Traveling through time and space, being replaced by a bride, happily married into a marquis's m

Old Chen responded and explained in detail: "The silk shop is located in the prosperous East City in the north of the city. It has convenient transportation and a constant stream of customers. Moreover, the goods we import are of high quality and novel styles, and are deeply loved by the people. The herbal medicine shop has attracted many patients to seek medical treatment and medicine because of the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, and the business is also very prosperous. As for the grain store, it is a necessity for people's livelihood, and there is a stable source of customers at all times."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly and turned to Lao Li: "So, which of these shops can be improved?"

Old Li pondered for a moment and said, "Madam, the business of the silk and satin shop and the herbal medicine shop is already very stable, but there is still room for improvement in the grain business. Nowadays, the price of grain in the market fluctuates greatly. If we can grasp the timing of purchasing and reduce costs, we can increase profits."

"Well, that's a good point." Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with approval, "So, how do you think I can use the shop I brought as a dowry to do a more profitable business?"

Lao Chen and Lao Li looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Seeing this, Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said, "You might as well be frank. I'm not here to ask for your flattery."

Old Chen coughed and said, "Madam, the dowry shop is located in the east of the city, where the population is dense and the market is prosperous. If we want to do more profitable business there, we might as well open a restaurant. Although there are many restaurants on the market now, there are only a handful of high-quality restaurants. If we can hire a famous chef and create unique dishes, we will definitely attract many diners."

"That's right." Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Then let's open a restaurant. But before that, I want you to investigate the most profitable restaurants on the market and see how they run their business. Then make a decision after you come back."

Lao Chen and Lao Li took the order and went downstairs to prepare immediately.

Lu Yundi sat in the main hall, drinking tea and secretly thinking about the future business plans for the major shops.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the house, and Xiang Ning walked in and reported to Lu Yundi: "Madam, Madam Zheng from the Lu family is here, and she said she wants to see you, Madam."

Lu Yundi was slightly stunned and frowned slightly. She knew that this Nanny Zheng was sent by Madam Lu and there must be something going on.

She nodded slightly and signaled Xiang Ning to invite Nanny Zheng in.

Madam Zheng came in with a smile on her face. She looked amiable, but there was a hint of shrewdness in her eyes. She bowed to Lu Yundi and smiled, "Madam, are you all right?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Madam. I'm fine."

After Nanny Zheng sat down, she got straight to the point and said, "Madam, I am here because my wife is worried that you are overwhelmed by the busy affairs of the Marquis' Mansion and can't handle it, so she specially sent me here to help."

After hearing this, Lu Yundi's smile froze slightly. She said confidently: "Madam, you are worrying too much. I can manage the household affairs well. There is no need for the Shangshu Mansion to interfere."

Madam Zheng was stunned. She didn't expect Lu Yundi to refuse so directly. She hurriedly said, "What do you mean, Madam? I am only here to help you because I am worried that you are too busy. I have no other intentions."

Lu Yundi smiled calmly and said, "Madam, you misunderstood. I understand mother's good intentions, but I think that if the Shangshu Mansion interferes in the affairs of the Marquis Mansion, it will give people a bad impression, as if Madam Lu is bullying our dignified and brave Marquis Mansion because there is no one in charge."

Madam Zheng's expression changed slightly. She didn't expect Lu Yundi to refute like this. She hurriedly said, "Madam, I am just worried about you. I have no other intentions."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said, "Mammy, I know Madam means well, but I have already married into the Marquis's Mansion. I hope to have my own space and don't want to be controlled by my mother anymore."

After hearing this, Nanny Zheng was speechless. She looked at Lu Yundi and saw that she had a firm gaze and a calm expression on her face, and it was obvious that she had made up her mind.

Nanny Zheng sighed inwardly, she knew that Lu Yundi had made up his mind and could not change it.

She could only stand up helplessly, bowed awkwardly to Lu Yundi, and then said: "Madam, I understand. I will go back and tell you. Please take care of yourself."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said, "Mammy, you have worked hard. I will take you there."

Nanny Zheng nodded slightly and followed Lu Yundi out of the room. Along the way, neither of them spoke again.

……

In Rongxi Hall, sunlight shines through the window lattice onto the floor of the warm room, creating a mottled scene. Lady Lu Yundi, the wife of Marquis Zhongyong, reclines on a comfortable armchair, looking lazy and satisfied. Eight maids and servants surround her, some gently patting her legs, others carefully peeling loquats, creating a warm scene.

"Hongyou, have you peeled the loquats?" Lu Yundi asked softly with his eyes slightly closed.

Hongyou immediately handed the peeled loquat to Lu Yundi's mouth and said with a smile, "Madam, please enjoy your meal."

Lu Yundi took a bite and frowned slightly, then relaxed: "Hmm, it tastes good."

Green Gourd smiled and said, "Madam, these loquats were specially sent from the south by the old lady. They are very fresh."

Hearing this, Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with gratitude: "The old lady is really considerate. She knows that I like southern fruits."

At this time, a maid walked into the warm room, holding an exquisite box in her hand, and carefully placed it in front of Lu Yundi: "Madam, this is the ointment that the old lady specially ordered the servants to make. She said it is good for your leg pain."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly: "Old Madam is really thoughtful, I will try it now."

She took the ointment and gently applied it on her legs, her expression relieved. She looked at Hongyou and Luhu and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: These two maids are indeed the left and right arms left by the old lady.

Hongyou and Lvhu were well-trained maids specially selected by the old lady. They were not only smart, but also kind-hearted and loyal to Lu Yundi.

"Hongyou, Luhu, thank you for your hard work." Lu Yundi said softly.

Hongyou and Luhu hurriedly knelt down: "Madam, this is what we servants should do."

Lu Yundi gently waved his hand: "Get up, you are all my people, there is no need to be so formal."

Hongyou and Lvhulu stood up and continued to serve Lu Yundi.

After eating the loquats, Lu Yundi lay on the recliner with his eyes closed, enjoying the rare tranquility.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence. Lu Yundi slightly opened her eyes and saw a servant running in with sweat all over his forehead, panting and saying, "Madam, it's bad! The eldest young master beat up the old teacher in the clan school. The old teacher asked you to go over and handle this matter."

Lu Yundi frowned, a trace of seriousness flashed across her face, she slowly stood up and said to the maid beside her: "Get ready, we'll go over now."

Along the way, Lu Yundi's expression became more and more solemn.

The Yan family's clan school was located in the once-prominent Yongchang Earl's Mansion.

The Yongchang Marquis' Mansion and the Zhongyong Marquis' Mansion have the same origin, and the relationship between the two can be said to be quite close.
