No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Drinks?

Business?

The Fourth Master paused as he was stroking her head and said hesitantly, "Cha Cha is short of money?"

No way.

He made a lot of money this year and was very generous in spending money on the backyard, especially on Cha Cha.

Not to mention the monthly rewards and so on, the silver notes, gold and silver ingots given to her privately alone amounted to several thousand taels, not to mention the 20,000 taels for lanterns at the beginning of the year.

Is this... all spent?

Lin Mingyan shook her head: "I'm not short of money, but this doesn't conflict with my desire to make money."

Money doesn't bite, so who would complain about having too much money?

If she hadn't thought that Bannermen couldn't do business, she would have done it secretly.

"Oh? What kind of business does Cha Cha want to start?" The Fourth Master started talking to her as if it were just a casual chat.

Lin Mingyan said, "In the early days, I was in the wine business. Look at my Shenxianzui. Isn't it very popular?"

The Fourth Master had tasted the feeling of being drunk before, and even though he didn't like drinking, he thought it was good.

But, "Is the production volume of this wine high? Can the quality be stable?"

"Our production volume isn't large, but we're selling high-quality, high-end products. Large quantities won't make them look good," Lin Mingyan explained her hunger marketing strategy. "As for quality, of course, we have to guarantee it."

"And I recently discovered that there are people making glass on the market. When the distillation equipment and packaging are replaced with glass, the quality will only be better!"

Her wine relies on distillation technology. Of course, such wine has no market compared with the fine products of later generations.

Although some people had mastered the distillation technology and shochu existed at this time, it was still a secret recipe known to only a few people.

If Lin Mingyan used glassware for distillation, the wine would be stronger than other wines on the market.

Add in the glass bottle packaging and some advanced marketing, and it'll definitely become famous, right?!

"It's OK to earn some pocket money," the Fourth Master didn't object, and pointed out, "There's no explicit rule that prohibits bannermen from doing business, not to mention that even if there were a rule, it wouldn't apply to me."

The rules are set by the upper class. They are for others to follow, not to confine them.

Besides, which of the more famous shops in Beijing does not have high-ranking officials and nobles behind them?

Is it really that the Han people cannot do it?

Lin Mingyan excitedly grabbed his hand and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll show off my skills!"

"Oh, but I still have to talk to the glass seller. I don't know how much it will cost." Lin Mingyan was a little worried.

She didn't know if this little money was enough to customize a few sets of glassware. After all, glass was an expensive commodity at that time.

The Fourth Master gave a mysterious smile, which Lin Mingyan caught immediately. She widened her eyes and asked, "Yinzhen, do you know Yuli's boss?"

Yes, he seems to be giving her some glass toys often recently.

From a palace lantern or a folding screen to a vase or a paperweight, there is glass.

Is this taking care of other people's business?

The Fourth Master's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, and he said complacently: "That Yuli is the one I opened."

"Whatever vessel you want, just give the blueprint to Gao Ziliang and ask him to buy it for you."

"Yours?!" Lin Mingyan's jaw was almost dislocated. "Master, you can also do this?!"

no.

No one had ever told her that the Fourth Master had this ability.

The recipe for Liuli is different from that for distilled liquor. It is indeed a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation.

Although Lin Mingyan had heard of using quartz sand to make glass in modern times, she was completely in the dark when it came to ancient times.

Why did the Fourth Master start a glass shop?

Is this the destiny of the Destiny Child? !

The Fourth Master did not hide anything from her and told her about Yi Shi's affairs: "Yi Shi is a bit strange, so I took advantage of her."

"She was probably afraid she'd die, so she offered me this Liuli recipe, which was a huge help."

I don’t know where she got it, but the glass made according to this recipe is clearer.

No matter what color the glass is, it is fired more evenly and surpasses other products on the market as soon as it is taken out.

In just half a year, the colored glaze produced by Yuli has completely captured the high-end market in Beijing.

Not long ago, he sent someone to visit the branch in Jiangnan and heard that the response was even more enthusiastic.

The land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River was extremely rich, and the silver flowed into his pocket continuously.

"Yi?" Lin Mingyan suffered a huge blow today.

This time she connected her previous suspicion of a time traveler with the Yi family. It seems that this person is also a capable person in modern times.

But it seems that she was not doing well. Not only did she become mute, but she also drowned.

However, since he is a time traveler, he might have other abilities, so he might not be really dead.

Lin Mingyan struggled for a moment and said, "Yinzhen, Yi is so capable, could she really have drowned in the lake?"

"This... the court doctor has confirmed that she is dead," the Fourth Master frowned. "And from the time she breathed her last in the early morning until she was returned to the Yi family the next day, she was silent for a full five hours."

He knew that there was something strange about Yi, and he instructed his servants to feed her a deadly poison, so that even if she pretended to be dead, she would not be able to survive.

But there is no need to tell Cha Cha about this, so as not to scare her.

Lin Mingyan didn't believe it. How could a time traveler be without faking his death?

She reminded him again: "Why don't you quietly inquire about Yi's tomb and have someone check it out for peace of mind."

After hearing this, the Fourth Master didn't say anything else. It wasn't a big deal, and it would indeed make him feel more at ease if he checked it out.

"Okay, don't worry about it," the Fourth Master didn't want to upset her.

And even if Yi is alive, it’s not a big problem, and it won’t endanger Cha Cha anymore.

Lin Mingyan's mind was exhausted from taking in so many unusual things, and she soon fell into a drowsy sleep.

The Fourth Master made sure that she was asleep before knocking on the window. A secret guard came in from outside.

"Go find someone to follow the Lin family. Don't let them die, and don't let them have an easy life." The Fourth Master was also a narrow-minded person. He would make those who bullied Cha Cha suffer a fate worse than death.

"Also, find someone to secretly inquire about the Yi family's tomb to see if there is anyone inside."

The secret guard took the order and left, and soon found the trace of Lin Bai and his mother.

Lin Bo was beaten and thrown out, and he didn't even have the strength to move.

Fortunately, Old Mrs. Lin was not really sick. She used all her strength to drag her big son back to the dilapidated temple where the mother and daughter were staying.

But she had no money and couldn't even take her son to see a doctor.

Lin Bo had completely fainted at this time and had a high fever.

Wei Wu lay on the roof of the ruined temple and looked down, only to see a lot of blood on Lin Bo's body.

Because he was beaten with a stick and could only lie down, Mrs. Lin was afraid that he would suffocate to death by the pressure on his mouth and nose.

Turning his head to the side, his thin cheeks were abnormally red.

Lin Bo kept talking nonsense and called out "Zhen'er" from time to time.

Old Mrs. Lin cared for him with such heartache that her tears almost dried up...
