Chapter 229 New ways to make money
The Empress Dowager was very curious as she watched Yuan Chuyi take out the crystal mahjong pieces one by one. Several nuns also curiously came forward to watch.
"What are these mahjong tiles? How do you play them?"
"It's not difficult, I'll teach you and you can do it!"
Yuan Chuyi put the mahjong tiles into categories, and introduced the mahjong tiles and how to play the tiles to his ancestors and mothers in detail. Seeing that it was really fun, the ancestor immediately pulled Yuan Chuyi and asked her to play a few rounds with her.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she didn't dare to refuse. She sat down and played several rounds with her ancestor and several nuns. It was not until her ancestor became proficient in the game and it was getting late that she was released from the palace and went home.
But as soon as she left the gate of Cining Palace, the queen's people came to invite her again.
"You finally came to the palace. I want to have a good chat with you!" the queen said warmly.
"Yes." Yuan Chuyi said with a smile, sitting and drinking tea with the queen and chatting.
After drinking two cups of tea, the queen dismissed all the palace guests. When Yuanchu saw this, she was very puzzled and looked at the queen suspiciously, not knowing what she was going to tell him.
"Sister, I came to see you today because I actually want to ask you for advice on something!" the queen said politely.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he thought it would not be a good thing, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. If you have anything to do, just ask me!"
The queen smiled, looked Yuan Chuyi up and down, and asked in a low voice: "I want to ask my sister, both of them have given birth to children, but you gave birth to twins. How can you recover from your body shape?" If you are so good, why do you still look like a sixteen-year-old girl?" She pointed to her slightly fat waist, "I feel like my body shape has changed. Sister, do you have any secrets? Please teach me!"
The queen and the emperor were a young couple. The emperor had been in love with her since he was a teenager, but she found that the emperor came to her palace less and less recently. She didn't know why, but since the last time she saw Yuan Chuyi, she had been attracted to her. Yuan Chuyi's temperament and figure were astonishing. Today I finally found the opportunity to ask her for advice, so don't miss it.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I thought she was so mysterious and had something big going on.
"To be honest, ma'am, I like to work in the fields at home. I am either toying with flowers and plants in the garden, or planting vegetables and beans in the vegetable garden. I also practice yoga, and my figure has naturally recovered!"
Not only did she take care of the garden of Prince An's Mansion by herself, but she also used a large piece of open space in the fifth courtyard to grow vegetables. Seeing her like this, Xiao Jing shook his head helplessly. After all, she was a vegetable, and he had to help sometimes. Lifting water and digging the ground.
"I can also grow flowers and grass. It's just that yoga you mentioned, what is that?"
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, the queen did not hide anything, and told her in detail what yoga was, and then said: "When you start practicing this yoga, it will be a little painful for people who don't exercise often. I'm afraid you will have to practice it, my mother-in-law." Be prepared to suffer and suffer first.”
"What's the matter? As long as you are willing to teach me, I will definitely not be afraid and I will definitely be able to persevere! You can come to the palace tomorrow morning and teach me, okay?"
"Yes!"
"You don't have to be so polite, this is just a request between us sisters!" The queen took Yuan Chuyi's hand and said with a smile.
Yuan Chuyi nodded with a smile.
"This is a secret between us. You can't tell anyone, not even your Prince An, okay?"
The Queen also wanted the Emperor to look at her with admiration again.
Yuan Chuyi understood what she was thinking, so he nodded in agreement and asked her to prepare yoga clothes and start practicing tomorrow.
After coming out of the palace, Yuan Chuyi felt that even the queen wanted to practice yoga to get in shape. I believe there were many ladies in the capital who also wanted to practice this yoga. After returning home, she immediately came up with the idea of opening a women's yoga studio.
Xiao Jing was a little busy today. After all, he had a lot of military affairs to deal with, but he still went home early today. When he returned home, he learned that Yuan Chuyi had just returned from the palace. He hurried back to his room and saw that Yuan Chuyi had just changed clothes and came out.
"I heard that our ancestors summoned you to the palace and stayed there all afternoon. What's the matter?" He held her in his arms and asked slightly anxiously.
Yuan Chuyi smiled and patted his hand, "It's okay. Our ancestors knew that my shop was smashed and were afraid that I would be wronged. So they asked me to come over to comfort me and rewarded me with a bunch of things."
"It takes so long for such a small thing?"
"I even taught her and the nuns how to play mahjong! I even had a conversation with the queen." Yuan Chuyi said with a smile.
"Mahjong! What is this? Did you find something good again on the street?" Xiao Jing asked with a smile.
Yuanchu nodded, this mahjong was also a benefit given to her by Fu Bao today. She took Xiao Jing back to the house and took out a new pair of mahjong, "It's this little gadget. It's so fun! It can use both hands and brain. It's both educational and entertaining!"
She taught Xiao Jing how to play, and Xiao Jing also thought it was good. That night, she found Lou Xingyun and others to play a few rounds. Yuan Chuyi taught them how to play while planning her yoga studio.
"What are you going to do, madam? The shop on Jinxiu Street hasn't opened yet. It won't be too late to do other things after finishing the shop." Xiao Jing said.
"The shop will be open in the next two days."
She plans to use the shop on Jinxiu Street as a small boutique shopping mall, with a children's section, a girls' section, a married women's section, as well as jewelry accessories, rouge, gouache, and skin care products. The prices of the products on the first floor are relatively close to the people, while the second floor is all high-quality products with more expensive prices, serving those who are either rich or expensive.
She has bought a workshop for making clothes in the city and has hired an embroiderer to start work. Gold and silver jewelry and rouge and gouache are purchased from their workshop under the name of Prince An and sold on the counter.
Yuan originally wanted to leave these workshops to Yuan Shiyu and the others, but a few days ago she found out that Yun Duo was pregnant. She thought that Yuan Shiyu and the others might be pregnant soon, so she gave up and let them take care of it. Instead, Xiao Jing and Xiao Jing bought two shops of several tens of square meters for each of them and asked them to take care of their shops themselves, while she hired someone to look at her shop. Since Yun Duo was found to be pregnant, the Bieyuan no longer allowed her to go out to work, and hired someone to take care of it.
"Madam, you and the prince gave me two shops. Brother Lou and I don't know what the shops will sell!" Yun Duo said with a frown on the side. Yuan Chuyi didn't let her do anything since she became pregnant. She really didn't adapt to it when she had free time, and she kept looking for something to do.
Yuanchu thought for a moment, "The wine from our wine shop will be on the market in the next two days. You can use one to sell our Hexiang Zui and Daohua Niang, open a tavern, and another one near the market." , you can sell cereals, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar!”
Since she said she wanted to find a place with good water quality to open a wine making workshop, Xiao Jing asked people to search for water sources in the mountains near the farm. Sure enough, they found a mountain spring with sweet and clear water, which was very suitable for making wine. The wine making workshop was built in That's the foot of the mountain.
With the winery in hand, Yuan also plans to open an oil pressing workshop and a soy sauce making workshop on the farm. By then, their stores will be able to sell all their own products.
