When Mei Xuanqi heard this, he quickly went over all the recent events in his mind, but he really couldn't think of anything special.
Finally, he had no choice but to ask tentatively, "Before Weng Hui and her son were exiled, I went to see them."
After hearing this, Yuan Zhixi said, "Second Master went to see them? We'll talk about this later."
Mr. Mei: ...
Seeing that Mei Xuanqi was completely clueless, Yuan Zhixi asked, "Did Second Master give all his private property to my dowry shop?"
When Mei Xuanqi heard about this, he said, "We're family anyway, so what does it matter?"
Yuan Zhixi saw that the profits of her dowry shop were surprisingly high recently, so she immediately called the shopkeeper and checked the original accounts and incoming and outgoing documents herself.
I found out that if the raw materials were purchased from Mei Xuanqi's shop, the price would be almost inverted. If the goods were purchased from Mei Xuanqi's shop, the selling price would be almost much higher than the market price.
By buying low and selling high, his own shop certainly made amazing profits, but Mei Xuanqi's private shops probably suffered heavy losses.
Yuan Zhixi said, "Second Master, you must run your business well. If you keep doing this, you will make all my shopkeepers, assistants, and accountants dependent on others for food. If your shop loses everything in the future, I'm afraid mine won't be able to survive either.
Please don't do this kind of thing again, Master."
Mei Xuanqi said: "Except for your business, I have done all other businesses well. I made money from other businesses and am willing to lose it in the business with you.
I was hoping that this would make you happy, but if you're not happy, I won't do it."
Yuan Zhixi said, "Second Master is always good at catering to women's preferences and making them happy."
Mei Xuanqi said, "You're putting me in such a difficult position. I don't know how to coax you.
To be honest with you, whether it was Wu Shuangshuang or Weng Hui, they asked me for something, and I just tried my best to do it and gave them whatever I could.
You're the only one I've wanted to give something to, but I don't know how, so I had to come up with this stupid idea."
Yuan Zhixi thought of her mother-in-law's evaluation of the two sons: one was lustful and the other was romantic, and she was afraid that neither of them could bear the burden of the Mei family.
She said, "I want to make a bet with Second Master. With a four-year deadline, whoever has the highest average profit among all the shops we own will win."
Mei Xuanqi said lazily: "If you want to play, I will play with you. What is the bet?"
Yuan Zhixi said, "If you win, I'll start over with you. If you lose, let me go."
Mei Xuanqi said seriously, "Are you serious?"
Yuan Zhixi said: "Seriously, do you dare to bet?"
Mei Xuanqi said, "Okay. But we need to sign a written agreement. If I win, you are not allowed to cheat."
Yuan Zhixi said, "When have I ever cheated?"
Mei Xuanqi looked at her.
She suddenly remembered that after she became pregnant with Yinzhi, they had a period of harmony. At that time, she thought her husband fell in love with her. The past was gone, and people should look forward.
She had also acted like a spoiled child and played tricks on him before, and he had been very kind to her and Yin Zhou at that time. When she lost and played tricks on him, he would always give in.
It wasn't until the day of Sheng Yinzhi's death, when Wu Shuangshuang in her dream got angry and her husband left her and rushed to the cemetery, that she realized how ridiculous she was. Thinking back to all the times she had acted like a spoiled child and acted like a spoiled child, she felt incredibly ashamed and gradually forgot about it. But she didn't expect this person to still remember it.
Mei Xuanqi said, "Those were particularly wonderful times in my memory. Later... I was the one who made the mistake.
If this bet is your willingness to start over with me, I will win no matter what."
Yuan Zhixi suppressed those complicated memories and emotions deep in her heart and said, "Don't forget what my bet is if I win."
"It's a deal."
"It's a deal."
Ye Zhou finally brought out some new people in southern Yunnan and handed over this Yunnan army to the prefect Yun Zhao. After receiving the approval of Emperor Xuanyuan Hao, he was able to return to Kyoto.
He planned to go to Taoyuan Valley to pick up Tang Miao first, and then return to Xiangguo Mansion together.
After the two met, although Tang Miao was delighted, she seemed to be hesitant to speak. Seeing her hesitant, Ye Zhou asked, "Why, have you had someone in the past few years?"
Tang Miao glared at him and finally said, "Ye Qiu has been refusing to talk about marriage. She's been dragging it on until she's almost twenty. I only recently figured out her feelings."
Ye Zhou's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that she likes Xuanyuan Hao?!"
Tang Miao glared at him again, and hesitated again: "Although not, it seems almost the same."
Ye Zhou said anxiously: "Hurry up, who does she like?"
Tang Miao said: "It's the great general guarding the border, He Qing."
Ye Zhou said: "If He Qing works hard, he can be her father!"
Tang Miao glanced at him.
Ye Zhou continued, "He hardly ever stayed in Kyoto. He was always at the border. When did she fall in love with him?"
Tang Miao said, "It was probably when He Qing returned to Beijing to report on her work and drank with you at home that she saw you and fell in love with you. She said she could never like anyone else again."
Ye Zhou said: "You manage the household like this, and you haven't even taken good care of your daughter."
Tang Miao felt aggrieved: "My daughter is more knowledgeable than me, and I have to ask her about things I don't understand. How can I manage it?" Besides, didn't you invite He Qing home for drinks?
But this is not the time to talk about this, so she continued, "When my husband was in southern Yunnan, a while ago, Ye Qiu went to the border to look for He Qing."
"What?!" Ye Zhou asked, "A girl who's not married yet and hasn't been engaged, traveled thousands of miles to find a man? To throw herself into his arms and offer herself to him?"
Tang Miao said: "Why do you say it so harshly? She is your daughter too."
Ye Zhou said, "If others knew about this, that's what they would say. Then what? How long were you gone, and when did you come back?"
