When the Ninth Prince heard what the First Princess Consort said, he was incredulous and his mouth dropped open: "Sister-in-law, are you serious? You trust me with this?"
The Ninth Prince pointed to himself, revealing his surprise, because even his own mother had told him not to act recklessly, and his Eighth Brother had also advised him against it; no one believed him.
This ideal was dismissed as childish nonsense, and one can imagine the frustration the Ninth Prince felt. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and his sister-in-law was willing to believe him.
He Zhuo smiled gently: "Of course, sister-in-law believes in you. I'm not only your sister-in-law, but also your aunt."
Upon hearing the First Princess's humorous words, the Ninth Prince's initial感动 (feeling of being touched) vanished. He rolled his eyes, thinking, "What aunt? She's clearly trying to take advantage of me."
He Zhuo said in a serious tone, "Sister-in-law is providing the shop. Ninth Brother, have you decided what to do with it? Also, Ninth Brother, how much silver do you have?"
The Ninth Prince mentally calculated his own little savings and realized he didn't have much money. He was always generous and couldn't save much money; at most, he had only 500 taels. Feeling a little embarrassed, he smiled awkwardly and touched his crescent-shaped hair.
"Hehe, my brother is a little short on cash, could you help me out a bit, sister-in-law?" But this isn't the first or second time he's been shameless; practice makes perfect, isn't it?
Ninth Prince Yinzhen thought to himself that he would search his Eighth and Tenth Brothers for a while, but they didn't have much.
Looking at Xiao Jiu's appearance, He Zhuo thought he didn't look like a prince at all, but rather like a little rascal with red lips and white teeth. Although he was a rascal, his delicate appearance made it hard to refuse him.
He Zhuo raised an eyebrow: "Alright, how much support do you want? Just name your price. But let's make this clear first, my sister-in-law isn't exactly rich, so don't ask for too much."
You still need to get the vaccinations first.
The Ninth Prince mentally calculated that it would probably take at least two thousand taels of silver in the early stages, so he held up one finger.
“Sister-in-law, how about 1,500 taels? Consider this a loan from your younger brother. I’ll pay you back double when I make some money.”
He Zhuo rested his chin on his hand and pretended to think for a moment, enjoying the Ninth Prince's scratching his head and cheeks for a while, and was secretly delighted.
She agreed: "Okay, I trust you. Now, can you tell me what you plan to do?"
Although Yinzhen had never actually done it, he had considered it: "What did your two shops originally do?"
He Zhuo: "That was rented out to someone else. There were three shops in total. One shop sold snacks and roasted nuts, and another shop was a restaurant. The location was pretty good. It was on Gulou East Street, where there were a lot of people every day."
Yin Tang nodded. He knew that place; there were indeed many people there. However, he needed to see the place in person before he could decide what to do.
"Alright, I'll give you the money. The lease on that place hasn't expired yet; they won't be leaving until May. It's called 'Liu's Restaurant' and 'Liu's Dim Sum Shop.' Ninth Brother, go take a look and decide. There's still plenty of time."
After receiving the money, Yin Tang immediately left Changchun Garden to conduct an on-site inspection.
Seeing his younger brother so enthusiastic, the Eighth Prince could only accompany him. The Tenth Prince was simply happy, thinking that when his Ninth Brother opened a shop in the future, wouldn't he be able to come out and play often?
If He Zhuo heard this, he would spray him in the face.
Kid, you're overthinking it. Have you forgotten who your father is?
You're always going out to play, is your butt ready?
The group didn't return until evening. The Ninth Prince had been very busy these past few days, busy leaving the palace and busy thinking about what to do.
Sure enough, He Zhuo was playing with Xiao Zhenbao in the small garden when they ran into the Ninth Prince again.
