Chapter 175 Let’s Get Married
In Prince Qi's Mansion, Concubine Feng has been very busy lately.
She had a premonition: that person... should be entering the mansion soon.
At the Liu family's birthday banquet, the things that the prince ordered to be taken out of the warehouse were sent directly to the Mo family.
That person has already started socializing on behalf of the prince.
Not married yet!
Don’t understand what all this is for?
She didn't want to think about it anymore...
A few days ago, I started to clean up the accounts in my hands. I transferred what I could transfer and hid what I could hide.
At first, she was not able to do these things. Later, she was able to control things secretly, but being the head of the family gave her the mentality of a master. Although she saved some private property, she did not make any big moves.
As for the future, she will definitely find and create various opportunities to fight for it.
But on the other hand, we must also prepare for a rainy day!
…
Li Jing asked Mo Yi to meet him at the teahouse.
It was drizzling that day.
Autumn wind, autumn rain, fallen leaves on the road, it suddenly became cold.
When she went there, Zhao Zuo and Zhao You were chatting and laughing on the first floor. When they saw her coming, they quickly led her upstairs.
Today, Li Jing is dressed casually and looks relaxed. He is standing in front of the window, looking at the street scene, holding a teacup.
"Your Highness!" Mo Yi saluted.
"Are you here? Sit down."
Mo Yi sat down obediently.
Seeing that she didn't take off her cloak, I guess she felt a little cold in the room.
Then he shouted to the outside of the door, "Light a charcoal basin!"
Neither of them spoke.
After a while, the charcoal brazier came in and the room immediately became warm.
Mo Yi then took off her outer cape, revealing a purple-bottomed, narrow-sleeved silk cotton jacket with red plums and a pleated skirt. She had been busy recently, and had become stronger and thinner, with a very slender figure.
She didn't dress formally today. Her jet-black hair was simply tied behind her head, and she wore two pearl hairpins and Dongzhu earrings.
She looks like a young lady in the boudoir.
"Your Majesty, when I went to the Liu family a few days ago, I encountered something that I wanted to tell you about."
"Go ahead."
Mo Yi then explained it again carefully.
After hearing this, Li Jing hummed without any expression.
"Later, I got the news that Miss Sun was ill and was sent to the manor by the Sun family."
"I haven't paid attention to the Sun family... This incident must be just a dispute between the younger daughters." Li Jing didn't think much about it.
"That's what Madam Zhao said."
"You should do the same thing in the future. It's okay... How is your shop going?"
"It's going well. We're still preparing the stock. I calculated that it cost a lot of money..." Mo Yi couldn't stop talking when he mentioned this topic: "I didn't know before that there were so many interesting things, and they were all so expensive! After the shop is repaired, we still have to decorate it. This alone will cost a lot of money. The price of the shelves for displaying the items is shocking..."
Seeing her vivid description, Li Jing smiled, "It's just like that at most. When you see the palace purchasing, you will know what a high price is. Don't worry about the money. When you need it, just tell Manager Zhao directly."
"...I took some from Shopkeeper Zhao, and I wrote down the receipts."
Li Jing smiled, "It's better to make money from these industries, but money is not the only purpose. For you, starting something from scratch is a kind of growth. If the business is good in the future, it will be good. If the business is not good, there will be certain lessons learned. With such a shop, it will be much cheaper to accumulate connections and collect information in the future."
"I may need to slowly comprehend what you said..." Mo Yi poured tea and thought about the prospect, which was quite beautiful.
"No rush... Considering your age and experience, it's not easy to achieve this."
"Your Majesty, this... was made for you by Mo Yi."
Mo Yi picked up a crescent-shaped object, and Li Jing took it and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"A cowhide bag. Used to carry things..."
"…How do you load things?"
"Look...you can put these books in there." Mo Yi walked over to Li Jing and gestured, picking up the books on the table. "...put it in like this, then cover it and tie it with a belt. And this is the bamboo handle, you can carry it like this!"
"...carry it." Li Jing was a little amused, "Do you think I'm one of those grown-up girls?"
To be honest, there are a lot of people behind me, is there anything I need to carry by myself?
Brocade robe and silver crown, holding such a thing in hand, what's that? Isn't it funny?
"Look, I found this cowhide from a merchant in West City. The leather is very well tanned, with only the strongest layer left. It's soft, with only a little smell. The color is also well dyed. The cowhide is strong and durable, and it's not afraid of water. It's also big enough to hold the dozen or so books you have."
Li Jing smiled helplessly: "Hey, if it's in the store, how much silver do you plan to sell it for?"
Then, Mo Yi calculated in detail how much silver the raw materials would cost and how much the labor would cost.
How many she plans to make and how much she wants to sell them for.
"When I was making this for you, I had a lot of new ideas. In the future, I can embroider it. With a hemp braid, I can wear it cross-body, like this..."
She gestured, "Your Highness can also carry it on his back when he is riding a horse. It won't fall off. For a man, this is much more practical than a purse. It can hold silver, handkerchiefs, water bags and food. How convenient!?
Actually, this bag was not entirely my idea. Originally, it was already in that store, but it was very simple and ugly. So not many people bought it. "
She talked for so long, but Li Jing didn't really take it to heart.
Rather, I really like the way she is cheerful and chattering.
This makes me feel very relaxed.
Sometimes, he really needs this feeling of relaxation.
"Mo Yi... let's get married at the end of the year?!" He didn't know why he said that.
Mo Yi, who was immersed in his grand career, blinked and was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
His face suddenly turned red.
"Your Highness..." She immediately stopped speaking as fluently as before and stammered, not knowing what to say.
"What? You don't want to marry me?" Li Jing suddenly wanted to tease her.
"No! That's not it!" Mo Yi felt that he was being shy and exaggerated, and quickly straightened his posture, "It's just that I didn't expect it... and... I really didn't expect it!"
To be honest, my shop hasn’t opened yet.
I'm so busy, how can I have time to think about getting married?
I have invested so much money and so many people are following me. If I slack off, what if something goes wrong?
"Your Highness, that shop...will open at the end of the year."
"Open it?!" Li Jing looked at her.
"You, what will the emperor say?"
…
In the palace, Princess Yu'an and the Queen Mother were venting their emotions.
The Liu family's business failed, and Sun Ying'er was also implicated.
No one expected Mo Yi to go, what was she doing there! It's really...
This person is still of great use to me. I can't get along badly with her, nor can I let her doubt me.
This is not a matter of a slap or a few words of gossip... You have to get along with her, just like you did with Zhou Li in the past!
After thinking for a long time, he finally smiled, "Mother, when will the seventh son get married? I heard that his house has been tidying up!"
The queen was annoyed by her daughter for a while before lowering her head to do her own thing. "Who knows! Even if you don't look at the cleaning, there's a good chance that it will be delayed."
"No way. That girl has gone to the Liu family on behalf of Old Seven!"
"Really?" The queen looked at her daughter.
"I saw it."
"He has found a good princess. Don't set your sights on her. At the very least, you have to get married first!"
"Mother! Is my daughter so unbearable..." Princess Yu'an smiled, "Then please think of a way to get them married quickly!"
…
After Mo Yi left, Li Jing had to go do some work.
He really packed the things he needed to take into a cowhide bag and carried it out by himself.
Zhao Zuo and Zhao You were both stunned. What was this? But they didn't dare to ask.
As a result, the group of people who went to discuss the matter looked surprised and praised it for a long time.
Li Jing's long-lasting dark face now has a hint of smile...
We plan to have the prince marry a wife during the New Year to bring double happiness.
But I may not be able to write it down... let's see.
