Su Cao inspected the situation on the spot, every inch of land on South Street is expensive, the shop surface will not be very large, and the shop that sells pen, ink, paper, inkstone and rouge gouache is already a big shop on South Street.

  In the courtyard and on the second floor behind these shops live the shopkeepers and men in the shops.

  "Enough!"

  Su Cao told Qin Yuanqing about his plan: "I want to enclose part of the backyard, and then, like the teahouse over there, use the second floor, open up two shops, and then make reasonable use of the upper second floor, so that the shops in Zhuhuhui are big enough to fit all the goods." ”

  Qin Yuanqing thought about it for her: "Where do the shopkeepers and guys of Zhuhuhui live?" ”

  "Isn't there still a part of the backyard?"

  Su Cao discussed with Qin Yuanqing: "Brother, don't you know, Zhang San opened Zhuhuhui in Mingzhu Town, I came up with an idea with him, and the selection of goods is self-selected, so in fact, there is no need to hire too many guys, although Zhuhuhui merges two shops, and even uses the place on the second floor, but the guys used are less than half of the rouge gouache shop." ”

  Qin Yuanqing's eyes lit up, and he looked at Su Cao in surprise: "Generally, those who can afford to visit the shops on South Street are either rich or expensive, but there is no one who is not long-sighted, and the governance of the capital is extremely strict, and there is the support of our Qin family behind the shop, this idea can really work." ”

  "I'll go talk to the shop in a while and ask them to move out as soon as possible, so I don't have to pay this month's rent. Then I will help you find decoration, try to complete it before the year, and strive to open the shop before and after the Lantern Festival. ”

  Su Cao asked him: "The shop is rented to me, how can I calculate the rent?" ”

  "Silly!"

  Qin Yuanqing said helplessly: "Second brother's things, you can use them casually, and my grandmother can't spare me if I still collect your rent." ”

  "Brother, you don't charge rent, but I don't want to tell the truth, the Qin family has a big business, I'm afraid that some people will think that I came back to take advantage of the family property and seek to seize the family property."

  Su Cao discussed with him: "Is this good, you don't charge rent, you buy a share of the shop, and then leave all the decoration matters to you, I only take care of the drawings and supervision." ”

  The person he wanted to spoil turned out to be afraid of taking advantage of him.

  His brother really failed.

  Qin Yuanqing knew her temperament, and there was no way to take such Su Cao, so he had to nod his head: "Okay, do what you say, and leave the decoration to the second brother." ”

  Chinese New Year's Eve was approaching, and the little prince in the Chonghua Palace withdrew his subordinates and sat in front of the fire yawning boringly.

  At this time, the window shook slightly, and there was a dark shadow in the hall.

  "The national teacher is finally here!"

  The little prince got up excitedly: "You have been accompanying your father to a banquet for the past few days, and you are a soldier who has returned to Beijing as a reward, and you haven't been to Chonghua Palace for several days, can you tell me how my sister is doing?" ”

  "The Zhuhuhui on the edge of the Pearl Square on South Street has been decorated, and the last batch of merchant ships of the Yuan family will arrive in the capital tomorrow, and as soon as the goods from Xinghua Village arrive, the shops will be able to open before and after the Lantern Festival."

  "There are fifteen days left in the Lantern Festival, and I feel that every day without my sister is very long."

  The little prince took a pen and hooked the date on the paper: "The little master likes that my sister's shop can be opened before the Lantern Festival, so that when I go to Prince Gong's mansion on the day of the Lantern Festival, I can go shopping to see my sister in the private room of Pearl Fang." ”

  Ji Mo should get off him: "Okay, I'll let the girl tell the girl to open the shop before the Lantern Festival." ”

  The little prince was still worried: "There is one more thing, will the Lord of Linghui invite my sister to her birthday banquet?" ”
