Chapter 192 Business as usual

The next morning, Mo Yi went out after breakfast.

Although she had made an appointment with her father at Qizhenlou, she still went back to her parents' home first.

The men in the house were not at home, and Wang was not there either, so it felt a bit lonely.

When Mo Yuan heard that she was coming, she shouted, "Princess! Why are you back?!" She looked her up and down and said, "After all, she is the princess. You look different. You look so beautiful now!"

"Eh? Didn't you make an appointment with Second Uncle at Qizhen Building?"

She knew this too!? This guy is still asking around for information?

Mo Yi was helpless, "Is Third Uncle home?"

Mo Yuan curled her lips, "He said he was out with his friends for something important, so he's not here!"

Mo Yi listened and realized that it was no use. He had to talk to his uncle and keep an eye on his third uncle...he was not very reliable.

"Where's Third Aunt?"

"What's the matter, Madam?" Mo Yuan was curious.

"I want to... take Yunniang out to do something."

Mo Yuan's face turned cold, "Why do you always look for her?"

"I can find you, will you go?"

Mo Yuan immediately smiled again, "What is it... I'll go, I'll go!"

"The embroiderer I hired did a lot of work. Someone has to check whether it's good. At the end of the year, I have to settle accounts with the embroiderer. If you pay her without checking, you can't get your money back. If the work is not good, you won't be able to sell it in the future and lose money, and it will also affect your reputation! You can check it, and I can pay you."

"Tsk... You're a princess now, so you don't have to do these jobs. I'm the princess's sister, so I should do it!? I can earn this little money, huh, you look down on me..."

"Then I want to take Yunniang with me. Please think of a way for me. Otherwise, don't even think about going to the palace during the New Year!"

"Mo Yi!" Mo Yuan stomped her feet.

"You don't want to call me Princess? Will you do that?"

"I'm so angry... I'm going to call her... I want to go too! Otherwise I'll tell my mother... Let my mother take the money you gave to Yun Niang."

Mo Yi was so angry that he couldn't help but said, "Hurry up!"

After a while, Mo Yuan, who was dressed beautifully, and Yun Niang, who was dressed neatly, came out, and they brought a maid with them.

"My lady! Qiao'er is working beside me, you can just watch."

"Let's go. There's a lot to do, so we need to hurry."

Several people got into the luxury car, feeling extremely happy...

"Oh my God, there are flowers carved on this wood!" Yunniang touched it lovingly, while Qiao'er sat upright, not daring to move.

Mo Yuan, on the other hand, acted as if this was her car, and squinted at Mo Yi, "You're not at home being a queen, but you're running out to do small business in the cold weather... How ridiculous! Have you ever seen a princess doing this? Just let Second Uncle order a few of his men to do it! How much money can a small shop make?"

"Ms. Mo Si is rich and powerful, so she doesn't care about these things, right?!"

"Tsk!" Mo Yuan curled her lips. "By the way, I wanted to get two purses from you today! These days, I visited two people and someone gave me a gift. I thought I should return the favor..."

"Returning the favor to Zhang Debao?"

"Hmph!" Mo Yuan rolled her eyes.

"You have a lot of rouge and powder in your hand, right? Why not just give me one?" Mo Yi knew that all the ones given by Zhang Debao were kept by Mo Yuan.

"That perfume powder costs more than twenty taels of silver a box!" Mo Yuan was reluctant to part with it.

"Then do you know how much silver is in my purse?"

"How much can it be...ah?" She remembered the prices in the embroidery shop last time she visited. Her eyes immediately lit up... "Oh, my lady..."

Mo Ruhai has already arrived at the shop and is talking to Shopkeeper Zhao at the door, waiting for Mo Yi.

Shopkeeper Zhao always sighed. He didn't expect Mo Yi to get married so soon. He originally planned to pass the blame to her so that he could be free. But the prince hurriedly welcomed her into the family. Being a princess, there are so many things to do. If she wants to have a child...

Alas, it’s a pity that just when I saw a little hope, it’s gone again.

The car stopped and everyone got out. When Mo Ruhai saw his daughter, his face was full of smiles, "Yi Yi!"

“Daddy!”

"Where's the prince?"

"The prince went to Cangzhou."

"I told you, when the prince is at home, your primary responsibility is to take care of him. We can all do these chores."

Entering the store, Song Jiafu was wearing a blue silk cotton round-necked robe, a jade pendant on his waist, black satin shoes with white soles, his hair was combed shiny, and his face was rosy and shiny...

A proper storekeeper image...

"Your Majesty!" He bowed quickly.

"Yiyi, do you think Jiafu looks good?" Mo Ruhai looked at Song Jiafu's serious expression and felt funny: this silly boy has changed a lot.

“Very good!”

Mo Yuan didn't want to discuss business with them, so she stayed downstairs and asked the waiter to show her some new things.

Such a beautiful girl, and the princess's sister! The guys were so enthusiastic that they showed their courtesy to her.

Another group of people went upstairs.

"Yiyi, I know you have a lot of things to do in your house. Dad and Jiafu have taken over the accounts here."

"Okay! Dad, what about the work done by the Ji sisters?"

"In the warehouse over here..."

The warehouse specially opened for Mo Yi was full of large shelves, on which were large bundles, boxes, and goods covered with cloth. They were neatly organized.

"Dad, I called Aunt Yun here to ask her to check the work of the Ji sisters. If there is no problem, we will settle the bill with them before the New Year."

He turned around and said to Aunt Yun: "What I asked you to check are the ones in the warehouse. The ones tied with red ropes over there are the ones I checked before. The ones in this box are the ones that were found to be defective. Look..."

Mo Yi pointed out the problems he had picked out to her one by one, "These are the ones that need to be picked out. There may be other problems. If you don't like them, just point them out and we can discuss it later."

Yunniang took a look at it and nodded, "I see. We need to go over all these things, right?"

"Yes, after checking, tie up the bundle with a red belt, don't mix it up."

"Yes. You go talk to Lord Mo, I will take Qiao'er with me!"

Mo Ruhai and Song Jiafu have already laid out the accounts.

Mo Yi took a look and found that it was remade according to the standards of Qizhenlou. Song Jiafu has been very busy recently. During the day, he has to learn from Manager Zhao and entertain guests. When old customers go to the shop over there, he has to go over to entertain them. When he goes home at night, he takes care of these accounts. It can be said that he has made rapid progress.

"Second brother has been working hard recently, don't worry, madam!"

After Mo Yi looked at the accounts, he found that this year's performance was much better than last year, increasing two or three times.

Mo Ruhai told Mo Yi the amount of cash he had: "The silver and banknotes are all at home. I'm afraid it's not safe to take them out. I'll go home later and you can take them."

"Dad, I'll leave the silver with you." Although Dad said he would give her the piece, how could she really take it?

"No……"

"Listen to my daughter, business is so good, we really need to buy some materials. After the New Year, you can write to your friends there. When the prince comes back, I will ask him if he has any connections to exchange the silver. If you want to buy materials, you can't be too generous, otherwise, it won't be cost-effective with the shipping cost. In addition, we have to settle the bill with the Ji family, and the New Year bonuses for Li Qi and Song Jiafu, you have to do it yourself."

"I understand. Leave these to Daddy!"

"Besides, it's the end of the year... my family also knows about our small business. We have to think about my uncle and mother, as well as my eldest and second brothers..."

Mo Ruhai nodded: "Of course, I'll give you as much as you want."

Looking at the accounts in front of her, and the small shop downstairs that has not yet opened...what's wrong with the princess running a small business?

The princess has to make a living too! Not making money, just relying on the monthly salary?

I thought two hundred taels was a lot, but according to the rules of this mansion, it is not enough to spend!

Alas...it seems that it is not unreasonable to look at the dowry when marrying a wife!

I don't know how Mo Wen entertained people...
