"The eldest son of the Prime Minister's family told me. By the way, you will have a very strong competitor." Shangguan Ziqi said with a smile.
"Who?" Yu Qingsheng suddenly became interested.
He entered the Imperial College late, and to have reached this stage was quite rapid progress.
"Zhao Jinyu, the emperor asked him to be a reference, and then you will be the first one. You must be mentally prepared. He has learned the true teachings of the prime minister."
At that time, Prime Minister Zhao was the top scorer in the imperial examination, entered the Hanlin Academy, and then worked his way up to the position of Prime Minister Tian.
Of course, it is also inseparable from the fact that he is loyal to the emperor and does not form cliques for personal gain.
The emperor likes such loyal ministers the most.
"Oh, is he going to enter the Imperial College?"
“I don’t know about that.”
"Don't worry, brother-in-law. There is still more than a year left. I have Master Jin as my mentor, and I am not inferior to him. Besides, there are so many people from all over the country going to Beijing to take the exam. There are so many talented people, and he is the only opponent. We will each do our best when the time comes."
Yu Qingsheng is very confident and even more motivated.
His conditions are countless times better than his father's back then. His father even ranked eleventh in the exam. If he is not even as good as his father, then he would be really sorry for the good conditions that his eldest sister had fought for him.
"Well, my brother-in-law has high hopes for you. Also, you can't just focus on studying, your health is also important. You must take the horseback archery classes arranged by the Imperial College seriously."
"Yes, brother, I remember it."
The three little ones actually nestled in the two people's arms obediently and listened carefully to what the adults said.
Yu Yuanzheng was very pleased with the performance of her three children.
"Sister, how about you?" Yu Yuanzheng asked. She hadn't known about her sister's situation for a long time.
"Don't worry, big sister. The Eighth Princess is a very nice person. She just asked several times when you can continue teaching her to play the piano. She likes the songs you taught her very much."
"Oh, I've already returned to Beijing, so I probably won't be going anywhere else. Tell her that she can come to learn piano from me soon."
The family chatted for a while, and Yu Yueyin went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Children without elders around really grow up fast.
I didn't expect that my sister, who is only thirteen years old, can already manage the household.
"Don't underestimate my third sister, eldest sister. She is in charge of all the family affairs now, including arranging my food and daily necessities." Yu Qingsheng explained.
When he saw his eldest sister's surprised expression, he knew what she was thinking.
"My sister is growing up, and she will definitely be a good housekeeper in the future. Unlike me, I only know how to enjoy myself." Yu Yuanzheng expressed her feelings.
"You will be busy in the future. Mother feels sorry for you having to take care of three children. Once the children go to school, mother will definitely let you take over." Shangguan Ziqi said with a smile.
"No, I still like to live a comfortable life." Yu Yuanzheng didn't want to be bound so early.
"Then talk to Mother. See what her attitude is."
The family spent the day happily and did not leave until it was almost dark.
The three little ones had the most fun with their uncle.
It was unexpected that a little scholar would amuse children.
Just play all kinds of children's games with them in the yard.
I asked my younger brother where he learned these little games. It turned out that the kids from the neighborhood often played them in the alley outside and he learned them.
Ordinary families still have more joy. Even the games their children play are different from those of the children of nobles.
They can go out and play with the neighborhood kids anytime.
Children from noble families usually played in the mansion, and would only be taken to other houses to play with other children when there were gatherings.
It seems that she should take the children out to experience life more often, and not keep them locked up at home all the time.
Time passed little by little, and it was already October.
The weather is getting colder and there are signs of snow.
Several children were dressed warmly.
Over the past two years, Yu Yuanzheng and his wife have opened many medicine shops. Now it is the end of the year, and the accounts from various places have been remitted to the capital.
Shangguan Ziqi knew that his wife was good at accounting, so he moved some of the accounts to the inner courtyard and asked his wife to help with the accounting.
He arranged other things.
The chief manager He Yuan and Liu Mingde have already returned to Beijing.
The two of them, one male and one female, cooperated very well.
He opened shops, looked for drug dealers, and started workshops along the way and was extremely busy.
It was almost the New Year when the two of them came back.
He reported to Xiangguan Ziqi on their work in various places in the Wei Dynasty over the past year.
They all kept in touch with Shangguan Ziqi through correspondence.
Yu Yuanzheng was counting the accounts in the room where the children were building blocks. While the children were playing, she was counting the accounts on a small table in the corner.
It is so much fun having three kids together. Unless there is a conflict, they usually don't need to look for their mother all the time and they can have fun by themselves.
This is the advantage of having many children: they can serve as companions to each other.
Yu Yuanzheng became more and more happy as he settled the accounts.
My husband has really talented people. If she were to do such a big business alone, it would be impossible.
She had nothing, including connections, talent, resources, and favors. She couldn't accomplish anything.
Therefore, starting a business also requires a solid foundation. With the identity of the eldest son or wife of a royal family, it will be much easier for the people below to do things.
Once it was said that he was from the royal palace, and with the mysterious reputation of a miracle doctor, naturally there would be many merchants willing to cooperate with him, and it would also be easy to find people to work in the shop.
When she added up all the accounts and saw the number, she felt so happy.
There are a total of sixty-eight shops, and the revenue from these shops alone reached three hundred thousand taels.
In addition, there was the money for supplying medicine to the army and the huge sum of money they received from the Kingdom of Southern Shu.
It has only been two and a half years since she opened her first shop, and they have made a full one million taels of silver.
At this speed, at this rate, she would probably have sweet dreams tonight.
I can afford to raise a few more children.
You will only earn more in the future.
Just thinking about it makes me want to dance with excitement.
"Zi Yue, Jiang Hua, tell the kitchen that I want to eat hotpot tonight." When you are happy, just satisfy yourself with food.
"Yes, ma'am."
"We will eat in the main courtyard with Queen Mother 㫅."
"Yes, ma'am."
There were two maids, one who worked in the main courtyard and spoke to the princess, and the other who worked in the kitchen and spoke to the steward.
The palace is not like before, with three houses. Now it is just the eldest house. If they want to cook something, they don't have to consider other people.
Whenever she wants, she can.
Yu Chaoyang and Cao Nanhua lived their lives as invisible people, waiting for Shangguan Zishu to come back.
Yinling was pregnant, and Yu Chaoyang took good care of her, waiting for her to give birth to the child so that he could raise it with him.
When the princess heard that her daughter-in-law wanted to eat hotpot, she was very enthusiastic and passed the message to the two sons in the outer courtyard, asking them to return to the main courtyard as soon as possible.
The four children's meals are prepared separately.
At the beginning of the afternoon, the two men returned from the outer courtyard.
Yu Yuanzheng had already arrived at the main courtyard with her three children.
The little princess Shangguan Mengyao likes her sister-in-law very much. As soon as she sees Yu Yuanzheng, she runs over and asks for a hug.
She is the youngest, and Dabao and Xiaobao don’t like to play with her very much, but my sister-in-law likes to play with her.
There are now several hot pot restaurants throughout the capital, all opened by the eldest prince’s wife.
This food is not uncommon.
Yu Yuanzheng only gave a direction, and the chefs were able to play freely, and hot pots of various flavors came into being.
The prince and his son strode in and saw a large iron pot on the main table, with steam rising from it and a fragrant aroma wafting in the air.
"Haha, my dear is in for a treat. Princess, you should have prepared this food a long time ago. It's already the beginning of the twelfth lunar month."
It seems that the prince is also a foodie.
"King, how about we have a drink?" Shangguan Ziqi suggested.
"Okay, Princess and Yuan Zheng should drink together, so that we can have some fun together."
Eating hotpot is a joy.
Halfway through the meal, the prince put down his chopsticks.
"Ziqi, when did you take over the Crown Prince's Seal?"
