Spring in the East Palace

Fennel shook her head: "Miss, you are so kind to me, I can't abandon you."

"Don't talk nonsense, remember my words. Otherwise, even if you stay, I will drive you away." Shen Muyin was very serious.

She stared at Hui Xiang without blinking: "You must keep my words in mind. If anything happens to me, you can go find the Third Young Master in the mansion. Got it?"

Fennel bit her lip, wanting to refuse, but looking at Shen Muyin's eyes, she could only nod passively in the end.

Seeing that Huixiang agreed, Shen Muyin finally felt relieved.

"Miss, nothing will happen to you, right?" After a long time, Hui Xianggui asked Shen Muyin seriously.

Shen Muyin looked at Fennel quietly: "Fennel, I can't guarantee it. But I have left a way out, so don't let me worry. If I really have something to do, I can be focused and not be threatened. Do you understand?"

Fennel's voice was also a little choked: "I know."

Her eyes were red, but she forced herself not to let the tears fall.

Shen Muyin smiled but said nothing. He continued shopping with Fennel in the market.

Shen Muyin felt that this was probably the happiest time for him. He had no scruples and didn't even need to consider the price.

Even if she was so unscrupulous, she still couldn't spend all her money.

She didn't stop until Shen Muyin was tired. Huixiang's hands were already full of things, and Shen Muyin asked for some of the other things to be delivered to the store.

Qiao Sheng and Butler Wang will naturally put these things away in the shop.

Near the shop, Shen Muyin bought a new courtyard.

This alley is extremely quiet once you enter it, but just outside the alley is the most prosperous Kyoto.

This courtyard originally belonged to an official in the court, but he had retired and returned to his hometown many years ago. The courtyard has been vacant for many years and is of no use.

Under such circumstances, Shen Muyin bought the house through Qiao Sheng and registered it in Qiao Sheng's name.

The courtyard has been inhabited all year round, so it will take time to renovate it. Shen Muyin is not in a hurry to live in it, and when it comes to the house, Shen Muyin used the two words "Xu Mansion".

"Miss, these servants will naturally take care of it." Butler Wang said respectfully.

Shen Muyin looked at Butler Wang with a smile: "Thank you for your help. I will be at ease when Butler Wang does the job."

Don't employ someone if you don't trust him, and don't doubt someone if you employ him. This is Shen Muyin's principle of doing things, so she never doubts the people who stay around her, so that these people can be more convinced of her.

"Oh, right." Shen Muyin looked at Butler Wang, "People will come to the store to order clothes one after another. You should follow my request. Don't order in bulk, just order by custom. Do whatever the other party asks. Leave the front hall of the store open and turn it into a reception area. If there is anything that Nanny Jinxiu can't handle, tell me on a certain day."

"I've made note of it." Butler Wang never had any doubts about Shen Muyin's actions.

Then he looked at Shen Muyin and said, "Miss, the Empress in the palace came to inquire about the order a few days ago. If there are more orders in the future, I'm afraid the construction period will be very long."

Shen Muyin looked at Butler Wang, and there was a hint of hesitation in Butler Wang's expression.

"If the construction period is too long, the customers will naturally become impatient. What's more, these people are all concubines in the palace, as well as the daughters of rich families in Kyoto. If they cause trouble, it will be difficult to deal with them." Butler Wang spoke the truth.

It's not easy to make money from these people, but it's easy to serve them and make them feel like home.

These people happen to stick together, and if you offend one of them, all of them will be offended, so you have to be extra careful.

There are only a limited number of embroiderers in the embroidery room, and it is impossible to expand on a large scale. With more people, the work period will naturally become longer and longer.

In Butler Wang's opinion, this matter also needs to be resolved.

"Don't panic, I have already told Jinxiu to separate the tasks. The fabrics here are all the best snow satin, which will be provided to us by the supplier. You can do the basic embroidery on the snow satin in advance, so that when they come, it will not be cumbersome. As for those heavy-duty items, especially wedding dresses, all require three months in advance. Otherwise, we will not accept the order. It must be clearly written in black and white. If someone really makes trouble, we will be on the side of the law." Shen Muyin said slowly.

She has already taken into account all that Butler Wang was worried about.

"Although it is custom-made, these young ladies actually don't know anything and are mostly interested in comparison. So when we receive them, we have to guide them to the path we want, so that we don't get caught up in a rush. Of course, we can't let them talk nonsense out of thin air. Those things can't be made." Shen Muyin looked at Butler Wang with a smile.

Butler Wang suddenly realized: "Young Miss is really amazing. I never thought of this."

Shen Muyin smiled and said nothing.

Steward Wang quickly continued to report: "By the way, Miss, you asked me to keep an eye on the salt dealers before, and I have asked someone to keep an eye on them."

As he spoke, Steward Wang's eyes darkened. "Recently, it seems that all these people have received a unified notice that no one will sell salt. But in Kyoto, this matter was done quietly. Each store should still have inventory, but this inventory will be cleared out in a month at most. If the salt dealers do not ship the goods at that time, the price of salt in Kyoto will skyrocket, and the market will definitely be in chaos."

Butler Wang also admired Shen Muyin very much, as he could always foresee many things that they could not think of.

For example, regarding the stockpiling of salt, Shen Muyin had already asked them to do it as required. At least in the next two or three years, they will not be short of salt.

Salt is not expensive, but if people do not have salt, they will not be able to survive for long.

"In this case, someone is probably secretly raising the price of salt to make huge profits." Butler Wang quickly figured it out.

Shen Muyin didn't say anything and was very quiet.

As a businessman, this is the most I know.

But she knew very well that it was not just a simple matter of driving up the salt price. She was afraid that the driving up of the salt price would cause chaos in people's lives.

If the people are not at peace, the country will not be at peace. The people in the palace must come out to solve the problem of salt prices, but without salt, this problem cannot be solved.

At that time, it will only arouse the dissatisfaction of the people, and the matter will become more and more serious, and eventually it will be completely out of control.

Water can carry a boat but can also capsize it. It is easy to imagine who will benefit from the fisherman's decision at that time.

"You deploy manpower. During this period, make sure you use up all the salt you can deploy first. When the day comes, before the matter is resolved, you sell salt to the people at the normal market price." Shen Muyin explained carefully, "In the name of the Eastern Palace, do you hear me?"
