"Miss, the two shops that Madam bought are here." After getting off the carriage, Zi Su introduced to Qing Wan, pointing to a powder shop opposite and a shop selling jewelry next door.
"Let's go in and have a look."
The three masters and servants went to the powder shop first, and then went to the jewelry shop next door. Qing Yuan found that the area of the two shops was not particularly large, unlike Zuixian Ming, which had a second floor and a small courtyard.
.However, the flow of people is not bad, and the business is doing well. It is said that women make the best money, and it seems that this sentence applies no matter where you go.
Among them, the business of the cosmetics store is better than that of the jewelry store. Almost from the time they walked in, there were no shortage of customers, and they accounted for more than half of the transaction volume.
The business of the jewelry store is slightly worse, with many people looking at it and not many people buying it. Moreover, the jewelry displayed on the counter does not look like high-quality products, and the profit is probably not large.
After coming out of the shop, Qing Wan told Zi Su before getting on the carriage: "In a few days, the owners of the powder shop will come to negotiate the lease, and you will tell them that they will charge an additional two floors. Moreover, in the future, the contract will be signed once a year, and there will be no long-term contracts."
As for the jewelry shop next door, just take it back!"
"Huh?" Daukou blinked and asked curiously: "Why don't you continue to rent it out, Miss? I think that although the business there is not as good as the business of the makeup store, it may not be unprofitable. Maybe the boss will be willing to add money to renew the lease?"
"
Next to him, Zisu explained lightly: "The young lady plans to keep it for herself."
"Huh? Miss, you want to open a shop?" Daukou's eyes sparkled, staring at Qingwan with increasing curiosity.
Before Qing Wan could answer, she saw a child who looked like a beggar suddenly appeared on the roadside and grabbed the hem of Qing Wan's clothes. The little beggar looked like five or six years old, with messy hair, a sallow face, and a thin face.
His eyes were bulging out. He just held Qingwan tightly and looked at her with a pleading look, without saying a word. Behind Qingwan, the two girls Zisu and Daukou couldn't bear to look at her.
I can't help but feel compassion.
Thinking of the young lady's previous attitude towards the beggar mother and son, Zisu was about to take out a few coins from her purse and give them to the child, but she heard Qingyuan lightly say: "It's getting late, we should go to Xiangfang.
Pull him away!"
Zi Su and Da Kao were both stunned. Just as they were about to ask something, a noble and cold voice suddenly sounded from the opposite side: "They are both beggars. You were willing to help the mother and daughter at the door of Zui Xian Ming that day? Why are you here?
, but you want the maid to push this child away?"
He raised his head and saw Ji Lanjin, dressed in white, slowly walking out of the restaurant opposite. The sun shone on half of his face, as if it had been tinged with a faint luster, making his temperament even more elegant and as gentle as jade. The dark color
His eyes fell on her across the crowd, his gaze was deep, and there was clearly a hint of judgment in his eyes.
They encountered each other by chance again and again. Although the other person still felt palpitated when looking at her, Qing Wan found that she had been able to face each other more and more calmly. At least, she could control her face and not show any emotions.
Facing Ji Lanjin's gaze, Qing Wan did not shy away, "In today's situation, I only do what I can do. There are so many beggars here. As long as I make a little compassionate move, they will all pounce on me."
, then it will be difficult for me to escape. And I can’t help everyone. Even if I have the heart, I don’t have the ability. On the contrary, I think that with your status, Lord Ninth Prince, you might be able to help.
What they do is far more useful than me handing out a few copper coins here."
