Chapter 38 Waiting for him to come back to see her
Although Ye Yunchu thought so, he was unable to go back and capture the person smoothly. He was temporarily called away to do something for the prince.
Inside the Marquis’ Mansion.
Li Runrun hadn't figured out how to tell Ye Qiaoqiao that she couldn't do it. Not only did she fail, she also offended the prince.
But before she could go, Ye Qiaoqiao dragged her into Mingyue Residence. Seeing Ye Qiaoqiao's joyful look, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What's so good that you're so happy?"
Aunt Zhang, who was walking around reading a storybook, came out upon hearing this, her eyes never leaving the storybook as she said hurriedly, "Isn't it a happy event?"
Li Ruanruan became even more curious: "What is it?"
Ye Qiaoqiao said happily, "This is fantastic news! You're amazing, Ruanruan! Big Brother sent a nanny over. When the nanny came into the shop, she didn't say anything, just saying she was sent by the prince to check the accounts. The shopkeeper was so scared that he confessed everything."
Ye Qiaoqiao happily circled around Li Ruanruan, "Now we don't have to fill the hole anymore, and we have an extra three hundred taels of silver to use. Ruanruan, you're really amazing! How did you explain this to big brother? Why is he so kind? I guess he values you very much! The nanny even asked the shopkeeper why he was so mean to you! It was just big brother's order."
Ye Qiaoqiao hugged Li Ruanruan and said, "Now we can open our shop smoothly."
Li Runrun didn't expect things to take such a dramatic turn. Thinking of the prince's beating and attitude last night, she was so scared that she didn't dare to sleep for half the night.
Who knew that the prince would send someone there the next day?
Li Runrun couldn't believe that the prince would be so easy to talk to, so she sent someone to help them solve the problem.
She really didn't know what Ye Yunchu was thinking. But she could never figure him out.
If the prince's thoughts were so easy to guess, he wouldn't have sent a nanny to scare the shopkeeper like this.
I guess he has a bad reputation.
In the afternoon, we discussed with Ye Qiaoqiao how to renovate the shop, and we made an appointment to go to the shop tomorrow to plan it carefully.
The shopkeeper and his subordinates were all dealt with by the nanny beside the prince with thundering means, and new people were arranged to work in the shop.
I guess they are all obedient.
Li Ruanruan suggested, "We still need to replace them with our own people. If we have capable people around us, we can start training them. If we don't have any, we can buy a few from human traffickers. After all, they are our own people, so we can feel at ease when doing things. If we train people who can manage and lead others, it will save us a lot of trouble in the future."
After a pause, Li Ruanruan continued, "To run a shop well, you first need a smart manager. Secondly, your employees must all be smart and knowledgeable about the ways of the world, and your embroiderers must also be skillful. Service and marketing are both essential."
She explained it in detail again.
Aunt Zhang nodded: "That's right, Ruanruan is very thoughtful."
Ye Qiaoqiao held her face up and said, "It turns out that doing business is not just about opening a shop. There is so much knowledge involved."
Aunt Zhang hit her with the book: "You think it's easy."
Li Ruanruan looked at the title on the book cover: "The Heartless Prince's Concubine?"
Is this the book that the prince read last night?
Aunt Zhang covered her mouth and laughed: "Ruanruan also knows this storybook. It is the most popular storybook in Beijing now. It is hard to find a copy."
Li Runrun took it and flipped through it. It was indeed the book that the prince had in his hand last night.
She nodded: "It is indeed fire."
The angry prince has started reading idle books.
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Then I'll lend it to you. There are some tricks in it you can learn. The author of this book is obviously not a simple person. Although the plot may seem cliché, it contains a lot of knowledge about how to deal with people. If you are not from a noble family, you can't write such a storybook. It's so popular that it's hard to find a copy. It has its own merits."
Li Ruanruan was half-believing and half-doubting, so she took it and said, "Then I must take a good look at it."
Aunt Zhang waved her hand: "Take it."
He sighed again, "It's just that the ending wasn't very good. It makes me sad when I think about it."
Aunt Zhang wiped away her tears.
Li Ruanruan asked curiously, "What's the ending?"
"The Crown Prince married the daughter of a prominent family, and his concubine was executed by his wife. To preserve the dignity of both families, the Crown Prince did not pursue the matter. When he doted on her, he loved her with all his heart. When he didn't, he just rolled her up like a straw mat and threw her into a mass grave. Since ancient times, men have been known to be heartless..."
Aunt Zhang's eyes were red when she talked about it.
Li Ruanruan, however, held up the storybook and said, "Actually, we can have a second part."
Aunt Zhang and Ye Qiaoqiao both looked at Li Runrun.
Li Runrun said, "The second part is about the little Tongfang who didn't die, but lost her memory and was found by her biological parents. It turns out that the little Tongfang's true identity is a princess of the current dynasty, and she has nine older brothers. From then on, she lived a life of great pampering. However, at a palace banquet, she met the prince, who was already a marquis at the time, and his wife. The prince's eyes immediately turned red. He grabbed the little Tongfang's hand and said that he had been blaming himself and regretting all the days since the little Tongfang's death..."
Li Ruanruan was embarrassed: "Let's stop here for now. It's getting late. I have to go back to cook."
When it comes to storybooks, it was the later generations that saw the flourishing of novels...
Li Ruanruan has already walked away.
Aunt Zhang was still caught up in the story, and after a while she finally started to get anxious and wanted to know what was going on. "Good girl, don't leave. Tell me what's going on. If you publish a book, I'll definitely buy it."
Ye Qiaoqiao swallowed her saliva. It turned out that Ruanruan actually had the brains to write a storybook.
You can consider asking her to write a second part, which may bring in considerable profits.
Ye Qiaoqiao's mind became active.
Li Runrun went back to cook and drew the curtains at night. She thought of what Ye Qiaoqiao said about Ye Yunchu sending a nanny to deal with the shop issue.
She was still quite grateful to him in her heart, thinking that although the prince had never given her any reward or an ear room to live in.
He also stole her money, causing her to owe him a large sum of money...
But if she were to ask herself, the prince treated her well.
Li Runrun was grateful, thinking that if it weren't for the prince's clothes, she wouldn't be able to make any money.
She wanted to thank Ye Yunchu properly, but she had nothing to offer as a thank you.
The only thing she could do was Suzhou embroidery, which was expensive and hard to come by these days. If she embroidered more for him, she believed that he would be able to present it as a gift to others or as a reward for himself.
I just need some money to buy a piece of good cloth.
Li Runrun was moved and decided to go to the cloth shop tomorrow to take a look.
She fell asleep with a happy heart.
It was still a long time before daybreak, but my brother was already up.
Li Ruanruan opened the curtain and said, "Mu Tou, why are you up so early?"
Li Mutou scratched his head embarrassedly: "Sister, did I disturb your sleep?"
"No, why are you up so early?"
Li Ruanruan asked again.
Li Mutoucai said, "The prince has just received a horse from the stables, a gift from the emperor. The steward said the horse is very delicate and wants fresh, dewy hay; dry hay won't eat it. So, the steward sent me to the farm early this morning to get hay, saying I can't be negligent."
