Childbirth System: Become the Goddess of Mercy who grants children to the male protagonist!

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Fu participated in the county examination, the prefectural examination, and the provincial examination, and finally became a scholar in a glorious way.

With this newfound status, Xu Fu felt he could consider starting a business.

However, in order to remain a successful candidate in the imperial examinations in the future, Xu Fu was naturally unwilling to use his status...

Xu Fu rummaged through the pile of household registration documents in his spatial storage, finally taking out the household registration documents for Xiao Hua and the male protagonist.

Xu Fu tapped his fingers on the table. "Since the auras of the two of you are so powerful..."

"It's not unreasonable for them to take a share of my business empire, is it?!"

Xu Fu circled around Jinling City twice and found a spot with high foot traffic.

Using Xiaohua's name, they directly took over a fabric shop and a jewelry store—

The textile industry is highly developed in the Jiangnan region, with advanced weaving techniques and a wide variety of patterns!

Xu Fu retrieved his personal collection of books from the previous world from his personal space.

It covers not only clothing design, but also jewelry design styles—

As long as the steward and his men set up the shop, Xu Fu was able to guarantee that the business would prosper.

On one hand, Xu Fu also used the male protagonist's name to take over a restaurant.

As for modern recipes, Xu Fu could create them with ease...

Hot pot, milk tea, and barbecue alone—these novel foods must have made Xu Fu a fortune!

With the added advantage of the male and female protagonists' plot armor, even Xu Fu couldn't have imagined...

What if I were already rolling in money before I even became a successful candidate in the imperial examinations?!

Xu Fu had been busy outside for a week, and when he returned home, he immediately summoned his steward.

They placed the shop and restaurant documents directly in front of the person.

Beside it was a thick stack of design drawings that Xu Fu had painstakingly copied over time.

Xu Fuqing cleared his throat before slowly speaking to the people, "I've acquired some properties for Fuli."

"When the time comes, bring people to set up the shop," Xu Fu said, pushing the design drawings over to someone.

"These design drawings were all come up with on the spot, but they should be able to get the shop up and running smoothly."

The butler took the pile of manuscripts with some skepticism, quickly flipped through them, and then his eyes lit up.

He couldn't help but praise Xu Fu, "Young Master is truly a man of great talent—"

"These pieces of jewelry are exquisitely designed; they were probably made for the imperial palace."

"None of them can compare to what the young master came up with—"

"But this hot pot recipe—" the butler hesitated.

"We'll have to find someone to try it out, which might take a while."

"It's alright," Xu Fu waved his hand dismissively.

"As long as these industries can get off the ground smoothly within a year, that will be fine—"

"The steward should be able to do it, right?!" Although Xu Fu was asking, the certainty in his eyes left no room for doubt.

The steward's expression hardened, and he said respectfully, "This old servant is willing to do everything in his power, even sacrifice his life, for the young master!"

"If any of my colleagues try to stop or ostracize me, feel free to mention my title as a scholar."

Xu Fu offered a subtle suggestion, implying that even a mediocre scholar like himself might not be of much use.

"By the way, regarding the fabric and jewelry business, steward, please take the young ladies with you when you go."

"Regarding the restaurant, take the second young master with you—"

"Let them familiarize themselves with the family business first, after they get married."

"Then I can take over, and I can gracefully retire—"

"Young Master," the steward hesitated, unsure whether he should try to persuade Xu Fu.

"Isn't it inappropriate for all these businesses to be registered under the names of Miss and Second Young Master?"

"And second young master, will you continue your studies or—"

The butler stammered, unable to utter a coherent sentence...

With these design drafts, the prospects for these three industries are immeasurable.

People nowadays are so easily tempted to transfer their assets—

Although they are all siblings, the young lady will eventually have to get married.

They knew perfectly well what the second young master's background was!

Xu Fu immediately understood the steward's intentions, and tapped his fingers on the table.

"I will continue my studies in the future, as for how far I can go..."

"In short, none of these are convenient to be registered under my name."

"We'll have to give it to them anyway, so let's just consider it... forget about it—"

"Just do your best," Xu Fu said earnestly.

"Yes, this old servant will certainly handle it perfectly for the young master—"

The steward bowed respectfully before returning the shop's documents to Xu Fu.

Carrying that pile of design drawings, he hurried out.

"Now we can just lie back and wait for God to shower us with gold coins—"

Xu Fu traded so many gold bars in the last century, and now one-third of them have been used up.

If he doesn't make any money in this world, wouldn't he be heartbroken when he leaves?!

With this hope in mind, Xu Fu began his life of diligent study once again.

Fortunately, the housekeeper was very capable, and the shop opened in a great success in less than half a year.

Aside from making a brief appearance on the opening day, Xu Fu was usually the only one busy with the young actress and the male lead.

The male protagonist now not only has to study hard, but also has to go inspect the shops with the butler after school.

On the contrary, Xiaohua was much more relaxed.

They only need to study for two hours each day, and the rest of the time they are free to go out.

She does have time to keep watch at the restaurant for the male lead, and she and the butler go there to help every now and then.

In the third month after opening, the total sales of the three shops combined...

The monthly profit has reached 1000 taels.

Xu Fu knew this was a tactic to attract customers with novelty, thereby stimulating impulsive spending.

As for how strong the follow-up effect will be, it depends on how much effort is put into marketing Xu Fu...

Xu Fu wasn't idle while he was studying; he produced a new design almost every month.

It wasn't until the third year that he had to focus all his efforts on preparing for the provincial examination, which meant he stopped for three months.

Fortunately, Xu Fu perfected every design, so relying solely on his past achievements wouldn't cause him to lose important clients.

With the male and female leads present, Xu Fu felt confident and bold enough to go to the provincial capital and focus all his efforts on preparing for the exam.

If he manages to pass the imperial examination this time, or even just barely makes it...

After that, his position in Jinling City became much more secure.

He's seized so much market share in the past two years, naturally taking away someone else's share.

But they didn't go all the way; some people who wanted to take drastic measures are still quietly watching.

Once Xu Fu fails the provincial examination, then they can consider whether it's time to take action.

How could they allow a powerless outsider to roam freely on their territory?

Xu Fu was completely unaware of this and arrived in the provincial capital two months in advance.

He rented a guesthouse and secluded himself to study.

As for Xiaoyu, his grades were even worse than Xu Fu's; he barely passed the imperial examination and became a scholar.

However, both the steward and the tutor wanted to postpone the provincial examination.

I won't participate this time; I can participate next time.

This gives people six years to prepare for the exam.

Fortunately, Xiaoyu is still young, so being a year behind doesn't matter.

However, he still diligently served Xu Fu.

The plan is to wait until people have overcome this difficulty before returning to the private school and burying themselves in their studies.
