The White-haired Queen

The day Gu Changfeng arrived in the capital was the day Liuwen Pavilion moved to its new location and opened for business.

Wen Lanyue and Hong He left the palace early in the morning. No matter what, they had to go to Liuwen Pavilion and the products they designed today.

As soon as I walked out of the palace gate, I felt that the streets were full of people coming and going, and the vendors on both sides were shouting non-stop.

There are people selling handmade shoes, with thick thousand-layer soles; there are people selling embroidery, with vivid embroidery; there are people selling perfume, with a fragrant smell when the embroidered handkerchief is shaken; there are people selling accessories, with the goods in a box, walking around and hawking their wares; there are people selling candied haws, holding up a wooden stick with straw tied on top...

After passing through the street in front of the palace gate, you enter a street lined with small stalls on both sides. After crossing the street with the small stalls, you will reach shops with storefronts on both sides. These storefronts are basically where rich people gather to buy things. It is the most prosperous street in the entire capital.

The road in front of the store is very spacious and can accommodate four or five carriages passing side by side. The exterior decoration of each store is very distinctive and eye-catching.

Before, the teahouse that Wen Lanyue went to was on the west side of this street, and there was a big teapot at the door of the teahouse. Next to the teahouse was a clothing and embroidery shop, with a plaque reading "Li Ji Clothing Shop" and a picture of an embroidery needle with thread on the right side of the plaque... A few hundred meters from west to east, and you will reach Liu Wen Pavilion.

Most of the shops on this street are two-story. Liuwen Pavilion has a three-story building because it has an attic. It is the tallest and most iconic building on this commercial street.

Liuwen Pavilion is going to be converted into a commercial bank, and they are still busy cleaning and tidying up. It will be open for business after it is finished. About 200 meters ahead from here is the relocated Liuwen Pavilion. Liuwen Pavilion is a century-old jewelry store, so the name remains unchanged.

Go east from the current Liuwen Pavilion, then turn at the "Beijing Grand Restaurant" and keep going straight to reach the city gate.

As soon as Gu Changfeng entered the city gate, Wen Nuanyue was waiting for him at the Beijing Restaurant. It was a rare occasion for him to come out, so why not greet him?

When Gu Changfeng, who was riding on a horse, saw Wen Lanyue in the crowd, he jumped off the horse, greeted the assistant beside him, and then flashed into the crowd.

Gu Changfeng asked: "Yue'er, did you miss me? You are here to greet me early."

Wen Lanyue rolled her eyes and said, "You're overthinking it. I was just passing by."

Gu Changfeng gently scratched Wen Lanyue's nose with his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Please treat me to breakfast."

Wen Lanyue refused: "No."

Gu Changfeng pouted and said, "Yue'er, are you so stingy?"

Wen Lanyue said dissatisfiedly: "How could that be? Go back to the palace to have breakfast, take a shower, and then come out. I will wait for you in the new store of Liuwen Pavilion."

Gu Changfeng nodded and said, "That's fine." Then he asked, "Is Liuwen Pavilion opening a new store?"

Wen Lanyue said: "It's not opening a new store, it's just relocating."

Gu Changfeng slapped his forehead and said, "By the way, I have good news for you. There is some news about Doctor Qi's cousin Qi Tianle."

Wen Lanyue asked hurriedly: "You got the news so soon? Did you bring him home?"

Gu Changfeng said embarrassedly: "I did have the news, but I went there a step too late and got nothing."

Wen Lanyue smiled and said, "It's okay. It's been more than ten years. There's no need to rush."

Gu Changfeng said: "He was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he hid even more secretly."

Wen Lanyue changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. You should hurry back to the palace. I will treat you to a meal at the Beijing Grand Restaurant at noon."

Gu Changfeng raised his eyebrow and said, "Is this a welcome party specially held for me? Just the two of us?"

Wen Lanyue smiled and said, "You look so pretty. Just tell me whether you want to eat it or not."

Gu Changfeng said: "How can I not eat when my wife invites me? Even if I have to climb mountains of swords and walk through seas of fire, I have to go, not to mention enjoying delicious food."

Wen Lanyue said a little embarrassedly: "Stop talking nonsense." Then she emphasized again, "Remember, I will wait for you at Liuwen Pavilion first, and then treat you to lunch at Jingcheng Hotel at noon."

Gu Changfeng scratched Wen Lanyue's nose again and said, "Okay, I'll go first."

Wen Lanyue looked at Gu Changfeng's receding back, touched her nose with her hand, and thought to herself: "I went out for a while and learned the action of scratching my nose."

Afterwards, Wen Lanyue and Hong He hurried to Liuwen Pavilion again.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Wen Lanyue looked inside the store. It felt really good. There were a lot of people there. It looked like the store would sell well today.

As soon as she entered Liuwen Pavilion, Lin Yuanzhi came over to say hello and whispered, "Miss Wen, Grand Concubine Zhang and Grand Concubine Pang are here. They are each choosing jewelry in a private room."

Wen Lanyue nodded and said, "Okay, don't let them find out about our relationship."

Lin Yuanzhi said, "I understand. I'll go over to greet them when I see you. Please do as you please."

Wen Lanyue waved her hands and said, "Go, go, let them buy more." After that, she hummed a little tune, feeling happy in her heart, "These two people donated a lot this time. It would be better if they could bleed more this time."

In the 21st century, live streaming became popular. At that time, there was a popular saying that "everything can be broadcast". As long as there are people to buy it, anything can be sold, so it will definitely sell well.

At present, Lin Yuanzhi and his assistant Qiao Si Niang are both in the private room. There are too many people in the store and the waiters are too busy to handle it.

Wen Lanyue and Hong He also participated in the jewelry sales.

There was a beautiful young lady holding two hairpins and gesturing in front of a bronze mirror. The maid beside her said lightly, "You look good in anything you wear."

Wen Lanyue looked at the two hairpins in her hands, one was a delicate and pretty type - elegant and refined; the other was a graceful and elegant type - noble and beautiful.

Wen Lanyue saw this and recommended: "Miss, you are naturally beautiful, and you have an oval face. Wearing this jade-like hairpin will make you even more elegant and refined. When you walk, you will be graceful and charming; when you smile, you will be charming and attractive; when you look back, you will give people a kind of beauty that will make people feel that the stars have lost their color."

The young lady who was praised lowered her head shyly, and then her maid handed her a silver ingot.

Hong He was stunned watching from the side. Was the deal done so quickly? It seemed that this young lady was a wealthy and generous person. However, the Queen Mother's eloquence was too great. It felt like she was a different person.

Honghe patted her head. She and Bilian were guarding the Queen Mother every day. How could she have changed? Yes, that's right. It felt like the Queen Mother was reciting a book.

Wen Lanyue quickly picked up a pair of earrings and said, "Young lady, you have fair skin and big earlobes. You are a blessed person. You will look great with these emerald earrings."

After saying that, Wen Lanyue picked up the earring and gestured at the lady's ear.

The young lady said nothing, but her eyes lit up.
