Xiao Qingwei hurriedly whispered a few words in her ear, and she slowly calmed down.
Seeing that the scene had quieted down, Nanny Xiao returned to Tian An and waited for her to speak.
Tian An was pregnant with twins. Even though she took good care of herself, she still had uncontrollable edema in the late stages of pregnancy.
Her originally delicate and small face became rounder, and her belly was much bigger than that of other pregnant women.
Fortunately, her facial features are good, not only does she not look bloated, but her every move adds a touch of grace and elegance, making the people outside the door feel that she is noble and cannot be desecrated just by looking at her.
But she had a smile on her face and gentle eyes, which made people feel extremely friendly.
The radiance of maternal love shines brightly, seemingly without anyone noticing, giving a sense of Bodhisattva saving all living beings.
Two maids helped her up and walked to the doorstep. The shopkeeper hurried forward and told everyone the whole story in detail. Now everyone, whether they came earlier or later, understood what had happened.
"This matter has not been listed in advance. I really can't make the decision. I have no choice but to bring people to disturb the lady."
Tian An smiled and nodded, looking in the direction of Xiao Minru and her brother, "Is this the girl who wants to buy the right to use the seat?"
Xiao Minru looked up and said yes, "I am of noble birth, and I want the best of everything. I never sit with the poor and humble."
As soon as she said this, she immediately annoyed the ladies who had just wanted to change seats with her.
"What do you mean by that? Who are you calling a poor and humble person?"
"Look at what you're wearing. You look no different from a servant in my house. And you still have the nerve to say you were born noble. Forgive my poor eyesight, but I really can't see how you're noble."
A lady in green even took a step back, looked at her suspiciously, and pointed at her head, "Is there something wrong with this person's brain?"
Reminded by her, the others were suddenly shocked, "No way! No way! Are we being fooled by a fool?"
"You are the fool, your whole family is fools, you..." Xiao Minru roared angrily.
Before she could vent enough, Tian An interrupted her with a good-natured smile, "Since this lady has decided, please ask the shopkeeper to calculate the money needed to reserve a seat!
The sun is so scorching! If I finish my work sooner, I can go back to the shop and enjoy some cool milk tea!
After he finished speaking, the shopkeeper had already started fiddling with the small abacus he carried with him. Xiao Minru's unspoken words were stuck in her neck, and she felt quite uncomfortable.
Tian An had a smile on his face from beginning to end, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Before she could think more, she heard the shopkeeper start to clatter the beads on the abacus, and she could only focus her attention on the shopkeeper for the time being.
But after a while, the shopkeeper said, "Our shop is open four hours a day. Deduct half an hour for this girl, so it will be three and a half hours.
The place seats six people, and the average income per hour is 360 coins, which means 1 tael and 260 coins a day.
"37 taels and 800 wen a month, 453 taels and 600 wen a year. I'll round off the number and make it 453 taels for you."
After finishing the calculation, he looked up at Xiao Minru and asked, "How many months or years does this girl plan to keep you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Minru, waiting for her to speak.
Xiao Qingwei pulled her sleeve imperceptibly and shook his head slightly at her, wanting her to pack less.
This time they only brought one hundred taels of silver with them. They had spent it lavishly before and there was not much left.
Besides, if nothing unexpected happens, the whole world will belong to them soon. By then, the capital will be the same as Chuzhou to them. There will be no need for them to give money. There is no need to waste money at this time.
The two siblings had a tacit understanding. Xiao Qingwei only needed to give Xiao Minru a look to know what he was thinking.
But at this time she obviously had other plans. She gently squeezed Xiao Qingwei's hand, walked past the shopkeeper, and came to Tian An, with greed in her eyes not concealed at all.
After a perfunctory salute, Okita An raised her head and said to Tian An with a proud face: "I am the Princess Jiamin of the Wenxuan Palace of Chuzhou. Since you are the wife of the Duke of Zhao, I will call you cousin-in-law for the time being."
As she spoke, without waiting for Tian An to speak, she couldn't wait to change the subject and continue: "Cousin, this is Minru's first time in Beijing, you should at least give her a meeting gift!
This princess thinks your milk tea shop is good, why don't you give it to Minru as a gift!"
After hearing the shopkeeper's calculation, she immediately wanted to keep it for herself.
The business of this shop is so good that just one set of tables and chairs can bring such high profits. In addition to some scattered seats, there are at least eight sets of tables and chairs in the shop. Based on this calculation, this milk tea shop can earn at least three thousand taels a year. Isn't it a cash cow?
She was going to live in the capital from now on. If she could get hold of such a profitable shop...
The more Xiao Minru thought about it, the more excited she became, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Tian An was full of determination.
After hearing what she said, everyone who was originally talking among themselves was stunned as if time had stopped.
After a moment, everyone was startled. After they realized what was happening, they all took a step back and moved further away from her. There was obviously more fear in their eyes when they looked at Xiao Minru than before. Some of the timid ones even left secretly.
It's nothing, it's just that Princess Jiamin's name has been a household name these days! The fate of the elderly couple selling wontons outside the city gate is still vivid in my mind.
They were just ordinary people, powerless and powerless, so how could they not be afraid? They had to be careful not to attract the attention of this vicious princess and lose their heads just for watching the fun!
Xiao Minru didn't know the reason and thought that everyone was afraid of her title of princess. She became even more proud. After glancing around with contempt, she swaggered into the Duke's Mansion with her hands behind her back.
Unfortunately, before he could take two steps, he was stopped by the guards at the gate.
She frowned at the two large swords lying in front of her, and looked at Tian An with dissatisfaction, "What does this mean, cousin?"
Tian An still had a smile on his face, looking friendly, but he had no intention of letting her in. He looked her up and down for a while before curling his lips and saying, "Young lady, you said you were Princess Jiamin, but do you have any proof? Don't take advantage of the fact that I haven't left my house during my pregnancy and am isolated from the news and deliberately deceive me."
"This, this..." Xiao Minru was speechless for a moment. She had sneaked out today, and the clothes she was wearing were still those of a maid! Where was the proof?
Seeing her hesitant, everyone thought she was guilty.
But everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
