"What can they do to me? A concubine, her rank is not even as high as a county lady like me. As for the Third Prince, I probably won't face him head-on for now. Even if he does, I have ways to deal with him."
Looking at Shen Jia's solemn promise, Fuqiu still felt uneasy. She said reluctantly, "But if, if the Third Prince ascends to that throne..."
"Then don't let him have this opportunity. Fuqiu, have you ever heard the saying? If you want to destroy someone, you must first drive him crazy."
Fuqiu still didn't quite understand what Shen Jia meant. It was too difficult for them to confront a prince with their current status, but based on her blind trust in Shen Jia, she felt temporarily at ease.
"That's good. The situation in Shengjing is more complicated than in the northern border. Jia Niang, we should be even more careful."
"I know everything. Now we should open our shop first."
In decorating the three shops, Shen Jia basically kept the same style as before. The only special thing was that this time she used the newly developed tempered glass directly on the door of her own Glazed Pavilion, which would not cause any problems with ordinary collisions.
If they came deliberately to cause trouble, she would not let them leave in one piece. The consequences of cutting off their source of income should be foreseeable.
According to the favorable date, the first shop to open was Zhenwei Pavilion, which was popular among the women of Shengjing. Its soft and glutinous snow meringue, mellow and smooth milk tea, and melt-in-the-mouth tofu desserts quickly became popular in Shengjing City.
Compared with the previous store opening in Hezhou, the momentum was even more crazy, so the revenue on the first day was incomparable. Looking at the white silver, Shen Jia felt that even if he had to see the annoying Third Prince and his wife here, he could endure it for a while.
Soon it was time for the Shengjing Liuli Pavilion to open. Due to the high status of Liuli in the Great Sheng Dynasty, Shen Jia specially chose a good day and time.
After her extensive publicity, a large number of people had already gathered in front of the door one hour before the opening.
Xu Yuezhen also knew how much Shen Jia valued Liuli Pavilion, so she specially put aside her morning duties to come and help Shen Jia. While waiting inside the door, she couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Your Glazed Pavilion truly deserves the praise of the Shengjing officials. Even I feel delighted when I see it. It's exquisite and ingenious. Just looking at it makes me feel good."
This time, Shen Jia decorated the interior of the shop according to modern aesthetics. Compared to the last time when there was only transparent glass like water, this time she added a lot of colors and matched it with various floral decorations. It was a novelty compared to porcelain.
"What's the big deal? I've already prepared your favorite crabapple-shaped teapot for you. I've already sent it to your carriage. You can see it when you get home later."
"The one who understands me is Jia Niang."
Soon it was time to open the shop. Shen Jia shouted to the employees waiting behind the door, "Pull up the bamboo curtain."
As the employees pulled the hanging ropes on both sides, the bamboo curtain, which was originally level with the ground, slowly rose upwards and rolled into a ball at the top.
The light from outside gradually filtered through the tempered glass. No one had expected it to be like this, and everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.
People outside the door thought that the door of the Glazed Pavilion was made of thick bamboo curtains, but Xu Yuezhen was blocked and could not see the material outside.
As the bamboo curtain was fixed at the top, Xu Yuezhen sighed again, "You are really generous. Such precious colored glass was made into a door by you. I feel so sad to see it. If someone accidentally broke it, they would be heartbroken for several days."
"Don't worry, our doors are specially made and won't break under ordinary impact. If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself later."
As soon as he finished speaking, the glass door was opened from both sides by the employees. Shen Jia walked slowly to the door with his head held high and chest puffed out, and called out familiarly:
"Today is the grand opening of my Liuli Pavilion. I'm very grateful for your support. Today is Liuli Day and all jewelry is 10% off. Everyone is welcome to come in and shop!"
As Shen Jia finished speaking, the plaque in front of the door, which was covered by red silk, also appeared. This time, Shen Jia used the handwriting of his father Shen Yu for the plaque, which was also quite good.
Everyone was already very curious about the Glazed Pavilion, which became famous in the north and was loved by high-ranking officials and nobles in Shengjing City. The glazed door just now had already shocked everyone, and now they were even more surprised to hear that there was a 40% discount.
After all, no one has ever heard of this type of shop offering discounts, but everyone knows the price of glass, and in the end, the people who enter the shop are the wives of wealthy businessmen with spare money.
Basically, once you come in, those who don’t have special needs can stroll around the shop lobby, while others are invited to the private rooms on the first and second floors, where there will be dedicated service staff.
Shen Jia also took advantage of this opportunity to enter his private room, where Xu Yuezhen was watching the fun.
"If you feel bored staying here, you can go and take care of your own business. I've opened so many shops, I'm already used to it. I don't think anyone will come to cause trouble for the time being."
Xu Yuezhen paused for a moment while holding the glass teacup, then smiled slightly. "You really know your own abilities. If you need any help in the future, just come to me. It's not easy to gain a foothold in Shengjing."
After having a cup of tea, Xu Yuezhen left with the gift given by Shen Jia.
Before Shen Jia could rest for a while, she heard Liuli say that someone was looking for her. Someone said "Zhao Wulang?"
At first, Shen Jia thought that someone was looking for her under the name of a friend, but when she saw him, she quickly invited him into the private room.
"I didn't know that Mr. Zhao, such a busy man, would have the time to visit my little shop. He really makes it shine."
"Lord Jiahe, you are being too modest. Don't I know the capabilities of the Liuli Pavilion? And there are more gifts from you last time. I have earned the favor of my family elders because of them."
In fact, Zhao Yuanyou didn't have so much time to come and see Shen Jia's shop opening. He originally wanted to find his subordinates to give gifts as a way to express his gratitude.
But a few days ago, Yan Xu wrote a letter to inform him of this matter. His original suspicion had to be confirmed, and in his heart he was also making fun of his friend Yan Xu who was not romantic.
He came to visit partly because of a friend's request and partly because he wanted to watch the fun.
At this moment, Fuqiu's anxious voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Jia Niang, that Concubine Song is here, and she is looking for you in the private room."
The shop was quite noisy at this time, and Shen Jia had not expected Song Fu to come at this time. She had previously sent a visiting card to the Third Prince's Mansion according to the thoughts of the Lady of Marquis Changle, and she thought that the Third Prince's wife would keep it privately, and her arrival did not seem to be in her best interest.
