Ji Yunxi said calmly, "Business."
Wu Weian: "What business?"
Ji Yunxi glanced at him and asked, "Do you want to know?"
Wu Wei'an was very honest: "I do."
Half an hour later, Ji Yunxi took Wu Weian and left the Wu family and came to a shop not far from Taizhuang.
The main door of the shop was closed, so Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian entered through the back door.
As soon as you enter the back door, you will see a courtyard filled with dye vats and cloth drying on the side.
Nearly a hundred female workers were walking around the courtyard, busy and bustling. When they saw Ji Yunxi coming, they would respectfully call out, "Third Miss."
Ji Yunxi nodded and continued to move forward with Wu Weian. They passed through several spacious rooms, where embroiderers were working and laughing and joking.
Further ahead is the store whose door is now closed.
The store has three floors, and the cabinets on the first floor are already filled with cloth, each of which is brightly colored and made of exquisite fabrics.
The second and third floors were filled with newly made clothes, but the second floor contained men's clothes, while the third floor contained women's clothes.
Each piece exudes luxury and exquisiteness.
Wu Weian watched quietly.
It turned out that this was the new business his wife wanted to start.
He couldn't help but think of his small shop in Pingjiang, which also sold clothes, but business was terrible.
The clothes that were put up for sale had been there for years and still hadn't been sold. The shop assistants were too lazy to even shake off the dust.
But it doesn't matter. His small shop mainly sews black masks and black night clothes for the brothers.
It's obvious that Ji Yunxi has invested a lot of money in this store.
Wu Weian lowered his head: "Have you been busy with these things for the past month?"
Ji Yunxi nodded: "Yes, in addition to this family, there are three more, located in the four directions of east, south, west and north."
Wu Wei'an thought for a moment and asked, "You've invested quite a bit, haven't you?"
Ji Yunxi hummed, "Adding up everything, the four stores will cost about 40,000 to 50,000 taels."
Wu Weian clicked his tongue softly.
His small shop cost less than one hundred taels in total.
"Xingle Cloth Shop is a century-old brand. No matter how big your shop is, how good the fabrics are, or how beautiful the clothes are, Xingle is still good. Are you sure you won't lose money?" Wu Weian felt really sorry for his wife.
After all, Ji Yunxi's money was not in his hands.
But they are already married and their relationship is getting better and better, so they may not necessarily get divorced.
It makes sense that he feels a little sorry for her money.
Ji Yunxi glanced at him sideways: "When have I ever been at a disadvantage?"
Wu Weian paused and said, "That's right."
Ji Yunxi's money is too hot to handle.
Therefore, he never asks for anything unless it is necessary, and taking it is a fair deal.
Ji Yunxi took Wu Weian to visit three other cloth shops.
The positioning of each cloth shop is different. The one near Kaitaizhuang has the best products and targets the young masters and young ladies from powerful families.
The other three companies, one is for ordinary people, one is for well-off families who are between ordinary people and the powerful, who have some money and some official positions but not enough money, and the other one is specialized in customization, for example, it is mainly responsible for clothes for servants in the house, clothes for disciples of the sect, etc.
After visiting the four families one by one, the sun had already set when the two arrived at the Wu family.
At home, you don't have to worry too much about what you say.
As soon as Ji Yunxi stepped into the room, she asked directly, "Do you want to join?"
Wu Weian paused, raised his eyebrows slightly, and took a breath: "What?"
In fact, although he asked this question, he already had an idea in his heart.
He has been broke for so many years, is the God of Wealth going to give him a helping hand now?
Ji Yunxi sat in front of the dressing mirror, took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, and said, "The Queen sent someone to invite me into the palace yesterday, saying that she wanted to see me."
Wu Weian leaned aside and looked at her: "Oh?"
"But what the Queen really wants to see—" Ji Yunxi raised her eyes, "is you."
Wu Weian lowered his eyes, smiled faintly, and said nothing.
Ji Yunxi continued, "The Crown Prince's ability to secure his position as Crown Prince is largely due to the Queen. She knows you're no ordinary person."
Over the years, the Queen has been very good to Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi knew why, because the Ji family was very useful to the prince, but at the same time, the Ji family had many weaknesses.
The Ji family is very popular with the Queen. Similarly, this is why Wu Weian agreed to marry her.
It’s for money, but the most important thing is not just money.
It is thanks to the Queen who protected the Ji family that the Ji family has been safe until now.
"I can guess that this incident with the Fifth Prince was your doing. The Empress can also guess it." Ji Yunxi took off her hairpin. "She wants to pull you into the Crown Prince's camp and give him advice."
Wu Wei'an sighed softly: "Then I will be even busier."
"You've been quite idle lately." Ji Yunxi glanced at him in the mirror. "I'm going to touch the Fifth Prince's purse next, and he won't sit idly by. You join the Crown Prince's camp and help me tie him down."
Wu Weian was straightforward. The Fifth Prince had to be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise he would be in danger as he was a thorn in the Fifth Prince's side. "Okay."
He blinked subconsciously: "Half each?"
Ji Yunxi nodded: "Half each."
Wu Wei'an emphasized: "It's not your two families and our two families. It's half for each of us."
Ji Yunxi still had no expression on her face: "Oh, I see."
But her five fingers placed on the dressing table couldn't help but curl up slightly.
An old fox who learns from his mistakes.
Wu Weian then stood up to wash up. When he turned around, the expression on his face disappeared and his eyes moved slightly.
Last time at the gambling house, he didn't understand the difference between "you take four, I take four" and "you take half, I take half," so she tricked him.
