After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

"I go with you."

Lu Chen was worried about her going back alone, so he asked the others to return home first, and he went to Wanbao Tower with her.

The largest and most popular shop in the capital is Zanhualou, and any piece of jewelry there is worth a lot of money.

Lu Chen would use his own savings to buy her one every year.

Before the rise of Zanhualou, Wanbaolou was one of the best jewelry stores in the capital. Now it is deserted, and the shopkeeper stands in front of the counter, supporting his chin, looking listless.

"Sir, please come in."

Seeing a customer coming in, the shopkeeper immediately perked up, walked out from behind the counter, and greeted the customer with a smile, "The jewelry in our store is of good quality and reasonable price, please feel free to choose."

Bai Youyou looked around at the pieces of jewelry displayed on the counter and sighed slightly.

No wonder they couldn’t compete with Zanhualou, this style is too old-fashioned.

Bai Youyou walked around the store and picked up a red hairpin in the shape of a crabapple flower and looked at it in her hand.

"Miss, you have a good eye. This crabapple hairpin is a new model that our shop has just released. It only costs two taels of silver."

The shopkeeper was white and plump, and when he smiled, his eyes narrowed into crescents.

It's a rare occasion for a guest to visit, so he is very enthusiastic.

"Boss, your price is affordable, but the style is a bit..."

This crabapple flower hairpin is just average, and it’s the only one Bai Youyou likes in the entire store.

It's not very appealing.

She put the hairpin back, raised her eyes and asked, "Can you make custom jewelry?"

"I did."

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper was full of confidence, "To be honest, my ancestors made jewelry for the empresses in the palace. Whatever style you want, I can make it for you."

"Do you have any writing material?"

The shopkeeper pointed at the counter and said, "Then we have it."

Bai Youyou had joined a painting club in college and studied there for four years. She couldn't paint famous works by masters, but it wasn't difficult for her to draw a jewelry pattern.

The styles and designs are even simpler. Who hasn’t watched costume TV dramas nowadays?

Lu Chen watched Bai Youyou sketch out the shape of a pearl flower with just a few strokes, and looked at her in surprise.

My cousin is good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and needlework, but only her calligraphy and paintings are barely passable.

These few strokes now are much better than the level she usually shows.

Xiaoju stood by and waited for Bai Youyou to finish painting. She exclaimed, "Miss, this crabapple hairpin is so beautiful!"

The shopkeeper's eyes widened, he held the blueprint in his hands, his hands trembling with excitement, "Miss, can you sell this blueprint to me? I am willing to buy it at a high price."

Bai Youyou was deliberately showing off her skills in front of him, not just to make a few dozen taels of silver from the blueprint.

Not only does it take a lot of money to save the entire Zhenguo Mansion, she also wants the Lu family to live a decent life.

"Shopkeeper, I won't sell the blueprints."

The shopkeeper got anxious when he heard this. "Miss, you are afraid that I can't afford the price. Just name the price, I will never pay you back."

If this crabapple hairpin were to come out, his Wanbaolou, which was on the verge of closing, would definitely be able to revive.

This was the business left by his ancestors, and he had been reluctant to sell it, so he had already sold a lot of his property to maintain its operation.

If there is no way to change, he will have to give up for the sake of his wife and children.

But now the chance of survival is right before his eyes. If he misses it, he will never rest in peace!

"Boss, I won't sell the blueprints," Bai Youyou saw that the boss was too excited to control himself, and changed the subject, "But I can give you the blueprints, but you have to give me 20% of the net profit."

Without waiting for the shopkeeper to hesitate, she continued, "Not just this one, I will provide you with other jewelry styles every month in the future."

"Good good..."

It was only 20% of the net profit, so how could the shopkeeper refuse? He looked at Bai Youyou as if he was looking at the God of Wealth, "I'll sign the contract right away. Let's sign it now."

Lu Chen stood aside and didn't say a word the whole time, just glancing at Bai Youyou from time to time.

I did doubt her identity last time, but after testing her, I found nothing wrong.

Could people really change so much overnight?

The shopkeeper quickly signed the contract, signed his name and put his fingerprints on it.

Bai Youyou took the pen from her hand, signed her name and pressed her fingerprint.

There were two copies of the contract, and Bai Youyou took one of them. "I'll come back in three days to pick up this crabapple hairpin, okay?"

"Ok, Ok."

When the shopkeeper saw the three crooked and not very beautiful words "Bai Youyou" on the deed, he instantly recognized her identity.

But he didn't say it and hurriedly put away the deed and drawings.

"Don't tell anyone else about this. I'll send someone to deliver the blueprints at a fixed time."

Bai Youyou handed the deed to Xiaoju, who was standing beside her with admiration on his face, gave the shopkeeper some instructions, and turned to walk out.

She planned to first earn some money from the jewelry as capital, and then when Zhao Qianqian's soap recipe came, she would use this capital to start making money.

Lu Chen sat in the carriage, leaning against the car, and was silent all the way.

Bai Youyou saw it, but felt helpless.

"Seventh cousin, I had a dream before. In the dream, my eldest cousin, second cousin, and third cousin all died on the battlefield, the whole family of the Duke of Zhenguo, old and young, women and children were imprisoned, my mother was demoted to a concubine and tortured to death, you were tortured to death, and my grandfather was torn into pieces by five horses."

She is Bai Youyou, and she is not Bai Youyou. However, this matter must not be told to anyone at this moment. She can only use the excuse of supernatural powers to get away with it.

Hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly raised his head and looked at her, his voice trembling, "In your dream, no one in my Zhenguo Mansion had a good end?!"

The first Duke of Zhenguo was the deputy general of the founding emperor, and was actually a member of the same lineage as the Lu family.

The emperor of the previous dynasty indulged in wine and sex and was extremely debauched. He imposed all kinds of harsh taxes and levied heavy penalties, causing the people of the world to suffer and live in misery.

At that time, the Lu family, which was still the general's mansion, was ordered to guard the border and hold military power. When they were forced to do so, they wielded their swords to Kyoto, overthrew the tyrant, and ascended the throne themselves.

Now that three dynasties have passed, the current emperor is even more afraid that the Duke of Zhenguo will become too powerful and threaten the emperor, and is afraid that the Duke of Zhenguo will do something as treasonous as the late emperor did.

He clenched his hands into fists and his eyes were bloodshot.

Over the years, everyone in the Zhenguo Mansion has always abided by their duties and kept a low profile, never forming cliques for personal gain, but that person still doesn't want to let them go? !

Bai Youyou grabbed his shaking hand and said, "Cousin, this is just a dream. Dreams may not come true. Don't worry."

"Youyou, you don't understand. We in the Zhenguo Mansion have nowhere to retreat!"

Everyone in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion knew that this result was only a matter of time.

But his men in the Zhenguo Mansion defended their country and shed their blood on the border. In his long dream, not a single old, weak, woman or child in the Zhenguo Mansion had a good end!

How tragic!

How ridiculous!

"Cousin, this dream will take place in three years, so we still have time to prepare."

"Three years later?"
