At the entrance of the alley stood a handsome young man, it was Yunyou.

The beggars came forward to report.

"Boss, the news has been leaked to them. It seems that the woman has fainted from anger."

Yunyou had a sneer on his face.

"You guys are doing great, go do your thing!"

He threw a purse into the arms of one of the beggars and turned away.

The good show should start soon.

After leaving Xiangshun Lane, Yunyou did not go directly back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but took a detour to a cosmetics shop.

After buying everything, he returned home.

My grandfather went to court, and my grandmother was drinking tea in the pavilion.

Yunyou took a few steps forward and bowed.

"Grandma."

Madam Qu nodded with a smile.

Now she has guessed Yunyou's true identity, but Jinniang didn't tell her, so she pretended not to know and continued to treat him as Jinniang's adopted son.

After all, an adopted son is still a son, and he calls her grandmother. There is no difference.

Anyway, she was becoming more and more satisfied with Yunyou.

He is filial, good at speaking, and has a natural warm smile. Any sweet words he says do not make people feel hypocritical, but rather make people feel comfortable.

It is many times better than that fake one.

Moreover, apart from other things, although Wen Zehai was not a good person, his appearance was one of the best in the capital. Therefore, among his children, except for the third one, the eldest and the second one were all excellent and handsome young men.

After the second brother washed and tidied himself up, he looked even better than the eldest, and his peach blossom eyes seemed to be affectionate when he looked at everyone.

Who wouldn’t like such a handsome, filial and sweet-talking grandson?

"Where have you been so early in the morning?" asked Mrs. Qu.

Yunyou took out the bag from his body and spread it out on the stone table in the pavilion.

Old Madam Qu looked in the direction of Yunyou's movements, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"These are rouge and rouge... Why did you buy these things?"

"I don't know how to use rouge, but I heard my grandmother mention it yesterday, saying that her own rouge was not very useful, so I went to look for these."

Madam Qu looked pleased.

"It's rare that you're thoughtful. I just mentioned it, and you took it to heart."

Yuan Shi, who was standing next to her, smiled and said, "Mom, this is not just ordinary rouge and lipstick. This is the most fashionable style nowadays, and it comes from the largest rouge shop in the capital. The ones Yunyou picked are all in short supply. My wife ran out of lip balm the day before yesterday and wanted to get some more, but was told that it was sold out and asked me to go back later. Later, my wife sent people to buy it several times, but they couldn't find any."

Mrs. Qu was even more surprised.

The thing that Yuanshi lacked the least was silver, but even she couldn't buy it, which shows how hard it was to buy and how rare it was.

"Brother You, your kindness will be remembered by your grandmother."

Yunyou didn't show any pride on his face, he just said respectfully: "This is what my grandson should do."

These things are hard to buy and hard to get for others, but they are not difficult for him.

He had already sent brothers from the Beggar Gang to wait at the city gate, and they would report to him immediately as soon as the goods were delivered to the rouge shop.

As soon as the carriage entered the city gate, he got the news and naturally acted faster than others.

After Yunyou finished speaking, he looked at Yuanshi and said, "Yunyou also bought one for your aunt and asked the servants to deliver it to your courtyard."

Yuan couldn't help herself from joy.

"I didn't expect that I would have a share. I really benefited from my mother's help today."

Old Madam Qu laughed.

"correct."

Madam Qu suddenly remembered something and asked Yunyou, "I heard from your grandfather that you don't want to be a writer, but want to do business?"

"Yes."

"Have you thought it through? In our Ming Dynasty, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, businessmen have the lowest status. With your talent and intelligence, if you study hard, you may not fail to pass the imperial examination."

"My grandson has thought it through. He likes studying, but he likes doing business even more. To put it bluntly, he just likes making money. Studying and becoming an official is not Yunyou's first priority."

Moreover, he also knew that with his straightforward personality, he was not suitable to be an official.

Once he entered the officialdom, he would definitely point out things that he didn't like.

This is not an advantage for being an official.

Yunyou spoke very directly, and Madam Qu was speechless.

"Now that you have thought it through, then you should study business well in the future. Grandma doesn't understand those things. Grandma just wants you to be happy and safe."

Yunyou was slightly stunned.

Does grandma... know his identity?

But if you change your mind, you won’t be bothered by this problem anymore.

Regardless of whether he was an adopted son or Qu's biological son, his grandmother treated him equally well.

What does it matter whether you know his identity or not?

"Then Yunyou will take his leave."

Yunyou bowed to the two of them and was about to leave when Yuanshi suddenly called him.

"Traveling."

"What do you want, aunt?"

Yuanshi put down the teacup in her hand and took out a jade pendant from her sleeve pocket.

When Madam Qu saw the jade pendant, her eyes widened slightly.

This is something that represents Yuanshi's identity card. With this jade pendant, one can use all the farms and shops owned by Yuanshi at will.

You know, Yuan's parents loved her very much as their only daughter, and gave her almost 80% of the Yuan family's shops.

Whoever takes this jade pendant will be in control of the entire Yuan family's property.

"Why did you take out such a precious thing?" Mrs. Qu asked in confusion.

Yuanshi smiled slightly and was not in a hurry to explain, but asked Yunyou to step forward two steps.

When Yunyou walked forward, Yuanshi stuffed the jade pendant directly into Yunyou's hand.

Yunyou had also heard of this jade pendant, and seeing it was like seeing Yuanshi herself.

"Aunt, what are you doing...?"

Yuan smiled and said:

"My mother's family has been doing business for generations, and they are considered to be well-known wealthy merchants in Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, there are few descendants. In my case, my parents only gave birth to me, a daughter."

"It's OK that I'm a girl, but I'm not cut out for business. I only like to do needlework and know nothing about business. And your second uncle is an official and doesn't like business."

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. These shops are not as prosperous as they used to be when they came into my hands."

"It just so happens that I heard that you like doing business and are smart, so I thought of letting you help me manage my farm and shops. It would be a good opportunity for you to gain some experience instead of talking about business with your grandfather all day long."

"This... this jade pendant is too valuable, and Yunyou is a novice in business, so I dare not accept it rashly."

Yuan laughed.

"What's the big deal? The worst that can happen is that I'll just lose money! I'll give you half a year. If you lose money, I won't say a word to you. If you make money, I'll give you 20% and you'll be my boss from now on. How about that?"

Yunyou's throat rolled up and down, and he felt a little shaken in his heart.

Two percent...

That's much more than what my fourth sister gave.

But this is my aunt's dowry. Is it appropriate for him to manage it?

Yunyou hesitated for a moment and looked at Old Madam Qu, wanting to hear what she had to say.

Unexpectedly, before Madam Qu could open her mouth, Yuan Shi frowned first.
