At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

After Yu Yunxin returned to her yard, she sat at the window and looked up at the moonlight. The moon was particularly bright in the unpolluted night sky.

Her cheeks as pure as jade were bathed in the moonlight, like a night-blooming cereus that bloomed only for the moonlight. Did women in ancient times have to get married? Thinking of Yanyu Manor, and her Kangzhuang Town, Zhulin Village, etc., she could still live a colorful life even if she didn't get married. She now regretted returning to Beijing.

Downstairs, Chunyu was counting today's rewards. A total of 10,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, 100 rolls of silk and satin, and various gold and silver jewelry and head ornaments. There were so many that she felt dizzy.

"Chunyu, why aren't you taking a rest yet?" Yunshan said to Chunyu who was holding an abacus.

"I'll be done soon. I just need to count this box of jewelry." Chunyu and a few maids who were good at arithmetic continued to record something in the account book.

"Princess, why did you come down?" Yunshan asked Yu Yunxin, who was wearing a white rabbit fur cloak.

"Chunyu, give me the account book. You've worked hard today and you should go to bed early! Tomorrow I still have to discuss the matter of opening a jewelry store with Madam Mu." Yu Yunxin said as she took Chunyu's account book, sat under the desk and started to look at it.

"Princess, I will take my leave and go back to my room to rest." Chunyu was a little tired today. She went to Zuixianju to order food early in the morning and has been busy until now.

Yunshan came over and asked, "Should I transfer some of the sisters from Yuezhou Yanyu Manor, the princess? The servants in this mansion think we are all wretched."

Yu Yunxin smiled when she heard this: "Wang Yuanxiang sent all her distant relatives to my house to do things while we were not in the capital. It's okay. I have my own house now. Send a few quick disciples to clean up tomorrow. We don't need too many people at Yanyu Manor. We still need to pay attention to the movements of Yueling Pavilion in Qizhou."

"Yes! There is no movement in Qizhou! Princess, don't worry, we will report any disturbance." Yunshan retreated after saying this.

After arranging midnight snacks for the two elderly people, she looked at Chunyu's account book with peace of mind. It was very clear at a glance. This was also due to her good teaching in Nanling County. Looking at the account book, she now realized that having too much money is also a kind of trouble.

Nanling County has 3,000 households. It seems that if she wants to collect more money, she must increase the income of the people in Nanling County. She thought of the sugarcane and various fruits in the greenhouse, thinking that she could let the people grow more to make sugar and also have fructose.

So he began to write a letter to Xuan Zi and Qiu Yingying in Nanling County and sent them several secret recipes for making sugar and fructose, as well as a silver note worth 10,000 taels.

We don’t know where Qiu Yong and the others are now, so we have to find a theater for them as soon as possible.

On the second day, many dignitaries knew that Princess Xingguo had returned to Beijing and was promoted to the second-rank princess, and various visiting cards were sent to her mansion.

Qiu Shuang looked at the visiting cards and handed them to Yu Yunxin and said, "The princess has so many visiting cards. Do you think you can go?"

Yu Yunxin read through all the visiting cards and saw that they were either flower viewing or poetry gatherings. She had no mood to attend these boring gatherings and immediately replied, "I have only been back in Beijing for two days. So many people knew about the prince's visit yesterday. Please reply to all of them for me! Please send me the invitation to my coming-of-age banquet next spring!"

"Princess, your coming-of-age banquet will be held next year in three months. Isn't it too early?" Qiu Shuang replied.

"Yes! It's too early. However, the capital city is getting colder day by day. Xingxin Cloth Building can hold a winter trade fair, and by the way, it can also promote the jewelry store that is about to open." Yu Yunxin thought of something.

He immediately took Qiu Shuang and Chun Yu, prepared a carriage, and rushed to General Mu's mansion.

When the doorman heard that it was Princess Xingguo who came to visit, he immediately invited Yu Yunxin into the mansion.

Pang Jinhua warmly invited her into her inner room. It didn't matter that Pang Jinhua really liked jewelry to the point of obsession. The whole room was filled with jewelry, a bit like a wholesale market.

"Princess, please don't be surprised. These are the things I bought lavishly over the years. If you open a jewelry store, you can sell all of these, and I can also find a famous jewelry teacher for my daughter He'er." Pang Jinhua said.

"Madam, you have stored them very well and have never used them, so of course it's fine. Madam, have you decided to sell them all?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Of course. If I send it to the pawnshop, wouldn't people make a fool of our General Mu's Mansion?" Pang Jinhua said.

Mu Yihe walked in and was very happy to hear that his mother was no longer obsessed with jewelry. He originally wanted to pawn some of her items, but he didn't think that going to the pawnshop would bring shame to General Mu's Mansion. He had pawned several pieces of jewelry before, but his mother didn't know about it.

Mu Yihe walked in with a smile and said, "Sister Princess, you're here! Please sit down, I'll pour you a cup of tea." Then he walked to the table, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yu Yunxin.

Yu Yunxin took it, took a sip, turned around and handed it to Qiu Shuang, looked at Mu Yihe and said, "Why is little Yihe so well behaved today!"

"I know it must be a good thing for the princess to come here, so I am happy." Mu Yihe replied.

"Has Madam Mu chosen a jewelry store?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"I chose the location opposite the Xingxin Cloth Shop. I also looked at several locations yesterday and found that the one closer to the Xingxin Cloth Shop is better." Pang Jinhua took out a layout map of the capital and said.

Yu Yunxin was surprised to see Zhang Yuyu and asked, "Did you draw this?"

"I drew it. Princess sister, how do you think my drawing looks like?" Mu Yihe answered quickly.

"Yihe in our family just likes carving and painting." said Pang Jinhua.

Yu Yunxin looked at the map and quickly found the most suitable location for the theater. She said, "Chunyu's is a restaurant. Can you ask if we can take it over?"

"Princess, are you going to open a restaurant too? I've been to this location before and there have been several shopkeepers over the years. This place is a triangle, so how can it be suitable for opening a restaurant?" Pang Jinhua said, pointing to the map.

"No, I run a theater and this place is very suitable." Yu Yunxin said.

"Then I will go and talk to the owner of this restaurant with the princess." Chunyu said.

Yu Yunxin nodded: "Go find the restaurant owner first and tell him that I want to buy it."

"This restaurant is very big and it would be impossible to buy it without a hundred thousand taels," said Pang Jinhua.

"Mom, didn't the princess give her a higher title yesterday? Besides, would the princess be short of 100,000 taels?" Mu Yihe said.

"You're so smart, kid. I'll need your help after I buy it." Yu Yunxin said, touching Mu Yihe's head.

"As long as Princess Sister needs help, I will definitely help her." Mu Yihe replied confidently.

"Okay, then I'll pay for your famous teacher's fee." Yu Yunxin said with a smile.

"Okay, Princess, let's go to the store and take a look!" Pang Jinhua said impatiently to the jewelry store.

Soon a group of people came to the empty shop. Yu Yunxin bought the two-story shop directly for 55 taels. The capital city is really expensive. If you use 50,000 taels in Nanling County, you can open another Kangzhuang town. In the capital city, you can only buy a two-story shop.

It seems that her money is still not enough for her to spend! Pang Jinhua and Yihe were very satisfied with the shop and quickly found a few craftsmen to start decorating it.

Chunyu encountered a little trouble because she met the prince of Anyuan who also took a fancy to this shop. He wanted to open a dance and music hall here for the capital's number one singing girl.

Chunyu couldn't make up her mind for a moment and was stopped at the door by the Prince of Anyuan when she was about to go out.

"I was wondering whose maid you are? Why did your master let a little girl like you come out to discuss business? Why don't you come back to my Anyuan Marquis Mansion and be my concubine? I don't want you to come here and be my concubine." Master Gu looked at Chunyu and said jokingly.

"Master Gu! What's wrong with a woman? Although my princess is a woman, she is braver than men. She can make sure that the people of Nanling County have enough food and water. The formation tower she built has also blocked the sneak attacks of the southern barbarians. Master Gu, can you do it?" Chunyu said, straightening his back.

"You are a maid in the Xingguo Princess's Mansion! So what? In my eyes, Xingguo Princess is nothing. Anyuan Marquis's Mansion is a mansion of ten thousand households, much larger than a princess with three thousand households. How dare she compete with this prince for this restaurant!" Prince Gu looked at Chunyu with disdain and said, "Someone bring this girl to Anyuan Marquis's Mansion!"

"Prince, you are so kind! After all, the princess's father is also the Minister of Justice. It would not be good if it got out that you snatched her maid on the street." said the guard beside Prince Gu.

"Who dares to spread rumors that my mother is the eldest princess and my father is the Marquis of Anyuan? If you say too much, don't blame me for turning hostile." Prince Gu pointed at the crowd and looked at Chun Yu who was tied up and said, "Take him away."

Yu Yunxin and Mu Yihe were thinking about the store design and looked at the time and asked, "Why hasn't Qiu Shuang and Chun Yu been done yet? It takes so long to ask for a price?"

"Princess, would you like me to go and take a look?" Qiu Shuang said worriedly to Chun Yu.

Yu Yunxin nodded and continued to think about how to change it so that people would linger.

"The stairs on the second floor should be wider so that it will be more convenient for guests to go up to the second floor." Pang Jinhua said.

“We can use the second floor as a dressing table and precious jewelry, and also as an auction table,” Yu Yunxin replied.

"That's right, Princess. We can also build several separate rest rooms for guests on the second floor and give preferential treatment to those who pay the highest price." Pang Jinhua also said with an idea.

"Okay, let's follow Mrs. Mu's decision. I'll find a few skilled craftsmen in the backyard who can tailor-make some jewelry according to your personal preferences." Yu Yunxin filled in the missing pieces.

"That's fine." Pang Jinhua thought for a moment and then said, "What about my jewelry..."

Yu Yunxin interrupted Pang Jinhua's doubts and said, "Madam Mu, you are in charge here. I will not accept your things."

"When Pang Jinhua heard that Princess you spent 50,000 taels of silver, she wondered why you didn't take my money?" Pang Jinhua asked in horror.

"Madam Mu, you will have to rely on me to choose the goods in the future. How can I charge you? Don't worry, I will sell out your goods within three days at most." Yu Yunxin replied.

"Princess, something bad has happened. Chunyu has been taken to the Music Bureau!" Qiu Shuang ran in hurriedly and said.

"Let's go to the Jiaofangsi to rescue people." Yu Yunxin replied without thinking.

"You can't enter the County Magistrate's Office. You'd better inform Lord Yu!" Madam Mu stopped Yu Yunxin who was about to rush out.

"I have a solution. Let's go together." After Pang Jinhua said this, she took Yu Yunxin to the outside of the Jiaofangsi.

After finding out what happened, Yunshan and Yanluo said, "Princess, we are not your maids, so let us go in and save them!"

Yu Yunxin nodded.

Yunshan and Yanluo immediately rushed into the Jiaofangsi with swords in hand.

Ten minutes ago, when Chunyu was brought into the back door of the Jiaofangsi, Yu Linshan, who was passing by, saw her. He couldn't believe how Chunyu could be brought to the Jiaofangsi, and immediately followed her in.

As soon as he entered the Jiaofangsi, he was stopped by an old procuress who said, "Sir, the main entrance of our Jiaofangsi is in the front. If you want to listen to music, go to the front."

"I'm here to ask you to get out of the way." Yu Linshan looked at the brothel owner who was blocking the way impatiently.

"There are many girls in the Jiaofang Bureau. What's her name?" asked the madam.

"He was just dragged in. You, the Music Bureau, are too bold. How could you kidnap someone by force?" Yu Linshan said angrily.

"Sir, what nonsense are you talking about? I see you are not here to look for someone, but to challenge someone else!" The madam immediately summoned four burly men to block Yu Linshan and shouted, "This bold lunatic is here to cause trouble in my Jiaofangsi. Get him out now."

Yu Linshan was dressed in the clothes of Honghu Academy today. He was attending the academic exchange meeting of the Imperial College today and was walking with his classmates. When his classmates saw him, they immediately rushed in and said with a smile: "Mother Chun, this is my classmate. We are students. You see, I will take him away for my sake."

"Brother Chen, the one just now was my sister's official maid. I can't help but save her. What's happening here has nothing to do with you. You should go first." After Yu Linshan finished speaking, he rushed to the four people and caught the fist of one of them.

"You're quite capable, kid, but I tell you that things here are none of your business." One of the big men said as he punched Yu Linshan again. Although Yu Linshan mainly focused on literature these days, he would also take an hour to practice his internal skills.

He dodged the attacks of four people easily. Seeing that Yu Linshan could fight four people alone with his bare hands, the four people immediately sent out eight guards holding swords.

Now Yu Linshanshan was no match for the twelve men with his bare hands, and was quickly captured by the two guards with knives.

The madam looked at him and said, "Go and inform his family to redeem him."

When his classmate heard this, he said, "His adoptive father is the Minister of Justice, Mr. Yu. I will go there immediately."

When the madam heard the Minister of Justice, she looked at him and said, "Forget it, just throw him out! Throw him out through the front gate."

"Mother Chun, two women broke into the front yard. They are very skilled in martial arts!" said a guard with a knife.

The madam glanced at Yu Linshan and said, "Take him with me to see if they know him."

"Let me go! Take me to see Chunyu." Yu Linshan shouted.

When Zheng Tingchun's mother was pushed to the ground, she saw that the two women who attacked her were much prettier than the girls in her music school in terms of both figure and appearance.

He immediately ordered two guards to press on Yu Linshan and said, "Stop, ladies. Check to see if you are looking for the same person."

Yunshan and Yanluo had seen Yu Linshan before, and they knew that Yu Linshan was no match for these people with his bare hands.

Yan Luo jumped in front of Yu Linshan and kicked away two guards with swords one by one. She moved quickly and the guards were no match for her. They drew swords from their waists and threw them to Yu Linshan.

Yu Linshan was free from all restraints and took over Yanluo's sword, and immediately felt like a fish in water.

The madam really regretted letting the three of them meet upon seeing this, and she still regrets it now. Yunshan and Yanluo were both very skilled in martial arts, and once they entered the Jiaofangsi, it was like an empty space. They injured many of the Jiaofangsi's thugs, and now there were only twelve people in the Jiaofangsi facing Yu Linshan.
