Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Zhuque Street, the most prosperous street in Dongxiang, extends to the east and west. The wide road goes all the way to the quieter suburbs outside the city. There are pedestrians on the main street: some are carrying loads on their shoulders, some are driving to deliver goods, some are driving donkeys to pull carts, and some are stopping to enjoy the scenery. Starting from the luxurious two- to three-story wooden buildings in the center of the street, the houses on both sides of the road are lined up one after another, including teahouses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, etc.

Every day is bustling with people coming and going, fully demonstrating the economic prosperity of this great country in the East.

As soon as Mu Yejun of the Duke of Yunsheng got on the carriage, he told the driver to go to Zhaixing Tower. Now the carriage was driving slowly on Zhuque Street. The servant Du Ruo knelt in the carriage, ready to serve his master at any time.

Mu Yejun changed his nonchalant smile. At this moment, his expression was gloomy and his black eyes were sharp. He was like a wolf lurking in the bushes, alert, sharp, and a little cruel.

Today was a great harvest. First of all, Miss Shen is not simple. Secondly, I accidentally discovered that she has a close relationship with Prince Zhong’s Mansion. She and Zhu Yanxiao should be planning something. For a girl in the boudoir to make the prince of the prince’s mansion take time out to make a special appointment, it must be a very important matter. It seems that Zhu Yanxiao likes her very much. Humph, Prince Zhong’s Mansion, this young master doesn’t like it.

The reason why he went to the appointment today was entirely because his father was an official in the court and needed to maintain a relationship with the Marquis's Mansion. It would be best if he could win them over. But he was unwilling to marry, regardless of whether his wife was Shen Shenshen or not. Once he married, what would happen to his confidantes? He couldn't bring all of them into the mansion as concubines.

Most of the Dongxiang families knew that he was a playboy and were reluctant to marry their daughters to him, so he had never been engaged, and they were happy to see it happen. For some reason, the Marquis suddenly asked my father a few days ago if he had an engagement. Even if the rumors about the second Miss Shen were unbearable, as long as her personal morality was intact, my father would be happy, and the other party was the Marquis who had always wanted to win over.

Her personal morality is intact? Haha, a woman who wants to keep a mistress.

When Mu Yejun was just thinking about this and complaining in his heart, the carriage slowly stopped and Du Ruo reminded him softly: "Sir, we have arrived at Zhaixing Tower."

The servant at the door had already seen the carriage of the Duke of Yunsheng's mansion. Before the carriage had even stopped, Shopkeeper Li was already waiting at the door of Zhaixing Tower. When he saw the person getting off the carriage, he immediately stepped forward and said, "I respectfully welcome the Second Young Master."

The Star Picking Tower is located on Baicang Avenue. It is a three-story building with green tiles and red eaves. The colors of green and red are very gorgeous. A plaque painted with gold lacquer is hung at the entrance of the vermilion archway. The three characters "Star Picking Tower" on the plaque are powerful and vigorous. It is the calligraphy of Lord Mu Yun of the Yunsheng Duke's Mansion. On the surface, the Star Picking Tower is managed by his elder brother Mu Wenjing, but in fact, the second son of Mu is the real operator of the Star Picking Tower. His elder brother Mu Wenjing has never been interested in the general affairs of the mansion. He is determined to fight in the court. He once joked with Mu Yejun in private: "Huai Bi, you don't understand the endless pleasure of fighting with others." Therefore, the general affairs of the entire Duke's Mansion are basically handed over to his younger brother. Lord Mu Yun has also acquiesced to this.

It was he who was responsible for the series of small actions against Heyinlou that gave Zhu Yanxiao a headache.

Mu Yejun nodded slightly to Shopkeeper Li with a cold face, stepped into the building quickly, and quickly went up to the exclusive private room on the third floor. After sitting down, he said to Shopkeeper Li: "Bring the recent account books." When Shopkeeper Li responded and went to find the account books, he immediately instructed Du Ruo: "Find a reliable person to go to Heyinlou to see if Master Zhu and Second Miss Shen went to Heyinlou today, and report back immediately after finding out."

"Yes, sir." Du Ruo clasped his fists and went downstairs to make arrangements.

Soon, Shopkeeper Li held up a few account books and respectfully placed them in front of his master: "Second Master, these are the most recent account books."

Mu Yejun took it and slowly flipped through it, not in a hurry. He read every page very carefully. The maids and servants in the room, including Shopkeeper Li, dared not say a word. Their young master had a capricious temper and they dared not offend him. The room was quiet, with the occasional sound of flipping papers. Shopkeeper Li stood aside with his head bowed. Seeing that his master neither asked questions nor had any emotions, cold sweat gradually broke out. He didn't understand why the second young master had so much free time today to sit in the shop and carefully read the account book.

After about an incense stick of time, Manager Li felt that ten days had passed. Du Ruo came in to relieve the cold air in the room and saluted with a fist: "Sir, the person who went to investigate is back."

"Speak." Mu Yejun didn't even raise his head.

"They didn't go to Heyinlou. But..."

Mu Yejun raised his head with an unfriendly look.

Du Ruo was startled and quickly answered: "Our people saw the carriages of the Marquis' Mansion and the Prince's Mansion at the entrance of Zuiyue Tower. He guessed that it should be the carriages of Prince Zhu and Second Miss Shen."

Mu Yejun put down the account book in his hand and pondered. They were still together. Was it as simple as going to Zuiyue Tower just to have lunch together? His intuition told him that these three people, no, it should be Zhu Yanxiao and Shen Shenshen, were planning something. And his sixth sense told him that this plan was related to the Yunsheng Mansion.

It seems that we need to find a way to find out what they are planning.

"Du Ruo, let's go." Mu Yejun stood up, and Shopkeeper Li quickly followed behind his master, thinking in his heart: "It turns out that the Second Young Master is waiting for news. It seems that he is not dissatisfied with me." Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Yejun came out of the Zhaixing Tower. Feeling a little irritated, he turned around and went to the courtyard of Yue Ranran, the most beautiful courtesan among his confidantes.

Zuiyuelou

After the three of them arrived, they were led by the waiter to the private room that had been arranged long ago. The furnishings in the private room were simple and elegant, and it was obvious that the person who arranged it had great taste.

After the maid brought tea and snacks, Shen Shenshen began to talk to the sponsor: "Ziyuan, have you found that the furnishings of Ting'an Tea Shop are very special?"

"Yes. It is indeed different from other tea houses in Dongxiang Country. It is cleaner, tidier, brighter and more fragrant."

"Also," Shen Shenshen said, "each type of tea in the shop is categorized, clearly marked with prices, and there is a tea tasting area, etc. All of these are the killer features of this tea shop. Although their tea of ​​the same quality is several cents more expensive than other shops, in this environment, it feels that this price should be sold at."

Zhu Yanxiao noticed that every time he said this, Shen Shenshen's eyes sparkled, and the expression that attracted him appeared again. He collected his thoughts and asked, "Shen Shen means that Heyinlou is also run in this way?"

"No, no, no, Ziyuan. The price of tea is too cheap. Heyinlou can't afford jewelry that costs at least six taels of silver. We want to do something more extreme. I asked you to go to Ting'an Tea Shop today so that you can see firsthand how the environment and the furnishings in the store can affect the amount of silver sold for."

"What is Shen Shen going to do?" The person who asked the question was Zhu Zhixi.

"Green Trace."

The sound of the personal maid Lu Hen knocking on the wooden door of the private room came from outside.

"Enter."

Her maid was seen holding a small wooden box in her arms. She put it on the table and then left the room, closing the door.

Shen Shen opened the wooden box, took out a dozen pages of paper from the box and shook them in his hands: "Ziyuan, Zhixi, please have a look at this, the business plan of Heyinlou."
