The sky was clear, and the continuous mountains and plains had long been blown into a brilliant golden color by the autumn wind.
Gu Nuo’er sat under the acacia tree and looked at the distant mountains.
Each time the wind blew, the sky would be clear and refreshing as if everything was quiet.
There were no classes at the state school today, so Elder Brother Siming went to train his soldiers again. She was bored and ran to the Four Seasons Sweet Shop to take a look.
The child held a plate of sugar cakes. After she was almost done eating, she turned around and ran in.
She obediently handed the plate to Nanny Hu.
Nanny Hu smiled lovingly. “Your Highness, do you still want to eat more? This servant can make some more.”
Gu Nuo’er waved her small hand and corrected her in a childish voice, “Nanny, we’re already outside the palace. Don’t call yourself a servant. There are only the owner and shop assistants in the sugar shop. There are no princesses or servants.”
Nanny Hu smiled until her eyes curved. “Alright, alright, alright. Little Boss.” Gu Nuo’er placed her hands behind her back and enjoyed being called boss.
Old Master Jiang was sitting on the steps of the second floor, drawing lanterns.
When he heard this, he laughed. “You’re so mischievous.”
When she ran to the accounting counter, Ning Chudie was carefully calculating the accounts.
“Elder Sister Chudie, how much money are our losses?” The child looked at the densely packed detailed records in the accounting book and felt a headache.
“Losses?” Ning Chudie was a little surprised. Then, she smiled and said, “No, not only did we not have any losses, but we also made a net profit of 1,200 taels this month.”
Gu Nuo’er instantly blinked and expressed her surprise in a soft voice, “To think that we didn’t make any losses even though I’ve been eating so much!” Nanny Hu and the others were too amazing!
Ning Chudie covered her mouth and giggled. She took the accounting book and pointed to various parts to explain to the princess.
“Look, excluding the profits from the sugar cakes, these are all profits from the affinity lanterns. A total of 436 taels were made from selling affinity lanterns this month. The rest is the profits from the sugar cakes. Our shop’s business is very good. Your Highness, don’t worry.”
As Auntie Qu wiped the table, she smiled and said, “Last time, a few esteemed guests came and said that they wanted us to suggest that Her Highness open a branch. Otherwise, the shop is always filled with people.”
Gu Nuo’er scratched her head.
She originally wanted to open a shop and let herself eat whenever she wanted.
Why did she accidentally become too successful?
Gu Nuo’er pouted, her soft and fair face deep in thought.
After a long period of pondering, she waved her hand, “From next month onward, all of your salaries will increase to ten taels per month!”
Everyone in the shop was stunned. Nanny Hu quickly waved her hand. “That won’t do. Not only does Your Highness take care of our food and accommodation, but you’re also giving us so much salary. This isn’t appropriate.”
Being paid ten taels a month would almost be the monthly salary of a third-grade palace maid.
Gu Nuo’er placed her hands behind her back and shook her head. “Mother said that when I get benefits, I have to share them with those I trust. Only then will the relationships withstand the test of time.”
Her watery eyes looked up, filled with star-like sparkles.
“Just take it. Don’t stand on ceremony with your boss. You guys deserve it. Everyone pursed their lips and smiled. “Thank you, Boss.”
Seeing that it was almost time, Old Jiang trembled and went forward to open the door, preparing to welcome the guests.
The moment the door was opened, two long rows were seen outside.
Everyone was used to seeing this. Only Gu Nuo’er shrank to a corner so that people wouldn’t squash her when they entered.
The child tiptoed and watched as the customers crammed into the shop.
At this moment, she saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
She immediately waved her hand. “Elder Sister Yinxiang-
Xie Yinxiang had queued up to enter. When she heard someone call her, she turned around and immediately smiled gently..
