Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me

After settling Yunxiu, Shen Xiyue was not in a hurry to return home, but instead thought about going to check out the shop.

The shops that her uncle asked for from the Qi family at the beginning included a pharmacy, a cosmetics shop, and a spice shop. All three shops were located in an excellent location on Chang'an Street in the south of the city.

Aren’t these all ready-made?

The carriage stopped, Shen Xiyue lifted the curtain and observed carefully for a while.

On the busy street, every shop was crowded with customers, except for his three shops, which were deserted and no one even swept the snow in front of the doors.

Shen Xiyue got off the carriage and walked towards the first pharmacy.

"I beg you, please sell me some herbs! My mother is dying, and only your shop has this medicine." The man's voice was filled with anxious tears, followed by the sound of his forehead banging against the ground, over and over again.

"You poor bastard, don't be so unlucky. It's because you don't have money, not because I don't want to sell you!"

"I have silver! I have ten ounces of silver. Can you please be kind enough to sell me one?"

"Ten taels? Are you sending away a beggar? Get out!!"

Shen Xiyue paused and frowned. Then a man who looked like a scholar staggered out of the medicine shop. Behind him, the pot-bellied shopkeeper was holding a copper basin and splashing dirty water all over the floor, cursing:

"Get out of here! Don't delay our business!"

The scholar's washed white clothes were soaked with water. He stood on his body, shivering immediately when the cold wind blew. However, he didn't care about it at all. He still knelt down to the fat shopkeeper with a plop and said, "Please, sell me a dose of medicine!"

"roll roll roll!"

The fat shopkeeper threw down the copper basin, put his hands on his waist and said, "If you keep annoying me, I'll break your legs!"

Lvliu explained nervously, "Princess, Prime Minister Song gave me the contract a long time ago. I came to tell them that the shop has changed owners and they can find another way out after the Chinese New Year... I really didn't know they were so domineering here."

"I don't blame you. You have good intentions. As the year draws to a close, it is a good deed not to ruin other people's jobs. It is the owner of this shop who has bad intentions and wants to take advantage of the opportunity to extort money."

Shen Xiyue smiled coldly and raised her chin. Princess Huayang's dignity and bearing made people dare not look directly at her: "You are so bold!"

The fat shopkeeper then discovered that there was a woman standing next to him who was elegant and proud. Although he had seen noble ladies like the wife of Marquis Wenyuan before, the arrogance of his mind was subdued unconsciously at the mere glance of the woman in front of him.

The fat shopkeeper immediately bent over, his face becoming flattering: "Oh, my lord, I made you laugh! Please come in, our shop has the most complete range of medicinal materials in the whole capital, we have everything you want to buy!"

Shen Xiyue ignored him completely. Lvliu immediately stepped forward to block the fat shopkeeper's shifty eyes.

Shen Xiyue asked the scholar: "Do you have a prescription?"

The scholar's eyes were moist. He looked at Shen Xiyue in a daze, then hurriedly lowered his head and took out a prescription from his sleeve: "Yes..."

Shen Xiyue took the prescription and stepped into the pharmacy: "Come with me to avoid the cold."

"Thank you, thank you very much, young lady..." The scholar's face flushed, and it was clear that he was unwilling to accept charity. However, the fact that his mother was saved made his eyes bright and his eye sockets even moister, filled with gratitude.

Shen Xiyue handed the prescription to another clerk in the shop: "Go and get ten prescriptions."

The clerk in the store was an honest man. He took the prescription and went to get the medicine.

The arrogant fat shopkeeper just now was unwilling to do so and reminded:

"My dear, I am not trying to embarrass him. It is just that the medicine is expensive. My shop is the only one in the capital that has it. My dear, if you are a good person, you have to pay for him!"

"Money is easy to talk about." Shen Xiyue raised her eyebrows and looked at her, her beautiful peach blossom eyes full of curiosity: "Why is this medicine only available in your shop?"

"Ah, of course it's because our boss is powerful. Those medicinal herb merchants can only sell herbs to us." The fat shopkeeper was very proud, with an expression that said, "Come and ask me who my boss is."

But Shen Xiyue didn't ask.

The waiter over there had already quickly prepared ten prescriptions. The fat shopkeeper pointed two fingers at Shen Xiyue and said, "My dear, two thousand taels of silver."

When the scholar heard this, his eyes widened and his face turned red. He looked at the fat shopkeeper and argued:

"How can this medicine be worth this price? The doctor from another pharmacy said that this medicine was originally sold for only ten copper coins. It is your black-hearted pharmacy that has monopolized the medicinal materials and is raising the price to do this black-hearted business. Don't you fear losing your conscience?"

The fat shopkeeper looked down on him and said, "Conscience? How much is conscience worth? I have the final say in this shop. I can sell it for whatever I want!"

"You have the final say?" Shen Xiyue raised her eyebrows, her voice as soft as snow falling:

"This shop has long been sold from the Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion. The new owner saw that it was almost the end of the year and allowed you to stay here for a few more days, earn some money for the New Year, and find a way out after the New Year. How can you have the final say?"

The fat shopkeeper's eyes rolled around, and he looked Shen Xiyue up and down, frowning and asking in confusion: "You... who are you? How do you know all this!"

Shen Xiyue didn't say anything, but took the medicine from the counter and handed it to the scholar: "Take it to treat your mother's illness."

"Thank you very much for your help today." The scholar held the medicine with a grateful look on his face. His nose felt sore and his eyes turned red. He was determined to remember this kindness.

Shen Xiyue smiled gently: "This is my shop. How can I bear the Master's thanks if I don't take good care of the shop assistants?"

The scholar's eyes widened: "Is... is this your shop, young lady?"

He was stunned for a moment, but then he remembered what the girl had just said. She saw what happened in the shop but had no idea what was going on. She must have been deceived by the fat shopkeeper.

Then he looked at the fat shopkeeper angrily.

The fat shopkeeper was horrified. He knew the inside story of the shop. The shop was taken from the Marquis's Mansion by Song Xiang and given to Princess Huayang...

This girl said that this shop belongs to her, so doesn’t that mean she is Princess Huayang?

Is it my new employer? !

The fat shopkeeper's face was full of disbelief. He cautiously asked, "Are you...Princess Huayang?"

Shen Xiyue looked at him leisurely: "The shopkeeper has a keen eye."

"Princess Huayang?" The scholar repeated dully. He didn't expect to have such a chance to meet the princess today... He hurriedly bowed deeply to Shen Xiyue and said, "Princess, you have done me a great favor today. I will remember it in my heart. I will repay you for your kindness."

Shen Xiyue quickly turned aside to avoid his greeting and said sincerely, "Young Master, please go back quickly. Your mother is still waiting for the medicine."

"Yeah." The scholar held the medicinal herbs tightly in his hands. Before leaving, he subconsciously looked back at Shen Xiyue, but seemed to feel offended, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and trotted away.

Shen Xiyue kept looking at the direction he left, with the corners of her lips slightly raised. She never expected that she would have such an encounter today when she came to visit the shop on a whim.

If my guess is correct, this scholar is the future brilliant top scholar Wan Xiu Ze.

In her previous life, she had also heard about Wan Xiu Ze's deeds in the Marquis' Mansion.

It is said that after he passed the imperial examination, he took his mother to Beijing for the exam, but his mother fell ill and missed the exam. However, he had no complaints, put aside his studies and copied books for others to earn money for his mother's treatment.

Later, he met the courtesan of Tianxiang Tower, who paid for his mother's medicine, and finally cured his mother's illness. Wan Xiu also resumed his studies, ranked first in the joint examination, and was chosen as the number one scholar in the palace examination by the current emperor.

He was talented and was very grateful to the courtesan who helped him. People praised him for not forgetting his roots.

When the number one scholar was paraded through the streets on horseback, Shen Xiyue had seen him from afar and remembered his appearance. Later, she also learned that the person who gave him the money to buy medicine was Gu Zhilan.

But I didn't expect that in this life, the person who met him and helped him buy medicine would turn out to be myself.

Hey, what a coincidence.

She accepted Gu Zhilan's good business ideas, and she also accepted Gu Zhilan's good deeds today.
