In her hand was a thick stack of papers, which were the schematic diagrams of the shop that Mrs. Qi had drawn for her and that she would soon run.
The location, layout, area, architectural style, size of the backyard, etc. were all drawn in detail. What business was it originally doing, and even the famous shops she knew were listed one by one.
There are even price differences between Beijing and here, style trends, etc. Everything you can think of is written down.
Wen Yu's eyes turned red at that moment.
Mrs. Qi comforted her, saying that this was nothing...she had plenty of property! She asked Wen Yu to work hard.
She wanted to let the whole capital know that she had married a good daughter-in-law! And she promised that she would bring in a lot of business...
It didn't feel real until Wen Yu sat in the car.
Why is she so nice to herself?!
Wen Yu had tears in her eyes, but a smile on her lips. She swore secretly: As the saying goes, if you love someone, you will love his dog too. Even for Madam Qi, I will be more tolerant of her son and treat him very well! Xiao Ji asked, "What's wrong with you, girl?"
Wen Yu didn't want more people to know about the courtyard's affairs, so when she went out recently, she only brought Xiaoji with her.
"It's okay... I'm fine." She said softly, "Come on, let's go to Zhuzhu's place!"
Now that you have taken over, you must prepare...
The man at the door saw her coming and smiled as he wanted to talk. Wen Yu quickly signaled him to be quiet: she wanted to see how the daily life in this courtyard was.
I went in quietly and went around to the backyard. Master Qing and Yan Zhu were sitting under the porch. The two were talking and laughing quietly, with work in their hands. It seemed that Master Qing was teaching Yan Zhu how to embroider.
Her complexion had recovered, and she had regained her former tranquility. Perhaps she was no longer depressed, and her demeanor was even better than before... Next to the stunning beauty Yan Zhu, they were both very charming and did not give in to each other! Wen Yu hid there and watched, and suddenly thought: Is the Xiuyun Aunt mentioned by Madam Qi the same as Master Qing? She was not that beautiful, but when she sat there, she looked indescribably pretty.
Under the tree in the yard, Lan Zhou sat on a small stool, with a large basin of water under his feet and a large stone beside him. Two turtles were lying on the stone basking in the sun.
He no longer needed to take any medicine on his face, leaving only a light pink scar. It looked like it would heal over time.
His eyes were fixed on the turtle and his expression was very relaxed.
The courtyard was filled with a harmonious scene, and Wen Yu felt relieved. "Zhuzhu, Master Qing! Lan Zhou!"
Yan Zhu and Master Qing turned around, then stood up and took it with a smile.
"Ayu, why are you here at this time? Have you eaten?" Yan Zhu was most concerned about whether she had eaten well and dressed well...
"I just came out from Madam Qi's place and had dinner. Lan Zhou, have you named your little turtle?"
Lan Zhou glanced at her without saying anything.
"Does Lan Zhou know how to feed the baby?" she asked Yan Zhu.
Yan Zhu said: "He can't do it yet. But every afternoon, when he bathes the turtles, he can take them and put them in the basin."
"Ouch, don't let them bite you." Wen Yu said.
Lan Zhou heard this and pursed his lips.
"They are very well behaved and don't bite people. We gave them names, Pingping and An'an. They sound nice, right?" Yan Zhu gave the turtles the correct names.
"That sounds good. We are all safe. Come on. We have something serious to discuss!"
Wen Yu spread out the paper in her hand. "Mrs. Qi has two large shops in the capital, and the lease expires in half a year. After that, she will hand them over to me."
Master Qing was surprised, "Really?" The daughter-in-law hasn't even entered the house yet, and the mother-in-law wants to hand over the family property? How can there be such a good thing in the world? Yan Zhu was silly and happy: "That's great! We were talking about what to do when we got to the capital! It's really like someone gave you a pillow when you are sleepy! Hehe, it saves money. Let me take a look at the shop... Oh, this is painted by Madam Qi?"
Master Qing looked at Yan Zhu, shook his head and smiled: "Miss Wen, Madam Qi really doesn't treat you as an outsider!"
"Haha." I think so too! Wen Yu said: "So, we have to prepare in advance. Madam Qi told me in detail that this is the most prosperous street in the capital. There are shops and courtyards. She said that such shops cannot be bought even with money. Master Qing, I have to ask you to prepare some manpower."
"Young lady, are you going to open an embroidery shop?"
"Zhuzhu said that if we women want to do things, we can't do without food and clothing."
Master Qing was not afraid when he heard this, but was very excited: "Miss Wen, Cailuan Pavilion was originally just a small grocery store. I took it over and slowly grew it to its current size. In fact, I still have many good ideas to make money, but if I want to do it, I must invest money first. Being in the Liu family is limited! I gradually lost my spirit. If I help you, I will bring out all these ideas!"
"Great! I didn't expect that I would need Master Qing so soon. Now that we have a shop, we have money, and fabrics...my cousin has connections with many weaving workshops. We can get the latest and most special ones."
Master Qing thought and said, "As for the embroiderers, there are several in Cailuan Pavilion. One is dumb, one has a mole on her face, and the other is a young widow. Although they all have disabilities, they are clever, work meticulously, and are not afraid of hard work.
Wen Yu thought of what Song Shang said, don't open a small shop to disgust people...Okay, then let's open a big one! "Master Qing, if we are going to open one, let's open the most luxurious and impressive embroidery shop in the capital. Let those who don't have money dare not come in and take a look!"
Hahahaha, several people laughed.
Liu Lanzhou looked over quietly, then turned his head and gently moved the little turtle's tail. The little turtle immediately retracted its head and limbs into its shell...
"I got excited when the girl said that!" Master Qing has a rich imagination and sweat is coming out on his forehead.
"In addition, I have another idea!" Wen Yu said, "I want to create a place where female guests can chat, drink tea, discuss matters, look at clothes, and talk about jewelry. Business can be done while chatting and socializing."
"Girl, I know something about what you are talking about... My hometown is affluent and the people are civilized. There are places like this where women can go to learn something, listen to music, and watch dances. Of course, there are all kinds of things for sale! There are expensive ones, and there are also cheap and fun ones. Many of them are from foreign countries. Moreover, some require a sum of money before you can enter. Now that you mention it, I have to think about it carefully..."
"Yes, yes, something like this. For example, the cousin of the Song family has some very nice jewelry and interesting things. Then, we can sell his things on his behalf..." Oh, why is it him again? Well, at worst, I can give him some shares.
"It's just that each place has its own customs. This is the capital after all. I have to understand all the rules thoroughly."
"Yes, yes, that's it."
"In the next two days, let Xiao Jiniang find a middleman. Master Qing, you can choose it yourself. We need to train our staff. Later, let the outsiders at the door take a look and rent a yard nearby."
"yes."
"In a few days, Madam Qi will leave. This time, I want Steward Li to go with Madam Qi. He has banknotes on him, so it will be safer for him to go with them. I originally planned to let you go with us... but now it seems that it may not be in time. And Lan Zhou... he is not stable yet, so it is difficult to move. But you must go earlier than me."
"Ayu, Zhuzhu, let's go together!? I want to be with you on the way."
"Of course I want to go this way with you..." Wen Yu touched her little face...
When Master Qing heard that he was about to go to Beijing, he felt yearning and worried...
"Girl, there's something..." She was embarrassed.
"Master Qing, just say whatever you want to say."
"I want to... find Master Song Wu and ask him for help. Actually, it's about the letter I asked you to deliver last time..."
"oh……"
"Girl, that man is my eldest brother's only son. He is my only relative. I asked you to write to him because I was afraid that he would not know anything about me. He replied calmly: If I have no joy in life, why should I fear death? In everything, just do your best.
I thought it was a farewell, but I didn't expect that I would meet the girl and encounter such a situation. Normally, with his status, it would be very inappropriate for him to beg the girl. "
"Master Qing, there is no need to do this. If you can use silver to redeem him, I can help to a great extent."
Master Qing shook his head, "I'm afraid they won't let him go easily... So, I want to ask Master Song Wu for help."
"Well, I'll contact my cousin then!"
"Thank you, young lady. I'll take a good look at these things later..."
"I'll leave it here for you first. You can take a look at it first. We can discuss and work together."
…
"As the saying goes, if you love someone, you love his dog too. Even if it's for Madam Qi, I will be more tolerant of her son and treat him very well!"
Qi Xiaowu sings: Are all the vows we made in the past falling like flying flowers?
I have some bad news: my computer is broken. I asked the guy who repairs computers downstairs to come and fix it. He said he would reinstall the system. I agreed...
The result is: Not installed!
I think I need to go to a Dell repair center.
Fortunately, the old computer was not processed. It had not been turned on for two years. It was used again. You can imagine...
Although it is slow and unclear, the old horse is still waiting for the stable...
It's not easy to use, so I can only try my best...
