A month after Feng Xuanyu returned to the Ministry of Rites, Yu'an sent envoys to visit, this time there were not only ministers, but also Emperor Yu'an's favorite princess and a prince, I heard that a princess came, Xue'er refused to leave Feng Xuanyu for a moment, no matter where he went, he followed, the beautiful man is the master, and no one else is allowed to covet it.

The news soon spread to Qinghe Prefecture, Ji Nuan is expanding the fruit and vegetable store, there are more than a dozen kinds of fruits in the space, many of which are not available in Qinghe Prefecture or this season, plus the fruits in the space are in good condition, and the price is also considerable. Like kumquats, grapes, and lychees, they cost one tael of silver and one catty, and tomatoes planted in pots, money oranges cost five taels of silver, even if the price is so expensive, there is still an endless stream of people to buy them.

After selling for a while, the profit of Ji Nuan's shop is on par with that of the restaurant, and the other businesses in the family can only catch up with the income of the fruit and vegetable store or restaurant.

"Why are you being hit and ready to abandon literature and engage in business?" Ji Lianxi and Ji Lianshun were both admitted to the Tongsheng exam, only the seventh brother Ji Lianduo did not pass the exam, which can make him depressed these days, in fact, Ji Lian is not very old, and if he does not take the exam well this year, it is okay to work hard and take the exam again next year.

Now it's up to him to see if he can turn the corner, it's really the same if he doesn't study and do business, even if he opens a grocery store, he can support his family, as long as he takes the right path to be stronger, he can be famous in any line of work.

"I don't think I'm the stuff for reading." Ji Lianduo was still quite frustrated, he didn't understand, why he studied in the same school, and when he returned home, he was guided by the same master, and the fifth brother and cousin were admitted to Tongsheng, but he couldn't.

"Seventh brother, did my father ask you to take the exam this year, we didn't say anything, if you didn't take the exam this year, you can take the exam again next year, we can all figure out why you have to drill the horns." Ji Nuan asked.

"In that case, I'll be pulled down by them."

"There are thousands of students in Daqi's annual exams, and they all want to take the test for children, talents, and people, but how many can actually get their wishes, you have to be calm when you study and do business. For example, I will be very happy if the business in the store is good, if there are fewer customers one day, don't you have to persevere, is it because the business is bad for a day or a few days, it will be closed!

Also, you study for your own food and clothing in the future, and marry a worthy daughter-in-law, not for the sake of your family and your parents, you must understand this. We have no objection to you choosing to leave the academy and come back to do business now, in that case, in the future, you will get a salary every month like your brothers, and in a few years, you can marry a merchant lady or the daughter of a petty official and a small official, and you can live for the rest of your life.

If you want to live a life of a superior person, you can only work your own, our family can't help you, you can make a choice if you think about what kind of life you want to live. ”

Just when Ji Lianduo was deep in thought, a group of people came to the store, whether they were the leader or the entourage behind, all of them put on a posture with their nostrils facing the sky and standing high.

"You who are in charge here, call people here and come to a big deal."

Ji Nuan stood up and invited them to sit down in the private room: "I am the steward here, do you have anything to do?" ”

A little kid doing the housekeeping? The person who came paused for a moment and said: "We are from the Yuwang Mansion in the capital, come to your store to order some potted plants, one hundred pots of oranges, one hundred pots of tomatoes, you are responsible for sending them to the Yuwang Mansion in the capital, five taels of silver a pot, and the goods are paid on delivery." ”

What are you kidding, Ji Nuan first made a shocked look, and then explained with a smile: "Our shop has a small profit, and we can't afford to go from here to the capital, since it is needed by the palace, I will give you ten pots of each, and you can take it back on your accompanying carriage." ”

"Then it's better to send a hundred pots of each, and you can do business in Qinghe Prefecture in the future, under the banner of Yuwangfu, to ensure that no one dares to provoke."

"These potted plants also need to be purchased, I need to pay seven or eight hundred taels of silver in advance for two hundred pots, I really can't afford it, either I will send twenty pots for you to take away, or you will go to another house and ask?"

The person who led the team slapped the corner of the table hard: "Who gives you the courage to dare to bargain with our Yuwang Mansion, you don't inquire, what our prince wants, how do other merchants do it, they will double it and personally send things to the palace, which one dares to slack off."

One hundred pots of oranges and tomatoes each, sent to the Yuwang Mansion in five days, and the payment with one hand and delivery with the other hand is so decided, I can warn you that this matter is best arranged carefully, these things will be sent to the palace and various palaces, if you do not do it well, your shop and your family will suffer. ”

Leaving these words, those people strode away, Ji Nuan didn't expect that he was hiding in Qinghe Prefecture, and those who didn't enter the capital still provoked the royal people.

The Ji family soon found out about it, and they all had no idea, so they asked Ji Nuan what to do?

"In five days, I will go to Yuwang's Mansion to deliver what they want." If the people of Yuwangfu fulfilled their promise to pay the silver, and never made trouble in the future, Ji Nuan didn't want to destroy Feng Xuanyu's plan.

If King Yu is bullying, then don't blame yourself for being ruthless, that King Yu wants to use these things to please the emperor and his relatives, right, he doesn't want him to get his wish.

That night, Ji Nuan went to the capital and left 200 pots of oranges and tomatoes for Feng Xuanyu, as well as red wild pepper trees and hundreds of pots of flowers, so that he could send them to the emperor and the princes tomorrow.

"Is something wrong?" This girl is a little abnormal today.

Ji Nuan told the people of Yuwangfu that it was difficult for her to go to Qinghe Prefecture, and Feng Xuanyu helped her think of a way to deal with it. There is an eldest princess in the royal family who likes fresh things very much, and every year during the Chinese New Year will be exchanged everywhere, tomorrow through others to send money oranges and tomatoes to her house, she will definitely give some to the emperor, and then let her ask the emperor for a favor, and ask the emperor to give the Ji family fruit and vegetable shop a plaque, and King Yu will no longer embarrass her.

"What if he goes after my family and other businesses?" Ji Nuan is still a little worried.

"I will let people reveal a little bit of your relationship with Wu Tong to him, he and the prince want to win over Wu Tong now, and they will definitely not touch his relatives."

Speaking of General Wu, Ji Nuan wanted to rebel against his father's entry into Beijing after the New Year, Feng Xuanyu told her that this matter was arranged by himself, and the Wu brothers are now neutral on the surface, but they are actually doing things for him.

"Are you serious? Can you not let my stepfather get involved in this, and my sixth brother...... I really don't want him to get involved in the palace fight! ”
