Lucky men are the last to have children, and fertile women are the last to have children

Chapter 519: The Delicate and Soft Sister-in-law VS the Black-hearted Brother-in-law Who Was Borrowed for Seed 69
In the capital, Yu Yao has already finished her confinement. Her figure has recovered quite well and her complexion is also very good. Her complexion is rosy and fair, as white as porcelain jade. She does not look like a woman who has just given birth to two children.

Yu'er and Yue'er have grown up a lot and have started practicing rolling over, but they still can't do it. They babble every day and it seems like they are struggling. Sometimes Yu Yao wants to help them.

She knew that this was a process of children's growth, so she did not interfere and let them turn the pages on their own.

Someone was asked to install a guardrail around the bed, and some stuffed dolls and toys for practicing grasping were placed on the bed.

Yu Yao thought that Chen Mufeng was an official now, and it would be inconvenient for his family not to have a carriage. He couldn't take Li Mingxuan's carriage every day when he went to work at the Hanlin Academy, right?

It's inconvenient anyway. In addition to the carriage, I have to go to the pawnshop to buy an attendant.

After all, Chen Mufeng is an official of the sixth rank. It would be inconvenient for him to do things without an attendant. He can't do everything by himself.

She thought about it and called Aunt Liu.

"Madam, what can I do for you?"

Aunt Liu came over quickly and asked respectfully after bowing.

"Aunt Liu, go to the market tomorrow and buy a suitable carriage. It doesn't have to be too luxurious, just one that matches the master's status. Also, go to the livestock market to pick out a good horse. Go to the brokerage to pick out some people, including a driver, attendants, servants, and maids. You can estimate the number of people yourself."

Yu Yao thought for a while and then gave the order.

Although he was an official of the sixth rank and his house was not big, he still had to buy what was necessary so as not to let others look down on him.

The house was just too small, so it looked like she needed to buy a new one. She did have a lot of money in her space, but it was inconvenient to use it.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu quickly agreed, "Don't worry, Madam. I will go and take a look tomorrow morning."

"By the way, if you have time, go and see if there is a suitable shop for rent. It should be suitable for opening a clothing store."

She held a teddy bear doll to tease Yue'er, then remembered something and whispered another instruction.

Aunt Liu was stunned and looked at her in confusion, "Why did Madam want to open a clothing store?"

Yu Yao smiled faintly upon hearing this, and did not hide anything, "Everything in the family needs money, and there are also interpersonal relationships, which are all not small expenses. The master has just entered the officialdom, and the salary is so much. Don't I want to find a way to make money?"

Few officials in the capital city really live on their salaries. Most of them have businesses in private. However, these businesses are not managed by men but by the women in the family.

If one really had to live on the salary from the court, he wouldn't be in financial difficulty, but he would have to live like an honest official.

Aunt Liu also reacted when she heard it, and said with a smile: "Madam is really virtuous and capable. It is a blessing for the master to marry you."

She smiled faintly and didn't care, "I just want to make life easier for my family."

Then she remembered something and added, "By the way, Aunt Liu, when you go out, please ask around to see if there are any suitable houses for sale nearby. This house is too small now."

"Okay, ma'am. I'll make a note of it."

Liu Shen nodded in response, then retreated.

Yu Yao left the child with Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhao, and started to prepare to open a clothing store.
She had opened a clothing store in the monk dimension, so she was now very familiar with the business and understood the operation.

She first drew a number of clothing drawings according to her memory, integrating the characteristics of various dimensions, which was absolutely eye-catching.

We also hired someone to make a hardcover album so that customers can choose from it.

Afterwards, she got busy, picking out some fabrics herself and having someone post a notice recruiting needlework masters.

Although a shop has not been found yet, we can recruit people first.

After a few days of hard work, Aunt Liu finally found a suitable shop.

Located at No. 18, Main Street, East District, it is a bustling commercial district in Beijing.

The flow of people is extremely huge. Merchants coming from all over the country, ordinary people, young men from noble families, and ladies and young ladies basically go there if they want to seek excitement.

Li Mingxuan's residence in the capital is nearby.

Yu Yao went to take a look in person. It was a two-story shop, spacious and bright, with two red lanterns hanging at the door and a yard at the back, which was quite suitable.

Because it is located in the capital's bustling commercial district with a huge flow of people, the rent of this shop is also very high.

If you rent it, it would cost fifty taels per month, and if you want to buy it all at once, it would cost fifteen thousand taels.

It’s much more expensive than a house.

But it is understandable, after all, it is a popular shop and a prosperous commercial district in the capital.

Yu Yao prefers to buy it all at once, to avoid the situation where the landlord gets jealous and raises the rent when the business picks up, or suddenly stops renting the property and wants to start his own business.

She thought about it and bought it directly.

There are countless gold, silver and jewelry in her space. If we really talk about assets, it is probably richer than the national treasury. They are all accumulated from various dimensions.

It's just not convenient to take it out and use it.

She needed a legitimate source of income.

After renting the shop, Yu Yao personally designed the shop decoration drawings and then found someone to decorate it.

However, she told Aunt Liu that the shop was rented.

The main reason was that he was afraid that Chen Mufeng would ask and it would be difficult to explain the source of such a large sum of money.

During this period, the family added a lot of people, including the official Chen Fu, the coachman Chen Dali, and two followers, namely Chen Wen and Chen Wu.

They are all family-born children, have signed a death contract, and are absolutely loyal.

The name was also chosen by Yu Yao, it was not originally called this.

Selling oneself as a slave, naturally one does not have a name of one’s own. One is called whatever the master gives him.

She bought four servants and six maids, all of whom were carefully selected by Aunt Liu.

Although they had all signed a death contract, in order to prevent being bribed, Yu Yao secretly affixed a loyalty talisman to each of them, so that there would be no risk of error.

Chen Mufeng is now the third prince's man. Once he enters the officialdom, he will definitely have political enemies, so he naturally has to protect his home.

With so many people in the house at once, it is a little too small to accommodate them all. We can only squeeze in temporarily. Once the shop is open, we will find an excuse for booming business to move to a bigger house.

It is worth mentioning that the housekeeper Zhou Fu was a man of real talent and learning. He had studied when he was young and passed the examination for a scholar. Later, his family fell into poverty and some things happened, so he had to sell himself into slavery.

He once worked as a housekeeper in a wealthy family. Because he was literate and good at management, he was highly valued by his master.

Unfortunately, his master committed a crime and his house was ransacked, so he was implicated as well. He was beaten but still forced to leave the house. Due to his severe injuries and no money for medical treatment, he could only wait to die on the street.

When Mrs. Liu went to the pawnbroker's shop, she happened to see him, asked about his experience, and then took him back.

After seeing the doctor, Yu Yao found him good and realized that he was a man of real talent and knowledge, so she bought him and asked someone to treat him.

He was even appointed as the housekeeper.

Chen Fu was filled with gratitude and kowtowed three times on the spot. "Thank you very much, Madam, for your appreciation. I will do my best to serve you and will never let you down."

"Since you have followed me, you are mine. As long as you are loyal, I will not treat you unfairly."

"Thank you ma'am."

Chen Fu said with a grateful look on his face.

Yu Yao waved her hand, quietly pasted a loyalty talisman, and waved for him to go down and recuperate.

A few days later, Chen Mufeng arrived in the capital, and a carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion.

The servant guarding the door was stunned for a moment when he saw a young man in brocade robe and with extraordinary demeanor getting off the carriage.

Not sure if this person is the master of the mansion.

He had just arrived and had not met Chen Mufeng.

I just heard from others that the master was the new top scholar, and was appointed an official by the emperor on the spot in the Golden Palace, entering the Hanlin Academy, with the position of sixth-rank editor.

Chen Mufeng took the luggage off the carriage. When the servant saw the luggage, he immediately realized that it was the master. He hurried forward to help and said respectfully, "Master, you are back?"

Chen Mufeng glanced at him. Although he had never seen him before, from his clothes and the way he addressed him, he knew that he was the servant that Yao'er had recently hired for the mansion.

He nodded slightly and asked, "How are the Madam and the two young masters doing recently?" "My Lord, the Madam and the two young masters are all doing well."

The servant answered quickly and took the luggage from Chen Mufeng.

Chen Mufeng breathed a sigh of relief. He had been back in his hometown to worship his ancestors for nearly two months. He was thinking about Yaoer and the two children all the time, wondering if they were okay and if anything happened to them.

This will let you know that everything is fine and you can put your mind at ease.

"Is the lady at the house now?"

Chen Mufeng walked into the courtyard and asked casually.

The servant followed behind with the luggage and replied, "Master, the Madam went to the shop on the commercial street in the East District."

Chen Mufeng was slightly startled. "Shop? What shop?"

He stopped and looked at the servant and asked.

The servant didn't expect him to stop suddenly and almost bumped into him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and steadied his body in time, so he didn't really hit him.

He did not dare to neglect it and quickly replied: "Master, my wife opened a clothing store in the East District Commercial Street. The store was just renovated two days ago. My wife is busy in the store now."

"A new clothing store?"

Chen Mufeng looked stunned. He didn't expect Yaoer to open a clothing store in Beijing. This was completely beyond his expectations.

He knew that Yao'er was quite talented in needlework. When she was in Quanshui Village, she had made embroidery and sold it.

Yaoer had also mentioned that she wanted to open a clothing store, but he thought it was just a whim of Yaoer's and didn't really take it to heart.

After all, opening a clothing store is not an easy task. It requires a lot of energy, time, and capital.

The two men did not have much money, so it was simply a pipe dream to open a clothing store.

He didn't know where Yaoer got the money to open a clothing store.

I'd like to go over and take a look now.

"Where is the shop? Take me over there to have a look."

Chen Mufeng collected his thoughts and gave instructions in a low voice.

"Ok."

The servant responded, put the luggage back into the courtyard, and drove a carriage out from the backyard.

The coachman Chen Dali sat in the front, and his two attendants Chen Wen and Chen Wu followed him.

The carriage that Chen Mufeng took when he came back had already returned. It was Li Mingxuan's family's carriage.

"I am Chen Wen, your subordinate, to greet you, Master."

"I am Chen Wu, your subordinate, to greet you, Master."

When Chen Wen and Chen Wu saw Chen Mufeng, they hurriedly bowed respectfully.

The two of them are Chen Mufeng's followers, and from now on they are only responsible for following Chen Mufeng's work. This is what Yu Yao decided.

Chen Mufeng didn't recognize the two people, but he knew they were servants in the mansion. Seeing the two people following him, he asked in confusion: "Who are you?"

Chen Wen and Chen Wu looked at each other, and then Chen Wen answered: "Master, we are the new followers bought by Madam. Madam asked us to follow you in the future, protect your safety, and obey your orders."

Both of them are martial artists. Even though they are not very powerful, they have no problem dealing with some thugs.

Chen Mufeng felt warm at heart when he heard this. Yao'er was careful, considerate and thoughtful, and she thought of everything carefully. She didn't seem like a country girl at all.

He didn't think much about the reason and just thought that Yao'er was born smart.

He nodded slightly, "Since it is my wife's arrangement, you will follow me from now on. As long as you are loyal, I will not treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, sir."

Chen Wen and Chen Wu were filled with gratitude. Although they had signed a death bond, if they met a generous and kind master, they would not only be able to have enough food and clothing, but they might also be able to learn some skills, or save some money, and get married and have children, or redeem themselves in the future.

The two men used to work as security guards in wealthy families, so they naturally understood these principles.

"Get in the car and take me to the ready-made clothing store owned by my wife."

Chen Mufeng gave a light instruction, then got on the carriage first and sat in the carriage.

"Yes, sir."

Chen Wen responded, then got on the carriage with Chen Wu, and both of them sat on the shaft.

As Chen Dali waved the whip, the carriage slowly moved towards the East District Commercial Street.

In the carriage, Chen Mufeng sat upright, but his mind couldn't help but recall every moment he spent with Yao'er, as well as the scene of their separation.

When he left, Yao'er was still in confinement after childbirth. When he came back, Yao'er had already finished her confinement and had opened a clothing store on the East District Commercial Street. She also had a lot of servants and followers in the house.

He smiled faintly. No wonder people say that it is best to marry a virtuous woman. Having a smart and virtuous wife can indeed save a man a lot of trouble.

He just didn't understand, Yao'er was so good, why didn't his mother like her?
Maybe my mother and Yao'er are born with incompatible temperaments. Fortunately, they are now separated from each other, so there will be no conflicts. This is good.

The carriage slowly arrived at the East District Commercial Street and finally stopped in front of a two-story shop with exquisite decoration in Jiangnan style.

"Master, we're here."

As Chen Wen's voice fell.

Chen Mufeng lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.

He looked up and saw a wooden plaque hanging on the door of the shop, with the words "Qi Luo Xiang" engraved on it. The handwriting was graceful yet elegant, and the decoration was also very much in the Jiangnan style.

Chen Mufeng nodded and was satisfied with the name of the store.

He walked into the shop and saw Yao'er directing several maids to arrange the clothes and hang them up in categories.

Hearing the footsteps, Yu Yao thought that a guest was coming in. She turned her head subconsciously and saw Chen Mufeng walking in with a smile.

She was slightly startled, then walked over with a smile, "Mu Feng, you're back? Have you dealt with the things at home?"

"Yes, it's been handled. I have already brought my parents, brother and sister-in-law to live in the county town."

Chen Mufeng nodded slightly and answered with a smile.

"Take him to live in the county town? What's going on?"

Yu Yao pulled him to sit down at the stone table in the backyard, and asked in confusion after hearing this.

Chen Mufeng did not hide anything and told her everything that happened at home, including how they got married, had two children, and the reactions of Wang and her family. He basically told her everything he needed to say.

Even though Yao'er would be unhappy to hear it, he still chose to say it.

It is best not to hide anything between husband and wife, otherwise misunderstandings will easily arise.

Another thing is, even if he didn't say it, Yao'er could guess it. It made no difference whether he said it or not.

Seeing that he had already informed his family about their relationship, Yu Yao did not say anything. Instead, she felt that the problem had been solved.

It will have to be told sooner or later anyway. Yu'er and Yue'er will also be included in the family tree, so it is definitely unrealistic to keep it a secret.

As for Wang's reaction, she was completely expecting it.

If she were there, she would probably really let Wang bang her head against the wall, or hand her a white silk scarf to see if Wang was really not afraid of death.

Not only did she not feel angry, but she regretted that she was not there, otherwise she would have definitely given the old hag a good beating.

"It's better to say it. It's something that needs to be said sooner or later."

Yu Yao nodded slightly. When she heard that he bought a house in the county town to settle his large family, she had no objection.

I just wonder where he got so much money.
