Started to get rich after exile

The emperor gave Shan Zhao and He Bai a marriage in a low-key manner. General Shan learned that the emperor would call Shan Zhao to Beijing to get along with He Bai. One step back to the border, to tell the good news to the rest of the Shan family.

As for Shan Zhao who was tricked into going to Beijing and going to stay alone for the new year, it doesn't matter, his father has won such a good opportunity for him, trying to get his fiancée in this new year!

Ming Lanying learned that Shan Zhao was tricked into coming here, and he was already on his way, and General Shan had brought people back to the border to announce the good news, laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

Ye Juelu hugged her helplessly and fondly, Ming Lanying smiled softly and gasped in his arms.

"You and the emperor are too bad, you actually tricked people into the capital, if he was caught off guard and met He Bai, and after the two had a fight, he knew that he was begged by his own father to be married by the emperor and his opponent. Are you so angry that you have no face to see Hebai?"

She learned a little about Shan Zhao from Ye Juelu, for example, he is handsome, and it is said that the three brothers of the Shan family are all close friends; for example, he has a good temper and is not a bad person. He could only swear and comfort his own father, because he loves to hold grudges; he also talked as much as Hebai.

Seeing her smiling happily, Ye Juelu's eyebrows and eyes softened a lot, "My wife wants to watch the fun, so naturally I have to make my wife happy as a husband."

Ming Lanying pinched his face with a smile, "I heard from the Empress that Shan Zhao arrived in the capital just at the end of the new year, and General Zhenguan didn't have a mansion in the capital. The emperor meant to live with us in the mansion. I thought about it. Alright, he and He Bai must be very lively when they bump into each other, so I agreed."

Ye Juelu indulged in clenched hands on his face, looked down at her, his stern eyes were tender like water, "Okay."

"By the way, Ning'er seems to be able to go to Chinese studies, but when we return to the frontier fortress after the next year, there seems to be no private school or Chinese school in the frontier fortress. I'm thinking of hiring a teacher for him or should we just set up a school in the frontier fortress?"

There is no national school or private school in the frontier, but they have money and power now, so it is okay to set up a national school for Ning'er.

Ye Juelu shook his head, "There is a mixed bag of fish and dragons over there, it is not suitable for running a national school, there are private schools, but they are not in our county, I will ask Ming Langtao to rectify it after I go back, I have neglected it for so long and it is time to rectify it, my hand There are connections here, so it’s no problem to find a few good teachers for Ning’er, and you can also set up a private school, where you can make friends and study.”

"also."

Ming Lanying thinks the same. Although the national schools in the capital are good, there are many open and secret struggles and cliques in the capital. They are all the children of aristocratic families, and it is subconscious behavior to make friends with interests.

The family of officials in the capital, even the children have [-] minds, and all the daily greetings and invitations are rejected with heavy ceremonies. She herself doesn't want to touch these, and she doesn't want Ning'er to face them at a young age.

If Ning'er has the ambition to enter an official career, she will find someone to cultivate her, let Ye Juelu teach him the way of officialdom, and then send him to the Guoxuetang, from the Guoxuetang to the imperial court step by step.

If she wanted to be a chivalrous knight, she could also spend a lot of money to hire a master of the [-]th class of martial arts to teach him martial arts, let He Bai teach him the experience of the world, and let him go out.

One day the young eagle will leave the nest to spread its wings and fly high. All she can do is pave the way for him to the best of her ability and teach him to walk his own path dignifiedly and stay away from the dangers of the world.

Ming Lanying sighed, "It's so difficult to bring up children..."

Ye Juelu smiled helplessly, "I'll take it, you just take him to play."

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, "Sure!"

Steward Wang walked around the rockery and flowing water with small steps, found the two masters who were snuggling on the swing in the small garden, and respectfully handed over the account books of each shop this month, "Madam, please have a look."

Ming Lanying quickly sat upright, glanced over quickly, and looked at the rising profits above, the smile on her lips never let go, "I have visited these shops, the business is very good, you can add some manpower Prepare to expand by one-third, and there are some unnecessary expenses for this shop, and transfer this expense to shop maintenance and materials..."

Ming Lanying can only check accounts and manage money, not very good at doing business, and can only give some small and trivial suggestions.

"Have you been registered with the commercial shares of the Tang family's caravan a while ago?"

Steward Wang nodded, "It's already written down, Miss Tang Er personally replied that the dividends will be distributed this year."

Ming Lanying smiled. She also took stock of her property a while ago and found out that her small coffers are quite rich. Instead of hoarding them, let it move. The first thing that comes to mind is investment dividends. She just needs to pay money, and every year It's nice to be able to make money while lying down.

She drew one-fifth of the silver in the treasury and invested it all in Tang Ning's caravan. She had heard Tang Ning casually mentioned before that the annual net profit of the caravan was around 60 taels, which was not as profitable as that of the imperial merchants, but it was still a lot. More open up business routes and contacts.

And when she invested in commercial stocks, she invested more and took up the majority, and she could get about 8 taels a year.

Ming Lanying also specially asked Xiaosan to send a letter to inform her, Tang Ning answered the letter dumbfounded, and promised to have a dividend this year.

There was no problem with the account book, Ming Lanying went through it quickly and returned it to Steward Wang.

"Steward Wang is very good at managing the shop, and the reward is doubled at the end of the year."

Steward Wang restrained himself from laughing, saluted respectfully and thanked her, then took out a letter from the frontier fortress and handed it to her, then happily left the small garden with the account book in his arms to drink tea.

Ming Lanying looked at the signature in surprise, "It's from shopkeeper Li."

Ye Juelu also looked over, "The last time was at the beginning of the year."

"Well, the last time I announced the good news, the restaurant has been expanded twice, and the business is getting more and more prosperous. It has gained a reputation in several counties and counties near the frontier fortress, but there are problems when there are too many customers. Some ingredients cannot be supplied. .”

Ming Lanying opened the letter and read it quickly, and raised her eyebrows as expected, "Sure enough, the supply of ingredients is difficult. Shopkeeper Li has a clever mind and has set a few dishes for limited time and seasonal sales. Now someone wants to cooperate with Shopkeeper Li to open a branch. , he refused."

Ye Juelu was puzzled, "Why?"

Ming Lanying smiled helplessly, "Shopkeeper Li doesn't have such lofty ambitions, he knows the truth that rare things are more expensive, and only he and I know the recipes. If we want to open a branch, some recipes have to be made public. The master who is in charge of the spoon, but his heart is unpredictable. He is afraid that he will teach his apprentices to starve to death as a master. When the time comes, he will be short of money and money. He is still hesitating to open a branch. He bought the recipes from me, and he also wants to Asked for my opinion."

Ye Juelu nodded in agreement, "He is a cautious and sensible person."

Ming Lanying owled twice in surprise when she saw the back, "The shopkeeper Li also invited me to be a partner, and asked me to be the behind-the-scenes owner of the big restaurant. The business shares I bought are those recipes. profit!"

Ming Lanying's eyes widened in surprise. The annual net income of the restaurant is not less than one million taels. Shopkeeper Li is willing to let her directly be the behind-the-scenes owner and also share 10% of the profits. She doesn't need to contribute money or effort every year. With a few recipes, you can earn several [-] taels lying down!
This splash of wealth!

"Shopkeeper Li is so nice!"

Ye Juelu was surprised, but still a little uneasy, "I'll have someone find out about this person before we think about it."

Ming Lanying didn't really trust shopkeeper Li, but she was still surprised, "Okay, but I think shopkeeper Li is a good person and we can cooperate."

She was lucky, she met a good person when she was the first to sell vegetable recipes. Shopkeeper Li, who has good vision and is not so sinister and cunning.

Ye Juelu can't say that shopkeeper Li is not a good person. As early as when Ming Lanying traded recipes with shopkeeper Li several times, he had someone roughly check this person. His background is clean and innocent, and there is no boss or master behind him. Relying on his smooth and smooth ability to gain a foothold in the frontier.

But it was only a rough check. Now that shopkeeper Li sincerely invites Ming Lanying to be his boss, he has to check carefully before he can rest assured.

Ming Lanying looked at the letter paper and said, "Now we have power and power, even if we open a branch, we are not afraid of being bullied!"

Seeing that her heart and eyes are full of profiteering dividends, Ye Juelu smiled helplessly, and could only let people check it out quickly.

"I also have property in the frontier fortress, but not much. I beg my wife to help my husband take care of it when I go back to the frontier fortress."

Ming Lanying grinned, and looked at him with bright eyes, "Do you have an account book? Show me it!"

Ye Juelu looked down at her shining eyes, and smiled, "My husband is not good at taking care of shops and money, and he is in the frontier fortress. My wife will be busy when I go back in the future."

"It's easy to say, as long as you hand in the regular silver on time, I guarantee you will have extra silver income every month."

She has never lost in the aspect of managing money. Ming Lanying's three favorite things in her life, money ranks first, Ning'er ranks second, and Ye Jue Lv and He Bai rank third.

Ye Juelu smiled softly, hugged her and posted, "Okay, give it all to the lady."

Now that he has money, he can confidently make her a happy housekeeper.

As soon as He Bai came back over the wall, he saw the brother and sister-in-law stuck together, their innocent and pure eyes seemed to be stabbed by this loving scene, their eyes were hot.

"Ahem! Brother, sister-in-law, I'm back!"

Ye Juelu glanced up, and Ming Lanying looked at her lazily, "Where did you go to play these two days?"

He Bai curled his lips, and muttered: "It's not the emperor's unlucky bestowal of the marriage, I don't know why everyone in the imperial guard camp knows, and they shout congratulations when they see me.

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, pretending to stare at her angrily, "Speak up, let your brother listen too!"

He Bai was startled, and called out "Sister-in-law!"

Ye Juelu's absolute loyalty to the emperor also prevented Hebai from slandering the royal family at will. How could Hebai dare to speak out loudly about such a treasonous thing.

"...I didn't go anywhere, I just went to listen to music, drink, and discuss with Taiyi and the others."

Ming Lanying was surprised, "Aren't you looking for the brothers from the Imperial Guard camp?"

He Bai looked at her inexplicably, "They congratulated me when they saw me, they even drank wine with me, and asked me if the groom was pretty and whether he could fight or not. It's very boring!"

Ming Lanying is in full bloom, and the brotherhood between Hebai and the Imperial Guard Army Camp is pure and innocent, and after the rebellion of the rebels, they are definitely brothers who are hardened!

"I know you're depressed, so don't rush to get angry. The date hasn't been set yet! What the emperor and empress mean is to let the two of you look around first, and then talk when you're not satisfied."

The emperor also liked to watch the excitement, because He Bai pretended to be a good boy in front of the emperor, he couldn't hold back his fart for a long time, and he could always please the empress in private.Once the empress complained too much to the emperor about cranes and vernacular, she and Ming Lanying were overwhelmed by hearing it, the emperor remembered it, and seized this opportunity to watch her lively.

But Ming Lanying only heard about it from the queen later, she didn't tell He Bai, after all, there were several people who wanted to watch the fun, and when chattering met chattering, the scene should be comparable to a cross talk.

He Bai gritted his teeth and said angrily: "What's the good, we have to fight when we meet, and we have to decide the winner!"

Ming Lanying was overjoyed, and quietly approached Ye Juelu's ear, whispering softly, "There is still a play to watch, it will definitely be lively."

Ye Juelu smiled and said nothing, Ming Lanying looked at the angry Hebai with a smile, "I heard that Shan Zhao is quite handsome, and he is already on his way here, so he probably doesn't know about the marriage offer yet. The emperor asked him to celebrate the New Year with us, and he will definitely know when he comes."

He Bai rolled his eyes, "Jun Lang is a fart, he just has a slender white face, if he doesn't know it, he thinks he is a famous actor on the stage! If he dares to come to our house to celebrate the New Year, I will definitely beat him so that he can't think of marrying him." thing!"

Ming Lanying sat and talked without pain in her back, and continued to make sarcastic remarks, "I heard that he is now a young general, with [-] elite soldiers under his command, and our female general... seems to have only one person?"

He Bai clenched his fist and hammered on the rockery beside him. A hole the size of a fist was sunken in the jagged rockery, and gravel fell from the cracked texture. This destructive force made Ming Lanying click his tongue twice.

"I have never lost to anyone except my brother in a one-on-one match! So what if ten thousand elite soldiers, I am equal to two of them!"

Ming Lanying applauded cooperatively, "Then, before he arrives, the female general goes to practice? Keep in the most perfect state and beat him to pieces!"

He Bai immediately turned around and went back to the yard, changed into neat clothes and went to the martial arts training ground, Ming Lanying looked at her high-spirited back.

Asked: "Who do you think He Bai or Shan Zhao will win?"

Ye Juelu replied honestly: "I haven't seen Shan Zhao, so I don't know the depth, so it's hard to make a conclusion."

Ming Lanying stroked her chin and thought, "That's right."

Ming Lanying has never met Shan Zhao, and it is not easy for Xiaosan to inquire about the news, so she can only wait leisurely in the mansion, cook some delicious food occasionally, run a couple of laps or do aerobics to exercise in her spare time .

A month has passed.

Ming Zhengqing was suppressed and watched Ling Chi for two days, already crazy, Ming Lanying ignored him, threw him back to Jiang Heyu, and let the two fend for themselves. The last one in the Ming family was not left. It is a pity that no one will go to worship.

Ming Lanying heard that Lishu was crying in the palace, her heart was broken, and she begged to go to pay homage, but the emperor didn't agree, it was the greatest kindness to keep them to enjoy the royal family's treatment for the last few months.

Ming Lanying smiled after hearing this, but Prince Heng didn't move at all. According to the guards, Prince Heng was just teasing the thrush in the mansion every day, but the thrush was exhausted quickly, and he would have to give it to him in five or six days. Find a new thrush.

This made Ming Lanying feel weird, so she specially asked the cuckoo to explore, but it turned out that Prince Heng talked to the thrush to himself every day. .

The cuckoo trimmed the feathers on its wings, "He kept saying things like 'Why did you leave me? You're tired if you're not alive', it's strange to scare the bird."

Don't look at it with your brain! _(:з」∠)_
