"Crown Princess, she, she also means well..."

Yucui was speechless for a moment. The princess couldn't help but laugh at her worried look.

"Why? Are you afraid that I will blame the Crown Prince's Consort?"

Yu Cui's heart tightened, and she knelt down hurriedly to explain, "Your Highness, please understand. I dare not do that. But what the Crown Prince's Consort wants is indeed beneficial to the Marquis' Mansion. If it is inappropriate, I will refuse it right away."

"You!" The princess chuckled and helped Yucui up. "When did I ever say it was inappropriate? I'm just too pleased."

"Many of the shops in the Marquis' Mansion are just for show. If we can successfully open a medicine shop, it will be a huge source of income in the future."

"Providing porridge to help the poor is a great act. Whoever mentions this will look at the Marquis's Mansion in a different light."

"Jinhua can think about these things, which shows that she is sincere to the Marquis' Mansion. I am not crazy, so how can I oppose it?"

Yucui saw that she had misunderstood, and lowered her head with a red face, "It was my fault that I was too impatient. Please punish me, Your Highness."

"Why should I punish you? You have been with me for many years. You are able to stand up for the Crown Prince's wife, which shows that she is really capable. Go and help her prepare. These two things are easier said than done!"

After getting the eldest princess's consent, Yucui immediately went to tell Su Jinhua, and this consent was already expected by Su Jinhua.

"Miss, you are so awesome. The princess really agreed." Banxia was still a little confused and said with great admiration.

"These two things are all beneficial to the Marquis's Mansion, so mother will certainly agree to them."

……

The next day, as Su Jinhua was about to pay his respects to the Princess, he was stopped by Yucui.

"Princess, His Highness has ordered that you don't need to come to pay respects anymore. I will stop you every time you come. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Su Jinhua smiled and said, "Then I won't go in and disturb you. How is mother doing?"

"Your Highness is in good condition, Princess Consort, don't worry."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Yucui suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, Princess, the three concubines in the mansion will return home tomorrow and will come to pay their respects to you. What do you think..."

Su Jinhua paused, and suddenly remembered that in her previous life, the prince did have three concubines, but since she married into the Marquis's Mansion, she had never seen them.

Seeing the puzzled look on her face, Yucui immediately said, "These concubines have been kept in the other courtyard. The princess has specially allowed them to return to the palace tomorrow."

The prince's concubine has been kept in the other courtyard, which is a bit strange, but Su Jinhua did not ask too much, nodded and said: "Since I'm back home, I have to meet them, but I don't know who these three are?"

Su Jinhua had no intention of vying for favor, but the women in the inner palace all made a living by vying for favor. She knew very little about these three people in her previous life, and knowing a little or two in advance could avoid a lot of trouble.

Yucui was of course willing to help Su Jinhua, and immediately introduced the three concubines in detail.

The first concubine to enter the family was Gao Jinyu, whose maiden name was Gao Jinyu. Her father was a Yuanwailang, who assisted the doctor in handling some yamen affairs.

The second concubine, Ji, was named Ji Fang. Someone in her family served as a guard in the palace.

The last and youngest one is Aunt Shen, Shen Jingshu.

The Shen family runs a Suzhou embroidery shop. They are shy and don’t like to talk much.

After getting to know these three people, Su Jinhua had a plan in mind.

"Banxia, ​​go prepare three gifts for my three sisters tomorrow."

"Yes."

At night, Su Jinhua read by lamplight with a booklet at hand, and wrote something down from time to time.

If you want to open a medicine shop, you naturally have to record the herbs grown throughout the year. The more detailed the better.

Su Jinhua stopped writing until his eyes ached. He closed the book and realized it was already late at night.

He immediately closed the book and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Su Jinhua got up earlier than usual because he wanted to meet the three concubines. But just after he finished washing up, three people came leisurely outside the courtyard gate.

"Banxia, ​​go and take a look."

Thinking that they must be the three concubines, Banxia hurried to the door and greeted the three concubines into the yard.

Each of the three people has their own beauty, and I have to say that Gu Yanan has a good taste.

Su Jinhua had a gentle face and eyes that were soft yet sharp. She sat in the main seat and looked at the three people with grace and elegance.

She is now the Crown Prince's Consort and will be the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion in the future, so naturally she has to act like a mistress.

Before you understand their personalities, you can't be too arrogant or too humble, you have to strike the right balance.

The sunlight shines through the carved window lattices onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows.

Ji Fang was dressed in gorgeous clothes and wore a pearl hairpin on her head. She dressed in a high-profile manner, which showed off her aunt's vulgarity to the fullest.

Under the heavy makeup, she seemed to be able to overshadow Su Jinhua.

She walked up to Su Jinhua, a smug smile on her lips, and said in a soft voice, "Greetings to my sister."

There was a hint of arrogance and disdain in his tone, and it was obvious that he did not take the mistress seriously.

Su Jinhua looked at her coldly and nodded.

Xiufang was a little embarrassed, but recovered quickly, keeping a smug smile on her face, but a hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes.

Gao Jinyu had a smile on her face, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. She was wearing a blue dress and a lot of head ornaments on her head. She was just a little more low-key than Ji Fang. She bowed slightly and said, "Greetings to my sister."

Su Jinhua smiled faintly and nodded. Finally, it was Shen Jingshu's turn. Perhaps because she was the last to arrive and was very young, she still looked immature. She lowered her head slightly and did not dare to look up at Su Jinhua. She was dressed simply and her voice was soft and tiny when she greeted him.

"Greetings to my sister."

"Please stand up quickly and sit down. Don't be restrained." Although the tone was calm, it revealed majesty and unquestionableness.

The three of them sat down, and Su Jinhua signaled Banxia to serve tea and pastries.

His eyes specifically looked at Shen Jingshu. The young girl was sitting aside with her head lowered. After sitting down, she did not dare to look directly at Su Jinhua. She was twisting her handkerchief in her hand intentionally or unintentionally.

After some greetings, Su Jinhua asked Banxia to take out the gifts and placed three brocade boxes next to the three people.

"Thank you for the gift, sister. I heard that you are always generous. It is a great blessing for us to be able to get along with you." Gao Jinyu chuckled and put the box away.

"As long as my sisters like it."

There was impatience in Ji Fang's eyes. She was finally summoned back to the Marquis' Mansion, but ended up setting out on the journey in the middle of the night. She first went to pay her respects to the eldest princess, and then came here. She was feeling very sleepy now.

"Have you paid your respects to your mother?" Su Jinhua suddenly asked.

"I've already gone, don't worry, sister." Gao Jinyu nodded. She didn't expect Su Jinhua to ask this right away. She really acted like a mistress.

"My mother is in poor health and has not recovered recently. I would like to recite Buddhist scriptures with my sisters and pray to the Buddha for my mother to recover soon."

It seemed that Su Jinhua just mentioned it casually, but in fact he was quietly observing the few people, who was happy to accept it and who was pretending to refuse. From this, we can see how cunning he was.
