Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 385

Unexpectedly, Xia Mu had become a mother. She thought they would never meet again, but unexpectedly, not only did they meet, but they also met in this way.

Xia Mu stepped forward and saluted enthusiastically: "Madam...long time no see!"

Ye Xi looked at her with a smile: "Long time no see."

Xia Mu was still as talkative as before, and said a lot of things, mainly asking where Ye Xi had been in the past few years and talking about her own situation in the past few years.

When Ye Xi heard that her daughter's name was Xue Ting, she was surprised to find that Xia Mu had actually married Xue Jiu.

Hearing Ye Xi's curiosity about how they got together, Xia Mu blushed and explained that Xia Mu and Xue Jiu had already been interested in each other a few months before Ye Xi left.

However, because the masters each had their own concerns at that time, they did not dare to make them public. Later, after Xue Jiu followed Wei Jue to the military camp, Wei Jue discovered the love letters between them and they were made public.

Wei Jue wanted to help both parties, so he had Xia Mu brought over when he was still in the northern border, and chose a day off to hold a simple wedding for them.

At that time, there was no war on the border yet, and this kind of harmonious behavior did not violate military regulations.

Xia Mu became pregnant about a month after her wedding. Xue Jiu was going to follow Wei Jue to the Western Territory, so she had Xia Mu sent back to the capital to take care of the baby.

Now that she is pregnant again, Wei Jue suggests sending Xue Ting to live with Ye Xi to accompany Si Yu.

After Xia Mu gives birth, they can move to Ye Xi's place together. Anyway, Xue Jiu will also rest here with Wei Jue in the future, so they don't have to run back and forth.

Only then did Ye Xi realize that Xia Mu's belly was slightly bulging, but not obvious. No wonder she didn't notice it at a glance just now.

She was very happy for Xia Mu. Although some of Xue Jiu's recent actions made her unhappy, she could not deny that Xue Jiu was actually very outstanding, and Xia Mu could be said to have found a good partner.

Although Siyu and Xue Ting met for the first time, the children could easily play together.

Siyu is very caring towards children at a young age and often gives in to Xue Ting.

Xia Mu felt embarrassed watching from the side, but Ye Xi thought it was nothing and told Xia Mu not to take it to heart.

This is how the matter was settled.

After Ye Xi was almost taken advantage of last time, he never thought of relying on outsiders to expand his store again.

She also didn't want to use Wei Jue's money. She thought that there must be one thing of hers that she had to make clear to Wei Jue.

Although Wei Jue knew that she was now a wealthy woman, he still never reduced her monthly allowance.

Ye Xi used all the money on the expenses of Yuexi Cottage, and her personal expenses were all paid from her own small treasury.

Now she has changed her mind and she doesn't have to expand her stores.

Think about how many modern time-honored brands have been running their small shops for decades or even hundreds of years and are still doing very well in business.

Although she couldn't become a billionaire, she would have enough food and clothing, so she planned to run the existing stores more meticulously.

She spent the whole day discussing this matter with Qin Song, discussing everything from store management services to the research and development of new dishes.

In the end, it was decided that all matters that required exposure would be assigned to Qin Song, and she would be responsible for developing new dishes.

Ye Xi sent a message to the kitchens of every store, and anyone who had ideas for developing dishes could discuss with the store manager.

The shopkeeper will review it first. If he thinks the idea is good, he can send it to her in writing, and then send it to her regularly together with the store management report every month.

If she thinks the recommended dishes are good, she can include them in the store’s new menu and give a reward to the chef who made the suggestion.
