The Little Lucky Girl

Not to mention Mrs. Tao, even Magistrate Tao laughed. They had been secretly paying attention to Xiaguan Village and naturally knew about the little actions of these children.

He reached out and patted her little head: "After talking so much, the last two hundred coins are the key point, right? If your father knew that you sold him for such a small amount of money, I wonder if he will beat you up when he comes back."

Ming Youyou shook her head nonchalantly, "That can't be possible. If my father were here, he would also seek cooperation from you."

She looked around and whispered, "My father said that Lord Hu is still a little timid and has no background, so it's better to play it safe. But if we replace him with a more powerful lord, we can consider expanding this business, which will bring more money to the county, and then everyone's life will be better."

Magistrate Tao: ...What a talented person! I really want to go to the Ministry of Revenue and get him back.

He was sure that this business was viable, so he asked, "What do you plan to name it?"

Ming Youyou thought about it and chose the best one from her limited knowledge. "How about calling it Jinxiufang?"

Magistrate Tao nodded. Just as he expected, "Vulgar!"

Mrs. Tao glared at her husband and said, "I think it's a good idea. Why does a shop need to be so elegant? This name sounds lively and festive."

She wiped the oil off Ming Youyou's mouth and said with a smile, "The operation of this shop also relies on your father's ideas, and you will also get a share of the dividends, so you don't have to worry about making money."

Ming Youyou said helplessly: "That will take a long time. We can hardly even eat eggs now."

Moreover, she felt that Captain Jin was a strange person, and he treated them like a cat playing with a mouse.

Even if they get the dividends, they might find some reason not to let them spend them, just to see them worry about money.

Oh, it’s so difficult.

So let’s hold on to every penny we have.

Finally, Mrs. Tao only gave two hundred coins at the suggestion of Magistrate Tao.

When Ming Youyou happily left with the copper coins, she looked at her husband with some dissatisfaction, "How can you be so stingy with your child?"

Magistrate Tao stroked his mustache and said, "I'm not being stingy. I'm giving them a chance to gain experience."

He sighed and said, "Look, these kids can save up their first capital just by giving people names. This county is curious about what they will do in the future."

Magistrate Tao yawned, "It's rare that Zheng Huan and his gang can do something useful."

He usually doesn't eat so much, but today, seeing Ming Youyou eating so happily, he unconsciously followed suit and ate a lot.

"By the way, have you received any letters from the capital these days?"

Those old guys always sneak their own agenda into official documents.

Especially Lord Li, the Jingzhao Yin. They would write to him and talk about the situation in the court no matter what the matter was, for fear that he would not be able to understand the situation at the same time and would not be able to help them with ideas when they had problems in the future.

"There is no letter from the court, but there is one from home." Mrs. Tao pointed to a thick letter.

"Oh, does Uncle Zhong have insufficient money?"

Although they are not in the capital, they cannot neglect the social interactions. They have to send people to deliver gifts to every family that gets married or has a child.

So when they left they left some money for the housekeeper, but it wasn't much.

"You guessed wrong this time," Mrs. Tao said happily, "The housekeeper said that he made three times as much money by doing business with others. This time he didn't ask us for money, but sent us a banknote instead."

Magistrate Tao was extremely surprised that his uncle Zhong, who had a dull mind, could suddenly become smart.

"Really? What kind of luck is this?" Magistrate Tao was quite happy, but suddenly he thought of something and said with a gloomy face, "Could it be that someone is trying to bribe us?"

"You're overthinking it. The child's father was grateful to us, so he took the housekeeper to do some business. He made a lot of money from this back and forth." Mrs. Tao sighed.

Lord Tao read the letter carefully.

After reading it, I sighed again and again: "What a pity, what a pity, I met you too late."

He has a good understanding of criminal law and people's livelihood, but he is not very good at business. If there is such a person around...

Mrs. Tao laughed, "Don't you feel like 'I wish we had met before I got married'?"

Magistrate Tao choked on his own saliva and couldn't help coughing.

Mrs. Tao held on to the table and laughed uncontrollably.

Magistrate Tao finally recovered his breath and looked helplessly at his smiling wife and said, "Mrs. Yan, you are naughty again."

Mrs. Tao's face turned red.

She cleared her throat and said, "Although the father is not here, the daughter is here. I think the child is quite talented in business. You should train her more."

Even if we tell them how to make money, they can't just take advantage of it for free.

Magistrate Tao fell into deep thought, "That child is indeed good, but now he is just a smart little idiot. It would be a pity if he continues like this. He should read more books and see more of the world."

"You want her to go to the academy, but she's a girl. Can the academy let her in?" Mrs. Tao thought it was unreliable. "And their current status is also a big trouble."

Mr. Tao thought for a moment and said, "The issue of studying is not difficult to solve. As for the latter issue, let's see if they can handle it themselves. If they can't, I will intervene. The same goes for Zheng Huan and the other three. They can't just keep wasting their time like this."

When Ming Youyou went back, she stopped by the bookstore, bought pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and then spent all their money.

The proprietress said that she had to meet the students who were copying books and get to know their character and temperament before deciding what to let them copy.

So Ming Youyou decided to bring Zheng Huan and others here tomorrow.

As soon as he got home, Feng Xu announced bad news: Captain Jin was back.

Captain Jin's attitude towards Zheng Huan and the other two was rather bad, but he was neither nice nor bad to Ming Youyou, so the task of leaving the village fell on her.

Ming Youyou looked at Captain Jin, who was obviously in a bad mood, and made her request carefully.

Captain Jin didn't say anything, but just threw stones at the half-grown peaches on the tree.

Bang, a peach fell off.

Bang, another peach fell off.

Ming Youyou felt chilly for some reason, and her calves were a little cramped.

She swallowed, turned around and tried to slip away.

The system stopped her in time, "You are out of money. In order to eat meat in the future, you must not be too cowardly now."
