Chapter 484 Master, she is only 2 years old
Lin Wanwan kept nodding her head. She almost vomited from drinking milk in the past two years.
She was halfway through eating Buddha Jumps Over the Wall when she felt too full to move: "Brother Si Nian, I'm full..."
Gu Sinian directly picked up the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that she had eaten and started eating it. Zhang Quande swallowed his saliva.
Yesterday, his master was a mysophobe. When a maid was tasting a dish, her chopsticks accidentally touched the dish next to it, so he asked her to take it away.
Today... you can even eat the little girl's saliva?
After eating and drinking, Gu Sinian looked at her and said, "Wanwan, does this jewel bracelet look good? My father gave it to me, and I thought it would look good on you."
Gu Sinian put the bracelet directly on Lin Wanwan's hand. The size was just right.
This bracelet is adorned with pigeon blood rubies, aquamarines, emeralds and moonstones. Because the size was wrong, Gu Sinian specially asked the craftsman to modify it and adjust the length of the bracelet to fit her wrist perfectly.
Lin Wanwan looked at the bracelet and said, "Brother Si Nian, you are so kind. You should go back to the palace, right?"
Gu Sinian looked at her and said:
"Well, I can't stay too late, or the palace gates will be locked. I'll come see you tomorrow.
Also, I have a lot of banknotes now, but I don’t know how to manage them. How about Wanwan help me with the accounting?"
Zhang Quande said anxiously: "Master, she...she is only two years old..."
Gu Sinian gave him a cold look, and Zhang Quande shuddered with fear: "But the princess looks smart and sensible, so...it will definitely not be a problem."
Gu Sinian directly took out a lot of banknotes and stuffed them into Lin Wanwan's pockets, saying, "Keep all of these..."
Lin Wanwan blinked: "No... Brother Si Nian... Hey! So many banknotes..."
She counted them and there were twelve in total, all worth ten thousand taels. Lin Wanwan said helplessly, "I'm convinced. He suddenly gave me so much money and asked me to manage his accounts. It's so annoying!"
Zhi smiled and said, "Miss, isn't this a good thing? Don't you like money the most?"
Lin Wanwan sighed and said:
"Zhiwei, you don't understand. You can't just mess around with this money. You have to figure out how to make money. I can do business now.
I can use this money and my own money to start a business. What kind of business do you think is good?"
Zhiwei was stunned: "Miss, this really embarrasses me. I don't know what to do."
Yue Jin ate the snacks and said, "Miss, the snacks in the imperial kitchen are so delicious..."
Zhiwei sighed and said, "Yuejin, why are you still acting like a child? Can we eat this snack?"
Lin Wanwan looked at Yue Jin with a half-smile and said, "Isn't she just a child? I remember Yue Jin's maternal family is also in the capital. Do you want to go and see them?"
Yuejin is Su Mingyue who was rescued at the beginning. She also has a brother named Su Xingchen, and their grandfather is Su Wancai.
Su Wancai was born into a poor family and worked as a laborer at the Bianhe Canal Transport Terminal when he was young.
When he was sixteen, he encountered an accident. Despite the turbulent river, he tried his best to save the daughter of a Huizhou merchant who had accidentally fallen into the water.
This life-saving grace not only allowed him to marry a beautiful woman, but also gained the support of his father-in-law's family, allowing him to get involved in the canal transportation business.
After marriage, Su Wancai gradually mastered the art of water transport with his shrewd mind and extraordinary courage.
He started with the most basic tasks of escorting ships and dispatching, personally visited various docks, and became familiar with every aspect of water transportation.
With accurate market judgment and swift and decisive measures, he continued to expand his fleet, gradually monopolizing nearly two-thirds of Bianliang's water transport routes, and became an influential figure in the water transport industry.
After achieving success in his career, Su Wancai and his wife had two sons and one daughter.
The eldest son, Su Mingyuan, was intelligent since childhood and was trained to inherit the family business.
The second son, Su Mingchen, is passionate about carpentry, while the youngest daughter, Arou, is innocent and often plays with her father at the dock.
After Su Wancai became rich, he used ruthless means in the canal transport business. Not only did he buy out two-thirds of the canal transport routes in Bianjing, he also squeezed the livelihood of his peers through secret operations, thus making many enemies.
They took advantage of the chaos at the dock on a rainy night and kidnapped eight-year-old Arou, attempting to use this to force Su Wancai to withdraw from the canal shipping business.
In the end, Arou was pushed off the dock and disappeared.
After Lin Wanwan returned home, she called Su Xingchen in and said:
"Su Xingchen, this is what happened in your grandpa's family. Your mother was pushed into the river.
It’s up to you whether you want to stay here or go back to the Su family.”
Su Xingchen thought for a moment and said:
"I want to take my sister back to visit them. If they are nice people, we can become another relative.
If they are unwilling to accept me and my sister, then we will never have any contact with each other again."
Su Xingchen also had his considerations. Although Lin Wanwan was very good to them, if they returned to the Su family, it would be like having relatives.
What's more, before their mother died, she asked them to return to the Su family.
Lin Wanwan nodded and said, "Then you and Yuejin can go. But don't wear such nice clothes..."
"Okay, thank you, Miss." Su Xingchen looked at her and said.
Lin Wanwan smiled and said:
“If I can go back to the Su family, I will no longer be your lady.
Regardless of whether you can go back or not, I will always consider you my friends. There is no indenture between us, and you will always be free."
Su Xingchen shook her head and said, "You saved our lives. You will always be our lady."
The next day, Su Xingchen and Su Mingyue went directly to the Su Mansion. The vermilion lacquered door slowly opened in the morning mist, and eight strong men in dark blue brocade shorts stood on both sides.
Su Mingyue tugged at Su Xingchen's sleeve and said, "Brother, we have nice clothes, why are we wearing coarse linen clothes?"
“If we come to recognize our relatives wearing gold and silver, they will welcome us with smiles, but they are just coveting our respectability.
But if they are willing to accept me wearing this, it means they are really good to us." Su Xingchen tugged at the patch on his shoulder.
"But what if they look down on us?"
Su Xingchen smiled calmly and said, "We still have the young lady. Didn't the young lady say that she will always be our retreat?"
Su Mingyue pouted and said, "Brother, I really don't understand why we have to go back to the Su family? It's so nice to stay with the young lady. The young lady treats me well."
Su Xingchen sighed and said:
"I know the young lady is kind to us, but we are just living under someone else's roof there.
I want to pass the imperial examination, and if you want to find a good family in the future, you must return to the Su Mansion."
Su Mingyue scratched her head and said, "Find a good family? Brother, why do you have so many ideas?"
Su Xingchen looked at her and said, "You! You're still too young."
"But what about the young lady? Will I be unable to serve you in the future? I don't want to..." Su Mingyue's eyes were red.
Su Xingchen flicked her little head and said, "You, what are you thinking about every day! If the Su family can accept us, you can still see the young lady often in the future."
