Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

In the Third Prince’s Mansion, a man in black was kneeling on the ground, enduring the wrath of the Third Prince a few meters away.

This time, his men were ordered to kill the wife and the son of the Duke of Dingguo. They went in three waves in total. As a result, none of the first wave came back, only two came back from the second wave, but all of them came back from the third wave, because they had just arrived outside the capital when they received the news that the wife and the son of the Duke of Dingguo had returned.

They didn't even have time to make a move.

"It's my fault. I will find a way to go to Duke Dingguo's Mansion and will never let the wife of Duke Dingguo and the prince live." The man in black vowed.

The Third Prince glared at him fiercely, "Do you think you still have a chance to enter the Duke Dingguo's Mansion? Do you think the old Duke Dingguo and the current Duke Dingguo are fools? And the General's Mansion, the wife of the Duke Dingguo's maiden family is the General's Mansion, do you think the General's Mansion will not take any action after hearing the news?"

Man in black: “…”

The Third Prince kicked in anger and said, "Why don't you get out of here? Send someone to keep a close eye on Duke Dingguo's mansion. If the Duke Dingguo's wife and the Crown Prince go out again next time, find a way to kill them immediately. Got it?"

The man in black responded and quickly retreated.

The third prince watched the door close, then sat back in his chair and frowned.

*

The Duke Dingguo's Mansion has been close to the Crown Prince in the past two years, which has become a major concern for him.

This time he originally wanted to send people to kill the wife of Duke Dingguo and the prince of Duke Dingguo, and put the blame on the prince, so as to create discord between Duke Dingguo and the prince.

As a result, his men were useless and he failed to kill even a woman or a child.

It really delayed his work.

The third prince sat there, and was so angry that he wanted to smash the cup again.

The Duke Dingguo's Mansion and the General's Mansion are in-laws. The Duke's Mansion supports the Crown Prince, and the General's Mansion also follows suit.

With the General's Mansion, it would be difficult for him to bring down the Crown Prince.

What a headache.

The third prince pressed his forehead, thinking that if he continued like this, he would die soon.

However, he had underestimated the Duke Dingguo's Mansion before. Their guards were so powerful that the first time he sent nearly thirty people to assassinate them, they were all killed.

I have to be more ruthless in the future.

The third prince thought secretly in his heart.

*

At this time, Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Qi Yue hugged the old Duke Dingguo and cried loudly. After all, he was just a child and he was scared.

The old Duke Dingguo coaxed Qi Yue for a while, and when he stopped crying, he asked the servants to take him out, and then looked at his son, Qi Yue's father, who had just inherited the title of Duke Dingguo's Mansion last summer and became the new generation of Duke Dingguo from a prince.

"I told you long ago not to get involved in the affairs of the court. Now, the Third Prince regards you as a member of the Prince's gang and has sent people to assassinate your wife and Qi Yue."

Duke Dingguo looked apologetic, "It's my son's fault. I will be more careful in the future. But father, the third prince is not a good person. Even if I am not close to any prince, he will not let us go."

Old Duke Dingguo: “…”

"My father-in-law is now guarding the southern border, and Qi Yue's cousin Qin Ci suppressed the rebellion in Qingzhou Prefecture last year. They have military power in their hands, and the Third Prince can't just sit there and do nothing."

The old Duke Dingguo was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "What do you want to do?"

Duke Dingguo said: "Stay close to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is wise and will not do anything excessive to our family in the future."

Old Duke Dingguo: "...Let's do as you say. By the way, I heard from your wife that you came back with help this time."

Ding Guogong said: "It was Madam Li from Li Ji Hotpot Restaurant. When Yue Er was in Jiangyang County, she protected Yue Er for several months."

Old Duke Dingguo: "She is a powerful person. You should find a time to thank her and prepare a thank-you gift for her. By the way, be careful when giving the gift. Don't let the Third Prince's people see us. We have become a thorn in the Third Prince's side. We can't let her get hurt again."

Duke Dingguo bowed his head in response.

Li Yu was not clear about the situation in the Prince's Mansion and the Duke Dingguo's Mansion in the inner city.

After saying goodbye to her mother-in-law and others who were riding in an ordinary horse-drawn carriage, she went straight home.

By the time we got home, it was completely dark.

The few of them tidied up the house simply, moved the things they brought into the house, ate a simple meal, then closed the door and went to sleep.

They were really tired after the long journey, so they decided to rest tonight and discuss other matters tomorrow.

In this way, Li Yu slept until mid-morning the next day.

Get up, wash up, and then go out to buy some food.

After dinner, she asked Lu Xuan to drive the carriage towards the shop.

She left the capital in early May, and it is now June 25th, and she has been away for almost two months.

I don’t know how the business in the store is going.

*

Li Yu was mentally prepared that the business might not be very good, but after entering the hot pot restaurant, she found out that she was wrong.

The hotpot restaurant was doing very well, with people sitting at every table in the lobby downstairs. Many of the customers were obviously unfamiliar with each other and were sharing tables.

"Business is good." Li Yu walked to the counter and talked to Nanny Tian.

Nanny Tian suddenly looked up.

Seeing Li Yu, she immediately stood up and smiled, "Boss Li, you're back."

"I'm back." Li Yu turned his head and looked at the lobby. "Are these people here to eat hot pot or spicy hot pot?"

"They all come here to eat Malatang." Aunt Tian said, "It's hot, so not many people eat hotpot, but everyone loves Malatang."

Just as she guessed.

Li Yu nodded, talked to Nanny Tian for a while, and turned to the backyard.

In the backyard, the helpers were very excited to see Li Yu return.

When her boss left the capital, he said that he would give everyone bonuses after she came back. Now that she has returned, the bonuses are not far away.

*

Li Yu stayed in the hot pot restaurant for half an hour, and then turned to the barbecue restaurant.

The barbecue restaurant's business is slightly worse than that of the hot pot restaurant, but overall it is also good.

The private rooms upstairs were almost full of people, and only two or three tables downstairs were empty.

"In May, there were still a few customers who were willing to cook their own barbecue. But in June, this situation basically disappeared. They preferred to let the waiters help them grill." Mrs. Yan introduced: "I have written down who works faster and who works more on paper. You can take a look at it when you have time."

Li Yu: “Okay.” She was thinking about how to distribute the bonuses. With this record, it would be easy to allocate.

*

Because he had to meet Mr. Su and Princess Jianing today, Li Yu did not stay in the barbecue restaurant for long. He told the helpers that the bonus would be distributed tomorrow and then left.

Taiping Street is not far from Prince An’s Mansion, so Li Yu decided to visit Princess Jianing at Prince An’s Mansion first.

This time, she brought two jars of homemade rose jam and dried roses to Princess Jianing, as well as a dozen fruit jelly.

Princess Jianing particularly liked rose jam. After Li Yu made rose cakes with rose jam, she immediately gave a jar to Qingbi and asked her to deliver it to Princess An.

"Rose flowers are really good. Do you want to plant some in the capital? I'll find a place for you." Princess Jianing said as she took a bite of the rose cake.

Li Yu said: "There are some in the capital, and they are now planted in the home of Han Zheng, my mentor."

Princess Jianing: "Is this the Mr. Su you mentioned?"

Li Yu nodded.

Princess Jianing wanted to say something when a maid from Princess An came over to deliver a message.

"The princess said that she hasn't seen Madam Li for a long time and wants to see her now. Madam Li, please come with me."
