Chapter 29 Ji Zixuan became the takeover
Shen Junheng guessed that she might have sunscreen in her space, and she wanted some, so he asked her, "Miss Ji, it's so hot, and you don't even use an umbrella, how can you still have such a white skin?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Zixuan immediately pulled out a small porcelain jar from her sleeve pocket as if presenting a treasure, and said with a smile, "Actually, I put this on my skin. This medicine is called sunscreen. Applying it on your skin can protect you from the scorching sun."
Shen Junheng was amused. Ji Zixuan, how casual are you? You didn't even change your name? Hahahaha.
Shen Junheng immediately bought a can of sunscreen, then deliberately took her to see one of her shops and asked her what she thought of it.
Shen Junheng felt a bit like a fool, as she was selling a small jar of sunscreen for a tael of gold. If Ji Zixuan took a fancy to her shop, she would let her experience the feeling of being the one who took over.
Ji Zixuan pondered for a moment and said seriously, "The location is good, but the things they sell are not attractive enough, and the display is messy."
"When it comes to business, location is the most important thing. I think you could buy this shop and turn it into a pharmacy."
"You can consider it."
"I happen to be familiar with the owner of this shop. She owns nine shops, all in prime locations, and she's looking for someone to take them over. If Miss Ji is interested, I can arrange a meeting for you two."
"If the seats are all good and the price is right, I'd be happy to take them all. Then I'll have to trouble Miss Chen to arrange it for me."
"We've been walking around for a long time today and had a great time. There's a restaurant up ahead, why don't we go in and sit down." Shen Junheng really couldn't walk around anymore.
Ji Zixuan said with an apologetic smile: "I am sorry for the poor hospitality. Miss Chen has been with me for a long time, and she must be hungry. Let's go to that restaurant and have a seat."
Shen Junheng and Ji Zixuan had walked a few steps towards the restaurant when they suddenly saw a man riding a horse slowly towards them.
Ji Zixuan had sharp eyes and recognized the person immediately, it was Xiao Linghe. She immediately waved at him and shouted, "Your Highness Prince Yan, what a coincidence, you are here shopping too!"
As soon as these words were spoken, people on the street looked at her and Shen Junheng.
Most women in the Tang Dynasty were very reserved and wouldn't even curse so loudly.
Shen Junheng admired him very much for his loud voice and his social skills.
Everyone's gazes, like pepper spray, fell on Shen Junheng, and she felt her face burning. Why was it Ji Zixuan who had been the one to shout at Xiao Linghe, but she was the one to tap her toes in embarrassment?
Xiao Linghe must have been a grown-up girl getting into a bridal sedan. It was the first time that a woman approached him so loudly on the street, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Seeing that the person calling him was Ji Zixuan and Shen Junheng beside her, Xiao Linghe immediately jumped off his horse, handed the reins to the servant who came over, walked up to them, bowed briefly, and said with a smile: "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Madam He and the talented Miss Ji."
Ji Zixuan recited a poem at the princess's residence that day, and her reputation as a talented woman spread throughout the capital so quickly.
Shen Junheng and Ji Zixuan also bowed slightly to him.
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it." Ji Zixuan said modestly with a smile, but her expression was not humble. "Where are you going, Your Highness the Prince of Yan?"
Xiao Linghe said, "I just had nothing to do, so I just wandered around."
Ji Zixuan said, "It's better to meet by chance than to be invited. We are just about to go to the restaurant up ahead for dinner. Your Highness the Prince of Yan, would you please do us the honor of joining us?"
Xiao Linghe said straightforwardly: "Then I'd rather obey than be disrespectful!"
Shen Junheng's expression suddenly changed. When did she agree to go to the restaurant with Xiao Linghe?
Shen Junheng said indifferently: "I suddenly remembered that something happened at home, so I left first."
Xiao Linghe looked at her and said with a half-smile, "Why did Madam He want to leave as soon as I arrived? Did I disturb Madam He's mood?"
Ji Zixuan hurriedly said, "How could that be? Miss Shen does have something to do. But it's rare for the King of Yan to host. If Miss Shen's matter is not too urgent, why not put it aside for now and go to the restaurant to rest and have something to eat?"
When did Xiao Linghe say he was going to treat everyone?
Xiao Linghe smiled indifferently.
Shen Junheng was completely speechless. If she wanted to get close to Xiao Linghe, don't drag her along. She had no interest in Xiao Linghe.
"I won't disturb you two, I'll take my leave first." Shen Junheng glanced at Ji Zixuan.
"I'll take you there." Xiao Linghe said.
"Thank you, King Yan. My carriage is parked not far away. I can go back by myself." Shen Junheng said with a faint expression and walked forward.
Xiao Linghe watched her leave.
Ji Zixuan was not shy about it and walked towards the restaurant side by side with Xiao Linghe.
"Miss, do you dislike Miss Ji?" Liu Xiaodie couldn't help asking after getting on the carriage.
Shen Junheng said calmly: "It's not that I don't like you, it's just that our personalities are not compatible. There's no need to accommodate me."
"I think Miss Ji is very rude. I visited her at her house and accompanied her shopping, but she didn't even provide her with food. How can she be a lady of honor?" Liu Xiaodie muttered as she unwrapped a piece of food wrapped in oil paper. "Miss, I bought you a sponge cake. How about you have some to fill your stomach first?"
Shen Junheng took the sponge cake, divided half of it and handed it back to her, saying softly, "You must be hungry too."
Liu Xiaodie quickly said, "I'm not hungry."
"Here you go, just take it."
"Thank you, Miss."
Liu Xiaodie took the sponge cake and felt a little flattered.
Liu Xiaodie and the original owner had a deep relationship; nominally they were master and servant, but more like sisters. But ever since Liu Xiaodie arrived, she wasn't as close to him as the original owner. She had initially thought she had done something wrong, causing the young lady to dislike her, and had to be extremely cautious.
Now that the young lady actually took the initiative to share the sponge cake with her, she couldn't help but feel excited.
Shen Junheng actually didn’t hate Liu Xiaodie, she was just used to keeping a safe distance from people.
Her way of dealing with things is not to be too nice to anyone, otherwise her kindness will be taken for granted in the eyes of others, and if she is not nice one day, she will easily be hated.
After Shen Junheng returned to Fanshuiju, he asked Liu Xiaodie to find Lu Yongan, who would then discuss the transfer of the shop with Ji Zixuan. She specifically instructed Lu Yongan that Ji Zixuan was straightforward but not foolish, and that he should avoid playing tricks during the negotiation, as this would only backfire. He simply needed to be sincere and not reveal that she was the true owner, but should tell the truth about the shop's situation.
After Lu Yongan negotiated with Ji Zixuan, Ji Zixuan took over the nine shops readily after three days of inspection, and the price he offered was in line with Shen Junheng's expectations.
That day, Lu Yongan took the money and lease given by Ji Zixuan, and she happily checked the accounts and counted the money.
After a while, Nanny Xue from the Shen Mansion came and said that Shen Congting had returned and the mansion was holding a banquet to welcome him and invited her to attend.
Shen Junheng put down the account book and felt happy.
They are finally back.
