Chapter 521 I won’t share the money with you
"I heard that women don't like men who are too weak. They like strong and powerful men." Jun Lie's thumb rubbed her palm.
"Itchy." Xiao Jiuyue pinched his fingers hard. After listening to his words, she finally understood. Her face flushed like a boiled shrimp. She cleared her throat: "Who told you that?"
"Of course, the soldiers in the army." Jun Lie learned a lot from leading the troops in this battle, especially these dirty jokes. Jun Lie could know a lot without listening carefully.
"Well, that's good. Who doesn't want their man to have a strong body? If he is weak, he will be blown down by a gust of wind. How can he protect the family from wind and rain?" Xiao Jiuyue answered seriously. When she came to her senses, she found that she and Jun Lie were both sitting on the ground, very close to each other.
"Yeah, Jiuyue is right." Jun Lie nodded in agreement. When Xiao Jiuyue tried to move, he covered his chest and frowned, "I feel dizzy."
"Don't move, lean on me." Xiao Jiuyue changed direction so that Jun Lie could lean on her shoulder.
"I'll help you up, it will be fine." Jun Lie grabbed her hand, looking weak.
"Wait, your back is injured, why are you holding your chest?" Xiao Jiuyue reacted belatedly and stared at Jun Lie's face: "Are you pretending?"
Jun Lie changed the subject immediately: "The arrow is poisonous. Did you give me the antidote?"
"I've seen the life-threatening poison before. Luckily, Hua Qing gave me plenty of medicine, otherwise, you would be dead today!" Xiao Jiuyue said immediately after mentioning this: "Didn't they say that those assassins in black were fake? Why did they use poison and act so cruelly? Could they have rebelled?"
Xiao Jiuyue looked at him worriedly and said, "With so many people under you, it's inevitable that some of them will have ulterior motives."
"Yes, someone betrayed us." Jun Lie lowered his eyes. After he was injured, Jiu Yue became even more gentle.
Jiuyue’s hands are so soft.
Jun Lie leaned on Xiao Jiuyue's shoulder: "Jiuyue, you are right. After we get married, you can help me take care of these people. You manage the Xiao family very well."
"What?" Xiao Jiuyue immediately got furious when she heard this. "Jun Lie, there are already so many things to do in the inner house, and there are so many shops. And you still want me to help you manage people?"
In the future, Jun Lie will at least be a prince, and there will be more things to do in the palace. When will she be able to lie down and do nothing?
"Well, that's right. Jiuyue should be the mistress of the house after marrying me. There are so many things to do in the inner house. How can I let Jiuyue take care of these trivial matters?" Jun Lie gently stroked the back of her hand and said in agreement: "Jiuyue, those people are actually not difficult to manage. They can even help you with the work."
"Hmm?" Xiao Jiuyue glanced sideways in confusion.
Jun Lie's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "From now on, I will hand over all the people I have to you."
Xiao Jiuyue's eyes lit up a bit, and she looked at Jun Lie and said, "Well, give it all to me? Give me the silver too?"
"Of course." Jun Lie nodded firmly.
Xiao Jiuyue clapped her legs excitedly and said, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have to give you half of the money from the salt well. That would be a lot of silver!"
“…”
Jun Lie looked at her silently, his eyes seemed to say: Jiuyue, why do you think differently from others?
"There's no need to share the money from Fengchunlou with you." Xiao Jiuyue counted on his fingers. As he did so, he couldn't help but say, "It seems like our businesses overlap a lot."
"Of course, because Fengchunlou was specially sent to you by me." Jun Lie looked at her with a smile. When he first knew that Zeng Qing and Xiao Jiuyue were doing business, Jun Lie was very happy.
Especially Xiao Jiuyue's dishes, which made Fengchunlou's business flourish, and made him feel proud to be part of it.
"Wait a minute, I need to discuss this with you. If it weren't for me, Fengchunlou would have such a prosperous business, expanding from Lancang County to Hongdu, and then to Shengjing?" Xiao Jiuyue said proudly, "Fengchunlou's success today, its place in Shengjing, is all thanks to my new dishes and ideas!"
Xiao Jiuyue felt that this management method was very successful, and constantly trying new dishes made Fengchunlou's position unshakable. Even in Shengjing, those dignitaries liked it very much!
"Jiuyue is really amazing. She is a role model for women all over the world. In the future, women in South Vietnam will also be able to do business." Jun Lie likes to see her confident look. Her eyes seem to be shining.
"Yes, girls can also go to school and become officials!" Xiao Jiuyue immediately thought of another thing when she heard this. Many girls from poor families in South Vietnam had only one thing to do after they were born: get married, exchange for a betrothal gift, give birth to children for their in-laws, and serve their husbands.
The woman's entire life revolves around the small piece of sky in the backyard.
"A girl goes to school? Becomes an official?" Jun Lie was surprised.
Xiao Jiuyue said, "Right. Who says a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent? Aren't these daughters of high-ranking officials all well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics? Some women are even more talented than men. It's a pity that they don't have the opportunity to take the imperial examination."
"Well, that's true." Jun Lie agreed. Duke Jiang's wife was very smart, and Jiu Yue was also very smart.
"Besides, it's a great thing for girls to go to school and do business." Xiao Jiuyue began to brainwash Jun Lie. When Jun Lie ascends to the throne in the future, perhaps, these ideas of hers can really be implemented!
"Your idea will come true." Jun Lie looked at her with a smile. He could see the cunning in her eyes.
Suddenly, Xiao Jiuyue's heart moved, remembering his promise, to be together forever, waiting for him to stand in that position...
"We'll be together forever. I will do it." Jun Lie seemed to know what she was thinking and promised solemnly.
"I will never leave you." Xiao Jiuyue held his hand. As long as he did what he said, she would never leave him.
…
"Is Sister Xiao back?"
When the Sixth Princess rushed back, she was waiting for Xiao Jiuyue, but Xiao Jiuyue never showed up.
"No." Chunmei shook her head and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. The Emperor has already sent people to catch the assassin. Miss Xiao will be fine. Maybe she didn't encounter the assassin at all, but she had too many prey and forgot when to return."
"It must be like this." The Sixth Princess was worried. When she saw the signal flare, she immediately knew that the hunting ground was not safe. She deliberately took a detour to the direction of Xiao Jiuyue. Unfortunately, she didn't see Xiao Jiuyue along the way, so she came back first.
Not long after she came back, she heard that her second brother had been in trouble, along with Princess Mu Xi and Du Ting.
"Chunmei, send someone else to inquire. We must find Sister Xiao." The Sixth Princess was really worried and sent Chunmei away again. Just as Chunmei left, Du Ting returned: "Your Highness, Miss Xiao hasn't returned yet? Could she have been assassinated?"
