Manager Li pointed it out to her and said:

"We have been purchasing goods these days. Yesterday, we installed the shelves for materials and the tables for small items. There are also tables and chairs upstairs. There are also a few screens, such as this lacquer screen... Tomorrow, there will be a lot of other things coming!"

"With so many things, you have to be careful with the care and candles."

"Don't worry..."

Wen Yu thought about it for a long time and had some new ideas in her mind.

When I left the store, I saw a flower farmer pushing a cart to sell azaleas. They were in full bloom.

So the flower farmer pushed the cart all the way to the Song family.

Song Shang was really at home. When he heard Wen Yu coming, he hurried out to greet her. "Why did you come without telling me? This is..."

"The flowers are blooming beautifully, so I'll send a few pots to my aunt."

"That's thoughtful!" Song Shang was very satisfied and ordered his servants, "Carry it in and ask the old lady to come to the yard to see the flowers!"

Wen Yu entered the courtyard, and Mrs. Song came out. When they met, she asked, "Yu girl, why are you here?"

"I came out of the shop and saw a flower seller on the roadside. He knew you liked them, so he sent a few pots over."

"Great! These flowers are blooming so beautifully! I'll put two pots of them outside my room!"

Mrs. Song was followed by Song Chihan, with a sullen look on her face, ignoring Wen Yu.

"Little darling, why don't you politely call for help?" Mrs. Song doted on her very much.

Song Chihan still didn't say anything. He went up and plucked the flowers and leaves together.

"This child...she didn't take a nap, so she might be a little fussy." Mrs. Song said.

Song Shang looked at Song Chihan with a gentle expression and didn't say anything to her.

Wen Yu looked at the flowers and leaves on the ground and felt disgusted, but then she thought: It’s okay, I will fix it for you when my stepmother comes home.

When my cousin has another son, hey, let's see where you will be! I had evil thoughts all my life, but I felt happy in my heart. "Have you slept for a while?"

"I leaned over for a while, but didn't fall asleep."

After entering the house, Wen Yu talked about the Zhang family's wedding. "Everything is going well! Mrs. Zhang will be going back soon! However, during this period, she said she wanted to look at a house and decide whether to rent or buy it in the end."

"Oh, do you want to go to Beijing?"

“That might be the idea!”

"That's great! We have a lot of acquaintances here, and we'll have someone to take care of us in Beijing."

"That's right! You didn't see it, Moqing wore a set of jewelry today, my God! There are more than ten pieces in front and back, and my neck is almost bent! She looks very arrogant!"

Mrs. Song laughed, "You! So exaggerated!"

"Really? It's obviously a gift from my mother-in-law. It's really a gift!"

"Don't be jealous! When you come in, she'll be your dear daughter-in-law, no more, no less!"

Wen Yu laughed: "I've asked someone about it. There will be a famous actor performing in Chang'an Theater in a few days. I'll go with you to watch the show then!"

Mrs. Song liked this very much, and she became even happier when she heard it.

After talking for a long time, Wen Yu said to Song Shang: "Cousin, I want to talk to you about the things in the shop!"

"Let's go to the study in the front!" He stood up and went out.

Wen Yu said goodbye to Mrs. Song, smiled at Song Chihan, and went to the front study.

"Cousin, the clothing shop will have all the supplies delivered in the next two days. I think I'll let a few embroiderers go in first, and then hire some more skilled ones to make some things to support the shop. Once the shop opens, there will be things to sell, and it will be more popular. As for the clothing business, we have Master Qing and a few embroiderers, and even those girls, they can basically handle it on their own, so I don't have to worry about it. As for the restaurant... I'm still a little uncertain."

Song Shang said: "I have told you once that Yan Zhu's dishes are indeed delicious. But they are not dishes that can be sold at high prices. How busy does she have to be to do good business?

I heard that she brought a few people with her, but they still haven't mastered the trick. Therefore, the output is very limited. In this case, isn't this shop a waste?"

"I've realized this, too. If that doesn't work, I'll just have my cousin's people. Yan Zhu's dishes will only be specialties for special guests. I'll wait until the people I have are trained up before I decide."

"Don't underestimate us! How many northern and southern dishes have I eaten? What haven't I seen? If I say it's good, it can't be wrong!" Song Shang rolled his eyes.

"Okay, okay! Cousin is the best! The pastry shop is easy to open. We just need to find a few suitable cooks to make it. Besides, the second floor of our clothing building is a teahouse for female guests... We need to make it a place that all the women in the capital are willing to go to."

"This idea is not bad after all!"

When Song Shang saw her off, he happened to see Madam Xu talking to her two sons at the gate. It looked like the Xu brothers were going out to do some business.

Seeing Song Shang and Wen Yu coming out, the three of them hurriedly bowed.

Ms. Xu is capable and polite.

Xu Dalang is gentle and well-behaved.

Xu Erlang, with his eyelids drooping, just bowed without saying a word.

Song Shang said to Wen Yu, "You go back first!"

"I remembered something else and I need to tell my cousin."

Madam Xu quickly saluted, "Fifth Master, they have to go out to do something!"

Song Shang nodded and they left.

"What else?"

"Xu Erlang, what are you asking him to do now?"

Song Shang looked at her solemnly, "Why did you mention him again?"

"Just tell me what your plan is."

"Last time, you mentioned Song Tao and him to me. I observed them secretly. Yes, they are very close. Moreover, Song Tao does like to pry into things and win people over with small favors. He works very hard! But you also know his status. In the Song family, he must be cautious, smooth, and work hard to have his position."

Wen Yu didn't say anything.

"Ayu, what do you mean? What did you know?"

"Look, he's good with Song Tao. And Song Tao, you also said that he has to work very hard to have a position in the Song family. But now that he has a position, he still wants a higher position?"

Song Shang squinted at Wen Yu.

"Then you will be his biggest obstacle!"

"How can Song Tao be so kind as to think this way?!"

"Why not? Some people have ambitions from the beginning. Some people develop them slowly. But no matter what, Madam Xu is the person who handles your confidential affairs, and she loves this son the most. If then..."

"Ayu, you're going too far." Song Shang didn't believe it at all. "Mrs. Xu's husband was loyal to me. He died for me..."

"That's right! If Xu Jilang thinks that everything you have today is because of his father's death, then tell me how you can repay him?!"

"That's not the case! His father is my bodyguard! He risked his life for me, but it was also his duty! Besides, I have been treating his family well for so many years..."

"Cousin, if everyone can understand things, then what disputes will there be in this world? Haven't you encountered such a thing?"

"This..." Song Shang was silent for a while, then he said, "Mrs. Xu is in charge of my guards and some miscellaneous matters. I think highly of her. Xu Dalang has a righteous heart and does things steadily. What do you think I should do?"

"Give him an official position! Promote him and give him a bright future! But in fact, it is to keep him away from your affairs."

She looked at Song Shang seriously: "Cousin, although you are doing well now, in fact, there are crises. For example, if Wei hooks up with someone, she may want revenge."

"Ayu, how do you know everything..."

"I witnessed what happened to the Wei family with my own eyes. I have already arranged for someone to investigate. I believe there will be news in the next few days. By then, you have someone in your hands who can follow up."

"Ayu! What do you do all day?"

Wen Yu didn't say anything.

"Look, you have Madam Qi and Wu Lang, and me... you have friends and property, so why are you still so worried?"

"Cousin, I don't want to say more. Just listen to me: First, send Xu Erlang away properly, so that he, Madam Xu, and Xu Dalang are all satisfied. Second, wait for my news and keep an eye on Wei."

Song Shang nodded, "It's not a big deal, do you need help?"

"Master Sun has brought some people here, and they are doing fine on a daily basis. I'll ask you for more when they're not enough!"

I sincerely thank all the stinky babies for their tips and votes!
