I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

Lin Yan watched the wife of Duke Dingguo as she left. When her figure disappeared from view, she suddenly had a bold plan to make money and decided to ask Manager Xiong to do it.

Maybe he could find a new way to survive in the Rui Palace. Instead of running away and looking for new opportunities, it would be better to win over the existing connections and make a good plan.

Zhao Yuan kept glancing at Lin Yan and found the woman's expression very interesting.

When the two women are put together, Mu Xueli is not as generous as A Yan, and she looks petty from beginning to end.

It’s a pity that A Yan’s family background is too low, otherwise, with her current ability, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give her a concubine!

"This bubble milk tea tastes really good!" Zhao Yuan said suddenly.

The shopkeeper almost couldn't laugh. It turned out that the Rui Wangfu was so poor that they couldn't even afford bubble milk tea, so they came to my place deliberately to get a free drink.

A cup of premium black pearl milk tea costs fifty taels of silver. I would have given you two taels of silver a cup if I had known. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor is your father, I would have kicked you out with a big stick.

Mu Shirley also knew that pearl milk tea tasted good and was popular among the wealthy circles in Beijing, but she had only tried the cheap one once.

Is the Rui Palace really so poor? Is my persistence really right? I didn't just leave one fire pit and jump into another fire mud pit! He frowned and couldn't help but take another sip.

In her previous life, she married the illegitimate son of the editor of the Ministry of Rites. It was said that he was very smart, but he had a high opinion of himself and repeatedly failed in his examinations. In the end, he became a bad-tempered alcoholic, and ended up having to do mending for others and was beaten by them.

However, occasionally I would learn from my alcoholic husband that King Rui was framed by someone else and that he should never suffer from poverty again.

After rebirth, I vowed to change my fate and never marry that bastard again.

According to his understanding, Prince Rui had been extremely low-key throughout his life. He had never remarried before his rebirth and had always been a single man.

I didn't expect him to be such a stingy person. If I had known this, I wouldn't have chosen King Rui when I was reborn. What a mistake!

Now it seems that even being the concubine of the Eighth Prince, Prince Heng, is more honorable than being the principal wife of Prince Rui.

The comings and goings of the wife of Duke Dingguo's Mansion made him see the true financial situation of Prince Rui clearly. He had made all kinds of calculations but still underestimated the strength of Prince Rui's Mansion.

However, this pearl milk tea itself has never appeared in the previous life.

The concubine who had caused a sensation in the whole city also disappeared inexplicably in the end, but definitely not three months later.

So he bet his entire fortune of five thousand taels on the chance that his concubine would still be alive after three months, paying thirty to one.

Mu Xueli is very confident that she will definitely be a rich woman if she marries Prince Rui. If so, will Prince Rui set his sights on her money?

Think about it carefully. His mother was the highly respected Concubine De. How could he really be completely unaware of the fact that she was accused of being a wife-killer?

If he knew but was still taken advantage of, it only means that his abilities and financial resources were limited.

He is so stingy towards his fiancée, so I guess his interpersonal relationships must not be very good.

My status is not high, it is not easy to marry a high-ranking one. Especially for a prince, I can only watch from afar.

Suddenly, I thought of this unfortunate Prince Rui. I only thought of him as a shortcut for me to marry into a wealthy family. How could I have ignored him? Alas! Now I am in a dilemma and can only marry him.

If it doesn't work out, divorce! Find a new partner. When Mu Xueli was in a daze, Zhao Yuan had already left with Lin Yan.

Lin Yan was so depressed. The money that was right at her fingertips just flew away.

How come I can’t get a penny from Zhao Yuan? I took a carriage and wandered around for no apparent reason, but came back empty-handed without even a handful of dust. How did I go out and come back again!!!

After Zhao Yuan sent himself home, he didn't even get out of the carriage, but left with his servants with an expressionless face.

Lin Yan was totally confused, but fortunately she did not go out without gaining anything, as she accidentally discovered a business opportunity. As long as she handled it properly, it should not be a problem to earn money from rouge and powder.

After returning to the Crescent Moon Courtyard, he told Kai Xin to go and invite Manager Zhai.

...............

"Master, Chief Steward Zhai is here!"

"Invite him in quickly!"

"Master Lin, is there something you want me to tell you about?" The chubby body of Manager Zhai appeared in front of Lin Yan.

"I have something to discuss with you. Happy, sit down for Chief Steward Zhai and pour some tea!"

Zhai Zizhuang was not polite and sat down quietly, waiting for Lin Yan's next words.

"Manager Zhai, you see, I'm young and there's no one to take care of the house. There are many things I don't understand and I'd like to ask you for advice!" Lin Yan said with a playful look on her face.

"You're welcome. If you have any questions, just ask! It's my honor to serve Master Lin.

I will tell you everything I know." Manager Zhai was very satisfied with the attitude of Lady Lin towards him and was very happy to give her some advice.

"I just went out and heard that the Eighth Prince is going to get married soon. Can you tell me the date? As far as I know, the bride's family usually needs to prepare a lot of dragon and phoenix cakes for the wedding. Is there a rule that only one kind of ingredient can be used? In addition to dragon and phoenix cakes, what other pastries need to be prepared for the banquet?"

Chief Steward Zhai looked at Lin Yan meaningfully: "The Eighth Prince's wedding and our Rui Wang Mansion's wedding are on the same day, both on January 20th!

Dragon and Phoenix Cakes have always been like this, and everyone sticks to the old ways! But if there are other cakes with better meanings that can better show off wealth, I think everyone would be willing to choose them.

There are so many cakes and pastries on the wedding banquet, and they are usually served after three rounds of wine! Why did Master Lin suddenly think of asking these questions? "

"You are not an outsider, so I will tell you my idea. Please help me think about it and see if it can be realized." Lin Yan paused with great respect.

"Look, our King Rui is secretly selling milk tea and cakes. Can we also participate in his wedding?"

"That's hard to say! Pearl milk tea and cakes are now popular among the rich and powerful in Beijing. Not only are they delicious, but they can also show off one's status.

Someone needs to mention it to the wife of Duke Dingguo. And the meaning of this cake needs to be profound and appropriate!"

"I think so too. Pastries have many meanings.

The round shape symbolizes perfection.

The two-color one still represents the auspiciousness of dragon and phoenix.

Our pastries can also be made into nine layers from bottom to top, which means getting higher and higher.

Two round lotus seeds are placed on the top to symbolize the birth of a son soon. "Lin Yan briefly repeated her thoughts.

Manager Zhai half-closed his eyes habitually. No wonder the prince attached so much importance to Master Lin. This idea of ​​making money is first-rate. The thought of giving Lin Yan some advice just now disappeared, and was replaced by sincere admiration.

"How is it? Is it feasible for Chief Steward Zhai?"

Zhai Zizhuang nodded seriously: "It's more than feasible, it's simply too feasible!"

"With your affirmation, I have a clear idea in my mind! Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing! I would like to ask Chief Steward Zhai to help me find a way to fan the flames with the wife of the Duke of Dingguo!

I'll ask Manager Xiong to prepare the samples. Please take the trouble to taste them and improve them!"

"I'll think about this when I get back!" Zhai Zizhuang frowned slightly. He had a lot of things to do, and he didn't want to do this thankless task.

"Once it's done, I'll make the decision and give you 20% of the net profit!" Lin Yan saw the change in Manager Zhai's face and finally threw out the biggest weapon.

Zhai Zizhuang almost fell down. My goodness, his eyes were wide open! "Are you serious?"

“Once a word is spoken, it’s hard to chase it back!”

Zhai Zizhuang calculated shrewdly in his mind that this time, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion announced that it would let its daughter Mingzhu get married with great fanfare.

If done right...

Such high-end products would cost tens of thousands of taels, and the amount that fell into his pocket legitimately would be several thousand taels. If he had just felt a little bit of a slip of the tongue, now he was extremely excited.

Lin Yan had already noticed the change in Zhai Zizhuang's expression, so she was not in a hurry and just waited quietly.

This kind of thing must be handled by an equal relationship, and obviously, Manager Zhai is the best candidate.

Zhai Zizhuang's eyes sparkled and shone. "Master Lin, I will take care of this matter. I will definitely satisfy you. But our cakes must be unique in the capital."

"I can guarantee this!"

"With your guarantee, there will be no problem. I will go to the event now. When can you make the samples?" Zhai Zizhuang asked enthusiastically.

"The pastry is a bit complicated, and it's a bit difficult to collect the ingredients. The earliest it will be ready is seven days later!"

Zhai Zizhuang didn't expect that it would take seven days to make a cake. This was enough to show that this cake was different, and he was even more confident.

"Okay, now I understand what you mean!" Manager Zhai patted his chest and promised.

"Also, please ask Chief Steward Zhai to call Steward Xiong into the mansion. I have something for him to do."

"I will tell Xiao Liuzi to call Manager Xiong into the mansion right now!" Zhai Zizhuang was eager to try and was eager to establish contact.

"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Zhai!"

"Master Lin, if there are such good things in the future, just remember me!" Zhai Zizhuang said with a smile.

"Don't worry, as long as I, Lin Yan, have such an opportunity again, you will definitely not miss out on any benefits!" Lin Yan was truly successful in winning over Zhai Zizhuang and making him truly her own man.

This was exactly what Zhai Zizhuang wanted to hear. He stood up, bowed to Lin Yan, and happily went out to do his work.

Lin Yan did not expect that things would go so smoothly. People die for money and birds die for food. As long as the benefits are big enough, even the powerful can be easily won over.

Next, as long as he could reach an agreement with the new princess, he could leave safely and smoothly, and get rid of the control of the psychopath Zhao Yuan. In the future, he could also use the relationship with Zhai Zongguan to continue to deal with the dignitaries in the capital.

Although she couldn't sell a set of jewelry for hundreds of thousands of taels like Wanfuzhai, it was still easy for her to earn tens of thousands of taels a year. If she spent money frugally, she could definitely live comfortably even without a man.

With Manager Zhai as his backer, he no longer has to worry about being harassed by those ruffians. It's really killing two birds with one stone.

"Master, master..." Kai Xin had to interrupt Lin Yan who was lost in thought and grinning.

Kai Xin couldn't understand why his master was still in a daze even though Manager Zhai had been gone for quite some time.

"Oh!" Lin Yan was finally awakened by happiness. She didn't know what this little girl wanted her to do, and her face looked a little unhappy: "What's the matter?"

"Master, Miss Xie and Miss Miao are here! I wonder if you want to see them or not?" Kai Xin asked a little nervously. The master was just smiling foolishly, but suddenly his face turned pale. Did he say something wrong?

"These two boring guys really know how to pick the right time." Lin Yan really wanted to not see them, but on second thought, she decided to tell them about the new princess she saw today.

"Let them in!" Lin Yan moved her body to make herself more comfortable. But she did not ask Kai Xin to serve them tea. She did not plan to chat with them for a long time this time.
