For Priscilla Wu, no matter what she faces next, if she can give birth to her child safely, it will be all worth it.
In the palace, she has two people she trusts very much.
Moreover, she was kind to both of them. When they had trouble at home before, she helped solve the problem when they asked her for help.
Over time, they all fell in love with Priscilla Wu.
One of them was relatively old. After he was released, Priscilla Wu asked his father to secretly transfer his property. As a result, the family that was originally a wealthy family has almost become extremely rich after accumulating in the past few years.
Wu Huixian is worried that someone with malicious intentions will target them next, especially in this situation.
She is no longer as favored as before, and it is absolutely easy for others to touch them.
Wu's father was also a little worried in this regard, so as soon as the people sent by Wu Huixian told him about the situation, he started to take action. He has the unique shrewdness of a businessman.
Very consciously, he sent a hundred thousand taels to the emperor.
This move made the emperor very comfortable. One-third of the family wealth was dispersed, and it was much easier to transfer the rest. After all, the world only knew that they had money, but they didn't know how much.
Cang Xiuxuan has taken over the remaining wealth, but has not touched it yet.
This house is the only one he has ever used. Firstly, it is because this house contains many things that his mother used during her lifetime. Secondly, it is also because this house is secretive.
"Take a good rest these two days, and you can also contact the people from the Protector's side first."
Cang Xiuxuan knew that this was the most important purpose of Song Chen's visit this time.
"Let's talk about it two days later. I have other things to do right now."
She knew that it would not be easy to accept the Protector's people, so before that, she might as well take care of other things first.
Seeing the sparkling look in her eyes, Cang Xiuxuan probably knew what she was going to do.
"Are you ready to make money from people in Beijing?"
Song Chen nodded, "Although we have cooperated with Liuweizhai before, it is their business after all. I want to open up my own business and cannot stay limited to Baofeng County."
Although she also made a lot of money in Baofeng County during this period, and also made a lot of money through Huichuntang and Liuweizhai, she was still thinking about how to start a career of her own.
A career where she doesn’t depend on anyone, and where no matter what happens, the final decision rests with her.
As a modern person, she understands best what people of this era need.
However, no matter whether you are modern or ancient people, one thing is common.
Women make the best money.
**
Song Chen's previous visit to Beijing was not for this purpose, so he did not pay attention to this aspect.
Now that I am focusing on my career, I have discovered that housing prices in Beijing are ridiculously high.
It's almost on par with modern capital cities.
Of course, this is also based on the prices of this era.
After getting to know each other for a day, Song Chen even thought of giving up.
It was also at this time that she realized that the little money she had earned before was really nothing.
When she came to a place like Shangjing, the little money she had could just buy a house, and she would have nothing to worry about for the rest of her life.
Just a well-off family.
But then I thought about it, if the dynasty was stable, such a life would be good.
But the reality is not like this. The situation they will face next is quite dangerous.
Whether it's for herself, her family, or Cang Xiuxuan, she needs more money.
It is true that I feel a little uncomfortable when I think about it this way.
Before...she was really too self-righteous.
After returning home, Song Chen locked himself in the room. Cang Xiuxuan didn't see her when he came back. After asking, he found out that she had locked him up.
Cang Xiuxuan was so frightened that he hurried over.
Thinking something happened to her on the street.
In the room, Song Chen's performance was actually very dull, but he was not interested in anything.
Cang Xiuxuan walked over and took her hand, "Are you having trouble?"
Song Chen sighed, "I suddenly felt a little depressed. The housing prices in Beijing are simply too expensive. Looking back, I didn't seem to have done anything, but I was too self-righteous. The money I earn now is nothing at all."
Cang Xiuxuan didn't expect that this was what made her unhappy, "Then what are you going to do next?"
Cang Xiuxuan knew Song Chen's character. At this time, the last thing she needed was the comfort of others.
Sure enough, as soon as Cang Xiuxuan asked this question, Song Chen felt as if he had been given a shot of blood, "Of course I will continue to make money. I want to make a lot of money. It is best to count money every day until my hands cramp!"
Cang Xiuxuan chuckled, "This is the Song Chen I know. He is always full of fighting spirit, but you have to remember that no matter what emotions you have, you can show them in front of me, just like today.
"
Although he couldn't really empathize with her, he could listen to her and at least make her feel better.
Or, he can help solve some things.
In fact, what Song Chen was most afraid of was the rather sensational scene. The moment she heard Cang Xiuxuan come in, she was afraid that he would pull her into his arms without saying a word, and say in a very domineering manner: "Don't leave."
Afraid, I have everything.
Fortunately... fortunately he didn't say that.
If this was really the case, she might have goosebumps all over her body.
She has never been a weak person, and she feels that the best way for two people to get along is to be evenly matched.
Although it's not possible yet, she will definitely try her best to do it.
Cang Xiuxuan can be her backer or her reliance, but he is definitely not her dependence!
"At this time, I discovered that it is quite comfortable to have someone to talk to for a few more words. All the negative energy has gone away, and I can continue to look for shops tomorrow."
Although Cang Xiuxuan didn't know what the negative energy she was talking about was, he knew from what she said that it should be something bad. Now that those things have disappeared, it would be the best.
"Have you chosen where exactly you want to open your shop? What do you want to sell?"
Cang Xiuxuan has some shops that were left behind by his grandfather. He has not moved them. He has been collecting rent these years. If there is a location she has chosen, he can help.
Song Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Are you going to help me?"
Cang Xiuxuan smiled and shook his head, "You are overthinking. I happen to have a shop in hand. If you are interested in it, wouldn't it be the same if you rent or buy it directly from me? Anyway, I am renting to others.
It’s not like I don’t want your money.”
Cang Xiuxuan already knew how persistent Song Chen was in this aspect when he was in Chongyun Town because of the incident at the restaurant. Now he would naturally not say anything about not asking for money again.
Song Chen didn't think much about it when he heard what he said, "Isn't the shop you own already rented to someone else? Wouldn't it be inappropriate if people quit now?"
"It doesn't matter. You can move him to another place. You will be given priority. You won't let me give you this small convenience."
"That's true. This is a girlfriend's privilege. I accept it."
As long as you give him money or something, that's fine. Remember him as a small favor and repay him later. It's totally fine.
To think about it another way, if she were to find a shop by herself and find a suitable place, she might also raise the price and ask the owner to rent the shop to her, or she might directly negotiate with someone else and buy the shop directly.
At that time, it will also happen that the people who rented the shops before will move out.
Although the other party was somewhat unjust, under the capital environment, this is the most normal scene.
She is not the Holy Mother and will not be overflowing with sympathy. As long as Cang Xiuxuan has arrangements, everything will be fine.
"So pack it up and let's go for a walk?"
With Song Chen's resolute personality, it would be impossible for her to wait until tomorrow. Cang Xiuxuan simply took her to settle the matter today.
Song Chen naturally had no objection, washed his face and followed Cang Xiuxuan out.
The skin care and beauty products she wants to buy this time must be in a prosperous place, away from the gathering places of the powerful. She does not expect these powerful people to travel across half of the city to find slums.
As soon as Song Chen stated his request, Cang Xiuxuan already had a choice in his mind.
At that time, his grandfather had accumulated a lot of family property, including many shops and so on.
There are five shops in this most prosperous street alone that Song Chen is interested in.
Cang Xiuxuan took Song Chen to the one with the best location and the largest area.
There was a clothing store at that location, but judging from the people coming in and out, it seemed like the business wasn't very good.
Cang Xiuxuan paid a little attention and found it quite interesting. According to the orders he had received before, almost all of these shops changed very little after they were rented out. This cloth shop... seems to be run by them themselves.
"See that cloth shop over there?"
Cang Xiuxuan pointed it to Song Chen. Song Chen looked in the direction pointed by Cang Xiuxuan's finger and nodded, "The location is good and it's quite big, but it doesn't look like the business is very good."
"Well, this cloth shop is made by our own people. We have been here all these years, so it is considered an old shop."
"No wonder." Song Chen understood. "According to the land price and rent here, such a shop will definitely be a loss. But if it is built by one's own people, there will be no problem. There is no such thing as rent."
"The purpose of this shop here is not to make money." Cang Xiuxuan whispered into Song Chen's ear, "Gather intelligence."
He had not thought of this matter before, and it was only after he came here that he remembered the role of this place.
"Then you still bring me here?" Song Chen frowned. With such an arduous task, it would be hard for her to keep her sights here.
"What is collected here is not the main intelligence. The main target is some officials. If there is no place here, there are other places. Besides, if you open a shop, can you not help me do this? By then, we will make money and have intelligence.
Kill two birds with one stone, no matter how you think about it, you will make money."
