The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Shopkeeper Peng continued, "Master, later, I asked Liu Sanhao again, and she said that her sister-in-law once said that she wanted her to open a beauty salon after she redeemed herself, but she refused. Recently, the security on the street has been strictly controlled, so they probably won't dare to come."

Manager Peng sighed and said, "Alas! These people get envious as soon as they see our shop making money. They don't understand what use is having skills alone? They don't have our products."

“There’s nothing I can do, everyone has selfish motives! I told her the first time, and I’ve told everyone else too, that anyone can leave, and I won’t blame them. But if someone betrays me, I can’t forgive them,” Jingxue said.

Have you seen the start of summer recently?

“Miss Lixia has been very busy lately, running back and forth between several shops. By the way, boss, I heard from Lixia that you are thinking of closing the cloth shop?” Manager Peng asked.

"Yes! I want to transfer your sister to the academy. What's your opinion?"

Shopkeeper Peng quickly shook his head, "No, I just feel it's a pity to close the cloth shop."

"There's nothing to regret. I'll use that shop for something else."

"Boss, those sanitary napkins are selling really well lately, and we're getting more beauty treatments too. They're all bringing their relatives and friends."

Jingxue nodded knowingly and said, "That's good! You can discuss things with Lixia. By the way, I don't know if we can leave the palace during the New Year. Everyone has been working hard this month. Tell Lixia that we will pay double wages this month, for everyone, including your manager."

Peng Zhangui smiled upon hearing this, "Thank you very much, boss. I will tell Miss Lixia."

Jingxue didn't talk to Manager Peng for too long before the two of them went to the front hall.

Two maids were doing manicures for Wulintuya and Princess Jingyi, and their maids were watching intently, as if they could learn by watching carefully.

"Princess Consort Zhan, I heard the two girls say that you can get beauty treatments upstairs. I'd like to try it out later," said Wulintuya.

“A beauty treatment takes a long time. It wouldn’t be good to keep your Grand Preceptor and the two princes waiting, would it? Aren’t you going to Yichun Palace tomorrow? My other maids can do it too. Can I do it for you tomorrow?” Jingxue said.

"Of course! I'll definitely come to see you tomorrow!"

Jingxue was surprised to find that while they had all left the beauty salon, the Cangbei delegation was still in Li's General Store.

During the leap month, she rode her balance bike around and around on the street, attracting people to stop and watch her.

Seeing the guards standing outside Li's General Store, Jingxue knew that the delegation was attracted by her goods.

"Shall we go in and take a look?" Wulintuya didn't want to wear gloves after her newly done manicure, and she felt cold as soon as she came out.

"All right!"

Upon entering the general store, they saw Qin Jing and Manager He talking to the members of the delegation.

Seeing Jingxue and the others enter, Hu Yucheng said sarcastically, "The owner of this shop has arrived."

Jingxue glanced at the old man, thinking, "You're always so annoying!"

Wanyan Junhui, who was listening attentively to the explanation, turned his head and saw Jingxue, but did not say anything.

His second brother, however, said bluntly, "Princess Consort Zhan, you have quite a few good things in your shop, but I wonder if the supply is sufficient?"

Jingxue didn't mince words, "You should check if you have enough money in your pocket. I'd like to see if you can actually buy it all up."

The Imperial Advisor was truly exasperated. His son-in-law was utterly incompetent, never receiving a kind word from Princess Zhan, yet he never learned his lesson and kept banging his head against the wall.

"Hmph! These are just a few trinkets, I can afford them. Give me two thousand of each of these items you just looked at!" Wanyan Junhao said loudly.

Jingxue smiled, "No problem! Manager He, hurry up! Collect the deposit first, and deliver the goods when the delegation leaves."

Just as Shopkeeper He was about to go to the counter, An Wenguang, the Vice Minister of Revenue, said, "This delegation is here to discuss border trade between the two countries. Why is Princess Zhan selling her own shop's goods first? Isn't that inappropriate?"

Jingxue didn't recognize An Wenguang, so she looked in the direction of the voice.

At this point, Hu Yucheng also said, "That's really not appropriate! We should put the greater good before our own families."

These people just can't stand to see Jingxue doing well.

"Everyone? Has the deal between this princess and the second prince of Cangbei affected the court? If the family is well, the whole family will naturally be well. Don't you understand this principle?" Jingxue's eyes were cold.

Ye Muchen and his companions' expressions also darkened, but Prince Duan tried to smooth things over by saying, "Let's all keep quiet in front of the delegation!"

The seventh prince, Wanyan Junhui, who rarely spoke, also said, "Second brother, if you want to buy it, go and pay the deposit, and then we'll go and look at other shops."

Wanyan Junhao chuckled mischievously, "What's the rush? I haven't had enough of watching the infighting within the Northern Nights yet!"

"Everyone has ash at the bottom of their pot! If you want to buy it, hurry up and pay the deposit, otherwise I'll raise the price!" Jingxue glared at Wanyan Junhao and said.

"You...you are truly difficult to deal with, both women and petty men!" After saying that, he took out a silver note and went to the counter. Manager He did a big calculation and, good heavens, there was a total of 30,000 taels. He paid a 10% deposit and received 3,000 taels of silver notes from Wanyan Junhao.

Manager He handed the order and deposit directly to Jingxue.

Everyone left the shop on their own initiative. For some reason, An Wenguang tripped and fell flat on his face as soon as he stepped out, landing on all fours in a very unseemly manner.

"Oh! Sir, there are still more than ten days until the New Year! Your grand gesture is too early, and besides, the posture is not elegant and it is an insult to civility!" Jingxue said mischievously.

Some of the guards outside were snickering, while the officials from the Ministry of Rites turned their faces away.

An Wenguang scrambled to his feet in a disheveled state. Looking at the smooth ground, he felt both ashamed and angry, but had nowhere to vent his frustration. He yelled at his attendants not far away, "Get over here and tidy yourself up for me!"

The servant who had been scolded quickly ran over and used his sleeve to brush the dust off An Wenguang.

Qin Jing and Ye Musi both had smiles on their lips. They knew in their hearts that Jing Xue was the one who did it, but they still felt very relieved!

The group then visited a cloth shop and a tea shop, and soon arrived at Li's Grain Shop.

There were still people queuing outside to buy food, but fortunately the queue wasn't very long.

As the delegation approached, the people made way for them.

Qin Jing was still giving the introductions when Wulin Tuya was drawn to the roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes at the entrance. She asked, "Is this delicious?"

The person selling roasted sweet potatoes outside today is Zhang Daming; the boy is dressed very warmly.

"You may have a taste, sir." With that, he took out a small piece of oiled paper, wrapped a sweet potato, and presented it to Ulintuya.

The maidservant beside Wulintuya took it and took out a silver needle from her bosom to test for poison.

Jingxue didn't find their actions inappropriate; after all, they were princesses of a kingdom, and it was always better to be cautious when traveling.
