72. Chapter 72

Since Mrs. Yao’s approval is clear, the trivial and troublesome clues about opening a store can be straightened out.

Many ancestors of the Great Wei family were all large families in Jiangnan. They had wealthy families and had a lot of land. They rely on rent paid by tenants on weekdays. Therefore, the children of the clan did not work in production, and either studied in the mansion or gathered friends to play. This was the case with Taiwei Yao's father. In addition to not being good at fighting on horseback, fighting on the battlefield, he was good at cultural relics, antiques, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. However, this mastery was obtained by a lot of money. In addition to the lack of talents in the court who were proficient in officialdom, the decline of the Yao family was one of the reasons for excessive money consumption and lack of support.

Since Mrs. Yao took over the family, the situation has changed. As a noble lady, it is naturally not convenient to personally manage the lowly business business. However, Mrs. Yao took a different approach and specially recruited some smart and capable customers who were good at operating, gave them money, and helped them open shops. They earned a few secret stocks. Overall, they earned a lot of money every year.

Therefore, just talking about this point, Fan Qingyun is planning to follow Mrs. Yao's old path. Now, Yuzhu wants to open a jade shop that competes with Fan Qingyun, which is not difficult for Mrs. Yao. Mrs. Yao ordered the butler to present the details of the shops that the Yao family secretly bought over the years to Yuzhu for a look, and asked her to choose a few of them, accompanied by the butler to go to the shop one by one, and finally chose a shop located on the most lively Chang'an Street in the capital. As for the staff, there is no hurry, so you can choose slowly.

During this period, Fan Qingyun came here in person, looked at Yuzhu's preparation for the store, and explained in person that Hu Wanchou copied her cicada. He only said that his disciple was eager to win and left in a bad situation. However, Hu Wanchou had already come to admit his mistake to his master, so he also gave up his face and apologized to Yuzhu.

Since Lord Fan wanted to show off his face as a charitable old friend, Yuzhu was too lazy to expose it, and just smiled and socialized all the way.

However, Lord Fan still expressed this profound meaning, that is, he still wanted to merge with Yuzhu's store to avoid the trouble of competing between the two companies.

But just as Lord Fan was speaking, Yuzhu's young man who was doing business sent several orders for the order of jade wares for the Houmen Gaofu.

This is what Lord Fan has not said yet and choked in his throat.

Since the competition, Yuzhu has become famous. Many nobles like her elegant and not clichéd taste, and they all want to book her new jade products. On the other hand, although Hu Wanchou won the competition, he ruined the elegant taste that the big family most favored because of the loud chamber pot.

The Yao family has always been the yardstick of the aristocratic families in the capital. Recently, even Mrs. Yao has praised Miss Yuan for her exquisite carving work and her style as Master Yuan back then. How could other aristocratic families be willing to fall behind? Naturally, everyone is pursuing each other.

After knowing this, even Fan Qingyun knew that he could not get any advantage when he opened his mouth to merge the shop. At this time, Yuzhu was in a strong position, so how could he bow his head easily?

He had always been good at grasping people's hearts and stopped talking and stood up to say goodbye.

Yuzhu looked at his back and frowned in disgust.

Yuzhu knew very well that if he wanted to compete with Fan Qingyun for jade trading, it was basically the quality of jade material rough. The best jade in Dawei was produced in the northwest Yushi Town. On the one hand, it was because Yushi Town had the largest and best jade mine in Dawei, and because Yushi Town's cutting masters were mostly veterans in family business training, and had many unique techniques in their techniques. The same jade material raw jade town masters were better than those in other places. If they provided bulk raw materials, they could not be chosen except for the Xiao family in Yushi Town.

Now the Xiao family has lost the opportunity to provide for the imperial offering and has been made difficult by Fan Qingyun. I am afraid that the only jade mine will be out of stock.

However, after she was driven out, she was equivalent to breaking with the Xiao family. Even if she was willing to help the Xiao family overcome this difficulty, how to contact her would become a matter of scratching her head. Yuzhu rubbed her head hole and decided to write a letter to the old lady in the Xiao family. The only one in the Mansion was the word "profit", which saved the trouble of going around in circles and untiing her knots.

With the trivial matters of opening a store, time passed quickly and I forgot to have lunch.

When Yuzhu left the shop that day, she saw that the Taiwei had just dismounted and was throwing the horse whip to the horse boy beside her to enter the Dingdong decoration shop.

Yuzhu hurriedly shouted: "Taiwei, be careful of the plaque under her feet!"

Yao Muye looked at the four big words "Unforgettable Jade and Gold" on the plaque, and his eyebrows shrank again. He raised his big feet and walked around the plaque, walked to Yuzhu, and said with his chin tense, "I have been busy doing business these days, and I realized that you are more busy than me. I called the manager who organized the wedding to see you several times, but you pushed me and stopped me, but here I quietly prepared to open the plaque! Miss Six, are you a little bit irrelevant?"

Yuzhu knew that when the Taiwei called him "Miss Six" sarcastically, he was probably extremely unhappy and tried not to provoke him if he could.

But I couldn't avoid this matter in front of me, so I could only pull the Taiwei into the small room beside me and ask him: "How come the Taiwei is there any time to come here?"

The Grand Marshal was too lazy to answer the little woman, so he just sat down, with his eyelids hanging on his back and grinding his two slender fingers, looking like he was ignoring her.

Yuzhu sat down next to him, thought for a while and said, "It's time to fight, and it's not a good time to mention the marriage leave. Moreover, the Taiwei bought my jade pot at a high price in the palace, which really added a lot of worries to the wife. Opening a shop now not only solves the urgent needs of the mansion, but if the Taiwei's military salary is not enough, I can provide some more, so why not do it?"

Yuzhu also grasped the troubles of the Taiwei. As expected, after hearing what she said, Taiwei's face calmed down, and he reached out to pinch Yuzhu's chin and said, "A weak little man always looks at the forefront and thinks about uselessness. Didn't I expect that it is time for war now? It's just a ceremony to avoid the suspicion of being accomplicated by you and me. Everything is simple. As for the expenses in the mansion, my mother is always in charge. You have to share the worries for your mother-in-law before you even pass the door. Isn't it a bit over the horse?"

After saying that, the anger on his face finally disappeared. He called the person in charge of the marriage and asked Yuzhu to choose the fabric for the wedding dress.

Yuzhu had no choice but to pretend that she forgot to eat, and her stomach hurt a little, so she avoided this scene. After the Taiwei accompanied her to eat a bowl of soft noodles bought by the man on the street, a military soldier came to report that he had received a 100,000-year document. The Taiwei then got up and left.

Yuzhu looked at the pile of bright red fabrics in front of her and frowned slightly. She knew completely that the Taiwei really wanted to marry her, not a joke to deceive the woman into committing herself... She just said casually, as if there was no hopeless thing as sunrise in the west, why did the Taiwei take it seriously?

Just when he was in a state of sorrow, a friend suddenly ran in and handed over a letter to Yuzhu. When Yuzhu opened it, he found that it was written by Wang Lang.

The letter only said that he had arrived in the capital and was living in an inn outside the city. Because it was inconvenient to take the initiative to find Yuzhu, he hoped that she would talk to her face if she had time.

Yuzhu knew that Wang Jingtang was very thoughtful and that he was her ex-husband. If she came to the house rashly, she would inevitably have an impact on her reputation. So she chose a quiet suburban inn and just waited for her to find a loophole.

If you calculate carefully, you will be separated from Wang Lang for a long time.

Since she married into the Wang family, she has been with Wang Lang day and night. Compared with Xiaoshan, Wang Lang is more like a loving brother. Now he is traveling a long distance to the capital for himself, regardless of his illness. How could she not see him?

So by taking advantage of going to the suburbs of Beijing to select jade mates, Yuzhu only took Jue'er to hire a carriage from the market to the suburbs of Beijing.

When she arrived at the inn, she found out that Wang Lang had gone to the bamboo forest next to the inn to drink tea, so she also went to the bamboo forest.

As far away, I saw a touch of white clothes in the green area.

Yuzhu walked over slowly and called out in a low voice: "Jingtang..."

The man in white turned around and saw the seemingly thin man quietly independent there, with thin eyebrows and handsome eyes, beautiful eyes, and indifferent appearance, and very graceful, and very elegant. This temperament is too unmanly for the northwest men. Therefore, the master of the Xiao Mansion always dislikes Wang Kun for being too white and calls him ginseng fruit.

But for men in Jiangnan, they have a unique elegance. How many children of aristocratic families are feasting on a meal and want to lose weight in their weak spirit.

Seeing the Jade Zhu coming, Wang Lang chuckled with a faint chuckling on his thin lips, and looked at her carefully and said, "Well, I finally got fatter. My Zhu'er has grown up!"

Seeing that his clothes were too thin, Yuzhu walked over quickly and tightened his cloak for him and said, "The bamboo forest is damp, why don't you wear more clothes?"

But after this inertia, Yuzhu realized that something was wrong. After all, she had already separated from Wang Lang. This time she was as close as before, and she was still a little over the rules.

But here is quiet, and she was so happy that she couldn't care about these small things for a while.

"Aren't you writing a letter asking you not to come? Why don't you listen to others so much?" Yuzhu said after helping him sit down.

Wang Kun smiled and said, "The journey of the sender was a little delayed. When his letter was delivered, I had already arrived in the capital. I just heard that you participated in the Jade Carving Competition and didn't want to disturb your mind, so I waited until after the competition to ask someone to send you a letter."
