Chapter 36 Guests

The horses crossing Bianjing were too loud and the noise was too loud. Many people saw Cao Hua covered in blood, and the news was difficult to suppress.

In order to hide Xie Yijun's affairs, Cao Hua asked Han'er to report to the palace, saying that he had a "bloody battle with Xie Yijun for 300 rounds". Yanzhihu escaped seriously and he also suffered some skin injuries. As for the matter of stealing a good woman along the way, he naturally did not need to report.

Xie Yijun is not a person with a false reputation. After hearing this, the emperor did not blame him. He sent the eunuch to send some nourishing items to be a comfort. However, none of the five tigers in Liangshan had caught the rebels and ran away. He could not escape the dereliction of duty, so he deducted his salary for three months as punishment.

In the next few days, Xie Yijun did not wake up. Cao Hua was mentally exhausted and was recuperating in the mansion. He prepared the next stage of the shop. After all, no matter how difficult life is, he still had to earn money and eat food.

On Yanglou Street, Baibaozhai became the most beautiful shop on the entire street. It was crowded every day. In just half a month, the name Wanbaozhai was dug out. Unfortunately, the shopkeeper of Baibaozhai was not happy at this time.

"Xiao Susu, the shop is about to close, what should I do..."

On the second floor of Baibaozhai, the petite Miss Shen rolled around on the bed, and threw the account book all over the floor.

The 30% off sign was played, and the shop's inventory was cleared in just a few days. It was a path of small profits and quick turnover. It had a reputation, but it didn't earn any money at all. The expenses of the craftsman were paid out every day. In the first few days, she kept it in hiding it but didn't report it. The elders of the Shen family were very happy to see the booming business, so they hurriedly transferred several trucks of goods to come over, and without exception, Miss Shen cleaned it up. When the account room came to reconcile the accounts, they found that her lady was losing money and making a name for herself.

The Shen family has a great business, but the business is not done like this. Mr. Shen was furious and felt sorry for his daughter and was not easy to scold him. So he cut off the goods and sent two boxes of jewelry every day for her to sell. In this way, even the reputation of making it out was lost. The women who could not take advantage of the situation were scolding Bai Baozhai for being stingy and pretending to behave after hanging up the sign.

In the house, Su Xiangning looked at the pedestrians coming and going at the window, with a gentle smile: "You just picked up the brand, but now there is nothing to sell, so it's not good to hang it."

Shen Yu was angry when she heard this, and gritted her teeth and said, "No, the guy next door has not closed yet. He only needs to open one day, and I will let him not do business in one day."

Su Xiangning was quite helpless and stood up and poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Su Shi didn't target you. He sold a hairpin until now. There is no business at all. It's the same whether you hang a sign or not. What's the point of competing with him?"

It’s no problem. The high-quality route taken by Wanbaolou does not coincide with the consumer groups facing Baibaozhai. It does not affect each other’s normal sales, but instead can gain each other’s fame.

But Shen Yu swallowed the anger, and the three words on the sign made her feel like she was stuck in her throat, and she was in a state of being in a state of food and sleep.

"I insist on competing with him, who asked him to be called 'Wanbaolou'?" Shen Yu kicked the quilt and gritted his teeth, "Today I will go back to steal the keys in the warehouse. I will not piss off the one named Su to death. I will write the word Shen upside down."

I really stole the keys in the warehouse, and it was probably Mr. Shen who was angry to death.

Su Xiangning was quite helpless and patted her back: "Su Shi hasn't shown up for a long time, but he just found a few guys to watch the shop here. I think he was studying hard in the spring exam next year and he didn't have time to compete with you."

Chen Yu became more angry the more he heard it. He was already outspoken and turned his head to question: "Xiao Su, do you like that scholar? Why do you keep saying good things to him?"

Su Xiangning's expression froze, and a few of them became annoyed. She was born in a brothel and there was something like a bit of aquatic rhetoric about poplar flowers. It would be fine if ordinary people laughed it off. But when a friend asked this, he felt uncomfortable.

Chen Yu knew that he had made up his words, and then held her arm and rubbed it: "I don't mean that, the person named Su is not a good person. Don't be skewed by his sweet words."

"I know." Su Xiangning sighed quietly, without saying much.

While chatting, the maid Qingguo ran into the house and looked at the two ladies holding each other and said anxiously: "Miss is not good, someone ran to the next door to buy things."

"What!"

Chen Yu was so excited that he got up and almost forgot to wear his clothes. It was Su Xiangning who pulled her and forced her to wear them neatly before following her.

-----

Outside Baibaozhai, a carriage was parked at the door, and the old man with gray hair and kind eyebrows helped a woman in white get off the car with his hands. The woman's long black silk hair was combed into a drooping cloud bun, and two strands of hair were softly attached to both sides of her snow-white cheeks. Her complexion was as white as mutton fat jade, and the crystal jasper earrings swayed slightly with her footsteps. She was born with a bit of arrogance, which made people unable to feel like playing.

There were only two masters and servants in total, and they did not act like not being close to the birth. They could not hide their nobleness. Anyone with discerning eyes knew to avoid it.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper of Wanbaolou hurriedly ran out to stand in the team and said in a neat manner: "I have seen a lady, please come inside!"

The girl in white was stunned for a moment. This was the first time she saw such a small shop that was mobilizing.

The hunchbacked old man next to him had a hoarse voice: "No gift!"

The sound was not loud, but the guys shivered. They felt that the sound was scary and had more momentum than his own Cao Gong.

The girl in white looked at the signboard a few times and looked a little curious: "Jiu Nuer, what does 'private customization' mean?"

Xue Jiu was very humble in his attitude towards Princess Yong'an who came to Beijing to celebrate her birthday: "A small shop run by a foreigner, she didn't have much money and could only customize it in advance to make it "private customization". The old slave asked Cao Hua to check it out, and he was an honest person with a clean background."

When the royal nobles went shopping, they naturally had to find out where they were going to avoid accidents. The investigation was naturally handed over to Boss Cao to do, and the result was... They naturally praised their Wanbaolou for being amazing.

Princess Yong'an, who came to Beijing to celebrate her birthday, wanted to come out for a walk, so Eunuch Xue naturally came to this small shop according to her adopted son's recommendation.

In fact, Princess Yong'an Zhao Tianluo lived in Jiangnan since childhood. When she saw this unique shop, she really became curious and slowly entered the shop.

The shop was not big, and the only two hairpins left were even more shabby. Zhao Tianluo was a little disappointed at first, but after carefully looking at the flower and bird hairpin, he showed a surprising expression and picked it up and observed it carefully.

Xue Jiuquan looked at it for a few times and said in a gentle tone: "This shop is well-known and has great skills. Only a few skilled craftsmen in the palace can match it."

The words were not compliments. He was in charge of all the affairs of the palace. Even the emperor flipped the signs at night were handed over by him. He heard and understood the jewelry used by the palace ladies and had a deep understanding of them.

Zhao Tianluo nodded. As the daughter of King Kang, he saw too many exquisite objects. His eyes were lit up, but it was not surprising. She put down her hairpin and picked up the other one, but she was quite surprised: "There are no way out after the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are dark and bright again. It turns out that the poem passed down from here at the poetry meeting comes from here."

Xue Jiuquan nodded with a smile: "According to Cao Hua, the shopkeeper of the shop is a scholar and has some poetic talent."

"Is he a scholar?"

Zhao Tianluo came from Jiangnan, where his literary style was so popular, and his curiosity about talented men was far greater than jewelry. Hearing this, he turned his head and glanced at Manager Song.

Xue Jiuquan knew the princess's personality and said with some regrets: "I heard from Cao Hua that the scholar's wife is pregnant and has been with her back to Jiangnan to take care of her baby, and she will not see her for a short time."

"oh."

Zhao Tianluo nodded slightly, but it was a bit of a pity. He took the hairpin and observed it carefully.

Xue Jiuquan has been with the emperor for many years, and his ability to observe his expressions is superb. Naturally, he knows that the princess has fallen in love with him. He turns to the shopkeeper and hooks his fingers and takes out two silver notes.

When Princess Yong'an went shopping, the empress dowager had already told her to serve her. She needed to ask for the price when buying a hairpin. Her adopted son Cao Hua had carefully investigated the "price" of each shop, and Xue Jiuquan just had to pay the money.

The shopkeeper naturally saw the big guy, and immediately rushed forward to take it, not even looking at the silver note, but just bowed and said, "The shop can be customized. If the lady likes it, just say a few requirements. If the lady cannot satisfy the lady, the shop will not receive any penny."

Zhao Tianluo looked at the jade hairpin in his hand, nodded and said, "Carn the hairpin on the whole poem and send it to Prince Kang's mansion."

"yes."

The shopkeeper's expression was neither humble nor arrogant. He bent over to see the gifts slightly, so he packed two jade hairpins in a wooden box and sent Zhao Tianluo out with respect.

Outside the shop, Shen Yu was stunned with her waist and was about to say, "Is there a fool really a buyer?", but Su Xiangning covered her mouth and pulled her to the side. She watched the master and servant get on the carriage.

Seeing that Wanbao Tower opened, Su Xiangning felt a little relieved, but she still felt a little indescribable. After all, the three hairpins combined are more expensive than her, so no one can be happy.

Shen Yu was so angry that he did not dare to offend these princes and nobles, and he did not dare to offend "Su Shi"?

After the carriage left, she ran to Wanbaolou angrily, trying to vent her slander, but the small door of Wanbaolou closed in a flash, and a sign was hung, and the letter was written:

Sale and close.

Well, it really suppressed Wanbao Tower and closed the door.

Shen Yu was so angry that she could only tremble all over and couldn't say a word.

Su Xiangning knew her temper and took Shen Yu's hand to comfort her: "It's a good thing that Su Shi's shop opened, and we'll sell it like this, it's just a little more time. Uncle Shen has some friendship with the father-in-law who purchased the palace. As long as the palace queen is willing to wear our Baibaozhai hairpin, the business will definitely be better than him."

This proposal came a little late. The Li family and Wang family had already started preparing. Shen Yu suddenly realized that Wu Qiaoshou was in charge of her shop. Why can't Wanbaolou do business like this?

Miss Shen hurriedly ran back to pick up the sign and began to plan a high-end route.
