Yang Rui knew in his heart how he got this promotion, so he was very grateful to Li Mai and Zhou Quan, and even gave Li Mai all the things that the emperor had bestowed upon him.
However, the wheat was not harvested.
“These are things only people of status can use. I’m just an ordinary citizen. I don’t need them. They’ll just end up being stored away.”
Hearing Li Mai's words, Yang Rui fell silent and did not send the gifts.
When the fisherwoman told him that Li Mai's life goal was to do business, he later sent people to buy a shop in the capital and major towns in the north and gave it to Li Mai.
Of course, these things were given to Li Mai later. This time, he didn't remember to do so many things. Li Mai and Zhou Quan had already decided to leave the capital.
It's already December, and they need to hurry home to celebrate the New Year with their families.
The Nan siblings were also going to travel with them back to Qingshi Town for the New Year, but Li Mai persuaded them to stay in the capital for the New Year. After all, the Nan family had just been established, and perhaps someone from the Nan family would come looking for them during the New Year.
Nanling thought about it and agreed.
The fact that her matter was resolved so smoothly this time was largely due to the help she received from Li Mai and Zhou Quan.
Nan Ling never expected that Li Mai, who had only arrived in the capital seven or eight days earlier than her, would be able to carve out her own niche and make a bunch of powerful, influential, and loyal friends.
This time, when she went to the Jingzhao Prefecture to file a complaint, it was because Lord Zhong helped Li Mai out of consideration for the fact that Li Mai was his son's teacher.
The evidence she had regarding the Chen family was only accepted by Yang Rui because he trusted Li Mai. He then went back and persuaded his maternal grandfather to go to the palace to inform the emperor about the Chen family.
Nan Ling thought about it several times. Without Li Mai, she would not have been able to avenge her family's great grudge, her parents would not have been able to break free from the Chen family, and her Nan family would not have been able to regain its footing in the capital.
Nanling put some thought into how to repay Li Mai and Zhou Quan. After much deliberation, she decided to increase the share of profits that Jin Yu Ge gave to Li Mai to 50%.
From now on, 50% of the total monthly revenue of Jinyuge across the country will be given to Limai.
Nanling told Li Mai about this the night before Li Mai left the capital.
Li Mai declined, but Nan Ling said that if she didn't agree, she really couldn't think of a way to thank the couple.
After thinking about it, Li Mai agreed. She also said that she could draw any designs for the jewelry that came to mind for Jin Yu Ge, and she could give them to her when they were finished. She would no longer be limited to three designs a month. After all, she was taking half of the profits, so she had to work hard.
Nanling was naturally pleased to hear this.
The two of them set new rules, and everyone was happy.
Of course, in the past few days, Nanling gave Li Maisong a lot of jewelry, several boxes of it, all of which were old styles that were left over from the sales in the capital, for her to give away when she got back.
She prepared a set of all the designs that Li Mai had created for her, so that she could wear them with her clothes.
In short, from then on, Li Mai achieved jewelry freedom, which was like opening her own jewelry shop, and she no longer lacked jewelry to wear.
