"Mom, I won't get married. I just returned home not long ago and I want to spend more time with you." County Lady Xiangling shyly twisted the handkerchief in her hand.
"Oh, it's my fault. I didn't take good care of you when you were little, and you have suffered so much.
Fortunately, a miracle doctor came from Beijing and cured you, otherwise I would never be able to rest in peace for the rest of my life.
Other people's daughters have children at the age of 18. But you haven't even decided on a marriage yet.
Don't worry, I will definitely choose a handsome man who satisfies you as your husband." Hui Ning Changzhu promised.
"Mother..." County Lady Xiangling was so moved that she threw herself into her mother's arms.
She remembered four words: to make you satisfied.
If she is not satisfied, she won't nod.
When we returned to the palace, it was almost dark.
Shangguan Ziqi and his wife saw the daily business account of Shiritang.
Yu Yuanzheng couldn't wait to flip through it.
"Wow, I didn't expect the purchasing power of the people in the capital is so strong. The price of pills is high, and it is more expensive than boiling herbs, but I didn't expect that so many could be sold. A full 1,100 taels."
Yu Yuanzheng was amazed.
With this sales rate, the monthly turnover would be at least 30,000 taels, and after deducting the expenses, there would be at least 10,000 taels of profit.
It’s so beautiful just thinking about it.
"Because it's the first day of opening, people feel it's new, and our medicine is really useful, plus there are discounts on the first day. After a few days, the situation will stabilize," Shangguan Ziqi explained.
"Oh, then at least 20,000 taels can be sold in a month, right?"
"It should be possible."
Yu Yuanzheng continued watching.
"Children's medicines and several beauty medicines are selling so well. We will make more of this kind of medicine in the future." Yu Yuanzheng saw the signs.
One day will tell you what sells well.
"Okay, when we make some money, we'll open a few more shops, and I'll help you open the Shi Ri Tang all over Wei."
"No, I'll go to other countries. I want to make all the money in the world." Yu Yuanzheng is "ambitious".
"Okay." Shangguan Ziqi saw his energetic wife, and with a tender and silent look, he kept his wife in his eyes and deep in his heart.
"When are we going out?" Yu Yuanzheng thought about his and the eldest prince's legs. It would be better to get treatment early. Once her belly gets bigger, it will be difficult to operate. She would have to wait until she gives birth to the child.
"Let's talk to Father and Mother early in the morning."
The next day, the couple went to pay their respects.
The sun was already high in the sky.
Ever since Yu Yuanzheng became pregnant, the princess didn't allow her to go early, and she could go whenever she wanted every day.
As soon as I entered the main courtyard, I heard voices in the hall.
"Meet the mother, meet the aunt."
"Ziqi, how can you let Zheng'er push the wheelchair? She is pregnant." When the princess saw that it was her daughter-in-law who was pushing the wheelchair, she immediately scolded her son.
"Mother, it's okay to use a little bit of strength. Your daughter-in-law just needs to exercise more so that she can be healthy and have children in the future." Yu Yuanzheng defended Shangguan Ziqi.
"Child, you have so many excuses. No matter what you do, you must be careful and don't let your mother worry."
"Yes, mother."
"Princess sister-in-law, you really love your daughter-in-law. Alas, my Zifeng is not young anymore, and he still hasn't found a marriage. Sister-in-law, please help me with what my sister-in-law just asked." Madam Miao Luoying begged pitifully.
"My dear sister-in-law, the daughter of the chief priest is good, but she may not like Zifeng.
Everyone in the capital knew about it before.
The concubine does not want to lose face, so you'd better ask a matchmaker to test the waters first.
Or you can find a lady who has a good relationship with the wife of the chief priest to help you investigate."
The princess didn't want to take on such a thankless job.
"Aunt has taken a fancy to the daughter of Lord Jijiu?" After hearing this, Yu Yuanzheng knew how to respond.
"Yes, so I came to ask your mother to be a matchmaker. But your mother doesn't agree. Ziqi, please help my aunt persuade your mother." Madam Zi now turned to ask Yu Yuanzheng for help.
"Husband, how has cousin Zifeng performed in the military camp recently? Have you heard from father about it?" Yu Yuanzheng actually felt very sympathetic towards Madam.
Marrying a man like that would make her suffer for the rest of her life, and she couldn't resist. Her family was not prominent, so it didn't give her the confidence.
My son is not very ambitious and I can't control him.
With a father like that, it would be hard for his son not to learn bad things.
If it weren't for the prince keeping them in check, they would probably be even more lawless.
"What do you want to ask father?" Just then, the prince came in from the gate and heard Yu Yuanzheng mentioned him.
"Meet the king, father. Previously, the king sent cousin Zifeng to the military camp. I wonder how he performed. I am just asking casually."
Yu Yuanzheng was not a vicious person. She had ruined Shangguan Zifeng's marriage before. If he changed his ways, she might as well help him. She mainly thought that her aunt was a pitiful woman.
"According to his superiors, he's okay. He can't even leave the barracks and has no chance to have fun, but he does participate in training seriously every day." The prince told everyone what he knew.
Mrs. 㟧 was very happy to hear this. As a mother, she felt safe because her son was making progress.
"Aunt, you don't need to ask my mother to come forward, just find a matchmaker and try.
The Jijiu family also has some shameful things to do, so it is probably difficult for the girls in their family to get married.
If cousin Zifeng is determined to make progress in the future, marrying a girl from his family would be a good match." Yu Yuanzheng said truthfully.
"Oh? Is there something shameful going on in their family? Why haven't I heard about it?" Mrs. Yu was a little confused.
"Cough cough..." The princess suddenly fake coughed.
It is not appropriate for a daughter-in-law to say that kind of thing.
"Does the princess know?" Madam Yu saw it immediately.
"The eldest son of Lord Jijiu had an unclean disease before, but he was cured. Almost all the upper-class families in Beijing know about this, so his daughter's engagement was broken off because of this." The prince told the news on behalf of the princess.
Mrs. O’s social circle is small, so she doesn’t know about this.
"What?" Madam was surprised.
With a brother like this, I wonder if the sister is a good person?
"I have seen that girl before. She is a smart one, but her mother has been ill for many years and has not taken good care of her son. The one who is in charge of the household expenses in the Jijiu family is one of Jijiu's concubines, which led to this result. But I guess the child has suffered such a big loss, she should have come to her senses." The princess told the situation of Jijiu's family with sympathy.
Yu Yuanzheng was actually very upset. It was really strange that the Lord Jijiu, an educator, educated his own son like this.
What Yu Yuanzheng didn’t know was that their family had a grandmother who doted on her grandson.
No, you won't be able to raise a grandson who can eat both meat and vegetables.
Madam 㟧 also heard that the girl was a good person. Besides, the royal palace was marrying a wife, not a daughter, so it didn't really matter what the girl's brother was like.
After getting what she wanted, Madam said goodbye and left.
Shangguan Ziqi and his wife just mentioned that they were going to leave the house and go to the farm to recuperate.
"Why do you have to go so far? Mother won't be able to see you every day." The princess was reluctant to let them leave the palace.
Shangguan Ziqi sent all the servants outside.
Only then did he reveal his true purpose.
After hearing this, the prince thought deeply for a while before giving his answer.
