Chapter 44 Xiao Jing supports Yuanchu 1 to start a business
On the first day of Yuanchu, she saw Xiao Jing saying seriously that he had something to say to her. She thought he was talking about cooperating to open a restaurant. She brought him the hangover soup and sat down opposite him.
Xiao Jing slowly drank the sobering soup, played with the soup bowl, and looked at Yuan Chuyi who was hesitant to speak.
Yuan Chuyi looked at him strangely and asked tentatively, "Do you want to talk about opening a restaurant?"
"I...do you want to go back to the capital?" Xiao Jing still couldn't say what he wanted to say directly. "You grew up in the capital, but in the bitter cold of the southwest, you must be very unaccustomed to living here! If you want to go back ,I can……"
Yuan Chuyi thought he was going to say something. He thought he could ask himself this question. It must be the child's words tonight that put his mind at ease. But why would he care about what others say to him?
"I was trapped in that small shabby courtyard in the capital for more than ten years. I finally came out, why do I have to go back?" Yuan Chuyi said with a faint smile, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's good for me to live here, and I'm living a good life now!" "
"Don't you care about those rumors?"
“If you have a mouth on other people, they can say whatever they want!”
"What about fifteen and sixteen? And..." Xiao Jing paused and pointed at Yuan Chuyi's belly, "Don't you think about the children in your belly? Aren't you worried about how they will face these villagers after they are born? Are they rumors? These people will say that they are wild children without a father! How will they feel then? Everyone is talking, I’m afraid they can’t stand it!”
Yuan Chuyi chuckled and said with a smile, "This is a fact! The child in my belly has no father! No matter where I move, this cannot be changed! They have to face reality and accept it. !”
"..." Yuan Chuyi's words left Xiao Jing speechless. He wanted to refute and tell her that he was the child's father! But his pride still made him swallow his words again.
"I appreciate the prince's kindness, thank you! But I have settled here and will not leave here for three to five years! If the prince has a grudge against my identity, let's give up our cooperation!" On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he took out the contract from his arms and put it on the table and pushed it to Xiao Jing, "It's too late. I have to rest. Prince, please rest early too!"
As soon as he got up in the early Yuan Dynasty, he left.
"You misunderstood!" Xiao Jing stood up, picked up the contract and stood in front of Yuan Chuyi, then put the contract in her hand, "Keep the contract well!"
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he accepted the contract handed over by Xiao Jing and quickly withdrew his hand, "Since the prince doesn't mind it, we will continue to cooperate on the workshop matter!"
Xiao Jing clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the night sky, "Then you might as well think about opening a restaurant! If you want to open it but don't have enough money and don't want to cooperate with me, I can lend it to you!"
Yuan Chuyi chuckled. This man's eyes were so sharp. Could he really see what he was thinking?
"How did the prince know that I wanted to open a restaurant?"
"If you don't open a restaurant, it would be a pity to keep such good cooking skills like yours!" Xiao Jing looked at her, "Where do you want to open it?"
Yuan Chuyi chuckled and walked towards the courtyard gate. Xiao Jing followed her and saw her standing behind the courtyard gate, pointing to the road, "Then, I want to open a small inn on the road at the entrance of the village when the border is stabilized. Provide convenience for people traveling to and from the border!"
Xiao Jing looked at Yuan Chuyi with approval. She was very business-minded and said, "This is a great idea! If you want to take it, you can start preparations now. Last month, South Vietnam sent people to Beijing to negotiate peace. I heard that they also intend to send a gift. The princess is here to get married! The imperial court has issued a document, and the border market will open after the Lantern Festival! There should be a lot of merchants coming and going by then!"
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I was overjoyed. Sure enough, someone in the court was easy to do! This information gap is important at all times! She decided to start construction in two days. She would first build a tea shed on the roadside and sell tea while building an inn. She would start making money at the same time!
Xiao Jing looked at the indifferent smile on Yuan Chuyi's face and couldn't help but feel a little dazed, "How much money is left to build the inn?"
Yuan Chuyi shook his head, "It's not clear yet! I haven't made a budget yet! The prince really wants to cooperate with me?"
This woman! Xiao Jing laughed, took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to her, "How much is missing? Take it to the Ruifu Silver Building in the city and get it!"
Yuan Chuyi used the faint moonlight to look at the jade pendant in her hand, but in the dim light, she could vaguely see the words engraved on it, but she couldn't make out what words were engraved on it. But she was still quite surprised, "Your Majesty, you trust me so much? It's just that this jade pendant is so valuable, I can't accept it!" She handed the jade pendant back to Xiao Jing's hand.
Xiao Jing pushed the jade pendant back to her and took back his hand, "Since we are partners, I will trust you! You should keep this jade pendant for yourself. It can be used in emergencies. Don't lose it and don't take it again. Done!"
"Again..." Yuan Chuyi noticed the words of Xiao Jing's words.
But just as she was about to say something, Xiao Jing continued: "Xuan Yue has lived with you for so long. As for his expenses, I don't want to pay for him. I think I'll just keep him with you to pay off the debt." , he will be sent by you from now on!"
"Ah!" Yuan Chuyi and Xuan Yue, who was sitting on the wall looking at the moon, were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
"Master, you, you just sold me like this?" Xuan Yue fell beside Xiao Jing and asked in disbelief.
Xiao Jing looked at Xuan Yue and raised his eyebrows, "How about you have money to pay Mrs. Yuan yourself?"
Xuan Yue scratched her head in embarrassment. He was injured while performing a mission. When their secret guards performed their mission, they were not allowed to carry anything except their sidearms. Now they have nothing on them.
Lou Xingyun came over and patted Xuan Yue's shoulder, "Brother, from now on you should follow Madam Yuan and protect Madam Yuan!" He pressed his hand on Xuan Yue's shoulder.
Xuan Yue looked at Lou Xingyun's hand, then bowed respectfully to Yuan Chu Yi, "I hope Madam Yuan will take her in!"
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, he looked at Xuan Yue and then at Xiao Jing, thinking that Xiao Jing should leave Xuan Yue to monitor him. It was hard to tell him directly! And now I need such a capable person by my side.
"Then stay!"
Xuan Yue deeply thanked Yuan Chu Yi, and Yuan Chu Yi also thanked Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing looked at Yuan Chuyi with a smile on his face, "The world outside is vast, you can do what you want! I'm going back!"
When Yuanchu saw that it was getting late and they had both drank a lot before, he advised him to leave tomorrow. However, Xiao Jing didn't want her to suffer gossip from others because she lived here, so he went back to the border overnight.
Watching Xiao Jing and his entourage disappear into the night, Yuan Chuyi breathed a sigh of relief. When she returned to the room, she casually placed the jade pendant that Xiao Jing had just given her on the bedside table. However, when she saw the jade pendant, she couldn't help but be stunned. I was stunned, why does this jade pendant look so familiar? She picked it up and took a look, and was stunned. How could it be exactly the same as the one she pawned more than a month ago?
