Chapter 521 Framed
Shen Junshan nodded.
"I do have this idea, but I'll have to discuss the specifics with Zheyuan in Yunlu City tomorrow."
Mu Chunping continued,
"Big brother, I'll go with you."
Shen Junshan shook his head.
“Chunping, this matter is of great importance, and I cannot involve you and the Mu family in it.”
Besides, Ningbao is in Beijing. With Ningbao there, what are you worried about?
"Once the situation in the capital stabilizes, you can bring your family to the capital."
The next morning, Shen Junshan went to Yunlu City.
Gu Zheyuan and Shen Junshan discussed the matter in the study for a long time, and their expressions relaxed considerably when Shen Junshan left.
...................
At this time, the capital city was bustling with activity once again.
Because of Zhou Chengxing's warning to the Liu family, several officials who were close to the Liu family were brought down.
In Beijing, where shops were once extremely scarce, there have recently been more shops available for sale.
Ning Bao brought plenty of money today, ready to buy any suitable item.
Today's harvest was indeed quite good; Ningbao directly acquired three large shops.
Once the shop was chosen, the matter of handling the paperwork was handed over directly to Steward Zhou.
Ning Bao, accompanied by Leng Xue, Leng Wu, and An Di Leng Bing and Leng Shuang, strolled through the streets. She hadn't had a proper look around the capital since arriving.
Having found a suitable shop today, Ningbao was in a good mood. She waved her hand and addressed the maids.
"Today, it's my treat from your master. Buy whatever you like."
Leng Xue looked at Ning Bao happily after hearing this.
"Master, can we really buy whatever we want?"
Ning Bao patted his purse arrogantly.
"Of course it's true."
Your master is always a man of his word. Tell me, little Xue'er, what do you want?
Leng Xue pointed somewhat embarrassedly to a shop that looked rather luxurious not far away.
"My lady, I heard that Yunxia Pavilion has recently acquired a lot of new rouge and face powder."
As you know, I usually love these things, so I wanted to go and take a look.
We're in the capital now, which is nothing like Izumo Village. In Izumo Village, the master could do whatever he wanted to be comfortable.
But most people in the capital are snobbish and look down on others. Every day, I have to dress my mistress up so beautifully that I dazzle them.
Ning Bao looked at Leng Xue with a hint of helplessness.
“I told you to buy something for yourselves, and now you're thinking about me again.”
However, Yunxia Pavilion is definitely worth a visit. I've heard it's very popular, and since we're in business too, we can go and see if there's anything we can learn from it.
Ning Bao looked at the Yunxia Pavilion not far away with envy. Look how grand that shop is! Two floors, four large rooms, and rows of carriages parked at the entrance—that's all money...
Leng Xue is usually in charge of Ning Bao's makeup, jewelry, and clothing.
In other words, Leng Xue was responsible for everything Ning Bao wore, used accessories, and applied to her face.
As soon as Leng Xue entered Yunxia Pavilion, her eyes were drawn to the rouge and face powder displayed in the counter.
"Boss, is this rouge new? Can I take a look?" Leng Xue pointed to a delicate little porcelain jar inside the counter.
The shop assistant looked at Leng Xue and Ning Bao behind her. Although Ning Bao and her servants looked unfamiliar, their demeanor and attire clearly indicated that they were not girls from ordinary families.
The waiter immediately and attentively brought over what Leng Xue wanted to see and handed it to her.
"Girl, you have good taste."
This is our store's latest rouge...................
Just as Leng Xue was diligently trying out the rouge, a round-faced girl walked over carrying a porcelain jar.
Because the round-faced girl kept turning her head to look at the goods in the counter, she didn't even look where she was going.
So when he passed by Leng Xue, he crashed straight into her.
"Smack!"
The porcelain jar in the round-faced girl's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
She immediately panicked; this was the latest cosmetic her young lady had just bought.
Moreover, this is the only jar left today. Now that the cosmetics have been broken, the young lady will surely skin her alive.
She couldn't bear this responsibility. She looked up at the person she had bumped into; he looked like a servant and was a stranger.
She was one of the most important people in her mistress's eyes, and she often went out with her mistress.
She recognized all the maids around the ladies and young women in the capital who she couldn't afford to offend, but this one looked completely unfamiliar; she must be a servant from a humble family.
She had a sudden inspiration and pointed at Leng Xue.
"How could you be so careless? This cosmetic was just bought by my young lady, and you actually broke it..."
