"Heaven is our father and Earth is our mother. We even have two children. How can it be lonely?"
"That makes sense."
Jiujiu chuckled. She looked at Xiang Bei and said, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll cook for you. "
Xiang Bei said, "Let's eat hotpot. We ate this the first time we met. Since you've agreed to marry me, let's eat this too."
"Okay, let's eat this."
As the two of them had already confirmed that they were going to get married and had been living together for almost a year, they were no longer as bashful as ordinary people. Jiujiu directly asked Xiang Bei to go to the market to buy ingredients while she used the bone she bought yesterday to cook soup for the hot pot later.
During dinner, the two children were overjoyed when they found out that Jiujiu was going to marry Xiang Bei. Even though Jiujiu and Xiang Bei were not married yet, the two children were already calling Xiang Bei 'Daddy'.
Jiujiu did not intend to correct the two children for calling Xiang Bei their father.
Even though Xiang Bei was not the biological father of these two children, he was much better than their biological father.
After all, one was a human and the other was a beast. How could they be compared?
Jiujiu was in the clothing business, so the wedding clothes were naturally made by her shop.
On the day of the wedding, only Jiujiu, Xiang Bei, and the two children were able to sit at the same table.
Although the wedding was very simple, the couple's hearts were burning. This was especially true for Xiang Bei, who was completely devoted to Jiujiu.
Half a month later, the results of the Fall Imperial Examination were released.
Xiang Bei was in second place and successfully passed the court examination next year.
The court examination was to write an essay in front of the Emperor. The Emperor would then pick the top scholar.
After knowing his results, Xiang Bei felt that he was the happiest man in the world.
Not only did he pass the court examination next year, he also had a wife and children. There was no other man in the world who was happier than him.
The business of Jiujiu's clothing shop was getting better and better. Jiujiu bought the courtyard next door and hired a few embroiderers.
Of course, some of her previous embroiderers had also been poached by other clothing stores at high prices.
Jiujiu did not reprimand the embroiderers who insisted on leaving. Instead, she gave them an extra month's worth of money, indicating that her rules were that as long as they left, they could not go back on their word.
An embroiderer who could be poached at a high price could only accept the high price offered by others. How could she possibly listen to Jiujiu's words?
Moreover, since the other party was willing to offer a higher price than Jiujiu, they naturally felt that they would not regret it.
When they arrived at the other boutiques, they naturally made the same clothes as the ones in Jiujiu's boutiques.
In order to compete for business, other shops naturally offered much lower prices than Jiujiu's shop. Soon, they attracted some customers.
However, they soon realized that although their clothes were cheaper, the same style and color of the clothes in Jiujiu's boutiques were much better than the clothes bought from other shops.
Therefore, although the other boutiques used low prices to win over some customers in the beginning, the long-term business could not be maintained with low prices.
After all, if the shop wanted to make money, they would naturally raise the price after paying a low cost.
However, what they did not understand was that Jiujiu's boutiques did not rely on the style of the clothes to retain customers. Instead, she relied on her own understanding of the customer's body to adjust the style of the clothes and make the clothes as suitable for the customer as possible.
The embroiderers they found did not have this ability. Therefore, when they raised the price of the clothes, the customers who were originally attracted by the low price left again.
Jiujiu knew that the reason why her boutiques were able to make so much money was because of her ability. However, those embroiderers did not know this at all.
Therefore, they left so confidently. They felt that after leaving Jiujiu, they would be able to live better with their new boss than with Jiujiu.
However, in reality, businessmen were creatures that valued benefits the most.
When you could create benefits for them, you would do whatever you said. Once you could no longer create enough benefits for them, it was time for them to fall out with you.
In the beginning, those embroiderers could still create benefits for the boss. Therefore, the boss's attitude towards the embroiderers was very good. He was even willing to provide them with some benefits that Jiujiu's boutiques did not have. Because he really wanted to keep these embroiderers.
However, when they realized that the benefits these embroiderers created were not as good as their investment, it was time for them to fall out with him.
Jiujiu was not surprised that those bosses would fall out with her.
Therefore, when those embroiderers who left complacently cried and begged to come back, Jiujiu directly rejected them.
When they left previously, she told them that they could leave, but they could not come back after they left.
In order to poach the embroiderers under Jiujiu, those bosses who tried to poach the embroiderers under Jiujiu's boutiques made those embroiderers feel that they were capable and could find a better boss than Jiujiu.
However, reality had taught them a lesson.
In reality, Jiujiu was the best match in their lives. They could not find a better boss than Jiujiu.
Now, it was too late for them to come back.
Moreover, Jiujiu just happened to use these embroiderers who left but wanted to come back as a warning to the others. She wanted to tell those embroiderers who were still working in the boutiques that they would definitely regret leaving the boutiques.
After they regretted it, she would definitely not be magnanimous enough to forgive them for leaving.
After crying for a long time to no avail, those regretful embroiderers could only leave resentfully.
After those embroiderers went back on their words and asked Jiujiu to come back, no embroiderers in Jiujiu's boutiques wanted to leave.
As Jiujiu's business was in full swing, it was soon the twelfth lunar month.
Jiujiu's income this year was much more than last year. Therefore, they were more prepared for the New Year this year.
At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Jiujiu started to buy New Year goods.
Moreover, not only did she buy New Year goods for her own family, but she also bought one set for each embroiderer in her boutiques. She even gave each embroiderer a red envelope with one silver tael.
Jiujiu's generosity made the embroiderers who were already dead set on her even more determined. It also made those embroiderers who left her feel even more regret when they heard the news.
However, it was too late for regrets now.
After distributing the New Year goods to the embroiderers, Jiujiu closed the boutiques half a month in advance and focused on preparing for the New Year for her small family.
The variety of food was naturally much more abundant than last year.
Now that Jiujiu was married to Xiang Bei, Xiang Bei was at the side lighting the fire when Jiujiu was preparing to eat. The two of them spoke softly.
Xiang Bei had read thousands of books since he was young. Although he could not say that he knew everything from astronomy to geography, he was familiar with ancient and modern times. He could casually respond to Jiujiu's words and even use very interesting language to reply.
