After Qiu Xiang and Su Xueyun moved together, Su Xueyun began to plan to open a shop. They only had a study as a source of income before, and it was really a little less to feed so many people, and she also had to save dowries for her two younger sisters and assets for her future children, and she was expected to be idle for the next ten years. Fortunately, she has long been experienced in doing business, and she has a good idea of all the preparations in her heart, and she is not in a hurry to do things.

Su Xueyun took the two of them to look for a suitable shop while observing on the street, Qiu Xiang knew the capital very well, and had been introducing Su Xueyun to where there were many people, where there were bullies, and so on. Zhu Xiaolian saw Su Xueyun passing by in front of several studyes, and she didn't mean to go in and have a look, so she couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, aren't we opening a study?" Do you want to go and see if your peers' business is good? ”

Su Xueyun said with a smile: "We don't open a study, in the past, your brother opened a study in Suzhou because he was famous there, and of course there is a business in the study related to Suzhou Sanbao." But in the capital, every store that can be opened has a little way behind it, and it has long grasped the supply of goods and has a fixed customer. When we first arrived, it was easy to lose money by stealing business with them, and we would offend people if we couldn't make any money. ”

Zhu Xiaolian nodded instructively, with a contemplative expression, "Then what kind of shop do we open?" Without waiting for Su Xueyun to speak, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said happily, "Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are a must, otherwise we will open a restaurant, and the business will definitely be booming!" ”

Qiu Xiang also looked at Su Xueyun and said with a smile: "Yes, sister, your craftsmanship is so good, it is even better than pomegranates, pomegranates have always been called the first shovel in the world before!" If you open a restaurant, I think there will be a lot of people who will like to eat it, and then the money will come in! ”

Su Xueyun shook her head with a smile, led them into a fat powder shop, slowly looked at the goods inside, and said with a smile: "Although I am very happy to hear you two praise me, I don't want to be a cook for the rest of my life." If I invite other chefs, it has nothing to do with my craft, so what's the difference with other restaurants? At most, my recipe is a little special, but this thing is the easiest thing to be stolen, and people who understand it can imitate it after eating it a few times. ”

Qiu Xiang subconsciously curled a strand of hair on her shoulder with her fingers, and pondered, "Then what should I do?" ”

While the two little girls were frowning and pondering, Su Xueyun had already picked out a few of the best rouge gouaches in the store, and after paying the silver, she divided the things equally among Zhu Xiaolian and Qiu Xiang, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go and have a look elsewhere." ”

This was the first time they had gone shopping to buy something, and the two girls couldn't help but be a little curious, and followed Su Xueyun to look at the things in their hands, and then they both showed joy.

Zhu Xiaolian said: "This rouge is much better than the rouge in Suzhou, and there are really many good things in the capital." ”

Qiu Xiang opened the box and smelled it, and said with a smile: "It's so fragrant, of course this rouge is good, that one is the best rouge shop in the capital just now, I see that Mrs. has used this kind of rouge, and Mrs. likes it very much." But sister, this one is very expensive, isn't it too wasteful for you to buy so much for us? ”

Zhu Xiaolian hurriedly put away the rouge when she heard this, for fear that she would accidentally get rid of it, and said tangledly: "Sister-in-law, why don't we take it back and return it, I'll just use the kind of rouge on the stall, don't be so expensive." ”

Qiu Xiang also nodded again and again, "Yes, sister, you don't have to buy me such a good thing." ”

Su Xueyun patted their hands soothingly, and said with a smile: "You two just use it, don't think so much, even if the girls in our family don't use the best now, they will use the best in the future, you don't have to worry about the silver, sister-in-law has a way." ”

Then Su Xueyun led them to the gold shop and the ready-to-wear store, and bought a lot of things for them, and in the end, the two of them didn't care about what shop they wanted to open, they only cared about the money. After arriving home, Su Xueyun drank a cup of tea, and when she saw that they still looked distressed, she couldn't help but laugh: "Didn't you say that you wanted to see the situation of your peers?" I buy these things to know myself and the other, let's use them first to know what is good about other people's things. ”

Qiu Xiang was surprised: "Sister, you want to open a shop to sell rouge, jewelry and clothes?" ”

Su Xueyun nodded, and Zhu Xiaolian immediately said urgently: "Sister-in-law, where do we understand this?" Isn't it a loss to open a shop? Also, you said before that we shouldn't steal business from others when we first arrived, so wouldn't we get into trouble if we sold these? ”

Su Xueyun beckoned the two of them to sit down in front of them, and explained to them carefully, "The study is usually used by scholars, in Suzhou we can borrow the reputation of Zhishan, but if we do this in the capital, we will be despised, and the guests of the study are scholars, and most of the scholars are high-ranking people, so they may not be willing to patronize our business, and we will offend other scholars because of this." But women's business is different, although women will also patronize familiar shops, but women pay the most attention to whether things are good or not, as long as our things are good, they will definitely come, if anyone wants to trouble us, those officials and wives will be the first to disagree. And women have the best money, as long as they feel that they will become beautiful when they buy our things, they will happily pay for it. As for the formula of rouge gouache, I just know a little bit, and it is not a problem to open a shop. ”

Qiu Xiang said thoughtfully: "Sister, what you said is very reasonable, the shops that Madame likes cost a lot of silver every month." And we can also ask Mrs. to help us when we open such a shop, and with Mrs. here, no one will dare to trouble us. ”

Su Xueyun smiled and nodded, "Not only that, Mrs. Taishi can also bring us a lot of guests, what Mrs. Taishi has bought, who dares to say that it is not good, if there is a chance to let the palace concubines in the palace use our goods, even if we have a foothold in the capital, we will not be easily shaken." ”

Zhu Xiaolian looked at Su Xueyun with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "It turns out that my sister-in-law has planned it, I don't understand these things, but I can help." Sister-in-law, what do you say, I'll just listen to your instructions. ”

Su Xueyun said with a smile: "Of course you two have to help, not only do you have to work diligently, but also learn to take care of the shop with your heart, and when you get married in the future, I will choose a few of your favorite shops for you to dowry." ”

Hearing about getting married, Zhu Xiaolian and Qiu Xiang glanced at each other, both a little shy, but their eyes were also full of joy, and they were glad that Su Xueyun planned for them like this, and she really put them in her heart.

Chen Xiaosheng walked in from outside the door, saw them and asked, "What are you talking about, so happy?" ”

Su Xueyun poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "I'm talking about opening a shop, I've already chosen a location, let's go and see it another day." ”

"Okay, you can decide these things, anyway, I don't know you." Chen Xiaosheng smiled and sat beside her and drank tea.

Zhou Wenbin followed him into the door, glanced at the table, and said in surprise: "You bought so many things today?" Is today a special day? Whose birthday? ”

Zhu Xiaolian said while packing up her jewelry: "Do you have to have a special day to buy things?" We didn't have these things, of course bought. ”

"Really?" Zhou Wenbin looked at the rouge gouache and glanced at Zhu Xiaolian's face, and said puzzledly, "But you don't usually seem to use these things, I thought you didn't like it." ”

Zhu Xiaolian snorted lightly and said, "I don't need it to mean that I don't like it, and what I use doesn't mean that I like it." You're still a talent, and you don't even understand this truth, do you use everything you like? ”

“…… Oh. Zhou Wenbin sat down silently and poured tea, feeling that he should understand that silence is gold at this time.

But Zhu Xiaolian saw that he didn't speak again, and her brows furrowed, "What are you 'oh' about?" You've known each other for so long, you don't even know our birthday! ”

Zhou Wenbin subconsciously asked, "Then do you know my birthday?" ”

"You!" Zhu Xiaolian was choked for a moment, so she simply picked up her things, got up and said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, I'm going to cook!" ”

Qiu Xiang couldn't help but smile and got up and said, "I'll help Xiaolian, sister, you can talk slowly." ”

After they left, Zhou Wenbin asked with a confused expression, "Did I say the wrong thing again?" Why is Xiaolian angry again? ”

Chen Xiaosheng patted him on the shoulder helplessly, and sighed: "You didn't say the wrong thing, you are wood, okay, you can reflect slowly here, I'll go back to the room to change clothes." ”

Su Xueyun stood up, and kindly reminded her before leaving, "You just have to go along with what the girl's family says, sometimes it's just casual talk, don't be so serious." When you meet the girl you like in the future, don't be so woody. ”

Zhou Wenbin watched the couple leave with a smile, and admired Chen Xiaosheng very much, even a woman as powerful as Su Xueyun was coaxed by Chen Xiaosheng happily, no wonder other people's lives could be so nourishing. Zhou Wenbin lowered his head and thought about what they said, feeling as if he understood something, and as if there was a layer of fog that he couldn't figure out. After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Wenbin decided not to think about it first, and the most important thing was to let Zhu Xiaolian dissipate her anger.

So Zhou Wenbin went to the kitchen, and saw that only Zhu Xiaolian was cutting vegetables alone, so he hurriedly walked over and rolled up his sleeves and said: "I'll come, it's very hard to chop vegetables, although I can't cook well, but it's okay to chop vegetables." ”

Zhu Xiaolian kept moving, and said without raising her head: "What are you doing here?" You finally won the appreciation of the master, the scientific examination is expected, you should go to study hard, don't wait and say that I will delay you to read the book. ”

Zhou Wenbin hurriedly said: "How come? There's no way I'm going to say that, I like to help you do things. ”

The corners of Zhu Xiaolian's mouth were almost invisibly curved, and she pretended to be cold and handed the kitchen knife to Zhou Wenbin, "Na, cut it for you, I'll make noodles." ”

"Oh, okay, you mix the noodles first, I'll knead the noodles later, that's also very laborious." Zhou Wenbin reached out to catch the kitchen knife and accidentally touched Zhu Xiaolian's hand, and the delicate and smooth skin made him stunned for a moment.

Zhu Xiaolian immediately withdrew her hand and turned around, even the roots of her ears were red!

The author has something to say: I heard that a chapter of 3,000 words has the best reading experience? I used to get used to the big long chapter, and I tried it in separate developments, and I saw three more!
