Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 272 Heading to Nanzhou
Zhao Wanyi responded. She heard that the imperial teacher couldn’t calculate either. He was indeed the imperial teacher’s teacher.

"But it doesn't matter who you marry." As long as the Marquis's Mansion doesn't fall.

Zhao Wanyi did not comment, "Of course."

She was born into a noble family, so even if she didn't become a queen, she couldn't marry into a lower class.

Zhao Wanyi knew very well that everything she had was given by her family. Since she enjoyed the honor, she should consider the family.

She couldn't go to the battlefield like the girls from the Liu family and win military merits for the family. She could only choose the best future within the range of options available to her.

"What about you? Are you leaving the capital?" Zhao Wanyi asked again.

"My business is still here. I will come to deliver goods and collect debts." She still has to learn bronze restoration techniques.

"Okay, if you have anything good in the future, remember to look for me first!"

Shen You gave her a look that said it was okay.

When leaving, Zhao Wanyi bowed to her as a woman's custom, and Shen You also returned the favor by bowing to her number one rich woman.

He had turned around and walked two steps, but suddenly thought of something and stepped back, "This is for you too."

"Blood medicine powder. There is a safety pill in the lid that can treat serious internal and external injuries. It can save lives, but don't take it carelessly."

Zhao Wanyi looked at her serious expression and said, "Am I that stupid? Would I take the medicine carelessly?!"

While saying this, he held the medicine bottle tightly in his hand like a treasure.

She had heard from her father that this medicine was truly a miracle drug, but there was too little of it and it was all used on the battlefield. Only experts had it.

It was so precious, yet she actually gave it to herself.

"Wait a minute too." Zhao Wanyi took off a butterfly peony gem gold hairpin from her head, "This is a reward from the palace. There is only one in the whole capital."

After saying that, he stuffed it into Shen You’s hand.

After all this time, the farewell ceremony was in vain.

Shen You walked out of the shop and carried the cloth she had just bought onto the carriage. Wen Zhi looked at her holding a hairpin and asked warily, "Was it a gift from someone else?"

In ancient times, if a man gave a hairpin as a gift, the meaning it represented was different.

"Yes, it was given to me by a big customer." Shen You said this deliberately.

"It looks like something from the palace. Is that guy so idle?" Wen Zhi frowned. Otherwise, should he find something else for the other party to deal with?
Shen You chuckled and walked forward with an unhappy expression.

"This was a gift from the rich lady of Daqi. It's not what you think."

Hearing this, Wen Zhi was instantly coaxed. It was a gift from a woman, so it was okay.

"If you have arranged things in the capital, prepare to go to Nanzhou Prefecture."

Shen You said that in order to help Da Qi select a suitable location to build a water conservancy project, she had to go and see it.

"Okay." Facing her smile, Wen Zhi's eyes were full of tenderness. He no longer looked like the Great Qi State Master fighting on the battlefield.

I returned to his house and had a meal. The ingredients in ancient times cannot be compared with those in modern times. The advantage is that they are natural and do not require any technology or hard work.

In addition, the chef’s cooking skills are good, the taste is good, and it is light and healthy.

"That's not right. The dishes made in your kitchen are obviously very good. You said there was nothing to eat in ancient times, so you came to my shop?"

Shen You looked at the person opposite.

Wen Zhi coughed lightly, his eyes sincere, "At that time, I hadn't appeared in front of the old emperor, I wasn't the imperial teacher, and I didn't live here."

"Really?" Shen You asked distrustfully.

"That's right." Wen Zhi remained calm, "And this dish is really not good."

"Let's just leave it at that." Shen You curled the corners of his mouth.

Nanzhou Prefecture is close to the capital city, and the journey is not far. It can be reached in one day by carriage or half a day by horse.

The shop only needs to be switched, but the place where the water conservancy project is built is not in the provincial capital, but in the county below, so it is still necessary to change transportation. "Are you okay with your injury?" Shen You looked at Wen Zhi with a worried look, "Why don't you rest for two days before going?"

Wen Zhi put down the teacup in his hand, and approached her, his beautiful eyes revealing a bit of temptation, "It's okay, you can check it out."

The clear voice and the smile in the eyes made Shen You's old face blush inexplicably.

The real way to bewitch people is not by direct touch, but by having such a handsome face in front of you, with eyes so dark that they seem to suck people in. Even without touching your fingers, his eyes clearly carry an invitation.

Shen You sat upright, not looking around.

It was because the housekeeper came quickly, otherwise she would have to say, "Okay."

The housekeeper was still wondering what was going on. The atmosphere was weird. Miss Shen was calm as ice, but the adults looked at him with a bit of disgust.

He knew that adults didn't like to be disturbed when they were resting, but wasn't this a study?

The housekeeper told this to the aunt in charge, who shook her head, saying that the master had just returned from the north and had a hard time being alone with Miss Shen.

in the afternoon.

Shen You and Wen Zhi have already appeared in Nanzhou Prefecture.

By the way, Shen You also has customers in this place, as Luo Ziya’s pharmacy is here.

Nanzhou is a prosperous place, and is one of the most prosperous prefectures in Da Qi.

There are many special desserts that are not available in the capital, and there are two well-known porcelain kilns, which also produce precious products and send them to the capital.

You can take a look when you have time.

Shen You got the map of this water system and planned to study it in the shop first to avoid being like a headless fly.

At this moment, in the capital, inside the imperial palace.

The funeral bell rang, heralding the death of the old emperor. For a time the entire capital was in mourning, and all weddings and banquets among the people had to be stopped during the period of national mourning.

The Great Qi still exists. No matter what, he is the father of the new monarch and basic etiquette must be observed.

White cloth was quickly hung in the palace, and no matter whether it was sincere or false, people had to cry a few times.

The one who cried most sincerely was the young concubine who was chosen to be buried with the emperor.

According to etiquette, as soon as the emperor died, they had to leave immediately. If they resisted, the eunuchs would also send them to death.

Li Heng presided over the situation wearing mourning clothes. People's way of addressing him had changed, and the only thing missing was a formal coronation ceremony.

He stood in front of the hall where the coffin was placed, his face calm, looking at Eunuch Wang beside him.

"Eunuch Wang is an old man in the palace, so it's fine if he is buried alive with the emperor."

Now that the edict of repentance has been issued, there is nothing left to cover up about what my father did in the past.

Hearing what he said, Eunuch Wang knelt down respectfully with trembling hands, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

"And the emperor's concubines." Li Heng said softly, "Those without children were sent to nunneries for asceticism."

That means you don’t have to die.

The concubines who heard this could not hide their excitement. Going into seclusion was hard, but it was better than being fed poison or strangled to death as a burial companion.

If there is someone to rely on at home, they can also arrange to send some things in.

The royal family had no objection. If there had been no edict of blaming himself, someone would have stood up to oppose it, accusing Li Heng of being unfilial and disobeying the orders of the late emperor.

But the edict of remorse and the letter were indeed disgraceful. The soldiers in the north have not been pacified yet, so it is unacceptable to keep the funeral simple.

Looking at the people kneeling before him, Li Heng lowered his eyes, his face expressionless.

My mother was buried in her hometown and enshrined in the imperial mausoleum, so she no longer had to accompany this person.

After he ascended to this position, he was no longer the cautious prince of Yunzhou who was worried that he might lose his life one day.

But now, there is no one by his side, and he can only walk this road alone from now on.
