"Alright, leave it to me! I guarantee you won't lose out! Be careful while you're out and about. Take this with you. If you need silver, just take this to any Su's Gold Shop and you can exchange it for silver."
As Su Qianjin spoke, he took out a jade pendant and handed it to Lin Yuxin. Although he didn't know what Lin Yuxin was going out to do, having more money would make things easier.
"Uncle Jin, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept this. I have money, so don't worry!"
When Lin Yuxin saw that Su Qianjin had actually taken out such a valuable item, she was a little flustered. She couldn't accept such a gift without having done anything for it!
Although she and Su Qianjin were business partners, she couldn't take other people's things as a matter of course.
"Yuxin, I really consider you a friend. Since we're in a business relationship, I'll definitely help you if you're in trouble. Take this with you, just in case, so I can feel at ease."
Su Qianjin tried her best to persuade him, saying that he gave him the jade pendant not entirely because of their cooperative relationship, but also because Lin Yuxin's words had helped him solve a major hidden danger, allowing him to survive safely. He had already found a doctor to treat the poison in his body.
So, Lin Yuxin could be considered his savior, and the jade pendant should belong to her. But he couldn't say that, so he could only make up some one-sided excuses.
"Alright! I'll take it for now and return it to Uncle Jin when I get back."
Seeing that Su Qianjin insisted on giving it to him, Lin Yuxin had no choice but to accept it first to put his mind at ease.
However, she didn't think she would use it; she had more gold and silver in her storage space than she could ever use up.
"Okay, we'll talk about it when you get back! Hehehe!"
Su Qianjin didn't care, as long as she accepted it.
Lin Yuxin bid farewell to Su Qianjin and headed towards her second brother's shop.
My second brother has opened shops in all four directions of the capital, and also throughout the Xia Kingdom. Because he is a royal merchant, his shops are quite large.
...
Lin Yuxin had been standing in front of a restaurant called Baixianglou for a while, but only a few customers went in to make purchases.
Lin Yuxin frowned as she looked at him. Was her second brother trying to hand over the title of Imperial Merchant?
"Why!"
She finally understood why her second brother was so poor. With a business like that, how could the Emperor dare to employ him? But she couldn't blame him; in the book, he was also destined for a short life, so whether the business was good or bad didn't matter.
Lin Yuxin sighed, but still took a step towards the store. As soon as she entered, she saw her second brother walking towards her.
"Little sister, what brings you here! Come on, let your big brother show you around my shop."
Lin Shaoyang heard Xin Sheng's voice and knew that his sister had arrived, so he hurriedly came out to greet her. Although Xin Sheng didn't say anything nice, it didn't stop him from loving his sister.
"Second brother, how do you manage to keep your shop from going out of business despite being so deserted?"
Lin Yuxin glanced at Lin Shaoyang and couldn't help but ask the question.
"Sigh! Business was pretty good before, but then a shop called Moxianlou opened across the street and launched a very special perfume balm that became incredibly popular. It attracted all our customers away in no time. If it weren't for my other businesses keeping us afloat, this shop would probably have gone out of business."
Lin Shaoyang sighed helplessly and explained.
Who told them to come on strong and launch new products directly? Many of the fragrances in their store were old styles, and the perfumers who used to work in their store were all poached by the other side.
They're so mean!! But that's business; if you don't have the skills, you'll be pushed out by others.
How long did they drive?
Lin Yuxin frowned and asked.
"It's been open for more than half a month now. By the way, it opened after you came back from Bailing Temple."
Lin Shaoyang lowered his head and thought for a moment before speaking.
[Half a month ago, or after returning from Bailing Temple? Moxianglou, Moxianglou! Right, this shop also suddenly appeared in the shop catalog, but only after his second brother died.]
[This time they came ahead of schedule, but their goals are probably the same: to take over all of Second Brother's shops, thereby replacing him as the Imperial Merchant. It seems they came prepared!]
Lin Yuxin looked serious as she pondered the current situation. She felt that the most urgent task was to get the business going, and everything else would have to be dealt with as the situation developed.
Lin Shaoyang's expression hardened when he heard Lin Yuxin's thoughts, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He hadn't expected that someone would interfere with him, a businessman. Well then, he wouldn't be so rude as to cut off Lin Yuxin's leg!
"Let's go in and talk about the upcoming business!"
Lin Yuxin called her second brother and they walked straight inside.
"Yes, come on, your second brother will take you inside to sit and talk!"
Lin Shaoyang withdrew his stern expression and quickly reverted to his sunny, boyish demeanor.
[Huh? Did she do something wrong? Why did she sense such a strong murderous aura emanating from her second brother just now? Could it be that her second brother also has some secret?]
Lin Yuxin followed behind Lin Shaoyang, looking at his back with a puzzled expression.
She couldn't have been mistaken about the murderous intent in her second brother's eyes just now; either he was hiding his true strength.
When Lin Shaoyang, who was walking ahead, heard Lin Yuxin exposing his shortcomings in her mind, he almost stumbled, but luckily he managed to hold on.
He forced himself to remain calm and continued walking forward. His younger sister was too shrewd; if he didn't protect his little secret, she would be exposed sooner or later.
Bai Xiang Lou has three floors. The first floor only sells spices and perfumes, the second floor is where wealthy ladies come to shop, and the products are of the highest quality. The third floor is a private area.
Lin Shaoyang didn't openly set it up as a shopping area like the second floor because he could come here when there were things he couldn't discuss outside.
This was Lin Yuxin's first time here. There were three rooms on the third floor. Lin Yuxin followed Lin Shaoyang into the leftmost room.
