Flowers are expensive

Chapter 341 The Status Quo of Jingyou City 2
Everyone at the table laughed.Yuan Yin put down the soup bowl and said: "Actually, this is not a bad thing. Mingzhu has a bad temper, but her heart is not bad. Wait a little longer, let me think about it."

"Then what about Miss Qiao Yuan?"

"You don't have to worry about her," Yan Amber said with a smile, "Anyway, there is Qing Yi! I heard that she has long been the default candidate for the wife of the young hall master of Qingyue Hall, so I don't worry if no one will marry her."

"Qingyi?" Xixi remembered, and blurted out, "It's that master young master!"

Yuan Yin's face changed instantly, he turned to look at her and asked, "What did you call him just now?"

Xixi blinked her eyes and said: "Master! When I met him for the first time, he jumped from the yellow fruit tree, and his skills were amazing! At that time, I didn't know his name was Qing Yi, nor did I know that he was What is the young hall master of Qingyue Hall, so I call him a master! What's wrong? Did I say something wrong again?"

"No," Yuan Yin quickly sorted out his emotions and restored the calmness on his face, "but you remember, Liang Xixi, I won't let you see Qing Yi again, you have to distinguish between the enemy and us, do you understand? ?”

"I'm a good boy, don't mess around with those killers, don't worry!" Xi Xi laughed.

"I'm serious," Yuan Yin's expression became serious, "If you see Qing Yi again, you are not allowed to talk to him, as far as you can from him, do you hear me?"

"I heard it! I heard it!" Xixi had no choice but to nod repeatedly, "Anyway, when I saw him from behind, I immediately hid away, okay?"

Bingcan and Yan Amber looked at each other with titters on their faces.Xi Xi didn't know what Yuan Yin was worried about, but they knew it well.Xixi looks too much like a pear blossom, so one can imagine Yuan Yin's mood of protecting food.

After Xixi finished speaking just now, she suddenly remembered something, raised her head and asked Cuiyue: "Miss Long, are you familiar with that curator Chen?"

"I'm not very familiar with it, but I've been in business a few times, what's the matter?" Cuiyue stopped her chopsticks and asked.

"Oh, I just want to remind you. Didn't I send Zhang Geng Tie to him today? He told Mother Yin that he was looking for a second wife for himself, but in front of you he said he was looking for his cousin. You have to be careful with such a man, he is duplicity!"

As soon as Xixi said this, the chopsticks in the other hands stopped.Embarrassed, Cuiyue quickly said, "Oh, that's his private matter, I have no control over it. I only have business dealings with him!"

"Why do you have any dealings with him in business?" Bingcan put down his glass and looked at Cuiyue and asked, with a tone of meddling in his tone.

Cuiyue smiled and said: "He has come to my cosmetics shop to buy things a few times, and I went to him to buy a pair of calligraphy and painting, that's all."

"Since he wants to continue, there should be no female relatives at home, so why buy makeup?"

"This... I don't know, maybe it was given to someone else?" Cuiyue noticed that Bingcan's face had changed, and she felt a little panicked.Every time she saw Bingcan's face, she felt involuntarily flustered, and she didn't know what she was afraid of.In fact, she is a very straightforward and outgoing person, and only when she is facing Bing Can, does she feel flustered like this.

"What about today?" Bing Can asked again.

"It was he who told me that he wanted to buy my shop and asked me to negotiate the price. He wanted to lower the price, but I didn't agree. Later, Miss Liang sent Geng Tie." Cuiyue had to explain it all over again.After the explanation, she wondered in her heart, why did she explain it so clearly to this man?Just go out and negotiate a deal by yourself!

Bingcan didn't ask any more questions, and handed the empty wine glass to Yan Amber.Yan Amber hurriedly poured him a glass of wine, and then asked Cuiyue: "Miss Long, why don't you stay in Jingyou City? Do you have to go?"

Cuiyue nodded and said: "Business is not easy, that's why I want to go back to Yucheng. By the way, Miss Liang seems to be quite good at cosmetics. I can see that you are a veteran from the comfrey cream you made. Otherwise, I would put The shop will be sold to you!"

"Me?" Xixi spat out a mouthful of shrimp shells and said, "I have no money! I have 70 taels of silver all over me, not much!"

Cuiyue said again: "It's okay, just give me an IOU, and then wait for you to earn money before giving it to me, wouldn't it be fine?"

"That can't be done!" Xixi shook her head and said, "You are still dragging your children, how can I take advantage of you so much? You should sell it to someone else!"

"How about," Cui Yue glanced at Yuan Yin, "Can you borrow some money from the prince?"

"Borrow from him?" Xixi turned her head and glanced at Yuan Yin. Thinking of the rent, she immediately shook her head and said, "It's a bit difficult to pay back the interest, let's forget it!"

Everyone at the table laughed, and Yuan Yin laughed so hard that he couldn't hold his chopsticks steadily.Yan Amber couldn't bear it anymore, and laughed out loud: "Miss Liang, I'm just curious, have you ever been separated from the master?"

Yuan Yin threw a crab claw to him: "There are so many words!" He still couldn't help laughing: "Miss Liang, how about I lend you some? No interest."

"Can you?" Xixi was really tempted.Cuiyue's shop has a very good reputation in the city, and if it's ready-made, plus the few new products it has developed, it will still make a lot of money.

"Can……"

"Yan Amber," Yuan Yin said with a look at him, "be careful with your arm! Do you want to break it again?"

"Oh," Yan Amber suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "Well... all my money is in the care of Que Ling, I have to go back and ask her."

Xixi suddenly thought of something, if Long Cuiyue is going to leave after closing the shop, what about handsome Bing?She hurriedly smiled and said: "No hurry, anyway, I am not in a hurry to buy a shop. By the way, Miss Long, you really don't need to sell a shop. I heard from Yin's mother that your goods are very good, and there are no other places. It’s an exclusive sale. It would be a pity if you didn’t do it.”

Cuiyue said: "My goods are all bought from Moxiang. Before Lihua passed away... oh, did I mention something I shouldn't have mentioned again?"

"It's okay," Xixi shook her head and said, "Go on!"

"That's good, all of our face powders are exclusively made and sold exclusively. Apart from my one, there is another one in Yucheng, which is managed by the prince's niece Xie Moxiang. Before Lihua passed away, she taught Moxiang how to make face powder. , although not as good as hers, but it is still good. I plan to go back to Yucheng and expand the shop and workshop with Moxiang, so that we can be the only one."

"You asked Xie Moxiang to open the shop and workshop to Jingyou City, so it's over?" Yan Amber asked while chewing on the crab claws with relish.

Cuiyue glanced at Yuan Yin, and said with a faint smile: "I don't know if I should say something or not. In fact, since the chaos a few months ago, Jingyou City's business has not been very easy. It hasn't fallen, but it's hard to do business, and many shops can barely cope with food and drink. Nowadays, people from outside don't dare to come to the city to do business rashly, after all, they have their own minds. My lord, don't be surprised if I say this .”

"It's okay." Yuan Yin took a sip of wine sullenly and said, "I can see it from the list that was presented earlier."

"What's the mess?" Xixi asked.

"It's a long story, anyway, it's just an incident caused by some people with ulterior motives who instigated the refugees who took refuge in the city last year," Cuiyue said, "The disturbance was quite fierce, and many colleagues made hastily I left the shop and went to other places or my hometown. Although it has been two or three months, the business in the city has still been affected.”

Xixi glanced at Yuan Yin and said, "Hey, the court hasn't dismissed you as a prince?"

"What do you think?" Yan Amber took over the conversation, "Because of this matter, the master went to Bianjing City to explain to the emperor in person. Fortunately, the emperor is newly enthroned, and the master has to support him, otherwise he will go back to the court Those who don't like the master have killed the master a few times ago! But having said that, our Jingyou City has been affected a lot this time."

"Isn't the chaos already over?" Xixi asked curiously, "Wouldn't it be enough to attract people to do business?"

Yan Amber shook her head lightly and said, "It's not that easy. Speaking of which, the master's reputation outside is not very good. Do you know his nickname?"

"I know, Yama with Ten Faces, it sounds scary."

"So, when something like that happens, the timid dare not come here, and the courageous don't have to come here, right? Who doesn't want to make a fortune in business, and be stable?"

Xixi finally understands that Zhao Yuanyin's reputation is not very good although he has an excellent record. In addition, there has been a disturbance, the local businessmen have already fled, let alone foreign businessmen, who will come?This is also the most troublesome thing for Yuan Yin in the past three months.She thought for a while and said: "If you can't attract foreign businessmen, let's stimulate domestic demand!"

"Domestic demand?" Cuiyue asked, "What is domestic demand?"

"If foreign businessmen don't come, it's naturally frightening. If you can enliven the local businessmen, first enliven the city, and spread them one by one. Naturally, there will be profit-seeking businessmen willing to come."

"That's what you said, but how can you talk about a way to stimulate domestic demand?"

"You have to make the people in the city willing to pay for it. For example, if you want to choose a concubine in Prince You's Mansion, Miss Long's rouge, clothes from the tailor's shop, and jewelry from the silver building are sure to sell well!" Xi Xi beat He snapped his fingers and smiled triumphantly.

Yan Amber let out a chuckle, gave Xixi a thumbs-up and said, "Miss Liang, you are so willing! Let the master openly choose a concubine, you are so cruel that you will cut off your heart!"

"I'm just making an analogy!" Xixi suddenly said a little anxiously, "I just want to tell you, you have to make a big noise, otherwise who will bother you to scare You City? Besides, in Youwang's Mansion He's not the only man, right? Lord Bingcan, Mr. Zhaoxun, and you, can't you all choose?"

Yuan Yin couldn't help laughing, he still couldn't bear to hear her words, so he stretched out his hand and patted her waist and asked: "Don't just talk about it, is it possible to say something?"

"If it's feasible, you have to think about it, and it can't be figured out overnight. The closest one is Miss Long. It might be a good start to start with her makeup shop."

"So," Cuiyue looked at Xixi and smiled, "It's the best for you to take over my shop. I see that you have an idea, and you will definitely be able to run the shop properly."

Xi Xi hurriedly shook her head and said, "I can come up with ideas, but if I ask you to take advantage of you for nothing, I won't feel at ease."

Yuan Yin and Bing Can looked at each other and said: "Well, Liang Xixi, you can come up with a deal as soon as possible, and if it's feasible, let Cui Yue do it."

"Me? But..." Cuiyue became a little anxious.

"Didn't you keep saying that you wanted to return my favor? Don't tell me you're not willing to help me at this time?"

"That's not true..."

"Then it's over? That's the deal!"

At this time, Zhao Xun brought food back from Baoyun Tower.Yan Amber asked: "Isn't there a guard? Would you please Mr. Zhao Xun to go there in person?"

Zhao Xun's expression was not very good, and he pushed away Yan Amber without saying a word.Yuan Yin glanced at him, knowing what was bothering him, and didn't say much.

After a table of people finished eating, Cuiyue went downstairs to breastfeed with her pillows in her arms.Yuanyin and the four started to get busy on the Liangta desk again.Xixi was bored all by herself, so she went back to her room and lay down on the bed to think of a feasible plan.After thinking about it, she fell asleep.When she woke up, it was already bright outside the window.
