"The eldest son of the Prime Minister's family told me. By the way, you will have a very strong competitor." Shangguan Ziqi said with a smile.

"Who?" Yu Qingsheng suddenly became interested.

He entered the Imperial College late, and to have reached where he is today, his progress is quite rapid.

"Zhao Jinyu, the Emperor has asked him to take your exam, so you'll be in the same class. Be prepared. He's a true disciple of the Prime Minister."

Prime Minister Zhao back then was the top scorer in the imperial examination, entered the Hanlin Academy, and then worked his way up to the position of Prime Minister today.

Of course, it is also inseparable from the fact that he is loyal to the emperor and does not form cliques for personal gain.

The emperor likes such loyal ministers the most.

"Oh, is he going to enter the Imperial College?"

"I don't know about that."

"Don't worry, brother-in-law. There's still more than a year left. I have Master Jin as my mentor, and I'm not inferior to him. Besides, there are so many talented people from all over the country going to Beijing to take the exam, and he's the only opponent. It'll all depend on our own abilities."

Yu Qingsheng is very confident and even more motivated.

His conditions are countless times better than his father's back then. His father even ranked eleventh in the exam. If he is not even as good as his father, he would be so sorry for the good conditions that his eldest sister had fought for him.

"Well, my brother-in-law has high hopes for you. Also, you can't just focus on studying, your health is also important. You must take the horseback archery lessons arranged by the Imperial College seriously."

"Yes, brother, I remember it."

The three little ones actually nestled in the two people's arms and listened carefully to what the adults said.

Yu Yuanzheng was very pleased with the performance of her three children.

"Sister, how about you?" Yu Yuanzheng asked. She hadn't known about her sister's situation for a long time.

"Don't worry, big sister. The Eighth Princess is a very nice person. She just asked several times when you could continue teaching her to play the piano. She really likes the songs you taught her."

"Oh, I'm back in Beijing now, so I probably won't be going anywhere else. Tell her that she can come learn piano from me soon."

The family chatted for a while, and then Yu Yueyin went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Children without elders around really grow up fast.

I didn’t expect that my sister, who is only thirteen years old, can already manage the household.

"Don't underestimate my third sister, eldest sister. She is in charge of all the family affairs now, including my food and expenses." Yu Qingsheng explained.

He saw his elder sister's surprised expression and knew what she was thinking.

"My sister has grown up and will definitely be a good housekeeper in the future. Unlike me, I only know how to enjoy myself." Yu Yuanzheng said with emotion.

"You will be busy in the future. Mother feels sorry for you taking care of three children. Once the children go to school, mother will definitely let you take over." Shangguan Ziqi said with a smile.

"No, I still like to live a comfortable life." Yu Yuanzheng didn't want to be bound so early.

"Then talk to Mother. See what her attitude is."

The family spent the day happily and didn't leave until it was almost dark.

The three little ones had the most fun playing with their uncle.

It was unexpected that a little scholar could amuse children.

Just play all kinds of children's games with them in the yard.

I asked my younger brother where he got these little games. It turned out that the kids from the neighborhood often played them in the alley outside, and he learned them from them.

Ordinary people still have more joy. Even the games their children play are different from those of the children of nobles.

They can go out and play with the neighborhood kids anytime.

Children from noble families usually played at home and were only taken to other houses to play with other children when there were gatherings.

It seems that she should take her children out to experience life more often instead of keeping them locked up at home all the time.

Time passed little by little and it was already December.

The weather is getting colder and there are signs of snow.

Several children were dressed warmly.

Over the past two years, Yu Yuanzheng and his wife have opened many medicine shops. Now it is the end of the year, and the bills from various places have been remitted to the capital.

Shangguan Ziqi knew that his wife was good at accounting, so he moved some account books to the inner courtyard and asked his wife to help with the accounting.

And he arranged other things.

Manager He Yuan and Liu Mingde have already returned to Beijing.

The two men, one literary and one martial, work together very well.

He opened shops, looked for drug dealers, and started workshops along the way, and was extremely busy.

It was almost the New Year when the two of them came back.

He reported to Shangguan Ziqi on their work in various places in the Wei Dynasty over the past year.

They have always maintained correspondence with Shangguan Ziqi.

Yu Yuanzheng was doing the accounting in the room where the children were building blocks. While the children were playing, she was doing the accounting on a small table in the corner.

It is so lively when three children are together. Unless there is a conflict, they usually don’t need to look for their mother all the time. They can have fun by themselves.

This is the advantage of having many children: they can serve as companions to each other.

Yu Yuanzheng became more and more happy as he settled the accounts.

My husband has such talented people. If she were to handle such a big undertaking alone, it would be impossible.

She has nothing: connections, talent, resources, or favors, so she can't do it at all.

Therefore, starting a business also requires a solid foundation. With the identities of the eldest son or the eldest daughter-in-law of a royal family, it will be much easier for the people below to do things.

Once he was said to be from the royal palace, and with the mysterious reputation of a miracle doctor, naturally there would be more merchants willing to cooperate with him, and it would also be easy to find people to work in the shop.

When she added up all the account books and saw the number, she felt so happy.

There are a total of sixty-eight shops, and the profits of these shops alone reached three hundred thousand taels.

In addition to the money for supplying medicine to the army and the huge sum of money they received from the Kingdom of Southern Shu.

It has only been two and a half years since she opened her first shop, and they have made a full one million taels of silver.

With this speed and this achievement, she will probably have a sweet dream tonight.

I can afford to raise a few more children.

You will only earn more in the future.

Just thinking about it makes me want to dance with excitement.

"Zi Yue, Jiang Hua, tell the kitchen that I want to eat hot pot tonight." When you are happy, just satisfy it with food.

"Yes, ma'am."

"We will eat in the main courtyard with our father, the king, and the queen."

"Yes, ma'am."

There were two maids, one went to the main courtyard to talk to the princess, and the other went to the kitchen to talk to the steward.

The palace is not like before, with three branches. Now it is just the eldest branch. If they want to make something to eat, they don’t have to consider other people at all.

Whenever she wants, she can.

Yu Chaoyang and Cao Nanhua lived their lives as invisible people, waiting for Shangguan Zishu to come back.

Yinling was pregnant, and Yu Chaoyang took good care of her, waiting for her to give birth to the child so that he could raise it with him.

When the princess heard that her daughter-in-law wanted to eat hot pot, she was very enthusiastic and passed the message to the father and son in the outer courtyard, asking them to return to the main courtyard as soon as possible.

The four children's meals are prepared separately.

At the beginning of the afternoon, the two men returned from the outer courtyard.

Yu Yuanzheng had already arrived at the main courtyard with her three children.

The little princess Shangguan Mengyao likes her sister-in-law very much. As soon as she sees Yu Yuanzheng, she runs over and asks for a hug.

She is the youngest, and Dabao and Erbao don’t like to play with her very much. Instead, it is my sister-in-law who likes to play with her.

There are now several hot pot restaurants throughout the capital, all opened by the eldest prince’s wife.

This food is no longer uncommon.

Yu Yuanzheng just gave a direction, and the chefs were able to play freely, and hot pots of various flavors came into being.

The prince and his son strode in and saw a large iron pot on the main table, with steam rising from it and fragrance wafting in the air.

"Haha, I'm in for a treat today. Princess, you should have prepared this food long ago. It's already the beginning of the twelfth lunar month."

It seems that the prince is also a foodie.

"Father, how about we have a drink?" Shangguan Ziqi suggested.

"Okay, Princess and Yuan Zheng should drink together, so that we can have some fun together."

Eating hotpot is a joy.

Halfway through the meal, the prince put down his chopsticks.

"Ziqi, when did you take over the Crown Prince's Seal?"
