The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

The imperial edict was issued to the Xu Mansion, but it spread throughout the capital.

They say everything. Some say that there is something wrong with the tutoring in the Xu family, which is why two evil men killed their sisters. Others say that the Xu family’s luck was sucked away by the eldest daughter. Otherwise, why would the eldest daughter become engaged to Marquis Weiyuan? She herself was promoted step by step, but the entire Xu family was in decline, and a murder almost occurred.

Xiao Ling'er and Duan Shanshan were afraid that these rumors would affect Xu Rongrong, so they made an appointment with Ning Yuyuan to come to Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

But they didn't expect that Xu Rongrong didn't mind what the outside world said.

"Just let them talk. It's their words that are wasted."

Since Ning Yuyuan returned to the capital with her father, Marquis Wuling, she has often been teased by noble ladies in the capital because of her accent and skin color. At this time, she felt sad: "But Sister Xu is now the head mistress of the Marquis's house, and she will be indispensable in the future." Socializing with the nobles in the capital...if you let others misunderstand you, I'm afraid you will have to listen to some gossip when you are dating."

Xu Rongrong said with a smile: "What day is there no gossip in the capital? I haven't seen anyone being blown to death by the wind... If those people are willing to talk behind their backs, just let them talk. I can't hear it anyway. If anyone really If she dares to say it in front of me, then I respect her as a good man."

Seeing her being so open-minded, both Xiao Ling'er and Duan Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Yuyuan, on the other hand, looked at her with envy: "It would be great if I could give 10% or 20% of Sister Xu's courage to me."

Seeing the slightly disappointed look in the little girl's eyes, Xu Rongrong pinched her face and said, "The same goes for you. You are the apple of Marquis Wuling's eye. Your father loves and protects you, and he did not let you return to the capital to be bullied. Those Any woman in the capital who dares to ridicule you to your face must not have been taught by aristocratic families, you just need to retaliate, once or twice, no one will dare to bully you again."

Ning Yuyuan pursed her lips: "But... I'm not good at speaking in Mandarin, so I can't speak to them."

Xu Rongrong smiled: "Just scold them in Fuhai dialect. The most important thing in a quarrel is the momentum. Do you care if they can understand it?"

The other three girls tilted their heads and thought for a moment, and that was really what they meant.

The hall burst into laughter.

The few people had been arguing for a long time, and when they saw that Xu Rongrong really didn't care about the rumors from the outside world, Xiao Ling'er and the others left with peace of mind.

After sending away several girls, Wen Yao couldn't help but sigh.

On the day Xu Rongrong returned home, she felt unwell due to Kuishui's menarche, so she did not accompany her young lady back to the Xu Mansion. What happened in the mansion that day was what Luo Shu told her after he came back. While she was amazed at her young lady's quick reaction, she was also despised by the behavior of everyone in the Xu mansion.

Now, she began to worry about her young lady again: "Register of Qulan County? Isn't that an official from the ninth rank? I have always been good-looking, but being suddenly demoted to this position, I wonder if it will do something wrong to you, young lady?" Nao Jing! And if the two young ladies of the Xu Mansion are reprimanded by His Majesty in this way, their future reputation... I don’t know if it will affect you."

A woman's reputation will most likely affect the entire clan.

Xu Rongrong looked at Wen Yao's frowning face and poked her forehead: "You have to remember that the moment I left the gate of Xu Mansion, we had nothing to do with it. I agreed to my father's request out of love, no. Promising is my duty... What's more, he was demoted by His Majesty's decree. Even if I fall out with him, who would dare to say a word against me to his face? As for whether I will be burdened by my reputation..."

Xu Rongrong patted the newly arranged wooden box on the table: "With these in hand, what do I care about those false claims?"

The box contains the banknotes that Luo Chen just sent.

Coupled with her previous accumulation, she had enough banknotes to fill an entire box.

Under the pseudonym "Tao Gong" of Xu Rongrong, five businesses are booming:

She alone handles the medicinal materials and porcelain business.

Her medicine shop in the eight alleys of Beijing, where land is at a premium, has grown to four rooms. As the climate and seasons change, the shop always has medicinal materials that are most suitable for the moment. In Jiangnan, under Luo Chen's operation, a fourth drug store has opened this month.

The porcelain shop acquired from Xu Chaoqian is booming with customers every day in the current border trade environment, and the orders placed by foreign businessmen from Luming Street have been extended until next September!

These two items alone are enough for them to have a worry-free life as master and servant.

not to mention……

Previously, she only operated a drug store and not a medical clinic because she did not understand medical skills. But now, with Shu Qing as a helper, the medical clinic's business has begun to flourish. Despite Shu Qing's repeated refusals, she still insists on a 50-50 split with him. After all... only she knows how much Shu Qing's true value is! The "medical cure" in his previous life is now gaining momentum in Beijing. This man in his forties, who has been decadent for half his life, is finally going to return to his life path.

Next, is the music studio in Pinyue Square. In just over a month, Luo Xiao has taken care of everything in order, and even booked half of the long private rooms! The accounts submitted at the beginning of the month were enough to make Xu Rongrong admire him.

There is also a new business, which is tea that Luo Chen has longed for... After learning about his idea, Xu Rongrong did not hesitate to support him with five thousand taels. After several months of operation, he has indeed lived up to Xu Rongrong's expectations. The small box that was delivered just now contained the division of tea leaves.

Xu Rongrong split the income from these three areas 50-50 with others. She trusted their abilities, their character, and even more so her own vision.

Her character is to be steady and steady. Until she recruits more suitable talents, she will not expand the store's business to new items for the time being.

She set her sights in other directions...

For example, form a caravan!

Border trade reopens...

The cross-border business of silk was changed from official operation to private operation...

These are great temptations for Xu Rongrong.

The Fuhai Pearl that made the capital famous in the past life will soon be mined, but today's Fuhai is still in a wild and desolate state. Otherwise, Ning Yuyuan, the daughter of Marquis Wuling, would not be ridiculed for her accent and skin color by the noble daughter of the capital. If you want to profit from Fuhai Pearl, forming a caravan is the best way.

What's more, there are silks, porcelain and medicinal materials. With her own caravan, she doesn't have to worry about delivery and quality.

Over the past few days, Luo Chen has recruited more than twenty suitable people and signed them under the name of "Tao Gong".

Some of them are bodyguards, some have been in business for three generations, and some are simple and experienced farmers...

In addition to sending banknotes and account books today, Luo Chen also brought the names of these people to Xu Rongrong for review.
