Chapter 497
Liu Yiyi's face suddenly turned red again. She had made a stupid mistake again. Now the shop only had soaps and scented soap essential oils, and the variety was very limited. She quickly explained: "Although the variety of items sold is still small now, there will definitely be more in the future. Let me recommend the soaps and scented soaps in the store to the two gentlemen..."
In order to cover up her stupidity, Liu Yiyi talked a lot about selling soap and perfumed soaps to the two handsome men. It's no wonder that she acted stupidly. Liu Yiyi explained to herself that these two gentlemen, one handsome and the other beautiful, were natural beauties without any artificial traces, and they looked so harmonious when standing together that people couldn't help but want to scream.
"Alie, why don't you buy some for each of them? The workers in the workshop also need some."
Jing Lie nodded: "I'll listen to you. Let's buy twenty each first. If they are useful, we can come back to buy more."
Liu Yiyi was so excited about the big business this time that her face turned red. She nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, the things in our shop are definitely good. If they're not good, you two gentlemen can come back and ask me to compensate you. I'll pack them for you two gentlemen."
After handing the packed items to the handsome man and taking the money they paid, Liu Yiyi watched the two pleasing men walk out. At this time, Shaoyao happened to come to bring food to Liu Yiyi and bumped into Yuan Jing head-on. Shaoyao was startled and quickly stepped back and called out, "Fourth Young Master..."
Yuan Jing really didn't know this girl. He just looked at her confusedly, then nodded and continued to leave.
Although I don't know her, I know that she must be a maid in the Yongyi Marquis's mansion.
But Liu Yiyi was extremely surprised. When Shaoyao came in, she asked, "Do you know that young master? Which family's fourth young master is he?"
Shaoyao was surprised and said, "Miss, you don't know? That's right, when Miss came, the Fourth Young Master had already moved out of the Bo Mansion."
"Ah, you said that the handsome young man just now is the fourth young master of the Bo Mansion, the cousin of the prince?"
Shaoyao nodded: "Yes, it is the Fourth Young Master. Although the Fourth Young Master looks very different after losing weight, I have seen the Fourth Young Master who lost weight before."
Liu Yiyi held her face and said, "Then the other young master is Jing Lie who is with the fourth young master?"
Shaoyao shook her head: "I don't know, I haven't seen it, but I haven't heard that the fourth young master has a new person around him. Now that man lives with the fourth young master in Zeng's house, and the cloth shop was also opened with the fourth young master's money."
Obviously, in Shaoyao's eyes, this man named Jing Lie is a gigolo.
Liu Yiyi almost screamed. She didn't expect it would be these two people. She didn't expect such a handsome man to be the legendary man who was living off the Fourth Young Master Zeng. But seeing the two of them standing together and discussing something, Liu Yiyi could tell that they were not in a relationship of one being dependent on the other. The young couple were living their life seriously. As for the original man, he was obviously a scum who deceived the Fourth Young Master's feelings.
Liu Yiyi asked Shaoyao about many stories about the Fourth Young Master and Jing Lie, and she listened with great interest. Especially when she heard that the Jing family was angry and expelled Jing Lie from the clan because he was with the Fourth Young Master Zeng, Liu Yiyi expressed indignation. The two of them being together was a hindrance to other people, and even the emperor didn't say anything. The Jing family took themselves too seriously.
She also felt that this couple was quite unusual in this ancient society. They completely ignored other people's opinions and only cared about living their own lives. In fact, this was exactly what she longed for.
Young Master Zeng looks so gentle, handsome and has a good temperament, but how could he be so unbearable in Zeng Yuanxin's mouth?
Comparing with the situation of the Fourth Young Master Zeng moving out of the Bo Mansion, Liu Yiyi once again confirmed that her decision to move out of the Bo Mansion was correct. If the Bo Mansion was really that good, why did the Fourth Young Master Zeng move out?
Liu Yiyi met the Fourth Young Master Zeng on the first day, but she didn't expect to be visited by his friends the next day. Liu Yiyi had heard a lot about the Fourth Young Master Zeng's cronies, but this time she didn't have a preconceived idea, because the Fourth Young Master Zeng she met yesterday was very different from what she heard from Zeng Yuanxin and others, so she decided to see it with her own eyes.
Li Yan and the other two believed in Yuan Jing's vision. Didn't they see that the two storybooks written by Yuan Jing were very popular? The cloth shop opened by Yuan Jing and Jing Lie was also booming, so the shop opened by Liu Yiyi that Yuan Jing saw must not be bad. It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide timely help. This should be the most difficult time for Liu Yiyi.
Liu Yiyi thought she had heard wrongly. These three playboys came to her because they wanted to join her business. For a moment, she even had a conspiracy theory because the three of them were good brothers with the Fourth Young Master Zeng, and she had come back with Zeng Yuanxin, and her stance was obviously opposed to that of the Fourth Young Master Zeng. They came to join her business with good intentions instead of stealing the soap formula?
But Li Yan and the other two took out a charter, which was the same as the one they had when they invested in Jinlie Cloth Shop before. All the rules and regulations were written clearly. This was what they called brothers having to settle accounts clearly. The three of them only had to pay the money and would not interfere in the management of the shop, nor would they ask about the production methods of items such as soap. The dividends would then be distributed according to shares, and if anything happened outside, they would take the blame for Liu Yiyi.
Of course, they also have their own requirements. They only want to cooperate with Liu Yiyi, not the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion or Zeng Yuanxin. If one day this shop no longer belongs to Liu Yiyi personally, they will withdraw their shares. If other people join the shop, the consent of the three of them must be obtained.
Liu Yiyi was stunned after reading this article. No matter how she looked at it, it seemed like it was meant to give her benefits and support. Among the three, Li Yan had the most profound background. His mother was a princess of the royal family and his father was the son of the Duke of Zhenguo. His background was much deeper than Zeng Yuanxin and the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion. Moreover, the former was valued by His Majesty, while the latter had lost face in front of His Majesty and was demoted.
Liu Yiyi was puzzled and asked, "Why did you come to me? Is it because of the Fourth Young Master Zeng?"
Xia Zhou said straightforwardly, "There is a reason for this, because Fourth Brother told us that he is very optimistic about your business methods. We told Fourth Brother about how you sell soap and perfumed soap, and he praised you. Of course, if you just want to rely on the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, then just pretend that we are not here today."
Liu Yiyi was very touched. She had been running so much that her legs were about to break, but no one paid any attention to her. Shaoyao had advised her privately, saying that the prince would be unhappy if he knew that she was so out in public and interacting with men outside the family. Zeng Yuanxin was still unhappy because she insisted on moving out of the Earl's Mansion. Apart from asking someone to send things over, he didn't even show up. She was under a lot of pressure at that time, but she didn't expect that there would be someone who understood her and was optimistic about her way of doing things. It was worth it.
A gentleman will die for his friend. She didn't understand it in the past, but now she was touched by this little thing.
"Is it true that the Fourth Young Master Zeng is not here to take revenge on the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion?" Liu Yiyi asked worriedly. Knowing the situation in the Marquis' Mansion, she would not make a single mistake if the Fourth Young Master Zeng wanted to take revenge on the Marquis' Mansion. However, she and Zeng Yuanxin had been together for a year and almost got married. Relationships cannot be given up just like that. She could not stand on the side of the Fourth Young Master Zeng and take action against Zeng Yuanxin.
Xia Zhou laughed, "Miss Liu's words make sense. Fourth brother said that he is optimistic about Miss Liu's business ability and wants us three brothers to share a piece of the pie. Secondly, he really doesn't want Miss Liu to become Zeng Yuanxin's helper and let the money Miss Liu earns add bricks and tiles to Zeng Yuanxin. For these two reasons alone, we don't want to use Miss Liu to do other things to Zeng Yuanxin. Or does Miss Liu want the shop she has worked so hard to run to become the property of Zeng Yuanxin or the Yongyi Marquis's mansion?"
Yuan Jing asked Xia Zhou to speak out these words. If Liu Yiyi asked him out of concern, Xia Zhou thought to himself that Fourth Brother had mentioned all of Miss Liu's concerns. If both parties were frank, it would only make Miss Liu feel more at ease.
Fourth brother laid all these plans out in the open, speaking them out clearly, and believed that Miss Liu would choose their side, even if she knew about these plans, because Fourth brother was using an open strategy.
Liu Yiyi didn't expect that they would openly tell her about this plan, but even if she knew, she could only smile bitterly. Wasn't she worried about this? But now she had no time to take care of these things. The business hadn't even started yet, so she had to consider things that would happen in the long run?
But Liu Yiyi was very moved by what Xia Zhou and the others said. She said she needed to think about it for a few days before giving a reply, and Li Yan and the others all agreed.
After Liu Yiyi returned, she locked herself in her room and worked while thinking about the suggestions of Li Yan and the others. Shaoyao was outside and called out, "The prince is here, Miss, Miss Liu, the prince is here."
Liu Yiyi's heart moved, she put down the work in her hands and walked out. Seeing Zeng Yuanxin striding towards her, Liu Yiyi was still a little excited.
Zeng Yuanxin walked up to Liu Yiyi, reached out and grasped her hands, his eyes flashing with tenderness and distress: "Yiyi, thank you for your hard work. Don't worry, my determination will not change. Mother has also been a little relentless. I just came back and have too many things to do. I can't spare much time to come and see you, Yiyi."
Liu Yiyi was excited at first, and she understood Zeng Yuanxin's dilemma. As the eldest son of the Earl's family, it was indeed very difficult for him to marry a village girl like herself. But when her eyes fell on a certain position, the excitement in her eyes gradually subsided, and her smile became lighter, but after a while she showed a happy look again.
Zeng Yuanxin accompanied Liu Yiyi to have a meal in this house before leaving for the Bo Mansion. Before leaving, he asked Shaoyao to take good care of Liu Yiyi, and Liu Yiyi personally sent him out.
When Liu Yiyi turned around, the expression on her face became extremely cold, and she locked herself in the room to do her work.
She saw a bright red mark on Zeng Yuanxin's neck, which was the mark left by the woman's lip balm. How could she trust Zeng Yuanxin like this? At this time, she remembered that it was very normal for men to have wives and concubines in this era, and it was too easy for mothers-in-law to use their natural status to create trouble for their daughters-in-law.
Maybe this is just a trick played by the lady of the baron.
The next day, Liu Yiyi found Xia Zhou and wanted Xia Zhou to help her investigate something. Xia Zhou readily agreed.
That day, the thing Liu Yiyi wanted to know was finally answered. After seeing the results of the investigation, Liu Yiyi wanted to make a sarcastic expression, but in the end, what she showed was a wry smile.
Lady Bo gave Zeng Yuanxin two beautiful, gentle and considerate maids, saying that Zeng Yuanxin was not young anymore, and if he had not gone to the border, he would have married, had children and become a father by now. Zeng Yuanxin accepted the two maids because his mother said she would consider his relationship with Liu Yiyi.
This was such a normal thing for men of this era. Maybe in the eyes of others Zeng Yuanxin had deep feelings for her, but Liu Yiyi couldn't be happy. What she wanted was not only the identity and position of the legal wife, but also that her man could not have any other woman, not even a maid, otherwise she would feel dirty.
