Ouyang Yunyao had just returned to Yaoxin Pavilion and hadn't even sat down when she heard a familiar voice coming from outside the courtyard gate: "Yao'er!"

Xiao Cui, who was following behind her, said, "Princess, the Second Young Master is here."

"Yeah." Ouyang Yunyao turned and walked to the door, and saw her second brother Ouyang Yunxiang and a servant walking into the yard.

Ouyang Yunyao was delighted and walked over to him, smiling and saying, "Second brother, why are you here?"

"I'm here to bring you something." Ouyang Yunxiang followed Ouyang Yunyao into the room, walked to the table with a smile on his face and sat down.

The servant behind him followed in carefully, holding two heavy wooden boxes in his hands.

The servant respectfully called out "Princess" and gently placed the wooden box on the table. After placing it properly, he retreated to the corridor outside the door and stood with his hands hanging down.

At the same time, Ouyang Yunyao's maids Xiao Cui, Xia Yan, and Xia Fei also hurriedly saluted Ouyang Yunxiang and said in unison: "This servant greets the Second Young Master."

Afterwards, they quickly poured a cup of tea for Ouyang Yunxiang and Ouyang Yunyao, placed it in front of them, and then quietly retreated to the door.

They knew that the second young master must have something to say to the princess.

Ouyang Yunyao's eyes fell on the two wooden boxes on the table. She looked at her second brother with a puzzled look on her face: "Second brother, what are these?"

Ouyang Yunxiang looked at his sister, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, a smile stained his lips, and he said gently: "Yao'er, open it and take a look."

Curious, Ouyang Yunyao pulled both wooden boxes toward her. She opened one first, her eyes lighting up as she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, so many banknotes!" The box was filled with neatly stacked banknotes.

She couldn't wait to open another box, only to find that it was also full of banknotes. On top of the box lay a emerald green hairpin, which was exquisitely carved and very beautiful.

Ouyang Yunyao was completely bewildered. She looked up at her second brother with confusion, "Second brother, what's going on?"

The three maids standing at the door heard Ouyang Yunyao's exclamation. They stood on tiptoe and saw the silver bills in the wooden box. They looked at each other in shock.

Ouyang Yunxiang looked at his sister's reaction and laughed even more happily: "Yao'er, these are all earned from your shop."

When Ouyang Yunyao heard this, she looked through the banknotes in the box and found that the denominations of these banknotes were all one thousand taels and five hundred taels.

She couldn't help but look at Ouyang Yunxiang in surprise: "Second brother, is this possible? Don't try to fool me, how could it be possible to earn so much?"

Although she was not very familiar with business, she knew that it was impossible for the three shops to earn so much in less than a year.

Ouyang Yunxiang pointed at the first box she opened and smiled slightly: "There are 20,000 taels of silver in it. They are the profits of your three shops this year."

Ouyang Yunyao asked again, "Second brother, are you sure? I only gave you three shops, and I've only been letting you run them since May. How could you possibly make so much money?"

Ouyang Yunyao couldn't believe it. Although she was smart and knew everything, she knew nothing about business.

She really didn't know how much silver a shop could earn in a year in ancient times. In her impression, if a shop could earn a few thousand taels a year, that was already very good.

She opened the hot pot restaurant not to make money, but just to gather information and take in some people so they could have something to do.

She had never expected the hot pot restaurant to be so popular. The main reason for the hot pot restaurant's good business was its uniqueness, and also because the hot pot base and many of the seasonings were modern recipes from the 23rd century, which she had taken out from the space, and they tasted delicious.

"It means your second brother is good at business!" She was thinking about it when Ouyang Yunxiang's words brought her back to her senses.

Then her second brother said, "Yao'er, there are so many, there must be no mistake. The managers of your three shops have all taken care of the calculations."

Ouyang Yunyao looked at him with golden eyes and gave him a thumbs up: "Second brother, you are so capable now. Our Ouyang family depends on you!"

Ouyang Yunxiang reached out and flicked her forehead, then scolded her with a smile, "You're such a chatterbox."

Ouyang Yunyao touched the spot where he had hit her and rolled her eyes. Then she pointed at another wooden box and said, "Second brother, what's going on here?"

Ouyang Yunxiang explained, "I carved this jade hairpin myself and gave it to you."

Ouyang Yunyao was stunned for a moment, then remembered something. She picked up the jade hairpin, looked at it carefully, and exclaimed, "Second brother, your carving skills are getting better and better. This carving is so exquisite! I like it. Thank you, second brother."

Only then did Ouyang Yunyao remember from the original owner's memory that her second brother often carved things for her.

"Then what's the matter with this silver note?" Ouyang Yunyao asked, pointing at the silver note under the hairpin.

"Here are 30,000 taels of silver notes. This is your reward."

"A reward for me? Why?" Ouyang Yunyao asked with her eyes wide open, pointing at herself with a confused look on her face.

Ouyang Yunxiang couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ouyang Yunyao's confused look.

He shook his head and thought, such a lovely sister, no matter how he looked at it, he could not believe that she could run to Beiyue to steal war horses and weapons, and even go with Prince Jing and others to eliminate pirates.

So he looked at her with doting eyes and said with a smile: "Yaoyao, this is a reward for you."

Then he continued, "Yao'er, you don't know, the jade you got from Nanchu, and the things you gave to my second brother this year, have made our shop's business very prosperous. This year, our family has made a lot of money. This box of banknotes is a reward from my second brother."

Ouyang Yunyao heard what his second brother said and said happily, "Really? That's great! Thank you, second brother!"

Ouyang Yunyao was no longer polite to her brother.

She knew that her family was not short of money anyway, and she still had jade in her space, and the things in the warehouse could continue to make money for her second brother.

Ouyang Yunyao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Second brother, have you decided what to run the shop we bought in the border town last time?"

"Yao'er, I was just about to tell you about this." Ouyang Yunxiang said as he took out a stack of papers from his arms and put them on the table.

He spread out the paper covered with words and pictures, stood up and placed it in front of Ouyang Yunyao, and explained it to her one by one.

Ouyang Yunyao nodded her head as she listened. She admired her second brother's business acumen very much.

After listening, she raised her eyes and said, "Second brother, are you ready to go with us this time?"

"Well, it's just right that I can go with you this time and open all these shops immediately."

"That's good. We may set off in a few days." Ouyang Yunyao nodded.

The two talked for a long time before Ouyang Yunxiang left Yaoxin Pavilion.
