First there were three Chunhui, and then there was the crown of light gold, and the reputation of Angelica Pavilion spread throughout Nanyang County.

Not only the ladies and wives of wealthy official families have become frequent visitors to Angelica Pavilion, but even the girls who have cloud buildings and red sleeves have asked people to inquire.

Of course, the wealth fan Gui Mingyue didn't want to miss the business in these places, but the Yu family finally felt that it was inappropriate, if the girls who hugged the cloud building and the red sleeves came to the door, then those serious ladies and wives would inevitably have pimples, and the Yu family was afraid that the business of Angelica Pavilion would outweigh the losses.

"Mother, leave everything to me, you just need to expand the scale of the workshop" because the business of Angelica Pavilion is becoming more and more in short supply. At present, the cousin of the Yu family is just about to live at home, and Gui Mingyue of course wants to make the best use of it, so now Gui Jingxue went to him to teach some experience to the craftsmen.

"Why did you let me go?" Gui Jingxue asked suspiciously.

Gui Mingyue said with a smile: "Of course you have to ask for a beauty, my cousin has face, you are a beauty in our family, who will go if you don't go?" "Although the Yu family's unique skills are not passed on to outsiders, as long as Cousin Hong Bo points out a few of his own craftsmen, he will benefit a lot.

Gui Jingxue looked at the hippie smiling Gui Mingyue helplessly, looked at it, pinched her fleshy chin, and said, "It's the same!" ”

……

Gui Mingyue ordered the shops on both sides of the Angelica Pavilion and prepared for large-scale expansion. Most of the days have to go to the clan's school, even if Gui Mingyue is an iron body, she can't help but be a little tired.

"Mingyue Mingyue, I heard that the Feifeng Qingluan sisters who embrace the cloud building have already set off for Beijing. I wonder what will happen to them on this trip? Su Tingwei whispered to the listless Gui Mingyue beside her.

"Oh"

"Mingyue Mingyue, did the two of them really give you a thousand gold later?"

"Hmm" 1,000 gold and 10,000 taels of silver tickets, gave Yu Hongbo 6,000 taels, and the remaining 4,000 taels of mothers let themselves be in charge.

Thinking about the stack of silver tickets in his small vault, Gui Mingyue felt that his limbs were full of vitality again.

He sat up slightly straighter and muttered to Su Tingwei.

"Huh? Is your Angelica Pavilion really going to do business with those people? Su Tingwei asked incredulously.

Gui Mingyue nodded.

"You really want to do business with the girl in the Qinglou!" Su Tingwei was surprised and didn't control her voice. So much so that the master and the other students all stopped and looked at Su Tingwei one after another.

The woman in the green house? The students were curious

Ahem, Gui Mingyue pretended to pick up the pen and wrote something on the rice paper......

Su Tingwei was ashamed to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Su Zixie glared at the two of them fiercely, it was really embarrassing!

Wu Jingnan, who was sitting in the front row, focused on the three words of business, and looked at them thoughtfully.

The speed of the rise of this homecoming business is really amazing, and in just half a year, Hu Bugui and Angelica Pavilion have achieved such a point.

On the other hand, the Wu family, although in terms of power and accumulated wealth, is far beyond the two shops of returning home. However, at present, the Wu family's business is in a bottleneck period of no profit or loss, and several large merchant families are staring at each other, if the Wu family does not break through, I am afraid that it will go downhill.

After school, Gui Mingyue got into the carriage first to go to Angelica Pavilion, and Gui Jingxue and Gui Chengqi prepared to return to their home in Yu Village.

"Second Miss Gui, can Jing Nan go with me and go to Angelica Pavilion to sit for a while?" Wu Jingnan's carriage drove over from the other side, and Wu Jingnan in the car said in a voice.

Gui Chengqi, who was about to get on the horse, heard this, and immediately came down and looked at Wu Jingnan vigilantly. After talking to the little girl, he followed Gui Mingyue's carriage.

Seeing this, Gui Mingyue couldn't help but smile speechlessly. patted his younger brother on the head and asked, "You don't have to review your homework today?" ”

Seeing the second sister's behavior towards herself and a three-year-old child, Gui Chengqi couldn't help but complain in shame: "Second sister, I'm an adult, don't pat me on the head." ”

"Adult, still doing such childish behavior?" Gui Mingyue refers to his move to follow him into the car.

Gui Chengqi was unconvinced and said, "I can see that Wu Jingnan must have bad intentions towards you, and he has been peeking at you several times!" ”

Poof, Gui Mingyue was amused by him and said, "Are you hating others because he is better than you in schoolwork?" ”

"Cut, I've already surpassed him now, and the master also praises me, so the second sister naturally doesn't know that she is always distracted in class." Gui Chengqi said proudly.

Her younger brother is really good, and he is willing to work hard, but he is heavy-minded, because of the eldest brother's incident, he was burdened with a heavy burden at a young age. Gui Mingyue couldn't help but sigh.

When they arrived at Angelica Pavilion, everyone got out of the car, and Wu Jingnan walked in calmly and generously under the defensive gaze of Gui Chengqi.

After sitting down, Wu Jingnan slowly spoke, "Forgive Jingnan for being presumptuous, this Angelica Pavilion is going to be expanded?" ”

Gui Mingyue said yes.

Wu Jingnan didn't say anything more, just slowly looked at the furnishings of the Angelica Pavilion.

"Young Master Wu, why don't you say it if you have something to say." Gui Mingyue had to say again.

"yes, you have something to say, we still have to do business." Gui Chengqi said impatiently.

Wu Jingnan looked at Gui Cheng Qi and smiled gently: "Jing Nan has no malicious intentions, just came out of curiosity. ”

Curious about what, what do you say, Gui Mingyue is very speechless to people like Wu Jingnan who speak vaguely and tortuously.

Wu Jingnan was also very helpless, he couldn't come in and asked directly, I want to know what the hell you have to expand Angelica Pavilion? I just want to learn from it......

In the end, the three of them stared at each other for a long time, and Gui Mingyue was such a transparent person, so he immediately asked: "Young Master Wu is planning to open a noodle shop in Nanyang County or Bianliang City?" ”

Wu Jingnan hurriedly shook her head this time and said: "The Wu family has no plans to do jewelry business at present, and it should not be done in the future." "The Wu family's industry has become so complex that they don't want to get another piece of the jewellery business that they are not familiar with.

Gui Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, her face became more and more kind, and she said, "Then you are really curious?" ”

Wu Jingnan smiled and nodded.

"The flowers that we don't return to and the jewelry of Angelica Pavilion are, to put it bluntly, to earn women's silver." Gui Mingyue talked slowly.

"Earn a woman's money?"

"Yes, most of the people who make money in this world are men, and they rarely have the leisure to spend money, they either spend their time on competing for fame and fortune, or on marrying a few more beautiful women, and of course, they occasionally go to places like Yongyun Tower to spend."

Gui Mingyue took a sip of tea, and then said, "However, most of their silver is still spent on the family's dependents, and there is no need to say much about the food and clothing of this family." In this world, men have good colors since ancient times, and women are pleasing to themselves, which is why I opened this flower shop and jewelry shop. ”

Wu Jingnan thought about it carefully and said: "In this case, this rouge gouache and cloth ready-to-wear clothes can also add women's colors, why did Miss Gui Er choose flowers and jewelry?" ”

"The reason for doing a flower shop is that in the entire Dadong Dynasty, this kind of business is rare, and we have seized the opportunity by doing it first; This Angelica Pavilion is naturally what I am good at...... "Of course, Gui Mingyue would not be stupid to say that he can improve the quality of jewelry.

"As for why we don't do a few other things, one is because there are too many peers who have done these things well, and the other is that the current situation of my return home is not enough to support us to have too much wealth." There is no one in the family to be an official in the court, so there is less concealment, and after the family is separated, the people are still thin. At present, you can only be a little rich, and if you are rich, you are most afraid of being targeted by people with a heart, and you have no backing to rely on.

Wu Jingnan was surprised that Gui Mingyue had such an opinion at a young age, calm, rational and thorough, which made Wu Jingnan have to re-examine the second miss in front of her.

"What if, our Wu family, is willing to become the 'momentum' behind you?" Wu Jingnan asked again.

Gui Mingyue pondered for a while, raised her head and said: "Young Master Wu's kindness, we understand it, but compared with the Wu family's business, our family's two shops are really trivial, and it is not worth Young Master Wu's trouble." ”

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and Gui Mingyue doesn't want to be controlled by others. After returning home, instead of pinning hopes on the Wu family, it is better to place hopes and commitments. Cheng Qi is talented, intelligent and diligent, and he will definitely take the road of career in the future.

Gui Chengqi listened to the words of the second sister on the side, and understood his mission and responsibility better, and secretly swore in his heart that he would not let the second sister down.

In the following days, the expansion of Angelica Pavilion was slowly completed, and there was twice as much space at once. Gui Mingyue divided Angelica Pavilion into three independent shops. The first two are located in the front yard along the street, named Roselle and Demon Xian respectively. There is also a private room located in the backyard, which is luxuriously furnished and warm, and there are four words written on the door of the private room: private custom.

The day before the reopening of Angelica Pavilion, Gui Mingyue specially sent invitations to several girls who hugged Yunlou and the red sleeves.

On the opening day, my cousin Yu Hongbo also came to help, and returned to the same classmates in the school, Su Tingwei, Leng Bingxiang, Liu Huanting, and Lu Yanran...... When everyone came, Wu Jingnan, as a man, entered the Angelica Pavilion without any twist. In addition, there are some young ladies and wives of dignitaries in the county, who were also frequent visitors to Angelica Pavilion before.

Hongyu, Yiren, and Ripples of the Red Sleeve Move, who hugged the cloud building, arrived one after another, and then the clever and delicate female guys in the store led into the demon shop, and the other ladies and ladies all led into the Luo Shen shop.

Mrs. Xiang, the current Fu Yin, the eldest wife and concubines of the salt merchant Han Yuanwai, and a few reserved and dignified ladies couldn't help frowning when they saw Hongyu, and asked Xiang Gui Mingyue to the lady: "Second Miss Gui, why did those Qinglou women come here too?" ”

"Yes, if we want to wear the same ornaments as those women, we will never be able to come to your Angelica Pavilion again in the future." The other lady was also very displeased, and made a gesture to leave.

Gui Mingyue stepped forward quickly, and said with a smile: "Ladies, young ladies, and calm your anger first, it's not too late to listen to my words and then decide, first of all, our Angelica Pavilion is now three shops......"

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Xiang asked puzzled.

"These three shops, one is where we are now in the Luo Shen shop, the jewelry hairpin ring here is the most novel style at the moment, not limited to noble and generous, or elegant and elegant, the price is also appropriate, you guests and choose their favorite from among them; We also have a private room in the backyard, which is specially tailored for our guests, and the price is naturally higher......"

When the ladies and ladies heard this, they all nodded, the settings of these two places are also suitable, but there is another one, look at the sign on it with the word demon and leisure, is it specially prepared for those Qinglou women? It's very uncomfortable.

Gui Mingyue seemed to guess what they thought, and then said, "As for the other demon leisure, the poem has cloud beauty and demon leisure, and this shop is set up for those beautiful sisters. Gui Mingyue smiled sweetly, her voice was crisp, and her face was not red and her heart was not beating when she said the words of the beautiful sister, but the ladies and ladies were a little shy, and they couldn't help but secretly think that they were beautiful sisters, right?

In the Book of Poetry, it is said that the beauty and the demon are idle, and it turned out to be for a bewitching and leisurely woman. These Qinglou women are thick-skinned, and they dare to call themselves demon beauties, hum!

"Madame, I ...... I also want to go to the demon shop. "It's the little concubine who speaks, Han Yuanwai is famous for being lustful, and recently she has been obsessed with the ripple girl with red sleeves, so this little concubine is very unconvinced, and she wants to see what the jewelry head used by this demon beauty looks like.

In fact, after Gui Mingyue said this, it aroused the competitiveness of several young ladies and wives, but they all had no words because of their identity, and since this little concubine had mentioned it, everyone sent her to find out.

A few days later, Gui Mingyue, who had left school, leaned on the rocking chair at the door of Angelica Pavilion and chatted with Su Tingwei without a word.

Su Tingwei saw the three shopkeepers of the three shops, all of them were busy, especially the demon shop, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "I remember that on the day of the opening, there were only three or three of these demon shops, why are there so many people now, and these ladies and ladies can still pull down their children and be in the same shop with those women in the green building." This, this seems to be more beautiful. ”

That's natural, what woman is willing to admit that others are more beautiful than herself. Gui Mingyue smiled and took a piece of rose cake.

"I heard my mother and my sisters-in-law secretly scold these Qinglou women at home for being fox spirits." Su Tingwei also took a piece and put it in her mouth, smashed it, smashed it, and continued.

"I remember there was a saying that women hate vixens, but as long as they have the opportunity to try, there is no one who is not eager to try." Gui Mingyue took a sip of tea and said with emotion.
