Chapter 275: Lin Wan'er's Little Thoughts
Upon arriving at the lobby, although it was already evening, it did not affect their shop's business at all.
Looking at the endless stream of customers, Fang Xiaoxiao's mouth almost stretched to the back of her head in a wide grin.
Lin Wan'er, standing beside him, laughed so hard she forgot herself.
In the past, whatever she did always ended in failure.
For example, she had heard her brother say that they should open a casino together, but after investing over 100,000 taels of silver, the casino was shut down by the government.
The key point is that she didn't know about this until one day when she went out of the palace for fun and saw a lot of officials standing in front of a very grand gambling house. After some inquiries, she learned that it was the gambling house that she and her brother had opened.
Another time, he and his second brother opened a brothel. The money had barely been invested when a murder occurred…
But she's different now.
Thinking of this, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but laugh.
This is the first time she has ever succeeded in doing something.
After Fang Xiaoxiao and Princess Lin Wan'er returned to Lingxi Pavilion, the pavilion was bustling with activity and filled with guests.
Looking at the lively scene, Lin Wan'er was overjoyed and couldn't wait to run to her eldest and second brothers to show off.
"Big brother, second brother, look at this! Under my management, Lingxi Pavilion is thriving and making a fortune every day!"
Lin Wan'er stood with her hands on her hips, her face beaming with pride.
The older brother's eyes lit up, and he stroked his chin as he spoke.
"Little sister, this business is so good, I'd like to contribute too. How about I invest in it and we can grow this business even bigger together?"
My second brother also quickly came over.
"Yes, Wan'er, I've been thinking the same thing. We're family, so let's make money together."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er pouted and quickly waved her hand.
"No, no, I've worked so hard to build up Lingxi Pavilion, I don't want you interfering."
The older brother pretended to be aggrieved.
"Wan'er, you're being too polite. I'm very experienced in business. With my help, Lingxi Pavilion will surely reach new heights."
Lin Wan'er's eyes widened.
"Hmph, I don't care about your experience, I can do it myself."
Seeing this, the second brother coaxed him with a smile.
"Little sister, your second brother promises not to cause trouble, he'll just come along and get some benefits."
Lin Wan'er crossed her arms over her chest.
"Second brother, don't try to fool me, I won't fall for that."
The eldest and second eldest brothers exchanged a glance and began to plead and beg.
"Wan'er, just say yes."
"Little sister, we're all doing this for your own good."
Lin Wan'er, unable to bear being pestered any longer, stamped her foot and said.
"Oh dear, if you keep this up, I'm going to get angry! I'm in charge of Lingxi Pavilion, and I won't let you invest!"
Seeing that her older brothers were still pressing the issue, Lin Wan'er's face turned red with anger, and she turned her head and said.
"Hmph, if you keep bothering me like this, I'll tell my parents that you're bullying me!"
Upon hearing this, the eldest and second eldest brothers immediately panicked.
The second brother quickly said.
"Wan'er, no, no, no, please don't tell your parents that we're no longer talking about investing."
Lin Wan'er chuckled inwardly, but on the surface she still looked sullen.
The eldest brother rolled his eyes and said.
"Alright then, little sister, I'll let it go this time. But if you ever need any help in the future, you must ask your big brother for help."
Lin Wan'er rolled her eyes at them and said.
"Okay, go on, go on, don't bother me here."
The eldest and second eldest brothers had no choice but to slink away.
After they left, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but laugh.
"You're too green to fight me."
But a few days later, her two older brothers came over again, bringing all sorts of delicious food and fun toys, trying to please Lin Wan'er and change her mind.
Lin Wan'er's eyes lit up, and a plan came to her mind.
She said to her eldest and second eldest brothers.
"It's not impossible for me to agree to let you invest, but you have to pass my test first."
The eldest and second eldest brothers nodded quickly: "Okay, little sister, you tell me, what kind of test?"
Lin Wan'er smiled slyly.
“Lingxi Pavilion is short-handed recently. You can help wash dishes in the kitchen for a month. If you can stick with it, I’ll consider it.”
The eldest and second eldest brothers looked at each other, their faces full of distress.
The eldest and second eldest brothers looked troubled after hearing Lin Wan'er's words.
The older brother scratched his head and said.
"Little sister, washing dishes isn't suitable for us. These hands of mine are for doing business, not washing dishes."
The second brother echoed this sentiment.
"Exactly, Wan'er, this test is too difficult for you. Why don't you try a different one?"
Lin Wan'er put her hands on her hips and said.
"Hmph, I knew you weren't sincere. You said you wanted to invest, but you can't even do something this simple. Get out of here and don't bother me again!"
The eldest and second eldest brothers had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
A few days later, the eldest and second eldest brothers came up with another idea, and they went to Lin Wan'er to tell her.
"Wan'er, we won't invest, but could you lend us some money so we can start our own small business?"
Lin Wan'er frowned and said.
"Borrow money? You need to tell me what kind of business you're planning to do first. If it's not reliable, I won't lend you any."
After hearing Lin Wan'er's words, the eldest brother spoke first.
"Wan'er, we're going to sell a magical potion that can make people fly."
Lin Wan'er's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Brother, aren't you talking nonsense? There's no such potion, who would believe that!"
The second brother continued.
"And another thing, we also plan to sell a hat that can understand animal speech."
Lin Wan'er stomped her feet in anger.
"Second brother, what kind of nonsense are you thinking? No one will ever buy it. I will never lend you money to do such an absurd business."
The eldest and second eldest brothers exchanged glances, wanting to offer a few more explanations.
Lin Wan'er flicked her sleeve and said.
"Stop talking and just leave. You're just thinking about nonsense."
The eldest and second eldest brothers had no choice but to leave with their heads hanging low.
Not long after, the eldest and second eldest brothers approached Lin Wan'er again.
The older brother said with a fawning expression.
"Wan'er, why don't you give us some ideas on what kind of business can make money?"
Lin Wan'er said irritably.
"Go if you want to, and don't bother me anymore."
The eldest and second eldest brothers looked at Lin Wan'er expectantly. Lin Wan'er was so bothered by them that she thought for a moment and said.
"You could open a specialty pastry shop; people nowadays love to eat novel and delicious pastries."
The eldest and second eldest brothers' eyes lit up when they heard this, and they nodded repeatedly.
"That's a great idea! That's a great idea!"
So, they excitedly began preparing to open a pastry shop.
A few days later, they came to see Lin Wan'er again, looking worried and distressed.
"Wan'er, it's not easy to run a pastry shop. The pastry chef we found isn't skilled enough, and nobody likes the pastries he makes."
Lin Wan'er shook her head helplessly.
"Then you need to find a skilled craftsman."
The second brother said with a bitter face.
"Good chefs are too expensive; we can't afford them."
Lin Wan'er rolled her eyes.
"Why didn't you plan this out properly before?"
The eldest brother suddenly said:
"How about Wan'er, lend us some more money so we can hire a good tutor?"
Lin Wan'er crossed her arms over her chest.
"No, I won't lend you any more money. You'll have to figure it out yourselves."
The eldest and second eldest brothers started to plead and beg again.
At this moment, the second brother said, "We've come up with a new idea: to sell a beauty pill that supposedly keeps people young forever."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er was both amused and exasperated: "Second brother, this kind of thing sounds like a scam. Who would buy it?"
