"Ah Li, you are amazing! I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't just asked the housekeeper, but it's the regent! My mother said that the palace is a place to eat people, and there is no simple person in it!

What do you think, we, the children of the merchant family, have always been looked down upon by those official families, if you want to marry the prince, I am afraid that even the maids of the palace will have to bully you to death!

Really, the more I think about it, the more anxious it becomes, hurry up and get into the carriage, I'm going to give you a shop to suppress the shock! ”

The girl in front of her who talks a lot and is dense is the little Qingmei who grew up with Yuan Li, Wu Nianmo, the daughter of the Wu family.

It is mentioned in the original book that in this dynasty, the folk customs were more open, and women could also do business.

Born in a family of merchants, Wu Nianmo has been interested in and talented in business since he was a child.

"But Ah Li, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it's not entirely a bad thing for you to marry the regent, although the rumors of the regent are not very good, but the rumors have never been believed, people, you have to get along to know."

Seeing that Yuanli had been silent, Wu Nianmo thought she was unhappy, and hurriedly made amends.

"Besides, you are now the future princess regent, at least that Yuan Wan can't jump around at will anymore, I heard that she doesn't say bad things about you outside, and her mother is not a good thing, don't believe it every time I tell you."

"Since ancient times, it has been said that the fist of the late mother is the sun in the clouds. You're a stupid girl, you really treat those two as kisses! ”

Looking at Wu Nianmo's bitter expression, Yuan Li couldn't help but smile and said, "You can see more clearly than me." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not the same person I used to be, I know it. Let's talk about the shop. ”

Yuan Li thought very clearly, the reason why the regent was willing to marry her was nothing more than what she said last night, and getting married as soon as possible fulfilled the queen mother's wish, that is to say, the two of them just took the cooperative relationship they needed.

But for her, relying on this method to have multiple backers is the best choice at present, but it is not clear how far the regent can protect her in the future.

It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on the sky and the earth, and having money in your pocket is the last word!

Seeing that Yuanli seemed to have opened his mind, Wu Nianmo's eyes lit up, "Let me tell you, I've recently made a few good shops, and I'll take you to pick one you like later." But you have to accompany me to West Street first, there is a shop that I have to visit for my second uncle. ”

As he spoke, the carriage had already turned several corners, and Yuan Li clearly felt that it was far less lively outside than just now.

"You know, this West Street business has always been difficult to do, but a long time ago my second uncle accepted the favor of the shopkeeper of the grain shop, and now people are old and want to return to their hometowns, afraid that his shop will not be easy to sell in a short time, so the second uncle thought that I would take over the shop directly, and there will be a chance to sell it again in the future."

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Wu Nianmo pointed to the shop near the corner of West Street, "Let's take a brief look later, and then retreat." ”

Yuan Li nodded.

It's just that she didn't expect that when she got off the carriage, she was directly stunned.

Looking at the few big characters of Zhang Ji Grain Shop, she turned her head to look at the people around her, and said, "Momo, this capital ...... How many Zhang Ji grain shops are there? ”

"Just one," Wu Nianmo glanced at Yuanli, and saw that she was staring at the shop motionless, Wu Nianmo asked strangely: "Do you know here?" ”

Know!

How don't you know!

Yuan Li remembered that He Guang, a businessman who helped the second prince collect money outside in the original book, became an imperial businessman within half a year after taking over Zhang Ji Grain Shop.

At that time, the Yuan family was defeated, and when Yuan Li took over the mess, He Guang couldn't do anything to her in the name of borrowing money, and he deliberately found a few big households to specialize in the Yuan family's business! Thinking about it now, she was so angry for the original owner!

"You're a girl from the Wu family, right?"

A sixty-year-old man with half-white hair heard the voice and walked out of the shop, "Your second uncle sent someone to say that you will come today, I guess it's this time, who is this young lady?" ”

"Yuanli has met Uncle Zhang, I am a friend of Nianmo." Yuan Li stepped forward and saluted.

"Glass girl...... Your grandfather's family is the Bai family? Zhang Shen raised his hand and stroked the beard on his chin, and when he saw Yuan Li nodding, he immediately laughed loudly, "No wonder it looks so familiar, you girl looks really similar to your mother, when your mother was as old as you, she came to my shop with your grandmother." ”

"Uncle Zhang has seen my mother?" This made Yuanli a little surprised.

"Yes," Zhang Shen nodded, and sighed, "This time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, we will be ......old."

"Uncle Zhang, don't sigh, you will be able to go back to your hometown to tease your grandson soon, which is enviable!" Wu Nianmo hurriedly quipped, she can't talk anymore, she is still waiting to take Yuanli to choose a new shop!

"Look at my memory, come, I'll show you my shop, don't look at this place is a little biased, but my shop is really good, to be honest, this is going to be handed over to others, it's really a little reluctant."

Having said that, but after following Zhang Shen into the shop and taking a look, Wu Nianmo was not very interested.

It looks like it's just an ordinary shop, but fortunately, there has been no damage over the years, and it shouldn't be difficult to sell it.

"By the way, Uncle Zhang, my second uncle said that he has talked to you about the price of this shop, are you still satisfied?"

Zhang Shen, who was carefully introducing the shop to the two, waved his hand, "Oh, the price or something, your second uncle won't let my old man suffer!" ”

"That's okay, then we'll leave first, I'll get the contract right when I go back, and I'll send someone to you tomorrow, what do you think?" Seeing that the hour was almost up, Wu Nianmo was ready to pull Yuan Li away.

"Okay, okay, but girl, I still have a yard behind here, why don't you take a look?"

Wu Nianmo waved his hand, "No, no, we ......"

Seeing that Yuanli didn't react for a long time, and had been looking at the shop seriously with inquiring eyes, Wu Nianmo pulled her sleeve, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Ah Li, you're not interested in this shop, are you?" Oh, this shop is too small and broken, and the security in this area is not good, I heard that there were thieves in this vicinity many years ago, and even the palace guards didn't catch it, how scary! Don't you can't think about it, I'll give you a bigger and better shop later, you ......"

Thieves? Palace?

Before Wu Nianmo finished speaking, Yuan Li's eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay!" She squeezed her eyes at Wu Nianmo, "Nianmo, let's go to the back with Uncle Zhang to have a look." ”

She was too curious, such a simple grain shop, how could He Guang suddenly make a fortune in such a short period of time after taking over, and still become an imperial businessman and have a relationship with the royal family?

The He family has been in business before, so it is absolutely impossible to be strange in business, the only possibility is that there is something wrong with this shop! Hearing Wu Nianmo's words just now, she was even more convinced of her conjecture!
