After Jiang Miao knew that Shen Yanqing would go to the capital soon, she felt a sense of urgency in her heart. Her business in the capital relied on the Xu brothers and sisters, and she had not yet completely handled it. This time she wanted to run her own shop independently.
"Madam, this is the address of Sun Hao's shop. It is in a good location in the east of the city. I asked a few young men to inquire about it. There are only two shops for rent now, one is opposite Linglong Pavilion, and the other is half a street away from it. "
Wu Yue told Jiang Miao the information she found. This was her first time in Shen's house on errands. Fortunately, Jiang Miao didn't ask her to serve tea and water. She was good at finding out information. What happened to Sun Hao recently? She checked everything clearly.
"Opposite Linglong Pavilion..."
Jiang Miao looked at the drawings in her hands and made a decision in her mind. Since she wanted to confront Sun Hao, the best way to relieve her anger was to snatch his business in person.
Anyway, Sun Hao is useless. This embroidery shop is his lifeblood. Seeing his business being taken away by someone he hates, while he himself is left penniless, he should have a taste of such heart-wrenching pain.
"I want this one. You buy the shop and have it decorated as soon as possible...Have you found the embroiderer?"
Jiang Miao didn't know how to weave, so she just made ready-made clothes. She had experience in her previous life, and the improvement and design of some clothes were ahead of the current clothes, so she didn't ask for good skills when looking for an embroiderer, as long as she could make her designs. However, Jiang Miaokai's conditions are very favorable, and there are still many embroiderers willing to work.
"We have found them. There are ten people in total, as well as two boys and a shopkeeper. They have all signed the deed of sale. I have inspected their characters and found no problems for the time being."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Wu Yue has been busy for the past half month and has completed what she told her very well. Jiang Miao was unwilling to accept this maid before, but now she has been slapped in the face. In her heart, Wu Yue is now with her personal Like an assistant, it saved her a lot of trouble.
"This is what a slave should do."
Wu Yue didn't feel that it was too hard. She came out of the secret guard camp. It was better to do errands than to be idle. She had nowhere to use her energy. Fortunately, Jiang Miao assigned her a task.
"By the way, ma'am, I also found out about Sun Hao's interactions with the Liu family..."
"Liu family?"
Jiang Miao raised her eyes, but she was not surprised at all. She had already guessed that Sun Hao was involved with the Liu family, but she never found any evidence.
"Yes, the people sent by the servant followed him into the Liu family, but it is not clear who he went to see."
The Prime Minister's Mansion is heavily guarded, and even if they are skilled secret guards, they would not dare to enter easily.
"I know, keep staring at him."
Whether Sun Hao is entangled with Prime Minister Liu or Liu Ruyan, sooner or later he will reveal his flaws.
"yes."
After Wu Yue retired, Jiang Miao began to stay at home and draw drawings. When the shop opens next month, she must have something shocking to hit the market. Besides, besides ready-made clothes, Jiang Miao also has other ideas. Since she wants to enter the capital, You can't be unprepared.
Shen Yanqing was not idle either. A group of beggars summoned by Liang Duo were training intensively in the secret guard camp of the Duke's Mansion. He did not expect these beggars to develop powerful martial arts. Compared with a group of beggars, Comparable to an army, he wanted to establish an intelligence network.
Although the matter with the Song family seemed to have come to an end, Shen Yanqing never thought of letting Song Cang go. His eyes darkened as he looked at the list of the first batch of secret guards.
"The content of their assessment is to investigate the Song family."
"yes!"
Liang Duo lowered his head and faced Shen Yanqing's ambition for the first time. He was excited and panicked.
The master he chose was by no means a good one. He originally thought that Shen Yanqing would be satisfied as the magistrate of Zhenjiang Prefecture, but now it seems that his ambition is more than that. Perhaps, he can also climb up the ladder. .
Beijing
Since Sun Hao reached a cooperation with Liu Ruyan, his gloominess has dissipated a little. The hatred of his broken hand has been suppressed in his heart for the time being, and now he wants to grow up quickly.
Liu Ruyan was also anxious. She sold off her jewelry several times for Linglong Pavilion's business, and finally raised ten thousand taels of silver to invest in it.
When Sun Hao had money, he could buy precious fabrics again. This time, in addition to Shu brocade, there were also Yun brocade and Liuguang brocade. These brocades, which are usually rare to buy, were all displayed in the shop. Even the woman who was frightened by Sun Hao's broken hand had forgotten it. Overcome with fear, I couldn't move my feet while looking at the brilliant brocade.
"There will be a flower-viewing party in a few days. The clothes made of this brocade are even more gorgeous than the flowers. They will definitely stand out from the crowd with envy!"
Some young ladies couldn't restrain their joy and discussed with the young sisters next to them how to stand out that day. It would be best if they could meet a handsome man so that they could find a good son-in-law.
There are many people who have the same idea as her, especially this flower viewing party is organized by the eldest princess. Not only the young talents in the capital, but also the emperor will go there. You must know that the emperor has been on the throne for five years, and the harem is still empty. Here Who doesn’t want to climb a high branch and become a queen?
Sun Hao's Linglong Pavilion business came back to life. Not only that, it also became famous thanks to a few pieces of brocade. Women in the capital sent people to buy fabrics one after another, fearing that they would be lost in the flower viewing party next month.
In just ten days, he made tens of thousands of taels of silver. Liu Ruyan couldn't help but feel a little excited when he looked at the account book.
"so much?"
Apart from the money she invested, there was still money to be made.
"This is all thanks to Lady Liu's trust in me and her willingness to invest in me. You must know that these brocades are worth thousands of gold, and the price when sold is a hundred times higher. This is still in short supply. I have a stable supply, and I will only make more in the future."
He wanted to get closer to Liu Ruyan, so he showed her the results as soon as he returned to work. He was smart and capable and would never let her down.
"Okay! As long as you can continue to make money, if you need anything in the future, just let Xiuer tell you, and I will try my best to help you."
Liu Ruyan had previously disliked Jiang Miao's vulgarity, but a county magistrate's wife showed up to do business with others. But when she saw the heavy bag of money in her hand, she changed her mind. It would be good to have money. With money, she could help Shen Yanqing. , wasn’t Jiang Miao the one who opened the food street in Zhenjiang Prefecture? She can do the same.
"yes."
Sun Hao was happy to receive Liu Ruyan's praise. He couldn't suppress the smile on his lips while sitting in the carriage. Linglong Pavilion was still full of business. He stood at the door and looked at it with a proud look on his face.
When the boy saw him coming back, he rushed forward to greet him.
"Shopkeeper, you are back. Today we sold another hundred pieces of brocade. The inventory is running low. Do you think you are going to restock?"
"Well, let's put in more this time and have more tricks."
As the end of the year approaches, there are more and more banquets in the capital. How could Sun Hao miss this opportunity to make money?
"Yes, I understand, little one."
"Shopkeeper, the shop opposite us seems to be opening an embroidery shop. Will it affect our business?"
After getting down to business, the boy spoke out his worries. There used to be a teahouse opposite Linglong Pavilion, but the business was not good and it was sold out a few days ago. There were people coming in and out recently, so he asked a few more questions.
Sun Hao is now so contented that he doesn't take others into consideration at all.
"No one can take away Linglong Pavilion's business now. He wants to open an embroidery shop opposite. He is simply overestimating his capabilities."
