After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Xiao Minshen saw the angry emperor striding into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, your son, pays respect to you. I am here to see you so late because I have something important to report to you."

After saying this, he took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve pocket and presented them to the emperor.

"I caught a thief today, and this is what I found on him."

After all, the emperor was knowledgeable and could see the clues at a glance.

"Damn it! Someone actually leaked the imperial examination questions! Where is that person? I want to interrogate him personally!" The emperor was furious.

"I have detained the man in the Patrol Department. I came here late at night for another matter."

Xiao Minshen told the emperor what Shen Yunjin had said, combined with some of his own ideas.

"Great, Lao Wu, you are worthy of being my child!"

The emperor clapped his hands in praise, and walked down from the dragon table, helping Xiao Minshen up with both hands.

He looked Xiao Minshen up and down. This son of his was still as intelligent as he was when he was a child.

It's just a pity...

"In your opinion, who would be the best person to handle this matter?"

Xiao Minshen didn't hear the temptation in the emperor's words, "I haven't thought about this."

"If you must recommend someone, I think the Crown Prince is a good choice."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, thinking that Xiao Minshen would recommend himself.

After all, he was the one who discovered this thing and he was the one who came up with the idea.

He weighed the pros and cons in his mind and nodded in agreement with Xiao Minshen's statement.

The prince's tutor is a man of profound knowledge. He has studied all the examination questions of previous dynasties, and he is the most authoritative person in setting the questions.

"What do you want your father to reward you with?" the emperor asked generously.

"Your son only has a small request." Hearing this, the emperor relaxed his expression.

He said it, how could Xiao Minshen have nothing to ask for?

"Do you want to get involved? I allow it!" The emperor waved his hand happily.

"Father, I want to use my shop as a sales point for the imperial court."

"That's it? Don't you want to get involved?" The emperor was curious.

"Today's incident was all thanks to my concubine. She saw the contents and told me the secrets behind it."

"She also told me that the royal family could handle this matter. She thought that it would not only benefit the students, but also enrich the national treasury."

"Everything I have was given by my father, so I have nothing to ask for, but I want to ask for some favors for my concubine, so that she can earn some money for cosmetics."

"Oh? I remember your concubine is the second daughter of Mr. Shen? I think her name is Shen Yunjin?"

"Replying to Father, yes."

The emperor stroked his beard with his hand and said, "Mr. Shen has given birth to a good daughter."

"From what you said, Shen Yunjin is well-versed in poetry and literature?"

"I don't know about this, but I heard her say that she loved reading since she was a child, and her father-in-law often discussed his views with her."

Mr. Shen was henpecked and had only two daughters. This was no secret in the capital.

"What a pity, I'm not a man..."

The emperor thought, maybe it was just a coincidence? How much knowledge can a girl have?

"I agree. I'll give you two places. Bring her to the palace some other day and let the emperor see her."

After saying this, the emperor walked happily towards the harem. The atmosphere just now was already in place, and he was going to continue with his original plan.

But now, he is more confident.

It was only a few days later that Shen Yunjin found out that Xiao Minshen had secured places for her in two royal shops.

She couldn't hold back at that moment, so she rushed over, hugged Xiao Minshen and kissed him.

Then, leaving Xiao Minshen standing there in a daze, he called Jinzhi to go and count his dowry.

Because of Shen Yunjin's strong demands before marriage, Shen's mother finally gave her two shops and two farms as a dowry.

One of them is a bookstore, but it is in a bad location and its business is very slow, and it is on the verge of collapse.

The farm in Xiaoqingshan is okay, but the other farm is a large barren mountain and barren land around it where nothing can be harvested.

The dowry that Shen's father asked Aunt Li to transfer to Shen Yunjin also included several shops, farms and houses.

One of the shops has a good location, right on East Street, and it is a pastry shop.

Opposite the shop is the intersection leading to the Imperial College.

Shen Yunjin was going to check out the pastry shop, so she did it right away and asked Jinzhi to go to the front door to call a taxi.

Xiao Minshen looked at the busy Shen Yunjin and his face became darker and darker.

Has his concubine forgotten that he is still here?

After giving the order, Shen Yunjin turned around and saw Xiao Minshen, whose face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

She came over carefully, "My Lord, how about going out for a walk together?"

"Yes." After saying that, Xiao Minshen stood up and walked out.

Shen Yunjin couldn't help but pat his chest. The prince's dark face was so scary!

A group of people came to the pastry shop. It was crowded at that time, so the shop assistant called out and let them choose whatever they wanted.

Shen Yunjin, wearing a cone hat, stood outside the gate and looked at the shop.

The shop is in the shape of a straight line, with the counter on the far left and the operation room behind the counter.

To the right, there are all kinds of pastries lined up.

If you want to sell test questions, you need to set aside a space to display them.

While she was thinking about how to display it, the shopkeeper looked up and saw the Fifth Prince.

He quickly pushed open the cabinet door and came out.

"I greet the prince, concubine. Come in and have some tea."

Although Shen Yunjin was wearing a cone hat, the shopkeeper still guessed his identity.

Several people entered the room, and the waiter quickly served tea and turned around to go out to receive the guests.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, I won't beat around the bush with you. I want to sell the imperial examination questions in my shop. How can I rearrange the shop?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he stroked his moustache.

"Does Concubine want to use all of it to sell test questions, or does she just need a small area?"

Shen Yunjin secretly gave Manager Zhou a thumbs up in his heart.

She is smart but not tempted by profit. She has made a good deal of the job that Mr. Shen gave her as the shopkeeper.

"What suggestions does the shopkeeper have?" she asked.

Shopkeeper Zhou paced back and forth for a few steps. "Only during the imperial examinations does a large number of students flock to the capital."

"For students in Beijing, it is already very difficult to complete the teacher's assignments on a daily basis, so the sale period of the test questions will not be too long."

"I think we can set aside a portion to display test questions and try to sell them first. If the demand is high, we can expand it."

"Also, I heard that the clothing store next door is about to be transferred. If the prince and concubine have enough money, it would be great if they could buy it."

Most of the students who could study in the Imperial College came from wealthy families.

Students in the Imperial College all wore the same uniform, and their everyday clothes were sewn at home.

Therefore, the clothing store next door is doing badly, and the owner is planning to move to the bustling area of ​​East Street.

"Boss, something bad has happened!" A waiter rushed in from outside.
