The shopkeeper came forward and was stunned when he heard this: "Madam Xie, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Who would have thought that the headgear was custom-made by Jiang Yuzhu for the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.
The shopkeeper really wanted to slap himself. Their shop had swallowed up the empress dowager's things!
Although it was given to Xuan Yao, giving it to Xuan Yao and sending it to the Queen Mother are not the same thing after all.
The shopkeeper looked depressed and couldn't help but feel resentful towards Xuan Yao for stealing other people's things.
Jiang Yuzhu smiled and said, "What's the use of telling you? The blueprints are lost, so I'm doomed to miss it."
With a sigh, Jiang Yuzhu left the shop with her maid.
The sun is shining and people are coming and going on the busy streets.
After they boarded the carriage, Hongli asked, "Madam, why did you say the headpiece was made for the Queen Mother?"
These words seemed to be meant for Xuan Yao to hear. Given Xuan Yao's shamelessness, she would definitely use her hair ornaments to please the Queen Mother.
"Isn't that just perfect?"
Although Chen Zhilan's name contains the character "Lan", she actually prefers the peony, which symbolizes wealth and good fortune.
Knowing Shen Zhilan's preferences, Jiang Yuzhu stayed up late to revise the design repeatedly and finally drew a set of peony headwear.
After being snatched away by Xuan Yao, Jiang Yuzhu suddenly had an idea and set a trap for Xuan Yao.
There is an unknown secret in the book.
The Empress Dowager had a close friend named Mudan, and they entered the palace together after being selected for the imperial examination.
Mudan was very much favored by the late emperor, and the empress dowager was extremely jealous. She framed Mudan and took her place, and then took advantage of the opportunity to ascend to the throne.
The reason why the late emperor made her the empress dowager was simple. The empress dowager looked somewhat similar to a peony. Even when he favored the empress dowager, he would pronounce the word "peony".
From then on, the Empress Dowager hated everything related to peonies, and there was not a single peony flower in the imperial garden of the palace.
This was the secret hidden in the Queen Mother's heart. She was troubled by nightmares at midnight and became superstitious about fate from then on.
"I'll keep you in suspense for now, but Xuan Yao won't get any advantage, and she might even be resented by the Queen Mother."
Jiang Yuzhu chuckled, opened the car window and looked at the street across the street.
In the capital city where every inch of land is valuable, there is a cloth shop that is not doing well.
"Madam, I heard that it is the property of Yongchang Earl Han's family."
Han Zhen's family's ancestral property is now in deficit due to the uncle's huge expenses and the cloth shop is also making losses, so they have already thought about selling the ancestral property.
Jiang Yuzhu's mind moved slightly, and she asked, "Is it sold?"
Hong Jin shook her head: "No."
The Han family has been running a cloth shop for many years and has suffered losses almost every year.
The two nearby shops were also losing money, so it was thought that there was something wrong with the feng shui.
"I heard that several families made bids, but the Han family did not agree."
After all, it is an ancestral property, and I want to sell it for a good price.
The Han family, with hundreds of members, all rely on the protection of the Bo's Mansion for their livelihood. Even if they sell their property, they won't be able to survive for more than two years if the money isn't deposited into the accounts.
Hong Jin didn't know the details, she had heard Liang An mention it.
"Ma'am, are you going to buy the shop?"
Hongli guessed that the lady was going to give Han Zhen some money again.
Jiang Yuzhu did not deny it: "You send someone to the Han family to discuss business, buy the shop at 20% more than the market price, and then give Han Zhen 30% of the shares after the shop opens."
Hongli smacked his lips: "Madam, are you giving too much?"
"not much."
Han Zhen was the first person to seek refuge with her, and Jiang Yuzhu trusted Han Zhen very much.
To bribe subordinates, money is indispensable.
With money, Han Zhen can also train staff to work for her wholeheartedly, and Jiang Yuzhu will only get more convenience.
"You should find a skilled craftsman. Your wife wants to open a jewelry store!"
From now on, the number one jewelry store in the capital will have to change.
Jiang Yuzhu is rich, so who else does she need to look up to? From now on, she will only patronize her own shop for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
If you get tired of one restaurant, open another one to try something new.
Several maids were very excited and clapped their hands in approval, saying, "Madam is indeed courageous!"
As the carriage passed through a busy market, Jiang Yuzhu ordered Hongli and Hongfeng to go shopping: "We are going to Qingzhu Academy, we can't go there empty-handed."
"Go to the cloth shop and buy a few sets of soft ready-made clothes. Then, sell out a few old-fashioned cake shops in the capital and send them to the academy."
Jiang Yuzhu went there not to keep a low profile, but to find a place for Xie Xuan.
As long as it’s something you can use, buy it without hesitation!
We arrived at Qingzhu Academy just in time for noon.
A servant from the Xie Mansion brought a message that Xie Xuan was packing his packages.
Shen Zhilan is getting married tomorrow and the bride will be sent off at Xie's house. Xie Xuan plans to return home to watch the ceremony.
"Xie Wu, stop!"
At the entrance of the academy, the leading scholar had a white face and no beard, a round body, and held a folding fan in his hand to show off his elegance.
The fat scholar's face was swollen like a pig's head, and under his thick eyelids were only a pair of small green bean-shaped eyes, shining with brilliance: "Xie Wu, are you satisfied with the gift this young master gave you today?"
"Xuan Qi, did you do this?"
Xie Xuan turned his head and glared at him.
Ever since entering Qingzhu Academy, Xie Xuan has been ostracized by Xuan Qi and his men.
The homework assigned by the teacher would mysteriously disappear, and the bed in the room would be splashed with dirty water.
Xie Xuan kept in mind the purpose of entering the academy. Unlike Xuan Qi, he had already passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, but his academic level was not among the top three.
The Xie family decided to send Xie Xuan to study at the academy, and make a decision one year later on whether to retake the exam or be sent out to serve as an official.
Xie Xuan was devoted to studying and had no intention of becoming enemies with the Xuan family. He knew that if he caused any trouble, it would definitely put his third brother in a difficult position.
"Xie Wu, you're not even half as good as your third brother Xie Zhao. Where's your backbone?"
Xuan Qi kept provoking Xie Xuan, but Xie Xuan's fists were clenched until they turned white, and he showed no intention of resisting.
