After Zhou Qiongyue opened this teahouse in Yuan'an, many noble ministers and ladies liked to spend time on the second floor where there was no worldly atmosphere.
With the windows closed, you can quietly drink tea, read a book, or chat with friends. With the windows open and sitting by the window, you can hear the sound of storytelling downstairs and the cheers of the crowd on the first floor.
The storyteller downstairs was also someone Zhou Qiongyue asked to adapt the stories based on the TV series, movies and famous books she had watched in her previous life and adapted them to the current era.
Many people even come to Renjian Yanhuo to drink tea for a month just to listen to a story.
Afterwards, Zhou Qiongyue launched a series of membership benefits, such as priority in booking private rooms and redeeming points for gifts. Those who were not short of money were actively paying for tea and tea sets, just to have the privilege of booking the best private rooms first.
Moreover, everyone knew that the owner of this teahouse was powerful, so no one dared to cause trouble here. Over time, many people who didn't like gossip became more fond of this place.
After all, as long as you order a pot of tea, no one will kick you out even if you sit in the lobby all day.
Zhou Qiongyue looked at the silver that came into the tea basket every day. After six months of hard work, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Then Zhou Qiongyue handed the teahouse over to Gulan to take charge, mainly focusing on the account books.
After all, even if the indentures of these people were in her hands, she was still worried that money would tempt people.
After Zhou Qiongyue handed the teahouse over to Gulan, she focused her attention on her two sons.
After this, she found that the two children seemed to have grown up unconsciously and became more and more like children. The almost two-year-old child could act naughty on his own and even had his own emotions and preferences.
Sometimes she even felt that the second son Yuan Chaokang was a little special, but when she looked at him carefully, she didn't find anything.
She had also tried to figure it out, it wasn't reincarnation, nor was it time travel. But sometimes the look in the second child's eyes really didn't look like a child's.
But Zhou Qiongyue still overlooked one point: the time traveler didn't necessarily come from her own era. In fact, Yuan Chaokang did travel from another male-oriented book.
When he came through, the child was already in Zhou Qiongyue's belly. If he hadn't come, the child would have died immediately.
Yuan Chaokang was also an emperor of a dynasty in his previous life. Although he died of old age, he also fought his way out among many brothers.
Yuan Chaokang had actually covered it up quite well, but after being an emperor his entire life, it was hard to change some habits. Especially after he could walk, the more he moved, the more he exposed himself.
Zhou Qiongyue, who had the same experience, suspected it.
But Yuan Chaokang had no ambitions in this life. He just wanted to be like his princess mother, drinking tea and daydreaming all his life, or wait until he grew up to see if he had any hobbies.
Yuan Chaokang's wish in this life is to be a playboy who lives a life of idleness and waiting for death, and live a different life.
But after observing the child for a few days, Zhou Qiongyue didn't notice anything unusual and decided she was overthinking it. Perhaps some children are just different, so she accepted it.
But later, Zhou Qiongyue discovered that Yuan Chaokang was a very quiet child. Yuan Chaochang, on the other hand, was more like a normal child, either changing clothes or on his way to change clothes every day.
Yuan Chaokang either sat quietly beside her in a daze or slept next to her.
Zhou Qiongyue worried about autism or something, and after another half month of worrying, she was sure that the child was just lazy.
Zhou Qiongyue finally understood the saying, "Only when you have a child do you understand the love of your parents." Raising a child is a lot to worry about, and she has a lot of people around her at all times, which sometimes makes her feel very exhausted.
Since Yuan Bohua went to the camp outside Beijing, he initially came back once every two weeks. Later, he went out to suppress bandits, and Zhou Qiongyue hadn't seen him for two months.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't worried, but there was no point in worrying. Everyone had their own things to do, so she could only deal with the things in the mansion.
At the end of the month, when Zhou Qiongyue saw the account book for Renjianyanhuo, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. To say that she was making a fortune every day was no exaggeration.
Especially the expensive tea sets, they really sold well. It seems that there are still many wealthy people in Yuan'an.
With this silver, Yu Hai's team was ready to set off. Zhou Qiongyue also obtained the exquisite porcelain he needed from the Second Prince.
However, since the goods and banknotes carried by Yu Hai's team were of great value at this time, Zhou Qiongyue asked Yuan Bohua for a reliable person and put him in the team.
Of course, it was a covert operation, not even Yu Hai knew about it. He took advantage of the opportunity to insert it when Yu Hai was recruiting.
With this alternating light and darkness, Zhou Qiongyue finally felt relieved.
Only after the caravan left Yuan'an did Zhou Qiongyue's anxious heart finally relax.
After Yu Hai's caravan left, the second prince began to favor Xie Zixin alone in the backyard.
The Second Prince primarily wanted to know whether the Tianyuan Kingdom and the Shenggan Kingdom could actually fight, and when exactly it would start. It would be even better if he could find out whether they had won.
When the second prince stepped into Xie Zixin's courtyard again, he saw that there was no servant in the room and only an oil lamp was lit.
Xie Zixin also rarely came forward to greet him.
The Second Prince, of course, sensed this strange atmosphere and quickly stepped forward, "Xin'er, what's wrong with you today?"
Xie Zixin sat under the lamp, looking up at the Second Prince in front of her, who was showing concern. She felt a sense of trance in her heart. For a moment, she felt like she was back in her previous life when the two of them were in harmony. "The Emperor is here?"
The second prince was so frightened that he lost all thoughts of romance. He looked around cautiously and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no servants in the room.
The Second Prince, Li Jingchen, looked at Xie Zixin with sharp eyes, "Xie Zixin, what are you crazy about again? Do you want to kill me?"
"Hahahahahaha..." Xie Zixin laughed fearlessly for a while before sitting up straight. "I forgot that you are still just a little prince, and I am just a concubine. And the concubine I hate the most."
Seeing Xie Zixin's crazy look, the Second Prince calmed down. He sat down next to Xie Zixin, his tone full of doting and helplessness, "Tell me, what are you doing?"
Xie Zixin looked at the Second Prince's affectionate gaze, and she almost lost her mind again. However, she managed to calm herself down. Xie Zixin hinted to herself in her heart, 'This is not the husband who doted on her in her previous life. I am just one of his concubines.'
Xie Zixin went straight to her goal, "I want a child!"
This was the time when she was pregnant with her first child in her previous life. She suspected that the Second Prince had tampered with her body, otherwise, with all his favor, she wouldn't have been able to conceive.
