The daily life of the concubine of the Prime Minister

Chapter 197 Return to the city

"Oh?" Liu Yu raised her eyebrows, a smile that didn't reach her eyes appeared on the corner of her mouth. She approached the little girl:

"Since you know me, you should know that my methods are dishonorable and I am not easy to mess with."

Seeing that the girl in yellow suddenly opened her eyes wide and took a step back in fear, Liu Yu moved aside with satisfaction and took Guyu with him to catch up with Madam Yang who had already walked ahead.

"Are you okay?" Mrs. Yang heard about the crazy rumors circulating in the capital recently and looked at Liu Yu with some concern.

Liu Yu shook her head: "It's okay, just a little girl." She didn't take what others said about her to heart. She could never have imagined that this girl in yellow would have an impact on the Chen Mansion.

"Those rumors..."

"Nothing, since it's just a rumor, it will naturally break down over time."

The two followed the new emperor's procession back to the capital.

When she returned home, Mr. Chen San was also home. He told her that Prince Qi wanted to come back to kill her.

"Although they can't enter the city, you still have to be careful, okay?" Mr. Chen San warned.

"I know."

Liu Yu nodded obediently. She knew King Qi. Once he didn't get what he wanted, he would either get it or destroy it. She had a hunch that King Qi would come back.

Chen Sanchen's advice is necessary.

After giving the instructions, Mr. Chen San returned to the palace to report.

In the blink of an eye, four months passed as the new emperor took over, and it was already July.

Liu Yugang returned to Chen Mansion from Yuzhen Hall. After changing his clothes and washing up, he left the mansion and went to the cloth shop under the name of Chen Mansion.

Mr. Chen San was in charge of official career, and Mr. Chen Daye was in charge of business. In the cloth shop, Liu Yu met Mr. Chen and explained her purpose to him.

Even though the palace costume submission competition was a joke, the spot was still given to the No. 1 workshop in the world, but Yuzhentang became famous in the industry.

In the past few months, Yuzhentang has received several large orders from Jiangnan companies, as well as the pursuit of more girls from wealthy families. The embroiderers at Yuzhentang have been so busy that they don't even have time to drink a sip of water.

Just a few days ago, the Fu family, the richest family in Beijing, ordered a batch of clothes from Yuzhentang. The cloth shop that originally cooperated with Yuzhentang was a small cloth shop and had already experienced delayed delivery.

Therefore, the embroiderers were in a very tight schedule. They had to eliminate the hidden dangers in the Chen Mansion in the past few months, which was why they had not yet found a suitable cloth shop.

She also plans to open another embroidery shop.

That would require finding a new cloth shop to cooperate with. Liu Yu thought that it would be better to use his own cloth shop instead of giving others a bargain.

"Sister-in-law, sometimes it's easy to deal with not becoming an imperial merchant." Uncle Chen comforted Liu Yu.

Although he did not go to the palace to submit his application for the competition that day, he had heard that Yuzhentang had won over many weaving workshops in one competition.

I didn't expect that Yuzhen Hall actually belongs to my third brother's wife.

He admired a woman who could make her business famous in the capital.

If his mother hadn't planned to hand over the power of the family to her, he would have wanted to put this third brother's wife in the business.

In the Chen Mansion, there is the precedent of the old lady. They are only divided by ability, and gender is not important.

Liu Yu didn't care about this matter. She smiled and made a plan: "Brother, now that Yuzhentang is doing well, I plan to open one in Xicheng. I want us to make cloth ourselves..."

Uncle Chen specially studied the double-sided embroidered garments produced by Yuzhentang. To be honest, the embroidery and paintings are not particularly good.

His cloth shop is totally feasible.

only……

Liu Yu seemed to see his concerns, and she spoke first:

"Brother, I will pay the money. The price is still the same as outside. What do you think?"

The money earned by Yuzhentang is from her private account, so there is no reason to use money from public accounts to fill her private treasury.

So does she still want to stay in the Chen Mansion?

This store is public, and he really can't make the decision on his own to provide it to Yuzhentang for free. However, he still felt a little embarrassed that Liu Yu took the initiative to propose it.

Uncle Chen poured her some tea and said with a smile:

"Third sister-in-law, look at what you said. I was just thinking, since double-sided embroidery is so popular among women, do you think we can expand our business nationwide..."

"Do it?"

"It's not just in the capital? What about Jiangsu, Hangzhou, and other wealthy places?"

"If big brother is willing, I can ask the embroiderer in my shop to teach you." Liu Yu had no objection at all.

Double-sided embroidery is quite difficult, but she has not forgotten that the origin of this thing is not her own.

Although it was a bit shameless, one had to admit that she did take other people's things in advance and released them.

Maybe the embroiderer has already started to study double-sided embroidery thoroughly.

Even if Yuzhentang's craftsmanship is not passed on to outsiders, it is only a matter of time before it is spread out.

She didn't have the ability, but since Uncle Chen took the initiative to propose it, of course she supported him.

"Really? Well then, I'll let the fourth child leave Beijing right away." Uncle Chen was very excited.

Liu Yu nodded: "I will also go back to Yuzhentang and pick someone with good embroidery skills."

They then went on to finalize the order for the Jade Needle Hall. Liu Yu had saved a lot of money recently, so he paid a part of the deposit first.

Originally, Uncle Chen didn’t want to take it in, but Liu Yu convinced him by saying “move it from one warehouse to another”.

He once again felt the demeanor of this brother's sister-in-law, which was much better than the other daughters-in-law of the Chen family. He saw the shadow of his mother Heshi in her.

The new emperor had just inherited the throne and issued a general amnesty. The people's hearts were initially settled and the entire capital was thriving.

This matter needed to be dealt with as soon as possible, so the two of them discussed it and Uncle Chen went home that night to gather people and get to work.

The old lady felt relieved and happy when she saw her sons and daughters-in-law working together for the benefit of the Chen family.

"Mother, what do you think?" After Uncle Chen San and Liu Yu left, Uncle Chen stayed behind and asked the mother whom he had admired since childhood.

The old lady smiled and nodded: "Yes, let's do as you say. Your third sister-in-law has something on her. You can refer to her opinions and ideas." The old lady gave an affirmative answer.

Only then did Uncle Chen step out and start to deal with the matter.

"Madam, you can finally rest in peace." Nanny Feng was really happy for the old lady.

The old lady stood up with the help of Nanny Feng:

"Well, Liu Yu finally didn't let me down," she patted Aunt Feng's hand and said earnestly:

"Aying! If a woman doesn't marry well, it will harm her whole life. If a man doesn't marry well, it will harm three generations."

Nanny Feng had been with the old lady all her life, so how could she not know what the old lady was talking about? She smiled and said:

"This is also because the Second Madam is incompetent."

Although Aunt Feng said this, the old lady didn't think so. She sighed heavily, feeling very disappointed:

"Actually! This is all the fault of the second brother. I didn't teach him well. Sigh! And Yao'er, isn't there something wrong with her too?"
