Since Xie Zhichan took over Pei Yi's more than 30 shops, she has been very busy for a while. She sorted out the problems of each shop, the room for improvement, and even the resources that can be connected between them.

For example, the cargo boxes of the escort agency's carriages are very suitable for posting some promotional posters. Although the goods of the Kyoto shops cannot be sold to other places, the people in the suburbs of Beijing always have to go to Beijing for business. If they are taking a short escort trip, it is very suitable to post some promotional posters of the Kyoto shops.

After she made her plan, she asked Yang Zhuoyan to write a manuscript for a shop that was suitable for promotion, took it to Liu Yanzhai to make it into a poster, and distributed it to the escort agencies to post.

She went to the shops in Kyoto again and made some adjustments to the decoration of the shops. The shop owners had received the news earlier and were very respectful to Xie Zhichan. They did not look down on her just because she was a woman.

Before he knew it, it was midsummer, the hottest time of the year, and Pei Yi's health had completely recovered.

There was basically no major event in the court, but there were two things worth mentioning.

First, the young general of the Zhenxi General's Mansion brought his sister back home. I heard that Mrs. Zhao, who had been bedridden for many days, was in much better health and could walk again. She was accompanied by her grandchildren to bask in the sun every day, and her spirits were getting better day by day.

One thing is that many ministers in the court are clamoring for the prince to get married as soon as possible. Naturally, many of them are eyeing the position of future father-in-law of the emperor and hope to send their daughters, whom they have carefully cultivated for more than ten years, into the palace of the future heir to the throne.

The emperor also thought that the prince should get married and start a family, which was the teaching of the ancestors. If the prince got married and had someone to look after him, he would not do bad things so easily.

The Empress followed Emperor Jingde's advice and held a summer lotus-viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden, inviting all the young ladies of marriageable age from the homes of officials of the fifth rank and above in Kyoto to attend.

However, the person who attracted the most attention from the Crown Prince and the King of Qin at this flower-viewing banquet was not Cao Shuyuan, the granddaughter of the Cao family who was known as the "rich and beautiful woman", but Zhao Qin, the daughter of the general's family who had ridden back to the capital and had a dark skin after being exposed to the wind and sun in the southwest for several years.

Unfortunately, Zhao Qin could not feel the enthusiasm of the two princes at all. She only felt that they were more irritating than the hot summer wind. Seeing that his sister was impatient, Zhao Zhige kept a gloomy face throughout and acted as his sister's personal bodyguard.

Even if the two princes wanted to pick a flower to give to Miss Zhao, they did not dare to do so in front of the stern-faced General Zhao Zhige.

The prince had no interest in Miss Zhao at first, but she was the Crown Princess chosen by Emperor Jingde. And when he saw that the King of Qin had his eyes on Miss Zhao, he had to compete with the King of Qin and threw Cao Shuyuan aside.

The Empress was so anxious that she decided to go all out and had her own son and niece married together. Emperor Jingde had no choice but to grant the daughter of the Cao family the title of Crown Princess.

Concubine De was very happy to see the opportunity of marriage with the General Zhenxi's Mansion was right in front of her, but she didn't know where this Cheng Yaojin named Pei Jingrou appeared. While walking by the lotus pond, she fell into the water. Coincidentally, she also grabbed the King of Qin and fell into the water with them. When the palace servants who could swim jumped into the water to save them, this Miss Pei actually took the King of Qin, who could not swim, to avoid all the palace servants and got ashore from the opposite bank.

Now that's great. Miss Pei from Prince Yan's Mansion saved Prince Qin out of righteousness, but lost her reputation.

Emperor Jingde had no choice but to marry Pei Jingrou to the Prince of Qin as his consort.

On the contrary, it was Zhao Qin. When the Queen took the initiative to ask the Emperor to take Miss Zhao as the Crown Prince's concubine, she flatly refused, saying that her father was old and that southern Yunnan bordered Nanzhao, a country that was good at witchcraft and was not to be underestimated. She was willing to swear to stay in southern Yunnan all her life to help her father and brother protect the southwestern territory of Dajin.

Emperor Jingde and the Empress could not refuse such sincere gesture, so they had to appoint Dou Yushan's two daughters as concubines of the Crown Prince. This was also a disguised compensation for the fact that Grand Tutor Dou was stripped of his official position and honors.

Xie Zhichan originally thought that the Zhenxi General's Mansion and the Prince of Yan's Mansion had nothing to do with each other. One guarded the north of Da Jin, and the other guarded the southwest of Da Jin. If it were not for the palace banquet at the end of the year, the people from the two mansions would not see each other throughout the year.

But I heard from Xiao Liu'er that Miss Zhao and Princess Anle don't look like a family at all. Miss Zhao, sitting on a tall horse, looks as majestic as a female general, while Princess Anle is just a chicken who can only get angry by taking advantage of the power of others.

After hearing this, Xie Zhichan couldn't help but imagine in his mind that a female general would be quite majestic.

Unexpectedly, not many days later, she met this girl who was as brave as any man, which confirmed what Xiao Liu'er said.

That day, she went to Qianyuan Pavilion's Rouge Shop again. While she was flipping through the sales brochure in the back hall, she heard a familiar voice in the front hall saying, "Since it is the property of the Prince's Consort of Yan Palace, it is the property of Yan Palace. I am the lady of Yan Palace and the future Princess of Qin. Why can't I even keep accounts when I buy things here?"

When Xie Zhichan came out from the back, he heard Madam Yu explaining, "Second Miss Pei, the rule of Qianyuan Pavilion is that we do not give credit to any customer. We do not encourage advance purchases without sufficient repayment ability."

Pei Jingrou was so angry that she asked, "Are you doubting my ability to pay back the money for a box of rouge?"

Just as Madam Yu was about to answer, Xie Zhichan stepped forward and said, "The maid next to you is not holding a box of rouge, but a complete set of Twelve Hairpin Ladies Gift Boxes, which contains twelve colors of rouge, a box of whitening cream, a box of eyebrow pencil, and a box of repairing cream. The price of this whole set is three hundred taels of silver.

Your monthly salary is six taels, and it will take four and a half years to save it all. Second sister, are you sure you don't want the monthly salary for the next four and a half years?

If possible, I will go back today and report to the prince and princess, and pay the monthly allowance of my second sister before her marriage to Qianyuan Pavilion in advance. As for the allowance after her marriage, I will go to the Qin Palace to ask for it then."

When Pei Jingrou heard Xie Zhichan say that she was going to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to collect the debt, she felt guilty, knowing that she could really do it. After all, her elder brother had brought Xie Zhichan to the palace to file a complaint. Both of them were people who could tear off the skin on their faces at any time. As she was the Princess of Qin, she couldn't be on the same level as the Crown Prince's Consort of the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

She took the gift box from her personal maid's arms in a huff and threw it on the counter: "Who wants it?"

When Pei Jingrou turned around and was about to leave, she suddenly heard the voice of Princess Anle saying, "It is said that Qianyuan Pavilion has good business. I came here to have a look when I had nothing to do. I didn't expect that such a big store would bully customers. Miss Pei is the sister-in-law of the Crown Prince's wife after all. If the Crown Prince's wife has such an attitude towards her own family, you can imagine how she will treat other customers."

Princess Anle lived peacefully in the Lu Mansion for a long time.

At the beginning, Lu Xiuzhu gave her the scar removal cream in the trial pack that he brought back from Xie Zhichan. She tried it for seven days with suspicion, but she didn't expect that the scars were really much lighter. She kept asking the maid to buy it for her, but the price was too expensive.

She came in person today to see if she could get a discount from the shopkeeper privately based on her status as a princess. However, she didn't expect that the owner Xie Zhichan was also there.

Xie Zhichan said to Zhao Wuyou, "I don't dare to bully customers because of my size, but there are a few types of people that are not welcome in my store, such as the princess and Miss Pei. If the princess doesn't want to buy anything, please leave. The name of my store is Qianyuan Pavilion, which means that the owner and the guests should get along well."

Princess Anle needed to buy scar removal cream. After hearing what Xie Zhichan said, she just sneered and said, "It seems that the Crown Prince's Consort wants to kneel on the gravel road in Shoukang Palace again."

Before Xie Zhichan could reply, a clear female voice said, "My elder brother and I have not been in the capital for several years. I didn't know that the eldest princess and second uncle taught you this way. Don't tell others that you are the daughter of the Zhenxi General's Mansion. My father's reputation is not for you to ruin like this."
