Qinglian, who had just walked in from outside, was stunned for a moment when he heard the princess' question, and then he answered.
"Princess, Chen Da is Xiaoman's father. You forgot that Xiaoman's name is Chen Man'er."
After Qinglian's reminder, Qian Jiujiu finally remembered that it was the man who was recuperating in the side yard. Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu's eyes widened.
He remembered that the man was average looking and had bad legs. Hongyue actually liked him, which was beyond Qian Jiujiu's expectation.
Suddenly, he felt a little embarrassed. Chen Da was not a servant of the palace. Could he really go and rob her? But how could he explain that to Xiao Man'er
Ahem, I saved you, so your father wants to marry my maid
Bah, she would never say such words. Qian Jiujiu couldn't help feeling a little worried. Hongyue looked at Qian Jiujiu's sad face and it was obvious that she was really planning for her own affairs.
"Princess, my servant's affairs are not urgent, so you don't have to worry about it."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Hongyue and said, "Have you ever told that Chen Da? Of course not. Chen Da looks like a wooden stake, so dull. How can a girl like you speak up?"
"Also, you and Xiaoman have such a good relationship, but will Xiaoman agree to you being her mother? This is a difficult matter."
Seeing Qian Jiujiu already talking, Hong Yue blushed very much. She was reluctant to let the princess go through troubles for her own affairs, so she could not help but say: "Princess, there is no rush for my affairs. Anyway, I am still young."
"Don't be so upset. It will be fine once it reaches the bridgehead."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Hongyue and said, "You are really open-minded. It's true that you are in love, but you can still talk to Xiaoman about it first. Why did you fall in love with that wooden stake?"
The corner of Hongyue's mouth twitched. Chen Da is not a wooden stake, he is just honest. Of course, Hongyue did not dare to refute the princess' words, so she would just be a wooden stake first.
"Princess, Xiaoman is alone in the village. I am a little worried, so I will leave first."
After saying that, he looked at Qian Jiujiu eagerly. Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched: "Okay, I won't make it difficult for you. Go ahead."
After waiting for Hongyue to leave, Qian Jiujiu looked at Qinglian and said, "Qinglian, why do you think Hongyue fell in love with that wooden stake?"
Qinglian covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Princess, his name is Chen Da. I guess he often accompanies Xiao Man to see Chen Da. The two of them have come into contact, so he cares about him."
"I think Chen Da is a good person."
Hongyue looked at Qinglian and said, "Oh, I think you are pretty good too. What's up? Do you like someone?"
Amid Qian Jiujiu's occasional teasing, Qinglian's face had been trained to be as thick as a city wall. She simply shook her head and said, "I don't have a lover, so Princess, don't worry so much."
Qian Jiujiu suddenly felt bored: "Look at you, you are old, why don't you get it? Is it because I usually keep you guys in the backyard and don't meet many people?"
Nanny Ping was listening to this and her mouth twitched. She really couldn't understand why the princess was so concerned about the marriages of a few maids!
In her impression, whoever the master gave the maid to would be the one she married, just like the palace maids and maids in their palace.
Maybe one day she will be granted to that eunuch as a couple. Qian Jiujiu looked at Madam Ping who was looking at her without saying anything, and couldn't help but blink.
"Mammy, why are you looking at me like that? I'm not that old, and if you have someone you love, you can have a family."
As the saying goes, men are like wolves at thirty and tigers at forty. This nanny is exactly at the age of thirty when she is like a wolf!
Madam Ping knelt down at once and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Princess, do you dare me to leave?"
Qian Jiujiu was confused: "Mammy, what do you mean? If you don't like it, forget it, but don't take it so seriously."
Nanny Ping heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this: "I will have to serve the princess for the rest of my life. I cannot marry."
Qian Jiujiu didn't understand why she couldn't get married, but seeing how strict Nanny Ping was, she didn't say anything more and successfully married Hongling to Dongchen.
Qian Jiujiu, who was acting as a matchmaker, put aside these thoughts at this time and sighed: "Okay, since you don't have this intention, I won't force you."
"This princess should think carefully about how to withdraw the costume."
As soon as Qingyu came in, she heard Qian Jiujiu worrying about the clothes, and couldn't help but blink: "Princess, why don't you just open a store and buy these clothes."
"I guess that these ladies don't come to the palace to get the blueprints because they don't want to owe favors. In this case, let's buy them. You sell and I buy, and everyone spends money."
"It's better than favors."
Qian Jiujiu also figured out the problem at once: "Yeah, why didn't I think of it! When did Qingyu become so smart? It's just opening a clothing store."
"I don't have anyone on my side. If I send you all away to run the store for me, I'd be reluctant to do that!"
But Qian Jiujiu knew that Qingyu was the best candidate. The maids around her were old, so she had to give some younger girls a chance. Look at Qingyu.
"Qingyu, if this princess asked you to look after this store, would you be willing?"
Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Princess, what I mean is that we can open a clothing store temporarily, and just sell this kind of clothes."
"Once there are products for sale, other stores will surely follow suit. Can I close the store and come back then?"
Qian Jiujiu was seriously considering this question when Dong Chen pushed Mu Yexiao in. "Jiu'er, what kind of store are you going to open?"
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes. It seemed like she really liked opening a shop. Her Yangshengtang and Shengyantang were already making a lot of money. Who would be willing to bother with that
Especially since she actually just wanted to be a parasite in her life and have enough money to squander, but she still roughly talked about the issue just discussed: "I can't bear to part with Qingyu, and then I want to launch the clothing."
"When I wear it like this, my belly can be hidden."
Mu Yexiao thought she was worried about something: "Don't worry, I have many stores selling clothes, you can go to any one of them, let Qingyu go to the store during the day."
"It's just a busy period. You have Hongling and the other two by your side, so you don't have to worry about not having people to use you. It seems that I will also train new people for you."
Mu Yexiao's words made Hongling and other maids speechless. The secret guards had been trained with so much effort, and they were definitely not to be maids.
Only Prince Xiao, who dotes on the princess to the bone, can do it. Hongling and others usually don't dare to reveal their martial arts in front of others, nor do they dare to reveal that they are different from other maids.
They are afraid that others will know that they are secret guards. You know, everyone knows that in the whole Kyoto, there are no secret guards who have been transferred to the surface, and those secret guards are responsible for important matters.
They only need to serve the princess. This is unfair treatment. If the emperor knew that all the prince's female secret guards had become maids and shop assistants for the prince, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Qian Jiujiu didn't know much about the secret guards, and of course didn't know the meaning of Mu Yexiao's words. She was just very happy to hear the solution Mu Yexiao came up with.
"Okay, let's do this, but you'd better find a shop with a young manager, so that Qingyu can get in touch with more outstanding men. In this way, maybe she can find a good man."
"Don't be like that maid Hongyue. She is so outstanding but she actually likes a wooden stake."
Wooden stakes? What the hell is that? Mu Yexiao looked confused. Does anyone like wooden ones? Could there be something wrong with that red moon? He glanced at Qian Jiujiu.
"In the future, if you ask Young Master Hongyue to come to the palace, he should just be in charge outside. People who like wooden stakes are usually not normal."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao blankly: "Why?"
Mu Yexiao rolled his eyes: "Don't you think about it? Normal people like people, how could they like a piece of wood?"
The maids all held back their laughter as they listened to the prince and princess bickering, because they didn't dare laugh openly. But even so, Mu Yexiao still noticed it.
Who is Mu Yexiao? He is so skilled in martial arts and so sensitive, how come he didn’t notice anything strange? Qian Jiujiu’s eyes also changed and she spat at Mu Yexiao.
"What kind of thinking do you have? Hongyue likes a person, how can you think like that?"
Mu Yexiao looked innocent but with a hint of confusion: "A wooden stake is a person? You didn't explain it clearly yourself. I just said, who likes wood?"
"You still said, well, we can't control this matter. That wooden stake is still a good citizen! I don't know if you have any thoughts about Hongyue."
Mu Yexiao rolled his eyes after listening to Qian Jiujiu's words: "Come on, you are caring about a maid, why don't you care about me? Who is that wooden stake?"
Although Qian Jiujiu paid so much attention to the wooden stake only because of a maid, Mu Yexiao still felt unhappy.
Qian Jiujiu didn't notice it, and just hummed: "It's the man who is recuperating in the side hospital. How can he be worthy of Hongyue? He is just an honest wooden stake."
Listening to Qian Jiujiu's dissatisfaction, Mu Yexiao coughed twice and said, "Okay, I see you are just idle recently. If you have time, you can show me your wallet."
"I made a piece of clothing, and you never gave me anything."
Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes. It seemed to be true. But why did Mu Yexiao suddenly want to ask her for something? She looked at him curiously.
"Why did you suddenly want me to make clothes for you?"
