Chapter 732: Joyful Expression
Song Chuhuai smiled and said, "Sister, business seems to be pretty good today. Was our trial operation a success?"
Song Chuman calmly shook her head: "It's not a success yet. We've only been selling for less than an hour. We won't know until closing time."
Of course it succeeded.
Her shop is not big, and there are about forty or fifty customers inside. For the merchants here, business is booming.
But in order to prevent Song Chuhuai from being too proud, she could only pour some cold water on him temporarily.
Song Chuhuai thought about it and felt that the total revenue would only be known after closing the store. He looked at the door with a frown, hoping that there wouldn't be too few customers coming in.
Seeing this, Song Xiaoxuan also looked at the door nervously.
When a person came in through the door, their eyes brightened a little.
If no one came in, the two would frown and mutter, "Someone come quickly, someone come quickly."
He was able to show his joy on his face.
Song Chuman was trying to suppress her laughter in her heart. In order to avoid being discovered by the two of them, she could only turn around and go on patrol.
Song Hexiu looked at the children and sighed helplessly.
Aman is so mature and sensible.
But just after Song Chuman took a few steps, she suddenly walked quickly to the door, then came in and said a few words to her family.
Song Hexiu was shocked when he heard this and immediately took his men out the door.
Seeing a carriage not far away and the driver asking them to get in, they had no choice but to get in as well.
"Prince, Princess, Princess, Third Young Master."
That’s right, the people in the carriage were from Prince Gongxuan’s palace.
At this time, the people in the palace saw Song Hexiu's appearance, and the more they looked, the more they felt that he was their son (brother).
King Gongxuan gestured for them to sit down and said with a smile, "Dalang, congratulations! The shop has opened successfully."
Song Hexiu was stunned. Why did the address change again?
Shen Hanrui nodded silently. Her eldest brother used to be the eldest in the family and was also called Shen Dalang.
It is normal for my father to call Song Hexiu Dalang.
Song Hexiu's expression quickly returned to normal, "Thank you, Your Highness."
The princess said, "We just watched for a while at the door. Your business is pretty good today. The income should be considerable."
Song Hexiu looked at Song Chuman with a smile, "Thanks to Ah Man, after she bought the beach, it seems that the beach has also been blessed by the Sea Goddess. I found a lot of good things yesterday."
The princess smiled and said, "Yes, Aman is the child favored by the Sea Goddess."
Song Chuman didn't say anything, just smiled shyly.
"Oh, right." Prince Gongxuan coughed lightly. "Dalang, we're here today not only to congratulate you on the opening of your shop, but also to inform you of something important. Tomorrow, the people of the Song family will be going to Qingyu Village to do hard labor, and they'll be accompanied by dozens of prisoners."
"The roads from Qingyu Village to the capital city and the roads to nearby villages are not very good either. Therefore, the court intends to have them all repair the roads. During the time they are repairing the roads, Qingyu Village will probably be bustling with activity every day."
Song Chuman asked, "There are only a few dozen prisoners. Are they enough to build the road?"
In the year 2060 in my previous life, to build a road, hundreds or even thousands of people would work at the same time.
Some roads even have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people working on them.
King Gongxuan said, "Of course it's not enough. Therefore, starting tomorrow, officers and soldiers will go to each village to inform the villagers to perform labor service."
Song Chuman frowned and asked curiously, "What are the rules for this corvée service?"
