The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

Ruan Mozhu and Wei Jingnan were naturally unaware of what was happening in the palace.

Ruan Mozhu was extremely excited to receive the treasure from Wei Nianyun. When she learned from Wei Jingnan that Wei Nianyun had given her a lot of silver, Ruan Mozhu almost ran to the palace to hug Wei Nianyun and give him a big kiss.

Of course, this was also why Wei Jingnan stopped her. If Wei Jingnan hadn't stopped her, Ruan Mozhu would probably have already taken Su'er and rushed to the palace.

"My dear concubine, how's your restaurant going?" Wei Jingnan asked with amusement as he returned from the palace and saw the woman calculating accounts by the window.

He had never seen a woman so fond of money. What woman was like her? It was truly...

He slowly shook his head and walked towards Ruan Mozhu.

Ruan Mozhu seemed not to have heard Wei Jingnan's words at all, not even glancing at him, and continued to write and draw with a piece of coal in her hand.

It's because she's a modern person who can't write calligraphy.

"What are you doing again?" As he approached, Wei Jingnan chuckled and asked, looking at the incomprehensible characters on the screen.

"Hmm, settling accounts," Ruan Mozhu replied absentmindedly.

Wei Jingnan raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Let's settle the accounts," he said.

"correct."

"Then I'd like to see how my beloved consort has calculated it." With that, he stared intently at her.

After looking at it for a while, Wei Jingnan still couldn't figure out what it was.

"My beloved concubine, what are all these?" he asked.

"Hey, wait a minute." Unfortunately, Ruan Mozhu was doing accounts at the moment, and Wei Jingnan kept bothering her. What she was thinking about just now disappeared instantly, making Ruan Mozhu anxious.

He immediately yelled at Wei Jingnan in a fit of rage.

Upon hearing this, Wei Jingnan frowned slightly, but ultimately decided not to argue with Ruan Mozhu and went to the side to read a book.

However, his gaze still occasionally drifted towards Ji Yunshang.

Time was passing by, and Wei Jingnan was finding it increasingly difficult to concentrate on his reading, while Ruan Mozhu was frowning more and more as she looked at the formulas she had written and drawn.

"Ah!" Just as Wei Jingnan was wondering whether he should go and say something to Ruan Mozhu, he heard Ruan Mozhu suddenly scream.

Wei Jingnan was startled and quickly went forward to check on him.

As a result, they saw Ruan Mozhu holding the piece of paper with doodles on it, looking very sad.

He was slightly taken aback, and after realizing what was happening, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

After a moment, Wei Jingnan looked at Ruan Mozhu and asked, "What's wrong with you now?"

"Wei Jingnan, I just did the math. After my restaurant opens the day after tomorrow, it will take about five months to earn back the money I invested. And that's assuming business is running smoothly. If things don't go well, I'm doomed," she said, her voice slightly trembling with tears.

Wei Jingnan remained silent.

"Then tell me, how much money did you invest in your restaurant in total?"

"Well, there's a total of 430,000 taels. Besides the 200,000 I took from you, the 100,000 I had, and then there were my father's things. I used up all the gold, and there's not much silver left. I also pawned all the items that didn't have royal markings. I have 50,000 left now."

Ruan Mozhu meticulously detailed the accounts, and the more Wei Jingnan listened, the more he felt that asking his father for that money for her was the biggest mistake he had ever made.

"Alright, alright, stop talking." Wei Jingnan had a headache and quickly interrupted Ruan Mozhu.

"Since you've already said that you can earn back all the money you invested in just five months, then just wait five months. Now, focus on writing what you said yesterday—oh right, the menu. Now concentrate on writing your menu."

As Wei Jingnan spoke, he quickly walked out of Nanmo Pavilion.

He feared that if he stayed any longer, his princess would say something even more speechless.

Watching Wei Jingnan's departing figure, Ruan Mozhu shrugged, then flipped open another cardboard sheet, which was specially made by Su'er according to a modern menu.

After it was made, it actually looked quite realistic.

Carefully write down your own menu on the menu.

The menu features classic KFC dishes, as well as Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine. As for foreign dishes, Ruan Mozhu hasn't figured out how to make them yet, especially since she doesn't have all the necessary utensils and ingredients. She doesn't want to end up with something that doesn't taste authentic.

Time passed quickly, and it wasn't until Su'er came to call her that Ruan Mozhu straightened up and rubbed her neck.

"Su'er, what's wrong? It's not time for dinner yet." Ruan Mozhu glanced at the still-sunny sun outside and asked Su'er softly by the window.

Upon hearing this, Su'er smiled and said, "Your Highness, it is the Prince. He sent me to summon you to the flower hall, saying that he has something to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mozhu paused slightly, then remembered that Wei Jingnan hadn't come in since she had silently sent him out today.

After putting her things aside and tidying up a bit, Ruan Mozhu got up and walked outside.

Su'er was guarding outside the door. When she saw her arrive, she immediately led her people toward the flower hall.

From afar, Ruan Mozhu spotted a man standing in front of Wei Jingnan, dressed in a flashy red outfit.

"Who is that?" Ruan Mozhu pointed and asked Su'er.

Su'er looked over and chuckled softly upon hearing this: "Your Highness should ask the Prince about this later. He will definitely tell you."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mozhu rolled her eyes inelegantly. She had a feeling that Su'er had gone astray during the time she had been with her.

As the two chatted and laughed, they had already reached the outside of the flower hall.

Wei Jingnan also saw Ruan Mozhu and waved to her.

"My beloved concubine, come here quickly, I'd like to introduce you to someone," he said.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mozhu rolled her eyes. Seeing that there were other people present, she decided not to expose him. If it were any other day, she would have turned around and left immediately if Wei Jingnan had called her like a puppy.

“Wei Jingnan, who is this?” Ruan Mozhu walked over and pointed to the man in red.

At that moment, the man in red must have heard the noise and turned around. The instant Ruan Mozhu saw his appearance, she really wanted to say that she was amazed.

She stared at the man with wide eyes.

The man possessed an androgynous appearance, though of course, he couldn't compare to Wei Jingnan.

There are probably only a handful of geniuses like Wei Jingnan in this world.

For a man to look like this man in red is quite impressive.

If this were in modern times, it would definitely be a global phenomenon.

As Ruan Mozhu stared at the man in red for a long time, Wei Jingnan's face darkened.

He glanced at the man in the undergarment, whose face was full of mischief, and felt as if he had shot himself in the foot.

Calling back the Ghost Robe was probably the worst decision I ever made.

"Ahem." Wei Jingnan coughed softly, drawing Ruan Mozhu's attention back to him.

"My dear consort, this is Mingyi. He will be taking over Mingjing's position from now on. If you need anything at your restaurant, just look for him."

Wei Jingnan looked at Ruan Mozhu and said.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mozhu first raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Finally, he turned his head and looked the undergarment up and down, but he still couldn't figure out what aspect of it a guard should possess.

"Wei Jingnan, are you sure you didn't call the wrong person? If word gets out that he's dressed in red, I think we could have him greet guests on the opening day of my restaurant."

Ruan Mozhu said without any politeness.

Upon hearing this, the three people present twitched their lips, and even the butler who had just entered looked helpless.

I have a feeling that the princess is becoming increasingly unreliable.

"Your Highness, Your Highness the Princess." The steward entered, bowed to the two, and then looked at Mingyi: "The men brought back by Guard Mingyi have arrived. This old servant has already arranged for them to serve in the manor, but Your Highness, would you mind coming to see them?"

The butler cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Wei Jingnan.

"You don't need to worry about those people. From now on, they will all follow the Princess."

"Yes."

Wei Jingnan made his decision without the slightest hesitation.

However, Mingyi was still somewhat surprised as she watched the steward's departing figure. Although she had heard about the prince's attitude from Mingjing, seeing it with her own eyes was still different.

When Ruan Mozhu heard Wei Jingnan's instructions, she merely raised an eyebrow, without showing any further expression.

The matter was settled just like that.

Time flies by again.

After resting for two days at the Prince's Mansion and writing menus, Ruan Mozhu's days were quite fulfilling.

Of course, if Surplice didn't wear that red outfit and wander around in front of him every day.

"Alright, today is the grand opening day of our Modern Era store. Wei Jingnan, wish me booming business!"

Ruan Mozhu got up early and saw Su'er combing her hair. She then looked at Wei Jingnan behind her and said...

Upon hearing this, Wei Jingnan gave a slight smile: "I wish you booming business."

"Tch, boring." Ruan Mozhu said dismissively.

Just then, Su'er also managed to comb out that difficult hair ornament.

"Alright, I won't be having breakfast at the manor today. I'll be leaving now."

She said this to Wei Jingnan, then, ignoring his instantly darkened expression, she pulled Su'er out the door.

Previously, because of Ruan Mozhu's good publicity, there were a lot of people waiting in front of Zuichunlou, or rather, the modern restaurant, today.

Upon seeing Ruan Mozhu arrive, they quickly offered her their seats.

"Boss lady, you've been advertising this for a while now, saying it's food we've never tried before. Today we're really going to have to give it a try."

In the crowd, someone jeered, making a good-natured joke.

"Of course, today, I guarantee you will leave satisfied."

As Ruan Mozhu spoke, standing amidst the red ribbons that had been laid out, she made a single cut with her scissors: "Congratulations on the grand opening of the Modern Restaurant! Please come in, everyone."

Someone next to him said.

"Tsk, look at this business, it's really packed with people. Now it's up to you. I don't think this will be too difficult."

Wen Caiqian spoke to the person opposite her with a smile.
