Early the next morning, Shen Qing followed Baili Yunzhi to the restaurant under Panxia to check the results. When doing business, one has to pay attention to the right time, place, and people. She was lucky enough to have both sides of the situation. In the end, naturally, she couldn't be in trouble.
When Shopkeeper Hu saw her and Mr. Baili coming, he immediately brought the best tea, "Madam, this tea was bought according to the list Mr. Baili brought. It is all the best tea from Yipinxiangna in Kyoto City. Please try it."
Taste it."
The green porcelain cup contained flower tea with daisies and wolfberry. Shen Qing took it, smelled it, took a few sips, and praised with a smile: "It tastes good. Fortunately, Shopkeeper Hu, you are familiar with this part of Kyoto City, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do this."
Find the right and good tea soon."
Shopkeeper Hu smiled sheepishly, and Shen Qing put the tea aside, "Shopkeeper Hu, I won't be able to come here often in the future. You have to supervise the simple decoration here, so I'm sorry for bothering you."
Shopkeeper Hu, who was flattered, said quickly: "Madam, you are so polite. Madam can help me when I am in the most critical moment, and she doesn't mind letting me stay. Don't worry, from now on, as long as Madam tells me, I will decide everything that happens in this building."
I will do my best to serve my wife!"
At first, Shopkeeper Hu thought that this lady looked unfamiliar and she was probably from a wealthy family from out of town. Unexpectedly, she was the new wife of General Mo Yu. Yesterday, he heard news that the Holy Emperor had appointed her to organize the Winter Solstice celebration. He
It can be considered a stroke of luck for me to meet such a great supporter when I was desperate.
Moreover, this lady is not at all like the usual arrogant and bullying aristocrats. She looks very kind in everything she does and speaks. Even though they are far apart in age, he is willing to listen to her orders.
With just a few words, he immediately won over people's hearts. Baili Yunzhi on the side raised a knowing smile. He had seen Qingluo's skills so many times that he didn't find it strange.
As she was talking, Shen Qing glanced at a little girl being supported by a waiter coming out of the private room behind Shopkeeper Hu. Her face was pale and she walked slowly. She looked straight at her, "Madam."
Shen Qing was stunned for a moment, and then she recalled that this little girl was the maid she had saved when she and Zhao Suxue made trouble in the restaurant that day. After Zhao Suxue left that day, Shen Qing asked Nadu to take her to the hospital for treatment, and told her that if she didn't settle down,
If there is a place, you can come and stay at the restaurant first, then walk over and say, "If you are not feeling well, don't come out. Just lie down and rest."
The little girl took advantage of her body and knelt down in front of her, "Thank you madam for being willing to save me. I have been waiting for several days just to thank madam in person for your life-saving grace."
Shen Qing felt that he deserved it, and it was unexpected that he would fight that day. "It's just a small matter, no need to pay such a big courtesy, please get up quickly."
Shopkeeper Hu followed and knew that she was injured and could not speak, so he spoke up for her: "Madam, she told me before that she wanted to beg Madam to let her stay and repay her kindness."
The little girl was frail and had delicate features. If she hadn't been ill now, she would have been a very good girl. Shen Qing thought that she had offended Zhao Suxue before and couldn't go back, so she said softly: "If you want to stay,
Just stay here, you don't have to repay my kindness, just stay here and work for me after you recover from your injuries, I will pay you every month, don't worry, I'm not such a tricky employer."
The little girl kneeling on the ground was stunned for a moment, then her eyes were full of emotion, and she quickly kowtowed to thank her. Shen Qing motioned to the waiter beside her to help her go back to rest, and then she took a rest.
Baili Yun led Shen Qing directly to the largest private room in the restaurant, "Qingluo, tell me the truth, what kind of business do you want to do now?"
The more he thought about it, the more uncertain he became. First, he wanted to decorate the restaurant in a simple way. The layout plan she gave was to make the restaurant look very powdery, and then she asked him to find a few smart, smart, and pretty women to come back.
Although she had said early on that it didn't matter if she was married or not, he still couldn't see what kind of business she wanted to do.
I just listened to what she said to that little girl, and wondered why it looked so similar... "You don't want to open a brothel in Kyoto City, do you?"
Shen Qing was stunned at first and then looked at him speechlessly, "Do I look like the kind of woman who wants to force girls into prostitution?"
Baili Yun said deliberately: "I really can't guess that you like money so much."
"Brother Yunzhi! You underestimate me too much. I am not someone who abandons my moral bottom line just for money!" Shen Qing lowered his head proudly and took out a thick secret book from his arms, "I can follow you.
So, I want to open a restaurant that looks like a brothel, but the people we serve are not men, but women!"
"Woman?" This time it was Baili Yunzhi's turn to be surprised.
Shen Qing nodded. Kyoto City was the place with the highest concentration of high-ranking officials and aristocrats in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Rich people abounded on the streets. Naturally, she had to do high-end business. With not much time, she wanted to make money easily while also thinking about Kyoto City.
To establish her own position, of course she cannot lag behind others, so she did not waste any time on her way to Kyoto City and made all the preliminary preparations for this business early in the morning.
"What is that book?"
Baili Yun was curious and wanted to take a look. Shen Qing shrank her hands and feet neatly and refused to let him look at it. "It's not easy to show you this thing now. When it opens, you will probably understand it."
In fact, the business Shen Qing wants to do is very common in modern times. It is the beauty salon that all upper-class women love to spend money on. This is common no matter in which era. No matter whether it is an aristocratic lady or a noble lady, who doesn't want to look beautiful?
What?, In order to have a beautiful face, women often spend a lot of money without hesitation. Naturally, she cannot let go of this kind of business.
Of course, the course for a famous young woman in her previous life was to take care of herself in a beauty SPA. She naturally learned a lot as she went there more. In addition, she once invested in a friend's beauty salon business, so she was very familiar with the research and development of product ingredients and essential oils.
Very familiar too.
On the way to Kyoto City, a complete set of implementation plans and response plans have been compiled, and the difficulties encountered now can basically be overcome. Originally, the decoration of the restaurant was overseen by Yunzhi and shopkeeper Hu, and she was responsible for teaching those who were hired.
Girls still have plenty of time to learn beauty and makeup techniques.
But now she still has to take care of the celebration. It seems that in the coming days, she will become a workaholic again.
*
When we are busy, time flies by in a hurry, and the winter solstice celebration is getting closer day by day.
Shen Qing was running around in and out of the palace every day, and the general was often referred by the emperor to talk about things. She secretly wondered that the old emperor was really very kind to the general, and felt better than he did to his own son... Of course,
She didn't dare to say this in front of the general.
Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice celebration. After Shen Qing checked all the venue layout and details for the last time, she was ready to go back to the palace to rest. In fact, the old emperor originally wanted her and the general to stay there temporarily, but she was more concerned about herself.
business, so I never spent the night there again.
He raised his head and looked at the starry sky with clear sky and bright moon. The weather tonight was so good, and the weather will definitely be good tomorrow. Shen Qing felt happy that the weather was good, but he suddenly heard voices coming from in front of him.
"Aren't you afraid of falling when you walk like this?"
Shen Qing stopped immediately in shock. The sixth prince was standing only three steps away from her. Shen Qing was annoyed that she had been so stupid and almost bumped into him again, so she quickly took two steps back and calmly walked away.
A gift.
"Qingluo pays his respects to the Sixth Prince." After staying in the palace for so long, she has learned a lot about the rules and etiquette.
Fu Yanche clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly, "You have been in and out of the palace every day recently. Why can't I always see you?"
Shen Qing lowered her head half-way, muttering to herself, because every time she spotted the figure of the Sixth Prince, she immediately dodged it with agility... showing a light smile, "The palace is so big, it's not surprising that he can't see him."
Fu Yanche was silent for a while, then took a few steps forward, looked at her deeply, and asked in a low voice: "Is the imperial city too big, or are you deliberately avoiding it?"
Shen Qing's heart trembled, and he took a step back and said with a smile: "The Sixth Prince is joking, you are not a scourge, why should I deliberately avoid you?"
"Oh?" Fu Yanche frowned slightly, grabbed her arm and pulled her back, looking at each other and asked: "Aren't you just avoiding this prince now? Since he is not a savage beast, why are you so scared?"
"Now, that's because you, Sixth Prince, are standing too close..." Shen Qing was depressed. He stretched out his hand to pull back his arm, but found that he was very close. Looking at his gentle and elegant appearance, the strength in his hand was unexpectedly weak.
So big, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said angrily: "If the Sixth Prince wants to talk to me, send someone to pass the message, and I will come over naturally. You are a noble prince, is it possible that you should come to see me in person?
?”
"So what about the prince? Can't I come to you in person?" Fu Yanche chuckled softly and let go of his hand indifferently.
Shen Qing was trying to pull back her hand. As soon as he let go, she immediately took two steps back and rubbed her aching hand in a daze. She was just talking casually. Fu Yanche really came to see her in person...?
After being stunned for a while, Shen Qing tried hard to stop herself from thinking wrongly. Xue Yixuan's words actually had little basis. She could point out her interactions with Fu Yanche with just her fingers. How could he care about her? She giggled twice and said, "Thank you, Sixth Prince, for watching."
It's Qingluo's fault that she treats me like a friend, treats me as a friend, and comes to chat with me in person. On another day, I should have gone to talk to the Sixth Prince." Although, there is not much possibility...
Fu Yanche said with slight disdain: "This prince has never been friends with that woman."
Shen Qing frowned and said stubbornly: "Then Qingluo should be the first one."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became a bit colder than before. Fu Yanche was quiet for a while, turned his eyes away and spoke again: "Did Xue Yixuan tell you something before?"
"No." Shen Qing felt that her answer was very honest. She had forgotten those words long ago. It was better to have one less thing than one more thing. There was nothing.
"No?"
"No, the princess just told me that the celebration is about some things."
She was very good at brushing it off, "Didn't she tell you that this prince cares about you?"
Shen Qing froze on the spot, staring blankly at Fu Yanche, who was elegant and handsome in the moonlight. Is this guy...breaking the window paper?
Fu Yanche smiled slyly and said, "It seems she said it, so you don't want to know whether what she said is true or false?"
