My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

Huaying looked at her father and said seriously, "Dad, the reason why my small business can make some money is because of the word 'new'! Taohua Town is located in the northwest region, where wheat is the main crop. Wheat can be used to make pasta, so the locals like to eat pasta. They usually don't have many kinds of pasta, only noodles, pancakes and buns. Liangpi appeared in front of them as a new pasta, and most people accepted it.

Moreover, the locals have a strong taste, and cold noodles have a refreshing, fresh, fragrant and spicy taste, which meets the taste needs of the locals.

In comparison, if those exquisite dim sum shops in the capital were opened in the northwest, the money they earned would probably not be as much as that from noodles.

More importantly, Liangpi can be eaten all year round, so it is a long-term and stable small business! It is good enough to make a living by making a little money. "

Lord Shen looked at his daughter who was talking to him about business, and he could not help but feel a sense of strangeness. He had always taught Ning'er to follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues and to be gentle and virtuous.

But now it seems that she has her own ideas and insights. Where did she learn these business methods?

At this time, Shen Nanting and Shen Nanxing, who were sitting at the other side of the table, were also looking at Huaying in surprise. They originally thought that their sister was just talking casually, but they didn't expect that she had such a deep understanding and unique insights into business.

The mother listened in disbelief as Huaying analyzed the intricacies of business. Her arrogant Ning'er had really changed.

For a moment, the family's eyes were focused on Huaying, waiting for her to continue speaking.

Lord Shen couldn't help but ask again, "Then, is the largest restaurant in Taohua Town, Zui Jiang Yue, also run by you?"

Huaying bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "Dad, I guess so. This restaurant is indeed managed by my daughter. At the beginning, Fu Shiyan paid for the decoration and purchase of various items, and the formulation of the menu, the management and training of the store workers, and the soft furnishing of the store are all my daughter's contribution.

He once saved my daughter's life, so there is a debt of gratitude between us, and he will give me 50% of the money he earns."

When Lord Shen heard about the 50% dividend, he was shocked again, but he remained calm and spoke to Huaying.

"When I see Fu Shiyan someday, I will definitely be grateful to him for saving your life. To be able to set up the largest restaurant in the area in such a short period of time, he is definitely not a simple person."

Shen Nanting, who was standing by, heard his father's disdain for Fu Shiyan's evaluation and thought, why praise him? He is just taking advantage of my sister.

After Lord Shen finished speaking, a name flashed through his mind. He suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Shen Nanting who was sitting opposite him, "The eldest son of Lord Fu's family is named Fu Shichen. Do you know what the name of his second son is?"

Lord Shen and Lord Fu serve as the left and right prime ministers in the court. Although they have many disagreements on court affairs, their goal is to serve the Wu Kingdom wholeheartedly.

On the way to and from the court, officials rarely discussed family matters. Only officials who were in-laws would occasionally talk about their children. Therefore, everyone only knew the general situation of their colleagues' family affairs.

In this dynasty, officials had close relationships with each other privately and had frequent contacts, which easily aroused suspicion and investigation from the emperor, who had just established the Wu Kingdom two years ago.

Shen Nanting frowned and thought for a while, but he couldn't think of a person named Mr. Fu Er in his mind, so he said to his father: "Tomorrow, I will go to the Hanlin Academy to ask."

Lord Shen nodded, turned to look at Huaying, and asked, "Ning'er, are you really going to do business?"

Huaying looked at her father, nodded firmly, stood up, bowed to her father, and said, "I hope Daddy can help me."

Seeing the worry on her father's face, she continued, "Don't worry, Dad. When I go out, I will wear a veil and use a pseudonym. I will never bring any trouble to the Shen family, and I will not let the officials suspect the Shen family."

Lord Shen looked at Huaying's resolute attitude, sighed, and said: "These are not important. After all, even the young prince Wu of the Rui Palace is doing business. But, you are a girl running around outside, and your father is worried.

Please wait a moment. I will present a memorial to the Emperor. After the Emperor approves it, we can make plans. Is that okay?"

Hearing her father's words, Huaying smiled. She bowed to her father again and said gratefully, "Thank you, father."

Lord Shen raised the corners of his mouth slightly with a faint smile, and gazed at Huaying gently.

Shen Nanxing, who had been silent the whole time, raised her head and cast her gaze towards Huaying. A curious smile appeared on her face, and she asked softly, "Sister, what exactly does the cold noodle and spicy food you mentioned taste like? Is it delicious? Can you make some so that we can all have a taste?"

Huaying felt the gazes of the other three people, which contained a hint of expectation.

Huaying stood up with a smile, bowed to the three of them a little embarrassedly, and said softly: "Ning'er was negligent. I will serve the cold noodles at lunch tomorrow so that Dad, Mom and my brothers can have a taste."

Seeing this, Mrs. Shen also chuckled and said to the children, "Since we can only eat cold noodles tomorrow, can you guys finish your meal today?"

Upon hearing this, Huaying and her brothers smiled and nodded in agreement.

Before I knew it, it was already late at night. The drizzle began to fall silently like silver threads.

The Left Prime Minister sat alone in the study, using the candlelight on the desk as he concentrated on writing the memorial that would be presented to the Emperor at the court tomorrow morning.

At this moment, in the Yanyu Pavilion, the largest brothel on Chang'an Street, there were fragrant women in elegant clothes, the sound of bamboo, and a scene of luxury.

At the back door of Yanyu Pavilion, a girl dressed in plain maid's clothes opened the door. The wind blew her hair in front of her face, revealing a hideous scar on her pretty face, which made her look more ruthless.

She walked towards the entrance of the alley carrying a large bag of garbage.

The drizzle was as light as silk, gently wetting her hair and eyelashes, and tiny water droplets condensed and hung on her eyelashes.

However, she didn't care about it at all. She just casually wiped her eyes with her hand, walked to the trash can, and skillfully threw the bag of trash into the can.

Seeing that the drizzle had stopped, the girl looked up at the sky and was about to turn back when a whistle suddenly came from afar. The girl stopped and listened attentively to the source of the sound, and quickly looked up at the roof of the Misty Rain Tower.

Then, she walked slowly to the back of the Misty Rain Tower, and after making sure that there was no one around, she used her Qinggong skills to fly to the roof of the Misty Rain Tower. At this time, Fu Shiyan, wearing a bamboo hat, was sitting on the eaves, staring intently in the direction of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, while Fu Yi stood quietly by the side waiting.

"Fu Ya greets the master!" The girl half-knelt and saluted Fu Shiyan on the eaves. Fu Shiyan's eyes did not leave the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment, he slowly asked, "Is there any progress?"

"The eunuch in the eldest princess's uterus stayed in my aunt's room a few days ago. My aunt used a magic incense to find out the secret preparations and plans of the second and first princes. General Su has secretly met with the first prince many times and offered advice to help him win the position of crown prince.

The eldest son has successfully invented the Sky-shaking Cannon, which has a blasting range of about four meters. The first and second princes received the news and prepared to meet the young master in secret. "

After Fu Ya finished speaking, she continued, "Fu Ya requests permission to go and protect the eldest young master. Please grant my wish, Master."

Fu Shiyan nodded slightly. He knew that this matter was of great importance and could not be taken lightly.

"You must be careful on this trip. Not only must you protect the safety of the eldest son, but you must also pay attention to the movements of the eldest and second princes."

Fu Shiyan warned, "If there is any abnormality, the safety of the eldest master is the first priority."

Fu Ya took the order and turned to leave. She disappeared from the roof in an instant, like a ghost in the dark night.
