Mo Chenxi felt a little regretful now. She had taken it for granted. It was her idea to open the restaurant, and it was also her idea to play tricks on her.

Now it has implicated my father.

If she buys it and rebuilds it, it will cost a huge amount of money. The Mo family will have to invest all their property. In the future, they will be targeted. Not in the future, but now they have offended people and are being targeted. If they really punish her and make her lose everything, what can she do if she only has the strong heart of a time-traveling woman?

She only has one good friend, Mrs. Zhao, but she doesn't have the ability to be her backer.

If you don't do business, will you just waste your money on it?

Mo Chenxi said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not thinking long-term. What should I do next? If nothing works, then I'll just do nothing and leave it empty for now."

Mo Yuanji shook his head and said, "That needs to be repaired. Otherwise, two shops on the same street will be burned down and become a mess. The people in charge of the market will not be willing to do that. The shops will be vacant and either rented out or sold. There is a time limit, otherwise you have to pay a fine."

Mo Chenxi thought, no wonder the two owners were so anxious to sell at such a low price.

So she really got her father into trouble.

Seeing his daughter's sad expression, Mo Yuanji said, "You know doing business isn't as easy as just having a few recipes or cooking well. You must think carefully about things in the future."

Mo Chenxi nodded, "Dad, I understand."

"Now that we're in such a predicament, Dad, go and verify it. If it's really the brother-in-law of Prince Weixing who did it, I can't just sit there and wait to be bullied."

Mo Chenxi looked at his father with confusion and questioning eyes.

"You don't need to know too much about the above matters, and you won't have any dealings with anyone from the Prince's Mansion in the future. He's using rumors to frame me and wants me to fall to pieces. I don't have the ability to do that, but I know Prince Weixing will never let his brother-in-law cause him any trouble."

Mo Chenxi understood this, which meant that he wanted the prince to deal with his brother-in-law.

She asked, "Then won't that brother-in-law hate our family even more?"

"If we don't do anything, will he let me go? Don't worry about it, let Dad handle it. Take care of yourself and don't get into any trouble again, so that Mom and Dad can rest assured."

Mo Yuanji bought the shop that was burned down at a 40% discount, and bought the shop that was not burned, like Yingkelai, at a 40% discount. The two shop owners were so grateful that they shed tears and called him a great philanthropist.

After the shop was sold, someone would definitely ask about the price. The owner said that people outside gave Mo Yuanji a thumbs up.

This is noble righteousness. It does not mean taking advantage of others when they are in trouble. I have only heard of bargaining for the price when buying a shop, but I have never heard of raising the price and paying money.

Those who had previously doubted Mo Yuanji no longer had any doubts.

People were curious about what kind of business Mr. Mo would do.

After Mo Yuanji finished all this, he brought his two sons, dressed formally, and drove a horse-drawn carriage with many gifts on it. Each gift was in two gift boxes, one of which was dried vegetables made last year, and the other was an ordinary gift for others.

He personally visited every store on East Street, gave gifts, sat down and chatted with them, saying that they would all make a living on the street in the future. He was old, and his son was a scholar, but his son's brother-in-law was quite interested in doing business.

Needless to say, everyone knows that the Mo family, as a family of scholars, cannot do business themselves, so the shop is registered under the name of a relative.

The powerful and wealthy families all have businesses, and they are all registered under other people's names.

Mo Yuanji went to every store. He had been to the pancake shop and the braised meat shop before and went in to give gifts.

After he left, everyone opened their gifts, which were just a handful of dried vegetables. They felt that the gift seemed a bit cheap.

What does Mr. Mo mean?

Then go and find out.

When I inquired about Mo Yuanji's nickname, I heard that it was given by some high-ranking official.

The Peng family's housekeeper heard someone discussing this matter and said casually, "My grandfather once accepted some dried vegetables from Master Mo."

What kind of family is the Peng family? If the Peng family doesn't despise them, why should those merchants despise them?

I had originally left it uneaten and was planning to throw it into the泔水袋 later, so I quickly took it out and prepared to cook it properly.

After untying the rope that bound the dried vegetables, there was a note inside that stated when the dried vegetables were dried, how long they were dried, and what dishes they were used for.

For example, there is a kind of dried green vegetable with the words: Cook with bones into porridge.

Everyone made it according to the recipe, but I didn’t think it was very delicious. It’s just that in winter when there are no vegetables, you can eat it as a dish.

It is impossible that there is only Yingkelai Restaurant on East Street. There are several restaurants of different sizes. These restaurants are wondering if Mr. Mo also wants to open a restaurant?

Although competitors are enemies, it is impossible for you to be the only restaurant on a street. If one of your restaurants does well, it can also boost the business of your competitors.

They were also looking forward to Mr. Mo opening a restaurant.

Mo Chenxi thought that before He Wenyan came back, she would stay in the manor for a while. Most importantly, she wanted to go to Shuangfeng Temple to burn incense and light a perpetual lamp for Mrs. Chang, hoping that she could let go of her grudges and reincarnate as soon as possible.

He Wenliang personally sent his sister-in-law there. During this period, he brought his nephew to come two or three times and told Mother Liao not to trouble the lady if she had any problems, and to send someone to tell him if she needed anything.

He wanted his sister-in-law to have a good rest.

After settling down on the first day, Mo Chenxi took his eldest son and two younger ones up the mountain on the second day.

This time, He Shanluo was obviously different from the last time. Although his expression showed worry and sadness, he was full of life.

He supported Mo Chenxi all the way up the mountain. When there was a place to rest, he let his mother rest for a while and also kept an eye on his two younger brothers and sisters at all times.

This is a sign of growth.

After entering the temple, Mo Chenxi first kowtowed to everyone, then met the abbot and donated some silver to light a perpetual lamp for Mrs. Chang.

As luck would have it, Queen Mother Wang and her cousin were also in the temple. Queen Mother Wang arranged for her cousin Wang Jingye to live in the manor. No one in the capital knew that Wang Jingye had any connection with the royal family. To the outside world, he was a businessman.

Wang Jingye saw Mrs. Mo coming to burn incense. He recognized Mrs. Mo, but Mrs. Mo did not recognize him.

Wang Jingye went to the Buddhist temple and said as soon as he entered: "Cousin, I just saw the possessed lady coming."

The Queen Mother asked, "Is it Mrs. Mo?"

"Hey, does your cousin know you?"

The Queen Mother told her how they knew each other, but Mrs. Mo didn't know who she was.

Wang Jingye heard that Mo sent the Queen Mother a chicken and laughed, "Why are the father and daughter the same? I heard that Master Mo sent dried vegetables to people on the street. This man is smart and reminded others that his name is Mo Gancai."

Because he helped out at that time, he also paid attention to the development of this matter. He was an active person by nature. When there was a fire next to Yingkelai, Yingkelai was also burned down. Most people would initially think that it was Mo Yuanji who did it in order to lower the price to buy the shop.

Wang Jingye thought so at first, but when Mo Yuanji did not lower the price but instead raised the price, he became even more curious and told his cousin about it.

Queen Mother Wang had already known from Eunuch Liang that it was Prince Weixing's brother-in-law who did it, and she told him when her cousin mentioned it.

Wang Jingye became even more curious and wanted to see what Mo Yuanji would do next. He didn't expect to meet his daughter coming to Shuangfeng Temple today, and he didn't expect that the Empress Dowager actually knew her.
