Chapter 405: Maximizing profits

Here, except for the weirdo Qi Bao'er, you can buy anything you can think of.

Now, there’s just one question. It seems like there’s nothing you need to buy.

Qi Bao'er was made a princess, and the emperor rewarded her with several boxes of jewelry and cloth in addition to those mentioned in the imperial edict.

When Qi Baoer was the county head, she not only received monthly benefits, but also received "county head benefits" every month, such as cloth and grain, fruits and vegetables. Although she was not in the capital, she

Every month, the housekeeper will go to collect it on behalf of the county government.

The Qi family comes from a poor background, and any one of these things is already a treasure to them. Now that they come in piles, they are already a little bit intolerable.

Although life is getting better now, for them, it is still enough to not have to worry about food and clothing.

For those who are accustomed to saving money, it would be sinful to spend money randomly when they have piles at home.

I only wandered into a few shops near the inner city, and except for Qibao'er, everyone came out withered.

If everything is neat, it is really neat, if it is good, it is really good, if it is valuable, it is also really expensive.

There are no arrogant customers here as expected, nor are there coquettish and brainless nobles. The waiters in each shop also have a first-class attitude towards customers like them who just come in to take a look without buying anything.

We greet guests with a smile and see them off respectfully.

But the more this happens, the more people in the Qi family feel like they are just shopping and not buying anything.

Looking at the smiling waiter at the door of the shop at the back, I felt a little embarrassed to walk over.

"Sir, let's sit there." Seeing that everyone was no longer interested, Qi Bao'er lay on the back of old man Qi, raised his head and pointed in a direction.

The old man Qi looked along and said, "Hey, I know this place, Deyuan Restaurant."

"become."

Shopping is so expensive that I can’t bear to do it, but it’s okay to go to Deyuan Salou to spend money. I’m a future partner.

Old man Qi and Qi Baoer agreed that the rest of the family basically had no right to object, and the group went straight to Deyuan Restaurant.

It's not dinner time yet. Although the top floor of Deyuan Restaurant is the teahouse, perhaps everyone is busy wandering around the street at this moment, and there are still several empty private rooms in the teahouse.

"Wow, the capital is the capital, it's really lively." Da Lang put his hands on the window and looked down, his face full of exclamations that he had never seen the world before.

The feeling of being condescending and just watching the excitement is simply not good.

Next to him, Qi Kangtai was usually very steady, but he was only fifteen years old. At this moment, he was also leaning on the edge of the window and looking at the street with people coming and going below. The expression on his face was almost the same as that of Da Lang.

As expected, the saying that people become better with age, the most stable person now is Old Man Qi, holding tea and drinking it without even looking down.

Isn’t it just that there are more people? What’s the point?

Suddenly, he seemed to have remembered something and came closer to Qi Bao'er and whispered: "My dear, do you still remember those two pieces of gold cakes and the land deed?"

Qi Baoer chewed tea and nodded, remembering that the things were still placed in her space.

After swallowing the tea, he drank the tea and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, sir, I remember this matter. I asked Mr. Wu to help me inquire about it last time."

After hearing these words, the old man Qi's mood not only did not improve at all, but became even heavier, "... Darling, I have always been worried. Do you think the lady named Qi is from the Duke of Qi's palace?"

After what happened in Pingcheng, the Qi family and the Duke of Qi's family had settled their grudges. Even if the baby that was pregnant by the aunt was not the eldest son's fault, they and the Duke of Qi's family would never get along.

They belong to the kind that as long as the other party doesn't cause trouble for them, it's best to never interact with them.

If the lady he barely saved back then was really from the Duke of Qi's house, and they returned the things, the Duke of Qi's house would be unable to bear it and get involved with them in one way or another for this reason.

In the past, old man Qi wouldn't think too much about it, but since his granddaughter became the county lord and now the princess, he had to think more about it when something happened.

You have to think about the bad things first. What if the Duke of Qi has a grudge and he has this opportunity to get close to them and seek revenge?

Qi Bao'er didn't know that her father was now somewhat delusional. After hearing this, she thought about it and felt that it was possible, but it shouldn't be big.

"Sir, Qi is a common surname in our Qilin Kingdom. There are many people with the surname Qi in Beijing, and there is not only one Duke of Qi.

Besides, no matter what the Duke of Qi does, he will never marry his daughter to Yingzhou."

Qi Kang'an listened for a while and asked a little uncertainly: "Could it be that my eldest wife harmed my concubine?"

Qi Bao'er firmly stretched out her little fat finger and shook it, "Sir, if I live in a small family, what you are talking about is still possible, like the Duke of Qi. If the wife hates the concubine, the concubine may find a way to kick her out.

It is possible to open it, or even to kill it, but a concubine will not do it.

Not only will he not do it, but he will also find a good match for them and add a good match-in-law to their family."

Old man Qi thought the same thing. A concubine would still fight for family property, but a concubine would only have to pay a dowry to get married. If she finds a good marriage partner, she can also earn some betrothal gifts.

Qi Kang'an has been taught a lot by Qi Bao'er recently. From time to time, Fang Qi will tell him things about Beijing, intentionally or unintentionally. For many things, he no longer only sees the surface like in the past.

For example, what his daughter just said was what he was thinking of: maximizing interests.

The concubine was not qualified to inherit, but Fang Qi told him privately that in Beijing, it was not 100% on this point, and there was a lot of room for maneuver.

For example, if there are no legitimate children in the family, someone will put the concubine's son in the name of his legitimate wife to become a legitimate son, or directly hand it over to his legitimate wife to raise him as a biological child. In this case, as long as there is nothing to do, look for them.

Trouble, it can also be inherited.

According to Fang Qi's implicit meaning: Although the Qilin Kingdom has a clear distinction between direct descendants and concubines, the battles between direct descendants and concubines among the powerful are basically very cruel.

As a legitimate wife, if she has no children, in order to be a legitimate wife, she will find one or two bastards to raise for herself.

If the legitimate child is killed, the legitimate wife will also be forced or voluntarily give birth to one or two children in order to stabilize her status, no matter how sad she is.
