Chapter 352: A Dagger Stabbed in the Heart
Chu Yunzhao laughed.
"You have improved a lot. You have even learned the methods of the women in the inner chambers and know how to give people a taste of their own medicine."
Since Luo relied on her beauty and unscrupulous means to get the womanizer King Qi into her hands, it would be helpful for her to see how others used the same means to take the King Qi away from her.
The reason why Chu Jinnian wanted to go back to Prince Qi's mansion tonight was probably not to see what Prince Qi was up to, but mainly to see Luo's dejected and helpless look.
Who knows, it might stab you in the heart a few more times.
Tsk tsk, don’t mess with Chu Jinnian.
"Mutual." Chu Jinnian glanced at Chu Yunzhao.
Chu Yunzhao clearly had the same plan just now.
Chu Yunzhao felt a little guilty when he was looked at. He just touched his nose and sighed, "You look serious all day long, but you look more mature than me. If we two stand together, I really can't tell who is the cousin."
In terms of actual age, Chu Yunzhao is four months older than Chu Jinnian.
"I don't mind this." Chu Jinnian put his hands behind his back and left Qing'an Garden.
"Hey...you..."
Chu Yunzhao was so anxious that he wanted to chop off his feet.
You don't mind, right? You are originally his cousin and also his cousin's cousin. If you are mistaken for him, he will only take advantage of you.
"Fourth Prince, the Imperial Concubine has sent someone to invite you to dinner, and she also said that Princess An Ning is here too."
A maid came to report.
Princess An Ning was the daughter of Concubine Hui and the younger sister of Chu Yunzhao.
But even though she was her biological sister, in this palace with strict rules, the two of them did not see each other often, and this time they had not seen each other for more than a month.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Chu Yunzhao smiled and responded when he heard his sister was there, and went into the inner hall to change into new clothes. —— He was busy at home for two consecutive days.
Zhuang Qingning set out for the county town that day. His main purpose was to find Cheng Ruize, who had come to discuss the preserved egg business before, and to discuss the details of the newly established shop.
Before going to look for Cheng Ruize, Zhuang Qingning went to find Zhuang Yutian first.
Looking at the recent issue of the mosquito repellent herbal bags, I am planning to have him go along with me to check things out.
Zhuang Yutian was both surprised and delighted when Cheng Ruize personally came to Zhuang Qingning to look for cooperation.
"The Cheng family has a lot of business. If you can get in touch with them, you won't have to worry about opportunities."
"I also know the Third Young Master of the Cheng Family you mentioned. He is in charge of the business in the county. Although he is young, he has some skills in doing business. The herbal medicine store took the initiative to come to us earlier, and later I heard from the shopkeeper Qian that it was the Third Young Master's idea."
"I also heard others talking about how the Third Young Master is just young and has just gained some experience. If he can take over all these businesses in the future, the business in Zeng County will also be handed over to him."
"The Cheng family has been planning to develop vigorously in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas in the past two years. Their business will be even bigger in the future."
Zhuang Yutian smiled and said, "Seeing how happy I am, I have said so much, it is a bit messy, but Ning girl, you only need to remember one thing, follow the Cheng family, and you will have no worries about business in the future."
"I'd like to borrow Uncle Yutian's good words first." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.
"Well, this is not borrowing my good words, but I am borrowing your favorable conditions right now." Zhuang Yutian waved his hand and said with a smile.
His cloth shop is not that good in the county, but at least it is not as good as those big shops with a long history. But it is not particularly bad either, and it can support his family and make some money.
But now, the money he made from helping Zhuang Qingning sell the mosquito repellent herbal bags was more than what he made from selling cloth in a year. Wasn't it because of Zhuang Qingning's influence? "It's a mutual thing. I have things but no market, and Uncle Yutian can help sell them. It's the best of both worlds." Zhuang Qingning smiled and looked at the shop where the shop assistants were moving things back and forth, and said with a smile, "Are they new goods?"
"Well, the weather is getting colder, so I need to buy some materials for autumn and winter clothes. I'm going to sell some cloth during this period."
The weather is cooler and there are fewer mosquitoes. Apart from the mosquito repellent herbal bags supplied to Chengji Medicinal Materials Store to sell in the south, the sales of the herbal bags here have dropped a bit.
This was originally a cloth shop, selling cloth.
"Because of the mosquito repellent herbal bags that I bought before, my cloth shop has attracted many repeat customers. This year's business is definitely much better than last year. Just look at the people who come to make clothes and buy cloth these days to know."
"It's about time. Since the shop is on West Street, shall I go with you to take a look?"
"Okay." Zhuang Qingning nodded.
Zhuang Yutian asked the clerk and Mrs. Meng to look after the shop, and he and Zhuang Qingning walked out of the shop and headed towards West Street.
Zhuang Qingning had been to the county town several times before, but each time he came for something and his purpose was very clear. He had almost no free time to stroll around here, so he rarely walked to West Street.
When we got here, we looked at the shops lining both sides of the road and the various stalls. It was indeed as Cheng Ruize said, there was a stronger atmosphere of life here, and what they sold were daily necessities, as well as various foods and ingredients.
The shops are not very eye-catching, but judging by the bustling crowds, they should be quite profitable.
Soon, Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Yutian arrived at the shop that Cheng Ruize mentioned.
The shop was being renovated. The entrance was cleaned and painted. The sign above the shop was empty and the door was half blocked. One could see people coming in and out, busy as they were.
Seeing Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Yutian pausing at the door, a waiter walked out quickly, "Are these two Zhuang shopkeepers?"
"Oh?" Zhuang Qingning looked at the young man, who looked very smart despite his young age, and laughed, "Do you recognize us?"
The clerk shook his head, smiling, "My boss told me that the boss Zhuang will come to discuss the shop today, so I should wait here. If he comes, I will go and call him."
"Although the shopkeeper didn't describe what Shopkeeper Zhuang looked like, he did say that Shopkeeper Zhuang was from the same hometown as Shopkeeper Zhuang of Zhuangji Cloth Shop in the county. I saw this Shopkeeper Zhuang, and I thought that the young woman who came with this Shopkeeper Zhuang must be the Shopkeeper Zhuang that my shopkeeper mentioned."
He is indeed a very smart guy and seems very honest.
It turns out that the kind of shopkeeper you are will determine the kind of shop assistants you will have.
Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "Then please inform Manager Cheng. We have an appointment with Manager Cheng to discuss some matters in the shop today."
"I have just sent someone to invite the shopkeeper. Please go to the teahouse opposite to have some tea first."
