Started to get rich after exile

Ming Lanying looked at the retreating figures of He Bai and Shan Zhao, feeling a complicated feeling like a mother who has traveled thousands of miles and is worried.

Aunt Cai advised softly, "Princess, the wind is strong, go in."

Mr. Zhao tapped his cane on the ground, "Okay, everyone has gone away. What's there to see? Now you are the only one supporting me in the palace. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing."

Ming Lanying sighed, "After all, they are going to the battlefield, not playing..."

Mr. Zhao turned back and glanced at the huge palace. Now only Ming Lanying and Ning'er, the elder and the younger, were left.

"Securing your home is the most important thing."

Seeing that she was still worried about He Bai and the other two, Mr. Zhao joked: "I don't know if this war will last until the Chinese New Year. Aren't you afraid that Ye Juelu will bring someone back from the battlefield?"

Ming Lanying was stunned, "Who are you bringing back? Comrades?"

Zhao Laochuu stared at his beard and knocked on the floor with his cane, "Woman! After such a long war, various methods have emerged on the battlefield. Sacrifice of women is the most common and common way. Aren't you afraid that he will bring back a woman? She is prettier than you, even more beautiful than you. You are gentle and know how to serve a man better than you."

Ming Lanying sneered, "So what? Of course, let Zaizai peel off their skins first, and then take Ning'er away, taking away half of the palace's property, and making room for them as immortals!"

Not to mention that this is a hypothesis, even the real Ming Lanying would do this.

After finally falling in love, she ended up blind. She had to give herself a break.

Ming Lanying's words were full of murderous intent. Mr. Zhao's hand on crutches shook, and he had no doubt that she would really do this.

Ming Lanying smiled and patted Mr. Zhao, "Okay, Mr. Zhao! I know it's useless to worry about them. It's more important to live the life in front of you. Don't worry. The most important thing right now is to take good care of Dongxia's fetus. I'm still waiting. I’m giving red envelopes to my goddaughter and godson!”

Ming Lanying and Zhao Lao shook his head helplessly, almost forgetting that this girl was different from before and had her own unique insights.

But when it comes to winter and summer, Mr. Zhao frowns.

The fetus in winter and summer was finally stable, and Ming Lanying didn't let her go out at will. As a result, the weather had suddenly cooled down recently, and she caught wind and cold without paying attention.

Aunt Meng has been staying at Meng's house to take care of Dongxia for the past few days. The two maids who stayed with Dongxia during the day apologized guiltily, and Ming Lanying took Ning'er to visit her.

Dongxia also joked with a smile, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm just pregnant, and I don't need so many people to take care of me. Those who don't know think I'm pregnant with a lucky baby! You can take them back."

Ning'er said with a serious face: "What Sister Dongxia has in her belly is Fu Bao!"

Ming Lanying nodded seriously in agreement and said to Dongxia with a smile on her face.

"It's not easy for you to be pregnant. Who will help you with household chores after they leave? Are you going to keep bothering Aunt Meng?"

Dongxia shook her head, and Ming Lanying knew that with her temperament, she didn't want to cause trouble to anyone.

Ming Lanying touched her sweaty little face, and her little face turned pale from the bitter taste of a bowl of soup.

Even though the cold was not that serious, she was already fragile due to pregnancy, and her face still didn't look good.

"You just have to worry about raising the baby. Don't think too much about anything else. If there are two more people to take care of you, Aunt Meng and you will be more relaxed."

Dongxia nodded. She was weak and took medicine. She couldn't hold back her sleepiness without saying a few words. Ming Lanying carefully helped her lie down. After her breathing stabilized, she took Ning'er back.

Aunt Meng came over just in time with a bowl of chicken soup porridge. When she saw her closing the door softly, she asked in a low voice: "Are you sleeping?"

Ming Lanying nodded and pointed outside, "Let's go back first. Aunt Meng took care of us."

Aunt Meng waved her hand with a smile, handed the porridge in her hand to the maid to warm, and sent Ming Lan and Ying out.

Ming Lanying asked: "Are Aunt Meng still used to it these past two days? Is the maid okay?"

Meng Huaisu is the only bloodline left in Aunt Meng's sister's family. Aunt Meng only hopes that he and Dong Xia can live in peace.

Dongxia was in poor health but still stubbornly wanted to keep the child. Aunt Meng was heartbroken and moved that she even ignored her own son and took care of Dongxia herself.

Ming Langtao could only shake his head helplessly, and occasionally went back to Meng Huaisu's house to have a meal with Meng Huaisu.

"There's nothing I'm not used to. This is much better than my previous life. I like it very much."

Aunt Meng spent most of her life making plans in the troubled Ming family in the capital. Now she is living a leisurely life here, accompanied by her son and nephew, and now she also has a grandson. She is extremely happy.

"It's just that winter and summer are too hard, and pregnancy can make her a little drowsy. However, she is not very stable when sleeping, and will wake up at the slightest movement. Mr. Zhao also adjusted the prescription of tranquilizer, but the effect was minimal."

Ming Lanying frowned slightly, "I'll ask someone to find some good medicine to replenish her."

Ming Lanying didn't know how to take supplements for pregnant women. Anyway, she could find good medicine and good ingredients. Aunt Meng smiled.

"There is no way to take medicine every day to replenish your body. Medicine is only a supplementary function. The key is to take good care of your body in winter and summer."

"Yes, yes, yes, I will go back and have some good chickens and ducks slaughtered, and then stew a medicinal meal with the collected natural materials and earthly treasures."

Aunt Meng patted her hand and said, "Princess, you are interested. If there is anything that Taoer, a useless prefect, can do, just let him help."

Ming Lanying grinned, "Don't worry, Aunt Meng, the prefect is of great use here!"

Ming Lanying is right, the prefect is indeed of great use here.

Even if you have connections, you still have to spend a lot of money to get the qualifications to open a restaurant as soon as possible.

But Ming Lanying is not only the princess of Yanbei, but also Ming Langtao, who is supported by the power of King Yanbei.

It only takes one sentence to let the prefect handle it personally.

Ming Lanying looked at the documents and certificates in her hand that were completed in just two days, and clicked her tongue lightly.

He muttered: "This power is indeed a good thing..."

Aunt Cai coughed lightly and said, "Princess, please be careful with your words. It is not appropriate for you to say such things."

Ming Lanying chuckled, put away the certificate and waved her hand, "Let's go! Let's see if our money tree is ready."

The restaurant branch is about to open, and shopkeeper Li has been working diligently recently, arranging everything from utensils to manpower carefully and attentively.

When Ming Lanying came over with the certification materials, shopkeeper Li happened to be there. Seeing the documents that had been completed in just two days, he excitedly gave Ming Lanying a big gift.

"If it weren't for the support of the princess, this matter would have taken a lot of effort. Thanks to the princess!"

Ming Lanying smiled and waved her hand, "Shopkeeper Li is serious. Has the auspicious date been decided?"

"It's settled, it's at the end of the month, it's too late."

"That's good." Ming Lanying glanced at the twenty guards outside the restaurant, "These guards will stay here. When the time comes, I'm worried that someone will take advantage of the loophole and ruin the place. I'll feel at ease with them here." Li The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, "The princess is thoughtful. When the business gets busy, we will have to hire more people from the original store."

News of the branch's opening has been disseminated in the form of small flyers, which also have discount coupons watermarked with special ink to attract customers.

It is also written in large, easy-to-understand characters, which can be understood by anyone who knows a little bit about writing.

It has to be said that shopkeeper Li is a good businessman. Ming Lanying just suggested distributing promotional leaflets. Shopkeeper Li immediately thought of promoting limited promotion coupons. With the double blessing, the reputation of the restaurant branch has reached a higher level.

Although it shows that Lan Ying only accounts for [-]% of the total profits of the restaurant industry, it is still a large amount of money.

Shopkeeper Li and Ming Lanying both smiled deeply when they thought of the grand opening of the branch. They squinted their eyes and smiled so hard that they couldn't see their teeth, and inexplicably revealed a ferocious and profiteer aura.

Grandma Cai looked on and felt that these two people did not look like serious businessmen, so she sighed helplessly.

The restaurant has been renovated and is waiting for its opening. A plaque is hung on the door, and the couplets on both sides are covered with a huge red flower satin. They are also covered with red cloth, waiting to be removed by shopkeeper Li on the opening day, which means the official opening. Good luck.

Ming Lanying's craftsman customized a huge colorful door. This is what she learned from Manager Wang in the front yard. It is also a trick used to attract customers.

Use bamboo poles and wires to build a frame, with an entrance in the middle for guests to enter and exit. Colorful rags and flowers are wrapped around the frame to make it look very festive.

Ming Lanying thought for a while, and then she had a wedding ceremony and a flower basket. She drew a sketch and asked the gardener in the house to make a large flower basket half as tall as a person.

Ming Lanying was afraid that her drawing was too sloppy and the gardener couldn't understand it, so she made special gestures to explain it for a long time. The gardener immediately understood and confidently assured her that she would definitely be satisfied.

When the finished product was finished seven days later, everyone in the palace was amazed, and it was beyond Ming Lanying's expectation.

The flower basket is nearly one person tall. It has a bamboo base on the ground. The gaps are decorated with vines and leaves. The flowers on it are trimmed into a circular arc, like flower balls competing for beauty.

The gardener made six in a row, and six large flower baskets were placed there, creating a full visual effect.

Ming Lanying applauded happily, "Well done! Reward! Two months of monthly silver!"

"But where did the palace get so many flowers?"

The gardener scratched his hair nervously, "The flower farmer who usually delivers flowers and plants happened to have a batch of goods that was rejected. The princess happened to be making flower baskets, which required a lot of flowers, and she didn't have many copper coins, so she took it upon herself to collect them. "

After the gardener finished speaking, Wang Changying frowned, obviously dissatisfied with him doing things on his own initiative, and the gardener knelt down in a panic and saluted.

"You know your mistake, I will never dare to do it again. Please punish me, Princess."

Ming Lanying waved her hands indifferently, "There are only a few copper coins anyway. Let's forget it this time. Next time, we must discuss it with Manager Wang in the front yard. Although it is a small matter, we must follow the rules. This money has not been lost." It’s better to come from the Wang Mansion for your explanation, and go to Manager Wang to record a reimbursement later.”

The gardener breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed twice. "Yes, I understand, thank you so much, Princess!"

"Get up, get up, there are rewards for doing good things, Changying."

Wang Changying nodded and lowered his eyebrows, "The little one is here."

"I'm very satisfied with the flower basket he made. Remember to reward him with two months' wages."

"Yes."

The servants in the front yard are all under Wang Changying's control. Ming Lanying praises and scolds them all, but he doesn't.

Good people are made by their masters. As their masters' right-hand men, they naturally have to strictly discipline people in places that their masters cannot take care of, to prevent the people below from having undue thoughts because their masters are too talkative.

The flower baskets were ready, and the next day was the bustling opening of the end of the month restaurant. Early in the morning, Ming Lanying took Ning'er, Aunt Cai, and a few maids to watch the excitement in the private tea room opposite the restaurant.

In front of the restaurant are Ming Lanying's custom-made wedding doors and flower baskets. The novel style also attracts many people.

There was a space in front of the door, and the atmosphere group invited by Ming Lanying to play gongs and drums was playing hard. Before it was time to open the door, the atmosphere group was warming up.

With the support of the previous leaflets and discount coupons, as well as the eye-catching welcome door, beautiful large flower baskets, and lively atmosphere, hundreds of people have gathered in front of the restaurant branch.

There was a lively scene of empty streets.

Several waiters at the branch held up wooden signs indicating queues and organized the scene at the top of their voices, so that there would be no chaos despite the large number of people.

Shopkeeper Li had arranged the original store and came all the way from the original store to help with the arrangements. Now looking at so many people outside the door, he felt a little nervous.

Through the gap, I saw the smiling Ming Lanying and others on the second floor of the teahouse opposite, and I immediately regained my courage.

He has Princess Yanbei's back, what does he have to be afraid of!This is all free money!
The auspicious time has come, and the atmosphere team can finally take a break after playing for a long time.

Shopkeeper Li, wearing a maroon red coat, came out with a smile and said a few auspicious words, then stretched out his arms and lifted it hard.

The big red flower satin on the plaque and the red cloth on the couplets on both sides of the door were removed together, and the door behind shopkeeper Li also opened wide.

The waiter and cashier are ready to go. The head chef and assistant chef in the back kitchen have already heated up the pot and prepared a sufficient amount of semi-finished dishes. Everyone pricked up their ears to listen to what was going on outside.

Shopkeeper Li raised his hand with a smile, "Everyone, please come in!"

Under the waiter's greeting in advance, hundreds of people sat down in an orderly manner to ask for their orders. After a while, the waiter's high-pitched and powerful voice sang the names of the dishes in the restaurant.

The assistant chef in the kitchen immediately wrote down various dishes, and the rows of chefs took action, and soon the aroma filled the air.

There was already a long queue in front of the branch, and the manpower was tighter than expected. Ming Lanying raised her hand, and Grandma Cai immediately ordered a few servants she brought behind her to help.

Ming Lanying looked at the lively and busy branch with a smile, mentally calculating today's profits, and the smile on her lips never faded.

Ning'er watched for a while and realized that his mother was really powerful.

In his mind, there is no distinction between scholars, peasants, industrialists, and merchants, no distinction between high and low, only distinctions between good and bad achievements.

Scholars include scholars who serve the country and the people, and corrupt officials.

Among businessmen, there are good businessmen who work for the benefit of the country, and there are also profiteers who will not do anything without profit.

In Ning'er's eyes, his mother is a good businessman, because her mother makes money to buy food and medicinal materials and send them to the soldiers on the front line to protect their homes and country, so that they can eat well and have enough medicinal materials to treat them even if they are injured. .

Ning'er shook her feet slightly, but when she thought that she was a calm little adult, she slowly stopped moving.

If Ming Lanying knew that she was so great in the eyes of her son, she would probably blush immediately.

She simply likes to make more money, and sending things to the front line is only profitable.

She's not a bad person.

Ah!
