Mo Yi is the fifth daughter of an ordinary family in the capital. Her lifelong wishes:
To marry a blue-robed scholar;
To live in a sunny little courtyard;
If she could also open a...
Chapter 133 Going Around in Circles
"When would you like to start your lessons, young lady?" asked Aunt Zhao.
"Let's start tomorrow!"
"I thought you would have to stay in the Mo family for a while."
"Actually, I don't like such a bustling place. It makes me restless. It's better to come to Mammy's place and hide away in peace and quiet. And..." Mo Yi smiled, "I can also go to the shop to take a look."
"You always talk about your business!" Aunt Zhao shook her head. "You can also bring your work here."
"Can I?" Mo Yi's heart moved and he looked around the room.
It must be very inspiring to work here!
"Of course. Because, besides teaching you, Mammy still has a lot of things to do. We can take it easy. When I'm busy, you can do some handicrafts. Just don't miss the class!"
"It won't delay me! That's great! At home, I have to avoid everyone."
"Your business is already going strong, why didn't you tell your family?"
"My mother is good at managing the dowry, so she likes to make decisions. If she intervenes and her ideas are different from mine and my father's, it will be too much energy."
"That's right. I'll take you home and tell my family about the class."
As they got in the car, Mo Yi suddenly thought: If we take a short detour on the way back, we will be near Jinbao Street and Xiliuli Street. I wonder if we can go to Qizhenlou to take a look. And we can also pass by the shop we just rented, so it would be nice to take a look from the outside.
So, I told Madam Zhao.
"Miss, please show me the way!" Nanny Zhao didn't care.
When they arrived near the newly rented shop, they stopped the car. Mo Yi did not get out of the car, but lifted the curtain and looked for a while.
"Why don't you go in and take a look?" asked Nanny Zhao.
"It hasn't opened yet, I'm just checking the situation..."
Most of the pedestrians on this street are well-dressed. When they pass by these stores, they basically go in for a stroll...
"As long as people can get in, business will slowly pick up."
"Let's go!" She pointed ahead and said to the driver, "Please turn right at the next intersection and stop at the next big intersection."
The car drove for a while and then stopped.
"Madam Zhao, this shop is my father's and my favorite place to go. I want to go in and ask something..."
Last time, when she went to the palace, the jewelry she wore was not too expensive. Afterwards, Zhao Ma left all the jewelry she wore to her, including the blue agate.
I don’t know how much silver I got from selling it to Madam Zhao.
When I got off the car... Eh? Shopkeeper Zhao, Aunt Zhao... They wouldn't...
At this time, the clerk in the store had already seen the familiar car and came over to greet him with a smile on his face.
Nanny Zhao leaned out of the car to take a look...Why did you come here?
Is this Mo Yi’s favorite place to come?
She also got out of the car and came face to face with the shopkeeper Zhao who had come to pick her up.
"Miss Mo...Sister...how come you two are together?"
"Manager Zhao, do you know Aunt Zhao?"
Aunt Zhao found it funny...
"Miss Mo..." Shopkeeper Zhao suddenly understood and widened his eyes, "Sister, could it be that Miss Mo is..."
Sister? Mo Yi looked back and forth at the "sister and brother".
"Let's go in and talk!" Nanny Zhao was very calm.
When the shop assistants saw Madam Zhao, they all called out, "Madam!" with sweet smiles.
"Miss Mo, this is my younger brother. He manages several of the prince's properties. This Qizhen Building is one of them."
"Qizhenlou belongs to the prince..." The prince was so generous. Although Mo Yi was shocked, he soon understood: No wonder Zhao Ma took the things she sold to this store...
Thinking about how he had teased the future princess before... Shopkeeper Zhao felt a little embarrassed and his face turned red. "Qizhenlou belongs to the prince. Uh... Miss Mo, I didn't know you were canonized as the Princess of Qi. I'm so late to congratulate you. It's really rude! Please don't blame me." He bowed repeatedly.
"Don't blame me." Mo Yi was also a little embarrassed, "Manager Zhao...it's just me who feels it's unreal."
"Miss, you are too modest! I have been running the shop for many years and have seen countless people. Since I met you, I felt that you are different from ordinary girls! Smart and calm, lucky, and especially filial!
It is both a surprise and a reason that you are in your current position.
The Prince Qi's Palace will surely be more stable and prosperous if it has a princess like you!
Our prince is a rare talent, with many assets and loyal followers like us. You are so lucky to have such a husband, young lady!"
Shopkeeper Zhao's speech was sincere and moving.
Mo Yi chuckled...
Nanny Zhao glared at her brother. He was still so unreliable!
"Sister, you don't know! Our future princess is quite amazing. When I had some free time before, I told you about the jade industry. You understood it right away and you can remember it after you heard it.
I can also draw and produce my own products. Although the things I make are not considered expensive, many customers like them! Miss, you put four items in the store. Except for the one that my sister took away, all the others have been sold. "
Mo Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, and wanted to ask how much money was paid.
However, since this is the prince's property, when I get married in the future, I can just ask him directly, right?
Thinking of this, my eyes lit up.
When Nanny Zhao saw this, she began to think about something.
When the prince left just now, he mentioned to her that the Queen's dowry should be divided into four parts. Two parts should be given to An Nian and one part to Mo Yi...
The Empress's dowry was already large, and what they have managed over the years can be said to be a huge fortune.
Although Mo Yi only got 25%, it was still quite impressive.
...Since she also likes this business, why not give her the Qizhenlou store...
Let's go back and check the accounts, split them up, and wait for the prince to come back and let him decide.
Come to think of it... this matter is quite interesting, it has gone around in circles... it seems like it is fate.
Looking at his silly brother and saying that, the scene where Mo Yi laughs should be pretty good!
…
At that time, there was another guest at the Mo family who wanted to meet Mo Yi.
Wang asked someone to call her, only to find out that she had been taken to Zhao Ma's place.
The future princess has gone out and her mother doesn’t even know about it!
Wang was too embarrassed to face it...Okay, now you won’t tell me anything!
Holding my breath, I waited for Mo Yi to come back.
But she couldn't figure it out: What could she do if she came back?
Things are different now than in the past. If I yell at her again and say unpleasant things, I'm afraid the whole family will be angry with me, right?
What is my status at home... Thinking about this makes me even angrier.
Mo Yi came with Aunt Zhao.
In the front living room, Nanny Zhao told Mo Ruhai and his wife about the class.
Upon hearing that Nanny Zhao had made all the appropriate arrangements in every aspect, Mo Ruhai bowed repeatedly and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to take care of me, Nanny!"
Wang said nothing.
Even Aunt Zhao noticed that Second Madam Mo's expression became unnatural and she wasn't as talkative or noisy as before.
It seemed like he just thought about it for a second and didn't take it seriously.
Finally, Wang remembered something, "There is something I would like to trouble Madam Zhao for."
"Mrs. Mo, please speak."
"My eldest daughter is getting married in the fall. Everything else is being prepared step by step. But the dowry girl... my family did have some plans before, but after seeing the few under your command, I feel that the previous preparations were not very good. I wonder how you got those in your hands?"
"Generally speaking, such personnel are basically trained by the family. There are not many people who buy and sell them outside. Sometimes...some families will sell a batch due to some changes. But in that case, some will be snapped up quickly. Some, due to some involvement, no one is willing to take them. In addition, if you choose a personal maid, loyalty is the most important. It is not easy to keep someone you don't know the details of. So, it is more difficult to buy them."
"Is that so..." Wang understood, but she was a little disappointed. She also asked her sister, but her sister didn't have such a person around her.
"Miss Mo Yi will have the same problem. The maid I sent last time will be used by her first." Nanny Zhao said again.
When Wang heard this, her eyes lit up.
As soon as Mo Yi saw it, he knew his mother would definitely ask...
"Madam Zhao, can you give two to Mo Wen?"
really……
