"Our princess wishes Miss Ye a prosperous business and a wide range of financial resources."

The grandmother who came in with the gift box to congratulate held the gift box high and smiled flatteringly.

Ye Manjun got up from the bead curtain, approached and said softly, "Mama, please get up." ”

Ye Xurong, who was standing on the side, had already approached the grandmother sent by Zhu Chen's family very quickly, "Sister, I'll pick up this gift." Before the eldest sister, he reached out and snatched the gift box from his grandmother's hand, when he remembered the terrifying side of Zhu Chen's family, how could he let his sister go to receive the gift in person?

"There's Brother Lao Rong." Ye Manjun chuckled, but signaled Ye Xurong not to open it in public, so as to save it from containing scary things such as dead cats and dead dogs, according to her, this Zhu Chen clan would definitely do such a strange thing.

Ye Xurong is also worried about this, without the eldest sister's instructions, he has already handed it over to the trusted little guy next to him, and let him take it to the back to dispose of it.

The little guy took it and sped away.

The mother who gave the gift was immediately stunned, the reaction of the Ye family was too big, right? However, when I think of my own princess's temperament, it is no wonder that people react this way, but, "Miss Ye, this is a piece of the princess's heart, why don't you open it on the spot and let everyone see how the princess thinks about Miss Ye?" ”

Ma Lan's palms have long been sweating, she is not interested in what is this, anyway, it is likely to be something creepy, Ye Manjun's sister and brother won her heart, so she stepped forward to answer for Ye Manjun, "This princess must be a good thing, but the auspicious time for this opening is coming, our Miss Ye should preside over this ceremony first, Miss Ye, don't you say?" ”

Ye Manjun glanced at Ma Lanshi appreciatively, with a generous and decent smile on his face, "Mama Lao went back to thank the princess for her love on my behalf, I am deeply grateful for this gift, water curtain, go and pick up a set of skin cream and gouache suitable for the princess." Since I am a rouge gouache shop, it is naturally the most appropriate to thank the princess with the products in our store. After speaking, without waiting for this grandmother to say anything more, she immediately looked at Ma Lanshi, "Mrs. Ma, please, let's go out to preside over the opening ceremony." ”

Ma Lan's family was also happy to be invited out by Ye Manjun, but this was Miss Ye lifting her.

The firecrackers and other things outside have been prepared, and many people in Ruyang City are watching, Ye Manjun looked at Ye Xurong with a smile, Ye Xurong immediately took the incense in the hands of the little servant and approached to light the firecrackers.

In the rumbling sound of firecrackers, Ye Manjun personally opened the red cloth on the plaque, and the three gilded characters of the jade skin workshop inscribed by Zhu Yi immediately appeared eye-catching, which was very dazzling in the sun, and many people's eyes lit up, and then they saw the three bronzing characters clearly.

Ye Manjun said with a smile: "Our main store of Jade Skin Workshop is in the capital, this plaque is inscribed by the Holy Lord, and the rouge gouache and skin cream from Jade Skin Workshop are palace tributes, this is the first branch opened in Ruyang City, you can enjoy visiting it, and all the goods today are a five-fold welcome." ”

This discount is unprecedented, Lin Long's store in Suzhou and the Beijing branch have not had such a strong discount, and the original clerks in the capital who came with Ye Manjun were all surprised, and they had never heard Miss Ye say that they would make this trip before.

The shopkeeper was also a clerk in the jade skin shop in the capital, because of the effective sales, and he was willing to bring his family to Ruyang City with Ye Manjun, Lin Long promoted him to the new store shopkeeper, so that Ye Manjun's branch could be used to the fullest.

"Miss Ye, this discount is too big, after removing the cost, we can only make a profit of 10%." He stepped forward and reminded Ye Manjun worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, this first day is just a picture of excitement and popularity." Ye Manjun said with a smile.

Her eyes saw that the people of Ruyang City who were watching were very interested, and immediately asked the clerks who were ready behind her to come out to greet customers, and a large number of customers suddenly poured into the originally deserted storefront.

Although he is not a powerful person in the city, he is also a middle-class person who looks at his clothes, and it is more than enough to consume a bottle of ordinary products from Yufufang, of course, the products that take the high-end route will be blocked, after all, this is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Ma Lan's clan was a little worried, and stepped forward to pull Ye Manjun, "Miss Ye, although this is an opportunity to promote the emperor's grace, but this place is too far away from the capital, they only know that there is a king of Ruyang, but they don't know that there is an emperor in the capital, in case this move angers the king of Ruyang, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses." ”

Ye Manjun waved his hand lightly, "Mrs. Ma, it's a good thing to be cautious, but in the end, this is still the place of the Great Shun Dynasty, the place under the jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven, I don't think the prince will blame me, after all, my actions can ease his relationship with the capital, and besides, the prince is not such a nonsense person, he is a reasonable person." ”

Ma Lanshi thought about it, it seemed to be the same reason, but it was still difficult to relax his eyebrows, "Miss Ye has a good idea in her heart." Looking at the crowded storefront, a lot of goods have been sold in just a while, and I can't help but say that the people from the capital are good at doing business, "This situation is much better than being cold, Miss Ye, I can see it, or you are a good chess player, so that the people in the city will not only be more familiar with Miss Ye, but also praise the girl's good name." As for whether the daughters of the powerful people in the city come or not, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. ”

Ye Manjun always had a smile on his face, looking so dignified and virtuous, "Mrs. Ma, send them posts, I have done my best to be polite, as for whether they come to appreciate their faces, I never care, anyway, it is not me who is rude." ”

After speaking, she stepped into the store with the help of the beaded curtain.

Mrs. Ma was slightly stunned, and then had to admit that this Miss Ye was right, but she was too childish in her thinking, and it seemed magnificent.

When the scene was getting more and more lively, someone sang, "Concubine Teng has arrived-"

Everyone looked at each other, this Teng Concubine would actually come in person.

Ye Manjun was also very surprised at this time, she thought that she couldn't talk about it that day, this Teng Concubine was afraid that she had a great opinion of her, and it was estimated that she would not like her, and it was indeed unexpected for her to come here at this time.

is different from the attitude towards Zhu Chen's congratulatory gifts, for this woman who should be a real mother-in-law, for the sake of Zhu Ziqi, she still stepped forward to greet her.

Concubine Teng was helped by the maid and slowly got down from the carriage, and when she saw Ye Manjun coming forward to greet her, she still smiled and reached out to hold her hand, "It's cold outside, why do you bother to welcome her?" ”

"This is a must, the side concubine personally came to make the small shop shine." Ye Manjun said with a smile.

Concubine Teng glanced at her deeply, and the smile on her lips was not forgotten, "Qi'er told me that this jade skin workshop is very famous in the capital and Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is still a tribute, and it is the nature of women to love beauty, and I am no exception, so I came to congratulate Miss Ye on her opening." ”

As soon as Ye Manjun heard this, he immediately understood that it was Zhu Ziqi who said that Concubine Teng had come in person, and his heart was immediately hot, but he thought thoughtfully for himself, "Thank you Concubine Teng for your support." ”

Concubine Teng walked into the store with Ye Manjun affectionately, and the corner of her eyes motioned to the grandmother behind her to send a congratulatory gift for the opening, and Ye Manjun ordered the water curtain to come forward to take it, and there was a burst of thanks.

Ye Manjun personally greeted Concubine Teng, brought the high-end products in the store, opened the box of exquisite gilt enamel cloisonné cloisonné, and personally introduced the efficacy of the product.

Concubine Teng seemed to be listening carefully, and she also tried the efficacy of the product herself.

It's just that when the number of people around her is decreasing, she seems to be trying the product while raising her eyebrows slightly and looking at Ye Manjun, "Miss Ye, you had better think seriously about what I said to you that day, and don't do anything that you and I regret." ”

Ye Manjun was slightly stunned, it seemed that Concubine Teng still didn't give up, but she didn't want to answer this woman positively at this time, so she said: "Concubine Teng, this ointment can effectively eliminate the spots on your face, this has been verified by many people personally, you might as well try it......"

Concubine Teng squinted at her, this Ye girl could calm down, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, she also took this skin cream and tried it, it was indeed particularly lubricated on the skin.

The atmosphere between the two seemed quite good to outsiders, and many people were whispering, and the two didn't seem to hear it, still talking with a smile.

What happened here quickly reached Zhu Chen's ears, she was feeding a parrot, and when she heard that Concubine Teng actually went to congratulate Ye Manjun on opening the store in person, the corners of her mouth twitched and sneered, "It's the side of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I want to see how good they can be?" ”

"Princess, that Miss Ye seems to be very wary of us." The mother who gave the gift replied thoughtfully.

"What about being wary? No matter how she can, she still has to call this princess mother-in-law, what's the big deal? When the time comes, if you really enter this palace, you won't let the princess handle it at will. Zhu Chen responded coldly.

Seeing the parrot in the cage always flying around, looking at its look of wanting to find freedom, her anger suddenly rose, she didn't have anything, this animal is also equipped with? Then he reached into the cage, grabbed the caged bird in his hand and clenched it fiercely, and suddenly a beautiful parrot lost its head crookedly.

"I've thrown all the bad stuff away." She threw the dead bird to the ground and single-handedly pushed the cage to the ground.

The subordinates present who saw this scene were numb, and no one dared to open their mouths to persuade them indiscriminately, after all, their own lives were important, and they didn't want to follow in the footsteps of this bird.

Zhu Chen's hand painted with Dankou lightly soaked it in the basin and washed it, took the handkerchief in the maid's hand and wiped it lightly, and looked at the cold wind outside with a slight chin raised.

"It's getting colder, and we need to be ready for winter." She said.

No one knows what this princess means? Anyway, they are all used to Zhu Chen's yin and yang weirdness, where would they dare to show curiosity.

After a long time, Zhu Chen said again, "This Zhu Ziqi is about to marry a wife and take a concubine, or prepare a post for me and send it to the homes of the powerful people in the city, and say that I will hold a banquet to entertain them, and invite them to attend." ”

"Princess, this? Will they use the trick of calling the sick again? Some grandmothers stepped forward and said hesitantly, but if they didn't say anything, they were afraid that they would not be able to do things well and make Zhu Chen's unhappy.

The powerful ladies of Ruyang City are sometimes quite outrageous, and even the princess's orders dare to ignore them, let alone respond?

"The Ye family's daughter's shop opened, and except for Concubine Teng, no family went to congratulate her." The grandmother who went to give the gift hurriedly spoke again, and she saw the desertion in the store with her own eyes.

Zhu Chen's family actually hated this group of female dependents in Ruyang City in their hearts, and they even dared to sweep her face, "In the past, they would find thousands of excuses not to come, but now it is different from the past, they will come when they receive my post." ”

This is a critical moment for the selection of side concubines, and who will miss it? She, the princess, has shown that she wants to fall into their camp, why should they not welcome it? She is a mother-in-law, and it is easy to point out a few side concubines for the successor son.

"Yes, Princess." Mama, who had hesitated before, immediately responded.

When the account office reported to Ye Manjun, Ye Manjun was not dissatisfied, but Ye Xurong pouted and said: "Sister, this is how much I earned, this store is still not open, save your thoughts, this Ruyang City is not richer than the people in the capital, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the sister-in-law's store as a daily income, it is not comparable to this place." ”

Ye Minglan also held this view, "It's a waste of spirit for this store to open in Ruyang City, Sister Jun, it's better to rent it out, don't put the cart before the horse." ”

Ye Manjun said indifferently: "I don't expect it to eat and live, everything is difficult at the beginning, this is just the first day, it would be good to have this profit, my sister-in-law said that the jade skin shop she opened in Suzhou before she got married was only so much income when it first opened, and the world is only about a capital, how can it be compared with the capital everywhere?" ”

"Sister, I'm afraid you'll be thankless." Ye Xurong said worriedly.

"I don't have that much expectation, and I won't be disappointed." Ye Manjun has always been patient, even if this Ruyang City doesn't welcome her, sooner or later she will be able to conquer it.

Ye Minglan and Ye Xurong glanced at each other, and they could only have an optimistic attitude towards Ye Manjun's insistence.

After Ye Manjun read the account books, he closed them and handed them back to the account room, and instructed the matters to pay attention to when opening the door tomorrow, and after being busy, he was in the mood to drink a sip of tea, and then thought of something, and asked Ye Xurong: "What did Princess Ruyang send?" ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Ye Xurong was angry, "Sister, it's better that you don't know, save yourself from nightmares in the middle of the night, this princess is a pure madman, I don't know how this King of Ruyang can tolerate her?" ”

"What the hell is that?" Ye Manjun was still quite curious.

After a while, Ye Xurong replied, "What kind of normal object can it be, inside is a nest of newborn mice, look closely, they are all a group of dead mice, scared to death." ”

He said it was an understatement, in fact, he thought that these mice were alive at the time, and picked it up and looked at it, but he didn't know it, and when he mentioned it, he found that the intestines and other internal organs of the little mice were flowing out, and it was not disgusting to see it, and it was too late to throw it.

Ye Manjun gasped, this Princess Ruyang was too much, so he raised his voice and said: "Come on, send me Zhu Chen's congratulatory gift to the King of Ruyang, I don't swallow this dumb person, this is simply too deceitful, I want to see how the prince will deal with it?" ”

Ye Minglan and Ye Xurong didn't stop them, and the repeated concessions did not make Zhu Chen's retreat, but intensified, how could they back down again?

The subordinate took the order and left, and Ye Manjun's pretty face was still angry.

At this time, someone suddenly rushed in to report, "Third Master, eldest girl, Second Master Lan, there is news from Beijing......

As soon as the three of them heard this, they immediately got up.

Ye Manjun was the first to speak: "What's the news?" ”

The person who hurriedly came from the capital to report the news immediately took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Ye Manjun.

Ye Manjun immediately took it and opened it, and then said with a look of surprise: "Second Uncle Lan, Brother Rong, eldest brother and sister-in-law are coming to Ruyang City......

"What?" When the two of them heard this, they approached Ye Manjun in surprise.

Ye Manjun happily repeated it again, quickly skimmed through the letter, and there was no more important information than this, so he handed the letter to Ye Minglan.

Ye Minglan hurriedly took it and looked at it, "It's really Brother Yao and his daughter-in-law......

"Brother Rong, do you think the two little nephews will come over together?" Ye Manjun was overjoyed, but as soon as this question came out, she didn't wait for Ye Xurong's accompaniment, and immediately said: "I'm all happy and confused, how old are the two little nephews?" How is it possible to come together? It's hard for my sister-in-law to remember that I came. ”

Speaking of this, the smile on her face became quite emotional, Lin Long gave up her two children to come to see her, she really owed her sister-in-law a lot.

Ye Xurong was the last to read the letter, and after reading it, he folded it and put it away, "It's a good thing that the eldest brother and sister-in-law can come, not only did I and Second Uncle Lan fail to help you, but we almost dragged our feet, and the chaos here must be done by the eldest brother and sister-in-law." ”

"Brother Rong'er's words are reasonable, my ability is limited, not to mention that I almost made a mistake in the matter of Zhu Ziran, Brother Yao is Lord Hou, and his daughter-in-law is Mrs. Hou, if they can come together, Zhu Chen, the princess of Ruyang, is afraid that it will be easier to deal with."

Ye Minglan is quite self-aware at this time, Lin Long is a woman in the house, and it can be easier to deal with Zhu Chen's family, how can he never itch like him when he scratches his boots? This Zhu Chen clan can even send dead rats to a celebration like the opening, who knows how it will be intensified in the future?

Ye Manjun felt the love of his family, and suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, and began to look forward to the arrival of his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

At this time, the people who also paid attention to Ye Xuyao's arrival were not only the people of the Ye family, but also the Nine Princes who lived in seclusion in the city.

I saw the Nine Princes standing in the open space in the house wearing a coat, looking at the stars on the winter night, and the expression on his face was very solemn.

"Don't worry too much, the prince has arranged everything, there will be no chaos, and everything will be carried out as we wish."

Zhu Sa didn't hear the words of the staff very well, and frowned between his eyebrows: "It should be so, the other party is in the light, we are in the dark, it's just ......"

He seems to have a bad premonition, and this is the beginning of his distraction, I wonder if there will be any variables in this?

"Lord Wang, Princess Ruyang has already answered, this time I don't believe that the arrival of Ye Hou Ye can alleviate the shape, I am afraid that it will make matters worse, and the more chaotic the world, the better it will be for us." The staff is still very optimistic.

Zhu Sa thought about the layout behind him, and the expression on his face loosened a little.

The situation in Ruyang City seems to be getting darker and darker like this night, but Lin Long, who is still on the big boat, can't feel these things for the time being, and her attention is on the water bandits that Aunt Xin said this morning.

She couldn't see a clue on the deck, so her husband forced Aunt Xin to send her back to the cabin on the grounds of her body, and since she found traces of the bandits, Aunt Xin has begun to protect her every step of the way.

She was on the second day of the day, and her physical discomfort was secondary, mainly because she was worried about the safety of the trip, and her husband had not returned, so she couldn't rest assured anyway, for fear that there would be a mistake.

After pacing back and forth in the house for a long time, Aunt Xin, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened her eyes and said, "Grandma is unwell, it's better to sit down, Uncle's side will be fine." ”

Lin Long sat down with the help of Ruyan, took a sip of hot tea to warm his stomach, and leaned on the pillow brought by Rumei, only then did he feel that his waist was not so sore, "I hope so." ”

She didn't wait long before she began to look back at the entrance.

It wasn't until she squinted and dozed off that Ye Xuyao came in with a calm face.

As soon as Lin Long heard the sound, she immediately opened her eyes, and her husband, who was changing clothes, appeared in her eyes, the eldest maid and Aunt Xin in the house had already avoided it, and she pushed the quilt down the Luohan bed and approached her husband.

"Woke you up?" Ye Xuyao caressed her warm face.

"It's okay, it's you, what's ahead isn't important, right?" Lin Long stepped forward to tie her husband's belt, her expression very worried.

"Rest assured, everything is under control." Ye Xuyao said something to calm her heart.

Lin Long squinted at him slightly, as if he had realized, "So?" ”

Ye Xuyao hugged her waist and kissed her lightly on the lips, "Sleep well, don't worry about other things, and don't let Aunt Xin leave you, I can feel more at ease with her." ”

There are some things that Lin Long doesn't understand, but Aunt Xin has traveled south and north to take darts, and she knows how to protect her wife.

Lin Long looked at her husband's calm face steadily, this man has always been willing, now she felt a lot more at ease, stood on tiptoe and pecked him on the lips, "Then you be careful, remember that there are me and my two sons behind you." ”

Ye Xuyao saw that her eyebrows were less worried, so he put his mind at ease, hugged her again, and quickly turned around and went out to deal with affairs.

Lin Long turned around and watched him leave.

Ye Xuyao looked back at her and smiled at her, "Go to sleep." ”

Lin Long nodded, seeing her husband disappear from her eyes, as soon as her mood relaxed, drowsiness also came, and when the two big girls came in, she instructed them to prepare hot water to take a bath.

The two big girls were slightly surprised, at this juncture, the big grandmother still has a bath?

Lin Long raised his voice and commanded again, Ruyan and Rumei said "yes" and went out to let the little guys boil hot water and bring it in.

Aunt Xin didn't say anything, but sat down in the original place as soon as she came in.

The hot water was quickly raised, the two big girls set up the screen, Lin Long lightly untied Luo Yi and began to bathe, because it was a small day, so she just stood and scooped the water to bathe.

The hot water washed over her body, and her nerves completely relaxed, and she began to enjoy the pleasure of this bath.

Because the bandits were coming, the people in the boat were nervous, and their nerves were tense as if they were facing a great enemy. However, when they heard that Marquis Ye's wife was still in the mood to boil water and bathe at this time, many people were in an uproar.

"When is it, this Ye Houye's wife is still in this mood?" Some people questioned.

Others, however, think, "What does this mean? Did you know? It just shows that things are not too strict, otherwise what would this Mrs. Hou bathe? ”

As soon as such a point of view came out, everyone also felt that it made sense, Lin Long was able to act step by step, proving that their nervousness was purely superfluous, and Ye Houye must have a way to subdue the group of water bandits who came to attack, it must be like this.

The tense atmosphere eased somewhat, because most people were traveling by water for the first time, and they would be too nervous if they couldn't get down-to-earth, and now they thought that Ye Xuyao must be a sure winner, and their morale was much higher.

Wei Chishi saw that the atmosphere that was originally a little low because of the encounter with the bandits suddenly rose, and after frowning and asking the reason, he couldn't help but glance at the cabin, which was quite complicated.

"Ye Hou Ye has married a good wife, and at the critical moment, he has stabilized the army's heart." One of my colleagues next to me said with emotion.

Wei Chishi withdrew his gaze and looked at the night again, believing that the other party should take action tonight, it would be a sleepless night. "How can ordinary people have this life? If you can't envy it, you better do your job. ”

"That's right." The colleague put away his envy, but he still said, "This Ye Houye's wife is really beautiful, I can't see that I have given birth to two children, and the brothers don't have this beautiful blessing." ”

Wei Chishi heard that he was a little unclean, so he squinted at him, as if displeased. The other party also realized the gaffe, and immediately shut up and stopped talking.

After Lin Long bathed, she relaxed and went to bed, although the man was not by her side, she still closed her eyes and fell asleep, she didn't want to drag her man's hind legs, what she could do without force value was to sleep well and not let her man worry.

At night, Ye Xuyao, who was standing at the bow of the boat, watched several ships sail to surround his bed with the flag of the imperial court, and his face became more and more grim.

The leader of the bandits looked at the big ship, which looked extremely luxurious at night, and immediately laughed, "Are you going to be captured or are you going to resist and die?" I tell you, the men have jumped into the water, and we only need the women and the treasures of the ship......"

Ye Xuyao looked the leader of the water bandit up and down, "What if I say that I don't jump into the water and don't abandon the boat?" ”

"Then don't be disrespectful to our big bosses." Humpty Dumpty, who was next to the bandit leader, immediately shouted.

"Really?" Ye Xuyao smiled slightly.

This smile looks very cold in the night light in the cold wind, almost freezing people's hearts.

The head of the bandit looked at the immovable atmosphere of the man in official uniform on the boat, and immediately frowned, ordinary people in the court would not be so tough, they would often be frightened after seeing this huge encirclement, but the man in front of him gave him a bad feeling.

"Didn't you say this is the imperial court's silver ship? And the repatriated show girl on the ship? He asked the cloaked man beside him.

"That's right, what did I lie to you? This is the best place to ambush, we have been ambushing here, they are just a big ship, plus two small ships of supplies, they will not be our opponents, the big boss can rest assured. The man in the cloak said.

"Yes, great master, if we rush to the ship, there will be silver and beauty." Humpty Dumpty immediately became excited.

The big boss had a solemn face, and looked at Ye Xuyao who was sneering on the bow of the other party's boat again, his senses were extremely sensitive, and finally he waved his hand, "Go, this man is not easy to mess with." ”

"Big boss, how can we be shrunken turtles?" Humpty Dumpty immediately objected.

The man in the cloak frowned.

Ye Xuyao saw that the people on the bandit boat seemed to have retreat, and said coldly: "Want to go? No way! ”——
