Very coquettish.

Seeing Wen Yu coming out with Xiao Ji and Laba, his face was full of smiles: “Girl!”

There was a brand new car parked at the door.

The carriage from his hometown had not been brought to the capital, so Li Yuanji bought a new one.

The driver found an old man who was familiar with the road conditions.

Wen Yu saw Li Jiang's big smile and smiled too, "Li Jiang, are you familiar with the capital?"

Li Jiang came with Master Qing. He said proudly: "To answer the girl's question, I know you well! Originally, Li Jiang would drive you, but my father said that he also has to do things for the girl, so he can't take care of both ends!"

Wen Yu got on the car, and Li Jiang followed the car on a donkey, chattering non-stop, "Girl, the shop we are going to open, Li Jiang has been to see it many times, oh, it's so grand! The location is second to none! Oh, girl, second to none is a Beijing dialect, and the meaning is as good as it can be! The house is big, with a second floor and a backyard!

Li Jiang asked around and found out that the shop there is not something you can buy with money. It is not easy to rent one! The original tenant made a lot of money and could afford the shop! Madam Qi is really generous to give it to you!"

"It's for your daughter to use, not given to her! Have you gone in to see?"

"Yes, I have seen it several times! The first time, I was taken there by someone arranged by Madam Qi! Master Qing has also been there several times! It's very close to the silver shop run by Master Song Wu! There are several silver shops nearby, it's very prosperous!"

"Oh? Where there are many silver shops, business must be good!"

Li Jiang never stopped talking along the way.

After walking for a while, the car stopped.

Laba and Xiaoji helped Wen Yu get out of the car. Li Jiang pointed over there and said, "Girl, go forward along this road, pass three intersections, and turn right, and you will find the Song family's house."

"How can it be so close?!" She had lived in that house in her previous life, but she didn't know its location.

"Isn't it?! The Song family's house has a humble front, but the house and garden inside are so nice! Much bigger than ours!"

Song Shang is still a commoner now, and with the way he does things, he will definitely not show off.

When he wanted to show off, he would probably book the first-class inn in Beijing: "Binzhi".

Li Jiang knocked on the door and the man who opened it was named Zhang Zhu, the family that Song Shang had lent her.

Seeing that Wen Yu found it easy to use, Song Shang sent his family over.

Zhang Zhu is a quiet man who knows a little bit of martial arts, and his whole family works very hard.

After entering the gate, there is a courtyard, clean, quiet and transparent.

"The front yard is where the embroiderers and a few young girls live. They usually work in the front living room. Master Lanzhou lives in the small side yard in the middle. Miss Yan, Miss Mu, and Master Qing live in the back yard. The kitchen is next to the back yard."

Hearing the voices, Li Yuanji, Master Qing and others came out to greet Wen Yu.

Suddenly a group of people came out...all of them were smiling.

Wen Yu asked everyone if they were used to living in the capital, and everyone said it was great.

Yan Zhu heard the sound and ran over.

"Ayu!" He came up and hugged Wenyu.

"Zhuzhu, are you cold wearing so little?" Wen Yu touched her little hand.

"It's not cold inside, but it's cold outside. Let's go inside quickly..." Yan Zhu pulled Wen Yu back.

"How is Lan Zhou?" Wen Yu asked as they walked.

Master Qing followed behind and said, "After arriving, he was examined by a doctor. The doctor said he was fine and prescribed three tranquilizers. He did not leave the house. The two turtles refused to eat, drink or move after arriving here.

Master Lanzhou was anxious, so Manager Li explained for a long time: He said that turtles don’t move in winter. They will move when the weather warms up. He watched over them every day... According to Li Tan, they don’t eat much, but they sleep well.

Wen Yu said, "He has come such a long way and is in such an unfamiliar environment. It's good that he didn't get sick. Just take care of him slowly."

Entering the main room in the backyard, there were many boxes piled up that had not been sorted out yet.

A few people sat down, and Yan Zhu said, "There are a lot of rooms, but we are all crowded together! Otherwise, how many fires would we have to cook?"

Li Yuanji said, "Song Wuye's house has a few kitchen helpers. They said Song Wuye will not come to Beijing until after the New Year, so they are asked to work here first. So, the chef has not gone out to find help yet."

Yan Zhu said: "The food they cook is not tasty. Let them build a small kitchen. Ayu, I will cook for you every day from now on!"

"We are going to open a restaurant, and you need to take in apprentices."

"Oh, I'm OK at this, but I can't teach apprentices like Master Qing! Lingling, make some tea quickly."

"Hey!" Mu Ling has changed a lot and is very lively.

Yan Zhu put the snacks on the small table, and saw Li Jiangmo go over, grab a handful and run away.

Wen Yu smiled, "I'm not that particular. But if we want to open a restaurant, I'm afraid it's indispensable."

"I've already bought it and found someone. When Master Qing came, he also brought some seeds. We can only plant it in the spring."

"You only bought one yard? Didn't you say you would buy another one for your uncle to live in?"

"When I came to the capital, I went to look for my uncle."

"How is it?!" Wen Yu was very concerned.

"My uncle is not in good health and has not taken up an official post. He usually helps Lord Mo with official duties, and is considered an aide. Lord Mo has arranged my uncle's academic record. He said that my uncle has some foundation in academic studies, but he was delayed. He barely passed the Tongsheng exam last time. As for Xiucai... he said that he still needs to improve.

My uncle rented a yard near Lord Mo's house. With Lord Mo's care and the money you gave me before, I can live a good life.

I asked around secretly and only heard that the eldest grandmother was very troublesome and would make a scene from time to time. She always angered my uncle's wife because she had a son. It was said that she had some unpleasant experiences with Lord Mo's family.

Another thing is... that young man was a little naughty, he didn't study seriously, and he went out to gamble with others. He was caught by my uncle and was beaten up, and my uncle's wife was so angry that she became sick. It was said that he got better after the beating, but I checked privately and found that he just did it in a more covert way.

Our uncle and his family have come to visit us. I told him about your plan to buy a house for him and asked him what he wanted. But he disagreed. He said it would be convenient to live next to Mr. Mo, so he wouldn't have to run around every day.

Another thing is, as your uncle, he can’t help you with your dowry, but he can’t cause you any more trouble…

Oh, I also told my uncle about your engagement! He was very happy and asked Lord Mo to inquire about the Qi family for a long time! He also wanted to go and see the fifth son of Qi, but he didn't see him. My uncle was very anxious. After Lord Mo inquired, he was also very happy and said that you came to the capital and invited you to be his guest! "

Wen Yu nodded, thinking that the situation was probably similar to what she thought.

"Go talk to my uncle. I'll be there in the next two days. Don't tell the Wen family about this yet! Wait until I have sorted out everything..."

My uncle didn't make it, but my father is doing very well.

Why should we give the Wen family the opportunity to show off in front of our uncle?

Then, Li Yuanji introduced the general situation of the capital and several popular occupations.

He also specifically talked about Madam Qi's shop, praising it highly. "Having a shop like this in the capital is really a great way to make a living! I heard that it was Madam Qi's dowry. The Cui family really loves their daughter!"

"You only have one daughter, Xiaoji, so you have to prepare the dowry early!" Wen Yu joked.

Xiaoji looked at her father eagerly. Li Yuanji laughed and said, "If she can get married, I will give her a generous dowry."

"Your eldest son hasn't married yet!" Li Jiang muttered in a low voice: He's not young anymore! But... it's too troublesome to get married! It's better to wait until he gets along well with the girl and becomes a rich man... Or, flatter the girl's handsome husband, maybe he can even get a job as an official! Oh, that would be great.

Then, marry a good one.

Yeah! That's the idea!

Everyone was talking about business, but Li Jiang was dreaming.

After Li Yuanji finished his introduction, Master Qing talked about what he was doing. "I taught a few embroiderers new things. They were all very happy and said they would do a good job for the girls. I will tell you more about the other girls later. In short, they are all good."

"I've been to the shop several times, and also visited other shops for reference. These..." Master Qing took out a thick stack of papers, "are some of my new ideas, business features, etc. I've even picked out the furniture configuration. The young lady has good taste, so these are for her to stimulate her thinking."

"Okay." Wen Yu took it.

"Last time, you said... that you don't have to worry about money when doing things, so I... didn't hesitate. If I want to pursue this style, the things I use can't be bad. When you count it up, it does cost a lot of money! I'm a little worried. If the business can't keep up, I'll lose a lot..." Master Qing's face turned red. He was under a lot of pressure.

"Master Qing, you don't have to do this! You have to remember: making money is important. But it is more important for me to have a place in the capital with this!"

"You mean..."

"I'm a woman, how can I make a living with so much money in my hand?!" Just the 400,000 promised by Song Shang, how many noble ladies in the capital can afford such a sum?

"This place of ours is to help me stand up!"

Master Qing suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder..."

We need to build a place to entertain ladies and girls, where they can drink tea, chat, shop, and socialize. This is equivalent to moving all the things in the backyard here.

Moreover, the socializing in the harem is limited: it is usually done with people you know and have useful relationships with. For some families, you have to be careful not to let others know when you are interacting with them...

But here, even if you don’t know each other or can’t socialize with each other, you will meet and become familiar with each other.

Now that we are familiar with each other, what can’t happen?

What news can't be obtained? Everything is still natural!

It turns out that I was just thinking too simply. This girl has such a big heart!

Master Qing looked at Wen Yu with sharp eyes.

A gentle smile...
