The villain prince is three and a half years old

The restaurant has two floors and is not big, accommodating up to a hundred people for dinner.

The shop was a grocery store, selling everything from oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, needles and thread, candles, and children's toys. It was just like the small supermarket at the entrance of the community in my previous life.

Whether it is a small bookstore, a small supermarket or a small restaurant, the turnover is average.

"What is the Ninth Young Master thinking about?"

On the way back to Xue's house in the carriage, Xue Renli asked while waving a fan.

"We want to use technological innovation as a spear to penetrate the barriers of traditional industries and build a differentiated competitive moat. Through capital linkage and ecological cooperation, we will dismantle industry boundaries and achieve a synergistic effect where the sum of the parts is greater than the sum of the parts..."

Xue Renli was stunned as he listened, feeling as if the child was talking about something very profound, but no matter how hard he listened, he couldn't understand.

[Intimacy: 60 → 61]

"......?" Xia Jing stopped chanting and looked at Xue Renli in astonishment.

Can this also increase intimacy?

"You are worthy of being Brother Xiao's nephew." Xue Renli felt that he had benefited a lot and had great respect for Xia Jing.

Xia Jing sighed and made a mental note that he could sell Xue Renli's health products when he needed money.

He turned around and found that Xiao Tianzi was also looking at him with admiration. This is also for sale.

Sighing, he said bluntly, "I'm just thinking about how to make more money."

"What's there to think about?" Xue Renli said with a bit of disappointment. "When the Ninth Young Master grows up, the money will come naturally."

Xia Jing nodded, it was true.

The two people came to the same conclusion, but their thinking process was different.

Xue Renli thought that when the ninth prince grew up and became a prince, the clan office would give him money every year, Emperor Kangning would grant him property, and flatterers would give him silver.

Xia Jing thought that when he ascended the throne, all the money in the national treasury would be his, so he wouldn't have to worry too much about money.

However, that future money cannot be used now. As a person who is used to being poor, when he encounters an opportunity to make money, he still wants to make some money.

More importantly, the shop is right there, how can I resist not doing something?

It's like seeing a straight, unbranched branch on the road. How can you resist picking it up and waving it a few times?

The question is, what to do?

Many plans flashed through Xia Jing's mind.

For example, selling Ning Shouxu's handshake tickets, opening a shop called "Ning Zhixing DIY Handicrafts," Empress Xian's teaching on how to win the emperor's heart, Eunuch Xu's discussion on the pros and cons of wielding a sword to slash your wisdom, Ning Chengrui's three-day crash course in boxing...

The carriage drove into the gate of the Xue Mansion, and the Ninth Prince also finalized his business plan.

Unfortunately, none of the above options work, so I can only choose mediocre and standard projects.

Since ancient times, it is easiest to make money from women, so start with women!

……

The prince can ask for leave, but the tutor cannot. If the tutor does not study hard, how can he lead the prince to study hard?

So early this morning, Xue Zhaoju went to school and has not returned yet.

Xue Zhixi sat on the threshold of the yard, not daring to run around for fear of being in trouble with Xue Huaiyuan.

Xue Huaiyuan did not come. With the warnings from Madam Zhao and the old lady, he did not dare to act, but his sister had no scruples.

Xue Huaiyuan's sister Xue Zhenzhen, led a maid, and ambushed in front of Xue Zhixi's yard, waiting for Xue Zhixi to come out.

We can only wait for Xue Zhixi to come out first. If we break in, it would be a robbery! Miss Xue Zhenzhen is very principled.

She and her maid had been waiting for an hour, but still hadn't seen Xue Zhixi leave. They were extremely anxious. Xue Zhixi should have either gone home or gone out. What was she doing sitting on the doorstep, not wanting to come out?

"Miss, someone is coming." The maid hurriedly led Xue Zhenzhen to hide more secretly.

Three people came from a distance, a child and two adults. The child walked in front and the adults walked behind. They should be a master and two servants.

The leaves in front were too dense, and Xue Zhenzhen couldn't see the three people clearly. She only saw three figures walking towards Xue Zhixi's house.

After a while, the four figures came back. Xue Zhenzhen risked leaning out to take a look, and the extra one was Xue Zhixi!

She screamed, ran out from her hiding place and stopped the four people.

So what if there were only four people? Her maid had practiced martial arts, so she could easily defeat three alone! As for the extra person, of course Miss Xue Zhenzhen would take care of it herself!

When she arrived in front of Xue Zhixi, Xue Zhenzhen put her hands on her hips, stamped her feet, and was about to speak when she suddenly felt something was wrong.

She looked back, and the place was empty. The maids she had been fighting against three times were nowhere to be seen. Now she was fighting against four!

Chapter 118 The Ninth Prince's Life Story (

"Xue Zhenzhen, what are you doing!"

A familiar voice rang out, awakening the fear deep in Xue Zhenzhen's heart. She looked up and realized why the maid was gone. Among the two adults following behind, one was the most lawless man in the Xue family - Xue Renli!

As the most legitimate heir of the Xue family and a playboy, Xue Renli is best at disciplining disobedient servants and children.

Xue Zhenzhen shuddered, tears welled up in her eyes, she stammered and couldn't speak, and her hands on her hips were folded in front of her chest.

"But you came to play with us?"

A childish voice sounded, it was the boy standing next to Xue Zhixi.

Xue Zhenzhen grabbed the life-saving straw and nodded quickly: "Yes, I came to play with this brother and sister Zhixi."

Xue Renli stared at her, looked her up and down, but did not expose her.

Xue Zhenzhen lowered her head and followed the team, understanding the sorrow of dying before achieving success.

She turned and glared at the maid who had come over. After realizing the enemy was so powerful, she actually abandoned her master and ran away!

The maid was wronged. Xue Zhenzhen ran too fast and she couldn't stop him. When she caught up, she was blocked by the man behind the boy. The man's martial arts were much stronger than hers, and since he was a stranger, she didn't dare to move for fear of a conflict.

The group walked through the winding corridor and arrived at a courtyard.

Xue Zhenzhen was surprised. She recognized this courtyard. Among the ownerless courtyards in the Xue Mansion, this was the best one. She forgot exactly why it was so good, but her mother had been thinking about it and had mentioned it many times before.

Mother wanted to bring Brother Yuan to this courtyard, so she forced him to work hard for a year, and he successfully won the first place in the school. She took Brother Yuan's essay and went to ask for help from grandmother.

Xue Zhenzhen didn't know what her grandmother said. She only knew that her mother came back furious and said it was all Xue Zhaoju's fault. If Xue Zhaoju hadn't been so ungrateful and tied for first place with Brother Yuan, her grandmother would have definitely rewarded her with a yard.

This is how the feud between Brother Yuan and Xue Zhaoju began.

Xue Zhenzhen really thought that she didn't have to worry about it anymore, because the yard had an owner, and that was the boy in front of her.

Xue Renli led everyone to this courtyard and turned to leave. Xue Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief and clasped her hands to Xia Jing: "Thank you for saving me, brother. I will definitely repay you in the future."

She looked at Xue Zhixi again: "The mountains remain green and the water flows on forever. You are lucky today."

After saying that, she and the maid ran out of the yard.

Seeing that Xia Jing did not stop Xue Zhenzhen, Xue Zhixi also moved her feet and tried to run away. Before she reached the door, she was stopped by the boy.

"Where are you going?" Xia Jing was taking inventory of the equipment in the yard, which he had just asked Xue Renli to get.

"Master, Xue Zhenzhen ran away. I'll go and call her back for you." Xue Zhixi said.

"It doesn't matter if one runs away, come and help." Xia Jing waved to Xue Zhixi.

Xue Zhixi had no choice but to go to the boy and, under his instructions, tinker with the equipment on the ground.

Xue Zhixi didn't want to get close to the Ninth Young Master, not for any other reason, but because in the stories her second brother told her, all illegitimate children were the source of trouble.

She just wants to live a peaceful life and not get into trouble.

"Yes, this is it, crush it." Xia Jing handed over the stone pestle.

Xue Zhixi secretly observed the boy and compared him with the appearance of the third prince in her memory. Sure enough, there was some resemblance between them, which further confirmed her guess.

She was distressed, as the other party seemed to have set his sights on her, and she didn't know what to do.

Although the boy had helped her and her second brother before, Xue Zhixi knew at a young age that helping someone once didn't make them a good person. Even a good person could bring disaster. Moreover, the disaster that her second brother had suffered before was caused by the boy.

I can only hope that my second brother can rescue me!

The second brother now is no longer the second brother he used to be. Yesterday, the second brother came back and told his family that the place in the academy was originally given to Xue Huaiyuan, but Xue Huaiyuan didn't want to leave home, so he took the place and got it by chance.

He also said that he met the son of a prominent family in the academy.

Second Brother never lied, though he would sometimes exaggerate. If he said he was the son of a prominent figure, then the other family must be more powerful than the Xue family. If he said he was a close friend of the son of a prominent figure, then that proved their relationship was indeed extraordinary.

The attitude of the mansion also proved this point. The second brother's food, clothing and other expenses all increased to the same level as Xue Huaiyuan.

What's that word? "Dog relying on the power of others"? It doesn't seem to be that word, so I'll just use it for now. Second brother, relying on the power of others, has greatly increased his status in the Xue Mansion. Of course, he can't compare to the Third Prince's illegitimate son, but protecting his sister from him shouldn't be a problem.

Xue Zhixi looked up. The sun was tilting to the west. It was time for her second brother to come back. Before Xia Jing called her, she excused herself to get a handkerchief and went back to her room to tell her mother to come find her when she got home.

Before that, just listen to what the Ninth Young Master says.

"Sir, what are we doing?" Xue Zhixi asked curiously.

"Handmade soap." Xia Jing gave an answer that was very fresh in ancient times and very common in modern times.

If you want to make money from women, soap is a great way. In his previous life, Xia Jing had made a lot of handmade soap with clients in order to negotiate business.

Because he had never imagined time travel, he had no recollection of the magic tools. He only remembered the handmade soap and the cement he had seen while working on the project. He remembered the soap most clearly, but the cement was a bit vague. As for the gunpowder, he only knew a widely circulated formula.

When the time was right, he planned to give Ning Zhixing the cement and gunpowder formulas to study. As for this handmade soap, it wasn't very useful, so he just made it for fun.

There are also a small number of technical options in the game system, but they will not be unlocked until you become emperor.

Xia Jing sat on the steps, continuing to search through the inventory in his memory, and thought of some knowledge about spinning machines. In his previous life, he had experienced spinning and weaving with that customer.

He was so lost in thought that he didn't notice an angry boy walking towards the gate.

That was Xue Zhaoju who had just returned from school.

Xue Zhaoju heard from his mother that an unfamiliar boy had forcibly called his sister away, so he hurried over to check.

In front of the courtyard gate, he tried hard to compose his demeanor and expression, and imitated the eighth prince Ning Chengrui, stepped into the courtyard, ready to bring charges.

When Xue Zhixi saw her second brother, her eyes lit up, but she did not stop the work in her hands.

She called Xue Zhaoju over, which was similar to a display of arms. Xue Zhaoju was now a man of status, so he could ask the Ninth Young Master to give him some face.

This does not mean not to interact with her, but when you do interact with her, don't pull her hair, step on her toes, pinch her shoulders, or kick her calves.

So she continued to do what Xia Jing instructed her to do.

Xue Zhaoju, however, did not think so. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his sister doing odd jobs in the yard. His pretended indignation turned into genuine anger.

Even though he had never liked his sister's personality, she was still his sister, the concubine of the Xue family, and the master. How could she do the work of a servant here?

"Stop!" Xue Zhaoju came in front of Xue Zhixi and said loudly.

Xue Zhixi realized something was wrong and hurriedly explained, "Nineth Master just asked me to make one thing."

Xue Zhaoju refused to listen and waved his hand, saying, "Go back. I will handle the rest."

Xue Zhaoju, who was with the Ninth Prince, was very powerful. He didn't know the Ninth Prince's identity, but no matter what, he couldn't be compared with the Ninth Prince.

As the ninth prince's companion, he is not afraid of anyone except those with titles!

If you think about it carefully, this Ninth Young Master actually shares the word "Nine" with the Ninth Prince. This is already a great disrespect!

"Second brother!" Xue Zhixi reached out to pull Xue Zhaoju, wanting to keep the matter under control peacefully.

She didn't feel ashamed of being ordered around, but Xue Zhaoju, who had just achieved a leap in status, was very sensitive.

Xue Zhaoju pushed Xue Zhixi away, turned around, and walked towards the Ninth Young Master on the steps with extraordinary momentum.

The figure covered Xia Jing's body, and the boy looked up: "What's the matter?"

Xue Zhixi nervously followed Xue Zhaoju, making plans to kneel down and apologize to the Ninth Young Master if her second brother said anything unpleasant.

She was overthinking.

Xue Zhaoju stared at the boy's face in a daze. These facial features, this face shape, why do they look more and more familiar the more he looks at them? Why do they look so much like himself serving the Ninth Prince?

Only then did he realize that the "nine" in the Ninth Young Master and the Ninth Prince actually meant the same nine.

He was about to kneel down, but Xia Jing raised his foot and pressed it against his knee to prevent him from kneeling.

The fewer people who knew about the Ninth Prince's departure from the palace, the better. Xue Zhaoju's kneeling exposed Xia Jing. At the courtyard gate, Xue Zhenzhen and the maid were secretly watching. When they heard that Xue Zhaoju had come to the courtyard, they came over to join in the fun.

"You've come just in time," Xia Jing said. "Go, burn the grass and keep the ashes."

"Yes!" Xue Zhaoju quickly responded and turned to run towards the equipment.
