Chapter 341 Jiu Ye: Congratulations to Fourth Brother
Jiu Ye swallowed hard and said, "At the beginning of the whole country..."
Oh my god, he thought opening dozens of stores was a bit too ambitious. So, Little Fourth Sister-in-law was even more ambitious, actually wanting to open stores nationwide?
"Well, fried chicken shops, hot pot shops, barbecue shops—every one of them can be opened nationwide," Wen Jiu thought. Isn't that the case in modern times? In ancient times, food was more uniform, and there weren't any shops specializing in just one type of food. It shouldn't be difficult to build a reputation for one.
However, she felt that she was not capable of it. After all, she had no talent for business, so she tried her best to plant this seed in Jiu Ye's little head.
I hope that Jiu Ye, who is famous in history for his business acumen, wealth and righteousness, can accomplish this great goal!
"Little Fourth Sister-in-law, you are truly a heroine!" Jiu Ye's gaze towards Wen Jiu gradually turned into admiration. "So, what kind of food should we start with? Should we open a few more restaurants?"
"Don't be anxious for now," Wen Jiu said, "as for the store, maybe we can start with the barbecue restaurant. What do you think?"
"If Sister-in-law Four wants to do it, Ninth Brother has no choice but to do it."
Wen Jiu immediately said, "We will split the store 50-50. We will each take half of the capital."
Jiu Ye said nothing and waved his hand: "No need, little fourth sister-in-law, just sit there and be the host. I'll pay for your share."
Wen Jiu shook his head: "No, brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Business matters must not be vague. Many things need to be put in front."
Jiu Ye thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll do as Xiao Si's wife says."
After a moment's thought, he suddenly stood up and said, "Speaking of which, it's time to send someone to look after the store. The weather is perfect now. When it gets a little warmer, we can go out tonight for some barbecue and a bowl of cold wine. It will be so relaxing!"
Wen Jiu nodded. "There's no rush. I'll go look for one when I'm free in a couple of days. I have some ideas for the store's decoration. I'll draw some sketches for you later. Also, we need to write a contract. Once I've drafted it, I'll discuss it with you. If you think it's a good idea, we can finalize it."
"Hey, this is new." It was the first time that Jiu Ye had talked about business with such a serious person. In the past, everyone was reluctant to put money into his pocket because of his status, so naturally, whatever he said was good.
Some of them were obviously trying to fool him, just wanting his reputation. This was the first time someone had spoken to her so seriously.
"Okay, brother will wait for the fourth sister-in-law."
Having resolved the heavy burden in his heart, Master Jiu leaned back in his chair, drank another sip of water comfortably, and took a couple of bites of beef jerky from the table. Suddenly, he said, "By the way, when I just walked in, I heard Little Fourth Sister-in-law's servants were constantly congratulating her. What's the good news?"
Wen Jiu also casually picked up a piece of beef jerky, but before he could put it in his mouth, Nanny Song took it back and said, "Miss, the court doctor just told you to eat less spicy food. This beef jerky has too strong a flavor and it's not good for your health."
"This is..." Jiu Ye blinked suspiciously.
Wen Jiu replied, "Oh, I'm pregnant. However, since it's still the first month, Master Jiu should not tell anyone else."
"Of course," Jiu Ye immediately responded, "Congratulations, little Fourth Sister-in-law. If Fourth Brother knew, he would probably stay home with you all day, right?"
As Jiu Ye said this, his face was as bright as a flower.
How could he not be happy? Once Xiao Si's wife became pregnant, his fourth brother would have to spend a lot of time with her.
This way, he can relax a little.
To be honest, he had been having a very hard time recently. He was able to meet Fourth Sister-in-law this time only after practicing for an extra hour in the evening!
After thinking for a moment, Jiu Ye immediately took out a Hetian jade pendant of excellent quality from his arms and slapped it on the table: "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, here, give it to my nephew to play with first. Let him remember that this is a gift from his uncle Jiu."
Wen Jiu didn't expect that they would start accepting gifts before the child was even born. He immediately smiled and said, "But I want to thank Uncle Jiu on behalf of the child."
[Ding~ Received a gift from uncle, Mengbao's luck value +1, current luck value -9]
Suddenly, he heard a sound in his head. Wen Jiu looked down at the jade pendant in surprise. Hey, is it possible?
Call Xiao Jin out immediately, this guy didn’t tell me before.
[Master, gaining the love of immediate family members can improve all of your stats, but only basic attributes like appearance, stamina, and intelligence are included. Luck can be improved by giving gifts to those with whom you have a bond.]
So that's how it is. Then wouldn't she be able to fill up her child's luck points in just a few minutes?
At that moment, Wen Jiu felt a little more favorable towards Master Jiu, and immediately said with a smile: "Master Jiu, when the child is born, I will definitely let him tell him that his uncle was the first to give him a gift!"
Jiu Ye said cheerfully, "When he comes out, I will definitely take him to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."
Wen Jiu continued, "It's just that I dreamed there was more than one thing in my stomach, and I don't know how to divide Master Jiu's jade pendant."
Jiu Ye blinked his eyes and said, "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, are you overthinking this?"
What's going on? Are there more than one baby in the belly? Could it be twins? How could such a good thing happen so unexpectedly?
"Yes, I dreamed of more than one." Wen Jiu nodded firmly.
Jiu Ye thought for a moment and said, "I got some Western gadgets a while ago, and I'll send them to Fourth Sister-in-law later. If it's really twins, you'll be blessed."
The Manchus don't care about things like the birth of twins, cholera, and government affairs. In the past, there were several wives, regardless of age, and if there was something to do, the one who was capable would be appointed.
However, Jiu Ye was actually more trying to coax her into drinking wine, thinking that his little fourth sister-in-law was dreaming. However, little fourth sister-in-law was pregnant, and it was not easy to make her unhappy, so he just said something to please her.
"But thank you, Master Jiu," he said while warming the wine, and immediately ordered, "Big Spoon, pack some food for Master Jiu to take back."
Jiu Ye is really a lucky star. If he had more gifts, wouldn’t his luck value be maxed out in one go?
"Don't be polite, little fourth sister-in-law. I'm leaving now. I have to practice more when I go back today. Tomorrow is the big test. If I don't do well in the test, the emperor will pull me out for extra practice. I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of our business." Jiu Ye said as he stood up.
Wen Jiu immediately stood up to see him off: "Go back quickly, and be careful on the road."
Master Jiu was carrying a few oil-paper bags, and the servant behind him was holding two small jars. They went out in a good mood.
After returning home, the Fourth Master went straight to Qingliang Pavilion and saw the Ninth Master on the way.
From a distance, seeing Lao Jiu running towards him with a big smile on his face, the Fourth Master raised his eyebrows slightly. Hey, today he is not like a mouse seeing a cat?
When the Ninth Master came closer, he clasped his fists towards the Fourth Master and smiled, revealing his small white teeth: "Congratulations, Fourth Brother."
The Fourth Master frowned slightly: "Congratulations on what?"
Jiu Ye knew: "Fourth brother doesn't know yet?"
The Fourth Master wondered, "What do you want to know?"
Jiu Ye: "...Fourth Brother will know later!"
Then he clasped his fists and said, "Brother, now that I'm back, Fourth Brother, please be nicer to Little Fourth Sister-in-law."
Fourth Master: “???”
