The Eighth Wise King became addicted to eavesdropping on the silly princess' thoughts

Chapter 303: Three Happy Events in March Next Year

Mu Xiu and Ruhua came with a stack of account books to report to Luo Li.

Nine-year-old Mu Xiu is tall and slender, with a delicate face that shows a calmness and steadiness that is not typical of his age. He speaks and acts calmly and behaves in moderation. Only when he is with Yu Li Wu Ji and the others, does he reveal the liveliness and mischief of a child.

Mu Xiu put the account book he was holding on the table, and then took the account book from Ruhua and put it down, bowed and said, "Princess, Sister Ruhua and I have checked the accounts and there are no mistakes. Please take a look at it yourself, Princess."

Luo Li smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "Leave it there, I'll take a look at it when I have time."

Ruhua curled her lips and thought, the young lady is pretending to be very conscientious in front of the children. She will read it when she has time. You will flip through the book and take a look, even if you are a lazy person and are sleeping!

Ruhua, who knew the lady's character, reported directly, "Miss, this month's turnover increased by only 10%, mainly because the ice-making business ended last month and canned food is not in season yet.

Apart from the profits distributed to shareholders, we ourselves kept a total of more than 2.6 million taels.

It sounds like a lot, but because of the expensive things like the medicinal materials, alcohol, instant noodles, canned meat, and first aid kits, there is only less than 800,000 taels left to store."

"Ruhua, are you feeling pain?" Luo Li teased Ruhua, who looked pained, and continued, "The prince will launch the Northern Expedition in March next spring. We must work overtime to prepare more military supplies urgently needed on the battlefield to provide more protection for the soldiers fighting on the front line. Don't feel bad about spending any money."

Ruhua sighed, "Miss, your dream of becoming the richest person in Song Dynasty is probably difficult to realize. You worked overtime and invested countless silver to produce military supplies, but you donated them without charging a cent. Alas! There is no other businessman dumber than you in the world."

Seeing Ruhua pouting and complaining, Luo Li couldn't help but chuckle, "Ruhua, there is a country before there is a family. When the country is destroyed and the family is ruined, even if you make a lot of money, you won't be able to spend it."

Ruhua didn't understand the young lady's sense of crisis, and she muttered again, "There are so many wealthy people in the world, and the soldiers on the front line are fighting bloody battles to protect them. Why are we the only ones who are generous enough to donate money and materials, while they are unwilling to donate a penny?"

Luo Li said solemnly, "Because the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is my nephew, the Regent of the Song Dynasty is my husband, and more importantly, your daughter is afraid of death, and she is also afraid of the death of you relatives." She stroked her big belly, "She is also afraid that the child we give birth to will not be able to enjoy a good life in peace and comfort."

Ruhua's heart was sour and warm, and she immediately lost her grievance and temper. She stepped forward and gently massaged the lady's shoulders and neck, "Miss, although I don't know whether you are worrying about nothing or preparing for a rainy day, Ruhua understands that you want all of us to live in peace and prosperity.

Ruhua is not afraid of hard work. We can earn more money after we spend it. Anyway, the money we spend is good. "

Mu Xiu said respectfully: "Princess, the military supplies needed for the Northern Expedition are huge, like a bottomless pit that can't swallow up enough money. Although our business is extremely profitable, it can't be sustained.

Mu Xiu suggested that the toilet paper business, which has huge sales, and the soap, toothbrush and toothpaste business should be expanded several times, and workshops should be opened in various places in the affluent Jiangnan area. Local production and sales can be saved, and the profit will be multiplied many times. "

Luo Li looked at the ambitious and farsighted little Mu Xiu with approval, and praised him with a smile: "Yes, Mu Xiu has a farsighted vision and is the material to be a big shopkeeper.

This suggestion is exactly what I want. We have already opened two large workshops in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, for the toilet paper business and the toothpaste and toothbrush business. Next, we will let them flourish everywhere in Jiangnan. After all, this world belongs to us, and we don’t have to worry about being taken over by the local tyrants and dignitaries who are jealous of us when we do business anywhere.”

Ruhua also became interested, "Miss, Brother Luo Cong said that the development of glass is going well. If the glass is really like what you said, and can be made into a mirror that can reflect the sweat hairs on the face, and a cup that is more transparent than crystal, then it will be a business that makes a lot of money!"

"Ruhua, you call Luo Cong brother Luo Cong brother affectionately every day. How close are you? Have you ever secretly slept with each other? If not, let's get married quickly."

"Miss!..." Ruhua's face flushed with embarrassment. She raised her hand but didn't dare to hit the pregnant Luo Li. She slapped her own leg in anger. "Pa!" The sound was so loud that Luo Li was startled.

Mu Xiu also understood, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he quickly bowed and ran out.

Ruhua was so angry that she started to cry. Her face was red as if it was about to bleed. "Miss, you are so... so... so outrageous. You said that in front of a man. How can I face others in the future?"

In the past life, I could joke around with my colleagues and best friends, but in this era, I couldn't say anything. Luo Li could only apologize to Ruhua, "Ruhua, don't be angry. I was distracted and said something wrong. Can't you keep a close eye on your mouth later?"

Ruhua was anxious to prove her innocence, "Miss, don't make random guesses in your mind. Brother Luo Cong and I just held hands and occasionally... occasionally hugged and kissed each other. It's not what you think." When she said the last part, her voice was quieter than the buzz of a mosquito.

This is called confessing one's own fault. Luo Li said with a sly smile: "Ruhua, let's get married quickly when we can't help ourselves. If you are so shy, if we get married with a baby, won't you be too embarrassed to get out of the bridal sedan?"

: "Miss! You are here again!" Unable to provoke her, Ruhua had to sit at the table with her face covered and ignored the frivolous lady.

Ruhua, Siyu, Tingting and the other two were unwilling to get married in a hurry, saying that they wanted to help the young lady manage the business and raise the children before considering getting married.

"Alas! I've been so worried about your lifelong affairs! You three insisted on waiting for my baby to grow up before getting married. If I had given birth to eight or ten children, wouldn't you all have become old women with gray hair?"

Ruhua burst out laughing, covering her face with her hands, and replied shyly, "Miss, after you give birth to the baby in your belly and recover, we... the three of us will get married in March next year, okay?"

"Okay! Finally, I have some reliable information. I can explain it to Yun Yi, Luo Cong, and Luo Ning. This will save them from having those jealous, resentful, and aggrieved looks every time they see Zhao Defang and I showing affection."

Ruhua was amused again. She put down her hands that were covering her face and joked, "The one who should be the most resentful and aggrieved should be Yunyi. He will be 26 years old next year, and he will be an old bachelor."

"Next March, our family will have three good things coming to us!"
