Chapter 290: Can't Hold the Roar

They never learned any etiquette, nor do they, like those people, constantly attend this meeting or that meeting.

But looking at those siblings, their bearing is dignified, their speech is extraordinary; at a glance they are clearly worldly.

Keeping watch over Qiao Mai, if she still hasn't seen the world, then she's truly a naive soul.

Be it food, clothing, the education she received from childhood, or etiquette, she has long been far beyond lacking insight.

Now, the Prince of Zhen Guo's in-laws have become famous, and his son‑in‑law is even renowned throughout the capital circle.

After passing five checkpoints and six male generals, he finally took the bride, paid respects to the mother‑in‑law and father‑in‑law, boarded the bridal sedan—everything went very smoothly.

Within the allotted time, the bride was brought back to Jixiang Yuan, and, of course, another lively commotion ensued.

When the groom and bride entered the hall, the wedding banquet began.

No outsiders came; everyone was currying favor with the Prince of Zhen Guo. The wedding table was filled with their own servants and the bridal escort.

Seeing the table laden with dishes, many felt a secret delight, grateful they came to escort the bride; otherwise they'd never in this life taste such a fine wedding feast.

"Mother, we don't want to split up; we want to live together forever as one family."

"What are you joking about? You are now my Qiao family's daughter‑in‑law; how could you use your dowry? I'm telling you, your dowry will be kept for your children later. Even if the Qiao family is poor, we will never squander a daughter‑in‑law's dowry for face."

"Eh!"

"Master, all of our elders have arrived."

But, one still needs a livelihood, blocking the countless items.

After shopping, we went to Qiao Ji Snack Puzi, went inside, ordered the shop's signature sour milk, iced milk tea, got a few snacks, and started eating.

"What's not allowed? Mother also recruits a son‑in‑law, right?"

"Has Tianshui Town been arranged properly?"

"People like your father are so rare; if you encounter one it's fine, but if not, you'll bring a wolf into the family."

Yunfeng simply kept her company in silence, doing whatever she asked; in ancient times, a man like that was so rare that even a lantern couldn't locate him.

Ling'er wasn't in a hurry, and Shopkeeper Feng naturally wouldn't be either.

Murong glanced at the mother‑in‑law, looking so young standing beside her, and said that being sisters was no problem.

"But people are born into a generation; the term 'mother' must be used."

"In a couple of days Shopkeeper Feng will arrive; mother will allocate half the manpower here,"

"Go pick it."

When Shopkeeper Feng arrived, she breathed a sigh of relief; she would provide money and goods, but being asked to handle those locked matters, she truly disliked it.

"Remember tomorrow's return‑home gift; it must not be omitted. Open the warehouse and let Rong'er pick herself."

Qiao Mai supplied ample goods for the two shops; since their shops aren't on the commercial street nor in a bustling district, the opening day was very quiet.

Ling'er looked at Qiao Mai, "Mother, the shops are all built now."

Murong finally married in, as she had hoped; she ate, arranged the dowry, and the entire Tingfeng Pavilion, with its many rooms and spacious area, allowed her to do as she pleased.

Everyone hurried along, finally arrived; upon meeting, Shopkeeper Feng took the lead in greeting the Master.

"Well, the shop is on the side of the house, conveniently connected at the back to a small courtyard. Whatever it was at home before, it's the same here. You have full authority over the shop matters; if you can't resolve something, come to me."

At this sight, it's no longer tolerable; the shout can't be held back!

Jixiang Embroidery Goods are all premium; each piece they can't put down. Wealthy families, what are they waiting for? It's a single word: buy.

Thus Jin Mama left with Ling'er, and in the spacious living room, only Qiao Mai was left alone.

"Yes, Master"

Even before the year, the Master had him train newcomers; today the Tianshui snack shop was handed over to Shopkeeper Feng, who was selected from the staff.

"Alas~ what a pity, over there I still have to do it myself."

Qiao Mai tapped Ling'er's little head, "What, you still want to recruit a son‑in‑law?"

Mu Guniang also gave what she considered most precious to the old man and the grandparents, as well as the two younger brothers‑in‑law and one younger sister‑in‑law.

Sure enough, those idle housewives, missies, and the like, gathered to gossip, and talked about the Jixiang Embroidery Puzi.

"Mother, no need, I'll prepare myself; with so much dowry, just pick a few pieces."

They smoothly offered tea; Yuan Jiaqi went to his post, and the old master and old lady gave a meeting gift.

Some people, braving the rain, went to see the shop.

"Yes, Mother"

"Do you want a big pancake hung around your neck?"

Feng'er left with Rong'er, Yun'er went to take a post, Chuan'er was pulled away by the old master, and the old lady went to the back garden to feed the little animals.

Of course, the servants of Jixiang Yuan have all broadened their horizons.

Yunfeng soon came out to toast; everyone's attention was on the food, and no one forced him. The banquet was eaten clean, and when they left they were all a bit embarrassed, their faces flushed.

Now they have bragging material when they return; those who didn't go to escort the bride all regret it.

At the same time they hired another batch of people; the novices were all given to Shopkeeper Feng, and those who could go to the capital were all former old staff.

"Pick a room to decorate; the remaining one, I'll turn into a snack shop."

"Hehe, thank you Mother, the daughter‑in‑law will be unreserved."

The household isn't short of money; they all know good wine's fragrance isn't afraid of a deep alley—if the goods are good, they'll sell sooner or later.

Qiao Mai also didn't let her attend the ceremony, saying she was tired from the day, and that the kitchen would send over meals at night, letting them rest early.

The next day, the whole family waited in the living room; Murong didn't dare to bring a big item, having married in as family; the couple got up early and went to the living room.

Oh my, why is the sour milk so tasty? Why is the iced milk tea so delicious? Oh, bring a few more cups of passion fruit tea.

Ling'er's eyes flashed with hostility, "Alright, today is the second day since your wife entered, Feng'er you should spend more time with your wife."

The southern rainy season has arrived, and the heavens occasionally rain; Qiao Mai stays in Yuexian Pavilion every day, never coming out.

The Qiao family is truly generous; each person who sent the bride receives a red envelope of ten taels of silver, plus a small gift.

Hehe.

Just kill it and eat wolf meat.

They hadn't been there, because Princess Mu's grand wedding made the Qiao Family's two shops trend on the hot search.

Wow, that's great; from now on we can also eat Small Food Puzi items here.

Qiao Mai didn't hold back; she directly handed the shopmaster authority to Murong, "From now on, if I'm not in this house you make the decisions, but for major matters, it's best to consult Grandmother."

The food was called mountain delicacies and sea flavors, plus some they hadn't seen before, which opened all their eyes wide.

Also, I want to make things clear: when you both become relatives and have children, if this house can no longer accommodate you, as long as you want to move out, I will definitely allow it; don't be embarrassed, when a tree grows large it branches out, that's following the natural order.

They have known each other for a long time, so they get along very harmoniously.

So Ling'er's Embroidery Puzi and her Qiao Ji Snack Puzi will also open in Jingcheng, letting them see what true daily riches look like.

Some people even brag to what extent? They say just taking a breath at the Qiao Family feels completely refreshing, and many are so blown that their intestines turn green with regret.

Ling'er and Shopkeeper Niu worked on the shop every day, and finally opened on June 16.

Yes, Mother.

Yes, Master.

Please rest assured.

On the day Murong and Yunfeng returned home, Shopkeeper Niu arrived with people; his excitement was palpable.

If lacking money or supplies, consult the Steward and accountant; try to open as early as possible.

In a few days, Qiao Ji Snack Puzi and Jixiang Embroidery became famous in Jingcheng.

Fortunately, Qiao Mai lived on a street with almost no shops, the road was wide, so Shopkeeper Niu decided to set up a nice canopy in front of his own shop.

Under the canopy he also placed beautiful tables and chairs; those who wanted to watch the rain could sit outside, so everyone was taken care of.

In an instant, Qiao Ji Small Puzi was overcrowded.
