"The biggest fear for money shops is that people will forge their seals and issue fake documents!"
"Master, are all the necessary documents and procedures in place for opening this money exchange?"
Su Buqing asked respectfully. Originally, these matters should have been handled by him as the manager, but Yun Yishu had told him before that he didn't need to worry about them, so he didn't take charge of them.
Song Yuanbao was also worried about this matter.
"Don't worry about that, I have my own plans."
Yun Yishu indicated to the two that he would take care of the necessary procedures for opening a money exchange.
[If I want to see how to get the necessary paperwork done, it seems I'll have to ask Brother Xiong for help.]
Upon hearing this, Su Buqing felt relieved, as everything seemed settled and he could simply focus on managing the business well from now on.
"Then I'll have to trouble you all from now on. Let's make money together!"
"Thank you for your help."
The group toasted each other with tea instead of wine, thus concluding their discussions for the day.
...
At noon, after returning to the palace, Yun Duoduo received a message from Jin Jinzhi via carrier pigeon, just as she had the day before.
[My brother Sumire misses me a lot!]
Ever since she fainted at the Jin residence, Yun Duoduo has received letters from Jin Jinzhi every day. It's clear from the letters that Jin Jinzhi is very worried about her health, which makes Yun Duoduo, who pretended to faint at the Jin residence last time, feel a little embarrassed.
However, she was very happy to receive the note from Sumire's brother.
Jin Zhuangzhuang recently returned to the palace, and the two were having a great time.
After bypassing the back garden, Yun Duoduo and Jin Zhuangzhuang entered the kitchen and watched Aunt Wu and the palace maids busy at work.
"What are we having for lunch today?"
Yun Duoduo circled around the kitchen, looking at the meat and vegetables on the cutting board, and asked curiously.
"This morning, Xiao Wang from the vegetable shop delivered some locally grown chives. Knowing that the princess loves chive and egg buns from the street vendors, he's making them now and will steam them for you in a little while!"
Aunt Wu smiled and said to her.
"I washed these chives early this morning. If I leave them to dry like this, they'll be completely dry by noon, which will make the chive filling taste better!"
It's not easy to find chives in the dead of winter.
"Haha, good, Aunt Wu is still the best to me!"
Yun Duoduo responded with a smile.
"Aunt Wu, are there any other dishes?"
Jin Zhuangzhuang said from the side, "It would be great if we had fried scorpions..."
"Snake meat is fine too..."
[Scorpion...]
Snake meat...
Zhuangzhuang, we don't do that!
[If I had known, I wouldn't have let the palace maid read you the Record of Ten Thousand Insects.]
Seeing Aunt Wu's bewildered and fearful eyes, Yun Duoduo patted Jin Zhuangzhuang's head: "Zhuangzhuang, pork and beef are also delicious."
"The fish smells delicious too. You must be craving pigeon. I'll catch one for you."
Why eat those strange things from servants?
Jin Zhuangzhuang pouted, "Sister Duo, Zhuangzhuang wants to eat garlic scorpion..."
Garlic-flavored scorpions, I'm truly impressed...
“Scorpions, scorpions are only found in the northern border regions, you’ll have to ask your brother for them.”
Yun Duoduo comforted Yun Duoduo.
Where in Nanyang can you find scorpions and snakes? Even if you go to the mountains outside Beijing, you might not be able to find scorpions and snakes this season.
"Zhuangzhuang understands."
After having a private meal at the imperial kitchen, Yun Duoduo took Jin Zhuangzhuang back to Fushuang Palace. While Yun Duoduo wasn't paying attention, Jin Zhuangzhuang asked the eunuch Xiao Liuzi to write a note and send it to the Jin residence by carrier pigeon.
Yun Duoduo was completely unaware of any of this; she spent the entire afternoon sitting at the table, fiddling with the abacus.
For someone used to electronic calculators, using an abacus was extremely difficult for her, and it took Aunt Xiang and Granny Liu quite a while to teach her.
In the evening, Xiao Liuzi ran into Yun Duoduo, who had gone out to enjoy the breeze and relax.
"Princess, why are you craving scorpions?"
Xiao Liuzi made a sound, bowed, and then asked Yun Duoduo curiously.
In his mind, princesses would never eat such random things.
"Scorpions? When did this princess ever want to eat scorpions?"
Yun Duoduo looked at Xiao Liuzi with a puzzled expression, as if she were in a fog.
"Huh? Doesn't the princess want to eat?" This time it was Xiao Liu's turn to be puzzled.
"This afternoon, the princess asked me to write a few words on her behalf, saying that the princess wanted to eat scorpions, so I wrote a few words and sent them to the Jin residence."
"Huh? What did you write?!"
Yun Duoduo sensed something was wrong. What wicked idea was Jin Zhuangzhuang up to now?
"It says, 'Brother, Sister Duo wants to eat fried scorpions.'"
What?! Jin Zhuangzhuang actually used her name to send a message to her brother via carrier pigeon?!
After saying that, Xiao Liu noticed that Yun Duoduo's expression was a little strange, so he silently took two steps back.
"Gold! Strong! Strong!"
Yun Duoduo tried to shout at the top of her lungs to get Jin Zhuangzhuang to come out, but Jin Zhuangzhuang was a coward who dared to do something but not to take responsibility. He knew Yun Duoduo was angry, so he didn't dare to come out.
Jin Zhuangzhuang quickly ran into the wardrobe and hid.
Yun Duoduo waited outside for a while, and when no one came out, she went inside to look for them.
"Zhuangzhuang, while Sister Duo can still control her emotions, hurry up and come out and explain!"
There was still no movement inside the bedchamber, but the maids and eunuchs nearby knelt down upon hearing the princess's roar.
Yun Duoduo looked around, then waved her hand impatiently, signaling the kneeling palace maids and eunuchs to leave.
When her gaze fell on the wardrobe, she noticed a corner of clothing sticking out from inside.
【Great, I've hidden it here!】
Yun Duoduo tiptoed over, suddenly pulled open the wardrobe door, grabbed Jin Zhuangzhuang by the collar, and dragged her out.
"Zhuangzhuang, why are you using my name?!"
Why don't you just say you want to eat it yourself?
Yun Duoduo was a little confused. She was Jin Jinzhi's younger sister. It would be easy for her to talk to her brother about anything, or to go back to the Jin residence to find General Jin and Madam Jin.
Why make such a fuss?
"Sister Duo, if it were something I wanted to eat, my brother definitely wouldn't go all the way to the Northern Frontier to bring it back for me."
Jin Zhuangzhuang looked at Yun Duoduo with a pitiful expression.
Yun Duoduo was stunned when she heard this.
Ah, this child, what he said is indeed the truth.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say. Recalling the past, her brother Jinzhi often brought her pretty and cute little lanterns and delicious food from the northern frontier.
But it seems that she hasn't brought Jin Zhuangzhuang anything much...
Forget it, let's just let it go this time.
"You're not allowed to do that again, understand?"
It's not a big deal that he used her name this time, but if Jin Zhuangzhuang doesn't repent and uses someone else's name in the future, things will probably get complicated.
I need to take this opportunity to make things clear with her, so that she doesn't cause any trouble in the future.
"If you want Sister Duo to write a letter to your brother, Zhuangzhuang can just talk to Sister Duo directly."
"Okay, Zhuangzhuang, I understand."
...?
