Bai Erlang was picking cherries to eat. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Princess Danyang? I seem to know her..."
Everyone turned to look at him, Zhou Man said: "Princess Danyang also gave you a gift when you and Mingda got married."
Bai Shandao: "Consort Xue has been in the capital for the past two years. You should have seen him in the palace."
Princesses in the capital usually attend family banquets and other events together with the clan.
Bai Erlang scratched his head and said: "I mean, I seem to have seen Princess Danyang in that miscellaneous bookstore, and it was about the princess and the consort."
Of course, he didn't quite remember Princess Danyang. There were too many relatives in the royal family, not to mention the emperor's sons and daughters, but also the sons of the late emperor, which were too many.
Changyu's eyes widened and he became excited, "I know, I know this. Is it about Aunt Danyang's reluctance to sit at the same table with my uncle when they first got married?"
Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining brightly, "Yes, that's exactly what happened. I just don't know why it's not in His Majesty's Daily Record. Instead, it was stuffed in the miscellaneous book room with just a few pieces of paper."
They were in the middle of talking when Mingda came over. She couldn't help but smile and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Bai Erlang: "We are talking about Princess Danyang."
The late emperor had many daughters, nineteen in total. Of course, there are not so many still alive today.
But the reason why so many princesses Bai Erlang knew about this aunt was because she appeared in the miscellaneous book room.
But the things written down in the miscellaneous books were not as exciting as the gossip Changyu heard in the palace, so she lowered her voice and quietly shared her own gossip.
Since it wasn't a bad thing, everyone quietly pricked up their ears to listen.
"Aunt Danyang is pretty, has good literary talent, and prides herself on being very high. My uncle is actually not bad, but maybe not as good as other uncles. I didn't say this, it was said by an aunt," Chang Yu said: "
Although my uncle comes from a family of military commanders and has made great achievements, he is still inferior compared to other uncles."
You will know it by looking at their respective achievements.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. Chang Yu thinks the most important thing is, "Uncle Xue looks too honest."
If she was prettier, she felt Aunt Danyang wouldn't care about this.
Wei Yu couldn't help but turn to look at her.
Chang Yu saw it and said goodbye: "Don't look at me, you are better looking than my uncle, and you have literary talent..."
Her father is Wei Zhi, otherwise she wouldn't be very happy.
Wei Yu didn't know what to think about it. Anyway, it was a bit sweet. He suppressed the joy in his heart and said calmly: "Don't talk nonsense."
In front of everyone, are you ashamed or not?
Chang Yu ignored him and continued to whisper to them: "Uncle Xue is too honest. At that time, someone told my father that Uncle Xue was too rural. When I heard about it, I was very angry and even more reluctant to talk to Uncle Xue."
Let’s sit together.”
After the princess got married for several months, she did not sleep with her consort, nor did she want to sit at the same table with him, so all kinds of gossip spread around the palace, and naturally reached the emperor's ears.
When the emperor heard that his sister was at odds with her brother-in-law because of such a thing, he couldn't help laughing. After laughing for a while, he simply invited all the brothers-in-law and brothers-in-law to the palace, and of course, his sisters.
The emperor led a group of princes-in-law to hold the match. No matter what his abilities were, the emperor defeated all the brothers-in-law and brothers-in-law. Then he deliberately lost to the prince-in-law Xue in the competition. In front of everyone, the emperor praised him greatly.
Prince Consort Xue.
At the emperor's table, he would drink with him, throw pots with him, and talk with him, making Xue Prince Consort a focal point among the consorts.
Princess Danyang's heart knot was instantly resolved. When she returned with her consort, she was happily married to Meimei. For more than twenty years, the couple has always had a good relationship.
Even though Prince Consort Xue has not had the opportunity to go on an expedition in recent years, and his official position has long been no longer comparable to that of other Prince Consorts, the couple has gotten better and better. Anyway, they are happy every day, but they are getting more and more harmonious, so this is a good story.
Such small talk is not very obstructive.
Manbao thought for a while and then asked: "Does Princess Danyang like to eat it?"
"Like it," Chang Yu said, "Is there anyone in this world who doesn't like eating it?"
Food is the most important thing in a person's life.
No one could express any objection, because no one here could say that they disliked eating. Even Wei Yu, who was so temperate, had to say, "Food is the most important thing for the people."
Changyu raised her head proudly, and she said to Mingda: "According to this trend, it won't take long for all the shops on your street to be rented out, and it will definitely be busy by then."
Mingda was not so optimistic. He shook his head and said, "My uncles and aunts helped me because they saw my difficulty. They may not be able to bring many people. I prefer to rent it to business travelers."
Because they are serious about doing business, they will rack their brains to attract people to come in.
Man Bao nodded with deep understanding, "They won't be in a hurry to open. I don't know how long it will take to decorate and attract customers. But the location they occupy is good."
Some people wanted to help Mingda and felt that it was difficult to rent shops in her new city, so they rented one or two of them as a sign of fun, but some people wanted to take advantage.
After Zhou Man fought against Chen Yushi for Princess Changyu at the Great Court Meeting, everyone knew that the population of the new city was not very large, and Princess Changyu even opened a treasure pavilion in order to win over the population for Princess Mingda.
Many people thought that with the endorsement of the two princesses, the business in this new city would be great in the future, so they also sent people to rent a house. However, after renting the house, he did not use it for himself, but changed hands and rented it out again.
When Mingda checked the accounts, he felt confused. He felt that these people had rented too many shops.
After Bai Er followed her to inspect the shops, he found that the renovation of these shops had not started yet. Instead, there were people who were bringing business travelers here, as if they wanted to see the shops. He became a little angry and said to Ming Da: "They are asking for it."
I’m renting it.”
Mingda was puzzled, "What then?"
"Then there may be something wrong with our steward." He said: "Why don't the business travelers who come to the shop rent a shop directly from our steward, but rent second-hand shops with these people? Is their rent cheaper than ours?"
That's impossible. If it's cheaper, wouldn't they want to add more money to it, for what purpose?
Remembering what Mingda said last time when he came back that the steward wanted to bully Zhou Man, Bai Erlang said unhappily: "Let's replace him now."
Bai Erlang's pillow style was still very strong, so Mingda started to think about it seriously. After a while, he nodded and said: "Okay, but who should I change?"
The reason why she didn't change before was because she had no useful people. Unlike Zhou Man, she had so many brothers behind her. She basically just had to move her strength towards one place, and she had a group of brothers and nephews behind her to help. So after all,
Get up, Man Bao has more people than she does.
Bai Erlang thought for a while and then said: "Execute him and select people from the imperial village. If that doesn't work, we will give the orders bit by bit. Anyway, now we only care about this imperial village. The most important thing now is
How do you think about snatching the business travelers who want to rent a shop from those people?"
Yes, Bai Erlang wanted to rob someone directly, but he couldn't do it too obviously, otherwise it would bring bad reputation to Mingda.
Mingda was also deep in thought, and the couple thought about it all night but couldn't come up with a good idea.
When they entered the palace the next day, they happened to meet Bai Shan and Man Bao, who were about to enter the palace as errands. Bai Shan heard the words and said, "Just make a notice."
Man Bao's eyes brightened and he said, "Let people write two big notices, one on the street and one at the end of the street. Business travelers who are interested in renting a shop will naturally come to you without you having to grab them yourself."
Bai Erlang, who was planning to secretly send someone to cut off his beard, his eyes lit up.
