Chapter 189 Thinking about his money and connections
After Yu Jiuer returned, she told Jun Mo about the Eighth Princess. Jun Mo was silent for a long while before saying:
"You don't have many friends in the capital. If you want to make friends with her, I will pick her up. But... I'm afraid she's here for the Prime Minister!"
Yu Jiuer understood: "I see! No wonder she is so enthusiastic towards me. I said there must be no good people in the palace!"
Jun Mo raised the corners of his lips, his eyes full of doting, he touched her head and said: "Eighth Princess is straightforward and simple-minded, you can be friends with her. It's a pity that you love the wrong person, the Prime Minister will not give up his status and position just to become a consort!"
"Yes! Once you become a royal consort, you cannot hold a position in the court. The rules of the Dadong Dynasty have destroyed countless princesses' marriages!" Yu Jiuer couldn't help but want to criticize the laws of the Dadong Dynasty.
Jun Mo rubbed her head again and sneered, "You are not a princess, why bother yourself?"
"Why does the Eighth Princess want to see the lanterns so much? Will the Prime Minister also go to see the lanterns?" Yu Jiuer took his big hand away and pouted, "Don't touch my head all the time, it won't grow taller."
Jun Mo hugged her instead. When they were alone, he couldn't help wanting to be close to her.
The restraint and forbearance of the past twenty years were finally vulnerable in front of her. He, who had always regarded women as trouble, no longer wanted to restrain his emotions and only wanted to lock her by his side and never leave her side.
"It is said that after the Prime Minister came to the capital, he would hold a Lantern Festival at Dongling Lake every New Year's Day to commemorate his deceased mother and pray for the people!" Jun Mo explained.
"Holding a Lantern Festival in the lake?" Yu Jiuer suddenly became interested.
Jun Mo nodded and said, "Yes, dozens of large ships released lanterns in the lake. It was a spectacular scene. Even my father praised it!"
Yu Jiuer's eyes lit up instantly, and she asked hastily, "Will all the women in the capital who can go out go and watch it?"
"maybe!"
"That's great!" Yu Jiuer jumped up with joy, and directly put her arms around Jun Mo's neck, and wrapped her legs around his waist, "Shang Buqun is indeed a child of destiny, he is really my idol!"
She wants to use this great opportunity to advertise her "Qingyu" skin care products and cosmetics.
In the more than one month since she came to Beijing, she has been working tirelessly to produce "Qingyu".
Although the "Qingyu" moisturizing cream in Yutao store was sold quite a bit thanks to the promotion at the tea tasting banquet that day, after all, too few people knew about it, and word of mouth was too slow, so it would be difficult for it to become popular in the short term.
Nowadays, her "Qing Yu" varieties are becoming more and more complete. If she could advertise it now and let everyone know about it, her "Qing Yu" would surely become popular!
In contrast to Yu Jiuer's excitement, Jun Mo immediately felt sour when he heard that Yu Jiuer admired another man.
He carried Yu Jiuer to the table, propped his palms on the table, held Yu Jiuer in his arms, squinted his eyes and said:
"How dare you call him by his name? Since when did you two become so familiar with each other? Are you imitating those crazy women in the capital and also missing him?"
Yu Jiuer: "......"
She couldn't tell him that in her heart she had always been thinking about Shang Buqun, his money, his connections, and how to get close to him and use him, right?
"Why aren't you talking? Did I hit the nail on the head?" Jun Mo's tone was filled with strong sourness.
Oops! I got carried away.
Yu Jiuer quickly organized her words in her mind, and explained with her big eyes blinking: "I am different from those women. They are after the Prime Minister, but I am after his money and connections. I want to use him to help me make money!"
"Don't think about his money and connections! Don't forget that you have a man!" Jun Mo's face was gloomy, and his tone unconsciously became heavier, "This is not your world. Women in the harem must abide by the rules of being a woman and respect women's virtues!"
These words successfully irritated Yu Jiuer, and she pushed him away forcefully: "Fuck your virtues! Can virtues be eaten? Can virtues keep my son by my side? Can virtues allow the people of Yinshan to survive? Can virtues make the people of Beijing look up to us in Yinshan?
You've been fighting for power all day, and I've been very patient and restrained in order not to affect you, but you still want to use your wife's virtues to tie me down? I haven't done anything wrong? Why don't you keep your wife's virtues? I... woo woo..."
The more Yu Jiuer spoke, the more aggrieved and sad she felt, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Jun Mo panicked immediately, and hurriedly wiped her tears, apologizing all the time: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault that I didn't control my emotions, I was jealous!"
Jun Mo, who was always calm and proud, wanted to slap himself, but when he thought of Yu Jiuer thinking about another man, he couldn't control the sourness in his heart, and lost his mind and said those hurtful words to her.
Yu Jiuer cried louder and louder, and became more and more sad. She could not remember how long it had been since she had cried so loudly.
At this moment, she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered since childhood.
From being abandoned by his parents at birth, being bullied and starved in the orphanage, to enduring all kinds of pressure and facing all kinds of life and death tests after traveling through time, and now being wronged by his beloved, he is wronged everywhere!
The baby is in pain! The baby just wants to cry, and cry until the end of time, until the sky collapses and the earth breaks!
Jun Mo was completely dumbfounded.
He hurriedly turned around and crawled under the bed, found the iron box hidden inside, and opened it in front of Yu Jiuer:
"Jiu'er, stop crying! Look, these are the betrothal gifts I saved for you, lots of banknotes! Also, I've bought the biggest and best shop in the capital for you. I wanted to give you a surprise, take a look and see if you're satisfied!"
This trick really worked. Yu Jiuer stopped crying in time, wiped her snot and tears on his chest, and quickly picked up the title deed in the iron box.
"When did you buy it? Why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me waste so many tears!" Yu Jiuer sobbed and complained while hurriedly opening the contract in her hand to read.
After reading ten lines at a glance, she opened her mouth in shock, and it took her a while to find her voice, "How did you do it? This is the largest store at the intersection of Jinghong Street! I wouldn't even dare to dream of it."
All the shops on Jinghong Street are luxurious three-story buildings. They were a row of luxury shops built by the emperor using golden nanmu wood more than two hundred years ago.
If not the imperial family of the capital or a powerful and well-connected family, who would be qualified to own this shop?
Those shops sell high-end and rare goods. People without a certain status or money dare not step into that street.
Jun Mo said casually: "This big shop was originally bought by me with military industry, and later sold in order to support the army. Now it is just returned to its original owner!"
Yu Jiuer threw herself into his arms excitedly, choking her voice and saying, "Don't bluff me! Once such a good shop is sold, it will be difficult to get it back even if you have the money. You must have put a lot of thought into it! Don't bully me because I don't know anything!"
"Who told my wife to like the shops in the capital? I can only do my best to please her! So that you don't always worry about other people's things!"
Yu Jiuer placed a kiss on Jun Mo's lips and said to him solemnly, "Your Highness, I am concerned about Shang's business strength, not Shang Buqun himself. I haven't even spoken three sentences to him. Please don't be jealous, okay?"
Jun Mo was afraid of making her cry again, so he kept coaxing her: "Okay, okay! As long as you don't cry, everything is fine!"
Yu Jiuer put her face on the deed, like a child asking for candy, and smiled so hard that her mouth couldn't close.
I was already wondering what kind of things should be sold in this three-story shop?
A series of thoughts swirled around her mind until she suddenly felt cool on her body and realized that she had been stripped of her clothes by a hungry wolf with green eyes.
"I haven't decided what to sell in the store yet. I don't have time!" Yu Jiuer struggled desperately!
Jun Mo was furious and refused to give in: "I paid so much silver, you have to compensate me!"
"Ah! Pervert!"...
The next day.
Yu Jiuer disguised herself as a man again, put on Green Sleeves, went out through the back door, and went straight to her big shop.
She was humming a little tune all the way, and she was so excited that she imagined that after she became the richest person in the capital, all those people in the capital who looked down on Yinshan County would crawl at her feet and shout, "Yinshan County is amazing! Yinshan County is the best!"
As she thought about it, Yu Jiuer even laughed out loud.
Just then, a sudden shake brought her back to reality.
Before Yu Jiuer could react, the horse suddenly raised its hooves and neighed: "Neigh—"
Then the carriage tilted backwards and Luxiu was almost thrown out of the carriage. Fortunately, Yu Jiuer was quick to grab her.
Yu Jiuer heard the sound of fighting coming from outside.
She opened the curtain and saw seven or eight men in black approaching with swords in hand.
Shadow and Moon Shadow were fighting with them.
Yu Jiuer shouted, "How dare you be so outrageous in broad daylight, under the Emperor's feet?"
The other party obviously did not expect that Yu Jiuer's driver were all masters. After a few moves, they were scared and retreated one after another.
After everyone was driven away, Shadow frowned and said, "Judging from the martial arts skills of these people, they are probably not from the underworld. They are most likely secret guards or assassins raised by aristocratic families."
"Humph! I don't go out at night, but they can't wait and dare to come and kill me even in the daytime? It's simply lawless!"
Yu Jiuer understood clearly in her heart that she had stirred up a hornet's nest of the Beijing family and had expected this to happen.
Fortunately, the shop that sells "Qingyu" moisturizing cream is now opened under the name of Yutao, otherwise it would have been smashed long ago.
She has to be more secretive when she goes out in the future, and she has to take a long detour before going to a store!
damn it!
It must be those noble ladies causing trouble again!
If the tiger doesn't show off its power, do you think she is a sick cat?
