nd said loudly, "When Sixth Prince defied the decree, this official should have gone to apprehend him, but I was stopped by the guards of the Duke's Mansion. What use is a mere Li Anfu Yin if he canno...The division between the rich and poor in the outer city was very severe. There were wealthy merchants like Jia, who had plenty of money, but there were also many impoverished people who struggled to even afford a meal. 。Even a job that guarantees basic necessities can only keep you afloat if nothing unexpected happens at home. Once someone in the family falls seriously ill, even affording medical treatment and medication becomes a problem. 。People like this don't have the fussy rules of wealthy families. They aren't like those women who never leave their homes, not even to step through the second door... 。They would prefer their daughter to also work, to help with the household expenses. 。But the main reason it didn't work out is that there simply weren't any suitable jobs available outside. 。She could certainly provide this kind of work, and the jewelry store was originally meant to boost her reputation. With her in charge, no one would dare say anything about a woman being too forward or showing her face too much. 。It's easy to say that the host is all women. 。She silently made plans in her heart, and then asked Zhuier to take Ying Nantian and Shangguan Xiaoya to the backyard to have a look at the house. 。When she came back, Zhu'er said, "Madam Shi is really particular. She only brought people with her, not even a single piece of furniture in the house." 。But we still need to prepare, like changing the bedding and all that. And just now..." She glanced at Ying Nantong, what should she call him This man called their young mistress "Master," so he should be around her age, right But after all, he was older, so she couldn't just call him by his name... 。Seeing her embarrassment, Nan Tian proactively eased the situation: "You can call me Uncle" 。"

Zhuai'er stuck out her tongue, "That's good too" 。Then she said to Ye Wen, “Just now Uncle Ying said that the tools left behind by the Shi family can be given to apprentices to use. His and Shangguan...Uncle’s tools will be moved over from the Ying family.” 。” Shangguan Xiaoya's face darkened. He was only eighteen this year, how could this maid call him uncle He wanted to correct her, but Zhuier saw through his thoughts and reminded him, "If I don't call you uncle, then you might have to call me aunt." 。"After all, you call my young lady 'Master,' we're a generation apart! "

Shangguan Xiaoya expressed her speechlessnes, but she also gave up on correcting Zhu'er for calling him uncle.

It seems that Miss Ye is truly imposing, even her maids are so capable. Only with such servants by her side would she be protected from being bullied, right "Master, you should mainly think about the shopkeeper..." 。"Southern Heaven reminded her again, 'It's much easier to find a companion than a capable shopkeeper. But finding a qualified shopkeeper is incredibly difficult.'" 。After all, it involves accounts. If the shopkeeper were to forge entries on the ledgers and was skilled enough, even the master would be unable to detect it. 。"

Ye Wen felt that what he said made sense, but where could she find a wealthy merchant Borrow from the Shi family No, they belonged to the Shi family after all. Besides, she and the Shi family had no deep relationship. Even their cooperative pharmacy was still under observation." 。The jewelry shop was crucial to her, it had to be able to hold its own on stage and have a lot of knowledgeable shopkeepers to help. 。Since she didn't make a decision right away, Ying Nan said it wasn't urgent. Making jewelry also takes time, and there were still a few days to think about it carefully. 。But at the same time, he also gave Ye Wen a thought: "If the master wants these jewelry to be spread as widely as possible, it won't work just by himself, nor will it work relying on the Shi family alone" 。While Shijia's business was extensive, it had its limits. It wasn't even among the top businesses in Lin'an's outer city, let alone the entire Beiqi. 。He spoke and gestured, indicating to Ye Wen that he needed to speak with him privately. 。Ye Wen followed closely behind as he walked up and down the three floors of the jewelry shop, while Zhuier called upon Shangguan Xiaoya to go to the backyard together and tidy things up. 。Ying Nantian told Ye Wen: "Actually, there is someone who could consider becoming a master, but I don't know how the master feels about this person and whether he is willing to team up with him to take this step." 。He looked at Ye Wen, hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and said: "His Royal Highness Dust King, he is the richest man in Beiqi." 。"Dust King" Ye Wenyan was taken aback, "The Fourth Prince, Quan Qinghua" Let me know if you'd like the rest of the text translated!。"Yin Tian nodded, "Actually, the Four Halls have a lot of people under their command, but very few people know that these people are all used for business." 。Everyone assumed that he had been sent to Gu Yue as a hostage all those years ago and hadn't returned to the country in the past decade. To the Northern Qi, he was someone with no foundation at all. 。But in fact, he wasn't without a foundation; he just didn't manage to infiltrate Lin'an city or the imperial court. 。But according to my uncle, merchants from Northern Qi, excluding the two cities of Lin'an and its suburbs, control almost 80% of the industries in all other provinces and states. 。Master, think about it, what a terrifying force this is. 。"

Ye Wen listened and slightly narrowed his eyes. Eighty percent, almost all of it.

" 。How did that person manage to be absent from Beizhi while still permeating their influence so thoroughly Haven't people noticed these past few years No, someone already has. Otherwise, how would Ying Nantian have known She turned her gaze to Ying Nantian, who immediately replied, "My uncle said that Fourth Prince's business, he helped a lot with it. He can be said to be the only person Fourth Prince trusts in Lin'an City." 。Yesterday, my uncle told me about this when I went to Lin's shop. He said that if the master had this intention, he could talk to the fourth prince. 。" Ye Wen suddenly burst into laughter. This wasn't what Ying Peng meant at all, it was clearly Quan Qinghua's idea. " 。But her relationship with Quan Qing had reached this point, why would he still want to help herYing Nantian didn't know why she was laughing, but seeing that she didn't intend to say anything, he didn't ask any further. 。When Ye Wenyan left the jewelry store, Shangguan Xiaoya didn't follow him. 。He will stay here from today onwards. He has taken care of all the purchasing in advance. As for the servants who do odd jobs in the backyard, Ye Wenyan promised to send them over tomorrow. 。Ying Nantian returned to the inner city, one to respond to family demands, and two to transport his familiar tools. 。While Ye Wen went to Shi Xuan's medical clinic 。The plaque for Shi Xuan Medical Hall was already hung up. Bai Chuxiao and Xiao Jue were both seeing patients in the consultation room. When people saw her, they were very happy. Shi Ruoxun took her around to look inside and out again, and told her about the pricing of each medicinal pill's efficacy. 。She had no experience in business. Since Shi Xuan Medical Hall was entrusted to Shi's siblings, it must be someone she trusted. 。This time I came here mainly to set up a sterile room, even setting up a sterility prohibition using spiritual energy for the entire medical clinic. 。 Bai Chuxiao and Xiao Jue knew about her relationship with the Emperor, so they could accept that Ye Wenyan would use some methods different from ordinary people. They only thought it was learned from the Emperor, and didn't think of other aspects. 。She took the opportunity to imbue some pills with spiritual energy again. The effect was still the same, but the potency was enhanced. 。At the same time, remind Bai Chuxiao and Xiao Jue: "If anyone asks about these medical techniques you have learned, and can also say one or two things about them, or even say where they saw them..." 。Then you must bring that person to me, or notify me immediately. 。Xiao Bai and the two nodded in unison. Bai Chuxiao even asked, "Is Fourth Miss looking for our master"Ye Wen sighed softly, "She is looking, but in this vast sea of people, it's not so easy to find." 。" She's good at leaving her mark on the world now, using positive means. She believes that one day someone will see it, guess it, and follow the clues to find her. 。When she finally prepared to leave the Times Xuan Medical Hall in the evening, a short young man arrived before her and bowed respectfully—"My name is Ji Er, I was sent from Quanzhou." 。Please rest assured, Master. Everything is under control here. 。" He considered Master Lī Yúan to be the most revered, and in his presence, he would only refer to himself as a slave. " 。Perhaps it was because Shi Liyuan or Ji Mumu had instructed them, clearly stating Ye Wenyan's identity. Therefore, they were now willing to address him as "master" in front of him. 。"Let me tell you 。"Ye Wenyan was very happy. She said, 'Thank you, with someone like you here, I can rest assured about everything.'" 。Shi Ruoyu kept escorting Ye Wenyan onto the carriage until it drove away. Even then, she was still pondering what Ye Wenyan had whispered to her ear just before they parted. 。When Ji'er arrived at the doctor's clinic, she was brought by a nurse from Ye Wen's side. She knew that the nurse was surnamed Ji, but she didn't think much of it. 。But now that I think about it, something here seems off. 。The person surnamed Ji always felt that the four characters "Ji's family" had some allusion. But she couldn't remember what it was for a while. 。Turning around, Shi Ruoxun saw Bai Chuxiao and Xiao Jue were also there. She casually asked, "Do you two have any impression of the surname Ji After hearing Fourth Miss mention the Ji family just now, I feel like I've heard it somewhere before"Xiao Bai glanced at each other, then looked at Ji Er who was already busy in the medical hall, shaking their heads in unison, indicating they didn't know. 。By nightfall, Shi Ru Xun was preparing to go home. It wasn't until Bai Chu Xiao saw Shi Ru Xun off that she quietly whispered to Xiao Jue: "The people from the Ji family aren't just the Ji family of Quanzhou, right Given Miss Si's relationship with the Emperor, it's normal for her to send someone like Ji Nu over. It's just that I don't know how to tell this to Sister Xun." 。"I don't know how to say it, so I won't." 。“Xiao Jue made a decision, ‘We promised the fourth young lady that we wouldn’t tell anyone about her and that matter. Then let’s just pretend we don’t know.’” 。Anyway, there are so many people surnamed Ji in the world, who would have thought it was from the Ji clan of Quanzhou 。Bai Chuxiao thought about it and agreed, so she nodded, "Alright, I'll listen to you." 。“After saying that, I had another thought. It’s no wonder that the head of the household is still the man! You can't tell when things are going well, but once something happens, it's the men who make the big decisions.” 。Xiao Jue's face flushed red all of a sudden, and he mumbled, "What nonsense..." 。Then he turned and was about to leave. 。Bai Chuxiao yanked him back, "Where are you running to I'm asking you, when did you tell your parents about us"Xiao Jue pondered for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed, "The clinic here is too busy. In a while when the inner city clinic opens up, we'll have to run between two places..." 。I was thinking maybe I should just send a letter back home. As soon as they receive it, they'll definitely come to Beijing as quickly as possible. 。" Okay.

Bai Chuxiao nodded, "Then send a letter. You have to hurry, my mother asked about you again last night." 。My father also said that last time it was the servants who were too hasty and detained you in the mansion, but after the misunderstanding was explained, there wasn't much of an issue. Our family is still satisfied with you. 。"It is... it is..."

She was insistent, and Xiao Jue's heart skipped a beat. 。 What other surprises are therems the court doesn't intend to immediately turn against Guiyue, and is doing its best to appease the princess's emotions. 。But I didn't expect that while the imperial court was busy appeasing, you we...
