"No, nothing." Yunqi smiled.

Seeing this, Yuntian whispered, "It's the Crown Prince's Consort."

"What happened to her?" He Jingheng thought of Shang Ruoyi's back as she left just now, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"The Crown Prince's Consort just gave a scholar fifty taels of silver." Yun Tian rushed to say, "She even smiled at him. The scholar was obviously bewitched."

Yunqi wanted to slap him down from the second floor.

"Your Highness, that's not the case." Yunqi said with a smile, "The Crown Prince's Consort asked him to help write something, and the fifty taels were paid as silver, and the scholar was from Tianlu Academy."

"Tianlu Academy?" He Jingheng frowned: "Does she know that the scholar is from Tianlu Academy?"

"It seems to be the case." Yunqi said softly.

He Jingheng smiled. Did this woman stumble upon it by accident or did she really know something?

"Jing Heng." Xu Zimo came over in a hurry: "There's news over there, Your Majesty, we found it."

Shang Ruoyi and Shaoyao walked to the street next to Tianxiangju.

"Miss, look, the shop over there seems to be for sale." Shaoyao pointed to a shop and said softly.

The plaque on the shop had not been taken down yet, and it read "Jingyi Tea House".

Tea?

Just what she needed.

Shang Ruoyi walked forward and stopped a servant who was moving things out: "Is this teahouse for sale?"

The servant looked her over and asked, "Do you want to buy it?"

Shaoyao stepped forward and asked, "Is your manager here?"

At this time, a little old man came out from inside: "Yes, yes, I am the owner of this shop, Yu Da."

"Manager Yu, why don't you run this shop?" Shang Ruoyi looked at the street. This was obviously the most prosperous area. It was unlikely that the business was not good.

"My son has become successful and found a job in the capital. Now he wants to take us to the capital. I'm afraid we will never come back. I thought there is no use for this shop, so I just sold it." He looked at Shang Ruoyi: "Miss, do you want to buy it?"

"If the price is right, I would really like to buy it. I wonder how much silver you want for this shop?"

"You've really asked the right person about my shop." General Yu led the two of them into the house. Shang Ruoyi looked at the layout of the teahouse and liked it very much.

Like Tianxiangju, it has three floors in total, with private rooms on the second and third floors. As you enter the shop, you can smell the refreshing aroma of tea.

"How much silver does this shop cost?"

Yu Da rubbed his hands and smiled: "This shop, in this county town, is worth about 1,500 taels."

One thousand five hundred taels, Shang Ruoyi calculated secretly in her heart. Actually, this price was reasonable, but who wouldn't want to buy it cheaper?

"Manager Yu, I think you have already decided on the date for your trip to the capital. If the price is right, I can pay you in cash today. Although 1,500 taels is not higher than the market price, I am afraid that there are not many people who can give you some cash directly." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Why don't you give me a discount and give me the remaining tea in the shop?"

"This..." Yu Da frowned. Although there was not much tea in the shop, there were still about 100 taels. If he gave her a discount, the loss would be too much. He thought for a while and asked, "How much do you want to pay?"

Shang Ruoyi extended her index finger: "One thousand taels."

One thousand taels?

Yu Da shook his head like a rattle: "For this shop, if it's less than 1,200 taels, there's no need to negotiate."

It only took one round to reveal his bottom price.

"One thousand two hundred taels, plus the tea in the shop, how about that?"

"Can you give me money now?"

"Of course." Shang Ruoyi took out a silver note from her bosom and handed it to him.

Yu Da confirmed that it was correct and wrote the document immediately.

"Miss, my shop is very popular. Tianshun tea has always been expensive, especially the precious tea, which is even more rare. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. However, the vendors who supply my shop are from Northern Qi. Their tea is not only cheap but also of high quality. If I had not stopped running the business, I would definitely not have told you about this opportunity."

As the two were talking, a bearded man walked in.

"Yu Da, what's wrong with you..." He looked at the half-moved shop in shock: "Are you closing down?"

"I am going to the capital to enjoy my life. I have sold this shop to this girl."

The man cast his eyes on Shang Ruoyi's face and said dejectedly, "I even brought a truckload of tea here to sell to you."

Shang Ruoyi heard this and stepped forward and said, "I will take over the tea shop now. I also want to do this kind of business. You can sell your tea to me."

"Really?" The man looked at Shang Ruoyi in surprise.

"How much silver do you want for this cart of tea?"

"This cartload of tea is all top quality tea, and it costs two thousand taels of silver."

Wen Xi opened a few boxes and found that they were indeed top-quality items as he said. As soon as he opened the box a crack, the refreshing fragrance penetrated into his nostrils.

"I wonder how long you will stay here?" Shang Ruoyi pointed around and said, "You can see that I don't have the space to store so much tea."

"About three days."

Three days.

Shang Ruoyi thought about it and realized that it would take three days to clean up the place. Suddenly, she thought of someone who might be able to help her.

Qian Niang was slightly shocked when she saw her bringing a cart full of tea.

You know, usually tea is bought in two cans at the post station. Where has she ever seen tea being bought by cartloads?

But thinking about what Shang Ruoyi said the drink she was going to make was called milk tea, maybe it was related to tea.

"Sister, you want to leave so much tea with me?" Qian Niang said with a smile, "Tea is so precious, are you willing to leave it there?"

Shang Ruoyi picked up a box of tea and put it in her hand: "This is for you."

"Send? Send me?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "In the future, I will need my sister to take care of me in this county."

In the private room upstairs, Xu Zimo watched this scene and joked, "Jing Heng, your wife is really generous!"

He Jingheng picked up the teacup and took a sip: "As long as she is happy."

"Tsk!" Xu Zimo really wanted to slap himself in the face. He was asking for trouble.
