Chapter 50 The landlord's wife's new shop
Liu Yunyi was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only slow down his movements and carefully leave the room through the gap between the chaise longue and the door.
Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, except for her parents, she has never met someone like Mingyue who protects her wholeheartedly and treats her well.
Classmates meet each other, friends depend on fate, colleagues are more competitive, and it's good not to intrigue.
How fortunate I was to be able to meet such a stupid girl as Mingyue......
Liu Yunyi sighed, took off her coat and covered Mingyue, and then motioned for Xia Ju to go to the outer courtyard with her, and brought Mingyue to the door, so that Mingyue could have a good rest.
At the same time, Liu Yunyi also has a new plan in his heart - now that there is no shortage of silver, and the store has been obtained, the next step is to cultivate a few people who can take advantage of it.
On the one hand, it is for the convenience of doing things, and on the other hand, Mingyue's worries are indeed possible, and she needs someone to protect her safety.
It's just that she first came to ancient times, and it was only three or five days since she returned to Beijing, and her foundation was still shallow.
"Xia Ju, I have to go out later, Mingyue didn't rest well last night, you wait for her to wake up and prepare some food for her, don't make her hungry."
Xia Ju was stunned: "Miss, are you planning to go out alone?" Never! ”
"No problem." Liu Yunyi smiled, and while dipping the cloth towel into the basin, he said: "I have experienced a lot of things in the past two months, and I will naturally grow more eyes when I go out, no problem." ”
"That's not appropriate......" Xia Ju wanted to say something more, but Liu Yunyi had already made up her mind, and interrupted her with a wave of her hand.
Xia Ju froze, but her eyes were still fixed on Liu Yunyi, gritting her teeth and thinking for a moment, she actually knelt down towards Liu Yunyi violently.
"Miss......"
"Xia Ju, what are you?"
Xia Ju raised her face and said seriously: "Third Miss, Xia Ju will follow Third Miss in the future, I hope Third Miss can trust me." ”
Why did this girl suddenly show her loyalty?
Liu Yunyi raised his eyebrows slightly, and then threw the handkerchief back into the basin, but did not reply, but took out a can of facial fat from his arms and smeared it on his face.
Not...... I'm still not used to it after so many days, it's too oily.
Xia Ju bit her lip tightly, knowing in her heart that Liu Yun was waiting for her to say something. After all, she was originally Zhao Yuanyuan's person, even if Chunlian helped Liu Yunyi in the matter, she could take what she needed, and Liu Yunyi had no reason to trust her.
"Actually, I don't want to hide it, Miss, I originally planned to leave yesterday evening. I help Miss except for Chunlian, I naturally can't go back to the eldest lady's side, and the young lady must be wary of me, this Liufu can be said to have almost no place for me. ”
"You know your situation very well." Liu Yunyi really doesn't trust her, and he still doesn't trust her even now.
Xia Ju continued: "But I saw Miss save the day several times yesterday, and finally won back a city from the eldest lady, not only seeking justice for herself, but also getting what she wanted, I am impressed by Miss's wisdom and bravery, I think Miss is a person worth following!" ”
Liu Yunyi couldn't cry or laugh: "You also think too highly of me, I just borrowed the power of the county lord of Chang'an, without her help, I can't do anything." ”
Xia Ju was unmoved, but looked at Liu Yunyi fixedly, and said with a smile: "This is also the ability of the third lady, isn't it?" ”
"Haha, just count you smart." Liu Yun was happy, "In that case, you can continue to stay in my courtyard, but you can also see, there are not many people in my courtyard......"
"Slaves and maids are subordinates, and they should do some work." Xia Ju stubble.
Liu Yunyi nodded, expressing satisfaction.
But what I thought in my heart was another - Xia Ju is not like Mingyue, she pays attention to interests, so this person can be used but must not be trusted.
However, without a Xia Ju, Zhao Yuanyuan may throw another Qiu Ju over there, and there is no need to waste time in this regard. After all, she has more important things waiting for her to do.
After eating, Liu Yunyi counted all the large boxes of things in the house.
Feng Qingwu's visit this time is undoubtedly a send-off in the snow.
She has no working capital when she has a new store, so Zhao Yuanyuan will naturally not be very kind, and this gold and silver really solves her urgent need.
However, Liu Yunyi is not an insatiable person, she owes Feng Qingwu a favor, she remembers it in her heart, and in the future, whenever there is any cosmetics or the like, she will be the first to send it to Feng Qingwu, and she will work hard to repay it.
As for Feng Chengqian's gold, silver and jewelry, although in the name of apology, she couldn't accept it with peace of mind.
She didn't dare to forget, that lord had secrets all over her body, and when she had the confidence to gain a firm foothold in the capital, she would definitely find a way to break the marriage contract with him. At that time, all these things will naturally have to be returned to him, so that she doesn't owe him anything!
But the current situation is special, and I can only borrow some first......
Subsequently, Liu Yunyi went to Liu Changting's room to find a set of men's clothes.
Her body is thin and thin, although she is seventeen years old, she is not fully developed, and her wide men's clothes are almost impossible to see the curves on her body, just a thin teenager.
Then use an eyebrow pencil to draw a little straight thick eyebrows, and use powder to sweep the complexion darker, this disguise is completely enough to deal with outsiders.
Liu Yunyi went to the backyard with this face, threw some broken silver for the little guy, and sent him to prepare the carriage.
Coincidentally, Mama Zhang also came.
"The eldest lady is going to Butterfly Love, prepare the carriage and wait at the front door."
Another little guy hurriedly responded.
Mama Zhang naturally saw Liu Yunyi, and when she saw Liu Yunyi dressed like this, her face suddenly sank, and she said in a strange manner: "The third lady is going out again today?" Could it be that you have forgotten that you went out a few days ago and was almost disliked by His Royal Highness King Cheng? I think it's better for the third lady to stay in the house. ”
This old woman is really lenient!
Liu Yunyi secretly scolded his mother in his heart, but his face was still smiling, and he said coquettishly: "That's not possible, I have to go out today, I have to take a good look at the Dream Weaving House left for me by my mother!" ”
Weaving Dream House is a scar in Zhao Yuanyuan's heart, Liu Yunyi mentioned it proudly, and Mama Zhang was suddenly choked up.
Naturally, the woman in the boudoir can't show her head often, but the weaving dream house has now become the third lady's bag, and it seems reasonable for her to go out to see the store.
Mama Zhang pinched the hem of her sleeves, and could only mumble: "But the third lady has made such a dress, don't be self-defeating and lose the face of our Liu family......"
"It turns out that Mama Zhang is also surnamed Liu? I always thought that Mama Zhang, your surname is Zhang! ”
"You ......" Mama Zhang glared angrily.
Liu Yunyi said again: "No matter what, thank you Mama Zhang for your concern, but my face has already been lost in front of Prince Cheng!" ”
If you want to settle the account, go to King Cheng to settle the account, anyway, she is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes!
The words fell, and sure enough, Mama Zhang was already speechless, probably because she didn't expect Liu Yunyi to be so arrogant.
Liu Yunyi was in a good mood, and she didn't care about Mama Zhang, so she walked away from the back door in her carriage.
The carriage went straight to Suzaku Street.
Suzaku Street is one of the richest streets in the capital, and it is very lively under the blue sky and white day.
But the location of Dream Weaving is not good, only located at the mouth of the alley on the corner of the street.
The Song family has a good business acumen, so it should not be possible to choose such an embarrassing territory, I think it is due to the reconstruction of the city in the past ten years.
However, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, this Suzaku Street is the most expensive in the whole capital, and it is also one of the streets with the most rich people, and this shop alone is worth a lot of money, so it is no wonder that Zhao Yuanyuan will be reluctant.
Liu Yunyi knew that the reason why Zhao Yuanyuan was reluctant to give her a shop should be largely due to her weak heart, afraid that she would think about the property left by her grandfather's family. Although Zhao Yuanyuan has changed most of the industries, if she gets to the bottom of it, the Liu family will always be unreasonable.
"Third Miss, it's here." The coachman shouted, and the carriage stopped.
Liu Yunyi felt the noise of pedestrians around him, slowly opened his eyes, opened the door curtain and looked out, and saw Weaving Dream Residence at a glance.
Dream Weaving House is a real spice shop, from the decoration outside the store to the furnishings in the store, everything is related to spices. Even as soon as Liu Yunyi jumped out of the carriage, he smelled the strong fragrance coming from the store.
Not...... Slightly pungent......
The sense of anticipation dissipated a little, and Liu Yunyi strode towards the store.
When you enter the store, the smell in the store is even stronger, and the smell of various spices mixed together is not good.
The store is larger than the original owner's impression, and the decoration is a little old. But soon Liu Yunyi understood that he was willing - it was not that the original owner's impression was wrong, but that there were fewer shelves in the store, making the store look empty and big.
It can be seen that Zhao Yuanyuan is really not lying about this, and the business of Weaving Dream House is really not very good.
There were only two people in the store, the old man was behind the counter to read the accounts, and the young man was sorting out the goods.
Liu Yunyi occupied the store for a while, and then the guy came over and asked, "This son is here to buy spices?" ”
It's too slow!
Liu Yunyi secretly criticized in his heart, but directly took out the title deed of the store from his arms and handed it to the counter.
The shopkeeper, who had been immersed in settling accounts, finally raised his head and looked at Liu Yunyi in a panic.
"Three, three......" He obviously also knew that Weaving Dream House was already Liu Yunyi's, but Liu Yunyi was the third lady of the Liu family, how could he be a delicate son?
"It's me." Liu Yunyi opened his mouth.
The voice of the daughter's family was clear and crisp, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly moved out from behind the counter, dragged the young man, and made a long gesture at Liu Yunyi.
"I've seen Miss Three, but I don't know if Miss Three is coming to meet ......"
Liu Yunyi directly interrupted him: "Needless to say polite words, you know that this store will be under my management from today onwards." As for the account book, I don't have to look at it, you just tell me how much surplus this store can have every month. ”
"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper's mouth responded, but he couldn't help but underestimate Liu Yunyi in his heart.
Miss Dudao is a straw bag, and it is true, I don't know what method she made to get to this shop, but she can't even read the account book, how to run the Dream Weaving House?
"Miss Huisan, after deducting the cost every month, there is a surplus of more than eighty taels."
"How many regular customers are in the store?"
"Many, let's do business for a long time, the time-honored brand has a reputation, and they are all repeat customers."
"Who are the customers?"
"This ...... Most of them are nobles and officials, buying incense and going back to smoke and dye clothes, making show bags and so on. ”
