Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

"It's not that I doubt you, I'm saying that Madam Zhang is calculating. Don't let her include you in the scheme. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble both inside and outside."

"No need to wait until later. I'm in a difficult situation right now. I helped her cut in line out of kindness, but she ended up throwing dirty water on me."

Li Zong laughed: "Madam Zhang, you are stealing a chicken but losing the rice. Your shop is closed and your house is searched."

Qin Yurou was shocked: "This matter is not serious enough to confiscate the house, right?"

Li Zong snorted and laughed, "Someone took advantage of the situation and reported him. He could have offended anyone but the Seventh Prince. Even if he doesn't go to jail, he will be kicked out."

Li Zong soon stopped laughing. After being investigated, Minister Zhang actually dragged many people into the water. He confessed that when the Jingnan Kingdom delegation came to visit, he gave Lord Li 1,000 taels of silver, and he explained the time, place, and witnesses very clearly.

Li Zong cried out that he was wronged. He didn't receive a thousand taels of silver at all. He only received a hundred taels of silver.

When the ministers in the court looked at him, he realized that accepting one hundred taels was also a bribe.

The emperor punished him by requiring him to hand over 1,000 taels of silver to the national treasury as a warning, and ordered him to return home to reflect on his behavior for seven days and have his salary deducted for three months.

Qin Yurou was so angry that she asked him to go home and kneel in the Buddhist temple.

Ever since the last fire in the Buddhist temple, it has not been repaired. The walls are broken and the autumn wind blows, bringing a chill. Li Zong is unwilling to kneel. After all, he is the Minister. If this gets out, won't he lose face?

Xiao Bao cheered him up: "Young Master, go to the Buddhist temple and pretend to be nice. I'll keep an eye on you outside."

Li Zong raised his foot and kicked Xiao Bao: "There's wind blowing in from all sides, there's no shelter, what are you staring at? I'm not going."

"Master, you've offended the young mistress. What if she gets angry and doesn't care about you?"

No matter how tough Li Zong tried to be, he was afraid that Qin Yurou would quit and run away, and he would not be able to support this family.

"Go get me a soft pillow and a blanket."

The more Qin Yurou thought about it, the angrier she became. She had worked so hard to support the household, saving up a tael of silver at a time, but that idiot had lost a thousand taels in one go.

She was very depressed. How could such a good life turn out like this?

She asked Xiaohong to go to the study to look through the young master's things to see if he had any private money.

"Will the young master be angry if he finds out?"

"who cares!"

Xiaohong went to the study and rummaged around for about an incense stick of time, then found 1,951 taels of silver and ran back happily.

"This bastard actually hid so much private money." Qin Yurou couldn't help but curse, not wanting to care about etiquette at this moment. "One thousand taels as a fine, and the rest will be given to the accountant for public use."

Ye Youlan received another letter from Qin Yurou, expressing her apology for what happened to Mrs. Zhang.

Ye Youlan wrote back a letter, telling her to relax and that she would not blame her. This matter had nothing to do with her. She asked her to take good care of her health and that she would come out for tea in a few days when she was well, as she had a big business to do together.

In the blink of an eye, it was October. Ye Youlan made an appointment with her sisters to come to the palace. Chen Xiaoling's belly was already very big, and Princess Yong'an was worried and insisted on sending her here.

Ye Youlan asked Princess Yong'an to stay and have tea with her.

"Don't you think I'm too old?"

"If it weren't for Xiaoling, I would have wanted to call you sister."

"The princess is good at talking. You guys can chat. I'll go back first and ask Chen Su to pick up Xiaoling later."

Everyone envies Xiaoling for having a good mother-in-law.

"Why envy me? Just be a good mother-in-law in the future."

"Who can guarantee that we will have a son?"

Ye Youlan smiled: "If you want a son, just keep giving birth until you have one."

"Don't you want a son?"

Ye Youlan smiled: "I don't even want a child, but if she insists on coming, there's nothing I can do. I'll tell you a secret."

Several people leaned over.

"I am pregnant."

"Really?"

"real."

"congratulations."

Ye Youlan looked at Ruoyun Miaoyu Yurou and said, "I wanted to tell you later, but I think it's better to tell you sooner rather than later, so that you won't find out from others and blame me for being disloyal."

Yu Rou forced a smile: "You are all so frank, it seems that I am not generous enough. To be honest with you, I had a miscarriage a long time ago, but I didn't tell you because of face."

Miaoyu reached out and patted Yurou: "It's okay, we will have children in the future."

Ye Youlan asked them to stop talking as she wanted to get down to business.

"I plan to open a shop in Jingnan Kingdom and sell our Great Chu's products there. In addition to Rongji's shop, I've also considered your shops as a source of goods. Tomorrow at noon, you should call your shop owners to the backyard of Qingfeng Teahouse. Xiaomei will then explain the details of the cooperation to them. The caravan is too troublesome, so Miaoyu, please contact your in-laws. From now on, the transportation of goods will be handed over to the Zhang family, and the transportation fee will be determined according to the market price. In business, it is business, and it is sometimes difficult to continue if you are too sentimental."

Miaoyu was a little worried: "Is it reliable?"

"Wealth and honor are sought through risk. We have the Jingnan Kingdom as our backup. We can open a store first to test the waters. If the business is good, we can open a second and third store. If it's not good, we won't lose much."

“Who will manage it?”

"I have trained a group of shopkeeper candidates and will let them practice their skills."

Ruoyun was curious: "What does the first store sell?"

"A general store sells everything. We first see what sells well, and then we open a specialty store."

Chen Xiaoling looked at Ye Youlan: "Why are you working so hard to make money? Aren't you tired?"

"Making money makes me happy. Who these days still thinks money is too much? I'm going to do big things after I make money, but I can't tell you yet. I'll tell you when I really want to do it."

"Take us with you then."

I also want to take you with me, but it may not be possible. Ye Youlan smiled and said, "If I want to take you with me and you refuse, each of you must pay me 500 taels of silver."

"I'll compensate you with one thousand taels."

Ye Youlan looked at the others and asked them if they could place a bet.

"Then I'll also give you one thousand taels."

"I'll give you one thousand taels too."

Qin Yurou smiled and said, "I'll give you five hundred taels!"

Ye Youlan asked Dingxiang to get pen and ink, as she wanted her good sister to sign.

"If you follow me to do great things, I will give each of you two thousand taels."

"It's a word."

After returning, everyone was wondering what big thing Ye Youlan was going to do?

Qin Yurou soon stopped thinking about it. She wanted to see which shop was suitable. After searching for a while, she found that only one silk shop was good enough. The others were all sold to other people. She would collect the rent herself and stop interfering.

Ever since Madam Zhang's accident, the other ladies haven't posted any invitations for a while. Qin Yurou thought that you guys know the truth but are secretly happy about it, and I can't let you guys be happy, so she sent invitations to those ladies to invite them to have tea together.

Four ladies were invited, and the one who came was the wife of the Minister of Rites. She was in her early twenties. Her husband was a Jinshi three years ago and was currently a fifth-rank minister. He was in the same department as Li Zong, so she had to come.

Qin Yurou greeted Mrs. Chang with a smile and asked her if she was interested in doing business.

Mrs. Chang sighed: "We have several shops at home, but business has always been mediocre."

So Qin Yurou revealed to her that the business could be expanded to other chapters and asked her if she was willing to do it?
