Chapter 48 Financial Vacancy



Listening to his subordinates' words, Fu Yu tapped the edge of the table lightly and fell into deep thought. The image of the girl who was smart, decisive, bold yet steady emerged in his mind.

It seems that I really underestimated her ability before?

Now that I think about it, I guess all the fabrics she bought in large quantities have been shipped out successfully?

That night, he specifically asked about Wen Zhu's situation. "Have you sold all the fabrics other than what you need? And it's said that they were all sold when the market was at its peak, and the prices were several times higher than usual?"

Fu Yu asked with interest, his voice full of anticipation.

"Oh, this is very simple. My Lord, please come closer and I will tell you quietly."

Wen Zhu waved his hand, a smile of pride and joy on his face.

Fu Yu actually leaned over and put on a serious look, as if he really wanted to hear a huge secret.

She lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "The truth is, she is a fairy who came down from heaven to earth..."

"Oh, you naughty little girl! I'll teach you a lesson!"

Fu Yu suddenly realized that she was teasing him, and he rushed towards her with a smile, and the two of them started laughing and playing together.

In the end, he let the little girl go. Fu Yu smiled helplessly and said, "It seems you really guessed it right."

"That's right! When I first took over the store, I was afraid of running out of stock, so I stocked up on some items. Unexpectedly, I happened to catch this wave of price increases. In that sense, I can be considered a lucky star!"

Wen Zhu said this proudly, and deliberately straightened his back, appearing particularly energetic.

"What a lucky star! Please help me grind it. With a lucky star like you to help me, my future will surely be even brighter and more glorious."

Fu Yu said half-jokingly.

"Of course, my Lord, everything will go smoothly for you!"

Wen Zhu immediately echoed, his tone full of confidence.

After this joke, the atmosphere in the study became relaxed and cheerful.

After a moment, Fu Yu suddenly became serious, took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Wen Zhu.

Wen Zhu took it and looked at it. It turned out to be the title deed of the garment store. The name had been changed to hers and it was stamped with an official seal.

"I just finished it, keep it for now."

Fu Yu said this and turned to the bookshelf, taking a book from it.

Looking at this generous gift, Wen Zhu was deeply touched. Such a store is worth a lot of money.

The store faces a busy street, and the interior decoration is simple and elegant, with a grand scene that makes people admire it.

In contrast, concubines in many aristocratic families were treated haphazardly, often neglected or even abused, and lived in extremely difficult conditions.

However, Fu Yu was indeed a rare good master. He not only gave her enough respect, but also considered her in every way.

Before Wen Zhu could express his gratitude, Fu Yu thought for a moment and then said, "Since your clothing store is now on track and running smoothly, are you interested in trying to manage a teahouse? This teahouse is also owned by me. Although it is small, it has an excellent location. If it is well managed, it will definitely make a lot of profit."

Hearing this, Wen Zhu was stunned for a moment, and his heart was filled with endless gratitude: "My Lord, I am already very satisfied with this clothing store. I dare not covet other livelihoods. The gift you have given me is enough to make me grateful. I will definitely run it well and will never let you down."

"Men should master the Six Arts, and women should be familiar with the Eight Graces. One of these is the art of tea tasting, which is always useful to learn. Here's how. There's an experienced stewardess in the teahouse. You can ask her to teach you the basics tomorrow."

Fu Yu looked at Wen Zhu gently and said, his eyes full of expectations and trust in her.

When it comes to Baya, Wen Zhu has a general idea in his mind.

Suisui's status is extraordinary. He must have been brought up among the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and flowers and tea, so he naturally has outstanding skills in tea art.

However, due to some unknown reasons, she could not be by his side now, which naturally made the prince feel a little regretful.

In order to give Fu Yu psychological comfort, he must be closer to Sui Sui's image to fill the gap she left.

From an ordinary maid to someone who can read and write, and understands business management and account keeping, she is moving towards her goal step by step.

Seeing her efforts must have brought Fu Yu great spiritual comfort and a sense of pride.

Every time she saw his smile, she felt that all her efforts were worth it.

Thinking of this, how could she not devote herself to studying tea art?

"Thank you for your care and support, Prince."

Wen Zhu stared at Fu Yu with a determined look in his eyes.

"You're welcome. Well, take your pick of what you want to read."

Fu Yu raised his head slightly and smiled gently.

"good."

After saying that, Wen Zhu walked to the bookshelf, carefully selected a poetry collection that he liked, then sat down quietly and began to immerse himself in the words.

Despite a late start, she was determined to work harder to make up for lost time.

Just when she had memorized two poems, she suddenly heard the respectful voice of Li Guanshi coming from outside the door: "Greetings to the Duke."

"No thanks."

This was the majestic yet slightly tired voice of Duke Anguo.

Seeing this scene, Fu Yu quickly closed the book and quickly stood up to greet them.

At the door, she happened to meet her father who came to visit.

Wen Zhu lowered his head and stood quietly aside.

"Father, if you have anything to say, just send someone to call me over. Why do you have to come here in person?"

As Fu Yu spoke, he invited his father to sit in the main seat in the outer room, and he himself sat respectfully on the chair next to it.

Afterwards, Wen Zhu brought a cup of steaming tea and gently placed it on the small table next to Duke Anguo. Then he quietly retreated and waited quietly outside the door.

"I was taking a walk after dinner and happened to pass by here, so I stopped by to see how you were doing."

Duke Anguo said with concern and kindness.

"So how are your military affairs going?"

Fu Yu asked with concern.

"Everything is going smoothly. After these problems are resolved, I can take a good rest for about a month."

At this point, Duke Anguo showed a satisfied expression on his face.

"But I have to go to the north again next month. The climate there is harsh and cold. Please take care of yourself, Dad!"

The son instructed with concern.

"I'm used to those harsh conditions, so there's no need to worry too much. Besides, the national finances aren't very abundant right now, so it's unlikely we'll start a war anytime soon. Plus, with me stationed at the border, the neighboring countries won't dare to provoke easily."

Duke Anguo said comfortingly.

After hearing this, Fu Yu still frowned and thought for a long time, as if he still had some worries in his heart that were difficult to let go.

"His Highness told me that you have performed extremely well in all matters.
