The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny

In Rufangzhai, Mo Feifei looked at the letter in her hand which came from the capital again, feeling extremely reluctant. Since she left the capital, she would only have work-related communication with them but would never receive a reply.

However, now that the Sixth Prince has returned to the capital, work matters have become much more frequent, and the letters are filled with his master's inquiries about her well-being.

While she was moved, she was also worried whether this would break the promise she made when she left Beijing.

I looked at the letter in front of me. I don’t know how much time had passed before I finally opened it and read it.

After reading it, the worries in my heart seemed unnecessary. This time it was an urgent letter from the Sixth Prince, and there was no private information smuggled by the master.

After His Highness learned about the tavern opened by Guo Xin, he actually set his sights on Guo Xin, hoping to use her to bypass the power of the aristocratic families and develop his own power, or in other words, to develop power for the benefit of His Highness the Third Prince.

But are the master's requirements too harsh?

He actually wanted 70% of Guo Xin's wine shop, and the condition he offered was just to help Guo Xin open his wine shop in various places in the territory of the court.

If she were Guo Xin, she would not be happy if someone came and suddenly asked her to give him 70% of her tavern, even if it allowed her to use his influence to open taverns all over the country.

Seventy percent...

That's almost all, and Guo Xin still needs to provide continuous ideas.

Not to mention that Guo Xin had already cooperated with the Hu Mansion in Yong'an County. I don't know how the Sixth Prince came up with this bad idea. It's not like him at all.

Could it be that the situation in Beijing can no longer wait? Why are you so anxious...

"Qingluan, prepare the carriage and go to Yong'an County to find Xin'er."

Qingluan agreed, thinking that the shopkeeper had finally come to his senses and wanted to ask Miss Guo for an explanation and find out why she didn't cooperate with Rufangzhai when opening a wine shop. She said happily, "Shopkeeper, are you going to ask Miss Guo for an explanation?"

Mo Feifei was a little confused: "What do you mean? I'm looking for Xin'er to discuss something important. I just received a letter from the capital, asking me to go and see if the wine shop or other businesses can cooperate with us."

"Cooperation?" Qingluan asked in surprise. Guo Xin's tavern was just a small tavern. How could His Highness notice this small tavern?

Even if the purpose is to develop one's own power by bypassing the aristocratic families, it is impossible to find a small tavern of this size, right?

If you want to find one, you should look for a big restaurant in Suining City. It would be best if it is already established in each provincial capital.

That's what she thought, so she asked.

Mo Feifei smiled and said, "Our princess was not very smart in asking Guo Xin for a share of the cooperation, but she chose the right person. She is just a commoner, and if she can have the support of a powerful person, she will be very grateful in her heart. She will definitely be very loyal to her master and will not have any mixed thoughts."

"Guo Xin's wine shop may seem small at the moment, but its potential in the future is probably limitless. It is natural that we should attract talents like this as soon as possible."

"Moreover, the dishes she taught the cooks were highly praised after they were brought back to the capital. There are not many people who can be praised by the masters in the capital, so she is not simple."

Qingluan nodded. What the shopkeeper said made some sense, but why was His Highness not so smart when it came to the profit sharing of the cooperation?

Mo Feifei understood her look, smiled and didn't answer. It would be best not to tell anyone about this matter before it was decided.

If the rumor gets out, people will probably say that His Highness is not as kind and charitable as rumored, but a shrewd businessman. If the rumor spreads for a long time, His Highness will be demonized into something beyond belief.

……

"Sister Guo Xin, the owner of Rufangzhai is here!" Liu Tiezhu shouted towards the backyard.

He turned his head and said, "Manager Mo, our tavern is small and we don't have any private rooms. Do you want to talk in the backyard or find another place?"

"In the backyard."

She came to Guo Xin to discuss cooperation. If she went to find another place to discuss the matter because she disliked the small size of this tavern, wouldn't it leave a bad impression on this cooperation?

What's more, she is an old employee in the palace and has seen all kinds of small and dirty places. How could she dislike the environment here?

"Then be careful with your steps. The backyard is a bit messy." Liu Tiezhu bent down and guided Mo Feifei to a small room. He said, "Manager Guo is inside."

Guo Xin was busy with the accounting and his eyes were sore. The accounts of the workshop were a bit messy recently, so he had to find someone to help with the accounting.

At this moment, he heard Liu Tiezhu's voice and knew that Mo Feifei had arrived at the door, so he stood up to greet her: "Feifei, long time no see, why are you here?"

Mo Feifei glanced at the room from the corner of her eyes. It was a little dark, but it was a good temporary residence. She said affectionately, "Last time you moved to a new house, I thought it would be inappropriate for an outsider like me to go to your village. Later, I was busy with the affairs of Rufangzhai, so I didn't have time to come and see you."

"How could that be? Even though you didn't come in person, you sent me a gift. It also shows that you still care about me."

"It's just that I'm busy with many things and I really can't spare the time to meet my benefactor. After all, you helped us when we couldn't afford to eat, and now Xier's tuition is still paid by you."

Mo Feifei smiled. Seeing that Guo Xin was still not estranged from her, the rest of the conversation became easier to say: "Xin'er, I came to see you this time for a business matter."

Guo Xin looked at Mo Feifei inquiringly.

"I work for my master, you know that."

Guo Xin nodded.

"Recently, my master heard about your wine shop and wanted to cooperate with you. If you agree, he can help you open wine shops all over the country. In the future, my master can also help you with other business."

Guo Xin smiled. Mo Feifei was indeed a servant of the royal family. Her words were flawless and seemed to have given her great benefits. However, she didn't know what conditions were behind these benefits. Would the sacrifices brought about by these conditions be greater than the benefits given?

"It's just that my wine shop is already in partnership with the Hu family. It wouldn't be a good idea to include your master in it, right? But if my future business involves other businesses, I will definitely let Feifei know and give you the right of first choice. What do you think?"

Mo Feifei shook her head and said, "I think this wine shop has a bright future, and it will definitely not be limited to this. So if the contract between you and Mrs. Hu stipulates that you cannot partner with other people again, we are willing to give compensation, or I will go to negotiate with the Hu family."

Guo Xin was very surprised. He thought that Mo Feifei was just impulsive. Now that she was going through so much trouble, she must be determined to get him. However, she still had to maintain the spirit of the contract. She said, "Fei Fei, I'm sorry I can't agree to this for now."
