Chapter 18: Yuhua Pavilion

If you talk about efficiency, the efficiency of Lin Mu is extremely high; Within three days, I found a suitable store, took Moon Shadow to see the lot, and if it was suitable, I took it down.

Coming to the most prosperous area of the capital, the original curtain was to sell food, but because the business of the big restaurant is too good, although the store is small, but the rent is extremely high, and there is no characteristic, so now it is not able to operate, the store is being subleased, although the restaurant is small, but if it is a paste shop, it is big enough.

It feels good to walk around this shop, not to mention the bustling area, and there are several shops of rouge silk and jade jewelry around. As long as you rectify it, this is a good place.

After discussing with my mother, I decided to buy the lot of this restaurant instead of renting it, after all, if it becomes bigger in the future, the profits here cannot always be used to share the rent. When the time comes, if the store is done, I am afraid that it will be more expensive, this land belongs to the Jiang family, the Jiang family is a famous merchant in the capital, all kinds of business in the underworld and white road, all of which are done, and there are many real estate and Zhuangzi. This most prosperous area, as long as you keep it, it will always appreciate, if you are not short of money, you can rent it, but I am afraid it will be difficult to buy.

Moon Shadow naturally knew that the Jiang family was afraid that it would be difficult for the Jiang family to let it out. But it's not completely impossible, after all, you still have to give it a try, doing business, not only pay attention to making money, but also pay attention to making contacts, no matter how rich the businessman family is, it is still willing to live more, more cooperation, so that each other is more trusting.

Mother means that if you really want to buy a shop, you should look for it again. It's good to see a few more, but the Jiang family's location is really good, the one next to the shop, the Yang Ji silk shop and the jade shop, are the marriage of the Jiang family's eldest lady, the Yang family's Jiang family's two wealthy businessmen do a very wide range of business, all over the shop, the most prosperous area of each city, there are always these two shops, a few years ago, these two also married, which made the power and financial resources of the two families reach a peak at this time.

Back at the house, Moon Shadow took out the face paste she had made before, sat at the desk and looked at it repeatedly, after two or three pillars of incense, took the face paste to her mother's yard, informed her mother of her plan, and went to Jiang's house with her mother.

The mother handed the post to the Jiang family, saying that she wanted to prepare a birthday banquet for Moon Shadow and wanted to talk to the eldest lady of the Jiang family. The person who handed over the post got a reply from the Jiang family on the spot, saying that he was waiting for him at any time. I can't care about any etiquette for my daughter, so I will clean up after a while and set off for Jiang's house. But was stopped by Moon Shadow.

Don't be in a hurry about this matter, go again tomorrow, otherwise the other party will go as soon as he replies, it seems too eager, and he will fall behind when he doesn't talk about it. After talking to his mother about the rhythm of tomorrow's conversation and the main content of the conversation, he carefully analyzed whether there would be any concerns about the Jiang family's wife, and after confirming it, it was already dark when Moon Shadow returned to the courtyard.

Walking into the courtyard, looking at Yuelu who was anxiously waiting for him, and Yuehua, who was obviously accompanying Yuelu, there was a little comfort in his heart. For such a long time, with his careful teaching, Yuehua is like this; The moon dew, hey, it's also a matter of concern, but after that, you still have to guide the moon dew more, and you must not care about it, because chaos will change.

"It's late, why are you still sitting in the yard, the cold evening breeze is not good for your health, go back and drink a bowl of ginger tea to drive away the cold." Moon Shadow smiled and gave the order to evict the guest.

Yuehua naturally understands that Moon Shadow doesn't want to say more; Actually, I didn't mean to hear about it. Therefore, he was very cooperative and said, "Lu'er, I told you a long time ago, the moon shadow is good, you see her spirit, and this complexion, let's go, go back and drink a bowl of ginger tea to drive away the cold." I'm getting cold. Shadow, we'll come back another day. ”

Hearing Yuehua's reply, Moon Shadow was even more satisfied, the children were teachable, there was a degree of advance and retreat, not embarrassment, and it was very comfortable to get along with each other, which was the key point in the palace not to be caught and criticized. If it was really compared before, the current idea of Moon Shadow is that it is not surprising, as long as Yuehua is willing, it is naturally the best for Yuehua to enter the palace.

Yuelu wanted to say something, but during this time, there was a lot of exposure to it, and naturally she heard that Yueying didn't want to say more, so if she didn't ask, she didn't come to make trouble, maybe it was what Yueying really needed. I smiled when I thought about it, "Yes, then let's go back, this weather, we do go to drink a bowl of ginger tea to drive away the cold." ”

Hearing that Yuelu didn't ask, Moon Shadow also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. It's not that I'm afraid of people knowing, it's just that I have a lot of things to do now, and I'm not in the mood to explain them to Yuelu one by one, which is too exhausting. Besides, I have to talk to Mrs. Jiang about the shop tomorrow. I need to sort out my thoughts when I go back.

As soon as I sat down when I got back to the house, my brother came. Brought the information that my brother had gathered during the day today. Moon Shadow also told her brother about the store she was optimistic about with her mother today. Hearing the Jiang family, my brother said, "If you can't handle it, my brother will help you settle it." ”

"How? By grabbing? ”

"Is your brother such a person in your mind?"

"Brother is the best person in my heart, good brother, tell me quickly, how can I help my little sister settle this matter?"

"I'm friends with that Jiang Tiehammer, I'll help you say, and I don't want his shop for nothing, he will definitely give me this face."

"Poof!" Moon Shadow couldn't hold back and laughed, "Brother, why did you give the Jiang family's son such a vulgar nickname." "This noble family in the capital knows the son of the Jiang family, whose name is Jiang Wufeng, and his name is Zhu'an; Among the sons of the Jiang family, it is also rare to have such a crown of jade, why did they give such a bold nickname. What's the story behind this?

"Tell you, but don't tell me."

"Guaranteed! Let's talk about it. β€œ

"His wife, I don't know where I was a few days ago, I changed a "Purple Gold Eight Treasures Iron Hammer", and Brother Jiang's nightmare came. His wife said that he went to Miaoyuan Temple to tell fortunes, saying that the eldest son of the Jiang family was short of gold, and if he could make up for the gold, he would naturally be able to go more smoothly, and forced him to practice iron hammers in the courtyard every day, and if he didn't practice enough for half a pillar of incense, his wife would not let him go out. Originally, he wanted to resist to the death, but he didn't expect that Jiang Wufeng and his mother heard it and felt that his wife's idea was very good, not only to strengthen the body, but also to make up for the five elements. Let him be doomed. Those who are familiar with him are all called Jiang Tiehammer. ”

"When I heard it, I felt that it was inevitable. But brother, how did you know Jiang Gongzi? β€œ

"Many years ago, when the college was collecting funds for disaster relief, he was the largest disaster relief funder, and I knew him at that time. How about it, I'll help you talk about the shop. β€œ

"Brother, let me try it first, if it doesn't work, then ask my brother to help, do you think this is good?"

"Good! It's just that my sister is so good, I'm afraid if you want to do it yourself, you won't have anything to do with my brother. β€œ

"Oops~! It's still best to have a brother, my brother and Jiang Gongzi are friends, so when I talk to Mrs. Jiang tomorrow, I will naturally have more confidence, besides, it's really not good, showing the love between my brother and Jiang Gongzi, but also my brother's light. "Moon Shadow is a sycophant, and Lin Zichen is also in a good mood.

The next day, after noon, I went to the tea party that I had made an appointment. Entering the Jiang Mansion, I have never seen such an exquisite courtyard in the palace all my life, step by step, and the craftsman's ingenious design, which is really stepping on the gold step by step.

I have always heard that the eldest lady of the Jiang family is the most extravagant, and now I really know when I see this yard, especially the tree pit under every tree in the Jiang Mansion is paved with agate stone, and some trees are still hung with Western crystal stones. Before he reached the place where he was drinking, the eldest lady of the Jiang family greeted him. Warm greetings with her mother, I heard that this Mrs. Jiang, when she was not out of the cabinet, was exquisite, and once even disguised herself as a man, and followed her father Mr. Yang to do business, and also did the business prosperously, Mr. Yang once wanted Mrs. Jiang to inherit the family business. But helpless to the pressure of the world, in the end, Master Yang still compromised. Mrs. Jiang can be called the hero in the fat powder pile.

"Mrs. Lin, it's rare for you to come to the door, and I've prepared this year's Mao Feng, I don't know if you like it or not." Mrs. Jiang enthusiastically guided the Lin family's mother and daughter.

"It's because we're bothered."

"Here, Mrs. Lin's eldest daughter, Moon Shadow, is really a cute little girl." Mrs. Jiang is the same as a person, yesterday from the concierge into the Lin Mansion's worship post, she knew that the Lin Mansion had something to ask for, although there were plans in her heart, if it was not a big loss, but she could help it, sometimes she suffered a small loss, helped a little favor, and it could not be shown for a while, and the time was long, naturally it was different, and the connections of businessmen were accumulated bit by bit.

"I've seen Mrs. Jiang." Moon Shadow stood still and bowed, before continuing to walk forward.

Mrs. Jiang saw that the etiquette of the eldest daughter of the Lin family was taught so well, and she secretly praised it. After all, it is difficult for the merchant family to invite the female officials in the palace to teach, looking at Miss Lin's style, I am afraid that she has been practicing since she was a child, otherwise how can she be so natural, sure enough, the Lin family is still very profound. While walking, I made a noise with Lin Duhan, and walked to a room specially arranged in the courtyard to entertain guests, this room is on the water, a total of one and a half floors, this room has a small half floor below, which is connected to the bridge, and the door to enter and the door to meet guests above are not in the same direction. If Mrs. Jiang comes here at night, the people will come to the small half of the floor below first, and light up the lights below, if you look down from above, the glass lamps hanging on the lower half will illuminate the lake. The koi fish in the lake swim around, and it is very beautiful.

But this design is also extremely extravagant, this light on the first floor illuminates the lake, that ordinary people's homes, a year's lamp oil, this Mrs. Jiang can be burned in one night. Walking up to the upper half of the floor, there is a light veil on all sides, surrounded by a wheel fan in the Western Regions, a basin of ice cubes is placed in front of the wheel fan, and a maid sits on the edge of each wheel fan, adding ice and pulling the wheel fan. This configuration is really top-notch wealth.

Mrs. Jiang was very proud when she saw Mrs. Lin and the eldest lady of the Lin family admiring her yard so much, after all, everyone who came from this courtyard felt as if they had come to a fairyland.

"Mrs. Lin, please take a seat."

Mother Lin naturally sat down from the goodness, although Mother Lin had never seen such a luxurious place, but she had also eaten and seen, although she was a little shocked and so extravagant, but it would not lose her sense of proportion, and the shame would be small, and the matter of delaying her daughter was big.

After everyone was seated, the maids served tea, and Mrs. Jiang asked, "I don't know what happened to Mrs. Lin?" ”

"Actually, it's my daughter, who has to beg me to bring her to meet you."

"Oh? I don't know what Miss Lin is looking for me? Mrs. Jiang thought about what a child could do, so she teased Moon Shadow in a childlike tone, and felt that her little adult-like expression was very funny.

"Mrs. Jiang, I want to open a cream shop."

"Is this a business from me?"

"No, I want to cooperate with my wife." As he spoke, Lan'er handed over a white jasmine-scented balm that she had made before. When Mrs. Jiang saw this ointment, she also became serious. Listen as Moon Shadow continues. "This is a face cream I made before. Madame, you can open it and take a look, if you think the quality is acceptable, let's talk about it again. ”

Mrs. Jiang opened the cream, the texture of the cream was white, the aroma was fragrant but not pungent, the hand and abdomen slid over the cream, the texture was uniform and smooth, picked up part of the cream, pushed it away on the back of the hand, moisturizing and not greasy, the aroma, texture, and preliminary judgment were all superior, but I don't know what the effect is. But he still nodded, and he made a profit on the aroma and texture. And asked, "It's not that I can't believe Miss Lin, but I still need to know how Miss Lin's ointment came about, after all, if this is promoted and wiped on the faces of the nobles in the capital, you can't be completely ignorant." β€œ

"The origin of this recipe, it is inconvenient for me to say at present, but when the one thing I want to do falls, it will be more than a year, less than half a year, and I will definitely tell the ins and outs of the recipe to Mrs. in detail, and now I can only vouch for myself. I will leave this jar of cream later, you can find someone to apply only half of the cream to your face, and apply it for half a month, so you will naturally know this cream. β€œ

Listening to the eldest lady of the Lin family say this, if it is a real experiment, and then agree, this cooperation is reluctant and unpleasant. Although the cream must be tried by someone after it is left, it still can't be left behind at this moment. "Look at what you kid said, I naturally believe you, you say cooperation, how to do it? How many products do you have? Do you have a preliminary plan for the follow-up new cream? β€œ

Listening to Mrs. Jiang's words, she really deserves to be a businessman, and she asked what she wanted to ask, and it also made people feel that she was extremely happy and easy to cooperate: "I now have 16 paste recipes that can be made in my hands, and the follow-up research and development is naturally by me, and the one you just touched is made by me." The cooperation is naturally to invite you to take a stake, and I want to buy the restaurant you want to rent out on the long street as a cream shop. I looked at the surrounding environment, there happened to be Yang Ji silk shop and jade shop, if we cooperate, in the future, we will slowly take down the surrounding shops, this street to our side, rouge gouache, silk satin, face paste jade, you want to buy, there are all here, the source of customers will be more, and the fame will be greater. My mother has purchased two courtyards in the suburbs of Beijing, which are specially used to produce paste, and the maids who produce the paste are all signed by the death deed, and the important parts of the paste are made separately. If Mrs. Jiang is interested, then the shop is your share, what do you think? β€œ

The Jiang family naturally doesn't care about that small faΓ§ade, but if this faΓ§ade becomes a private stock, then the money will go into their own accounts, such a business, even if there is a risk, why not try it, it has become a way for their own family to make money, and if they lose money, even if they withdraw their shares, then they can take back the house, and they still don't care about their own consumption, so they agreed without hesitation.

Both parties were interested, and the agreement was signed on the same day.

When I came back, I went straight to my grandmother, and as soon as I entered my grandmother's yard, I saw Lin Zichen waiting in the yard, and when I saw my mother and sister coming back, I hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mother is well, how is today?" ”

Mother Lin nodded with a smile, pulled Lin Zichen to the house, and said as she walked, "The weather is so hot, why are you standing in the yard and going into the house." ”

Lin Zichen was a little disappointed, but he was still very happy, "Tell me how to order it, I'll just say that my sister won't need me at all as soon as she comes out." "I heard that my wife and daughter were back, so I also came to the old lady's room, and the family carefully studied the plans for the future.

Compared to the lonely struggle in the previous life, Moon Shadow really likes this feeling of solving problems together as a family, even in the face of difficulties, she is full of confidence.

Now that the shop has been ordered, the decoration, plaque, publicity and product production will begin.

The name was set by my grandmother as "Yuhua Pavilion", and my father said yes again and again, and promised that he would help the plaque inscription. The family is so lively.
