The Duke knew that food was a very important matter. When he was young, he led troops to fight in wars and he knew best the importance of reserve food and fodder.

Nothing can delay the cultivation of grain. He said to Zheng Sisi, "Girl, if you need anything from grandpa, just ask. Grandpa will risk his life to help you."

Zheng Sisi was touched that her grandfather could unconditionally support such a thing that had no basis. "Thank you, grandfather. I will let you know if I need anything. Besides, the Third Prince and two ministers are involved in this matter. Grandfather, please see which cousin can come along."

The Duke said, "That's fine. Let your fourth cousin follow you to run errands and do odd jobs."

He turned around and said to his fourth grandson Zheng Zhiyuan, "Xiaoyuan, accompany your grandmother to your cousin's house tomorrow to get acquainted with her family. Will that not leave anyone with anything to say? You better be smart next time, kid."

Fourth cousin Zheng Zhiyuan nodded: "Grandfather, don't worry, I will learn more from my cousin."

The matter was decided happily.

After dinner, the Duke's Mansion no longer tried to keep Zheng Sisi and let her go back to the Zheng Mansion.

It was already dark when Zheng Sisi returned to the mansion. She asked Madam Liu to take people to clean up a courtyard for the Duke's wife to live in tomorrow.

Nanny Li and Chuntao also came to report to Zheng Sisi on today's work progress.

Nanny Li said, "The accommodation for the servants in the mansion was arranged yesterday, and the bedding is being rushed to be made. It's no problem for everyone to squeeze in for now.

For the meal today, Aunt Gui made braised offal again. Everyone enjoyed the meal and were very grateful to the girl for her care.

The clothes and bedding have already been ordered from the shop and they will be made and delivered over.

Girl, the clothing shop is the dowry shop you took back (Sifang Cloth Shop).”

Zheng Sisi didn't expect that Nanny Li would keep the wealth within her family, so she asked, "How's the store doing?"

Madam Li: "The shop is not doing well. The previous owner has been replaced. This owner is a distant relative of Fang and likes to deceive customers, so business is not good. I heard that the shop is going to be taken back. He ran away with the money on the counter yesterday. When I went there today, only a manager and the shop assistants were left."

Zheng Sisi had actually thought of this a long time ago, but she was too busy to deal with these clowns.

"There's no one in the shop. They can handle such a big business."

Madam Li: "Yes, we have regular embroiderers in the shop, and we can also find some women who take odd jobs temporarily. They can do this kind of needlework without any problem."

Zheng Sisi: "Okay, let's do this for now. I'll think of ways to change the shop when I have time. You can help me keep an eye on it, or find a female shopkeeper to manage it."

Madam Li: "Yes, young lady."

Then he continued: “The land in the back garden is about one acre, and it is all deep plowed.

Today, Mr. Zhong sent some wood ash over, and I placed it next to the open field.

Also, today, the stewards from five mansions came to the mansion to give housewarming gifts. Since the young lady was not here, I sent them all back and did not accept the gifts. "

Zheng Sisi: "Well, you are right. You should not accept gifts if you do not understand the other person's intentions. Write down the name first and see if he has good character. Then you can get to know him later."

Chuntao stepped forward and said, "Miss, I have made two sets of the short coats you asked me to wear today. You can wear them tomorrow."

Zheng Sisi praised: "Whose craftsmanship is so good!"

Chun Tao smiled and said, "Qiu Xiang brought an old woman who knows how to sew to make it according to the pattern you gave her. It turned out very nice.

Miss, the account books have been checked. In addition, you have a cloth shop, which is the Sifang Cloth Shop that Madam Li just mentioned, as well as a restaurant, a teahouse, and two farms. "

Zheng Sisi blinked: "I still have so many businesses."
