Chapter 477 Xiao Wenyin Extra (4)
Mo Chen first rented a small shop in the corner of a commercial street in the capital and started with the simplest fabric business.
Firstly, the fabric will not deteriorate because it cannot be sold, and secondly, its price is stable, which is especially suitable for beginners.
Of course, the money earned may not be much, so I should be thankful if I can transfer the rent back at the beginning.
After his shop opened, there was a constant stream of people coming to the store to look at the goods.
Most of them were his former classmates, some came to laugh at his jokes, but some came to support his business.
There were even officials who wanted to join the Xia family and came to him specifically to take care of their business.
Under their "care", the silent little business is booming.
Almost everyone who knew him had been here... except Xiao Wenyin.
Perhaps, as a fortune teller, she also looks down on her as a businesswoman.
…
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" A clear and melodious voice forced Silent to look up.
He was so familiar with this voice, it was actually Xiao Wenyin!
"Why are you here suddenly?" Silently surprised.
Xiao Wenyin walked into his shop carelessly: "Can't I come? Why do you seem quite surprised?"
She held up a piece of brown fabric and asked, "Is it okay to touch it?"
"The shop has been open for three months, and you haven't been here once. I'm surprised that you came today." He said silently and honestly.
Xiao Wenyin glared at him. "Well, I've been in seclusion for three months, and you were completely unaware! If you ever come to my house to look for me, my parents will tell you I'm in seclusion!"
Silent blushed, a rare occurrence.
So they are both waiting for the other party to take the initiative?
Xiao Wenyin: "You still don't ask me what level I've reached in cultivation?"
Silence: "...What level have you reached in your cultivation?"
Xiao Wenyin: "I've already broken through to the third level. How's that? Impressive, right?"
"Great." He nodded silently, thinking to himself, you didn't even ask me how my business is going.
He didn't blame Wen Yin either, he would never blame Wen Yin.
"I don't have any business today, so why don't you go for a drink with me?" Xiao Wenyin asked.
"What did you say? Your parents allow you to drink?!" Mo Chen suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Of course not." Xiao Wenyin said indifferently, "My father will protect me anyway."
"Don't be silly. You shouldn't drink at your age." Mo Chen subconsciously wanted to touch her head like he used to, but quickly took it back.
It was only three months, but because of the different choices made by the two, everything seemed different.
I am still happy and comfortable in school.
Xiao Wenyin wanted to say something more when a few people walked into the shop quietly. They were so tall that they blocked out the sunlight outside in an instant.
“It’s you.” Shen Mo acknowledged the person coming out and blocked Xiao Wenyin behind him.
This is another cloth business on the street. They have the support of the Zhang family in the imperial court and have opened several branches. Their business has always been prosperous. They almost monopolize all the cloth business in the capital and even supply directly to the imperial palace.
But during this period, some officials came to Shenmo's store to buy goods in order to please the Xia family. This was not what Shenmo wanted, but he offended these people.
It clearly has little impact on them, yet they still insist on finding fault.
"What do you want to do here?" Silent asked with a frown.
A man wearing a hat and a short beard slowly stepped forward. "Hey, Boss Shen is so irritable, can't we just come and look at the goods?"
He didn't know what his hand had touched just now, but when he touched the cloth on the stone table, it actually left a black palm print.
"Oh, it was accidental, it was accidental, I'm sorry. Boss Shen won't ask me to compensate you, will he?" the man in the hat said deliberately.
Silently, his expression remained unchanged: "Twenty taels of silver, the cost price, just keep it."
"You dare to ask for twenty taels of silver for a piece of rag!" the man in the hat said angrily, "Then I'll take over your shop. Let's see how much silver you'll take?!"
He sneered as he finished, "Don't think your Xia family still has some status in the court. The old man of the Xun family is dead, and there is no one to join your Xia family. How can you compete with my Zhang family!"
"Smash it!" he roared.
"Who dares!" Xiao Wenyin grabbed Mo Chen's shoulders and pulled him back, standing in front. "Just try to smash one of them!"
"Little girl, don't be so arrogant!" A thug standing in the front came up and was about to lift the cloth.
But he was directly frozen by Xiao Wenyin.
"You dare to bully others in front of me? You must be tired of living!" She turned her hands over and made a gesture, and with two slaps, the faces of the two people standing in the front were swollen.
She turned around and put a talisman on the forehead of the man in the hat, and his body went out of control and beat up his accomplices.
The scene was in chaos.
"Fortune teller, this is a fortune teller!" someone shouted, "Run! Don't fight her!"
The man in the hat was much more astute: "What a fortune teller! The Imperial Observatory has established a rule that fortune tellers cannot use their physiognomy to bully ordinary people, otherwise they will go to jail!"
What a long time to go to jail! Not only did they go to jail for ganging up on people, but now they come back to criticize them?
Xiao Wenyin didn't argue with his logic, but just snorted: "Are you talking about the rules set by my uncle Jiji? Or... do you want to ask my parents, Xiao Yu, and Xu Chuchu?"
When they heard this, they were horrified. They could not afford to offend the Xia family, but they could not even touch Xiao Yu and Xu Chuchu. Even the emperor had to respect them.
"Get out of here now, do you want to be beaten?" Xiao Wenyin raised her hand again as if to attack.
Several people were so scared that they quickly took a few steps back.
"Is this little girl bluffing?" the man in the hat said as he retreated. "Maybe she's just trying to scare us!"
Another person next to him said, "It's genuine. I've seen the Xiao couple bring their daughter out before!"
"Then why the hell are you saying that now!"
…
A group of people ran away cursing, and the onlookers also quickly dispersed, fearing that they would be targeted by this young lady.
Xiao Wenyin clapped her hands cheerfully, turned around and said proudly, "Well, my cultivation is pretty good, isn't it? Fighting one against many is no problem... Oh, this piece of cloth is dirty, and I didn't ask them to pay for it."
Silent had been silent the entire time, but only then did he smile: "Why should I pay you back? You beat me up, so this money is just for them giving you sparring partners."
"Look at you, you insist on doing business without making any preparations." Xiao Wenyin taught him earnestly, "Now you're in trouble. Without me today, let's see what you'll do. I can't be with you every day."
Silent and then laughed: "Yeah, without you I would be in big trouble today."
Xiao Wenyin felt something was wrong when she heard it. They grew up together and their tempers were very familiar to each other.
"Wait, have you already prepared a countermeasure?" She reacted, "Okay, okay, if you have a way, you can still let me charge in the front!"
