Reborn to be replaced? Remarried to the royal palace, raising children and training husband

Zheng Fengyun saw that his wishful thinking was exposed, and he smiled awkwardly, then turned to Zheng Fenghui and said:

"Brother, we have a deep brotherhood, like one body, so why should we separate you and me? I won't prepare this gift separately, as long as the intention is there, don't you agree?"

Zheng Fenghui rolled his eyes helplessly, appearing a little impatient on the surface, but the slightly upturned corners of his lips inadvertently revealed his inner joy.

Gu Qinlan gradually realized a fact: only in the company of Zheng Fengyun, Zheng Fenghui would show a little childishness and smile. Obviously, if the two of them could accompany each other often, it would be of great benefit to Zheng Fenghui's recovery.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Qinlan carefully picked out a white magnolia from the bouquet in her hand, gently pinned it on Zheng Fenghui's hair, and blessed him with a smile:

"For men to wear flowers symbolizes good luck and well-being. May you be filled with joy every day."

Zheng Fenghui was slightly surprised and instinctively touched the flower in his hair with his hand.

At that moment, he seemed to feel Gu Qinlan's sincere feelings, and his heart seemed to be filled with warmth.

However, his expression did not change much. He just pursed his lips slightly and nodded slightly to Gu Qinlan to show his gratitude.

Gu Qinlan did not linger for long, turned to Zheng Fengyun and said:

"You have nothing to do these days, so don't wander around. Spend time with your elder brother."

"Okay..." Zheng Fengyun responded quickly, looking obedient.

After Gu Qinlan left, Zheng Fengyun breathed a sigh of relief, then stretched out his fingers to pick the flower on Zheng Fenghui's head, and said with a smile:

"Hey, we are real men, don't mess with these girly decorations. Let me help you take them down..."

However, as soon as Zheng Fengyun's fingers touched the flower, he heard a crisp "pop" sound. He retracted his hand in pain and looked at Zheng Fenghui with some grievance:

"what are you doing?"

Zheng Fenghui glanced at Zheng Fengyun with a hint of disdain and replied, "Don't touch it."

"You were indifferent to your mother just two days ago, how come you treat the things she gave you as treasures so quickly?" Zheng Fengyun asked curiously.

Zheng Fenghui blushed slightly, turned around and pulled the quilt over his head, and responded in a muffled voice: "What does it have to do with you?"

Zheng Fengyun was not angry. Instead, he jumped onto the bed and continued to pester Zheng Fenghui:

"Good brother, dear brother, I was wrong, I was wrong. This really has nothing to do with me, but can you share your heroic deeds last night?"

"Go away."

"No, no, no, no! Good brother, tell me, tell me."

Zheng Fenghui listened to Zheng Fengyun's constant nagging and couldn't help but feel suspicious. Could it be that Gu Qinlan's real purpose of keeping Zheng Fengyun was to annoy him?

Gu Qinlan certainly didn't know the suspicion in Zheng Fenghui's heart, and she had already left very far away...

Gu Qinlan had already conducted a detailed inspection of the shops in Prince Duan's Mansion. She knew the operating conditions of each shop very well and had a clear grasp of them.

In those shops that were replaced, Gu Qinlan could not wait to carefully select a group of capable managers from her dowry and send them there in the middle of the night.

These managers were her mother's dowry. Over the years, they have been running the shop in an orderly manner, and Gu Qinlan has full trust in them.

Moreover, these transferred managers have accumulated rich experience in their original shops, but due to limited positions and the original shopkeepers have not yet stepped down, they have not been able to get a chance to be promoted. Now, they can perfectly fill the vacancies in the shop of Prince Duan's Mansion.

however……

Gu Qinlan did not reveal that she had her own selfish motives behind this action.

How could she give away her dowry so easily?

This strategy is undoubtedly a key step for her to consolidate her power within Prince Duan's Mansion.

Today, the interior of Prince Duan's Mansion has been completely renovated. Butler Zheng has left, and almost all the servants have been replaced by her people. Prince Duan's Mansion has gradually become a place where she has a say.

As for the industries of Prince Duan's Mansion, they were naturally in urgent need of a thorough reform.

In fact, there were indeed some loopholes in the management of the shop by Prince Duan's Mansion, which allowed her to seize the opportunity and succeed easily.

Otherwise, any family that knows a bit about business would not let the shop owner get away with it so easily.

This is not surprising. The old Prince Duan came from a humble background, and the old Princess was also the old Prince Duan's wife. They were not daughters of prominent families, so it was reasonable that they knew nothing about business management.

But no matter what, these shops are gradually being controlled by her, and she will never let go easily.

Early that morning, Zheng Huiyi was already waiting in her carriage with a familiar look on her face.

When Gu Qinlan got into the car, she was almost scared by the little girl.

"Mother, it's too tiring for you to patrol the shops alone. You must be lonely without anyone to accompany you on the road. Huiyi will always be by your side from now on."

Zheng Huiyi sat upright in the carriage, with a dignified demeanor and a firm and heroic tone.

Gu Qinlan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He gently rubbed the little guy's head and said jokingly:

"Are you trying to keep me company, or are you just looking for an excuse to hang out?"

Zheng Huiyi blinked her big eyes mischievously, then dived into Gu Qinlan's arms, and said with a giggle:

"Huiyi does want to go out and play, but she really wants to be with her mother more."

Gu Qinlan really had no way to resist Zheng Huiyi's coquettishness.

Although she had no children in her previous life, it did not mean that she did not love children. On the contrary, she had a deep love for children.

Now that she is lucky enough to have such a sweet and lovely daughter, how could she not fall in love with her?

At that moment, Gu Qinlan did not reject the little guy's closeness.

She knew that when Zheng Huiyi grew up, she would also need to manage her own dowry, so learning business management in advance would undoubtedly be a wise choice.

Not long after, the carriage slowly stopped in front of a shop called "Hongyefang".

This shop specializes in jewelry and is the only one in Prince Duan's Mansion that is still profitable. It is also the last stop of her inspection trip.

Although Hongyefang's profitability is decent, it is just a slightly conspicuous existence among many ordinary ones.

Gu Qinlan led Zheng Huiyi down from the carriage, and Lou Donglei began to introduce them:

"The current owner of Hongyefang is a distant relative of Princess Duan's mother's family, named Mo Xiaopeng. Although he is called a distant relative, he is actually seven or eight generations apart."

"I heard that because his hometown suffered from drought, Mo Xiaopeng came to the capital to seek refuge with his relatives. Princess Duan, out of sympathy, arranged for him to be the shopkeeper of Hongyefang, and he has been doing this for more than ten years."

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan couldn't help but look at Lou Donglei one more time.

Lou Donglei is indeed a rare talent. He is thoughtful and meticulous in his work, but he was not taken seriously in the past because of the exclusion of Butler Zheng.

He was able to describe the situation of each store so accurately because she had to inspect the shops. In order to help her understand the situation, she investigated the detailed conditions of all the shops in advance.
