Xing Er, who was following Li Wanrong, disagreed with Li Wanrong's decision to sell inferior goods at the cloth shop and the pastry shop in order to cut costs and still sell them at the original prices: "Auntie Li, I think we should lower the prices of the cloth shop and the pastry shop."

"That won't do." Xing'er was Li Wanrong's personal maid, and Li Wanrong was more patient with her: "If you lower the price, how can I make money? What's more, the store is located in the most prosperous area of ​​the street, so it is reasonable to charge the original price."

"What if customers come to the Prince's Mansion to cause trouble?"

Li Wanrong looked nonchalant: "By that time, the money will have been obtained, so let them do whatever they want."

"It will be difficult to report to the Prince." Xing'er felt that Li Wanrong was becoming more and more daring. In order to make money, she not only offended the noble families in the capital, but also pushed the Prince's Mansion to the forefront.

"It's okay. The prince is angry. I can just comfort him." Li Wanrong did this because she wanted to keep some money in her hand to do things. The prince's mansion had a lot of jewelry and gold, but not much silver. All the gold was registered, and she couldn't exchange it for silver. She could only make some moves at the cloth shop and the snack shop: "The prince shouldn't be angry with me for such a thing."

Xing'er pursed her lips and did not respond. She felt that the prince would definitely be angry, and if the matter got out of hand, the prince's mansion would lose all face. Li Wanrong now would not listen to anyone and insisted on doing her own thing, so she would not try to persuade her.

The master and servant collected the silver from other shops and returned to the Prince's Mansion.

Seeing many people carrying sacks coming in and out of the door, Li Wanrong was very curious and grabbed the farmhand carrying the sacks and asked, "What are you moving to the Prince's Mansion?

"Rice. The Princess bought several hundred kilograms of rice from various rice shops in the capital and asked us to deliver it to the Prince's Mansion."

Li Wanrong asked in confusion, "The Prince's Mansion purchases rice every day. There is rice in the mansion. Why did she buy so much rice?"

"We are the shop's farmhands. We don't know why the Princess wants to buy so much rice." After saying that, the farmhand ignored Li Wanrong and continued to carry the sacks into the Prince's Mansion.

Li Wanrong was dumbfounded when she saw the endless stream of horse-drawn carriages delivering rice to the Prince's Mansion. She didn't understand what He Shulan was trying to do. Several thousand kilograms of rice were enough to feed the people in the Prince's Mansion for seven or eight years.

She snorted coldly. Don't even think about taking this money out of the Prince's Mansion's account.

……

He Shulan bought the rice with her own money. The rice was not kept in the warehouse of the Prince's Mansion, but in two empty rooms in the east wing of her own yard.

The wing was filled to the brim with several thousand kilograms of rice, waiting for the farmhands to move all the rice.

He Shulan gave everyone a small red envelope: "Thank you for your hard work."

The farmhands wiped the sweat from their foreheads. It was the first time for them to receive red envelopes from their employers after finishing their work. They took them happily. The red envelopes were not small, at least one or two taels of silver, which was more than what the owner of the rice shop gave them.

For a moment, these farmhands didn't know why He Shulan gave them so much silver.

He Shulan gave so much silver to the farmhands for a purpose, of course: "I hope you won't spread the news that I bought several hundred kilograms of rice."

It was just a few thousand kilograms of rice. I don't understand why He Shulan concealed it. After the farmhand received the money, he would naturally shut up: "Okay."

After the farmhands left, He Shulan locked the yard of the east wing. When the time came, refugees would flood into the capital. The rice would not only be gold, but could also save lives.

……

Li Wanrong sat under a big tree in the yard, drinking scented tea, waiting for He Shulan to send someone to ask her for money.

She waited until dark, but still didn't see any sign of it. She completely lost her patience and asked, "Why hasn't He Shulan come to see me yet?"

Xing Er replied: "The rice may have been bought by the Princess herself, and it was not paid from the Prince's Mansion's account."

"Thousands of kilograms of rice would cost a lot of silver. Where would she get so much silver?"

Xing Er glanced at Li Wanrong who was speaking: "The Princess of the County is of high birth. When she got married, the He Mansion not only gave her a dowry, but also a betrothal gift from the Prince's Mansion. She doesn't need to rely on the Prince's Mansion in her life."

Li Wanrong was stunned. When her soul traveled here, her original parents were just running a small business and barely supporting the family.

She was taken into the Prince's Mansion by the Prince, and her parents gave her all their belongings, including twenty taels of silver. When she arrived at the Prince's Mansion, she lived on the silver given by the Prince. Thinking of the difference between her and He Shulan, she secretly vowed that she would make a fortune in ancient times and surpass He Shulan.

……

The snack shop and cloth shop did what Li Wanrong asked. In a month, they saved a lot of money and made a lot of money.

This made Li Wanrong very excited. Looking at the mountain of silver, the smile on her face became even bigger. If she continued like this, she could use the money she earned to open a restaurant next year.

She took out three silver notes worth ten thousand taels and put them into the account of the Prince's Mansion. She put the rest of the silver in a wooden box.

As the days passed, the money in Li Wanrong's small treasury increased. She walked with a breeze every day and was extremely proud of herself.

She was checking the accounts with the account book in her hand, while the prince was sitting beside her leisurely drinking tea and accompanying Li Wanrong. At this time, the servant rushed in and said, "Prince, something bad has happened in the snack shop."

The prince asked seriously, "What happened?"

"The Junior Official of the Dali Temple, his young son ate the snacks from our store. He suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and he surrounded the store with his men, threatening to seek justice."

"What?" The prince was shocked. "The pastry shop has been open for so many years and nothing has ever happened. What happened?"

The servant was already frightened out of his wits: "I don't know what's going on either."

The prince came to the snack shop in a hurry. The Shaoqing of Dali Temple did not smash the shop for the sake of the prince's kindness, but just surrounded the shop and made trouble.

The prince pulled the Dali Temple Shaoqing aside and said, "The Xindian shop has been open for business for so many years, how could they poison it? I will immediately ask the imperial physician in the palace to check on your son. It is very likely that he has an upset stomach."

The Dali Temple Shaoqing thought about it and realized that his youngest son did not have any other symptoms except vomiting and diarrhea: "Okay."

After sending the people away, the prince broke out in a cold sweat on his back. Before he could catch his breath, people from Lianshan came one after another to cause trouble for the snack shop.

Most of them were high-ranking officials in the capital, as well as children and the elderly at home. After eating the snacks in the shop, they developed different physical symptoms.

They all gathered at the door of the snack shop and made trouble. They were very emotional and threatened to report to the police. This scared the prince. If he was sued, he would not be able to stay in the capital anymore.

I found the manager of the snack shop and asked, "What is going on?"
