Aunt Mei hugged Liu Chen's arm and said, "You are stupid. You are the brother-in-law of the Princess of the County. You came to her in person. She will agree for the sake of face."

Liu Chen thought about this and felt that it made sense. He reached out and hugged Aunt Mei in his arms: "You are still the best. Unlike Madam, you only make me angry."

"We can't help it. Madam is the daughter of a wealthy family. We have to obey her will."

Liu Chen disliked He Shuzhen more and more.

The next day

Liu Chen came to the Prince's Mansion. Standing at the door, she was amazed by the luxurious mansion.

No wonder everyone wants to climb up the social ladder; this kind of high-class life is what everyone yearns for.

The servant guarding the gate knew Liu Chen's identity and did not let him in: "You came suddenly, wait at the door for a while, I will go in and report."

"Okay." Liu Chen also came at the last minute and had no time to submit the invitation.

When He Shulan learned that Liu Chen came to ask for a meeting, she was surprised: "Why did she come to my house to see me?"

"I don't know, Master Liu is waiting at the gate now."

He Shulan thought for a long time, but she didn't know why Liu Chen came to the mansion to see her. He had already arrived at the door, so she had to meet him: "Take Master Liu to the living room."

She came to the hall and Liu Chen was already sitting in his seat.

Liu Chen saw He Shulan stand up nervously.

He Shulan sat in the main seat and looked at Liu Chen: "Why did you come to the mansion to see me?"

Liu Chen, who was standing there, hesitated for a long time and slowly said, "I heard that you are transporting cotton from the south to the north to sell."

Not many people knew about this matter. He Shulan didn't know how Liu Chen got the information: "It is true that this happened. Two bottles of cotton have been shipped to the north."

"You also know that the monthly salary given by the government is limited. I want to make some money with you."

He Shulan smiled faintly. Liu Chen still had some business sense: "Does He Shuzhen know about this?"

"I told her, but she disagreed. This time, I came to you privately."

He Shulan sat there without responding, wondering whether to let Liu Chen, who had never done business before, join in.

If He Shuzhen knew about this, she would definitely do something bad in secret, and by then, all her money would be gone: "There's no way I can get you to join in midway."

This implicit rejection made Liu Chen's face change, but he did not give up: "I am your brother-in-law after all, please help me and let me earn some money."

"You have never done business, so I can't let you join." He Shulan was not that stingy, but the cotton had to be shipped to the north, and she had a bad relationship with He Shuzhen, so she had many concerns.

"Just let someone else teach me. I think this isn't that difficult."

Liu Chen's words had reached this point, and He Shulan was not in a mood to refuse: "I will ask the store manager tomorrow and give you a reply then."

Liu Chen nodded excitedly: "Then I'll wait for your good news tomorrow."

Watched Liu Chen leave.

Chun Xia couldn't wait any longer: "Princess, why are you helping the Second Miss? Have you forgotten how the mother and daughter treated you before you got married?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten." He Shulan replied, "I just want to make some money. There's no need to embarrass Liu Chen. If He Shuzhen is doing something bad, then I won't be polite."

"You are so generous," Chunxia muttered.

"Accompany me to the store to find the manager, and go shopping with me." He Shulan stood up and walked out.

Chunxia hurried to catch up.

The master and servant got in the carriage and came to the shop.

The guy who was picking cotton saw He Shulan and ran over hurriedly: "Princess, why are you here?"

"Go and call the person in charge." He Shulan walked to the guest room and waited for a while.

The person in charge walked in and asked: "What does the Princess want to see me about?"

"Lord Liu, I also want to do cotton business. Please help me arrange it."

The person in charge did not respond immediately: "It is not appropriate to join in midway. Should we wait until the next batch and let Lord Liu join us in the cotton business?"

He Shulan also thought: "After this batch is finished, it will be the end of the year. When spring comes, the weather in the north will gradually become warmer. We can't sell the cotton at a good price even if we ship it over. That's why I came to you."

The head was silent for a while and said, "There are some villagers outside the capital who grow less cotton. You can let Master Liu harvest the cotton alone."

"That's a good idea, but after we harvest the cotton, how are we going to transport it to the north?"

The manager replied, "It's very simple. He collects the cotton, packs it all, marks it, and just follows our car."

He Shulan thought this was a good idea: "Just do as you say. Go to Liu's house tomorrow and tell him what to do."

"Okay." The steward sent the princess away and started to work. He was busy until night before going back.

It was still dark and we arrived at Liu's house early.

When Liu Chen learned that he was the owner of the shop in the Prince's Mansion, he quickly put on his clothes and went to the hall: "Why are you here so early?"

"There are still many things waiting for me to do in the store, so I came so early."

Liu Chen picked up the teacup on the table and handed it to the steward: "The princess asked you to come here, do you have anything to say?"

The person in charge was not vague and told Liu Chen what he had discussed with the Princess yesterday.

When Liu Chen heard that he was asked to work alone, he was a little reluctant. He wanted to take advantage of the Duke's Mansion. "Is this the only way?"

"We can't let you join in midway, so the Princess and I came up with this idea. You don't need to do the cotton harvesting yourself, you can leave it to others. After the cotton is harvested, pack it all and send it to the store. When the time comes, the caravan of the Prince's Mansion will send your cotton to the north."

These words made Liu Chen feel better: "I understand."

After watching the person in charge leave, he found Li Gao and told him about the arrangements for the Princess.

As long as he can make money, Li Gao has no opinion on how to participate: "Leave the cotton harvesting to me."

Liu Chen was thinking this: "I'll come find you after I finish my work at the government office."

Li Gao did not delay and led the servants to the outskirts of the capital. There were indeed many villagers growing cotton.

She told the villagers why she was there.

The villagers were very happy because they grew a small amount and had to deliver the cotton to the shops personally.

When Li Gao came to the village to harvest the cotton, they no longer had to run back and forth. They could immediately sell the cotton they had harvested from the fields to Li Gao.

Li Gao had been busy in the village for quite some time, and the carriage was already filled with cotton.

They worked until dark before returning to the capital and storing the harvested cotton in the warehouse.

Liu Ying saw the servants coming in and out and knew that Li Gao was going to the north to sell cotton: "You have found a way to make money."
