Chapter 288 Finally came to Beijin
In June of that year, Liu Yunxiang finally arrived at Kyoto Kin'an, North Jin.
Since the beginning of spring, I left Yanguicheng, went north, passed through the desert, passed the snow-capped mountains, and went through the Beijin investigation. After several more dangers, I finally arrived three months later.
Looking at Jin'an's city gate, Liu Yunxiang's heart trembled violently, wishing she could run to Yan Mu now and tell him: Look, I didn't leave you behind.
The people from the Ying Prince's Mansion were facing each other at the city gate, and Liu Yunxiang helped Princess Ying get off the carriage with her bulging belly.
"Zhixi, where is your home? I'll take you back."
Murong Zhixi glanced at the people from the Ying Prince's Mansion, blushed, and said, "Yun Xiang, I actually hide it from you."
"What?"
"My husband is King Ying, and I am Princess Ying."
Liu Yunxiang pretended to be surprised, then smiled again, "It's nothing, you should be careful when you go out."
"Yunxiang." Murong Zhixi held Liu Yunxiang's hand and said anxiously: "Start first, I really didn't have a heart to you, but as I get along slowly, I really treat you as a friend!"
Liu Yunxiang held Murong Zhixi's hand, patted her fear of the back of her hand, and said softly: "Actually, I have something to hide from you."
"Well?"
"But I can't tell you now, are we still friends?"
Murong Zhixi nodded quickly, "Of course!"
"I bought a shop on East Street, called Nanhonglou. If you have any questions, you can go there to find me."
"good!"
Nanhonglou is located in the most prosperous East Street in Jin'an, but the location is closer to the west, which is not very good. She led the caravan to hear that in front of the small gate of Nanhonglou's backyard, she arranged for a friend to move the silk in.
The shopkeeper's surname is Hu, and Zhang Qi gave her.
"Owner, our shop has been open for half a month, and the business is bleak. The cart of silk I brought first has not been sold yet." Manager Hu said with a bitter face.
"Oh? Why?" Liu Yunxiang asked.
The East Street is crowded with people. Although this place is a little remote, it is not impossible to sell a piece of silk.
Manager Hu invited Liu Yunxiang to the shop in Qianjie and pointed to the two shops opposite, and the one nearby one here. "These three shops sell silk from northern gold, they know that we are from Darong and jointly exclude us."
Liu Yunxiang saw a carriage parked on the street, and a maid helped the gorgeously dressed woman get off the car. The woman looked at the Nanhonglou here, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards this side.
Manager Hu hurried up to greet him and said with a smile: "Madam, our Nanhonglou is a newly opened shop, selling silk from Darong. You can first give it a palm to ensure you are satisfied."
"Darong's Jiangnan silk?"
“That’s right.”
"Oh, that's very famous."
"Yes, we've transported it from all over the world."
The woman became interested and followed Manager Hu toward this side.
However, at this time, the shopkeeper of the silk shop next door ran out and saw this scene, he went straight forward: "Yi, Mrs. Li, I haven't seen you some days. It's true that people are having a happy event. Look at this complexion, I'm almost twenty years younger."
Mrs. Li covered her mouth and laughed, "Original shopkeeper, are you kidding me?"
"I dare not, I have added a male mansion. I have also prepared a gift. You are here today, so I can save my strength."
"Here is a polite shopkeeper."
"Our boss specifically instructed him and said that Mrs. Li is our old customer, and she has been in love for so many years!"
Manager Hu was anxious when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Madam, the silk in our Nanhonglou is full of brilliance..."
"Forget it, let's go another day."
Mrs. Li waved her hand and followed the original shopkeeper to the silk shop next door.
"It just so happens that we have a new set of tricks here. Do you choose first?"
"Then the relationship is good. I was thinking about making autumn clothes for the children at home."
"It's not that I deliberately said bad things about people. This Nanhonglou, you see that the business is bleak, and you only care about selling gimmicks, but the things are not good."
"It's true?"
"The man of Darong, so cunning."
Manager Hu sighed and walked back to Liu Yunxiang, "No, you saw it, it's all about robbing customers."
Liu Yunxiang smiled, "No hurry, we have good goods, we are not afraid of not being able to make any sales."
"But the tax collected by the government in Beijin, especially Jin'an, is quite high."
Manager Hu compared a gesture, "I will collect every month, and I will add another 10% to the shops that Darong people can open."
Liu Yunxiang frowned, "So tall!"
"The Northern Jin Dynasty and its neighbors are constantly in war, so the taxes on each industry are very heavy."
"Let's just keep steady, let's think of a solution together."
"By the way, there will be a Flower Festival here for another half month. Every household will put a pot of flowers in front of the door, and there will be more shops on the East Street. It is heard that the whole city will bloom with flowers and colorful flowers. There is also a Flower Street in Jin'an, which is actually the place where the Qinlou Chu Pavilion gathers. At that time, the courtesan will be on the stage, and the courtesans will compete for beauty. Men, women, and young and old in the city will come to join in the fun. At this time, the satin shops will squeeze their heads and let the courtesans wear their own silk to display on the stage. If the courtesans wear their own silks and the courtesans win the first place, then the business of the satin shop will not be worrying about this year."
Liu Yunxiang nodded and said nothing.
At this time, the original shopkeeper of the silk shop next door sent Mrs. Li out. He looked here, smiled proudly, and sent Mrs. Li to the opposite side.
"You go to the opposite side to see if you like it. I am familiar with their shopkeeper and it is cheaper to keep it for you."
"It's nothing to be cheap or not, but my rascal likes the pretty colors."
"Yes, his family is not good, and you will always have a look at it next door."
"good."
The original shopkeeper sent him over, and a female shopkeeper came out from the opposite side, who was in her thirties and enthusiastically welcomed Mrs. Li into the shop.
Liu Yunxiang has realized what joint exclusion means. Her Southern Red Mansion is in the middle, and she will be intercepted whether from the east or the west.
The purpose of these three families is very unified, which is to make her unable to sell things in the Nanhonglou building, and she vomits blood and then automatically closes the door.
"I also said that our Darong people are cunning, and it is clearly because of their Northern Jin people who are arrogant!" Manager Hu said in anger.
Liu Yunxiang never thought that doing business in Beijin would be smooth, and this small setback was nothing.
"By the way, Manager Hu, have you found out what I asked you to inquire about?"
Back at the shop, Liu Yunxiang asked Manager Hu.
Manager Hu sighed when he heard this, "The Seventh Prince is indeed in Jin'an."
Liu Yunxiang's heart moved, "Then is he okay?"
"How to calculate it well, how can I not calculate it well, I can only say that my life is still there."
"What's the meaning?"
"You, just go to the intersection in front and wait. You will see people in a short while."
Liu Yunxiang didn't care about asking anything else and hurried out to run outside.
Running to the cross, she looked around, hoping to see that person.
Chapter completed!
