Chapter five hundred and eleven happy events (three)
This day coincides with the holiday, and the outside of Lotus Pond Academy is still quite lively.
These twenty shops are all run by women, and all the clerks are women. In just a few days, they have become famous in the capital. Many female relatives come to visit with their daughters.
Lu Chi laughed in a low voice and asked, "Which shop is yours?"
Lin Wei smiled and pointed: "The third room from the left is the one that specializes in snacks, sweets, and fruit tea."
The cost of this shop is not large, with a rent of two hundred taels a year, two cooks who are good at making desserts, sweets and fruit tea, and two female waiters.
Speaking of which, it only cost more than three hundred taels in total. The business is quite good. If this continues, it will only take half a year to recover the money.
"Sister Xie sent me a letter that day, asking me if I wanted to earn some personal allowance. I thought at the time, it didn't matter if I lost money, I thought it would be a way to give back to the academy." Lin Wei smiled and lowered his voice: "So, I immediately
Complied."
"Sister Fang, sister Yin and others are the same way."
"We only need to provide money, and all other matters will be planned and arranged by Sister Xie."
"I really didn't expect Sister Xie to be so awesome. We chose to open on the day of the Lotus Pond Academy's admissions exam. Every store had great discounts, which attracted the female relatives who came to take the exam to donate their money."
"Now this reputation has been established. Even on holidays, many female relatives come here."
Lu Chi thought about it briefly and understood the mystery.
Xie Mingxi relied on the reputation of Lianchi Academy to build these two rows of shops into a business place dedicated to women's families.
The items sold in these shops are not very novel, but they are exquisite enough. They have all kinds of clothing, jewelry, rouge, gouache, and even jade cream that women like. There are also snacks, sweets, silk flower headdresses that girls like, and even various musical instruments, pens, and ink.
Paper inkstone.
The waiters and waiters are all women, and all the customers coming and going are female. Walking there, you suddenly have the illusion that you have entered a daughter's country.
If he were a woman, he would be happy to come.
…
"With so many shops, have you only rented one?" Lu Chi asked curiously.
Lin nodded slightly and added: "Sister Xie rented five rooms, and the seventh prince also rented five rooms."
Half of such a good shop belongs to Xie Mingxi and the Seventh Prince!
Lu Chi said half-jokingly: "It's a pity that I didn't know about this. Otherwise, I should have spent some private money to let you rent a few more shops."
Lin Weiwei responded with regret: "Don't mention it, I will only rent one room."
"Sister Yin, sister Qin, sister Tong, and the others only rented one room. The two princes and concubines did not send any messages or get involved, and Sheng Jinyue and sister Xie also became strangers. In the end, there were two more rooms left.
.”
"Sister Fang is very brave. She took out all the private houses she had saved for several years and rented three of them."
Fang Ruomeng has the least private room, and he doesn't seem to be a bold person on weekdays. Unexpectedly, at critical moments, his eyesight is very precise.
These shops have already made a name for themselves in just a few days, with a huge flow of customers, so why not worry about not making money!
Seeing Lin Weiwei's regretful look, Lu Chi couldn't help but smile, and scraped Lin Weiwei's cheek affectionately with his finger: "It's too late to regret what happened in the past. I didn't make others easier."
It is the time of passion for newlyweds.
Lin Wei's pretty face turned red, and she gave Lu Chi a rollicking look. Her eyes were full of charm.
Lu Chi's heart felt hot and he quietly held Lin Weiwei's hand.
…
A familiar chuckle sounded: "How long are you two going to stick around there?"
It was Xie Mingxi who came.
Xie Mingxi was wearing a pink spring dress, her face was like a jade carving, and her white face was shining with moist pink. She stood there with a smile on her face, like flowers blooming on the branches in spring.
Lin Weiwei ignored her embarrassment and shouted happily: "Thank you, sister!" Then, she took out her hand, stepped forward quickly, hugged Xie Mingxi and spun around.
Xie Mingxi was very happy to see her friend. She took a quick look at Lin Weiwei and saw that she was full of energy and her eyes were bright, so she knew that her life was going very well.
"I was still thinking that I would have the audacity to visit you when you are one month old." Xie Mingxi joked in a low voice: "I didn't expect that on the tenth day, you would already be here with your newlywed husband."
Lin Wei Wei stuck out his tongue and chuckled softly: "My father-in-law is busy all day long, and my mother-in-law treats me very kindly. However, I have nothing to do all day long, and I always want to come and see you. Brother Lu then said to my mother-in-law, take me with you.
I am coming."
Otherwise, how could she, a newly married daughter-in-law, be able to leave the house at will?
Xie Mingxi smiled teasingly: "We are already married, why are we still called Brother Lu? We should change our name to husband-in-law!"
Lin smiled slightly and said, "I've been shouting for many years, but I can't change my words for a while."
Lu Chi didn't mind anyway.
She called her Brother Lu, and Lu Chi was equally happy.
The happiness and sweetness belonging to a newlywed young woman was piled in the corners of Lin Weiwei's eyes and eyebrows, almost shining. The flash made Xie Mingxi feel a little stinging in her eyes...
No need to ask too much, just looking at Lin Weiwei's appearance, we know how happy and joyful Lin Weiwei's life is after marriage.
Xie Mingxi was sincerely happy for her friend. She took Lin Weiwei's hand and said with a smile: "Master knows that you are coming and is very happy. Come with me to the academy as soon as possible!"
Lin Weiwei smiled repeatedly and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss Shan Chang very much!"
Lu Chi followed Lin Weiwei with a smile, as if a woman was singing and a husband was following her.
…
When everyone met, there was a lot of joy and excitement. There is no need to describe it in detail.
Lin Weiwei stayed for half a day, had lunch, and then left.
Shanchang Gu praised Lu Chi in front of Xie Mingxi: "...This Lu Chi is from a famous family and has outstanding literary talent, but he is not arrogant at all, polite and gentle as jade. Such a talent is rare. He is barely worthy of it.
Lin Weiwei."
Xie Mingxi was secretly amused.
The previous compliments sounded superficial, but it was not until the last sentence that I showed my sincerity.
The emotion is to praise Lin Weiwei for being outstanding.
In the eyes of Gu Shanchang, each student of Lianchi Academy is more outstanding than the other. There are very few young people in the world who are worthy of his students.
Sure enough, Gu Shanchang quickly said: "In a few days, Fang Ruomeng will also get married. Fang Ge's eyesight is really mediocre, and that Li Mo has always been a bit impetuous and not steady enough. How can he be worthy of Fang Ruomeng?
.”
Of course, Chief Gu Shan knew about Li Mo's frivolous behavior in the past few years. Therefore, he never had a good impression of Li Mo. Ever since the news of Fang Ruomeng and Li Mo's engagement came to his ears, Chief Gu Shan often criticized Mr. Fang Ge for "nothing."
vision".
Xie Mingxi answered the question with a smile: "Master, it's okay for you to say a few words in front of me. In a few days, Sister Fang will get married, and Master will go to Fang's house to congratulate you. But please don't say this. Otherwise, if someone overhears, Sister Fang
It’s always a little embarrassing.”
Gu Shanchang snorted: "Am I one of those talkative people?"
