Chapter 568: The Cheng Palace is still favored by the emperor as usual
However, in order to prevent too many customers from getting the discount, the auction of Ningyudan would get out of control.
After all, the purpose of an auction is to say that there is not much stock and that things are valuable because they are rare. If everyone comes to buy nine, with dozens of people scrambling to get the goods, how can there be enough stock left?
If an auction house turns into a shopping mall, won’t there be a loss of order?
Yun Xuanyu also said that Xiuyulou has sufficient inventory, but even with such a discount, there is no guarantee that there will be no shortage of goods.
It is certainly a good idea to promote transactions, but if a store is partially out of stock or even completely out of stock, even if it only happens for one day, it will not be good for long-term operations.
It is also easy for customers to discover this situation, affecting the business reputation.
Yun Xuanyu suggested that they could use the Dragon Boat Festival promotion as an excuse to test the outside world's reaction, or they could use the summer promotion as an excuse.
The Dragon Boat Festival lasts for one month, and the summer lasts for three months.
Yun Xuanying was worried that one month might not be enough time for others to react. The rush to buy was only temporary, so it would be better to use three months to ease the effect of the discount.
Finally, everyone agreed to three months.
There was almost no need to worry about anything, and the rules of the event were finalized in half an hour. Yun Xuanyu had to go back to Xiu Yulou to arrange the details of tomorrow's promotional event.
Yun Tang and Yun Xuanmo quickly stood up and prepared to go back. Yun Xuanying followed and asked Yun Tang: "Xiao Tang'er, do you have time to come to Tianji Pavilion to refine weapons after the Dragon Boat Festival?"
He had memorized the method thoroughly, but the materials were limited, so he didn't dare to act rashly. What if the materials became waste? Where would he find more materials in such a short time?
Of course, I would like to forge a few more wooden puppets.
Yun Tang smiled and said, "We are all in the capital this year."
In the past, she lived in Qingfeng Temple.
However, now that she has returned to the Yong'an Marquisate and has been named the Princess Protector of the Nation, no matter whether she has business to take care of or not, it is unlikely that she will return to Qingfeng Temple to be the carefree little Taoist priest.
What's more, her ninth senior brother has been in the capital.
Yun Xuanying also remembered this and smiled.
"Okay, I'll find you in a few days."
In the end, in order to save trouble, Yuntang took out Teng Snake, and they went back the same way they came.
Xiao Beichen stood on the platform of Ziwei Pavilion, feeling the cool night breeze, looking at his fellow apprentices going away, his eyes filled with a smile of nostalgia and expectation.
The next morning, Yuntang waited for a while and only had breakfast served when he saw Marquis Yong'an arrive.
After not seeing him for a month, Marquis Yong'an had lost a lot of weight, but he seemed to be in good spirits, though there seemed to be a hint of gloom in his eyes.
Yun Tang and Yun Xuanmo stood outside the pavilion to greet them, and Marquis Yong'an spoke first with a smile.
"I was keeping an eye on things in the shop yesterday, and I thought you guys would need a break after you just got back, so I didn't rush over."
"Thank you for your hard work these days, father." Yuntang smiled and said a word of thanks.
Because she wanted to open eight shops at a time.
Although she had enough money to hire people, she had never had to worry about these eight shops except for paying them and providing them with prescriptions. It was all thanks to Marquis Yong'an who helped her arrange and keep an eye on them.
Perhaps there was some guilt and a desire to show off, but he was a marquis and a minister of the Ministry of War, and he could let go of his status to help her run around and do the work of a senior steward.
"These are all trivial matters." Marquis Yong'an smiled indifferently.
As they were talking, they walked into the open pavilion together. Marquis Yong'an asked Yun Tang and Yun Xuanmo about their recent travels outside, as if they were chatting about family matters.
Now that Marquis Yong'an knew that Yun Xuanmo was his future son-in-law who had not yet been made public, he spoke to him more freely and in a friendly manner. He was no longer as cautious as he was at the beginning, not knowing how to entertain him without being rude.
We chatted about things outside and he also talked about the recent business situation of the shop.
Last month, the imperial teahouses and imperial restaurants in various parts of the capital opened for business.
The shopkeeper, accountant, manager, and clerks are all in place, so Marquis Yong'an does not need to worry about every single business matter, but he still pays attention to it every day, for fear that problems caused by improper management will not be discovered in time.
Business was mediocre at the beginning. After all, no one knew the characteristics of these shops or who the owners were. Some people even thought they were the property of the Marquis' Mansion.
In this capital city, there are many businesses and shops owned by powerful and wealthy families. Some are in the open, while others are secretly used as backers. It is not uncommon.
Moreover, in terms of power, the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion is not a very high-ranking family.
If it weren't for the emergence of a princess who protected the country, the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion would at best be considered a middle-class family in the capital, relying on the big tree of the Cheng Prince's Mansion for shade.
However, now that there is a princess who dares to eat melon seeds in the court, no one dares to look down on the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion.
But this still cannot bring prosperous business to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
Later, Marquis Yong'an invited some friends and colleagues to the Imperial Teahouse for entertainment, and Prince Chenghe also invited a few friends to the Imperial Kitchen to eat medicinal food.
The news that the owner behind these two businesses was the Princess Protector of the Nation quickly spread.
Add to that the word [御] and it will undoubtedly be a golden signboard.
Only customers who have patronized the restaurant know that many of the recipes for the pastries and snacks come from the imperial kitchen, and that the medicinal foods are Taoist recipes for health preservation and conditioning.
As the news spread, the business of these eight shops improved visibly.
All of this was, of course, the plan discussed by Marquis Yong'an and Prince Chenghe. Only when the business was doing well did Marquis Yong'an feel that he had lived up to his daughter's trust.
Yuntang felt a little ashamed.
When we started this business, we used the "御" signboard and special features as gimmicks. It was an ordinary business that ordinary people could not do.
But in the end, she just became a hands-off boss, and it was Marquis Yong'an who was suffering.
"Thank you for your hard work, father. My second uncle is also very thoughtful." Yuntang said sincerely.
Yong'an Hou smiled and said, "Your second uncle also feels guilty after knowing what you...Knowing what Kang Ning did."
"Your uncle also said he was ashamed, but now that you are rich, powerful and capable, they don't know how to compensate you."
"During the Luotian Grand Ceremony, no one dared to mention these things to you, for fear of spoiling your fun and even more for fear of delaying your work."
"Now that the Luotian Grand Ceremony is over and you are not in the capital, I don't even have a chance to talk to you."
"And your grandfather, he now often reads Taoist scriptures and doesn't like to go out. I heard that he has submitted a petition to the emperor, asking your uncle to inherit the title of Prince Cheng."
"The emperor has given the go-ahead. Next spring, your uncle will inherit the title of King Cheng, your cousin Ke will be crowned the Crown Prince of King Cheng, and your cousin Yue will be crowned the new Prince of Chengyang."
Originally, Yuntang's eldest uncle Xiao Nanhuai was the prince of King Cheng, and his second uncle Xiao Nanming had no title.
Later, Xiao Beichen ascended the throne and became emperor, and conferred the title of Prince of Huaichengyang on Xiao Nan, and then the title of Prince of Mingchenghe on Xiao Nan.
Next year, Xiao Nanhuai will inherit the title of King Cheng, and his eldest son Xiao Ke will become the new crown prince. The existing title of King Chengyang will of course belong to his second son Xiao Yue.
Even though something like what happened to Kang Ning happened, the Prince Cheng's Mansion still enjoyed the emperor's favor as usual.
It was Kang Ning's stripping of her princess title that reminded Princess Kang Yi of the time when she failed to break into the palace and was reprimanded by the emperor. It turned out that the titles of princesses in the royal family could really be stripped.
As if she had been warned, she has been very well behaved recently.
Yuntang suddenly asked, "Is grandma okay?"
