Chapter 450
As the new store opened, Yun Xiaoshuang has become a popular figure in the capital these days. Although fame is a good thing for business, too big reputation will attract grudges from the family. Moreover, the owner behind a slightly famous restaurant and teahouse in Beijing is a person who tells people to shake the tremble. This makes Lin Jiyuan and Wu Shu a little worried. Yun Xiaoshuang is still young and does not know the various things behind it.
The two thought about mentioning their granddaughter, so they found a day to come to Yun Xiaoshuang's yard.
Wu Shu first instructed the maid around her to prepare some food that Yun Xiaoshuang loved, and then walked into the courtyard with Lin Jiyuan.
Yun Xiaoshuang has already started a family and is still living in the Bachelor's Mansion. One reason is that her grandfather's Bachelor's Mansion has settled on Chang'an Street, which makes it convenient for her to go back and forth to the newly opened restaurant. The second reason is that due to the poisoning incident, her grandmother has become more and more precious to her granddaughter. In addition, her previous experience of being left outside, she has always kept her here and spends more time with the elderly. This has made Zhao Mocheng very unhappy, and she wants to separate from her wife when she is married. What a moral!
Yun Xiaoshuang covered her lips with her sleeves and laughed at him as the jealous king in the capital. What a newlywed, she is obviously an old husband and wife!
And I just went back to my parents' home to live for a while, so why did I say that I didn't want him anymore?
Seeing Wu Shu and Lin Jiyuan enter the house, Yun Xiaoshuang hurriedly put down the account book in her hand and stood up to greet her.
"Grandfather and grandmother are here." She turned around and angrily said to the maid who sneaked behind her from the door, "Shuiyue, girl! She is getting more and more unruly, and she doesn't even inform me of her grandfather and grandmother."
"Shuang'er, what else do you see with us? You have lost weight every day when you run to the street." Wu Shu looked at her baby granddaughter's slender body and felt distressed again, "Grandmother brought you your favorite osmanthus cheese and almond crisps, try it."
Although Lin Jiyuan also loved this granddaughter very much, his majesty as an imperial teacher had not faded away from him. As soon as he entered the room, he glanced at the account book on Yun Xiaoshuang's table. Although the way of accounting was a bit strange (Yun Xiaoshuang drew a modern version of the account book himself), the items were very detailed every day. He ignored his wife and granddaughter who had already sat down and started to have a family matter. He walked straight to Yun Xiaoshuang's table, looked through pages of accounts, and frowned and said nothing.
Yun Xiaoshuang had long seen Lin Jiyuan very interested in her account book. She scooped a spoonful of cheese, which was sweet and smooth and refreshing, and the aroma of osmanthus instantly filled her mouth.
While tasting the dessert, she was paying attention to her grandfather's actions at any time. Seeing her frowning look slightly surprised, she couldn't help but feel proud.
Hehe, after all, I am a doctoral student who has been baptized by modern advanced mathematics and statistics. She not only can easily grasp this simple application problem of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but also can add icing on the cake.
You should know that in ancient times, women were not able to get in touch with the business and accounts of their family. Even if they married a wife and became the mistress of the family, they had to be specially trained by their mother's family. Before Yun Xiaoshuang became an adult, she lived with her adoptive father. How could that illiterate man teach her to do the accounts? If she had not had her modern mind, Yun Xiaoshuang might not have escaped the fate of "a woman without talent is virtue" in her life.
"Shuang'er, this time my grandfather and I came here to talk about business with you." Wu Shu knew that Yun Xiaoshuang was a person who didn't like to go around the corner, so she explained her purpose straight to the point.
Yun Xiaoshuang immediately guessed that she was going to talk about the restaurant. She winked at the maid Shuiyue beside her. Shuiyue took all the little maids to leave the house and closed the door and guarded outside.
Yun Xiaoshuang also knew that the restaurant's business was getting better and better day by day, and became a big talk in Beijing. Whether it was a gathering of young masters from aristocratic families or ordinary heroes passing by, she heard that the most famous restaurant in the city had to join in the fun.
As the boss lady, Yun Xiaoshuang ran to the restaurant all day long after she had time. In fact, she also released a lot of rumors by herself. Of course, she knew that the taste was the key to a restaurant's reputation.
But she was born in an era when there were many raw materials in ancient times, even Michelin three-star chefs were helpless, and she could only do the best style and quality. In the early stages of the opening of the semicolon, she also needed to keep running errands to screen materials and sign agreements with farmers to purchase at a low price. If she was different from other big and small taverns and teahouses in Beijing, she just copied the ideas of modern hotel management, such as the membership system, the promotion on the 15th day of every month, old customers can enjoy half the price, compared to marketing, these ancient people are not her rivals.
But she also tried some effort in it. Cough, the meal support was not enough to appear in the sketch, let alone she was not a black shop.
"I believe you know the rumors in the capital these days, Shuang'er, you are still young. In fact, we are proud of you when you see the prosperity of your business. However, the big tree attracts wind, and the capital is not as calm as you see on the surface."
Wu Shu pulled Yun Xiaoshuang's hand and gently patted the back of her slightly cold hand.
"The power in the capital is mixed. Although you have our Scholar Mansion and Xiaoyao Marquis' Mansion behind you, just like the storm in the court, the constraints of each family are already the general trend. The emperor does not like to see a family dominant. If your reputation is too great at this time, others will be jealous and resentful..." Wu Shu's voice became smaller and smaller. She glanced at her husband and signaled him to explain that the affairs in the court were not something that she, a woman, could explain clearly.
"Shuang'er, what your grandmother means..." Lin Jiyuan stroked his beard. Although he really appreciated his granddaughter's talent in doing business and keeping accounts, it would be better to give it a little for safety.
"A big tree attracts wind. Although the Bachelor's Mansion and the Xiaoyao Marquis's legitimate son did not make too many enemies, the entire capital's land is allocated by every inch. In the Bachelor's Mansion, we can still protect you, but the streets of the capital are not decided by our family. If Shuang'er, if you want to survive for a long time, remember to leave room for yourself and don't be caught."
"What grandfather said is."
Yun Xiaoshuang felt a little sad after hearing Lin Jiyuan's words. Indeed, she was careless. She wanted to develop her career in the capital, but forgot that the capital was not a peaceful place, and the aristocratic family was even more peaceful on the surface, and she wanted the other party to make a mistake and was stabbed in front of the emperor to get a mistake. She just thought about marketing, but ignored the most basic security issue. She should leave a way out for herself. She was not worried that she would be targeted. After all, she had a hundred ways to make a trip to her life is worse than death, but the emperor was suspicious that she knew. If someone talked a little more in front of the emperor, it would probably affect her grandfather and Mo Cheng. The warmth she had finally obtained in this world was ruined by her carelessness, she might be crazy.
No matter what, I have to protect myself and my family first, and wait until I am full of wings... Yun Xiaoshuang clenched her fists secretly, she wanted to make herself stronger.
"Shuang'er, grandparents don't expect wealth and honor, they just hope you can be safe and sound." These words reminded Yun Xiaoshuang of her mother in her previous life. Her eyes were a little sore. Looking at her older grandparents, she held back her tears.
"Don't worry, grandma, Shuang'er understands." She blessed the two old men and told her next plan.
"Shuang'er is young and ignorant, and she makes her grandfather and grandmother feel sad. I'll compensate her first." She invited all her grandfather and grandmother, took the account book beside her, and looked through the monthly account details. "Grandfather said right, I really don't need to devote all my energy to the restaurant."
"I originally planned to open a restaurant in Beijing that can accommodate officials and distinguished guests to the city's Nomura man. I blame me for being too greedy. In fact, after reading the accounts over the past few months, I realized that she moistened her voice. "Why would the villagers come to my restaurant specifically for a meal? The cheapest dishes in the restaurant cost 25 cents, and the worst seller is also the cheapest. People will not spend 25 cents for a bowl of plain noodles, and the rich family will not come to my restaurant but order 25 cents."
"So, I decided to retreat behind the scenes. I would nominally transfer the restaurant to Lu Zi'an. I will no longer participate in the restaurant management, and I will also change the style of the restaurant. I originally planned to collect information, but if the people are present, the aristocratic families and officials will definitely not disclose anything. It is better to transform into a high-end restaurant."
Lin Jiyuan and Wu Shu also agreed with Yun Xiaoshuang's plan. This would not be too ostentatious, and secondly, they could continue to make profits. Lin Jiyuan looked at his energetic granddaughter, his eyes full of relief.
After deciding to retreat behind the scenes, Yun Xiaoshuang also said that she was going back to the Zhao Mansion. After living in the Lin family for so long, Zhao Mocheng was almost crazy, especially in the past few days, she could write four or five books a day and urge her to go home in a variety of ways. Yun Xiaoshuang complained, but it made her grandfather and grandmother laugh. Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiaoyao Hou loved her granddaughter so much. How could the old couple in the Lin family dominate their granddaughter and prevent them from reuniting. The two were naturally happy that the couple could love each other. Wu Shu said nothing and immediately said that she would "repay Yun Xiaoshuang back to the mansion tomorrow." This made Yun Xiaoshuang laugh and cry.
Early the next morning, Yun Xiaoshuang was dragged from the bed, and her grandmother brought her a lot of things. When she left the bachelor's mansion, she saw that the carriage was waiting at the door. With a feeling that she seemed to be "driven out" by being disliked, Yun Xiaoshuang said goodbye to Lin Jiyuan and Wu Shu, and walked in the mist of the morning and returned to the Zhao Mansion, which had been away for a long time.
Zhao Mocheng had been waiting for her at the door. Seeing his beloved husband's unhappy expression, Yun Xiaoshuang burst out laughing. Someone felt honest and told him yesterday that he was going to come back, but he had gotten up and waited for her here early, but looking at his dark circles at the moment, I was afraid that he hadn't slept all night. She immediately walked up to him, but her smile remained unabashed, so sour.
"Why are you laughing at? Is this funny?" Zhao Mocheng's face that could freeze to death was slightly calmer after seeing Yun Xiaoshuang, but he still put on a bad face, but his body was honestly leaning over.
