Just when Mu Tianxue and the others entered Ming Yuexuan, a pair of cold eyes in the private room on the second floor glanced coldly at Mu Tianxue, who was as cold as ice. Apart from disdain, there was no concealment in those cold eyes.
of disgust.
Mu Tianxue's steps up the stairs stopped abruptly. She clearly felt that there was a pair of cold eyes looking at her. It was only for a moment, but she was still aware of it.
She raised her cold eyes and looked at one of the seats on the second floor. She saw that the window of that seat had been closed. She frowned slightly, and her intuition told her that the people in that seat were definitely not simple.
"Master, what did you find?" Seeing Mu Tianxue stop and look complicated, it seemed that he had discovered something. Lan Yi, who was following closely behind, hurriedly asked.
Mu Tianxue didn't say anything, just raised her hand and continued walking upstairs. The lounge she was looking at was next to hers. Although she didn't know who was in it, she knew that the people in it were
Definitely not an ordinary person.
"Shopkeeper, thank you for your hard work. I'm not here these days. How is the situation in the store?" Mu Tianxue asked casually after sitting down, grabbing a handful of chess pieces.
The shopkeeper replied truthfully: "Dad boss, the business in the store is as usual. It is full of guests every day and the income is considerable. Some time ago, a big man who claimed to be Mr. Yao's subordinate came to the store looking for recommendations. Later, he was killed by a man.
The young master was beaten away.
The store returned to calm, but for some unknown reason, those people who were beaten away took the initiative to come to the store to admit their mistake, and even claimed a hundred taels of silver as the loss of the store. To this day, the silver is still in the treasury."
A smile appeared on the corners of Mu Tianxue's lips. This Young Master Yao really knows the current affairs and is a talented person. The banner of the Murong family is really useful. "During my absence, the little girl who often accompanied me,
Do you come to the store often?"
Mu Tianxue was asking none other than Mu Wanting. Although Ming Yuexuan was opened with her money, when she left the capital, she gave half of Ming Yuexuan's shares to Mu Wanting.
In other words, Mu Wanting is the second owner of Ming Yuexuan.
During the time she left, the third lady's illness was so serious. As Ming Yuexuan's second boss, Mu Wanting naturally had the power to come to the treasury to get money to treat the third lady. Why did she even look down on the illness?
The shopkeeper said respectfully: "The second boss comes to sit down every now and then. The second boss checks the monthly account books. All the money is put into the treasury. The second boss doesn't take out even one tael of silver. He says it's
I'm making plans when the big boss comes back."
"Well, I understand, you go down first." Mu Tianxue played with the chess piece in his hand and made a sign to the shopkeeper. After the shopkeeper got down, he sent the best-quality Longjing tea to the dining room.
"Master, this is a teahouse and chess room, as well as a shop for drinking tea and listening to books. Are you the one who opened it?" Lin Yue'er showed an expression of disbelief. Lan Yi was a little surprised, but also
Not as big as Lin Yue'er's reaction.
"Is it weird? Who said women can't do business?" Mu Tianxue could see Lin Yue'er's doubts and surprise.
In ancient times, it was always men who did business, because doing business requires people to show their faces in public, while women should stay in the boudoir and cannot show their faces in public to make people laugh.
But Mu Tianxue's concept is different. As a woman in the 21st century, no matter what she does, she will rely on herself, be independent and self-reliant.
Although she had never thought about making her business as big as that of the Murong family.
But with this shop here, she has a way out.
At least, this store can be a refuge in emergencies and special circumstances. If she needs money, she doesn't have to worry about not being able to raise it.
"It's not strange, just a little surprised. What the master does always exceeds others' expectations."
As Lin Yue'er spoke, she turned to look through the window towards the hall on the first floor, and her eyes suddenly fell on the two men who had just entered the gate of Ming Yuexuan.
She blinked twice to make sure she saw correctly, then she looked back at Mu Tianxue and whispered: "Master, a distinguished guest has entered Ming Yuexuan's door."
"Haha" Mu Tianxue chuckled and said calmly: "Guests who come to my Ming Yuexuan are not distinguished by high or low. If you want to go to this elegant seat, you must first make a reservation in advance. No matter who the guest is, there are no reservations.
, can’t even let this elegant seat sit.
Secondly, as long as he can pay the minimum price for a private room, he will not turn away the guest even if he is a beggar Ming Yuexuan.
Thirdly, no matter what the identity of the visitor is, as long as he can correctly match the couplet I wrote, he can go to the elegant seat unconditionally, and he will also be given a pot of the best Longjing."
"Then, what if the visitor is the fourth prince of the current dynasty?" Lin Yue'er glanced at the fourth prince in the hall downstairs, and saw that the fourth prince and the servant behind him were about to go upstairs when they were blocked by the shopkeeper.
They were far away and she couldn't hear what they were saying, but it could be seen from the face of the fourth prince that he was angry because someone blocked his way.
The shopkeeper nodded and bowed, saying it was easy to talk. After talking about it, he hurried upstairs.
Seeing the horrified and anxious look on the shopkeeper's face, he must have known that the person coming was the fourth prince of the dynasty, and it was difficult for him to make a decision, so he came to Mu Tianxue to ask for instructions.
"Dad Boss... I have something to ask for..." The shopkeeper knocked on the door of the private room. After getting Mu Tianxue's response, Lin Yue'er slowly opened the door. After the shopkeeper entered the private room, he reported: "Dad Boss,
A male guest came downstairs and wanted to have tea in the private dining room. He claimed to be the fourth prince of the dynasty. I saw that he was wearing a brocade robe and had a crown of jade on his head. He should be a member of the royal family. I wanted to see if I could give him a couplet.
Let him spend the standard amount of money in a private room."
Mu Tianxue smiled slyly, looked at the shopkeeper and said: "Since we are the fourth dynasty, he must have raised the price. Very good, tell him, it is not difficult to get a private room, and it only costs 888 taels of silver.
"
After hearing this, the shopkeeper and Lin Yue'er were all shocked. They looked at Mu Tianxue in disbelief. Their hearts were pounding. They couldn't taste any tea for 888 taels of silver. After the fourth prince heard this number, he didn't know what he would do.
You won’t be so surprised that your jaw hits the ground.
Mu Tianxue waved her hand and signaled the shopkeeper to send a message. She had deliberately offered such a high price. If Long Chenhao accepted it to save his face, she could make a fortune.
If she didn't accept it, she wouldn't have to see Long Chenhao's self-satisfied face.
She still remembered Long Chenhao asking her if she was pretending to be stupid.
If by chance he saw Lan Yi and Lin Yue'er, he would naturally become suspicious.
Downstairs, after receiving the shopkeeper's reply, Long Chenhao almost dropped his jaw to the ground in surprise.
The tribute tea in the palace was expensive, but it was not as expensive as 888 taels of silver. This shabby shop actually asked him to pay 888 taels of silver before he could go to the private room on the second floor. Was this extortion or an open robbery?
"Our boss said that the young master is the fourth prince of the current dynasty, and he only has 888 taels of silver. To the fourth prince, he is just a piece of cake." Seeing Long Chenhao's shocked expression, the shopkeeper hurriedly explained what Mu Tianxue told him before leaving.
