I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

The girl froze for a moment and looked up.

The moment her eyes met Xie Wuyi, a trace of astonishment flashed in the girl's eyes, she stood up involuntarily, and trembled as if she was about to cry with joy: "Your Highness..."

After calling out, before Shui Jing could react, she stepped over the small case, dragged the two of them into the shop, and shouted excitedly into the shop as she walked, "Mother! Mother—see who's coming Already!"

The bead curtain on the door was cracked by the collision, Shui Jing didn't even have time to raise his hand to push it away, so he had to let it slap his head and face, and then slid behind his shoulders.

Although Shui Jing didn't know this girl, she could probably guess her identity, presumably she and her mother were also part of the group of people who had taken refuge in Yudu before.

After being disturbed by the girl's voice, all the busy embroiderers in the shop stopped what they were doing, and all raised their heads to look at the door. After seeing who was coming, most of the embroiderers were at a loss, but a few There was an obvious look of surprise on his face.

With such a distinction, it is easy to see which of them have stayed in Yudu.

Qing Luo's mother quickly came forward, almost blurting out: "Dian..."

As soon as she said a word, she seemed to suddenly realize something, turned around and ordered a few embroidered ladies to stay, and said to the rest of the people: "There is no need to rush work today, you should go back and rest first."

This woman was obviously someone who could talk in this shop, after she spoke, those embroiderers who were not selected all packed up their embroidery racks and left, closing the shop door before they left.

As soon as the door of the shop was closed, the woman hurriedly pulled Qing Luo over, knelt down with all the embroiderers left in the shop as if they had made an appointment, and said with a sob: "Your Highness..."

Xie Wuyi immediately reached out to help the mother and daughter up, and said to everyone: "Get up, I am no longer your highness, so there is no need to be like this."

Everyone stood up slowly, most of them had red eyes, and some of the younger ones secretly wiped away their tears, all speechless for a while.

Xie Wuyi looked around them, smiled wryly and said, "Why are you crying, am I fine?"

It was fine if he didn't say anything, as soon as the words came out, even the few who hadn't cried at first shed tears, and there was a sound of sobbing in the shop.

Xie Wuyi sighed lightly, and asked Qing Luo, "Where's Yanque?"

Qing Luo was still calm, sniffing his nose with red eyes, and said: "We have more than one shop in the city, she went to check accounts everywhere today, this meeting is about the same..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a puzzled question from outside the door: "Huh? Why is the door closed so early today? Qingluo? Qingluo——"

The shop door was pushed open with a "squeak", and Yanque froze as soon as she stepped over the threshold with one foot.

To Shui Jing's surprise, she neither exclaimed nor cried, but took back the foot that had crossed the threshold, retreated outside and closed the door again.

Everyone in the shop looked at each other, Shui Jing and Xie Wuyi looked at each other, but they didn't quite understand what was going on.

A moment later, the door was pushed open again.

This time, Yanque stood outside the door with her eyes closed, chanting something silently, and opened her eyes suddenly after finishing the chanting.

After seeing Shui Jing's reconciliation again, she finally strode across the threshold and flew into the arms of the two, tightly wrapping around their waists, as if fearing that they would disappear.

Shui Jing was amused by her, lowered his head and touched her head and said, "Why didn't you come in just now?"

Yanque buried her face in the waists of the two, and said in a muffled voice, "I thought it was a dream..."

Qing Luoniang went to close the shop door, came back and patted Yanque on the back and said: "Okay, it's not a dream, didn't you just say that you will ask for credit when you find His Highness? Now that His Highness is here, it's not too soon invite?"

Yanque moved his head from side to side and rubbed his head on the clothes of the two of them, then let go of his hands and raised his head, his eyes were red, and there were still some tears in the corners of his eyes. It was obvious that the rubbing just now was to wipe away the tears, but he didn't Can't hide the traces of crying.

Xie Wuyi reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "Credit?"

Yanque showed a bit of shyness, frowned, poked Qing Luoniang with her elbow, and said angrily, "Aunt Qing, why are you talking about everything, I'm just joking..."

"Huh? Shy?" Qing Luo seemed to have discovered something unbelievable, and teased, "Our iron girl is also shy. If this spreads to other people's ears, no one will believe it!"

"Sister Qing!" Yanque glared at her, blushing even more.

Qing Luo said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything, Miss Tie is not just kidding when she gets angry."

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, and sit down first."

Aunt Qing invited everyone to sit down, the girls calmed down a little, and stopped crying, they gathered around Xie Wuyi and Shui Jing and talked about what happened in the past two years.

When they arrived in Sangdu two years ago, they first opened an embroidery workshop in the south of the city. They thought that there would be no trouble in an embroidery house in Sangdi, which is famous for mulberry embroidery, but unexpectedly, the situation in Sangdi at that time was already different from the past.

After Sangdi was included in the Daluan map, Daluan exempted Qiong, Sang, and Baihe from taxation for three years. This should not have shaken the agricultural and commercial situation in Sangdi, but it was the last year of the tax exemption period. , Daluan promulgated another decree of "encouraging reclamation", promising that all new land reclaimed during the tax-free period will be owned by the people who reclaimed it, and after the tax-free period expires, the output on these new land can enjoy tax cut in half.

As soon as this order came out, many merchants in Sangdi chose to abandon business and return to farming, and joined the ranks of reclaiming new land with their families.As a result, the number of merchants in Sangdi dropped sharply. When Yanque and the others arrived in Sangdu, what they saw was a situation of withered shops.

The Yunyan Embroidery Mansion was opened in Sangdu at this time, which can be regarded as occupying the best time.

At the same time, the sudden increase in the number of farmers has led to a rapid increase in crop production. Once the production exceeds the supply, the price will inevitably drop and then drop. It's getting higher and higher.

Hearing this, Shui Jing couldn't help but glance at Xie Wuyi, only to see that there was no surprise in his eyes, as if he had expected all this.

It wasn't until this time that Shui Jing realized that Xie Wuyi chose Sangdu when he sent Yanque away. The reasons for choosing Sangdu were more than the two he had speculated before. Second, the change in the agricultural and commercial situation in the mulberry land caused by Daluan's "reward for reclamation" may also be one of his considerations.

When merchants turned to farming one after another, Sangdu pavements were naturally no longer in short supply. Coupled with the low price of raw materials caused by the increase in crop production, starting a business at this time must be profitable.

And Yanque did not disappoint Xie Wuyi's painstaking efforts, let alone the way of doing business that he had learned from the treasury master in Yu Palace.

Half a year after the opening of the first embroidery mansion in the south of the city, she took out all the profits and sold more than [-] shops in Sangdu in one fell swoop.

From the second year onwards, she extended her business to other cities around Sangdu, and then further "spread branches and leaves". Today, almost every city in Sangdi has several companies named "Yunyan". shops.

Hearing what Aunt Qing said, Xie Wuyi finally showed some surprise, and Shui Jing also looked at Yanque in disbelief.

You must know that she is only ten years old now, and she was only eight years old two years ago. Who would have thought that such a little girl could make such waves in the business world of Sangdi in just two years?

Shui Jing even clearly remembered how the three-year-old baby was nearly injured by a sharp sword when they first met at the rockery in Yugong, and how she lay on Xie Wuyi's shoulders, pouting and crying, and how they returned from Anyu Pass. In Beijing, she looked aggrieved because she hadn't seen her for several months, and when the epiphyllum that Xie Wuyi brought out faded back then, she clumsily smoothed things over and said that the petals could be used to make pastries.

Seeing the two of them looking at her, Yanque seemed a little embarrassed, lowered her head and scratched the tip of her nose.

Aunt Qing lovingly touched her head, and said: "Outsiders all know that our boss is a strong girl, who is shrewd and experienced in strategizing at a young age. Who knows how much effort she has put in secretly and how much suffering she has suffered? Ordinary people My child is still acting coquettishly at this age, but she has to carry the livelihood of so many people, sometimes watching her little body running around, I really feel..."

While talking, Aunt Qing choked up again, Yanque hurriedly patted her on the back and comforted her: "Aunt Qing, don't always think like this, who can not suffer a little in this life? Since eating early and eating late I have to eat everything, why not eat it early, so that the future will be the end of all hardships? Besides, I really don't feel bitter, how many parents outside compare me with their own children all day long, and I can't be proud of it!"

Qing Luo chimed in and said, "That's right, mother, I've heard it countless times, but there are plenty of people out there who are jealous of us."

Aunt Qing wiped away her tears, scratched the tip of Yanque's nose and said in reproach: "Okay, I know you have such a small mouth, I definitely can't say it. Fortunately, now that His Highness has returned safely, you can feel at ease."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to Xie Wuyi and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late at night, so the rest of us will go back first."

She obviously wanted to give Yanque and the others some time to reminisce, Xie Wuyi didn't stop her, she nodded, and Aunt Qing pulled Qing Luo to stand up, and all the embroidered mothers bowed and left.

The three of Shui Jing were left in the shop, and the streets outside the shop were no longer noisy because of nightfall, and the surroundings suddenly seemed very quiet.

Yanque looked at the two, blinked and smiled, "I still feel like I'm dreaming."

Shui Jing pinched the tip of her nose and asked, "Where's Aunt Zhou?"

The smile on Yanque's face froze, the light in her eyes dimmed, and she lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "She's gone."

"Leaving?" Shui Jing was taken aback for a moment, then saw Yanque's red eyes again, and suddenly realized that the word "go" probably didn't mean "leave", and said hesitantly, "She..."

Yanque pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment, then said, "Last winter, she had a sudden illness...and she couldn't survive until the beginning of spring."

Shui Jing and Xie Wuyi looked at each other, both of them frowned slightly, and their hearts pulled hard.

Yanque has been brought up by Aunt Zhou since entering the palace, and the bond between the two is no less than that of a mother and daughter. It is hard to imagine how an eight or nine-year-old child survived such bereavement.

Yanque calmed down, took a deep breath and forced out a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this, where have the prince and grand master been for the past two years?"

Shui Jing didn't intend to continue to make her sad, so he followed her words and briefly talked about what he had done in the past two years.

When he heard the word "Fuguo", Yanque didn't show any surprise, but just nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will take inventory of these shops and transfer them out as soon as possible."

Xie Wuyi was startled, and said, "Why?"
