"My daughter is very smart."

Mrs. Lu's confident words made Mrs. Li's mouth tremble uncontrollably. She quickly praised him against her conscience, "Yes, I was just worrying too much. Youyou is smart and intelligent, and she is kind and kind. Who can deceive her?"

Hearing her praise her daughter, Lu smiled again, "Sister-in-law, you don't know how capable my Youyou is. I can say that there are few people in the capital who are better than my Youyou."

"Yes Yes Yes......"

Li agreed against her will. When Lu praised Bai Youyou again and smiled brightly, she asked, "Do you still remember what I told you that day?"

Mrs. Lu has a bad memory. She looked confused and asked, "What happened last time?"

"It's about Lord Xu."

"Master Xu?"

Mrs. Lu finally remembered. She slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, look at my memory! I forgot what I said last time. I'll talk to Youyou when she comes back."

That day, Lu was busy pickling some sour radishes and forgot about this.

But she still asked in a somewhat strange tone: "This Lord Xu is a handsome and talented person, but Zhenzhen is only seventeen or eighteen years old now. It would be great to find someone of similar age."

This is the first time I've heard of someone being so eager to become someone's eldest daughter.

"How can we explain this matter of fate?" Li said with a forced smile, "The happiness of the child is the most important. Matching family background, age and appearance are all external things."

"That's right. Marriage is a big deal, so it's better if both parties are happy with each other."

Lu said a few perfunctory words, and she stretched her neck to look outside the house, "Sister-in-law, you should go back. Cousin Yueying and I have an appointment at Wanbao Tower, and it will be time soon."

"Then don't forget this."

"I can't forget it. I can't forget it."

After sending Li away, Lu asked the maid to take good care of Nanny Yang, and then took Cuizhu to Wanbao Tower.

Yueying picked out a pair of hibiscus hairpins and just paid for them when Lu walked in with a smile on her face.

"My sister-in-law went to my place to discuss something, so she was delayed for a while."

"It's not too late. I just picked out two pieces of jewelry."

Yueying stood in front of the counter and took out five taels of silver to pay the bill.

The shopkeeper wrapped the jewelry and asked Mrs. Lu with a smile, "Madam's surname is Lu. Is she the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo and the mother of Miss Bai Youyou?"

"Yes." Lu nodded with a polite smile.

"You haven't been here for the past two months. I was just about to send someone to deliver a letter. Please come in."

Lu and Yueying followed the shopkeeper to the small hall in the backyard and sat down. The shopkeeper took out an account book, went to the inner room and took out a wooden box and handed it to Lu. "This is the dividend for the last two months. Miss Youyou said that since you are here, I will give it to you."

Lu took the box and opened it. Inside was a stack of banknotes and some silver and copper coins neatly arranged.

"So many?"

She was a little bit unbelievable.

Her own daughter gave her only eight hundred taels a few years ago, and there are at least more than a thousand taels in this box.

"Business was much better before the New Year, but it's a little worse in February."

The shopkeeper said that the situation was bad, but he still had a smile on his face. "Business will pick up again when the season changes in March."

“This is excellent.”

Mrs. Lu looked at the banknotes in the box and couldn't stop smiling.

Even if the average amount was 600 taels per month, that would be several thousand taels per year. The combined revenue of the farms and shops under her name was only 700 to 800 taels per year.

Yueying couldn't help but say, "You really gave birth to a little god of wealth."

Lu was not modest either, and nodded in agreement: "That's not the case."

The shopkeeper picked up the account book and handed it to Lu, "This is the store's account book, take it back and check it."

Lu took it with a smile and handed it to Cuizhu behind her.

After a few more polite words, Lu and Yueying came out of the inner courtyard and saw Bai Yaoyao looking at jewelry at the counter.

Bai Yaoyao also saw her and quickly bowed, "Mother."

"Ah."

Lu responded coldly and walked straight past her.

Bai Yaoyao stood up straight, staring coldly at her back. Bi Tao stood behind her and asked doubtfully, "Madam just came out from the backyard. Could it be..."

"Shut up."

Bai Yaoyao also remembered the rumors spread by the servants. Her eyes moved and a good idea suddenly came to her mind.

She looked at the various jewelry on the counter. The styles were indeed quite novel, and some were even quite modern.

Bai Yaoyao has visited all the jewelry shops in the capital these days, and only the styles of Zanhualou and Wanbaolou can be called exquisite.

Without money, you can't move forward. This is true everywhere.

In this world, she had no worries about food and clothing, but if she wanted to do something, make friends with nobles, manage servants, and win people's hearts, the cost would be quite high.

She wanted to rely on Bai Yanlang and Bai Mulin, but she didn't know when that would happen. For now, she could only rely on herself.

"Let's go somewhere else."

Life is nothing more than food, clothing, shelter and transportation. She will observe the market carefully and then seek cooperation with the prince, and she will surely succeed.

The two walked towards the other end of the street.

There were many shops around, people were coming and going on the streets, the hawkers' cries could be heard one after another, and many noblemen dressed in silk and satin were accompanied by servants as they went to various shops.

"Bai Youyou!"

Bai Yaoyao and Bitao were walking through the crowd. She saw a beautiful figure in tender green standing in front of a shop with a plaque hanging on its door. She suddenly stopped.

"It's the Fourth Miss, and the young master of the Qi family."

Qi Lian raised his head and instructed the servant to hang the door plaque, "A little to the left, and a little lower, yes, yes, that's it."

When the servant came down the ladder with sweat on his forehead after hanging the plaque on the door, Bai Yaoyao finally saw the sign on the door clearly, "Baozhu Tower."

Bi Tao said, "I think I'm going to open a jewelry store."

Bai Yaoyao frowned slightly, "Why is Bai Youyou opening a jewelry store?"

She originally planned to open a jewelry store first, but she didn't expect Bai Youyou had the same idea.

It seems that it is too late to raise money to open a shop and find people, so I have to ask the prince for help.

"Go find Marquis Yong'an."

The prince is in the East Palace, and she can only find him through Marquis Yong'an.

At this time, in the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, the Crown Prince and the Yong'an Marquis sat in the first seats, with the unhappy-looking Earl Wei Ning and the nonchalant Jiang Tingxiao sitting next to them.

"Nephew Tingxiao, I never thought that Yun Ni Fang was actually under your name."

The corners of Yong'an Marquis' lips curved up, and the sneer in his eyes was not concealed at all.

It took us several months to find out who he was. He was hiding really well.

"This rebellious son even hid it from me."

Earl Weining looked at the prince with a flattering expression.

"Nephew Tingxiao, Yun Ni Fang is a gold nugget, but it's hard to expand it with your own strength. It would be better for you to take 40% of the shares and let your uncle take care of the rest."

The prince also smiled and said, "We are all blood relatives. In the future... I will definitely not forget your contribution."
