Meizhen said: "That's the case, don't I have a glass jewelry workshop myself?" Although it is a small fight, there is a little money to be made every year. In the past, I used to put a small counter in some stores of Wanjia Silver Building to display my glass jewelry. But this sales have not been large. I thought, can we put a counter in our treasure mirror shop like our family's perfume, which sells my glass jewelry, okay? ”

Wen Hui smiled: "What's wrong with this, in fact, I also want to say something related to this, I want to put our family's perfume in our treasure mirror shop to sell, what do you think?" ”

Meizhen smiled: "Then we will have to get two counters that specialize in selling things." One specializes in perfumes and the other sells my glass jewelry. So we're consigning? Or do you send someone to manage your own counter? ”

Wen Hui thought about it and said: "In this way, let's give our guys in Baojing Fang a chance to make money, and let the guys help us sell it and give them a share, what do you think?" ”

Mi-jin said, "Well, that's fine. ”

Wen Hui thought for a while and said: "Our things are all unified with a color and style counter, I will design it when I go back, and give you the drawing, and you can help come up with ideas, okay." ”

Meizhen smiled: "Speaking of drawing, I really didn't know before, it turns out that your painting skills are so good, how good is painting, when are you free, can you also spend one on me?" ”

Wen Hui smiled: "Sister-in-law, you are too exalted to me, what is my point, but I am just idle to draw and play, how can I praise it." If you don't like it, I'll draw you ten. Don't know what you want? People, flowers, birds, landscapes? How about I draw a picture of your life with your eldest brother? The two of you are in deep love. ”

Meizhen said: "You're making fun of me again, where can I be photogenic like this?" If you don't give me a landscape, I'll frame it and hang it in my study. It's not hanging in your big brother's study. You don't have to worry. In my study, all the people who come and go are my maids and stewards. And how many more fans I want, how about it? The fan surface is also made of flowers and birds, or a picture of a lady. ”

Wen Hui smiled: "This is no problem, but the lady is going to make a look like her sister-in-law, where can I find a beauty like you?" ”

Meizhen was also very happy and said: "What kind of beauty am I, I don't have to make people laugh, otherwise, you can make a show of these girls of mine." I think they're pretty good, too. Youth is fleeting. It's also good to keep a small shadow. ”

Wen Hui said: "There is no problem. However, as soon as you remind me, I think it would be good to draw a few pictures of these maids and make a souvenir for them. ”

The two sisters-in-law spoke for a while. I felt bored from sitting there, so I got up and called a taxi. I took the maids to go shopping.

Nowadays, because of the three routes, there are more people buying boats, and the wharf is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are more people in the city. The two sisters-in-law walked around, of course, they also visited the branch of Wanjia Yinlou in Shanghai, and found that the business of this branch was very good.

I visited the Cuijin Building at home again, and found that the business is simply hot, most of the people in Shanghai City are here to do business, many of these people are with their female dependents, the female dependents of these merchants, the most like to dress up, because they have money, they buy more clothes than others, and naturally the business of Cuijin Building is good.

I also visited the newly opened Treasure Mirror Workshop, and the business was also very good. Upstairs in the Baojing Fang, Wen Hui and Meizhen were also tired of shopping, so they sat down to rest, Wen Hui said: "Sister-in-law, I originally thought that the opening of the Baojing Fang in Shanghai City was to sell things overseas for convenience, but I didn't expect that the sales in this city are also so good, it is actually better than Qingyang City and Heyang City, second only to the branches of Suzhou City and Beijing." ”

Meizhen said: "Yes, this is because the local merchants are gathered, there are many rich people, and these merchants have bought houses in Shanghai, and when the houses of the fifth and sixth phases are delivered, you see, our mirrors and glass products will sell quickly." ”

Wen Hui asked, "Oh, does this also matter?" ”

Meizhen said: "Of course, now, these businessmen live temporarily in Shanghai, or live in their rented and bought shops, which are naturally temporary and cramped, and they can't furnish their homes. When they buy a house that can be used, it is natural to decorate it, and this decoration will have to buy a mirror, especially the high-priced dressing mirror must be very popular, and all kinds of high-end glass ornaments are the most popular, as well as high-quality glassware, which is also popular. ”

Wen Hui thought about it, those who can afford to buy a horse and a saddle, and those who can afford to buy a house in Shanghai are all big businessmen, so naturally they all have the money to buy these luxury goods, these dressing mirrors, glass furnishings and the like are really necessary to buy, in this way, can the business not be hot?

Wen Hui hurriedly said to Meizhen happily: "Sister-in-law, then you let the workshop make more goods like this, but the second brother said that because several construction periods were carried out together before, so now the three phases of the house may have to be delivered." There will definitely be more people who will want to buy things by then. ”

Mi-jin said, "Really? I don't know about this, I have to hurry up and tell the workshop over there, where did I think that these three phases would come up together. ”

Wen Hui said: "It's not together, but the interval will not be long, that is, half a month apart." ”

Meizhen hurriedly called the shopkeeper and asked him to get ready, list the things commonly used at home, send someone to the workshop, and tell the craftsmen to make more and stock up.

After doing this, Meizhen and Wen Hui were also tired, so they went home for dinner, and originally wanted to go to Qinghelou to eat, but Qinghelou's business was so good, in order to make more money for their family, the two decided to go home to eat.

Because she wanted to finish the counter before the house was about to be handed over, Wen Hui hurriedly produced the design draft, and after some discussion with Meizhen, changed it, and finally finalized it and handed it over to the craftsman to do. Now there are special counters in the Shanghai City store, and the rest of the branches will be slowly made in the future.

Finally, the residential houses in Shanghai City have also been delivered, and once they are delivered, there are more people who rent houses, buy more houses, and decorate houses, and the business of Baojingfang is really hot. Fortunately, there was sufficient stock and there was no out-of-stock. With perfume, it also sold a lot, and Meizhen's glass jewelry also sold a lot. These are all bought by the ladies who came to decorate the house to choose mirrors and glass decorations, which made Wen Hui and Meizhen smile from ear to ear.

Shanghai City, now is beginning to take shape, the city is very clean, the road is wide and smooth, are bluestone pavement, the road below, there are neat sewers on both sides, garbage are specially collected by special people, Shanghai City's sanitation management is very standardized, once found to litter, littering, all heavy fines, after several times, the merchants who come to Shanghai City to do business have learned to abide by the health order of Shanghai City.

In this way, Shanghai has become the cleanest and most hygienic city in Dachu. Not to mention, the planning of Shanghai City is also very good, the shops are in the commercial area, the restaurants are in the dining area, and the residences are all in a quiet area, surrounded by green and shaded areas, and flowers are planted on both sides of the road, which looks very fresh and pleasant.

Over time, these businessmen who originally just came to do business fell in love with the life of Shanghai, and then returned to their dirty and messy hometown but some did not adapt, so that more and more people settled in Shanghai, Shanghai became more and more prosperous, and the commerce of Shanghai became more and more developed, not only the sea trade was developed, but the city's own consumption power also increased.

In order to solve the growing population of Shanghai, the city owner decided to open three more phases of residences, a restaurant, and a shop, so that a total of five phases of the project were sold at the same time.

Time passed quickly, it was already August, and Wen Hui and the others packed up and prepared to go home after finishing the accounts. Pearl's wedding is coming.

The development of Shanghai City here is changing with each passing day, and in Qingyang City over there, in Liu Yan's mansion, the princess Chen Wenfeng, who is already a pot-bellied princess, is having a gloomy face, receiving one million taels of silver from the guards sent by Wen Hui.

After Hongxing and the others left, she helped Chen Wenfeng to sit down and said: "Princess, Aunt Wang is trembling all of a sudden, before this, she relied on a dowry of more than 100,000 taels of silver, and she bought the mansion up and down, and she was full of good things to say. ”

Wen Feng pursed his lips and didn't say a word, just sat gloomily, and said half-loudly: "I still have to ask the prince about this, although the prince said that when the million taels of silver come back, I will give it to Aunt Wang." But at that time, no one took it seriously, after all, with such a big business, how could it be possible to return to the capital within a year? Thinking about it, what's the matter, it will take ten or eight years for this million taels of silver to come back, at that time, we may have already left this Jiangnan and returned to the capital, when the time comes, who will remember this thing? In that case, the prince may ask for the money himself. Even if the prince doesn't want it, it doesn't matter, as a concubine, she should be handed over to the master's mother, and when the time comes, find a way and let her hand it over by herself. Where did you think, how could it be so fast? Aunt Wang has been in our house for less than a year, how long has it been since the prince said this, this million taels of silver has come back in such a vast way, everyone is watching, what should I do? ”

Hongxing said: "Yes, it's really unexpected." ”

Wen Feng was unwilling to say: "No, I can't let Aunt Wang hold this money in her hand, or there will be endless troubles, I have to think of a way." ”
