After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom
Chapter 59 Is everything ready for my cousin?
"Miss, where is your handkerchief embroidered with plum blossoms?"
"I don't know. Look for it."
Bai Youyou was basking in the sun in the yard, holding a travel journal in one hand and taking a bite of an apple in the other.
Lu Chen walked over quickly, a smile on his lips, "Youyou."
"cousin."
Bai Youyou sat up from the rocking chair, and seeing his excitement, she asked with a smile, "But did you find the person?"
"Ah."
Lu Chen nodded, "I have an appointment with him at Jufulou, let's go together."
"Is it reliable?"
"You'll know when you go see it."
Bai Youyou brought Xiaoju to Jufubao. When she saw the people in the box, she was stunned.
"Cousin, he..."
Lu Chen asked Xiaoju to wait outside the door. He closed the door, walked to the table, and nodded slightly: "Prince Jiang."
Jiang Tingxiao sat on a chair, playing with a jade snuff bottle in his hand, his brows raised and his expression lazy, "Miss Bai, we meet again."
Bai Youyou frowned slightly, "Is this person reliable?"
Jiang Tingxiao paused while playing with the jade snuff bottle, and his smile could no longer be maintained. He sat up straight and said unhappily, "You don't know how to be modest when you say bad things about others. You know that it's easy to get beaten if you do this?"
Lu Chen looked at him apologetically, and then looked at Bai Youyou, "This person was recommended by my grandmother."
"He drugged my grandmother?"
Bai Youyou was very puzzled. How could her grandmother, who was such a wise person, believe such an unreasonable person?
Her voice was no different from usual, and when she spoke it in public, Lu Chen quietly pulled her sleeve.
"Prince Jiang sent Grandfather 100,000 grains and fodder a few days ago. Grandfather and my elder brother should be able to get through this harsh winter safely this year."
"Humph."
Seeing Bai Youyou looking at him, Jiang Tingxiao turned his head away proudly and snorted.
There was surprise in Bai Youyou's eyes.
If the emperor knew that he had privately donated 100,000 grains to the Duke of Zhenguo, he would definitely regard the Earl of Weining's Mansion and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion as birds of a feather.
If the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is demoted one day, the Earl of Weining's Mansion will definitely not stay out of it.
This move also tied the two families together. She smiled and said, "Prince Jiang, you are so righteous. I judged him by his appearance. I'm sorry."
Jiang Tingxiao snorted, "I am a magnanimous prince, and I won't bother with a little girl like you."
"Prince Jiang, I asked you out today because I want to ask you for a favor."
"We are all in the same boat, so just speak your mind."
Bai Youyou poured him a cup of tea and said, "It's like this. I recently got a prescription and wanted to start a business. But you also know the current situation of my Zhenguo Mansion. It's not easy to run it on your own, so I want to put this business under your name."
"Just that?"
Jiang Tingxiao was a little surprised.
You secretly asked me to come here just for this?
Considering the current situation of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, it is normal for them to want to do something to make a living.
"Well, I just want to invite you to be the boss." Bai Youyou said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let you be the boss for nothing. I will give you 10% of the profit from my business."
"Need not."
Jiang Tingxiao refused without a second thought, "You should keep the little money you earn for yourself. I don't need it."
A little girl could earn a few taels of silver. Maybe she could do it for a few days, but then she would give up the idea because she knew that money was hard to earn.
"You really don't want it?"
Knowing that he looked down on her, Bai Youyou asked again: "That's 10% of the net profit."
"Keep it for yourself and buy some candied haws."
Jiang Tingxiao thought of her distorted face when she ate candied haws that day, and couldn't help laughing again, "Do you want to eat candied haws? I'll treat you."
Bai Youyou rolled his eyes at him and said, "Forget it if you don't want it, but don't regret it later."
"I don't even care about your little things, keep them for yourself."
Jiang Tingxiao stood up lazily, "Okay, I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you two any longer."
After he left, Bai Youyou and Lu Chen discussed what to do next.
There are many people in the Marquis' Mansion and they all have their own thoughts. It is safer to use people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
"Choose a secluded farm and send someone to buy these things. Also, make a few more large iron pots."
Lu Chen remembered everything she told him. The two of them talked for half an hour before leaving Jufulou together.
As soon as he went out, he saw a vendor selling candied haws with a target on his shoulder, and Bai Youyou suddenly felt a pang of pain in his teeth.
There was still some time before dark, so Bai Youyou asked Lu Chen to go back first. She and Xiaoju walked around the street and looked at the market.
Xiaoju was not afraid of sour food, so Bai Youyou bought her a string of candied haws. She munched on the candied haws and followed Bai Youyou skipping and jumping.
"Miss, there's something exciting going on ahead."
A lot of people formed a circle in front, and Bai Youyou also liked to join in the fun, so the two of them quickened their pace and squeezed into the crowd.
A woman was lying on a torn straw mat on the ground. Under a worn quilt with gray patches, her skinny face was a sickly sallow color.
The little girl was not very old, and looked to be only nine or ten years old.
Just as she was about to hear what happened, a thin, pretty woman took out two taels of silver and gave it to the crying girl on the ground.
"Use it to buy a thin coffin for your mother."
"Thank you, benefactor, thank you, benefactor!"
The little girl held the silver and kowtowed to the woman continuously.
Bai Youyou took a look at the woman and judging from her clothes, she should be a lady from some family.
As she was thinking, Xiaoju leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Miss, that's the second young lady of the Xue family."
"The second young lady of the Xue family?"
"It's the second young lady of the Xue family who is proposing marriage to the eldest young master."
When the Marquis' Mansion held a banquet before, Miss Xue was invited, and Xiaoju still remembered her.
"is her?"
Bai Youyou searched her memory and remembered the identity of the person in front of her - Xue Fangning, the second daughter of the Xue family.
This girl was very gentle and kind. When she came to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, she just sat quietly in the corner with a smile on her lips.
For Bai Mulin, that hypocrite, marrying such a kind girl is like throwing flowers on cow dung.
Thinking of Bai Mulin's mistress, Bai Youyou stroked his chin and his eyes moved.
"Let's go back."
The crowd dispersed, and Bai Youyou left with them.
I just returned home and unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.
"Fourth sister."
When Bai Yaoyao saw her, she and a little girl in a rose pink brocade jacket quickened their pace.
"Cousin Youyou."
When they stood in front of her, Bai Yaoyao took her hand and said, "Sister, my cousin Yanyan and I are going to the Camellia Garden tomorrow. Shall we go together?"
Bai Youyou looked at Qiao Yanyan, who had a thin face and a black mole on her right lip, with a playful expression.
This is Aunt Qiao's niece. She has liked Bai Mulin since she was a child. Unfortunately, Aunt Qiao looked down on her because her mother was just a foot-washing maid, so she has been pretending to be stupid.
Knowing that these two were plotting something bad to do to her, she curled her lips and said, "Okay."
Tomorrow is the day she saves people.
Bai Yaoyao and Qiao Yanyan looked at her back and smiled at each other.
"Is everything ready, cousin?"
