When Jiang Ranli returned to the Ninth Prince's Mansion in the evening, he still couldn't calm down. He sat cross-legged on the chaise longue, his hands on his chin, frowning and silent.
As soon as Sixian and Sidai came back, they went to the big kitchen in the mansion. It had been a day, so they had to show up outside to avoid arousing suspicion.
"Miss".
The two of them came back from outside with food, and seeing Jiang Ranli still standing still in the same position as before, they called her softly.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ranli only then realized that it was dark when he heard the voice, and his hands and feet were extremely stiff.
"Miss, I heard from people in the mansion that the day after tomorrow is the Concubine's birthday. The Ninth Master has ordered us to celebrate her birthday in the mansion."
Fu Jin’s birthday is the day after tomorrow?
Jiang Ranli blinked her eyes. She knew what Sixian and Sidai were going to say without them saying anything else. They must be asking what birthday gift to give to Fu Jin.
"Is there anything suitable among my jewelry?"
Sixian and Sidai looked at each other after hearing this, and after hesitating for a while, they said, "Miss, Madam Liu..."
Although they started to speak, Sixian and Sidai could only say a few words before they could not continue.
Jiang Ranli sighed helplessly. Her mother in this life died very early. Although her father did not remarry, the backyard could not be left unattended. Concubine Liu was in charge of the backyard and was determined to establish her as the legitimate wife. Therefore, she regarded Jiang Ranli, the only legitimate daughter in the mansion, as a thorn in her side and was very harsh on her on weekdays. Even if she wanted to marry the Ninth Prince as a concubine, her dowry would not be very generous.
As for the jewelry, except for the phoenix coronet and bridal bridal gown she wore at her wedding, she did not add any new jewelry to her daily wear. The only jewelry she had were from the original owner and were now half-worn.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ranli couldn't help but feel a headache. She needed money recently, but it happened to be the birthday of Concubine Dong E.
She had just entered the Ninth Prince's Mansion. Although she didn't want to stay here for the rest of her life, she couldn't offend the Lady, otherwise how could she live a good life in the future?
"Tomorrow we will go out to prepare gifts for Fu Jin."
Since I don’t have anything suitable, I have no choice but to buy it. Although it hurts to spend money, I have to spend it.
Sixian and Sidai had no objection to preparing gifts for the concubine, but when they thought about running into the princes every time they went out, their faces fell.
Seeing the bitter expressions on their little faces, Jiang Ranli couldn't help laughing. Her luck was a bit too good, but the reactions of these two little girls were too funny.
"You guys go out and prepare tomorrow, I won't go."
The next morning, Sixian and Sidai went out early to prepare a gift for Fu Jin.
Jiang Ranli sat in the yard thinking about the shop. After tossing and turning all night, she felt that since Yinzhen had promised to keep the secret for her, he would not go back on his word. After all, he was going to be the emperor in the future and it was impossible for him to go back on his word.
So now she is no longer worried about whether Yinzhen will leak the secret, but is thinking about how to decorate the shop and what items to sell.
As the saying goes, man is iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will feel hungry. Moreover, food has been the most important thing for people since ancient times. It can be seen how important food is to people. Therefore, Jiang Ranli wanted to open a snack bar.
By the Qing Dynasty, various foods had been introduced into the Central Plains. Although not as diverse as today, it did not have much impact.
Jiang Ranli is a modern person after all. She believes that with her intelligence and various modern delicacies, she will conquer the stomachs of the Qing people and make money.
