Chapter 163: Opening a Store in the Capital

"What are you thinking about? You are so absent-minded."

Song Wu Shao looked at the dazed man and waved his hand in front of her, trying to get her attention.

Xu Miaomiao recovered and looked at him, telling Song Wushao everything the queen had said to her.

The man's eyes became lower and lower, and his tone became more difficult to understand.

"Do you think this is the emperor's intention or the queen's own intention?"

Xu Miaomiao was puzzled and had to ask Song Wushao for help.

Her head was suddenly wrapped by a pair of big hands, and the warm atmosphere made Xu Miaomiao feel at ease.

"Wasn't I praised by the emperor last time? Why are you doubting yourself now?" Song Wu Shao smiled as he looked at the person in front of him.

"Yes." Xu Miaomiao suddenly realized that even the government knew about his shop but did not stop him. It was obvious that they supported him. So why should he care about what was said today?

"No matter what others think, as long as you want to do it, I will support you." Song Wu Shao looked at Xu Miaomiao and said.

Many people around her have expressed their support to her, but she still felt warm in her heart when she heard Song Wu Shao say this.

"You support me, so I naturally support you." Xu Miaomiao looked at the man and said, "No matter what you do, I will always be your backer and will never back down."

Staring at the expression of the little woman in front of him, Song Wu Shao couldn't help it anymore and took a step forward.

In an instant, the four lips were touching, and a soft touch came from the mouth.

The scent of ink on the man filled Xu Miaomiao's nose, and her heart was beating so violently that it seemed like it would burst out of her chest in the next second.

"I, I went to write a letter to Liu Niang."

As soon as Song Wushao left, Xu Miaomiao spoke intermittently and left immediately.

The scene just now kept flashing in her mind, making her unable to calm down. She wasted several sheets of paper before she finished writing.

"Aunt Gu, when will mother come back?"

Erbao stuck to Gu Yuanniang as usual and started asking questions, but Xiaobao at the side held Ling'er in his arms and coaxed her like a little adult.

"A letter has arrived!"

While the two were talking, Song Weiwei walked into the room with a letter.

"Is it Miaomiao's?" Gu Yuan's mother asked Song Weiwei who walked in while holding Erbao.

Seeing Song Weiwei nod, Erbao rushed out: "Let me read it, let me read it."

Song Weiwei also doted on her and handed the letter over.

Erbao and Xiaobao have been studying at the college, so it’s a good opportunity to see if they have made any progress.

As soon as the letter was opened, the little girl frowned: "Don't worry, Mom, I have everything, everything..."

The voice stopped abruptly. Erbao felt guilty and handed the letter to Song Weiwei: "I think it's better for Auntie to read it."

Gu Yuanniang and Song Weiwei were amused by her appearance.

"Liu Niang, Wei Wei, I'm fine, don't worry. The department store branch can be opened. I will go find the store tomorrow. I look forward to seeing you."

Song Weiwei read the words on the letter and said with some surprise: "Can we really open a store in the capital?"

"Will I be able to see mommy soon?" Erbao also said in surprise.

"Yes, yes, yes." Gu Yuanniang responded to the two people: "Your wish will soon be fulfilled."

Xiaobao on the side also looked at everyone happily and clapped his hands.

The house was peaceful, but Xu Miaomiao in the capital was in a dilemma for a moment.

The prosperity of the capital city is unimaginable. The streets are filled with big red lanterns and the streets are deserted. Even in the dark night, it is as bright as day.

It’s just an ordinary night market, but it’s as lively as the New Year’s Eve in Bai County.

Xu Miaomiao wandered around the street but didn't find a vacant shop. She could only shake her head and sigh and then go to a place that specialized in selling shops.

"Hey, madam, are you here to buy a house or to hire a maid?" As soon as the man saw Xu Miaomiao come in, he hurried forward and asked.

Xu Miaomiao sat down and said, "I want a shop."

"Shop?"

The man was obviously stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said, "Are you here to take a look for the master? What kind do you want?"

“On the second floor, the space should be large enough but the place should also be more conspicuous, in a place with a lot of traffic.”

"My lady, you are a wise man. Are you planning to open a restaurant?"

"It's me who wants to open a shop."

"You, a woman, want to open a store?"

The man's voice suddenly rose, and his sharp voice attracted many people.

The people swarmed over and surrounded Xu Miaomiao, and started pointing and talking at her.

He frowned. He thought that the problems he encountered when opening a store in Bai County were already troublesome enough, but he didn't expect that it would be even more troublesome in the capital.

Xu Miaomiao didn't want to say a few more words to everyone and prepared to turn around and leave.

The faces of the people in front of her flashed through her mind. One day, she would make these people regret it.

Who says women can’t open a shop? This time she wants to be the first one, and she will definitely let everyone know that women can also open an independent shop!

After leaving the store, Xu Miaomiao continued searching on the street.

The streets of this capital city are not necessarily narrow, each stall has its own fixed location, and the roads are wide, which is very different from the narrow places before.

Xu Miaomiao took a deep breath, encouraged herself and continued searching.

I walked from East Street to West Street, and then wandered from the beginning to the end of the street, and finally saw a rouge shop with the words "Resale" written on it.

Xu Miaomiao walked towards the rouge shop like a escaped rabbit.

"Madam, are you here to buy rouge? We are closed now."

The man shook his head, looked at Xu Miaomiao with some regret and spoke.

"I'm not here to buy rouge. Do I see you're selling it?" Xu Miaomiao's eyes lit up and she looked at the man as if she had seen a savior.

The man looked Xu Miaomiao up and down suspiciously: "You want to buy my shop?"

There was a lot of contempt in his tone, but if you want to do business, you have to learn to endure it. Xu Miaomiao nodded: "Yes."

"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "What price are you going to give?"

Xu Miaomiao walked around the store, looked at the surrounding environment, and made the shape of an eight with her fingers.

The capital city is much more prosperous than Bai County, so the prices are naturally doubled.

Looking at Xu Miaomiao's gesture, the man shook his head: "At least 1,500 taels."

With this price, she could buy four or five shops in Bai County. Although she had just arrived in the capital, she was also a businesswoman and not a complete white rabbit who knew nothing. Knowing that he was deliberately raising the price, Xu Miaomiao was not annoyed.

"This price is a bit high. I know everything. Isn't it too much to ask for 1,500 taels for this location?"

Xu Miaomiao looked at the boss and spoke.

"What do you know as a woman?"

I had something to do yesterday and the day before yesterday, so I will make up for the past few days of interruption today.
