At Youshi, Butler Li led a group of people to the store. Sheng Zhiyao heard the sound and quickly called Mei'er and Lan'er to come out.

"Butler Li, you are here."

"Miss, I have brought everyone you asked for."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Butler Li called the people he brought forward.

"Slave, I have just met the young lady." Everyone knelt down and saluted.

"Well, get up." Sheng Zhiyao smiled and waved.

"Thank you, Miss." Everyone stood up and stood in a row.

"Miss, they are all slaves of a death contract. Here is the physical contract. Please keep it." Butler Li took out a stack of paper and handed it to Sheng Zhiyao.

Sheng Zhiyao took the paper, looked at it, and handed it to Mei'er: "You two take them to the backyard first, I'll be right away."

"Yes, Miss." Mei'er responded and Lan'er took the slaves to the backyard.

"Uncle Li, thank you very much for taking the trouble to bring someone here this time." Sheng Zhiyao thanked her sincerely.

"You're welcome, Miss. Are you ready to open a store?"

"Yes, it is being planned."

"Well, I won't disturb you any more. Remember to come back for dinner in the evening. I'll go back first."

"I know, Uncle Li, walk slowly."

"Come back soon." Butler Li bowed his hands and left.

After Butler Li left, Sheng Zhiyao turned and walked towards the backyard.

The servants in the backyard gathered together. Sheng Zhiyao looked at those people and asked, "Are you willing to follow me?"

"Miss, the young ones are willing."

"Well, I will establish the rules here today."

"Yes, please give me your instructions, Miss."

"The first rule is loyalty. Only loyal people can live longer. Since ancient times, those who have betrayed their trust will not end well."

"Don't worry, young lady, I will never do anything to seek glory from the Lord."

"Okay, in that case, let's talk about the second rule. The second rule is don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't ask about what you shouldn't ask, and don't know about what you shouldn't know."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Third, don't think that I am easy to fool since I was young. You must know that women are the hardest to fool in this world."

Everyone nodded again. They looked at this little kid who was no taller than a stool, and thought to themselves that although this little girl is young, she is extremely experienced in speaking and doing things. She is definitely not a simple person.

"Okay, that's all I have to explain. From now on, you can follow Mei'er and Lan'er and start cleaning the backyard. After all, this is where you want to live. Let's just make do with it for one night tonight. I'll clean up the backyard tomorrow.

Bring all your things here, Mei'er will be responsible for your food, clothing, housing and transportation from now on. If you need anything, just tell her."

"Yes, miss."

"Well, you go down and do your work first. I will come to train you personally tomorrow."

"Yes, Miss." Everyone followed the order and left.

After the lecture, Sheng Zhiyao smiled with satisfaction. Seeing everyone proceeding according to her plan, she felt relaxed and happy.

Now she still needs to renovate the backyard a little, including a few beauty beds and some furniture. Thinking of this, she immediately walked out of the backyard and walked towards the carriage at the door.

She remembered that the old Marquis's furniture in Chuanxiang Garden seemed to have been made by a carpenter. She could learn from it first. She got on the carriage and told the driver to return to the Marquis' mansion.

As the carriage sped along, Sheng Zhiyao closed her eyes and rested. All that came to her mind were her plans for the future of this store.

Arriving at the Hou Mansion, Sheng Zhiyao jumped off the carriage and ran towards Qingliu Courtyard.

But Sheng Hangu's voice suddenly came from behind: "Sister, why are you running so fast?"

Sheng Zhiyao stopped immediately after hearing this, turned around slowly, looked at Sheng Hangu and said with a smile: "Third brother, I'm talking to grandpa about something."

"Oh? What happened?"

"Haha, actually it's nothing serious. I just want to ask grandpa how the furniture in Chuanxiang Garden was made."

"So that's it. I'm fine anyway, so I'll accompany you to find grandpa." Sheng Hangu smiled.

"good."

So the two of them came to the courtyard where the old marquis lived.

"Zhiyao, are you back?" Old Marquis asked when he saw Sheng Zhiyao smiling.

"Well, grandpa, I'm looking for you for something important."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"I want to ask you which carpenter you used to make the bed furniture in Chuanxiang Garden. I also want to ask him to help make something."

"Sichuan Xiangyuan?"

"Well, grandpa, can you take me there?"

"Zhiyao, this matter is not urgent. You have dinner first." The old Marquis said, turned around and walked to the table.

"Uh..." Sheng Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, but she still obediently sat down next to the old Marquis and waited.

Soon, Butler Li came over with dishes. Looking at the various dishes on the table, the old Marquis greeted: "Li Qiao, sit down and eat too."

"Yes, sir." Butler Li did not hesitate, walked to the table and sat down.

Sheng Zhiyao looked at the table full of dishes and swallowed her saliva involuntarily. After a busy day, she almost forgot that she hadn't eaten yet.

Sheng Hangu noticed Sheng Zhiyao's little movements and couldn't help but laugh.

"Why are you laughing!" Sheng Zhiyao glared at Sheng Hangu and complained.

Sheng Hangu was glared at and couldn't help but laugh even harder.

"Okay, grandpa, tell me quickly, how are your furniture made?"

"Tell me first what's going on in that shop." The old Marquis did not answer Sheng Zhiyao's question directly, but changed the subject.

Sheng Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Did Butler Li tell you?"

The old Marquis didn't speak, he just looked at her, waiting for her answer.

"Just try what the Queen gave you that day."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Hangu stood up excitedly: "What? The Queen gave you a shop? Where is it? How big is it? Is it valuable?"

Mr. Sheng ignored Sheng Hangu's words and continued to ask: "The Queen gave it to you? Then why did she give it to you? It can't be because you won the competition, right?"

"Well, I got it in exchange for a box of facial masks."

"Facial mask? What the hell?" This was the first time Sheng Hangu heard this word.

"Oh?" The old Marquis raised his eyebrows: "This reason makes sense. You girl is really getting more and more outrageous. How can you use such despicable means?"

"Grandpa, I'm not happy when you say that. What do you mean by means?" Sheng Zhiyao said dissatisfied.

"Then what do you want me to say?"

"This is called business cooperation. I promised to let the Queen be the largest shareholder, and I will be responsible for the management. After making money, I will distribute dividends to her. This is called cooperation, not a means."

After hearing Sheng Zhiyao's words, Mr. Sheng was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say. However, he didn't blame her in his heart. He was just afraid that if she accepted the land deed, she would be criticized by the courtiers in the future.

"Okay, this can only be done like this. I can't ask you to return it." The old Marquis waved his hand, not wanting to dwell on this matter anymore.

"Grandpa, don't be angry, this is business, for public purposes." Sheng Zhiyao said coquettishly.

The old marquis shook his head helplessly.

"What what? Grandpa, what are you and your sister talking about? Why can't I understand a word? What facial mask? What business cooperation? What is corporate business?" Sheng Hangu asked curiously.

"It's strange that you understand." Old Marquis Sheng glanced at Sheng Hangu angrily.
