Chapter 120 The Cry of a Child
Jingxue didn't take Princess Xuanhui seriously at all; let her sue wherever she wanted!
For the next few days, she did not leave the manor. Uncle Lian took several servants to the estate with two carriages, bringing not only the tools for making tofu, but also a whole carriage full of soybeans.
Two days later, when Uncle Lian returned, he brought back six servants from the estate. Of the three he brought, three stayed at the estate. Of these six, three learned to make tofu, and three went to work as shop assistants at the new shop.
Li Xia was very efficient; the new shop on North Street was ready in less than ten days. Jing Xue went to see it once and found that a new underfloor heating system had been installed. The original shop was a grain store and didn't need insulation, but now it was selling vegetables, and the temperature couldn't be too low.
Peng Qingqing is already capable of handling things independently at the cloth shop, and Manager Wang will soon be able to come and take over the new shop.
When Uncle Lian and the others returned, they brought back some small green vegetables from the estate. Jingxue thought they could be picked in a couple of days, so she sent someone to tell Qin Jing. Qin Jing was incredibly efficient.
Several days ago, they had already started promoting hot pot to customers, so on the tenth day of October, Li Ji Fruit and Vegetable Store opened, and Mingyuelou officially launched its hot pot.
Li Ji Fruit and Vegetable Shop opened, selling not only a few kinds of green vegetables, but also tofu and fruit. Of course, the fruit was taken out by Jing Xue from her space, including apples, oranges, and pears. Although they were all available in this dynasty, their quality far surpassed that of the fruit in this dynasty.
Jingxue felt that these fruits were still a bit too few, so she added a few kinds of nuts.
Jingxue didn't attend the opening ceremony; it was Lixia and Manager Wang who presided over it.
The weather was getting colder and colder, but it just wouldn't snow. People stayed home all the time, but Li's Fruit and Vegetable Shop on North Street was doing a booming business. Manager Wang had always envied the other three shops for their good business, and now it was his turn to show off his skills.
He had his wife personally demonstrate how to eat tofu and teach the people who came to buy it how to do it. Most of the people living on North Street were from royal families, and those who came out to buy vegetables were the purchasing managers from the mansion.
These people couldn't remember how to make it, so they brought the cooks from the mansion with them. The shop sold tofu and vegetables on the first floor and fruits and nuts on the second floor.
Since there wasn't enough room on the first floor, some people went to the second floor to take a look, and ended up buying a few things.
As a result, tofu and fresh side dishes appeared on the dining tables of most households.
In the county princess's residence, Princess Xuanhui listened to the report from the wet nurse of Princess Kangping, her face darkening.
She also has two shops on North Street, a jade shop and a silk shop, but business is so-so.
In the past few days, she not only sent people to keep an eye on the movements of the Prince of Zhan's mansion, but also went to the street to take a look. Li's Grain Shop on West Street, which was part of Jingxue's dowry, had people queuing up to buy grain outside the shop in the dead of winter. How could business not be good?
She also had a grain shop on West Street. The Sun family in Qingzhou had so much grain that they sold it not only in Qingzhou but also in other prefectures. However, the shop in the capital had long since run out of grain to sell because all of it had been donated to the imperial court.
However, seeing Jingxue's shop doing booming business made her feel uneasy!
Now that they've opened another shop on North Street, has Jingxue been making all the money?
No way! She had to deflate Jingxue's arrogance and find his weakness to see how she could still be so cocky.
Princess Xuanhui glanced at the sky outside and instructed the wet nurse of Princess Kangping, "Take the guards and my waist token, go to Baichuan Academy and bring Jingxue's younger brother here. Tell them it's my treat!"
The wet nurse happily replied, "Yes!"
Ying Shiwu, who was in charge of picking up and dropping off An'an and Jingze, went to the manor to deliver things after dropping off the children this morning. He calculated the time and went directly to Baichuan Academy on his way back.
As Ying Jiu led the two children out of the academy gate, Ying Shiwu was about to lift the carriage curtain when two people got off from the carriage next to him: a nanny and a young man.
As Ying Jiu and the two children approached, the old woman stepped forward and said, "We are from the residence of Princess Xuan Hui. The Prince and Princess Zhan are guests at the residence and specially sent us to pick up the young master to go to the Princess's residence together!"
Ying Jiu and Ying Shiwu exchanged a glance. Ying Shiwu hadn't been at the manor all day and didn't know about this, so it was even less likely that Ying Jiu would know while at the academy.
Seeing that Ying Shiwu meant he didn't know, Ying Jiu didn't want the two children to go. So he said, "Take us back to the manor to find out, and then we'll send the two young masters there!"
The old woman was the wet nurse of Princess Kangping. She smiled and said, "The manor is already prepared. It would take you some time to go back and forth, and it wouldn't be good to keep everyone waiting, would it? How about this, one of you come with us to the Princess's manor, and the other goes back to the manor to ask if this matter has been resolved? Is that alright?"
Ying Shiwu thought this was acceptable, and he asked, "You say you're from the Imperial Princess's residence, do you have a waist token?"
Princess Kangping's wet nurse took out a waist token from her bosom and handed it to Ying Shiwu. It was indeed Princess Xuanhui's waist token.
So Ying Jiu handed the two children over to Ying Shiwu and walked back to the palace himself.
Jingxue and Xiaoman spent the whole day choosing fabrics and making clothes. There were some clothes that the original owner didn't like. Recently, she seemed to have gained some weight. After all, this body is only seventeen years old. In addition, the original owner's eating habits are different from Jingxue's. Jingxue pays more attention to a balanced diet, while the original owner is a bit picky about food. So some clothes are a bit tight and uncomfortable to wear. This time, Jingxue wants to make some clothes that she likes.
The Prince's Mansion was not far from the academy. After entering the mansion, Ying Jiu asked the servant who opened the gate if the Princess Consort had left the mansion. The servant said he had not seen the Princess Consort leave the mansion.
Ying Jiu immediately sensed something was wrong and used her lightness skill to return directly to Jingning Garden.
Jingxue saw Yingjiu's anxious face and asked, "Why are you alone?"
Ying Jiu knelt down with a thud. "Young Miss, someone took the two young masters to the Imperial Princess's residence with a token from the Imperial Princess's residence. They said that you and the Prince were also there. I didn't believe them, so I came back to the residence to check. It was indeed a lie! I have failed in my duty. Please punish me, Young Miss!"
Jingxue immediately knew that the old woman wanted to use the two children, or rather, Jingze, to control her. An'an just joined in the fun.
"Now is not the time to talk about punishment, let's go!" Jingxue strode out, Yingjiu got up and followed, and Xiaoman hurriedly said, "Miss, it's cold outside, put on your cloak!"
But when she returned to her bedroom to get the cloak, Jingxue and Yingjiu had already disappeared.
Jingxue left the room and used her supernatural abilities to head straight for the Imperial Princess's residence. Yingjiu, unaware that the young lady also knew martial arts, followed her by using her powers as well.
The Imperial Princess's residence was not far from the Prince of War's residence, but it was still more than 500 meters away. Once she reached the 500-meter range, Jingxue began to search for the two children. First, there were no carriages at the gate, and there were not many courtyards with lights on inside the Imperial Princess's residence. Upon closer inspection, she found only servants. She then turned to the County Princess's residence.
The residence of the Princess of Kangping was located in a rather remote area. Upon arriving at the residence, Jingxue discovered that Ying Shiwu was fighting with a group of servants and guards wielding sticks in a courtyard.
The sound of a child crying could be heard coming from inside the house.
