Chapter 2148 Time is Money

After a moment's hesitation, Shu Yu stood up. "In that case, why don't we go take a look at the shop first?"

Cen Yi was taken aback, and subconsciously stood up as well, asking in surprise, "Shall we go see it now?"

Shu Yu had a "that's only natural" expression on her face. "Time is money. The sooner we finish the consultation, the sooner we can complete the transaction. I think Mrs. Zhou probably wants to see a doctor as soon as possible."

Cen Yi nodded immediately, "Okay, let's go then."

Without further delay, the group set off immediately. Shu Yu even went back to her room to put away the silver notes, intending to buy them on the spot if they were suitable.

Upon exiting the gate, Cen Yi was immediately helped into the carriage by the nanny.

Shu Yu was a step too slow, and immediately turned to look at the corner. Ying Xi also looked over, and the two exchanged a glance.

Seeing that the two of them had stopped, Madam Hou asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Shu Yu shook her head and said nothing.

Sure enough, someone was watching Cen Yi. I wonder who has such a deep grudge against her that they'd follow her everywhere she goes.

She suppressed her inner thoughts and quickly boarded the carriage.

Lady Hou went along as well; she rarely went out. As a concubine, the wives of the main wives disdained to associate with her. As for the concubines of other households, they had even less right to leave the mansion at will.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the Hou family rarely left the Wan household. Their greatest pastime was having people inquire about the gossip and rumors circulating in the capital, just to enjoy the excitement.

Now that she finally had the chance, she naturally wanted to join in the fun.

The group was traveling in the same carriage, which was very quiet.

Before long, we arrived at Futai Street. As soon as we entered the street, we were greeted by a cacophony of noise.

Hou lifted the carriage curtain and whispered, "It's really lively here." If Ayu's shop were located here, it would definitely make money without any surprises.

Shu Yu wandered around Futai Street, and she even knew where the cosmetics shop Cen Yi had mentioned was.

"We've arrived." After visiting only three or four shops, we reached Cen Yi's shop.

From the outside, the shop is quite large, two stories high, and exquisitely decorated. It's clearly targeting a high-end market.

Ordinary people, at least, wouldn't dare to step into such a shop if they passed by its entrance.

Shu Yu glanced at the doorway twice before following Cen Yi inside.

Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the shop was much quieter inside. There was only one customer looking around, and he didn't seem particularly interested in buying rouge.

Upon seeing them enter, the shopkeeper immediately came over to greet them, but was taken aback when he realized it was the owner.

Cen Yi waved her hand, "Go ahead and do your work, I'll bring my friend over to take a look."

"Okay, boss."

After the shopkeeper left, Cen Yi led Shu Yu to the backyard.

The layout of the shops in front was easy to see, and Shu Yu quickly finished looking at them. The group then went to the backyard and found that it was quite large as well.

There is such a shop on Futai Street, which shows that the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion was indeed very prestigious back then.

Shu Yu took a walk around the backyard. Everything else was fine. The backyard was beautifully renovated, with five or six rooms and a well in the middle of the yard, which was very convenient.

The kitchen and toilet were very clean and quite large.

The only thing that Shu Yu wasn't entirely satisfied with was the warehouse; it was too small.

However, cosmetics and face powder do not take up much space, some cannot be stored for long, and there is not much stock.

If possible, the adjacent room should be connected so that the storeroom is large enough for them to store their things.
