Lu Anyuan was carefully observing her arms and fingers at this moment, and she didn't even notice when Xu Yixing woke up.
"Are you practicing?"
"Huh? Yixing, you're awake. Sleep a little longer!" Lu Anyuan put down his arms, turned sideways, and looked at her gently.
"What the hell are you doing? Hanging your arms so early in the morning? Is this some kind of martial arts secret?"
"Oh! You're talking about this because I suddenly realized that my hand tremors have healed."
"ha?"
"You may not know this, but ever since I pushed you into the well in the palace, my hand has been in trouble. It starts shaking whenever I get nervous. But it seems like it stopped shaking last night."
"Serves you right." Xu Yixing blurted out, and was also carefully recalling the little things they had experienced together before. No wonder Lu Anyuan always liked to put his hands behind his back. It turned out that it was because he was sick.
"Yes, yes. I always thought this might be God's punishment for me. After you forgave me yesterday, I recovered immediately. I have to say that you are my panacea."
Xu Yixing didn't respond. Lu Anyuan developed a hand tremor problem, and his father had given him medicine that made his brain unclear. It could be said that he was a difficult couple.
"Yixing, what do you think of my performance last night?" Lu Anyuan suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered in a very low voice, so soft that Xu Yixing suspected that she had heard it wrongly.
"fine."
"Then, what if I compete with my grandson Youbi?"
"Are you mentally ill?" Xu Yixing was really angry. How could such a private matter be discussed openly? Besides, look at the person he was comparing himself to, huh!
Seeing Xu Yixing was angry, Lu Anyuan put on a smile and quietly moved inside without saying anything. But after a while, he suddenly heard Xu Yixing say something.
"His skills are much better than yours. He has Gao Yao to practice with all the time, and you are too unfamiliar with it." Xu Yixing said this with great hatred. If you dare to poke my sore spot, I will say that you are not as good as other men and make you mad to death!
Besides, Xu Yixing was not wrong. Lu Anyuan was in good condition, but he didn't know how to be gentle with women and just used brute force. Now that he woke up, he still felt pain in his body.
"Huh?" Is that so? But he really couldn't blame himself for this. His only experience came from the instruction manual given by the pre-marital induction nanny, and some of the movements there were too embarrassing for him to do.
"Then let's practice more in the future."
"Hey? You're quite good at arranging things for me!" Xu Yixing turned over and ignored him.
The early morning time is always short. By the time the two of them finished cleaning up and washing up, it was almost noon.
Siqin, Sihua and two other maids from the prince's mansion were there, serving breakfast to the two of them.
Today's breakfast was simple: a sesame pancake, a round platter of eight side dishes, and a bowl of wonton soup. Xu Yixing actually liked this way of eating; her motto was to try a little of everything.
"Any plans for today?"
"No, according to the rules, we will go to the palace to pay our respects tomorrow, return home the day after tomorrow, and have a thank-you banquet the day after that. Then the marriage will be completed."
"Oh! That's great." Xu Yixing, wearing a red middle-length dress and painted eyebrows and hair, really looked like a newlywed. "Then we have no parents or elders at home, so how do we arrange the daily morning and evening visits?"
"It's all up to you. Now that you're the mistress of our house, you naturally have the final say. If you don't have regular morning and evening visits, then let the maids pay their respects to you every morning and evening. What do you think?"
"Forget it. I only have so much time in the day, and I'd like to sleep in a little longer. It's just fine without it. I'm happy and at ease."
Xu Yixing glanced at the two nameless girls, who immediately came forward to pay their respects.
"Greetings, Princess. Your servants Xiao Shi and Xiao She pay their respects to you."
Alms? What a strange name...
"Get up, no need to be polite."
Lu Anyuan also came forward at this time, carrying a box as high as his calf, and no one knew where he got it from. He walked to the dressing mirror, moved a stool and sat down.
"Madam, this is my private money. I'll give it to you for safekeeping from now on. I was going to give it to you last night, but I forgot."
Xu Yixing turned around and looked at the box in surprise. It was full of money? How much must it be?
After opening the box, she was relieved to see that it was not all money.
The box is divided into two layers, like two large drawers. The first layer is cluttered with a lot of gold and silver jewelry, jade snuff bottles and other things. It is very messy, and a lot of gold has tiny cracks due to friction.
When the second layer was opened, it was found to be filled with land deeds, house deeds, business deeds, and banknotes, all piled together in a mess and unable to be distinguished.
Xu Yixing casually took out a handful of paper and squeezed it in disbelief: "Didn't you say you didn't have any business near Kyoto? Are these all?"
"These are all my properties in Qinan, not in Jingdu."
Xu Yixing took a quick look and saw a grain store, a firewood store, a cloth store, a clothing store, a jewelry store,
There are gambling houses, brothels, restaurants, fruit shops, as well as commercial banks and money houses.
If it were on this scale, the people of Qinan would be dealing with their big master as soon as they opened their eyes every day.
Who said Lu Anyuan was poor!
"This...you, who is taking care of this for you?"
Lu Anyuan smiled knowingly and whispered, "Do you know who is the best merchant in Daxia?"
Xu Yixing quickly went through the list in his mind. Speaking of famous trading companies, there were quite a few in the Great Xia Dynasty, but when it came to saying which gentleman was the best, Xu Yixing couldn't name one.
"have no idea."
"It's my fifth brother."
"Oh!" Xu Yixing had forgotten that there was already someone who was extremely skilled in business, so there was no need to look far for help. "How dare you let the Fifth Prince help you with this? Aren't you afraid that if His Majesty finds out, he'll punish you too?"
"Who else but me can fulfill his wish? His retainers would burn his account books the moment they see them. How could he not cherish this rare opportunity to put his knowledge into practice?
Besides, Fifth Brother's fief is near Kyoto, but it's a tiny place. With just that little money, he'll be left with nothing. I'm also giving him money, so how can he not be happy? "
"So when did you start doing this...oh, not buying and selling?"
"When I was twelve, I opened my own residence. My father also bestowed upon me the title of Qinan. I then asked my fifth brother to help manage it, and it has been going on ever since."
Eight years ago? The Fifth Prince was also very young eight years ago. It's hard to imagine a child asking another child to help manage such a large industry. This world is really absurd.
