Chapter 28: Full of Business Knowledge

Fu Danjun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yunjin is extremely valuable, and these wealthy people are really willing to spend it."

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "A beautiful lady named Xia came to Kyoto and bought some brocade from our shop. As soon as she wore it, it caused a sensation. All the powerful ladies and ladies began to imitate her."

Fu Danjun immediately thought of his own weaving workshop and said with a smile, "I'll send a few pieces back to my brother first and let him produce them in his own weaving workshop. As the shopkeeper, you can go out and buy up all the Yunjin at a high price, then sell it at a higher price."

The shopkeeper agreed but was horrified: "Young lady, you really have a talent for business. You can buy low and sell high and make a lot of money!"

Fu Danjun smiled and said, "When we can weave it ourselves and monopolize the supply, that's when we can really make money."

After leaving the cloth shop, Fu Danjun went to another store.

Lan Fang was inspired by Yunjin and said with a smile: "Let's find more beauties and have them wear our fabrics. Then we can create a sensation. Wouldn't we make a fortune this way?"

Fu Danjun couldn't stop laughing: "Silly girl, you're acting so recklessly after just learning the basics."

Lan Fang was very surprised: "How can this be nonsense?"

Fu Danjun explained with a smile: "If we hire beautiful women to promote our products, other businesses will follow suit. You hire them, I hire them, but in the end, everyone gets tired of it. Is there any effect?"

Lan Fang suddenly understood and said with a smile: "Yes, why didn't I think of that?"

Fu Danjun continued with a smile: "You can only use the same trick twice at most. If you use it more than that, it will be useless."

Lan Fang couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Miss, you are so smart."

After inspecting the two stores, Fu Danjun was tired.

I went to the street with Lan Fang to buy some food and prepare to take a bus home.

As the carriage passed the entrance of the alley, it heard a lot of shouting and yelling outside.

Fu Danjun lifted the car curtain and saw a dozen people chasing a ragged little kid, shouting and calling for killing.

The child ran as fast as he could, but unfortunately he fell to the ground without paying attention.

These people surrounded him and beat him up, causing Fu Danjun to watch unbearably: "Tietou, go help them."

The driver Tietou knew some martial arts and jumped out of the carriage to drive away the attacker.

Fu Danjun and Lan Fang came over and saw that the child was holding a begging bowl in his arms, with a black bun in the bowl.

"Don't be afraid!"

Fu Danjun felt sorry for him and asked with a smile: "Are you hungry?"

The little beggar leaned back, his eyes revealing a cruel look: "Go away! Don't try to cheat me out of my buns!"

Lan Fang couldn't help but say: "Our lady likes your dirty buns."

Although the little beggar was in a mess and dirty, he had a strong sense of self-esteem: "Get out of here!"

He picked up a stone and hit Lan Fang, which made Lan Fang angry and cursed: "The dog bites Lu Dongbin, who doesn't know the kindness of a good person."

Fu Danjun turned around and said to Lan Fang: "Why bother with him? He's just a child."

Then he smiled at the little beggar and said, "I need a guard. If you are willing to follow me, I promise that you will have buns to eat every day."

The little beggar was not stupid. He saw that Fu Danjun was sincere and nodded.

Fu Danjun ordered Tietou to bring him along.

After returning to the mansion, he asked Tietou to give him a bath, change his clothes, have a good meal, and then put him in his room to rest.

With nothing to do in the afternoon, Fu Danjun began to write a letter to his brother in Jiangnan.

When I was almost done writing the letter, there was a knock on the gate.

The person who came was the owner of a money shop. Fu Danjun's dowry also included the money shop, but in order to leave a way out for her, her parents and brother were cautious and let her treat it as her private property and not tell anyone.

"Manager Zhao, is there something urgent?"

Fu Danjun saw that he looked anxious, and then Manager Zhao handed him a contract.

"Miss, take a quick look, do you know this person?"

Fu Danjun discovered that this was a loan agreement, signed by Lu Yu.

"It's him. I recognize his handwriting."

Shopkeeper Zhao sighed: "I can't believe that a dignified marquis would go to borrow money at high interest, borrowing 5,000 taels at a very low rate."

Lan Fang asked curiously: "What is lamb's breath?"

Shopkeeper Zhao explained with a smile: "I borrowed 5,000 taels this month and have to pay back 7,500 taels at the end of the month."

Lan Fang was so frightened that she grimaced: "Oh my God, the Marquis's Mansion is so poor that they are counting on our young lady's dowry. Where can we get 7500 taels?"

Shopkeeper Zhao then said with a smile: "If he can't pay it back, he will have to pay back 11,250 taels next month."

Lan Fang was stunned. Fu Danjun smiled bitterly: "He wants to die. What can others do? But it will be difficult to collect the debt. Can we rush to the Marquis' Mansion to chase him?"

Shopkeeper Zhao clapped his hands and lamented, "Miss, you hit the nail on the head. I was just worried."

Fu Danjun smiled and said, "Leave this account to me. You don't have to worry about it. After all, the monk can run away but the temple cannot."

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhao felt relieved and left.

Fu Danjun looked at the contract and laughed to himself that he had caught Lu Yu's tail.

"Lan Fang, put the contract away carefully, and give me all the account books."

Since her divorce, Fu Danjun has to do the accounts every afternoon.

The shop owners of each store would ask someone to send the account books over. There were quite a lot of them when they were put together, and it would take at least two or three hours to read through them all.

At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from outside the yard.

Xie Changsheng appeared in the yard wearing a moon-white robe and a half-gilded mask.

He was holding a woman's hand.

The guard didn't recognize them, so he naturally stepped forward to stop them.

He quickly knocked down two of them, but fortunately Lan Fang rushed over in time to smooth things over.

"This is the young lady's friend, all of you step back."

After she finished speaking, and before anyone could ask, the woman was the first to break free from Xie Changsheng's arms, with a strong resistance in her eyes.

"Why did you bring me here?"

Xie Changsheng's peach blossom eyes shone slightly, and he raised a wicked smile: "The moon is above the treetops, and we will meet after dusk."

The woman sneered and said, "Don't expect me to be completely devoted to you. You can force my body, but you can't get my heart."

Xie Changsheng pinched her jaw with his slender fingers: "I have the final say on what you get."

Lan Fang walked away awkwardly, and Fu Danjun gave up the idea he had come up with.

Did she come out to watch the two of them flirt? She also recognized that the woman was the one holding the jade pendant she met in the pawnshop that day.

Xie Changsheng picked up Xu Yu and walked towards the next room.

Lan Fang walked up to Fu Danjun and whispered, "Miss, what should we do?"

Fu Danjun calmly said as he looked at the account book: "Just pretend to be blind."

The woman couldn't break free and suddenly shouted, "I need to go to the toilet!"

When Xie Changsheng heard this, he turned around and shouted, "Are they all dead?"

Lan Fang ran out quickly and asked: "What can I do for you?"

Xie Changsheng rolled his eyes: "Is your master deaf? Let you come"

The woman saw Lan Fang and said, "Can you take me to the toilet?"

Xie Changsheng had already walked into the study with his hands behind his back, but Fu Danjun remained focused on his account book.

Xie Changsheng sat down at the table, leaned his head back, and uttered one word: "Tea!"

Fu Danjun shouted, "Lan Fang, serve the tea!"

Xie Changsheng was unhappy and said, "She went to the toilet."
