Originally Mingyue only wanted to build a garment factory, but there were too many women looking for work, so in the end it became a one-stop service for dyeing, making clothes and embroidering clothes, and as a result, the Lu family invested huge financial resources in it.
When a few old foxes in Lin'an County saw what the Lu family did, they thought their chance had come, and took the opportunity to swallow up the Lu family's shop.
To this end, several old guys even formed an alliance.
When the Lu family's shop was squeezed out by similar shops around it, when several Lu family managers were so anxious that they were running around, and when Lu's father was away and could not be contacted, Mingyue, who originally did not want to ruin her image, had no choice but to follow suit.
Mingyue, who possesses memories of traveling through many dimensions, is really not something that the indigenous people of the Qiyuan Dynasty can catch up with in terms of business imagination.
So the old foxes waited and waited, and finally heard the news that the orders from the young master of the Lu family were being issued one by one.
At the same time, many new and interesting things suddenly appeared in Lin'an County.
For example, colorful fabrics, novel ready-made clothes, thin and fragrant snow-white paper, and the unprecedented discount and buy-one-get-one-free activities in Lu’s shop.
For example, in Lu's Restaurant, a tea called milk tea suddenly appeared, as well as snacks called double skin milk and cakes, which were all very popular among the ladies in the county.
For example, when you dine at Lu's Restaurant, you can also listen to storytellers telling stories that are very novel.
A few days ago, the storyteller was talking about "The Young Lady Beating Up the Poor Scholar", and a few days ago, he was talking about "Getting Rich After Dumping the Good-for-Nothing Husband". The novel content and the unexpectedly happy ending have captured the hearts of many rich ladies and wives.
Now, those ladies totally ignored the fact that they were competing with the Lu family, and they took their maids and servants to the restaurant all day long, listening to books and having snacks, contributing a lot of money to the Lu family restaurant.
As these new things spread, the Lu family not only did not go bankrupt, but their business became more and more prosperous.
"Sister, Yunshu and I have finished writing another book. This time it is about a woman who took the place of her dead brother and fought in the battlefield, and eventually became a famous female general."
"Sister, Yunji, Miss Liu and I have made an appointment to go to the shop to choose clothes tomorrow. Don't forget to ask the shop assistant to bring out the new styles."
"Sister, Yunman and I made another set of skirts. This one is very beautiful and does not pick body shapes. I think it can be put into mass production in the garment factory."
"elder sister… "
Mingyue has been very busy these days, having to keep an eye on here and there.
Fortunately, the little ones were all very capable and completed the tasks assigned to them very well, which greatly relieved Mingyue's pressure.
After Mingyue finished talking about the business, she called them aside and said, "Thank you all for your hard work during this period. Luwu, ask someone to bring the things up."
"Okay, miss." Lu Wu agreed happily and trotted down.
The girls all shook their heads and said it was their duty. No one felt it was hard, but rather they enjoyed it.
Not long after, several servants came up carrying two wooden boxes.
"Here, open and take a look at the rewards I promised you!" Mingyue said with a smile, pointing at the box.
Hearing this, the girls were all delighted. After all, the things their sister promised them were all their favorites, and now that they had finally gotten them, they were naturally very happy.
"Wow, it's the original work of Master Yan Ruyu."
"Look at mine. Mine is the golden embroidery needle from the Treasure Pavilion. Wow, I never dreamed that I could own it."
"My wolf-hair brush and inkstone look so valuable that I dare not use them."
"Mine too..." As the girls laughed, Mingyue couldn't help but smile.
So when Mr. Lu hurried back after receiving the letter, he found that things were completely different from what he had imagined.
Not only has the Lu family's shop changed drastically in appearance, but even the mental outlook of the shop assistants has changed drastically.
Those pitiful little girls back then are now capable of standing on their own.
Those guys who had followed him for most of their lives all praised him for having a good daughter and praised his daughter for being better than him.
On this day, Father Lu stayed in the Lu family ancestral hall for a very long time.
After coming out, Father Lu acted as if nothing had happened, but he completely handed over the Lu family to Mingyue.
"Mingyue, Dad is old, and this business world is still dominated by you young people. The Lu family is now handed over to you, just go ahead and do whatever you want." Father Lu patted Mingyue's shoulder and left the study with his hands behind his back.
Mingyue looked at his back and knew in her heart that Father Lu had discovered that she was not the original owner, because he no longer called her Yue'er, but now called her Mingyue in a strange tone.
But it’s better this way, there must be someone in this world who remembers that innocent girl!
Lu Mingyue used her soul power to exchange for Lu's father's lifelong well-being, and Lu's father spent the rest of his life remembering Lu Mingyue's existence.
That’s fine too!

Flowers bloom and fall, and six years have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Miss, it was won, it was won, it was won. The Thirteenth Young Master has won the top prize." The servant held his waist, panting, and shouted excitedly with a face full of excitement.
A group of young girls in the room were all delighted when they heard this.
"Brother Yunqi really got it?"
"I knew Thirteen could do it. He passed the county exams and the imperial exams and always came in first. There's no reason why he would fail in the palace exam."
"Brother Yunqi has really brought honor to our Lu family this time. He is the top scholar. My brother is the top scholar, hahahaha."
"When will Thirteen come back? I heard that it's very popular in the capital to pick a son-in-law from a list. He's so handsome, don't let him be taken away."
"That's a good thing. Otherwise, it would be hard for him, a nerd, to start a family..."
As the girls chattered and laughed, Mingyue had already instructed Luwu to call the stewards in.
Lu Wu had gotten married a few years ago, and her husband was the son of a manager in the shop.
Because Luwu was a maid who sold herself to the Lu family, Mingyue not only prepared a generous dowry for Luwu, but also abolished her slavery and gave her freedom. This girl was so moved that she stayed by Mingyue's side and served him even after they got married.
Soon the stewards followed in and were not surprised to see the girls.
Anyway, over the years, the status of women in Lin'an County has become increasingly higher, and everyone has become accustomed to discussing matters with women.
As early as they knew that Thirteenth Young Master had passed the imperial examination, a group of stewards could not wait outside.
Over the years, this group of adopted children have appeared in the Lu family one after another. Lu Yunqi is the thirteenth among these adopted children, so he is also called the Thirteenth Young Master.
