Chapter 225 A man who is unwilling to spend money on you is definitely not a good choice
Su Wan saw Feng Ying and then looked at Qiu Niang, knowing that these two people were both Jiang Yu's subordinates and must know each other.
"What delicious food did you bring? It made me curious." Su Wan stared at his basket and smiled.
Upon hearing this, Fengying quickly opened the box, revealing a plate of pastries that looked crystal clear, soft, and chewy.
"I didn't know you were here, so I only brought one plate. Try it, girl!" Fengying brought out the pastries and handed them to Su Wan.
There were wooden sticks on the plate, which were used to eat the pastry. Su Wan picked up a piece and ate it. The texture was a bit like pudding and a bit like jelly.
"Not bad." Su Wan gave a pertinent answer. The pastry was okay, sweet but not greasy.
"Then eat more, girl. I'll buy another one." Although Fengying bought it specially for Qiu Niang, he had to respect her well since the girl the young master liked was here.
"No, I'll just eat a piece to taste it. I have things to do, so I need to leave."
Su Wan has read so many novels and watched so many TV dramas, how could he not see that he likes Qiu Niang?
It's even more interesting that these two are in a sister-brother relationship.
She wouldn't be so inconsiderate as to disturb their lovemaking.
"I'll give it to the girl!" Fengying said as he put the box down.
"Goodbye, I'm just across the street. Besides, I still have Liuyun Liuying. I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving."
Su Wan waved her hand to refuse and looked at them with a meaningful smile. When Qiu Niang saw her smile, her face turned red.
Su Wan took Liuyun and Liuying out of Bingji Hall and went straight to his own Yuyan Hall. The business in the store was good. After adding a yard to the workshop, the number of orders has increased. After his uncle finished opening up the yard, he is now busy looking for shops in various counties.
I no longer look for agents. I open my own shops and hire people to be shopkeepers. The money I earn from the agents is enough to rent a shop in the county for a year.
Now that his reputation has spread and he has replaced all his people with his own, Su Wan will find time to go to other state capitals and open a shop to do business.
Yang Qingqing is now gradually getting the hang of it and becoming proficient. She has almost mastered the bookkeeping and accounting.
When Su Wan came, she was looking at something intently, so much so that she didn't react even when Su Wan was standing in front of her.
"Cough cough!" Su Wan coughed deliberately.
Only then did Yang Qingqing come back to her senses, and Su Wan realized that she was distracted by something else.
"Wanwan is here, come in and sit down!" Yang Qingqing invited her to sit behind the counter.
Chaoyun was helping a guest look at soap, and Biaozi brought the tea.
Yesterday, Yang Qingqing went on a blind date. Su Wan guessed that she had a good impression of her this time because she didn't come to complain to him.
"How was the person you met yesterday?" Su Wan was also very gossipy.
When Yang Qingqing heard this, her face turned red and she felt a little embarrassed. Su Wan became even more certain that they were in love this time.
"Not bad. His name is Ye Runze. He's a scholar and a very handsome man. He's also very humble and polite. He actually waited there three cups of tea in advance. He was also very attentive throughout the whole process and spoke very tactfully, so he didn't make people feel abrupt. The matchmaker said he studied very hard, but his family was just a little poor."
"Well, he is humble and polite, knows how to speak with moderation, looks good, is positive and attentive in dealing with people and things, and is also a scholar. It's okay to hear you say that." Su Wan nodded in approval.
Yang Qingqing nodded and continued:
"I have already accepted the sachet he gave me. We have an appointment to go to Qingyuan to listen to an opera in three days."
Yang Qingqing accepted the sachet from someone else, which meant that she was willing to get to know the other person better. However, Su Wan still had to remind her:
"You have to be careful. Although the first impression was good, some details can better reflect the quality of this person. Didn't you say that his family is not very good?
If a man is truly good, no matter how tight his finances are, he will take the initiative to pay for things when he goes out with a girl, instead of waiting for her to spend money. A man willing to spend money on you is not necessarily good, but a man who is unwilling to spend money on you is definitely not good. Even if he is poor, being poor is not a reason for him to be stingy. This is very important.
As a modern person who traveled through time, Su Wan is sometimes quite realistic. After all, if there is no love, it is okay to have money to spend.
"I know. My mother told me the same thing. Don't worry. I know my limits."
Yang Qingqing herself is also very clear-headed. I believe she is not a person who will be obsessed with love. You can love someone very much, but you cannot become irrational for the sake of loving him and abandon your bottom line, relatives, and principles.

Inside Hibiscus Cottage, the crabapple blossoms in the yard have bloomed, densely packed, with light pink, purple, and white, three colors mixed together. The whole yard is filled with the fragrance of hibiscus. If people stay in the yard for a long time, their bodies will be infected with the fragrance of hibiscus flowers.
The petals blown down by the wind from time to time are flying all over the sky, so beautiful.
September is the season when hibiscus blooms most beautifully. The workshop also launches hibiscus scented goat milk soap and hair soap, which are very popular and loved. One is hibiscus and the other is osmanthus. These two scents are the best-selling ones, and they are on par with each other.
Two months after Yuyan Hall opened, the total profit in the entire Xiangzhou, after deducting all costs and expenses, had reached 15,000 taels. Shops in various county towns also opened one after another and the business was on the right track.
On September 23, the opening day of Bingjitang, although Su Wan could not attend, she would visit as a customer.
When she went out in the morning, Su Yi came to her with a few paintings. His seals had been made and his painting studio was already on track. He usually painted portraits for people in the store. There were also many of his own paintings hanging in the store, including ink paintings, landscapes, flowers, and ladies. Although no one would buy them normally, it was not a problem for him to earn one or two hundred taels a month just by painting portraits.
Moreover, those beautiful and pleasing paintings only need to be quietly hung in the store, which is a kind of art and artistic conception.
Sooner or later, they will meet someone who appreciates them.
His reputation for his superb portrait skills had spread throughout Xiangzhou, and even people from the government office would come to him to draw pictures when they were arresting criminals.
Through their descriptions, Su Yi can always present them with the results that they are most satisfied with. He has been painting portraits for so long that he is very familiar with the human facial bones. He is familiar with all kinds of face shapes, eyebrow shapes, eye shapes, and expressions.
The prefect even wanted to recruit him as a portrait artist for the yamen, but Su Yi refused. He just wanted to paint quietly and didn't want to get involved in these things.
The prefect knew that he was the younger brother of the top scholar, and he couldn't force him to do it if he didn't want to, so he had to give up.
Early this morning, Su Yi gave Su Wan a few paintings with his own seal on them that he had promised to give her some time ago for her collection.
