Chapter 51
Ye Ningyu sat quietly, listening to Ye Ningyu elaborate on her doubts about the red deeds and the account books. Ye Ningqiu was not like her eldest sister, who looked at Hemingxuan's account books every month. As for the cost of the restaurant,
Naturally, she couldn’t see too many problems. Unlike Shopkeeper Lin, she was familiar with the shops that only opened in winter. Ye Ningqiu said that she suspected that the owners behind these seemingly unrelated shops might be
It's the same person. After hearing Ye Ningqiu's inference, Ye Ningyu smiled lightly. Sure enough, her sister is very smart, and she must cultivate her well. "You go out with me tomorrow."
"Eldest sister, your injury..." Ye Ningqiu did not ask the eldest sister where she was going, but first thought that she was injured and should not move around too much. "I am sensible, you should go back and rest earlier."
Ye Ningqiu left the box behind and left Qiushuiyuan. The next day, Ye Ningyu woke up very early, and she practiced the exercises for an hour as before. Around midnight, she took Ye Ningyu out. Jiang heard that her daughter
She had to go out again today, so she couldn't help but worry. Ye Ningyu still moved out of the old miracle doctor An, saying that the old miracle doctor had told her that walking around properly would make you feel better faster. Jiang asked Guard Xiao to bring a few people to follow, but Ye Ningyu didn't refuse, because
She was originally going to bring a few people with her. Today, the two sisters were still riding in an inconspicuous little carriage. It stands to reason that Ye Mansion has now become the Duke's Mansion, and Ye Ningyu is the future Princess Yong. She wants to travel.
Although no one sounded the gong to clear the way, the treatment should be treated no matter what. But Ye Ningyu didn't look at this. Ye Ningqiu saw that the eldest sister's trip was so simple, and the guards just followed her from a distance without showing up.
What the eldest sister had to do today was something that was not suitable for publicity. She was very sensible and did not ask too many questions. On Wenxing Street, where people were coming and going, an ordinary carriage slowly stopped at the door of a tea house. Two young girls got out of the carriage.
Coming down one by one, they were all wearing extremely simple and elegant clothes, without any makeup on their faces, or any accessories on their heads. One of them even had a veil on his face. Compared with the exquisitely dressed girls walking around, they were really not that elegant.
It can attract attention. The two entered the teahouse, and the waiter enthusiastically took them into a side room, served hot tea and snacks, and then gently closed the door. "Elder sister..." Ye Ningqiu was about to ask.
What? Ye Ningyu put a finger to her lips, signaling her to be silent. She picked up the pen and paper on the table and wrote a few words: Listen to the noise next door. Ever since Ye Ningqiu grew up, she has never
Having done this thing of listening to the corner, her heart was pounding for a moment. She picked up a cup of tea and drank it hard, then put it gently on the table. At this time, a burst of footsteps came from far and near, and then the sound of someone next door came.
The door was pushed open, and several people walked in. After a while, there were sounds of seats being moved and tea being poured, and someone started talking. "Two shopkeepers, let's open the skylight and talk openly. I need a lot of people in this shop."
"Sir, Shopkeeper Lin came first, but Shopkeeper Du gave me a lot of money. We are all businessmen, and I don't want to offend anyone. I invited you two here today to make a decision on the spot."
Ye Ningqiu was stunned. It seemed that there were three people in the next room. What they were talking about seemed to be related to some shop, but she didn't know why the eldest sister brought her here to eavesdrop. Ye Ningqiu remained calm and continued to listen.
"You also said that I was the one who came here first. Businessmen don't care about honesty and trustworthiness. Now that I have found you, it shows my sincerity."
Ye Ningyu recognized that it was shopkeeper Lin's voice. "We have added the price to this, and we are sincere. Do you know what I am going to do with this shop?"
This was the voice of another person. Ye Ningyu knew that this person must be the one competing with Shopkeeper Lin for the shop. Shopkeeper Lin snorted coldly, "We each do our own business, what shop do you open has nothing to do with me?"
"No."
The man straightened his back and his tone became proud. "We are going to open a bookstore here. I have always loved students during my pilgrimage. Our boss has traveled to various countries in recent years and collected many unique classics, all of which are treasures."
Once this shop opens, it will definitely be a gathering place for literati and students, and maybe even the Hanlin officials from the imperial court will set foot there. By renting the shop to us, you will not only gain a good reputation, but also make a lot of money."
"We opened a tea shop and sold it to civil servants and students. I also have what he has."
Shopkeeper Lin said disdainfully, but his tone was not as strong as the other party. He had some doubts about opening a tea shop. The eldest girl could tell that tea would become a hot commodity in the Yu Kingdom within three months, but after all, seeing is believing.
Tell him exactly what the girl said to him. The shop seller seemed a little shaken, and his voice was thoughtful. "I think... Shopkeeper Du is more reasonable."
Ye Ningyu took the pen and paper in her hand and wrote something quickly. Then she walked to the window and handed a note outside. Someone picked it up outside the house. Soon, there was a knock on the door next door, and then someone
Go in. Next door, shopkeeper Lin took the note that the waiter handed to him when he mixed the tea, slowly opened it, and immediately relaxed his frown. "Tea is a first-class product of the Yu Kingdom. Last year, His Majesty issued a decree to encourage the people to
We are doing this to comply with the national order and to take the lead in opening private businesses. Once our tea shop is opened, it will definitely become a model for most shops in most cities within half a year!"
Shopkeeper Lin looked at the note in his hand, and then looked at the two people sitting opposite him, with a proud look on his face. The man selling the shop seemed to be hesitant, "Well... what Shopkeeper Lin said makes sense."
There was a brief silence in the room next door. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door next door. It was also the sound of a shopkeeper mixing tea. After a while, the shopkeeper Du spoke. "Tea is not a necessity, but a solitary classic is.
The most important thing for scholars in our country is to expand knowledge for students and accumulate talents for our country. This is a major matter for the country and the glory of our businessmen. Shopkeeper Xu must take a long-term view."
It turned out that the person selling the shop was called Shopkeeper Xu. Ye Ningyu frowned and picked up a pen and paper to write quickly. The note was sent out again. After a while, Shopkeeper Lin next door straightened his back and cleared his throat. "
The role of tea is much greater than what you say. Liang is a big tea-producing country, and Dayu has never produced tea. But if the trade between the two countries is mutually beneficial, if Liang's tea is exchanged for Chinese goods, and Chinese ceramics are exchanged for silk from neighboring countries, in the long run,
Our country's trade is connected to Rongdi in the north, Southern Tang in the south, and Daliang in the west. When it comes to major national affairs, what else is bigger than the mutual exchange of commerce and trade between the two countries and the benefit of the people?"
The two people in the room were stunned when they heard what Shopkeeper Lin said. It was obviously beyond their understanding. In fact, Shopkeeper Lin and Shopkeeper Du had long been transformed into two emotionless note-reading tools. If the emperor and the officials were
Here, you will probably be shocked by their conversation. A small teahouse can actually talk about such a national policy. In Ye Ningyu's room, she slowly took the paper and pen and wrote a few words, but did not send them out.
, but showed it to Ye Ningqiu. "There is also someone next door."
Ye Ningqiu also guessed it, and she nodded. After a while, the waiter knocked on the door next door for an unknown number of times. There was only a long silence inside, and then he heard shopkeeper Du's doubtful and unwilling voice, "We don't want this shop anymore.
