say something, Madam Zhuang directly put down her teacup and settled the matter.

For the shop here, you don't need to buy it; the people you train can go straight into the shop.

"Yun chu, grandmother knows your meaning, but after all it's our own family, no need to be so calculating."

Jiang Yunchu looked at everyone in the Zhuang Clan; even in the eldest aunt's eyes there was no hint of calculation, just sincerity.

She gave a light smile, then nodded, "Okay."

On the day before her departure, she went to look at the sandy ground, as well as several manors.

"Yuner, be careful on the road, rest when you should."

Grandmother kept giving instructions bit by bit, her face full of worry and reluctance.

「Yun'er, second aunt thought for a long time, didn't know what to give you, nothing is good to bring, directly gave you bank notes, you keep them. 」

Feng Xiangxiang took a parcel, the bank notes were all wrapped inside, no one knew how many bank notes she had placed.

Jiang Yunchu was not polite, directly took it over; these past few days, regarding the personalities of the eldest aunt and second aunt, she had gained some understanding.

The second aunt is just childlike at heart; her thoughts are pure and simple—she likes what she likes, dislikes what she dislikes, and never hides her feelings.

「Yun'er, take these. 」

At this time, the eldest aunt also gave her a parcel, her face slightly flushed, 'The eldest aunt didn't give anything else; these are clothes I made myself—wear them if you like, give them away if you don't.'

Jiang Yunchu shook her head, 'Except for Xiu Niang, I only have clothes made by the maidservants; this is the first time an elder has made clothes for me, thank you, eldest aunt.'

Wu Hualing, although timid, could hold steady the position of Grand Madam, not without reason.

She is timid, yet relies heavily on her eldest uncle, never making decisions on her own.

The Zhuang Clan does not need an overly clever mistress, but neither can she be too foolish.
