All-round way to money

Chu Ran came back. Compared with the rich people who wanted to eat the dishes cooked by her novice, they were more anxious about the wandering businessmen waiting for the braised pork buns.The material bag has been sold to the capital, and the sales volume is very good. It is wholesaled from Churan for five yuan a bag, and it can be sold for ten yuan a bag when it is transported to the capital. You can earn a tael of silver.Some big merchants ship thousands of bags at a time, and wholesale them to condiment shops or restaurants for eight cents. They can go back and forth in seven or eight days, and the profit of tens of taels of silver can earn hundreds of taels a month.

The material package is very small, only half the size of a palm, and thousands of packages will not delay transportation.It's really lucrative.The food pack is also very convenient, put it together with the meat, add onion and ginger cooking wine to remove the flavor, and boil it with water.The taste is very good.My family spends ten renminbi to buy a bag, stew a pot of broth, and keep adding vegetables and meat to it.Moderate people can't often eat meat, so eating it like this will taste like meat every time, which is very popular.For small restaurants, a pack of new ingredients is added every day, and a pot of old soup is boiled, which is a good dish.I don't know how to save trouble.It's a big restaurant, so it can be done.

It's not that no one prepared it according to the formula. Some powerful chefs already have their own recipes and don't bother to use other people's recipes.There are also some, the ingredients of Yunlai Restaurant are unpacked, and according to the ingredients inside, it can be matched with eight or nine. The taste is not the same, and the difference will not be much different.However, the cost of self-preparation cannot be reduced, and the cost of a package of materials costs tens of pennies, so it is better to buy ready-made ones.

This is really making money. Chu Ran now also specially bought the ingredients package for the yard and hired people.Most of the Chu family villages are her suppliers, because they only use medicinal materials from the mountains, such as licorice and wild hawthorn, which can be picked without going to the deep mountains, and the elderly and children can pick them. In addition, the business of their own restaurant is good. Even if the tofu is selling well, all the beans planted around the village are harvested. With the addition of prey, the village has a stable place to buy, and its income has doubled.The kilns don't even know how to open cellars, they open when there is an order, and they go to the mountains to collect herbs when there is no order.It's also pretty good.The herbs are roughly processed in the village.Send it to the county town, and then separate each person to be responsible for a part. The water used to wash and soak the medicinal materials is the water soaked in Yushui stones. The medicinal materials themselves have a little bit of spiritual energy. Than is also her master.After the ingredients are mixed, they are packaged in boiled coarse cloth in the final packaging workshop.The larger the quantity, the lower the cost.As more and more sales are made, it is okay to say that you are making money every day.

It's fun to collect money every day, isn't it sweet?Why stay in the capital and engage in house fights?If you want an identity but no identity, you want a background without a background, and you don't even have the most basic talent and appearance, what's there to argue about?Besides, as long as Xiao Yu's heart remains unchanged, he is already invincible.How to let himself go back in a good light and be recognized by others, isn't that what he should do?

I earn more than the palace earns in a year, so I don't have to rely on anyone, so I naturally have confidence.Whether it's the emperor or Mu Wanru, since they care about their reputation and are constantly making use of their reputation and public opinion, then they are safe.Anyway, she is the second prince's savior and Ning Xin's biological mother.

Therefore, Chu Ran was very stable and not in a hurry.

As time passed day by day, Father Chu and Mother Chu couldn't hold back anymore.

A month later, General Ning Xiaoning came first.

General Ning drove lightly, and came with only a few personal guards.Along with him, there is also a servant in the palace, one named Qin Bao, he is here on behalf of the empress dowager and the emperor, his attitude is a bit arrogant, to the point of being too much, and he also brought ten carts of gold and silver treasures, precious Medicinal cloth or something.He said he was grateful to the Chu family for their life-saving grace to King Ning, and for their hard work in raising Ning Xin.

When Chu Polu saw General Ning, he was so excited that he cried, "General, I haven't seen you for 30 years. I'm so happy to see you in good health. I didn't expect that we still have such What about the fate of my son. The uncle is also true. He has been hiding his identity all the time. I didn't even know that he was King Ning. If I knew, I would send the prince back to the capital myself even if I tried my best. Ah, no. It's not the prince's fault, it's because I don't know Mount Tai, I'm sorry, General..."

The general followed Chu Polu holding hands and crying, "Vice General Chu, you can't say that. When you were the deputy general of the forward battalion, we were born and died together so many times. We are brothers. You still hurt me to save me." I was injured, I thought I owed you my life. You saved King Ning again, and our nephew and uncle owed your Chu family two lives. King Ning has made it clear to the emperor that he was severely punished. I was framed by the king, and I was afraid of being killed when I returned to Beijing, so I kept hiding my identity. I can't blame you at all. We owe our fathers two lives. I'm late for making you work so hard. The emperor and the emperor The empress also meant the same thing, and she sent so much money, so you can be a rich man at home without worrying about it..." blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Chu Polu was so moved that he said, "General, I didn't work hard at all. Although I haven't become rich and rich these years, I have no worries about food and clothing. I am really sorry for you. I bought this This restaurant pawned the two pearls that you bestowed on me back then. I am ashamed to see you..." Come on...

Chu Ran and Chu Niang watched the two uncles perform on the sidelines, and got goosebumps all over their bodies, it was enough.You two are also acting school.They also plugged all the previous loopholes tacitly, and even found the source of the pearl.The two of them didn't know whether the general had really rewarded Chu Polu with pearls, anyway, Chu Niang had been with him for decades and had never seen him.We don't know how they can get on with each other. Anyway, they all say their own things, and they pass the news face to face, and it's called slippery.Qin Bao must not have heard it.On the sidelines, he advised the general not to get too excited.

After a long meal, they were taken to Chu Ran and Xiao Yu's home for reception.Originally, I should have invited Father Chu to the residence of Mother Chu, but this was not to let the General and Qin Bao also see the place where King Ning lived for the past few years.

"Although the courtyard is not big, it is very elegant. It is the style that King Ning likes." When Qin Bao saw the small courtyard, he disliked it so much that the general was quite satisfied with the small courtyard.He is a man who has led the army at the border for a long time, and he has never experienced any hardships. Although the sparrow in this small courtyard is small, it has all internal organs, and it is already quite good.There are also facilities for people with disabilities everywhere in the yard, and it can be seen that they are very attentive.In fact, for people with limited mobility, a smaller space is more convenient.

Father Chu took a look back and forth, including the unfinished handicrafts in the Xiaokua courtyard and the elementary school.Chu Ran and Chu Niang cooked in person. In the small kitchen at home, they cooked six dishes and one soup to greet the guests.

After eating, drinking and drinking for three rounds and eating five flavors, the general mentioned the most important task of this visit to Father Chu and Mother Chu, "I think you all know the situation in Prince Ning's mansion by now. Miss Mu After all, I have been in the palace for so long, and I have passed the Ming Road. The queen mother and the emperor are not easy to deal with. The queen mother also knows that it is a grievance to let the eldest niece be the side concubine. Miss Mu invited her to go to Dabaoguo Temple to clean up. But we can't do that, can we? Their daughters are also daughters, right? If anyone dares to treat Ning Xin like this in the future, we have to fight him hard, don't we? The queen means, let me ask my eldest niece, let's take a step back and do it Wife Ping, you and the Mu family are both Consort Ning, regardless of priorities, okay?"

The general put his posture very low, and didn't mention the Queen Mother's edict or the Empress Dowager's edict, but only talked about family affection and etiquette.

Father Chu and Mother Chu were not stupid, so of course they were unhappy.Who are you fooling?Returning a wife, saying that there is no distinction between priorities, so what is Mu's background?After being a family member in the palace for so long, it is natural to have a priority.Once my own daughter enters the palace, shouldn't she let the other party decide?

But as a parent, what can you do?After all, I have to think about my daughter, so that I can be a family.It all depends on the girl and what she thinks.

Chu Ran didn't say whether he agreed or disagreed, but asked the general, "What did the prince say? Does he agree with Ping's wife's proposal?"

Ning Xiao: ...

Does he want to agree that I still use it here to chat with you?

The stinky boy has been in the market for a few years, and he has not learned anything else. He has learned the tricks of being a rascal. After returning to Beijing for such a long time, he has never returned to Prince Ning's Mansion. He has been taking Ning Xin in the Queen Mother's Fengyi Palace live.Seeing the imperial physician several times a day, asking about the Queen Mother's health several times, no one can criticize my filial piety.Then no matter if it is the queen mother or the emperor, as long as the palace is mentioned, he will have a dead face, saying that his leg is useless, and he can't help the emperor's brother to share his worries.He also said that he couldn't even live a normal life, how hard it was to live these years, how difficult it was.Also, how badly he was trapped by people, and how injured he was when he fell off the mountain. If Chu Ran hadn't rescued him, he would have died many years ago.It took more than half a month in a coma before he woke up, and it took more than half a year for his injuries to heal. It was all taken care of by Chu Ran himself that made him recover so well.He couldn't do without Chu Ran, whatever, and blocked everything that other people wanted to say.

Although he didn't go back to the mansion, he didn't stay out. He took Ning Xin out of the palace to go shopping. It's only been six years. Many people still recognize him, so he just chatted with him in various ways.The reputation of the former King Li was completely blackened. To be honest, it was King Li who caused him to fall off the mountain, and because he was afraid of being murdered by King Li when he came back, he dared not return to Beijing or anything.Then, every time I see something good, I will make it up with Ning Xin, and the father will talk about things from history to everything, and the girl will talk about such good things. It would be great if my mother was here. , can share with mother.The father said, it's okay, we can buy it back, and when the queen mother recovers, we will go back to find your mother.

People in the capital know that King Ning married his savior and gave birth to a daughter.Madam also went back to Beijing with him, but because there was already a Concubine Ning in Beijing, she went back to her hometown without saying a word.It's no secret that Princess Ning in the capital is Mu Xiang's legitimate daughter.Who doesn't have an opinion of their own, and it's this kind of story that can be written into a storybook.It was passed around, and at the beginning, the direction of public opinion was still on Miss Mu's side, saying that she was like Wang Baochuan who had been guarding the cold cellar for 18 years, guarding the house, respecting her in-laws, and waiting for her husband to return.It is also said that Chu Ran has self-knowledge, knows that he is not worthy of the prince, and goes back to live his own life honestly.Slowly, as more and more people saw King Ning's father and daughter, and heard more and more things about Chu Ran, the people in the capital pieced together a self-improvement and self-reliance from the words and phrases. The image of bravery and kindness.I was busy day and night, taking care of my handicapped husband, raising my daughter, and willingly giving up my status as a princess in order not to embarrass my husband.Think again from Chu Ran's point of view, yo, what did that Miss Mu do?Isn't it just relying on the marriage contract to dominate the seat of Princess Ning?It is said that after so many years, her father is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and he is even more well-clothed and well-fed when he arrives at the palace. What has she paid for it?Have you ever suffered?Don't talk about the marriage contract, the late emperor said that he would make her princess, but he couldn't find anyone with better conditions than King Ning.How much benefit has the Mu family benefited from the name of Concubine Ning and her reputation of loyalty?How much benefit has she gained over the years?What happened to the widow?There are too many widows in the world, just ask, if there are so many people who are willing to be widows if she has this condition.

Compared with that ugly wife from a poor family, how is she doing these things?And those who are not officially married, have no name and no title, aren't they just relying on their family background to suppress others and squeeze out their wives who are supposed to be obedient in name?You have to be a princess after a few years, and you can't live without the palace?Then why don't you think about it, how can that ugly wife survive when she returns to her hometown without her husband or children?You have a family background and a background, and you are still perfect, and there is no taboo to remarry.What about others?It's really going to be lonely for the rest of your life.

WTF.

At the beginning, there were still some old pedants, talking about the three obediences, the four virtues, the three cardinal principles, and the five constant women's virtues, but women couldn't help but stand on the side of ugly wives.What's the matter?I worked so hard to support my family, serve my disabled husband, and raise my daughter. I was exhausted like a dog. In the end, I had to give up my husband and daughter, as well as the position of the main wife, and find a place for myself to fend for myself. How about dying?Why?Are women so worthless?We deserve to be exhausted and ask for nothing?

fuck you.

Gradually, more and more people stood in the clear, and the public opinion fell from one side to evenly matched, and then to the other side.It was under the pressure of this kind of public opinion that Mu Wanru went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother, and invited her to go to Dabaoguo Temple to clean up and pray for the Queen Mother and Daqi.

After entering the palace with the front foot, word spread that she asked to become a monk herself.The public opinion turned to her again.

If it is said that there is no artificial effort, ghosts will not believe it.

Anyway, the two women only met once, but they have been talking for several rounds in the distance.

Everyone is using public opinion.It's not that the emperor and the queen can't see it. It's useless for the emperor to call King Ning to the Qinzheng Hall to scold him a few times. King Ning is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. I want my wife, I want Chu, I don't even want to look at Mu's, whoever I love.A bad wife doesn't go to court, no matter how much you look down on her, I think she's good at anything.I just want to live a happy life with her, and I don't want to be a prince. If you are my own brother, don't make things difficult for me.I'm already like this, I can't do anything, I just want my wife and children to be hot on the bed, brother, can't you satisfy me?

By the way, the emperor can't persuade your wife to be like that, so why are you reluctant?He absolutely dare not say this, not in front of the Queen, even when the two brothers are around, he can't say it, no matter how much he thinks in his heart, he can't say it.Tell me what he has become.The most is to get rid of the servants. When the two brothers are talking about something private, wouldn't it be good to persuade them to enjoy the blessings of everyone?Take both of them, and there will be no troubles, what a great thing.That Miss Mu knows the book and answers the gift, she is beautiful and intelligent, and she is also a good match.However, his younger brother didn't understand his painstaking efforts. He hugged his shoulders and shivered, saying that if he dared to have the intention of enjoying the blessings of everyone, and his wife found out, she could break his leg again. Never dare.

That cowardly look made the emperor so angry that he scolded him again.An injunction was also issued not to allow King Ning to go out and wander around again.

You can only do so much, too hard or too soft.

The queen mother even tried to pretend to be sick, cry and make trouble, but she didn't persuade her own son.As soon as she did it, her precious son cried as if he was going to die for his mother.Then she cried, saying that when he and brother Huang were young, it was very difficult for the mother to lead the two brothers, and how miserable it was for them to be bullied by the concubine Chong.Also, when the former queen was alive, my mother had to respect the queen, and was bullied by the concubine. For their brothers, life was so hard and so on.In this way, when it comes to the empress dowager's sadness, I immediately sympathize with Chu Ran, and feel that Chu Ran has not been easy these years.There is no way to persuade.

Prime Minister Mu is also a ruthless person. When he went to the court, he knelt down in court and pleaded guilty to the emperor, saying that his daughter made the emperor difficult. People said that he bullied others, so he asked the emperor to allow him to sue. Let's go back home, as a courtier, it is already a crime not to share the emperor's worries and problems, but to embarrass the emperor, it is even more sinful and worthy of death.

Can Xiao Yu be afraid of him?When he turned around, he was pushed to the court, and he pleaded guilty to Prime Minister Mu, saying that he had delayed Miss Mu, but he had never returned to the palace, and he had a clean relationship with Miss Mu, so he could accept Miss Mu as his righteous sister.But Duan Juan does not dare to enjoy the blessings of being equal to others, he is not worthy.He also told how he was harmed by King Li, how his wife rescued him, and how the three members of the Chu family helped him heal his illness.He also said that it was he who asked for marriage with Chu Ran at the beginning, not forced by the girl from the Chu family.In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as long as you say something to the prime minister, such a woman should not be allowed to be a wife, and should not be treated wholeheartedly. If you can go and say this in front of the three members of the Chu family, then I will agree Miss Mu's status as an equal wife.

It's no wonder he dared to say that Prime Minister Mu was overwhelmed by a single operation.That is to offend women all over the world. If he dares to say this, then the prime minister will never be able to sit again.

Back and forth, just so froze.

In fact, whether it was Xiao Yu or Chu Ran, they both gave Mu Wanru a chance.As long as she said that she was willing to be King Ning's righteous sister, then she could say anything.Even if she gets married, she is perfect and has a good reputation to protect her. If she finds a dutiful and honest family, her life will not be bad.Even if she doesn't get married, with her reputation and family background, she will be able to accomplish a lot in the vast world.

But she just kept silent all the time, she just didn't let go, and she couldn't let go of her identity as Princess Ning.Even if Xiao Yu's original body had an affair with her, then Chu Ran could understand, but obviously he didn't.

That can only be their own fault.Prove what you want to calculate, plot, and what you are willing to pay for your goals.

Neither General Ning nor Qin Bao shared the details with the Chu family, but they still expressed the meaning that King Ning only had Chu Ran in his heart and only wanted Chu Ran.He also told the emperor's difficulties.

Chu Ran and Xiao Yu still have this kind of tacit understanding, and they can probably guess what happened.

Seeing that her parents looked at her, she laughed, "Although I am not a talented woman, I have never read any books. But my parents have taught me since I was a child, to be loyal to the king, to respect the elders, to respect and love my husband, and to love my children. I have nothing else to do. Do it, you can't let the prince become an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person because of me. A flat wife is a flat wife. It's not that I care about the status of a flat wife. It's really for Ning Xin, so I can only wrong Ms. Mu. General, I can go back to Beijing with you, but I have two conditions."

Qin Bao's complexion is not good, dare to ask for conditions?The general's smile also faded by two points, but he still replied, "Niece, tell me."

"First, please ask the prince to buy a house for my parents in the capital. It doesn't need to be big, just enough for the old couple to live in. My parents only gave birth to me, and I can't let them grow old and have no one to depend on. Second, after entering the mansion I don't care about the affairs of the palace, but I also ask the emperor and queen to allow me to continue to do business. I don't need to run the business myself, but I have to have my own property, and I have to support my parents by myself. The emperor may allow me With these two conditions, I will follow you to Beijing."

Qin Bao's expression became ashamed, and the general's expression improved a lot, and his smile became stronger. He didn't even say that he would go back to Beijing to ask for an order, but just said, "You don't need to ask, the old man can do it." Accept." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at Chu Polu enviously, "Polu, you really gave birth to a good daughter, I am envious of you."

But the expressions of Chu Polu and Zhao Zhi are not very good, they are real parents, can they not feel sorry for their daughter?The more Chu Ran arranges the couple well, the more distressed they feel.

No matter how unhappy she is, the girl said she agreed to go to Beijing.

Then the matter of going to Beijing is considered to be settled.

The family still has such a large property here, and it will take a few days to dispose of it.

Don't sell it at all, except for the workshop of stewed pork buns, the restaurant and the house are all taken over by Aunt Chu's family.The cooks and buddies are all ready-made, and they will be protected by the signboard of Prince Ning's Mansion in the future, so it is not difficult to do business.Most importantly, Uncle Chu and Chu Qianjun's father and son's temperament did not have the ability to bully others.Don't be afraid that something bad will happen to them.

Chu's grandpa and grandma are gone, and Aunt Chu's family has been arranged, and Chu's father has nothing to worry about here.

The general was busy with affairs and had already returned to the capital, so Qin stayed to help.Back and forth, I was busy for another half a month.Chu Ran's family of three took a small box of soft goods and set off for Beijing.

Qin Bao and the general brought back the imperial treasures they had sent when they came.

It was not fast along the way.It took five days to walk three hundred miles before arriving at the capital.
