Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Chapter 182: Supporting the Family Together

Jin Bao smiled: "Princess, we still want the palace guards to teach us a few moves."

Ye Youlan said: "Okay!"

Youlan asked Dingxiang to call a guard over to inform the three families so that their families would not worry.

"What's your name, little friend? Where do you live?"

Ding Xiaoshan had a smile on his thin face. "My name is Ding Xiaoshan. I live in the third house on the west end of Tongluo Lane. My father is Ding Dashan, a blacksmith, and my mother washes clothes for others."

Ye Youlan looked at Ding Xiaoshan and thought that all the people living in Tongluo Lane were from poor families. Xiaoshan didn't feel inferior at all when making friends with two children from wealthy families. He was really likable.

Ding Xiang went to make the arrangements, and Ye Youlan said to the three of them, "Guard Li is not at home today. I will let another guard teach you. He is also a very powerful guard."

Then Li Yi came. The three of them were still a little skeptical when they saw the young and tall Li Yi. But when Li Yi picked a leaf and directly broke a branch in the garden, the three of them were shocked and surrounded Li Yi to learn this trick.

Ye Youlan said to Xiaomei who came over to watch with emotion: "This person, you have to rely on your strength to speak. Your man is so powerful."

Xiaomei looked pleased with herself, "Thank you, Princess, for choosing a good man for me." But she immediately had a question: "Princess, we didn't even know what Li Yi looked like back then. How could you be so sure that he was a good man? And why did you keep asking me to marry him?"

Ye Youlan raised her chin slightly. How should I put it? This is the law in novels. The servants of the hero and heroine must be together. The protagonists can love each other madly and suffer heartbreak, but their servants can be a loving and interesting couple.

"It's just intuition. The prince is so good-looking, so there won't be any ugly people under his command."

The Seventh Prince and Li Zhi came back very late. After returning, they did not go back to the room to see Ye Youlan directly, but went to the study and talked for a long time.

Ye Youlan slept until dawn. She stretched and bumped into the Seventh Prince beside her.

"When did you come back?"

The Seventh Prince sighed softly, "You didn't even care whether I came back or not, and you actually slept until dawn. You really have a big heart."

Ye Youlan said with a guilty conscience, "We are telepathic, so I know you'll be fine. Besides, we've had a few incidents recently, and you can't just fleece someone like that. Bad guys have brains too."

Ye Youlan curiously asked him why he came back so late yesterday. The idle prince was not idle at all, he was busier than the ministers in the court.

"I went to the Dali Temple and found some clues about who poisoned you. Someone hired some desperate criminals to set up a trap to kill you. Of course, it's also possible that they were trying to kill me. Their whereabouts are uncertain now, so we need to arrest one of them before we can get further clues."

Ye Youlan didn't care about this now. She told the Seventh Prince what Jinbao's three children said when they came to the palace yesterday.

"Are you saying that the murderer of Mr. Zhang has been replaced?"

Ye Youlan nodded: "Who do you think has such great ability? Isn't this suspicious?"

The Seventh Prince pondered for a moment. "This kind of thing has been done before. They've found a death row inmate with a similar appearance and build to replace the one who was executed. People die of illness in prison every day, or are tortured to death during interrogation. The manipulation involved is truly massive, but if they do it, there will be traces. I'll have someone keep an eye on it."

"Jinghua Academy has also sent people to keep an eye on it."

"My people are there."

"It must be very expensive for you to support so many people. No, I have to find a way to make more money to help you support the family."

"Get up, it's a man's job to support the family."

"I can do it too. Haven't you seen that my business is getting better and better?"

"Okay, let's raise a family together."

The two of them had a simple breakfast, a bowl of porridge and two buns, and then they went about their business.

Ye Youlan called Xiaomei to the studio and asked her to pick five men and five women from the mansion to form a management team. This matter must be put on the agenda.

"Princess, are you saying that Li Yi and I didn't do a good job?"

"You're doing great, but the business is getting bigger and bigger, and you and Li Yi are too busy to handle it, so I'm assigning you a few subordinates to run errands, and you'll just be responsible for making the arrangements."

Xiaomei said happily, "I'll arrange it right away."

Ye Youlan thought that her current business was all based on Rongji. Standing on the shoulders of giants, it should be easier for her to create her own brand. Small-scale operations would not satisfy her appetite.

She decided to start with a grocery store, similar to the small supermarket at the entrance of the community. Of course, Rongji would be the main supplier, with others as a supplement. So Ye Youlan decided to go out and look for a suitable store when she had time.

The Prime Minister and his family were having dinner when Li Yi came in carrying a gift box. "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, this is the Snow Mist Tea my prince asked me to bring you. The quantity is very small this year, only two taels. The other teas are also top-quality teas that can be paired with it."

Upon hearing that there was Snow Mist Tea, the Prime Minister asked Li Yi to hand over the gift box quickly. He opened the gift box and found four boxes inside, each box was filled with tea, including Snow Mist, Guapian, Maofeng, and Longjing.

"Thank the prince for me and tell him that he is thoughtful." The prime minister was very happy and decided to make a pot of tea and savor it slowly.

General Ye curled his lips. "This brother-in-law is quite good at pleasing his father-in-law. Why is he only concerned with pleasing his father-in-law? Isn't my mother-in-law important? Aren't my eldest brother and his wife important?"

Li Yi said respectfully, "I will go back and report to the prince what the general wants."

General Ye laughed, "I'm just kidding. He's so attentive even after marrying my sister. It shows he really loves her, right, Prime Minister?"

The prime minister glared at him and said, "You have no respect for your elders."

Mrs. Ye asked Li Yike if he had eaten enough. If not, he could stay and eat something.

Li Yi said, "I'm not hungry. There's one more thing. The prince said that the prime minister and his family should not be busy resting at the hour of Xu. There will be a surprise."

After Li Yi left, the prime minister and his family looked at each other and asked, "What surprise?"

Everyone was confused and could only wait until the evening of Xu to see what the Seventh Prince would do.

In the evening, Ye Youlan pestered the Seventh Prince to go out for a walk. She wanted to see if there was a suitable shop.

The Seventh Prince agreed readily.

The two men changed into ordinary clothes and went out, while Li Zhi and other guards followed behind in a low-key manner.

The two walked along three streets and went through five alleys but still couldn't find a satisfactory store.

"If you want a shop, just buy it."

"I run a small business, and the money I earn in a year is not enough to cover the rent for the shop. It's not cost-effective."

"So what kind of store do you want? Just tell me your requirements and let Li Yi and the others find a few suitable stores. Then you can go over and confirm. Wouldn't that save time?"

Ye Youlan stopped and looked at him unhappily: "I find that you men are all the same, you are good at everything except accompanying women shopping."

"I'm different from other men. I'm just making a small suggestion."

"Okay, you're right."

"We have a surprise when we get home."

Ye Youlan looked at the mysterious look of the Seventh Prince and couldn't help but wonder what the surprise was.

"We'll find out when we get back."
