After dressing as a substitute princess

Unknowingly, it has been fifteen days since Li Ci left. During this time, Chen Nuo took his third uncle and Chen Fei to check the properties under Li Ci's name. Except for Fulin Restaurant and Zhuangzi outside the city, other There are also two bookstores, a clothing store, a small teahouse and two pharmacies.

Chen Nuo's tour of these shops was led by Guanshi Yu from Li Ci's family. Yu Guanshi is 53 years old this year and is mainly responsible for helping Li Ci manage the shops.

It should be said that Guanshi Yu is really not good at doing business, but he looks honest and honest, and he will not make false reports. Chen Nuo thinks this is the reason why Li Ci entrusted him to take care of the business.

After inspecting the shops, Chen Nuo made some rectifications. For example, one of the bookstores was too small and dark to read books, and many books were too old and needed to be replaced. Chen Nuo directly put the one next door up for sale. Of course, I bought it from a small store in my own name, and then opened up the two rooms and redecorated them into a "lazy book den" where I read books and drink tea.

Regarding the new name of the bookstore, Yu Guanshi said that he could not understand it, but Chen Nuo was also very talkative. If the business was affected by the store name after a month, he would change the name and reopen.

It cost nearly 600 taels of silver just to renovate this bookstore, which was half a month's expenses for the Third Prince's Mansion. Steward Yu was heartbroken, while Chen Nuo said generously that if the bookstore continued to lose money, he would buy it from his restaurant. Yu Guanshi felt a little relieved when he made up for it in dividends.

The other bookstore was slightly larger in size. Chen Nuo only modified the layout and bought some new books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones to sell. He couldn't help but sigh secretly, it was obvious that Li Ci liked Qu Moting before, isn't he afraid that the crown prince will be jealous?

Then there is "Fenghua Garment Store". The reason for the poor business is obvious. The decoration is not high-grade, the location is remote, and the clothes are outdated. Chen Nuo looks around and sees that the store next to it has long been closed. Fortunately, the garment store can still suffer maintain.

Chen Nuo took out a small notebook to write down the store situation, and planned to discuss with Lin Cang how to revitalize the store.

The teahouse can refer to the operation method of Shuyi Tea House. As for the pharmacy, Chen Nuo plans to go back and ask Master for his opinion. After all, Master is a professional old Chinese doctor.

During these fifteen days, Chen Nuo lived a busy and fulfilling life. Just when he almost forgot to count the number of days Li Ci left, he suddenly received a thick letter from Li Ci.

Chen Nuo got the letter from Lin Cang while eating at Fulin Restaurant. Looking at the stack of letters as thick as his finger, it took Chen Nuo a long time to react.

How long had it been since he had received a letter from anyone else?

In the 21st century, people are used to calling and sending text messages, and they can contact anyone they want at any time, but here is the ancient times when technology is backward, and the only way to hear a person's voice is face to face.

Chen Nuo didn't pay much attention to Li Ci's words before, but now that he received the letter, he couldn't help but read each word carefully.

It turns out that Li Ci's handwriting is strong and powerful, like a sharp sword, and he speaks like a person, but Chen Nuo doesn't think Li Ci is a very resolute person. In his eyes, Li Ci is a little girl who has no parents' love, A young man who is about to bear the pressure of life at an early age is an innocent boy whose ears turn red when facing himself.

"Nuomi, I miss you so much that I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you? Beilan City is full of wind and sand, lack of water and food. When I first came here, it was difficult for me to adapt. But don't worry, I'm fine. I met many refugees on the way. Only then did I know the sufferings of the people, and I felt deeply ashamed when I saw that the people were not clothed enough to eat their children. Glutinous rice, did you ever do the same? Every time I think about it, my heart aches endlessly. To defend the country, to fight for the people, to be crushed for the people I like, and to be willing to do anything..."

Chen Nuo couldn't laugh or cry after reading the letter. This little prince thinks a lot, but he thinks really well. Although he feels a bit secondary, he is a kind and responsible man, which is good.

There are many pictures attached to the letter, which are what Li Cihua saw and heard on the road. Among them are the people living in hardship, and there are also beautiful scenery along the way.

After reading those pictures, Chen Nuo suddenly felt that his heart was full as if something was about to overflow. He felt that he liked Li Ci more and more. He liked people who were attentive and focused, and Li Ci was such a young man.

Chen Nuo put the letter back in the envelope and asked Lin Cang, "Lin Cang, can you deliver the letter to Li Ci for me?"

"Yes, it can be delivered in eight days through the official route."

"Okay, I'll finish it right away. By the way, how are you and your baby's wedding preparations going?" Chen Nuo asked with a smile.

Lin Cang sighed deeply, "They say that the married man has to go to the other party's house in a sedan chair, and I don't like it."

"It's so fun to sit in a sedan chair, why don't you like it?" Chen Nuo asked puzzled.

Lin Cang rolled his eyes, "It's embarrassing, okay? That's like making the world know that I'm going to marry Zhu's family. How can I go out to make friends and do business in the future?"

"It's okay, it's not a big deal, you sit there once, and let the baby sit again to go to your house, it will be even."

"Can it still be like this?"

"They only stipulate that a man must take a sedan chair when he enters the family, but they don't stipulate that the bride cannot take a sedan chair to return home."

"No, it will be three days later when we return home."

"Three days is three days. When you go back, tell the baby that you hope he can treat your family as his own family. The two parties don't distinguish between each other. They say it's marriage to the outside world. In private, it's the two of you forming a new small family. You stand alone."

"It seems that it's not as serious as being married, but the law of Dazhao stipulates that a man who becomes a married man must be removed from the family's household registration."

"This matter is easy to handle. You and the baby can open a new household registration separately. Zhu Shangshu must not be short of houses. You can live wherever you like."

Lin Cang understands what Chen Nuo said is the status of many young people in modern times after marriage. The husband and wife live alone and do not live with their parents, which is equivalent to starting a new life. It's not a machismo at all, he won't care about the red tape if he agrees to become a matriarch, but he is worried that it will affect him going out to work in the future, and he doesn't plan to rely on Zhu Yubao to support him in the future.

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with Yu'er."

When Chen Nuo heard Lin Cang call Zhu Yubao "Yu'er", she immediately felt disgusted, "Damn, I won't take you to spread dog food like this!"

Lin Cang snorted softly, "Why can I only eat your and Li Ci's dog food, but to be honest, Chen Nuo, do you have any experience in that?"

"which aspect?"

"How do two men want to have a bridal chamber?"

"I don't know, but if you haven't eaten pork, you should have seen pigs running, so let's draw a ladle like a gourd."

Lin Cang shook his head, "I haven't seen it."

"Uh, you are from the 21st century, right? Have you seen the action movie?"

"No."

Chen Nuo was speechless, it seems that Lin Cang was really straight and straight before, "Then why did you fall in love with the baby?"

"He's always blushing easily, and it's kind of fun, and besides, I can't afford to offend him."

"So you are forced to bend? Lin Cang, you must never say this to the baby..."

Chen Nuo suddenly stopped, why did he feel that he was setting a certain flag?

Chen Nuo suddenly got up and walked to the door to check, and he was relieved to make sure that no one was eavesdropping outside the door, "Anyway, if the baby asks, you just say you fell in love with him at first sight."

Lin Cang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, "Come on, I will live with Yuer well. Although he is a brother, he is indeed the type I like."

"Oh, what type?"

"The tsundere petite type."

"Damn, you're throwing dog food again!"
