Chapter 101 Xiaotu has something to do
Duobaozhai.
The burly Xiao Hu and Xiao Bao, wearing an awkward round-necked suit, stood outside the door to welcome guests warmly.
Today they opened their shop and they were going to be their own bosses, the two brothers were extremely happy.
“Pah pah…”
Both of them were slapped on the back of the head at the same time.
Madam Xiao came over with Master Xiao, staring at him with almond-shaped eyes and said, "Why are you grinning like an idiot? Can't you see there are so many guests? Why don't you go and greet them quickly?"
Xiao Hu and Xiao Bao covered the back of their heads, looked around, and then said with an apologetic smile, "Mom, there are so many people outside, can you please give us some face?"
"Yes, Mom, my brother and I are the bosses now..."
"Boss?" Mrs. Xiao glared at them, and the two of them immediately smiled, shrank their necks, and ran away quickly.
Ji Fugui couldn't help laughing and said, "You two gentlemen are really humorous and funny."
Madam Xiao laughed helplessly, "What humor? That's just stupid. Today's matter is thanks to you. If it weren't for your hard work, how could those two guys have run such a big shop?"
Master Xiao also nodded and said, "That's right, Brother Ji, you have helped us a lot this time."
Ji Fugui smiled and shook his hand, "Master and Madam, you are too polite. I am working for the princess now, which means I am working for our Xiao family. We are all family, so there is no need to thank me!"
Madam Xiao and Master Xiao beamed upon hearing this. Boss Ji really knew how to talk, and they immediately became more friendly. "Boss Ji, you're an old hand, too. Is Duobaozhai really as good as you expected?"
Ji Fugui, however, spoke as if he had found a treasure. "Master and Madam, just wait and see. I won't mention anything else. Just the soap that the princess gave you two young masters will make the entire store famous today. Moreover, this item alone is enough to support the entire store's operations."
Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao opened their eyes wide, "So powerful?"
Ji Fugui smiled mysteriously, "This thing is a magical item. Not only does it have amazing cleaning power and a long-lasting fragrance, but using it regularly will also make your skin smooth and tender, and beautify your complexion."
Madam Xiao was very surprised. "It turned out to be like this. Those two brats didn't even tell me?"
"So, Master and Madam, you understand now. From now on, soap will become the favorite item of noble ladies throughout the capital. It's no exaggeration to say that our Duobaozhai will make a fortune every day!"
After the words were spoken, the Xiao couple smiled like sunflowers, as bright as they could be.
Xiaotu, who had just arrived, poked his head in front of the two of them and asked, "What's up? You're so happy?"
Mrs. Xiao rushed towards her daughter with a smile, and was so happy that she couldn't speak for a long time.
Mr. Xiao was laughing so hard that only his nose could be seen.
Xiao Tu looked at Ji Fugui and said, "What did you say to make my parents so angry?"
Ji Fugui's face was flushed as he said, "I didn't say anything, I just told the master and the mistress that we will be rich in the future!"
Xiaotu understood immediately, "Is it because of the soap?"
Ji Fugui nodded, "Yes, it is the magical object that you took out, Princess."
Xiao Tu smiled and said, "This is not a magical item at all. I have plenty of such recipes here."
This sentence made Mrs. Xiao and Mr. Xiao laugh so hard that they couldn't stop.
Private room upstairs.
Ji Fugui bowed first, then smiled and said, "I wonder what instructions the princess has?"
Xiao Tu drank tea and said, "Your idea of opening a shop is very good. It will also give my two brothers a career and solve a difficult problem for my parents."
Ji Fugui showed respect and said, "This is what I should do."
Xiao looked at him and smiled, "You've seen my parents and brother, and none of them are cut out for business, so I'll leave the Xiao family to you."
Ji Fugui quickly assured, "Princess, please rest assured. I know what to do."
Xiao Tu curled her red lips, "You are a smart person. This princess knows that you have great ambitions, but you have never had the opportunity. But under my command, you can rest assured. I will give you more prescriptions, and you don't have to be stingy with money and manpower. Just do whatever you want!"
Ji Fugui couldn't hide his excitement. He clenched his fists and said excitedly, "Princess, please rest assured. In less than three years, I will have Xiao's Duobaozhai open throughout Dazhao."
Xiaotu smiled, "I believe you!"
Given this guy's luck and ability, she believed him if he said he could accomplish it in two years!
After dealing with the Xiao family, Xiao Tu stayed with his parents and brother for a while, then returned to the Jade Prince's Mansion and never came out again!
Jokhang Palace.
Inside the majestic palace, incense curled up from the sandalwood incense burner, pearls, jade and brocade were gorgeous and luxurious, and maids and guards stood quietly on both sides, respectful and silent.
In this huge palace, the only sound is the sound of brush and ink sliding past.
Xiao Lezi stood quietly in the main hall, but his eyes were not very honest, and he would steal a glance at the person in the high seat from time to time.
In the ninth-level high-level palace, the man with red palms and great power, how noble and majestic, but, there is a wound on his scarlet lips.
This place is injured, it can't be that the man bit himself accidentally, right?
The man in the high seat didn't even raise his head. A lazy and evil voice rang out from his cold lips, "Xiao Lezi, your eyeballs have been very active recently. Do you want me to have someone dig them out for you?"
Xiao Lezi shrank his neck and said with an apologetic smile, "I am just worried about you, Master. Do you want some medicine?"
Ning Cuo slowly raised his head, revealing a devilish face. He sneered, "You have a lot of tongues too."
Xiao Lezi chuckled and said, "They are all concerned about the master. After all, there will be a grand court meeting tomorrow. Isn't it for all the civil and military officials to see..."
Ning Cuo raised his dark eyes and smiled slowly, "Then let them watch!"
Xiao Lezi knelt down hurriedly, "Hey!"
Ning Cuo withdrew his gaze, his tone cold and indifferent, "Where is the emperor?"
Xiao Lezi hurriedly said, "I am meditating with Taoist Master Liu."
Ning Cuo smiled and twirled the jeweled ring on his finger. "It's been half a month already. This Taoist priest Liu is truly in the emperor's good graces."
Xiao Lezi hinted, "After all, she is a female Taoist priest, so she must be highly skilled and multi-talented!"
Ning Cuo laughed, his tone light and strange, "Since the emperor is so interested, then help Taoist Liu again and don't let the others in the harem disturb the emperor's interest."
Xiao Lezi nodded, "Master, don't worry. Concubine Gao and the Queen are both busy right now. No one can take care of this Taoist priest!"
Ning Cuodan raised the corners of his narrow eyes, "Oh~?"
Xiao Lezi hurriedly said, "Master, you have been busy recently. I haven't had time to tell you that there are now two noble ladies and one beauty missing from the harem. They were all the most favored ones a while ago."
Ning Cuo sneered contemptuously, "That's really busy!"
At this moment, Xiao Fuzi said outside the door, "Master Du, I have something to report."
Ning Cuo glanced over lazily, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Fuzi bowed respectfully and said, "It's a message from the Jade Prince's Palace. The Madam has something to say to you, Your Majesty."
Ning Cuo's beautiful lips curled up, "Oh, what does the little rabbit want to convey?"
Xiao Fuzi touched his nose and knelt down again, saying, "Forgive my rudeness, but Madam said she's busy tonight and wants you, Your Majesty, to not bother her when you go back tonight!"
