Pei Yi heard what Xie Zhichan said in the bathroom at the door and felt depressed. He turned around and went to the study for a while, wanting to read a book to calm his mind. He took a book in his hand but did not turn a page for a long time. He was still thinking about what the little fox was doing. He wanted to stay in the same room with her, so he went back to the bedroom.

I saw Xie Zhichan had come out of the bathroom and was leaning against the fumigation cage to dry his hair. His porcelain-white skin was as delicate as cream, and his face was steamed like a peach by the hot steam. He sat quietly in front of a small table, his chin supported by his hands, holding a pen in one hand, like a lotus that had just bloomed.

Exuding alluring charm.

Pei Yi walked over and saw that there were countless pieces of paper on the small table in front of Xie Zhichan. There were some strange patterns drawn on them, and some chicken-chop-like words on them.

He asked, “What are you drawing?”

Xie Zhichan tapped his head with the tip of a pen, as if he had encountered something very troubling, and said, "The name of my shop. A good shop name can spread quickly and be known all over the world. But I have been thinking for a long time and still can't think of a good one."

Pei Yi saw her pouting and looking angry, and he felt that his eyes were full of her. He thought, what does it matter whether she likes him or not? At least she is by his side now, and she will stay by his side for a long time. He can always make her like him.

He sat down opposite her, picked up the paper on the table and looked at it. An idea suddenly occurred to him and he said, "Let's call it Qianyuan Pavilion."

Xie Zhichan muttered it twice, wrote the three characters "Qianyuan Pavilion" on the paper, and said: "The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit. Fate arises and ends, fate gathers and separates. What a good name!"

She stared at Pei Yi with her sparkling little deer eyes and asked, "How did you come up with that?"

Pei Yi coughed lightly and said, "Isn't your nickname Ayuan?" He didn't think so much about it.

Xie Zhichan said "Oh", and suddenly his ears felt hot. He said, "I have to draw a symbol for it that is easy to remember and interesting. Do you have any good ideas?"

Pei Yi thought for a moment and said, "What you just said gave me a hint. I'll draw one for you and see if it works."

After saying that, he took the pen from Xie Zhichan and scribbled a simple-line image of Tathagata on the paper. The image was sitting on two lotus petals, with the three words "Qianyuan Pavilion" in his arms.

The graphics are simple and beautiful, with a touch of Zen, which fits Xie Zhichan's name. The three words "Qianyuan Pavilion" are also well written.

Xie Zhichan propped his chin on his hand and watched Pei Yi finish his painting. He couldn't help but sigh, "Just based on this name and this logo, I will give you half of the profit from my shop every year."

Pei Yi smiled and said, "It's just a small favor. The Prince of Yan's Mansion doesn't need your profit. It's fine if you don't share it with me."

At this time, he didn't know how much help the money earned by Qianyuan Pavilion would one day help him.

Xie Zhichan carefully put away the name and logo of Qianyuan Pavilion, and placed it in a book he read most often to flatten it. He said to Pei Yi, "No, I will do business with integrity and share the profits fairly. I will prepare a profit-sharing contract for you tomorrow."

She was so clear about the distinction between public and private, and mentioned the "contract", which reminded Pei Yi of the "contract" on the day of their wedding. He felt very unhappy and his face suddenly darkened.

At this moment, Mai Sui came in and said that Miss Qin was already waiting in the side hall to take Master Pei's pulse.

Pei Yi became even more annoyed and asked Xie Zhichan, "Didn't you promise to help me avoid her?"

Xie Zhichan said: "Sir, if you don't like a girl, the best way is to reject her clearly instead of avoiding her, understand?"

Pei Yi frowned and said, "But she's a girl, how can I say no if she hasn't confessed to me?"

Although he heard it once when he was unconscious, some time has passed. If he speaks rashly, what if Qin Baiwei says that she no longer likes him?

Wouldn't it be awkward for both sides then?

Xie Zhichan thought about it and agreed. The prerequisite for rejection is that the other party has confessed his feelings, and it must be clear and unambiguous. If there is any ambiguity, it will leave room for ambiguity.

She said, "How about you give her a ruthless hint? For example, let her see you being intimate with another woman?" This was a routine from the few romance novels she had read, so she just blurted it out.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yi actually believed her words. He stared at Xie Zhichan with shining eyes and even thought about how to put it into practice.

Xie Zhichan knew what he was thinking when he saw his eyes. He had a scalpel in his hand. He slid the blade across his fingers and threatened with narrowed eyes, "Your Highness probably doesn't know how fast my knife can be..."

Pei Yi's lower body suddenly tightened for no reason, and he thought of the ferocious A Yuan in the hot spring pool. With a dark face, he threw a pulse-changing medicine into his mouth, sat back in the wheelchair, and pushed it out by himself.

Xie Zhichan looked at the tall figure sitting back in the wheelchair, still with broad shoulders and narrow waist, which was so attractive.

When the handsome figure disappeared at the door, she shook her head and secretly told herself to calm down: Hey, what are men? They can only affect her composure when holding the scalpel!

A few days later, peace talks were concluded in the Northern Frontier, and 30,000 Pei family troops returned to the capital. As a result, 20,000 soldiers were killed. Pei Yi submitted a memorial requesting compensation from the court for the 20,000 soldiers, and arranged for Hua Manxi, Fan Xingyang, and Liang Qixing to distribute the compensation together.

Afterwards, after Emperor Jingde approved the conscription of 20,000 soldiers to replace the lost personnel, the conscription process of the Ministry of War was completed.

Although He Ying's matter offended the Minister of War He Kun, and the Ministry of War's procedures had some bumps in the road, it had already gone through the clear path of Emperor Jingde and was finally accomplished.

After that, Fan Xingyang and Liang Qixing were arranged to go to several counties near Kyoto to implement the conscription matters, and Hua Manxi was asked to accompany them and be responsible for making the list.

Pei Yi was also very busy.

Xie Zhichan was also busy. The day after he returned from the palace, he took the note given by Emperor Jingde and excitedly went to find the person in charge of the He Mansion to go to the government office to handle the transfer procedures and change the name on the deed.

Afterwards, she took the contract and asked Xiao Liu'er and Yue Yan to go to the rouge shop in the East Market to close the shop.

Standing at the door of the shop and seeing the endless stream of customers coming and going, Xie Zhichan felt as if she saw a pile of silver growing larger and pouring into her pocket in droves.

The shop owner was originally hired by the He family. When the shop was transferred and the contract had not expired, the shop owner was also transferred to Xie Zhichan.

She was a graceful woman in her thirties. At the moment, she was busy greeting customers in the store. Seeing Xie Zhichan and the other two standing at the door, she greeted them and said, "Please come in, sir. I see that your skin is a little dry. I think it is not suitable for the early summer weather. I would like to recommend our new summer products to you. They can protect your face from the sun and moisturize it."

Xie Zhichan did not respond to her question, but only asked, "What is the shopkeeper's name?"

The female shopkeeper immediately smiled and replied, "I am Madam Yu."

Xie Zhichan signaled to Xiao Liu'er to show the deed after the transfer to Madam Yu and said, "Madam Yu, from today on, I am the owner of this rouge shop."

Madam Yu's smile faded significantly. She bowed perfunctorily and said, "Meet the Princess of Yan. My employment contract with the He Mansion does not expire until the end of the year, so I was also transferred over in the transfer contract. I wonder if the Princess is going to hire someone else? If she wants to hire another shopkeeper, I'm afraid she will have to pay me a compensation of 100 taels first."

After hearing this, Xiao Liu'er became very angry at the arrogant attitude of the female shopkeeper. She was about to step forward and say something to her, but was stopped by Xie Zhichan.
