Chapter 83 Respect is worse than obedience

"Waiter, you are so good at your mouth! This is what our ladies reward you!"

Fangchun took out some broken silver and handed it to Xiaoer. Xiaoer was very grateful.

Xue Jiangli looked at He Yuan, held his chin, and met his gaze and couldn't help asking.

"Big cousin, look at my third shop, which is already so prosperous. There will be a fourth and fifth shops in the future! Our family doesn't have to do anything, just looking at the shop can survive well."

After all, Xue Jiangli is a person who lives for a lifetime and remembers many things in his previous life clearly.

If you want to make some money, it’s not a matter of minutes!

The implication is that He Yuan is still persuading him, hoping that he can leave the ninth prince as soon as possible and live a peaceful life regardless of the affairs of the court.

He Yuan must have understood.

But he thought that he had not heard the words behind him and responded with a smile: "There is no woman in Jincheng who is more capable than you. I feel relieved."

Xue Jiangli was not here to ask for praise.

She sat upright and showed it more clearly.

"Big cousin, do you still not understand what I mean? I hope you can let go of the matter with the ninth prince as soon as possible."

No matter who the final prince is, no matter how the emperor wants to move the position of crown prince, it has nothing to do with him!

But He Yuan suddenly pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve.

A pair of mandarin ducks are embroidered on the handkerchief, which is a double-sided embroidery in Qingzhou. It is so ingenious that it makes people surprised.

Xue Jiangli's attention was successfully diverted: "What is this?"

He Yuan spoke.

"This is embroidered by my mother, I want to give her to you."

"Did my aunt embroider? Then why give it to me?"

Xue Jiangli was puzzled, but he couldn't help but like this handkerchief.

She is proficient in embroidery and has infinite admiration for such exquisite embroidery.

However, He Yuan chuckled and spoke.

"This is something from my daughter's house. It's no different to keeping it by your side than to me. Just treat it as a gift."

Xue Jiangli liked the sudden gift very much.

But when she saw the picture of the mandarin duck, she felt a special premonition in her heart.

I wanted to ask, but I was embarrassed to ask directly.

After all, my eldest cousin is like my second cousin, treating me like a real sister. If I break the awkward window paper, I still don’t know how the other party will laugh at me.

When Xue Jiangli thought of this, he accepted it calmly.

"Since it's a gift from my cousin, I'm better obey my duty than respect."

Her eyebrows and eyes were curved. He Yuan watched her carefully fold the handkerchief into her purse, and his eyes became deeper.

After a day, the visitors and income from the Shushufang were unprecedentedly high.

After the market closed, Xue Jiangli decisively took out all the income and distributed it to the people who helped her work hard for a day.

They were shocked and expressed their gratitude to Xue Jiangli.

"Miss Four is too generous. We can't afford to have so much money!"

"Yes, Miss Four, we all understand your feelings. I am very grateful if you can give us a place to make money. You must not accept these silver."

Xue Jiangli disagreed: "This is what you deserve."

"Businessmen should rely on their conscience. If you are really grateful to me, you will help me take care of the shop more in the future. You will earn more and give it to you more. Let's get rich together!"

These words shocked those people very much. They were full of motivation and clenched their fists and shouted: "Don't worry, Miss Four! We will definitely give our all."

Xue Jiangli returned to the carriage and saw her big cousin staring at her deeply with her eyes. She coughed lightly and touched her face: "Is there anything on my face? My big cousin stared at me like this?"

He Yuan smiled and praised without any concealment: "I am afraid I am sorry for the shopkeepers who follow you if I don't become the leader of the wealthy businessmen in Jincheng."

After saying that, Xue Jiangli couldn't help laughing.

It seems that when he came back from Yan Chi, his cousin became more smiling, especially when he was with him.

This is not only discovered by Xue Jiangli, but also Fangchun, who often follows Xue Jiangli.

After returning to the room, Fangchun whispered to her.

"Miss, do you think the eldest son seems to have changed a little?"

"How do you say this?"

"In the past, the eldest son didn't say anything but laughed, even in front of his wife and the others, but he was different to you."

As Fangchun spoke, her eyes became meaningful.

Xue Jiangli realized something and quickly interrupted: "It's getting late, so I'll take a break soon. If I say that the bookstore is too busy tomorrow, I'll expect you to find a few more people to go there."

There are many people today, so she didn't go to listen to the scene in person. If she has time tomorrow, she would have to be the listener.

As the reputation fermented a day, everyone in Jincheng knew that Dongcheng City had opened a bookstore, and Mr. Liu personally took charge of it. Those verbians spoke the words vividly, which made people excited!

The more you spread, the more curious it becomes.

Early the next morning, as soon as the market opened, the entrance of the bookstore was already full of people.

And this bookstore has also been heard by some young ladies from aristocratic families.

Miss Pei, the only daughter of Grandmaster, took advantage of the opportunity to go to the prime minister's mansion to tell Xue Lanzhi the news.

"Lan Zhi, have you heard that we opened a bookstore in Jincheng?"

"Shushufang?"

At this time, Xue Lanzhi was sitting in the middle of the yard, concentrating on playing the piano.

She has been preparing for the palace banquet at the beginning of next month for a long time.

During these days, she almost never left the door.

She must seize this hard-won opportunity to marry the powerful and powerful in the palace. Her grandfather even told her that it would be great if she could marry the prince.

Xue Lanzhi's goal is the ninth prince who is the dragon and phoenix among people.

Especially when Xue Jiangxi seemed to have extraordinary thoughts towards the Ninth Prince, she wanted to take the Ninth Prince even more!

Xue Jiangli, even if you are prosperous among the people, so what? No matter how you say it, you are just a village woman!

By then, she will become the imperial concubine, what will she compare with herself?!

Thinking of this, Xue Lanzhi couldn't help but smile sarcastically.

After so many years, every time she won, the final result is undoubtedly that she will only disappear in her eyes forever and in the prime minister’s mansion forever!

"Lan Zhi?"

Seeing that she had no reaction, Miss Pei reached out to shake her.

Seeing this, Xue Lanzhi quickly recovered: "What did you just say?"

Pei Yuanyuan said again: "Mr. Liu found some ventriloquists and performed all his words, which was so good! Many people in Jincheng said they wanted to go and see them. I also wanted to go and see them today, so I asked my servants to queue up! Are you going with me later?"

Xue Lanzhi was about to refuse, but Xue Zhiyu came to them with his eyebrows raised.

He smiled and said, "Miss Pei is well-informed. I also heard the storyteller. If the fifth sister is interested, I am willing to go with the fifth sister."
