Since she married Li Chongjin, she knew she couldnāt monopolize him. Thinking of this, her gaze dimmed momentarily, but she ultimately held back, as she already knew what she would face after making her choice.
If she now wanted to have Li Chongjin all to herself, it would truly be naĆÆve and greedy.
"Aunt Su Mei, please go back and tell Mother that I will make good use of them. Also, these medicinal herbs and silver are ready for you to take back." Chu Ziluo handed her a Sandalwood Box, inside which were taels of silver.
Su Mei naturally would not accept: "Princess Consort, this is Madamās heartfelt sentiment as a mother, how could we take your silver? As long as youāre well, Madam will be at ease."
"Moreover, you neednāt worry, business outside the capital is going smoothly, Madam does not lack silver." Su Mei said with a gentle smile.
Chu Ziluo felt a warmth in her heart, knowing that since her mother said so, she certainly wouldnāt accept it.
She simply exchanged it for three pairs of jade pendants.
"These three pairs of jade pendants were rare jades that my shop collected, very nourishing. They were cut to make several pairs, and these three pairs I chose for Father, Mother, and my two younger brothers. Please, Miss Su Mei, take them back."
"Yes." This time Su Mei didnāt refuse, after all, it was Chu Ziluoās heartfelt gesture, she had no right to make decisions for Ye Muyu.
After Su Mei left.
Chu Ziluo personally prepared a medicinal meal, and when Li Chongjin came back in the evening, he saw it. Upon asking, he found out it was from the Chu family instructions.
However, Chu Ziluo made her own portion, and for Li Chongjinās, she directly handed him the medicinal meal instructions.
"Prince, Mother said this recipe is usually eaten by Father too, the effects are quite good. You are often busy with training, you need to supplement to be healthier."
"Since my father-in-law eats it too, it must be something good. Later, Iāll send a return gift to Father-in-law and Mother-in-law." Li Chongjin glanced at the medicinal meal instructions and put them away, instead leaning beside Chu Ziluo, looking at her medicinal meal, saying, "Let me taste it."
Chu Ziluo was startled: "Prince, this is what Iāve already eaten..."
"No problem, between us as husband and wife, do we still mind these things?" Li Chongjin raised his brows, somewhat displeased.
Chu Ziluo blushed and ultimately resigned: "Prince, if you want to eat, then Iāll have the maidservants serve you a bowl, but you shouldnāt eat too much, the medicinal meal given by Mother is targeted, your portion is best for your body."
"Understood, Iāll just taste the flavor, promise not to eat too much." Li Chongjin ate the medicinal meal from the bowl, with visible delight.
When Prince Rongās Mansion was calm,
The noble families in the capital couldnāt remain calm.
Especially as more workshops appeared throughout Great Chu, various products emerged in the market.
While not every product was of excellent quality and price, they were at least better than before. Perhaps due to competition, commoners were busy daily comparing to buy the cheapest and most practical goods. Meanwhile, these shopkeepers were somewhat competitive, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Of course, no price wars happened, because with Chu Heng waking up, he added a requirement for base prices in commercial law to ensure merchants wouldnāt engage in vicious competition through price wars.
For example, the lowest price canāt drop below twenty percent of the standard price, and the highest price canāt exceed fifty percent of the standard price or cost price.
These rules govern some daily necessities.
