Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 350: Clearly split the accounts and leave a way out

Ji Chuhe made a rough calculation and had an idea in his mind.

This is also thanks to the difficult and hard days she lived in her previous life.

Otherwise, she wouldn't know the lower-class people in the imperial capital so well.

The spice shop's business has not yet reached its peak. After reaching a peak, the profits will decline a bit.

However, she can enable the caravan to maximize the value of the spices.

This will definitely become her most profitable business.

At present, she only has about three thousand taels of silver available in her private treasury, which is more than enough to buy a few shops in West City, but it is a bit stretched if she wants to open a business.

Ji Chuhe quickly wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Huaiyang urgently.

When the princess saw the letter, her brows were twisted into a "川" shape.

Prince Huaiyang quickly picked up the letter and saw what was on it.

"Your Majesty, do you think He'er doesn't want to stay in the palace? Does she not want to be our daughter-in-law?"

"No, don't let your imagination run wild." Prince Huaiyang consoled softly.

"She wants to open a shop in the imperial capital and let my caravan send some goods over. Isn't this something that I, as her mother, should strongly support? She has even negotiated the price with me, which means that she is paying for my goods! She also told me that she will keep 30% of the profits from all the shops under her name in the account of the Prince's Mansion, and she will take 70%." The princess was extremely anxious.

"Don't worry. You know He'er's personality. She must have thought everything through. I support her doing this. If she doesn't make a clear distinction, all the money she earns will be in the prince's mansion. What will she rely on? Having more money in her name will only benefit her, not harm her."

"Your Highness, what you said seems to make sense." The princess suddenly calmed down.

"I think that 30% of the profits given to the Prince's Mansion by He'er is too much. It is more than enough for her to take 10%." The prince said again.

"That's right! Just 10%! Then I'll quickly write back to He'er and notify the caravan to send over what He'er needs."

Ji Chuhe took advantage of this.

The princess has a caravan under her command, so she has no shortage of goods. She can also buy on credit and pay when she makes money.

So, she can do what she says.

Here, I was busy choosing a shop. I visited for several days before I decided on three. Fortunately, they were spacious enough.

After getting the title deed, she had all the original things removed and then reinstalled many wooden shelves according to the drawings she had drawn herself.

It's already freezing cold in the imperial capital at this time of year.

There were several snowfalls, and although the snow melted the next day, the temperature was getting colder day by day.

There are only twenty days left until New Year's Day in Daxia.

In Daxia, the first day of the first lunar month is called New Year's Day.

That is, the midnight on the first day of the first lunar month is called the beginning of the year, heralding the beginning of the new year.

Every New Year’s Day, for dozens of days before and after, people would hang up lights and decorations to celebrate.

If the shop opens at this time, it can join in the fun.

People still remember Ji Chuhe’s kindness from the last free clinic, and the news that Ji Chuhe has opened a new shop has gradually spread, attracting the attention of many people.

Some people even came to inquire.

I'm going to come and support the shop as soon as it opens.

However, some people felt hesitant when they saw such a big shop.

She is the Crown Prince's wife, how could she possibly sell things that ordinary people can afford? They are probably just willing but unable to afford it.

Ji Chuhe prepared some bamboo cards, and would give a bamboo card to anyone who asked.

On the opening day, this piece of bamboo can be exchanged for ten cents to buy things.

Looking across the entire Daxia, there is no such way of selling things!

Invisibly, a small bamboo sign brings people great expectations.

The bamboo signs were prepared by Xiao Yanan and his men.

When Ji Chuhe came to the shop, Xiao Yanan would usually accompany her.

Early this morning, Ji Chuhe came to the shop early because it was very likely that the caravan would arrive today.

The shop was basically ready, and she and Xiao Yan'an sat in the attic, warming themselves by the fire while waiting for the caravan to arrive.

Mianzhu is distributing bamboo cards outside.

Lin Siyou was serving in the room.

Last time, Aunt Dong told her a lot about the prince's preferences. She tried several times according to what Aunt Dong said and found that what Aunt Dong said was true. She also believed that Aunt Dong had no ill will towards her.

She has been having a strange feeling lately.

Aunt Dong seemed to be helping her to get started earlier and serve the prince well.

Isn’t Aunt Dong afraid that she will really become the prince’s concubine?

She would never do such a thing, but there was no guarantee that others would not think so.

The madam is so nice, she will never let her down.

Besides, the prince is not the kind of person who is promiscuous.

After serving the prince for so long, the prince has always lived alone and has never been with his wife.

This is also a very strange thing.

Anyway, she felt that everything in the Prince's Mansion was different from what she thought.

Ji Chuhe watched Lin Siyou put the charcoal fire that was not burning very strongly into a basin and placed a flat iron plate on it. Then she took out some roasted broad beans, dried meat, and dried loquats and placed them on top, in neat and beautiful circles.

Before long, a fragrance wafted through the room, whetting one's appetite.

"Siyou, how did you come up with this way of eating?" Ji Chuhe asked in surprise.

Lin Siyou put the roasted loquats on a plate and handed it to Ji Chuhe respectfully.

"Madam, please try it and see if it tastes good. I asked Sister Mianzhu and she said you like to eat dried loquats, so I brought some."

"Yes, I love eating dried loquats." Ji Chuhe took it and tasted it. "Hmm! Delicious! If there is a way to eat it like this, I won't be afraid of the cold in winter and won't refuse to eat dried fruits."

"Prince, this is the dried meat you like." Lin Siyou gave Xiao Yan'an some more.

Xiao Yanan took it and handed it to Ji Chuhe, "Madam, do you want to try the jerky? It tastes better when it's hot."

Ji Chuhe pinched a small piece and tasted it, "It smells good."

However, she still loved eating dried loquats and continued to eat her own dried loquats.

Ji Chuhe loved to eat it, and Lin Siyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was even a little secretly happy.

The prince’s mansion is so nice.

The Madam is good, the Prince is good, the Aunt is good, everyone around the Madam is good, except for that concubine, there is no bad one!

She gradually let down her guard.

Also, there is a subtle feeling of excitement for the prince in my heart.

She will remove it as well.

Or, keep it hidden in your heart forever and never let anyone know.

Seeing Ji Chuhe enjoying the meal, Xiao Yanan was in a better mood too. "Madam, actually this way of eating was discovered by Youyou's father. He often used tiles to roast herbs, but tiles were easy to break and the temperature was hard to control. So he had the idea to make a piece of iron sheet. By chance, the winter melon slices cut by Youyou's mother fell on it and were roasted for a long time. Youyou's father was reluctant to throw it away, so he ate it and suddenly found that it tasted pretty good. Then, he tried various foods. Finally, this way of eating became a great delicacy in their family in winter."

Ji Chuhe noticed that Lin Siyou's eyes dimmed. She was originally smiling, but when she mentioned her family, she was immediately filled with sadness.
