Ye Shang didn't know whether he should believe his mother-in-law, after all, the deputy general was almost killed by her last time.

Concubine Tao looked worried. She didn't expect that her relationship with her only son was so tense now. The relationship between people was like a piece of paper. After being crumpled and then spread out, it would no longer be what it was before.

She deeply felt that her relationship with Yeshang needed to be eased by something based on trust.

She said: "Call Miss Xu over. I have something to tell her."

Yeshang was stunned when he heard this, but when he saw Concubine Tao's serious look, he decided to believe her for once.

He sent someone to invite Xu Yihuan, while he continued to sit with Concubine Tao in the palace. He did not dare to put Miss Xu and his mother-in-law together and let them meet alone.

Concubine Tao also noticed that her son really liked Miss Xu and started to protect her even before they got married.

I felt slightly sad.

Both of them took advantage of the time to invite Xu Yihuan and sat in the palace trying to calm down.

Yeshang's emotions came and went quickly.

Concubine Tao saw that his expression had improved a lot, and her mood also eased.

Xu Yihuan followed the staff around and wandered around the city's inns, restaurants, and brothels.

Everywhere he went, he would ask his staff what products were the most profitable and how to make them? Where do the guests come from? Why are these people willing to spend money.

At first, the staff just thought that the eldest lady had been locked up in the backyard since she was a child. She had never seen these things, so she was curious about everything. However, after he visited the same and similar restaurants repeatedly, Xu Yihuan's questions remained the same. I began to suspect that the eldest lady had other ideas in her mind.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask: "Miss, do you want to do business?"

Xu Yihuan grinned broadly: "Is it so obvious?"

When the staff heard this, they took a deep breath and said: "It wasn't obvious at first, but it becomes obvious after seeing more."

He asked: "What does the eldest lady want to do to make money?"

Nowadays, their power is still very weak. The eldest lady has never thought of proclaiming herself king. She doesn't even have a country title. Now she still uses the title of Jin.

Xu Yihuan sighed after hearing this: "Now that we have the palace and the things that the nobles confiscated from their homes, we can support the army for the time being, but this is not an option in the long run. We can't just loot the nobles every time they run out of money. This will make people panic."

The staff member looked at Xu Yihuan brightly when he heard this, and said: "Miss, you are righteous."

Xu Yihuan grinned, she was not righteous, she was stingy.

The small treasury given to her by Magistrate Liu of Xiaocheng was enough to support dozens of armies, but she just couldn't bear to take it out.

All the money is used to support the army, what should she do?

In addition, she was not used to many things of this era, such as no soap in bathing, hand washing of clothes, and no bathroom when using the toilet. She was very unaccustomed to these things.

Speaking of making money, that's only one aspect. On the other hand, she also wants to make her life better.

Now she brushes her teeth in the morning without even a toothbrush and relies on salt water to rinse her mouth. She is really not used to it. If things go on like this, she thinks she will get cavities.

She fell in love with so many craftsmen in noble families, not just to make money and improve her quality of life.

Of course, it would be better if it improves the quality of life of people in this era.

Xu Yihuan feels that she is still very kind.

The staff followed Xu Yihuan. After hearing those words, their admiration for Xu Yihuan increased a lot.

"Miss, Mr. Xu also had some properties before. If you want to do business, you can try his properties."

Xu Yihuan paused when he heard the steps under his feet, and looked at his staff: "Where is it? Tell me quickly. Did Xu Mansion's previous property have a restaurant?"

She is most concerned about these things now. All the wealthy noble families in the city have had their homes confiscated, and most of the people who survive now are the middle and lower class nobles. Some of these people have money, but they have no land to spend their money.

Without the big gentry suppressing her, there was no guarantee that these people wouldn't cause trouble for her.

"It's the most luxurious restaurant at the entrance of Dongjie." The staff pointed to the front. The building with gold and jade carvings exuded the smell of rotting copper. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Xu Tai really knows how to waste money. Wouldn’t it be nice to keep the money for yourself?

It has to be so flashy.

"I went there just now. Is it still open?"

The staff nodded and looked at Xu Yihuan.

Xu Yihuan said: "The Xu family has been ransacked, can it still be open?"

The staff member smiled: "You are still here in the Xu family, and Taifu Xu is here, so why can't we open the business?"

When Xu Yihuan heard this, her face paused and she said with a smile, "Does that mean that the restaurant belongs to me?"

The staff member was stunned, could he say no?

But so what if it’s not? Captain Xu said yes, so how could the restaurant not be hers?

Xu Yihuan walked back as if she had found a treasure. In just a moment, she decided to let Mo'er manage the restaurant. With her cooking skills, she would be able to make a name for herself in the capital of Gyeonggi.

Xu Yihuan feels that he is a business tycoon and will definitely have a place in Gyeonggi in the future.

When the restaurant owner saw Zhang Xianhe and his staff leaving and returning, he was so frightened that he stepped forward and asked respectfully: "Xu Lieutenant, is there anything I can help you with?"

Xu Yihuan's face darkened and she asked: "How did my father manage this restaurant? Is it still making money now?"

As soon as the shopkeeper heard Xu Yihuan's question, he knew that she already knew that the restaurant belonged to Xu Tai.

He stepped forward tremblingly and said: "In the past, it was mainly a place for nobles and young ladies to have fun, play and eat. Occasionally, they would also participate in the gladiatorial arena for gambling."

Xu Yihuan became interested when she heard it. She had heard the word "fighting ground" many times since she came to Gyeonggi Province. When she heard it again today, she couldn't help but arouse her curiosity. "Where is the arena?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he raised his head and glanced at the staff. Seeing that the staff's face was calm, he said bluntly: "It's right next to the restaurant."

After speaking, he pointed to the corner next to the restaurant.

The staff stepped forward and opened the window.

Xu Yihuan raised her feet and moved, looking outside.

What comes into view is a large indoor duel cage. Below the duel arena is a square field with a huge iron cage in the middle of the flat field.

The venue is surrounded by places where palace people can watch. Each position rises like a terrace, much like the auditorium next to a modern stadium.

Xu Yihuan was greatly shocked after watching it. She stared awkwardly at the venue. Now there was no one in the duel cage.

She turned to the shopkeeper and asked: "Who is in charge of the arena?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, his hands were shaking.

"This"

The staff stepped forward and said: "The arena is not managed by us, but by aliens."

"Alien" Xu Yihuan repeated it twice, unable to believe this word.

Finally she said: "Alien, what kind of alien do you mean?"

When the staff heard this, their expressions darkened.

He looked at Xu Yihuan's face twice, breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered that the eldest lady had lived in her own backyard since she was a child, so naturally she didn't understand these things.

Just as the staff member was about to speak, he heard the sound of armor coming from outside the door: "Where is Captain Xu?"
