Chapter 506 Everyone is pleasing to the eye
"I'm not kind?" Su Nuan asked back, "It's not appropriate for you to say that."
Yun Yi was choked by these words. He sat up straight awkwardly and stopped talking to Su Nuan.
"Yun Yi is not a bad person."
Mu Yunting said softly.
Su Nuan didn't intend to argue with an elder brother about what kind of person his younger brother was. The dishes on the table had already been replaced by the palace servants. The chefs in the palace were excellent in cooking, and she would definitely enjoy the food if she had the chance.
"I will compensate you for the UBS building incident. Don't be angry with him anymore. You can't blame him entirely for that incident."
Su Nuan may not comment on Mu Yunyi's character, but she still has to say something about her own affairs.
"If not him, who should we blame? The Queen?"
"Do you really like running a silver shop that much?"
Mu Yunting did not answer but asked instead.
"of course."
"why?"
"Because you can make a lot of money."
"So you like silver?"
"That's right." This time Su Nuan's answer was not as confident as before.
"If you like silver, I can give it to you directly, but Yun Yi likes the process of making silver. Can you teach him how to make silver?"
"Teaching a disciple to starve the master to death, the UBS building is a lesson for you."
After Su Nuan finished speaking, she suddenly remembered the tea business in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which seemed to be very profitable. She didn't know how much tuition he would have to pay for her to teach Mu Yunyi how to do business.
Driven by curiosity, Su Nuan asked, "How much money does Your Highness plan to pay for the Second Prince to hire a master?"
"How much silver do you think is appropriate?"
Does this mean to make a random offer? Su Nuan was a little bit unbelievable and a little excited. After thinking for a while, she tentatively said, "The Second Prince's talent should be worth at least 30,000 taels."
"I'll give you fifty thousand taels. Teach him a lesson and don't be angry with him anymore."
When Su Nuan heard that she would be given 50,000 taels, her eyes lit up and she accepted the job without any hesitation.
Fifty thousand taels! I feel very safe with this much money!
"When will the money be paid and when will the class officially start?"
"I'll give it to you when I get home tonight."
"The class will start tomorrow."
After being happy for a while and calming down, Su Nuan had another question: "Your Highness, there are many people who can teach the Second Prince how to do business, why do you want me to teach him?"
In fact, she didn't say something else: it wouldn't cost so much tuition for someone else to teach him, and she was just so-so in running her own business.
"You are the only master worthy of Yun Yi's status. You opened the UBS Building together, and he admires you. And I feel at ease if you teach him."
Su Nuan pondered over Mu Yunting's words and gradually figured out the key. The Nanzhao Kingdom valued scholars over merchants, and the family property of anyone who entered the officialdom was handed over to clan members or female relatives to manage. They never went into business themselves. It was unlikely to find someone among the Confucian scholars with both moral integrity and talent to teach Mu Yunyi how to do business.
Merchants have a low status, so it is not a good idea to find a businessman to be Mu Yunyi's master.
Moreover, Su Nuan guessed that Mu Yunting asked her to teach Mu Yunyi how to do business not for him to make a lot of money, but just to lead him into the door and prevent him from going astray.
Who wouldn't like a job that pays well and requires little effort? Su Nuan couldn't wait to get paid and start working.
Mu Yunyi is now equivalent to a gold nugget, and Su Nuan likes him no matter how much he looks at him.
Just when she was silently calculating whether 50,000 taels of silver could be used to create a little golden man, Mu Yunyi was frightened by her.
"Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong. How about I give you half of the money from Ruiyinlou? You don't have to pay for it this time. You just need to find the craftsman who can make jewelry, and you can get half of the money you earn."
Su Nuanxin said, "When the time comes, you will take control of the craftsmen and then kick me away?"
She didn't say what was in her heart, but only looked at Mu Yunyi meaningfully, and said, "The Empress Dowager asked me to stay in her palace to talk for a while today. She wanted me to take you to do business."
Mu Yunyi's eyes lit up when he heard this, but it only lit up for a moment before being extinguished by Su Nuan's next words, "I refuse."
"Sister-in-law is still mad at me because of the UBS building?"
Su Nuan thought for a moment and replied, "The Empress Dowager asked me to take you into business so that you can make money, but who can guarantee that they will make money in business? If I really lose money one day, I won't be able to explain to her."
"but......"
Su Nuan changed the subject, which immediately rekindled Mu Yunyi's hope, and he quickly asked her: "But what?"
"However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just told me about this matter, and I agreed."
"You rejected the Imperial Grandmother but agreed to the Crown Prince. Why is that? It can't be that the Crown Prince's words are more effective than the Imperial Grandmother's, right?"
Mu Yunyi asked blankly.
"Look, look, I'm being accused of disrespecting the Queen Mother."
"No, no, no, sister-in-law, please don't get me wrong. I just don't understand. It doesn't make sense for two people to talk to you about the same thing and refuse one and agree to the other. Isn't this just a waste of the Empress Dowager's face."
"Didn't I just tell you the reason? The Empress Dowager asked me to help you make money, but I couldn't guarantee that I could make money, so of course I had to refuse. But the Crown Prince is different. He doesn't care about making money or losing money. He just wants me to do business with you."
At this point, Su Nuan stopped and asked Mu Yunyi: "What do you think? Do you agree with the Empress Dowager or the Crown Prince?"
In fact, no matter what Mu Yunyi chooses, for the sake of the fifty thousand taels, she has no problem taking Mu Yunyi to do business. However, the effort she puts in will be different for different choices. In fact, she selfishly hopes that Mu Yunyi will choose to make money.
After a fierce struggle, Mu Yunyi gave his answer: "I have the same idea as my eldest brother. It doesn't matter whether I make money or not. I beg my sister-in-law to take me to do business together. I just want to learn how to do business from you."
Su Nuan was a little disappointed. Since he chose her, there was no reason for her not to take good care of him.
Although her own business was not doing very well, she was still able to make some money with Mu Yunyi.
"Okay, let's make it like this. You and I both own silver shops, so we won't touch the silver shop business this time. I'll think of something else to do with you when I go back today. If you have any ideas, you can tell me."
Hearing that he couldn't do the silver shop business, Mu Yunyi was a little disappointed. He thought about it seriously, shook his head and said to Su Nuan, "None of the businesses I did before were successful. This time, I will listen to my sister-in-law's arrangements."
The two of them happily finalized the matter.
Thanks to the fact that the two princes had just spit out tea and criticized the food, everyone had no interest in these three people anymore. Su Nuan and Mu Yunyi were chatting animatedly and no one came out to make trouble.
Although there were some minor incidents during the meal, it was still quite enjoyable overall.
When Su Nuan thought about the 50,000 taels she would earn when she returned home, she liked everyone except Prince Guang'an who would glare at her from time to time.
"Your Highness," Su Nuan approached Mu Yunting and asked in a low voice, "Does your uncle know that the woman is fake?"
