After being married off by my younger sister, I took care of the sickly prince

Chen Mei smiled. "Your father and I have already discussed it. We will let your eldest brother study hard in the academy. When he passes the exam and becomes an official in the future, he can repay the princess's kindness."

The three of them chatted about family matters for a while, and then fell silent.

Jiang Yun felt that the time was almost up, so he brought Lan Zhi back.

When the three of them saw Jiang Yun, they knelt down, and Du Qiushi told Jiang Yun what they had just thought.

Jiang Yun smiled and shook his head and said, "You three don't have to stay with me."

The three of them became anxious when they heard this.

It’s already guilty enough that the princess refused to keep them around to work, but if she doesn’t even keep her daughter by her side, how can they repay her kindness?

Both of them expressed that they wanted their daughter to stay and continue to be Jiang Yun's maid to repay the couple's kindness.

Tears welled up in Helu's eyes. She looked at Jiang Yun and asked aggrievedly, "Princess, don't you want Helu anymore?"

Jiang Yun patted her shoulder gently and said with a smile, "Don't cry."

Du Qiushi and Chen Mei knelt down beside Jiang Yun's legs and said, "Princess, if you don't want to keep us, please keep Helu with you. That way, Helu can repay you on our behalf!"

Seeing that their expressions did not seem to be fake, Jiang Yun smiled and said, "No need. This princess does not allow you to stay with me because I have more important things to entrust to you."

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and looked up at Jiang Yun with confusion.

Jiang Yun said to the three of them, "Get up. Let's sit down and talk. This will take quite a while."

Du Qiushi and Chen Mei looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.

Then they helped each other to stand up.

He Lu also slowly stood up.

But the three of them still stood there uncomfortably, looking at Jiang Yun uncertainly.

Jiang Yun smiled and pointed to the seat beside her, "Go ahead, Lan Zhi, bring some hot tea."

The three of them then sat down, but none of them touched the teacups on the table. Instead, they looked at Jiang Yun intently.

Jiang Yun sighed softly and said, "This princess wants to run a pharmacy, specializing in selling pills with various effects. No one in the palace is good at running a pharmacy, and this princess thought that Doctor Du and Madam Du have some experience. If this matter is handed over to you, perhaps it can be accomplished."

She paused and continued, "Of course! This princess won't let you help me for nothing. Doctor Du and Madam Du will each receive ten taels of silver. As for He Lu, you'll have to report to this princess about the store's situation every once in a while. It might be harder for her, so this princess will give you fifteen taels of silver. What do you think?"

Du Qiushi and Chen Mei wanted to ask for money as early as when Jiang Yun said she wanted to give it.

But he didn't dare to interrupt Jiang Yun.

Now it was finally their turn, and the two of them spoke immediately.

"The princess is our Du family's savior. We work for her and it's our duty to repay her. How can we still ask for her money? This is not acceptable!"

Jiang Yun restrained her smile, looked at the two of them and said, "If you don't want this money, then this princess won't ask you to do anything."

He Lu became anxious upon hearing this. She reached out and tugged at their sleeves, whispering, "Dad, Mom! The princess always keeps her word. If you don't want to, the princess will really not let you work for her!"

Du Qiushi and Chen Mei originally wanted to work for Jiang Yun.

Now, after listening to what Jiang Yun and their daughter said, they looked at each other, then looked at Jiang Yun and said, "Princess, we agree."

Jiang Yun looked at He Lu, "What about you?"

He Lu nodded: "I am willing to do that too."

Jiang Yun frowned upon hearing this, then said, "When you go out to work in the future, don't be a slave. Later, I'll have Nanny Wang return your indenture to you. You can report to the authorities, cancel your slave status, and restore your real name. Then you can help me with things in the future."

Du Rou nodded and said, "Yes! Nu, Rou'er thanks the princess."

Du Qiushi and Chen Mei also looked at Jiang Yun with gratitude.

Jiang Yun took a sip from his teacup, then looked at the three of them and said, "First, find a shop. Try to make it as big as possible, and it would be best if you could buy it outright! Price is not an issue. When the business is up and running, I'll have Uncle Fu send someone to deliver the pills from the shop."

That's it for now. Although Jiang Yun has a plan for the rest, there's no need to tell them too much at once, so as not to tell them too much at once and cause them to make mistakes in a hurry.

Let’s just take one step at a time now.

Du Qiushi and Chen Mei said with a firm look on their faces, "Don't worry, Princess. We will definitely find the best pharmacy for you."

Du Rou asked softly, "Does the princess want a name for the pharmacy?"

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Let's call it Jishidiang."

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

It was the second day of July.

During this period, Jiang Yun has been very busy.

One was to open a medicine shop so that he could refine more pills and avoid being too busy when the business was about to start; the other was to have Zhufeng buy the furniture shop he had found and wait for Jiang Yun to come up with a decoration plan and select suitable craftsmen and masons.

And today is the opening day of her furniture store.

Jiang Yun deliberately took off her cumbersome clothes, changed into a light green shirt, tied her hair into a bun, and went out.

Outside the furniture store, everyone was already curious after the shopkeeper Feng Yuan’s promotion for so many days.

They were all curious about what a flushable toilet would look like, something that would allow them to shower while standing.

Now on the opening day, there are crowds of people outside the store, all wanting to be the first to rush in so as to see what the things really look like.

The shopkeeper stood at the door of the store, flanked on both sides by young and strong craftsmen and bricklayers to prevent anyone from rushing up and disrupting the opening ceremony.

Jiang Yun originally came here by carriage, but there were so many people on the street that the carriage could not pass through at all. She abandoned the carriage and got off and walked over.

Feng Yuan saw Jiang Yun from a distance and immediately walked through the crowd to pick her up.

"Princess, you are here."

Jiang Yun nodded, looked at the bustling crowd, and praised: "Not bad, your publicity these days is very effective."

Feng Yuan scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I didn't do anything. It's mainly because the things sold in the store are too rare and the prices are not high."

Jiang Yun nodded, then looked at the bluestone road under her feet and curled her lips slightly.

"Of course, the price of things can't be too high. After all, selling these things is the first step."

Feng Yuan chuckled, "I understand, small profits but quick turnover is the second step."

Jiang Yun raised her eyebrows, neither saying yes nor no.

When the time comes, Feng Yuan will know.

Anyway, she has already asked Gong Qi to help her write the memorial. She just needs to wait for the emperor to agree, and then she can roll up her sleeves and get to work!

Feng Yuan felt that it was very difficult for him to squeeze out to pick up Jiang Yun, but when he returned with Jiang Yun, he felt very relaxed...
