Chapter 40: The Secret Guard Takes Duty
If it was before, when she heard Liu Yanxue ask her if she wanted to increase the number of people, Chunshi must have immediately shook her head, saying that she could manage the store alone.
But now she has seen a lot of people, understood a lot of things, and has broadened her horizons.
She groaned for a moment and nodded seriously: "After the slave returns to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will choose a suitable one among the maids in the courtyard to take over my massage position." ”
"Slaves have more time to make skincare products."
"Hmm." After listening carefully to Chunshi's thoughts, Liu Yanxue returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with her.
After entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Yanxue first gave Chunshi one-tenth of the store's profits as usual.
The store earned 30,000 taels of silver during this time, and even after excluding costs, it had a net profit of almost 25,000.
Liu Yanxue gave two thousand five hundred taels of silver to Chunshi.
Pinching a stack of silver tickets, Chunshi was a little dazed.
If Liu Yanxue rewarded her with a few taels or even dozens of taels of silver, Chun Shi could think of how to spend it, whether to replace the old things or fill in a few new things for herself.
But Liu Yanxue directly gave her more than 2,000 taels of silver......
There are some young ladies in Kyoto who don't have so much money on hand.
When she was sold into the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was worth five taels of silver.
In other words, the money she had in her hand was enough to cover five hundred.
"Miss, slave maid ......" Chun Shi stood in place for a while, but still mustered up the courage to look at Liu Yanxue, "The slave and maid really don't know what to use this money for, can Miss show the slave and maid a clear way?" ”
"Huh?" Liu Yanxue thought that Chun Shi was uncertain because she still had something to say to her.
As a result, what Chunshi wanted to say to her was actually like this......
She stopped what she was doing and thought for a moment, "Don't you have anything you want to buy?" Or if you think you need something, you can buy it first. ”
"Slaves do have things they want to buy." Chunshi swallowed his saliva, a little nervous, "But those things, at most, cost fifty taels of silver, and they don't even account for a fraction of these money." ”
After being speechless for a while, Liu Yanxue put down her mind and gave Chunshi guidance: "Although you are a slave, your net worth is already richer than many young ladies, so what you have to do is how to make money make money, or exchange money for fixed things." ”
"You can first redeem your deed of sale from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then buy one or two shops and open your own shop as the boss." Chunshi is very loyal to the original owner, and Liu Yanxue is not stingy with rewards and freedom for loyal people, "Or you buy a few Zhuangzi and fields near your hometown, or near Kyoto, and wait until you can live in them in the future, and then recruit a son-in-law to live in harmony and beauty." ”
Liu Yanxue put forward opinions that were suitable for Chunshi's situation, but after Chunshi listened to Liu Yanxue's words, her face became panicked for a moment: "Miss...... Miss don't want slaves? ”
Facing Chunshi's expectant eyes, Liu Yanxue's words paused: "...... Do you want to follow me? ”
"The slave is willing to follow the young lady all the time and serve the young lady." As if she had found her heart, Harumi took a deep breath and became firm again.
"It's fine." Liu Yanxue thought about it and felt that it was not a bad thing to keep Chunshi by her side, her future industry would definitely get bigger and bigger, and Chunshi could bear part of the responsibility at that time.
After teaching Chun Shi to buy a few granges and entrust the grange to the housekeeper, Liu Yanxue went to find Su San.
After drinking the traditional Chinese medicine sent by Liu Yanxue several times in a row, the poison in Su San's body had completely disappeared.
Not only did the poison under the secret guard disappear, but even some of Su San's old illnesses on his body were all cured.
"How's your body?" Walking into the courtyard, Liu Yanxue asked about Su San's situation.
Su San had already held back his stomach and wanted to say something, but Liu Yanxue was not there, and he could only be silent.
Now that he finally saw Liu Yanxue, his eyes lit up, and he knelt down in front of Liu Yanxue almost without hesitation: "My subordinates have seen the master!" ”
First expressed his attitude, and then Su San stood up under Liu Yanxue's order, and looked at her with bright eyes: "Master, the medicinal materials you have configured are so effective, all the injuries and hidden poisons on your subordinates' bodies have disappeared." ”
"Not only that, but my subordinates feel that their meridians have also been broadened a lot, and a lot of impurities have been discharged." He took a deep breath and tried his best to control his excitement, "My subordinates will live up to the master's kindness, and I will try my best to cultivate and protect my master from now on!" ”
Regarding Su San's promise, Liu Yanxue only smiled: "I believe in you." ”
After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Yanxue took Su San to stand in the courtyard.
She looked around the yard and finally landed on the lush trees at the window.
"You," Liu Yanxue stretched out her hand to the canopy, "You usually stay here, if someone comes, remember to remind me." ”
Now that someone is staying in the canopy, she doesn't believe that the five princes can still squat here.
As soon as Su San was arranged, a maid hurried to the gate of the courtyard: "Fourth Miss, the lord and the lady are looking for you." ”
"Looking for me?" Liu Yanxue frowned, "What's the matter?" ”
The maid pursed her lips and replied honestly: "It is said that it has something to do with the store, and the specific content of the slave is not clear, but I only know that the master asked the fourth lady to go to the main hall." ”
"Okay." After answering, Liu Yanxue put down the book in her hand, changed her clothes casually, and walked straight to the main hall.
In the main hall, the prime minister and Dou Yue'e were sitting side by side, Liu Mengling was standing behind Dou Yue, and on the other side of the prime minister, Liu Niangzi was sitting.
Liu Yanxue strode into the main hall with an indifferent expression: "I have seen the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister's wife." ”
Seeing that Liu Yanxue didn't even call her father and mother, Liu Mengling consciously caught Liu Yanxue's handle, and immediately couldn't wait to step forward and reprimand Liu Yanxue in the name of her elders: "Liu Yanxue, when you see your elders, not only do you not salute, but you don't even call your father, it's really unfilial!" ”
"What does it matter to you whether I am filial or not?" Liu Mengling thought that Liu Yanxue would admit her mistake and apologize, but what she received was Liu Yanxue's cold eyes, "If you are filial, come and kneel and kowtow for me, instead of pretending to be a tiger in the back and talking nonsense." ”
"You!" Liu Mengling didn't expect Liu Yanxue to be so tough, she didn't know what words to use to reply for a while, and she was afraid that Liu Yanxue would beat her directly.
So she immediately put tears in her eyes and looked at the prime minister: "Father, look at the fourth sister, she is really too arrogant and domineering......"
"Ahem." Being looked at pitifully by Liu Mengling, the prime minister was a little embarrassed, so after coughing lightly, he adjusted his mood and looked at Liu Yanxue, "Yanxue, I heard that you opened a skin care store outside, and the business of the store is excellent?" ”
"Business is not very good, it is very good." Before the prime minister could continue, Dou Yue'e spoke eagerly, "I have several sisters who are loyal customers of the store, and it is said that each of them spends more than 1,000 taels on skin care products. ”
Although he knew that the skin care store must have earned a lot, the prime minister still gasped when he heard Dou Yue's supplementary explanation.
Facing the three people with golden eyes in their eyes, Liu Yanxue tightened her brows in disgust: "Madam, if I'm not mistaken, you should still be locked up, why did you come out?" Could it be that the prime minister didn't keep his word and found an excuse to release his wife? Or did the prime minister find out that it was not the lady who was greedy for the dowry, but someone else? ”
"This ......" Dou Yue'e hurriedly looked at the prime minister, hoping that the prime minister could help explain.
After Liang Ji and Liu Mengling got engaged, the prime minister always received congratulations from his colleagues when he was out of the early dynasty, and many officials began to show him enthusiasm.
The prime minister enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by people, and when he looked at Liu Mengling again, he also felt that she was somewhat useful.
Liu Mengling took the initiative to lie coquettish to the prime minister, saying that she was already the future third princess, and even if the mother of the third princess was not a lady, she could not be imprisoned in the courtyard by the prime minister.
The triumphant prime minister was praised by Liu Mengling openly and secretly, and he was in an extremely happy mood, so he opened his mouth directly and agreed to release Dou Yue'e from imprisonment.
However, he still has a bit of a brain, and he didn't take the financial power back from Liu Niangzi.
Speaking carefully, the reason is very sufficient, but in the face of Liu Yanxue's indifferent eyes, Cheng Lian opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't say it.
In the end, he could only bow his head in embarrassment: "I thought that the weather was good these days, so I would let her go out for a walk more, so as to save her from staying in the house." ”
"The Prime Minister really cares about his wife, and he deserves to be a couple of deep affection." Liu Yanxue smiled and spoke, her tone was quite yin and yang, "The prime minister is afraid that his wife is often in the small room and has problems when she is imprisoned, but he doesn't want to see the current situation of his biological daughter, and he is not worried about her being beaten up at all. ”
"Yanxue......" The prime minister called Liu Yanxue, and then fell silent again.
Seeing that the topic was about to be abducted by Liu Yanxue, Dou Yue'e was anxious, and directly screamed what she wanted to say: "Liu Yanxue, you are a member of the Liu family, and the store in your hand is naturally also the store of the Liu family." ”
"Really?" Liu Yanxue turned around abruptly, her expression cold.
Suppressed by Liu Yanxue's momentum, Dou Yue'e felt that she couldn't even breathe smoothly.
She wanted to retreat, but she thought of the money that Liu Yanxue might have in her hand, so she gritted her teeth, raised her head again, and looked directly at Liu Yanxue: "That's right, it is a matter of course for a woman to obey her father at home and marry her husband." ”
"Justified?" Liu Yanxue was amused by Dou Yue'e, "You talk about class so strictly, you must be a feudal and conservative person, in this case, you are just a concubine, even if you become the main mother, in my eyes, you are still a concubine, a subordinate, should you bow down to my master?" ”
"And you are a concubine, so you dare to plot the dowry of your mistress, is it a great crime?" Without waiting for Dou Yue'e to argue, Liu Yanxue continued aggressively.
