Lu Yao often rewarded her with things on weekdays. Yunxiang was a kind person and would occasionally bring back some food. Although it was not expensive, it was thoughtful. Yunxiang carefully placed the pastry box on the table and was very happy to see the girl. , there was a little more smile in his eyes, "I happened to pass by, so I bought it. Girl, eat it while it's hot, it's just steamed."
Lu Yao waved to everyone with a bright smile, "Come, come, let's eat together, let's agree first, you can only eat one piece each, and the remaining three pieces are all mine." She looked like she was protecting her food.
Xixiang nodded repeatedly, her saliva was almost drooling, and she looked at Lu Yao eagerly, "Girl, eat quickly."
Yunxiang couldn¡¯t help laughing.
Lu Yao was the first to take a piece. The pieces of steamed cake were neatly arranged. Just looking at them made people move their index fingers. They were smooth and soft after entering the mouth, with a sweet texture and a very authentic taste. Seeing her take a bite, Xixiang couldn't wait to take a piece. , the two of them ate with gusto, their two little faces full of happiness.
Yunxiang greeted everyone and ate a piece each. As expected, good food tastes better when shared than when eaten alone. Lu Yao ate three pieces in one go, and her stomach was almost full.
After eating and drinking, Lu Yao remembered what happened in the shop. She leaned lazily on the Grand Master's chair with a lazy look on her face, "How's the inquiry going?"
Yunxiang visited several of the busiest streets and found only two shops for sale, one on Nanluo Street and one on Zhongyuan Street. Zhongyuan Street was spacious and the location was relatively good, with many shops on both sides. Restaurants and calligraphy shops also have a lot of traffic, but the prices are also a lot more expensive. A two-story shop costs 800 taels of silver, and the lower-priced one costs 600 taels.
"Why is it so expensive?"
Lu Yao remembers that a very nice house only costs five hundred taels of silver, but a shop is so expensive? She thought she was rich just now, but she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged when she thought about spending money to hire people, buy various spices, and a house for making incense. After doing this calculation, the money in my hand is still a little tight.
Lu Yao sighed and felt very distressed. She couldn't sell any more jewelry. She had already sold five pieces. If she sold it again, there would be so many missing pieces and it would be easy for her to be exposed. Lu Yao didn't want to be discovered by Jiang. Thinking that her mother's dowry had many shops, Lu Yao felt itchy in her heart and wanted to ask her for one, but she could only think about it.
How about finding someone to join us? The sisters in the family were excluded by her first. This matter had to be hidden from the family. In fact, Lu Yao had two close friends. One is An Xin, the eldest daughter of the Anshun Hou Mansion, and the other is Lin Yuetong, the young granddaughter of Zheng Ge Lao. Why not bring them into the group?
Several of Lin Yuetong¡¯s uncles are in business. If she can join, she will not only have funds, but also have channels to purchase goods. It is simply killing two birds with one stone. Lu Yao's eyes lit up. As soon as she had this idea, Zhuxiang walked in and said, "Miss, Miss Lin and Miss An heard that you fell into the water and came to see you. They are waiting in the lobby now."
"What else are you reporting? Let them come over quickly. Forget it, I will go there by myself."
Lu Yao stood up. Today she was wearing a grass green jacket with white edges and a moon white dress embroidered with butterflies. As she walked, the butterflies danced gracefully. The closer she got, the faster her footsteps. The faster she went, looking from a distance, she looked like a butterfly spreading its wings and about to fly. When Jiang saw it, he would definitely talk about her.
"You two came right here, why don't you just go to me?"
Lin Yuetong is also fourteen years old and has a bold temper. When he saw her running over, he stood up quickly, "It seems that we are observing etiquette after announcing. Why are you running here? Didn't you just fall into the water? Are you okay?"
An Xin has a softer personality. Seeing that Lu Yao's face was rosy and she didn't look sick at all, the worry in her heart dissipated. The two of them heard about Lu Yao falling into the water and came together to visit her.
Lu Yao held their hands and said with a smile: "What can happen to my body? Just as I was thinking about you, you two came. Sit down quickly and say, Sister Yunxiang, go and guard the door."
After hearing her instructions, the two of them looked at each other, always feeling that this girl was planning something again.
In addition to the princesses in the palace, the circle of noble ladies in the capital is divided into two major factions. One faction is headed by the prime minister's daughter Wei Ningzi, and the other is Lu Yao and the others. The two factions have fought countless battles since they were young, and Lu Yao has often appeared. He had tricked the other party many times overtly and covertly. Lin Yuetong was a little excited to see her look like this again.
¡°What¡¯s so mysterious about it?¡±
Lu Yao¡¯s eyes were equally bright, ¡°Of course it¡¯s a good thing.¡±
She didn¡¯t waste any time and directly told them about the shop and asked them if they wanted to join.
Lin Yuetong¡¯s mind is more active and her brain starts to open up immediately.Once the business started, although the shop would suffer losses and profits, if it was run well, it would definitely make a fortune in the capital, a place with so many noble people.
Her maternal grandmother was from Hangzhou. Her uncles had made so much money in Hangzhou and were still thinking of opening a shop in the capital. She had always been envious of her. Why didn't she think that she could open her own shop! Lin Yuetong didn't even ask what store to open, so she was so excited, "Count me in."
She often has no money in her hands. If there is a way to make money, of course she is willing.
An Xin¡¯s brows furrowed. She is one year older and much calmer than Lin Yuetong. ¡°Yao Yao, why do you suddenly want to open a shop?¡±
"I just want to make some money to spend. When we get married, there will definitely be a lot of shops in our dowry. If we learn how to run them in advance, we won't be blinded by the time. I think it's good. Sister Xin, do you want to join?"
An Xin, like Lu Yao, was born in the Hou family. She lived a life of fine clothing and food since she was a child, and she never worried about food and clothing. At this time, although the status of businessmen was not something to be looked down upon, it was somewhat lower than that of officials.
Her third sister-in-law was not very popular with her grandmother because she was from a business background. Seeing that Lu Yao actually wanted to go into business, An Xin felt somewhat disapproving of her. "You are a little girl. Why did you suddenly think of this? You are not afraid of getting a reputation."
Lin Yuetong disagreed with this and glared, "Sister Xin, it's wrong of you to say that. Your mother still owns many shops. Has her reputation been ruined?"
An Xin choked, "That's her dowry, she didn't use it to beg for food."
"What's wrong with begging for food? You didn't steal or rob. You earned it with your own hands. Do you have to be an official to have a bright face? No one is more noble than the other with the same nose and two eyes." She made it clear that she felt aggrieved for her uncle.
Seeing her ugly face, An Xin became a little anxious, "I don't mean to look down on businessmen. Aren't I afraid that you will be gossiped about?"
Lu Yao rubbed the jade bracelet on her hand and said with a smile: "Sister Xin, don't worry, I know you are doing it for our own good, but Tongtong is right, what's wrong with making money by your own skills? Let's talk about me. I don¡¯t want to make it known to everyone. It¡¯s the right thing to make a fortune in silence. I¡¯ve kept this secret from my sisters at home and only told you two. If you want to join us, you¡¯re welcome. If you don¡¯t want to join, we won¡¯t force you. Just keep it a secret for us."
Lu Yao could understand An Xin's thoughts. If it were her fourteen-year-old self who had no worries about food and clothing, she might not be interested in opening a shop.
Hearing what she said, An Xin breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone. Sister Tong, I really didn't mean anything else just now."
Lin Yuetong was not really angry. After being a sister for so many years, she certainly knew An Xin. She turned to An Xin and said, "My words don't mean anything, so don't worry about it. Although my uncle gives me a lot of money every year, I just think that spending their money is not as comfortable as spending your own money."
It¡¯s as if she has already earned it.
Lu Yao laughed and shook her head, "Then I'll draw up a charter tonight. I'll have people look for a place first, and we'll discuss the details then."
Lin Yuetong said happily: "Okay! Everything is up to you. I can't do mental work, but if you are short of money, just come to me."
She had just returned from visiting relatives in Hangzhou. Now was the richest time, but she could also spend a lot. If she couldn't save it, she would lose it. She planned to ask her personal maid to give her little treasury to Lu first when she got home. Yao brought it over so that it would not be spent after procrastinating for too long.
The two of them didn¡¯t stay long and left quickly.
Lin Yuetong was a big-hearted person. He just sent the money over without asking any questions. Lu Yao gasped when she saw six thousand-tael silver notes nestled in the box! My heart almost stopped beating. This girl is so rich!
Thinking that she was too little, Lin Yuetong's girl quickly said: "Miss Lu, my girl said that if it's not enough, she will find another way, don't worry."
Why is she in a hurry?
"When I heard that this little girl didn't know the current prices, six thousand taels of silver notes could buy a dozen or so shops. They only opened one shop, of course it was enough, or how about opening a few more?
Lu Yao's heartbeat was a little fast. She stretched out her hand and knocked on the desk. The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, "This is enough for the time being. Tell your girl that the money she has invested will be counted as principal, and she will pay it back to her when she earns money." She and I will split the bonusforget it, I'll go find her in the evening."
Why not go now?
Of course, it was because Lu Yao still had something to do. As soon as Wei Xuexin's matter turned to her mind, Zhuxiang walked in. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
