Chapter 110 Father and son should settle accounts clearly!
Shen's house, backyard.
After returning from Moxiang Village, Shen Chaoyan rested for two days and was resurrected with full health.
She went to the shop with Shen Linfeng to check the situation during the day, and used the heavenly book to check the follow-up of the case at night.
Today's case was completely over, and everything was settled. Knowing that Sikong Yu had suffered heavy casualties, she felt so relieved.
Tonight, Shen Chaoyan was lying on the bed, and on a whim, she used the heavenly book to check the situation in the palace, and ended up eating the melon of Shen Qingwan, the lark of the underworld.
In order to squat on Sikong Yan, she fed mosquitoes in the Yu Garden for several days.
As a result, the talent show turned out to be blowing the gourd silk. It would be fine
if he could just play the hulusi, but he played it more shockingly than the suona, almost sending Sikong Xian and Li Heguang away on the spot.
It's funny just to think about it.
After eating the melon, Shen Chaoyan summed up his thoughts with emotion: [Tianshu, you see, this story tells us that women still have to be financially independent and can't pin their hopes on men. Otherwise, if you rely on mountains, the mountains will fall, and if you rely on people, they will run away. Only yourself is the most reliable.]
Tianshu: [The host is right, but it's midnight now, you can go to sleep. Your 'house arrest' will end in two days, and you don't want to bring dark circles back to the palace.]
Shen Chaoyan was indeed sleepy: [You are right, I have to talk to my second brother about the new shop tomorrow!]
The next day, morning.
Shen Chaoyan was still in her sleep when Shen Linfeng came knocking on her door.
"Sister, get up. Didn't you say you would go with me to discuss the new shop today? At first, she refused to meet him, but now she is moved by my sincerity. Come with me to have a look! Maybe we can get the shop today!"
Because Shen Chaoyan's birthday gift to the empress dowager was a complete set of beauty and skin care products.
Now their shop "Yueji" is very popular among noble ladies, and many customers are willing to spend a lot of money to buy a beauty set like the empress dowager.
The orders they have received can be scheduled until next year.
Some low-end and medium-end general goods are also very popular among the people because of their low prices.
There are too many customers coming to the shop every day to buy and view goods, and the shop needs to be expanded urgently.
Shen Linfeng had his eyes on several shops next to his own, which also sold rouge and powder.
However, due to the impact of "Yue Ji", the business of the shops was very slow.
Shen Linfeng thought about talking to the shopkeepers and owners of the shops to buy all the shops in a row and make their beauty products bigger and stronger.
He had made several appointments before but failed to get an appointment. This time, the other party finally agreed to meet with him to discuss in detail, so of course he had to seize this opportunity.
Shen Chaoyan did not slack off and quickly packed herself up. The brother and sister did not even have breakfast at home. They grabbed a bun and got on the carriage to Zui Xiang Ju, where they had an appointment.
The two of them entered the private room of the restaurant. Shen Chaoyan walked in front. She pushed the door open and saw the person sitting inside as soon as she looked up.
When she saw the other person's face clearly, her eyes widened and a happy expression appeared on her face, "Aunt Gu, why are you here?"
The person sitting in the private room was Gu Jinyue. Compared with the last time they met in the palace, her face was much rosier. She was wearing
an expensive satin dress, no extra jewelry on her head, only a Hetian jade hairpin, and the whole person looked beautiful with the years.
After leaving the domestic violence scumbag, she swept away her previous haggardness and fatigue. Not only did her face become younger and more prosperous, but her temperament also became softer and calmer.
Gu Jinyue looked at the two siblings, and suddenly she realized something. "So it was you who wanted to buy my shop!"
After she divorced Jia Senqin, she used her dowry to buy a courtyard house next to Xue Anning's yard.
After moving into the courtyard house, she found that she could live a good life even if she was alone.
But she was not a good businessman, and the six shops in her dowry were always in a loss.
A few days ago, the shopkeeper told her that someone wanted to rent her shop, but she ignored it.
After checking the accounts this month, she found that the losses were quite serious. Gu Jinyue finally made up her mind to rent out all the shops and collect the rent herself. Not only did she not have to rack her brains every day to calculate whether the shops were profitable, but she could also receive a steady amount of rent every month. It was really killing two birds with one stone.
So, she asked the shopkeeper to pass on the message that she was willing to rent out the shop, but she just needed to meet the person who rented the shop.
At least, she had to know who rented her shop and what kind of business they did. She
was originally worried that if she rented the shop to someone she didn't like, she would be reluctant to let go.
At this time, seeing Shen Chaoyan and his sister, she was completely relieved.
Shen Chaoyan didn't expect that the owner of those shops was actually Gu Jinyue.
Although they were acquaintances, they still had to go through the necessary procedures.
"Aunt Gu, my brother and I came here today to rent all six of your shops and expand our beauty shop. I have drafted a lease contract, please take a look at it first."
After she finished speaking, she took out the contract and handed it to Gu Jinyue.
Gu Jinyue smiled and pushed the contract back to her, "Yan'er, your mother and I are close friends, and you and your brother were raised by Aunt Gu. How can Aunt Gu ask you for money? If you want to use this shop, feel free to use it. It doesn't matter how long you use it."
"Aunt Gu, as the saying goes, father and son should settle accounts clearly. Business is business, and feelings are feelings. If you are unwilling to collect the rent, then we can only find another shop." Shen Chaoyan
held the contract in one hand and pulled Shen Linfeng with the other, as if she was about to leave.
"You kid..."
Seeing that she was really going to leave, Gu Jinyue hurried forward to stop her, "Don't look for another shop. Aunt Gu has these six shops. You can rent them out in any way you want and pay any rent. It's up to you."
Shen Chaoyan immediately took back her steps and bent her beautiful big eyes to look at Gu Jinyue, "Aunt Gu, everyone does business for the purpose of making money. I can't let you suffer a loss. Let's follow the rent in the contract. I will sign for three years first, and the rent will be paid once a year. Is that okay with you?"
"Okay, no problem!"
The contract for renting a shop went very smoothly.
Shen Chaoyan drew a few more decoration design drawings and left them to Shen Linfeng.
The ten-day deadline was up, and she changed back into the clothes of a little eunuch. In the evening, she followed Li Heguang's carriage out to shop and returned to the palace.
As night fell, Shen Chaoyan returned to the Piyan Palace. Before she had time to change her clothes, Lugua came over like a little butterfly.
"My queen, you are finally back! I miss you so much that I almost lose weight every day!"
Lugua is Shen Chaoyan's personal maid. She has never been away from Shen Chaoyan for so long.
"Why do I see that your face has become rounder?"
Shen Chaoyan stretched out her hand and pinched her cheek. It felt soft and comfortable.
So, she couldn't help but pinch it twice more.
"Ah? Really?"
Lugua touched her face, "Then I won't eat dinner tonight. I must lose weight!"
"Just kidding! Come, look what delicious food I brought you!"
Shen Chaoyan handed her the big bag of snacks in her hand.
Green Gua opened it and her eyes lit up. "Tanghulu, plum with basil, red date cake, peach blossom cake... Wow! They are all my favorites! Thank you, my queen!"
"After you change your clothes, let's go to dinner first!"
"Okay! I'll help you change your clothes!"
Shen Chaoyan changed her clothes and was about to serve the meal when a loud announcement came from outside.
"The emperor has arrived!"
Did this man install a radar on her?
He came on time!
