Emperor Wen died, the princes and grandsons kept filial piety for three months, and the people also had to serve the national mourning for three days.

After that, Gui Mingyue and Ji Yunlang pondered a batch of elegant and elegant head jewelry, and the materials were those different jade materials cut out by Hui Wa'er, as well as Miao Yin.

These seemingly simple and plain pieces of jewelry are actually very valuable, and people with a discerning eye can see the preciousness of them at a glance.

In addition to the jewelry shop, Gui Chengzhi handed over the original flower shop in Nanyang to Gui Jingxue, and he also opened a new flower shop to the capital of Bianliang.

So Gui Chengzhi and Gui Mingyue found a clean and quiet house in Bianliang and bought it, and the brother and sister moved in, and Yun Lang naturally came to Bianliang with his sister. Gui Chengqi finished his studies at the home school of the Shanghu General's Mansion and entered the stage of self-study, so it was naturally more convenient to come to Bianliang for next year's spring palace test.

In this way, three of the four children who returned home came to Bianliang, and the only one left, Gui Jingxue, was even more uncomfortable, so he had to grit his teeth and devote himself more to the business in the flower shop.

In the Angelica Pavilion in the capital, Mr. Liu is the shopkeeper, and the silver pendant is the account room. The rest of the guys and maids were personally selected and bought by Gui Mingyue.

When everything was ready, on an auspicious day of the zodiac, the Angelica Pavilion in Bianliang was opened.

Whoever would have thought that across the same street, the same larger jewelry shop opened at the same time.

Similarly, in various parts of the Great Eastern Dynasty, large and small jewelry shops were carried out at the same time.

And Gui Mingyue didn't have much trouble to find out that the owner of these shops was the Wu family.

"At first glance, it's aimed at us." Ji Yunlang was angry, he didn't expect this Wu Jingnan to do such a thing, I saw him and his eldest brother very well before, and thought he was a gentle and jade-like son, who knows......

Ji Yunlang went to the courtyard where his eldest brother Ji Yunyi was alone, and was told by the little maid at the gate of the mansion that the son was coming back, but he soon returned to the palace.

Yes, now the eldest brother is the most trusted and relied on person in front of the prince, where can he still stay in the other courtyard to enjoy flowers and drink tea as he did before.

However, he entered the palace for his sister at that time, and later he didn't know what happened to the two of them in the palace, since his sister came back, as long as he heard about him, he frowned and was displeased, so that he didn't dare to mention it again.

This time, he just wanted to ask if the Wu family had anything to do with the eldest brother by doing this.

Ji Yunlang returned to the shop and saw that there were a lot of customers, and the business was quite prosperous. Seeing that my sister's face was fine, I relieved myself.

When taking stock of the shop in the evening, Yin Shen'er put the account book in front of Gui Mingyue and said softly: "Miss, judging from today's business, the profit is still ......."

Gui Mingyue shook her head and said, "Judging from the benefits of the first day of opening, this kind of performance is indeed average. ”

It's only the first day, and Angelica Pavilion has not made a sensation, and there are so many powerful shops in the capital, and if it goes on like this, it will soon be buried.

Jin Qi'er couldn't help but complain: "This young master of the Wu family is really excessive! I think that day he personally went to our shop and asked the young lady for advice on how to make money, but the poor young lady also told everything sincerely for the sake of his classmates, and now he used what the young lady said to deal with us. ”

Gui Mingyue also recalled that time when he talked freely with Wu Jingnan, who looked like a humble gentleman, about his "earning women's money" theory in the shop, and he swore that day that he would not share a piece of the pie with himself in this business, but he didn't expect that today he would go against his promise back then. Gui Mingyue sneered, what about the first imperial merchant, if you want to fight, I will fight with you to the end.

It's just that before Angelica Pavilion took action, the Wu family's head shop on the opposite side took the lead, and they lowered the price of some crystal hairpin rings, which attracted waves of customers, plus the Wu family's momentum background, for two months, not to mention Angelica Pavilion, even several other shops in Bianliang City were full of doors.

Gui Mingyue summed up the current predicament of Angelica Pavilion, not that the style of the jewelry is not novel enough, the workmanship is not exquisite enough, nor is the material not outstanding enough, but the people in this Bianliang City, commonly known as the root of the imperial city, pay attention to the card with everything. As an imperial merchant, the Wu family's industry is salt industry, cloth, tea, and horses...... are among the best, and the reputation of the Wu family is also good.

In the words of the previous life, it is the brand utility, and Angelica Pavilion is one of the best brands in Nanyang County, but in this Kyoto, it is unknown compared to the Wu family products.

Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, Gui Mingyue decided to make a name for herself in this year.

The little maids Jin Qi'er and tortoiseshell have been busy handing posts to Miss Leng from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, Miss Su from the Qing Mansion of Honglu Temple, Miss Lin from the Guozi Jian Ji Restaurant, and the two Miss Mei of the Yin family of the Zhan Mansion.

Two days later, several young ladies came as scheduled, especially Lin Zhanmei, the first talented woman in the capital, Gui Mingyue didn't expect her to come, although she spent a period of time with her classmates, but because of her excellent grades, she sat in the front row, and the students who sat in the back row like herself have never been very compatible.

Seeing that she also came to the post, Gui Mingyue was really flattered in her heart.

"Miss Gui, your house is elegant." Mei Danxue, who has never liked to talk much, suddenly opened her mouth and praised.

"Yes, there is such a pure and elegant place in this Bianliang City, I don't even know, otherwise this treasure land will not be able to turn you Mingyue." Leng Bingxiang said with a hearty laugh.

"If you like my house, please come and play often." Gui Mingyue said with a smile.

"Good! No problem, Sister Xiang and I will definitely bother you every day. Su Tingwei said with a grin.

"Welcome!" Gui Mingyue said.

"You guy is finally willing to come to Bianliang, it was me and Ting Wei who went to Nanyang to find you before, and now we can get together often." Leng Bingxiang was also happy in her heart.

Mei Danxue, who was on the side, suddenly smiled, and said lightly: "It's a pity that Jingxue didn't come......"

After she said this, everyone stopped talking, Gui Mingyue knew that she and her eldest sister Gui Jingxue were the best, and explained at the moment: "The eldest sister is now going to take care of the flower business, and she came to Kyoto as a timeless doppelganger, but when the mother and the mother come in a few days, the eldest sister will also come to live with her for a few days, and then Miss Mei will be able to see the eldest sister." ”

"Oh," Mei Danxue said lightly, "I said that the four children who returned home, three of them all came to Kyoto, and only one unpopular remained in Nanyang." Since we will see it in a few days, I am looking forward to it. ”

"Miss Mei, what do you mean by this, Mingyue can still bully her sister." Su Tingwei couldn't help but ask unhappily.

"Light snow, don't talk nonsense, after all, this is someone else's family affair......" Mei Shuying also whispered to her sister.

Mei Danxue snorted softly, turned away, and didn't look at them, the letters from Jingxue that she had received in recent days were mostly the resentment of being excluded from the grievances, so that her friend couldn't fight for her.

Several girls were speechless for a while, Leng Bingxiang stood up first and said It's really boring!

"Mingyue, rest assured what you said, we will definitely help you. At that time, what good head jewelry will Angelica Pavilion have, although it will be sent to the house, it will also save us from giving the elders and juniors the New Year's gift. Besides, we really love the jewelry in the shop, I went to see it, and the jewelry in the famous Wu family shop is much more exquisite and novel! Leng Bingxiang said.

"That's true, Mingyue, don't worry, one day, the jewelry of Angelica Pavilion will be known and loved by the people in this Bianliang City." Su Tingwei was also comforted.

Mei Shuying also nodded, to say that the head of Angelica Pavilion is indeed first-class and good, and such a good head will become famous sooner or later.

Gui Mingyue was very grateful for their words, and after talking for a while, several young ladies said goodbye to Gui Mingyue's invitation to have dinner together, and went home one after another.

Lin Zhanmei, who had nothing to say, stayed until the end.

Seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, Gui Mingyue couldn't help asking: "Miss Lin, but what do you have to say to Mingyue?" ”

"Yes, I" Lin Zhan frowned for a while and said, "There is no problem with my side for the things entrusted by Miss, please rest assured." ”

Gui Mingyue said with a smile: "Then Mingyue thanked me first, besides, what else does Miss Lin have to say?" But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Lin Zhanmei looked at Gui Mingyue's clear eyes, finally gritted his teeth, and said: "I heard that when Miss Gui entered the palace, the eldest prince of the Marquis of Zhenguo did not hesitate to bow his head to the Marquis Ji in order to go to the palace together, just to protect the safety of the beauty......" Lin Zhanmei said this, and suddenly couldn't say any more, and finally tried to open his mouth and asked: "I don't know if the rumors are true or not, so I want to ask Miss Gui, and please Miss Gui Don't blame Zhan Mei's recklessness." ”

Gui Mingyue didn't expect Miss Lin, the reserved and proud first talent, to ask herself this, she was shocked for a while and didn't speak, and then looked at her crying appearance, it turned out that she was actually Ji Yunyi's admirer, Gui Mingyue actually felt a little weak and nervous in her heart, but she quickly coughed to cover up the past.

"Hey, the rumors, most of them are not credible, people are like this, if they don't arrange some of Miss Childe's romantic affairs, how can they spend a day after tea and dinner......" Gui Mingyue couldn't help but quip.

"Really?" Lin Zhanmei laughed at what she said, and couldn't help but ask again.

"That's natural, I have nothing to do with that eldest son, I didn't have it before, and I won't have it in the future!" Gui Mingyue said sonorously, the first half of the sentence was to comfort this weak and lovely Miss Lin, and the second half of the sentence was to herself.

There may have been a relationship with Ji Yunyi, but this love has passed, and he must not be immersed in it anymore, and then there is a lot of silver waiting for him to earn, and there are also a lot of beautiful men waiting for him to see, how can he have time to look back.
