In the private room of the largest restaurant in the capital, Gu Fenghua was in a good mood, ordered a large table of dishes, and described to Mei Ying what happened to him in the Ruyi Building.

Seeing Mei Ying's sad face, Fenghua frowned and asked, "Am I not behaving well?" ”

"It's good, but it's shameful for them to arrange the young lady like this! If the young lady is wearing women's clothes today, it would be good to show their identities and let them die of shame! ”

"You don't understand that, do you?" Fenghua raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "What women are most afraid of is not losing face in front of women, but losing their image in front of men, especially handsome men." ”

"I see! High, really high, Miss is really a female Zhuge also! Mei Ying nodded like garlic.

Fenghua was happy, and began to eat a lot, and greeted Mei Ying: "It tastes really good, don't be stunned, start eating." ”

Mei Ying's face was embarrassed, and she hesitated for a long time, but she still spoke: "Miss, people say you are ugly, how can you still eat?" ”

Fenghua paused for his chopsticks and thought for a moment: "It's really not happy when I hear it, and they haven't seen me, why are they talking nonsense there?" But, Mei Ying, am I ugly? ”

Thankfully, Miss finally got to the point!

"Of course it's not ugly! No, it's not that it's not ugly, it's beautiful! You have forgotten the girls in Jiangnan who are so fascinated by you. ”

"Of course I know that I am very handsome when I dress up as a man, and men pay attention to bearing, and I am still good at this. I'm asking about being a woman. ”

Mei Ying was a little speechless, wondering if there was something wrong with her young lady's aesthetics.

"Miss, let's put it this way. You stand with Miss Xia, and you won't lose. ”

Xia Tingge is a handkerchief friend who grew up with him in Jiangnan, he was the first beauty in Jiangnan when he was in Jiangnan, and after returning to the capital, he became the first beauty in the capital.

Fenghua glanced at Mei Ying, put a roast goose leg into her bowl, and said with relief: "You are the protector of the Lord, I can understand and be moved." ”

Mei Ying was so angry that she wanted to drop her chopsticks.

"I have asked the shopkeeper of Ruyi Building to send the clothes and jewelry to the house, and when there is a banquet, I will help you dress up, and you will evaluate whether it looks good or not!"

"Done!" Looking at Mei Ying's blushing face, Fenghua hurriedly agreed.

Fenghua has visited many places in the capital today, but she is most interested in Ruyi Building.

She had already taken a fancy to the geographical location of the building at a glance, but then there was an "eavesdropping" incident, and she found that the clothing and jewelry business was simply an excellent business for collecting gossip.

So, she had an idea, it would be nice if she could buy Ruyi Building!

When he returned to Gu's mansion, he saw Mei Ying reconciling the accounts, and Fenghua looked at the amount.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, the cost of this day was more than the cost of a few months in Jiangnan.

It seems that the idea of buying Ruyi Building is very ridiculous, this eating, drinking, buying and buying are a little distressing, where is the silver to buy the first garment shop in Beijing?

Fenghua couldn't help but sigh: "The prices in this capital are really high!" ”

"Miss, you are not short of money. Just the No. 1 medicinal herb shop in Jiangnan that your wife married is enough for you to squander, not to mention the tea shop, silk shop and shops everywhere. ”

Fenghua's maternal ancestor is the Jiangnan businessman Jia and the wealthy Tang family, such a lintel is not worthy of the Gu family for generations, and the Gu family is the daughter of the Natang family who will be drowned in saliva as a concubine.

Fortunately, the Gu family has the rules of freedom of marriage and love, and the second elder of the Gu family is a parent who is not afraid of gossip, so it has fulfilled the love between General Gu and the only daughter of the Tang family.

At that time, the second elder also quipped: "When we are relieved of our heavy responsibilities, we still have to rely on outsiders to support us, my son is really good-looking." ”

Hearing his mother for no reason, he was in a trance for a moment, and muttered: "Although A-Niang is gone, she also protects me from time to time." ”

Mei Ying saw Fenghua's soulless appearance, and she couldn't wait to slap herself twice, which is really wrong.

After a while, Fenghua came back to his senses and remembered one thing, "By the way, I saw Anhetang where A-Niang married in the West Market, compared to the two big pharmacies in the East City, it is really a bit cold, how to say that we are also the No. 1 medicine store in the south of the Yangtze River, how did the phoenix become a pheasant in the capital?" ”

The most prosperous cities in the capital are the eastern and western cities, but the prosperity of these two places is different.

The shops in the East Market are very large, all of them are pavilions, the roads are very wide, and horse-drawn carriages come and go.

The West Market, on the other hand, is full of smoke and fire, with food stalls and small storefronts abounding, and there are more pedestrians on the streets.

Fenghua can also be seen, this is also the dividing line between aristocratic families and ordinary people.

"Yes, I saw that there were a lot of people queuing up in our pharmacy, but I heard the housekeeper say that our pharmacy in the capital treats the poor for free, and there is no input, so they all rely on Jiangnan to make up for the shortfall." Mei Ying replied.

Fenghua rolled his eyes, and said: "Then we can go to the East Market to open a pharmacy to make money, there are all high-ranking officials and nobles, and they spend a lot of money." ”

"Miss, you're too smart! Why don't I call the butler to come and tell you about the situation? ”

"Okay!"

When he heard the herb shop, Fenghua's ridiculous idea came out again: If Anhetang can grow into the first medicine store in the capital and make money every day, wouldn't there be a chance to buy Ruyi Building?

After a while, Uncle Sun, the housekeeper, arrived, "Miss, what do you want to know?" The old slave must know that he is not speechless, and his words are endless. ”

"Uncle Sun, I want to inquire about the situation of our pharmacy."

The young lady actually asked about the industry, and Uncle Sun was so excited that he almost burst into tears on the spot.

The Gu family is a military general, and they don't care about anything, and the industry in the capital has always been taken care of by Uncle Sun's family, although there has been no mistake, but the revenue is mediocre. After all, most of the retainers and ancestors were people who fought with the Gu family, and they didn't think too much about the fact of business.

Now, the young lady is also interested in the industry, and she must have inherited the business talent of the lady's family.

Thinking of this, Uncle Sun energetically followed Fenghua to introduce the situation of the pharmacy in detail.

It turns out that nine out of ten shops in Dongshi have a family aristocratic and even royal background, although Anhetang is the largest medicinal material business in the south of the Yangtze River, but the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and the Gu family has never been competitive in the business of the capital, so it has not become bigger.

It was Fenghua's mother's idea to open a pharmacy in the West Market to see a doctor for the poor for free, saying that the pharmacy could not make money in the capital, but it could gain some fame.

Now, after more than 20 years of hard work, many people in the capital are boasting of peace and benevolence.

It's just that due to losses every year, Anhetang lacks magic skills and can only cure the people's minor diseases. If he is seriously ill, the big guy still smashes the pot and sells iron to ask for the pharmacy in Dong City, so Anhetang does not have a resounding reputation.

Fenghua was a little frustrated, and then asked again: "If I marry into the palace and become the seventh princess, our Anhetang can be regarded as having a royal background, right?" ”

"That's right." Uncle Sun didn't know why, nodded and replied.

"In this way, in the future, we will open another Anhetang in Dongshi, and make Jiangnan No. 1 the No. 1 in Beijing!" Fenghua proposed with great interest.

Uncle Sun muttered in his heart: Miss is really still a member of the Gu family, and she is really upright. You must know that doing business is the most important thing to pay attention to, and the Gu family doesn't like this kind of thing the most. However, it doesn't matter, people will always grow up, and now there is more encouragement and encouragement.

After thinking about it, Uncle Sun echoed approvingly: "Miss is really so courageous! ”

In fact, in addition to making money, Fenghua hides a big selfish heart in his heart.

When she was in the Zhenxi Army, she observed that the medicinal materials in the army were very scarce, and Jiangnan Anhetang would replenish some of them every year, but if there was a war, this supply would not help.

If she can make a good living, so that An Hetang can make money in the capital, the Zhenxi Army will be more secure, and her brother can worry less about snacks in the army and protect himself.
