It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room

An listened carefully, and when Ye Nanyue finished speaking, An's eyes lit up surprisingly.

Looking at Ye Nanyue, his eyes were full of admiration and surprise: "Madam Ye is smart. I have never heard of such a method."

"It's just that...if this is really how it's done...business will definitely be great."

Ye Nanyan nodded: "As long as business is good."

An thought for a moment and said, "I'll take care of these matters, and Madam Ye will provide the methods and technology. In the future, we might even open other branches."

"If we split it up... Madam Ye, how about a 70/30 split? I'll take 30, and you'll take 70."

Ye Nanyan was a little surprised. She glanced at An in astonishment, then shook her head and said, "That's not necessary. I don't have anything. I just provide some skills. Madam will take care of the rest. Let's split it 50-50."

Mrs. An was very persistent: "It's 30/70. Madam Ye is very clever. I just hope that if you have any new ideas in the future, you will be willing to work with me and make money together with me."

An thought, this is the seventh prince's wife.

How dare she take advantage of this?

Even 30% is a lot for her.

This kind of business is a sure win, and if she hadn't been lucky, she wouldn't have encountered such a good thing.

When Ye Nanyue heard An say this, she knew she was determined.

Besides, the recipe and sales methods were all her ideas, so there was nothing wrong with An's distribution.

Ye Nanyan nodded and said to An: "Since Madam says so, then it is settled."

"By the way, I plan to teach my mother and two sisters-in-law how to make this pine cake. They may set up stalls in this county town to sell it." Ye Nanyue said.

Apart from a few men working on the farm, there was no other way for the family to make a living.

Ye Nanyue felt that it would be better to start more small businesses and slowly let the Ye family prosper together.

Waiting for my third brother to take the imperial examination won’t happen that quickly, it will take time.

Even if the third brother passed the imperial examination, the eldest and second brothers still needed to make a living to support the family.

The imperial examination alone is not enough.

She has to bring her family with her to make money.

This way, I will feel more at ease when she returns in the future.

An nodded. "That's not a bad idea. This place is close to the capital. Let the reputation of Song Song Cake spread to the capital first. I'll find a shop first, decorate it, and open it to welcome customers. Only then will it have some reputation."

After the two of them agreed, Ye Nanyue went back in the dark.

An arranged a donkey cart to send the person back, asked two yamen runners to protect her on the way, and also asked her personal nanny to send the person off, fearing that it would be inconvenient for her.

After Ye Nanyue left, County Magistrate Lu returned to An's courtyard.

Seeing that An's expression was cheerful and she no longer had the lethargy from the menstrual cramps of the past few days, he smiled and said, "Madam seems to be in a good mood. Is there any good news?"

An looked at him and said, "My husband seems to be in a good mood. Why don't you tell me if you have any good news?"

Magistrate Lu nodded and said, "The Ministry of Works has replied to my report. Everything Madam Ye requested has been granted."

"The personal steward of the Minister of Works sent me a letter, telling me... that this is because I have made a great contribution, and His Majesty will come to the county in two days for a private visit in disguise."

"Is it?"

An's face was filled with surprise: "My husband is very happy. If he can see His Majesty, perhaps his return to the capital will be just around the corner!"

Magistrate Lu's face was filled with a smile, which he could not suppress. "Indeed, this is a big deal. You must prepare well. Perhaps... you will have to go to Yejia Village when the time comes. I believe His Majesty will definitely want to check on the planting situation."

"The steward of the Minister of Works said that after the Imperial Observatory took a look, they also proposed building a water conservancy project to store water."

"You have to prepare well. You might even have to meet with Madam Ye and ask her if she has any good suggestions for water storage and water conservancy projects."

If I go there at that time, An is a female relative, so she will definitely be the one to take charge.

An nodded, her expression becoming more serious. She couldn't help but ask Magistrate Lu, "Then... does Your Majesty know the identity of the Seventh Prince?"

If he knew about it, but His Majesty didn't issue an order blaming him for staying near the capital, this would be an important piece of information!

Magistrate Lu nodded and said, "That's not what he said. Who dares to guess or tell what the emperor is thinking?"

Magistrate Lu lowered his voice and said to An, "It's just that... there's no imperial decree from the palace. They must have known something, otherwise... the Imperial Guards would have taken the person away long ago, and something would have happened to the Seventh Prince's mother in the palace long ago."

An nodded, her smile growing wider: "I congratulate my husband, and we will be back in Beijing soon!"

County Magistrate Lu was in a good mood and nodded: "Very good, very good."

Magistrate Lu looked at An and said, "You should spend more time with the Seventh Prince's wife. If she has any requests, even if I haven't noticed them, you should satisfy them and help resolve them."

An nodded: "Do I need your instructions, my husband? I know what to do."

County Magistrate Lu nodded and said, "By the way, what's the good news, Madam?"

An smiled and took out the cake base, cake box, thousand-layer cake, and those exquisite little cakes left by Ye Nanyue, and showed them to County Magistrate Lu one by one, and then let him taste them.

Then, he carefully told County Magistrate Lu all the sales methods that Ye Nanyue had mentioned.

Magistrate Lu listened carefully and nodded. "As expected, she is the woman chosen by the Seventh Prince. She is truly extraordinary. The Seventh Prince... has a bright future!"

"Now, several princes in the palace are vying for the position of crown prince. On the surface, everything seems calm, but undercurrents are surging."

"On the contrary, the Seventh Prince was demoted and faded from view, allowing the other party to profit."

"Plus, he's capable, well-educated, and has such a virtuous wife...his hopes are enormous!"

An was intelligent and the couple had a harmonious relationship, so County Magistrate Lu was willing to tell her about this.

An listened and nodded: "My husband is right, but... the Seventh Prince has been a tenant farmer for many years. Can't he rely entirely on my help?"

"I was just about to praise the lady, but she said this, showing her shortsightedness," said Magistrate Lu.

An gave Magistrate Lu a reproachful look and said, "Please advise me, my husband."

Magistrate Lu said, "The princes in the palace are busy forming cliques, but few actually do anything."

"On the contrary, officials who were demoted for their friendship with the Seventh Prince are now doing practical work in remote areas."

"Not to mention the people he trained and the military power he held, just the people under his command are spread across every remote corner."

"As far as I know, more than a dozen county magistrates have already found the seeds of these potatoes and are ready to plant them."

"I heard... there's a county magistrate in Jiangnan, a former aide to the Seventh Prince, who discovered another type of edible seed. It's larger than potato seeds, but there aren't many of them."

"That person has already delivered the gift to the Seventh Prince... If His Majesty were to see him, how would you feel about him, compared to those princes who pretend to be filial in front of him every day while secretly colluding with powerful officials?"
