Farming and reading family

Gao E caused such a commotion at the gate of Dali Temple yesterday that I guess there will be a lot of memorials impeaching Lord Hu today. If this matter is not handled properly, Lord Hu will have to move.

"Ah." Gao E said helplessly, "The Hu family said they would come to apologize today. I don't know what will happen. After all, our words don't count."

When the eldest princess heard Gao E say this, she wanted to roll her eyes at her.

Is she still a nobody?

Lord Hu climbed to the position of Chief Justice of the Dali Temple. He had both the ability and the background, but he was blocked by her at the door of the Dali Temple and ridiculed.

The only person who could do such a thing is probably Gao E.

She seemed quite cautious when she was in Batou Village before, but she seemed like a different person after coming to Beijing.

"It's enough for you to know that you have little influence." The eldest princess said sarcastically.

Not long after the princess arrived, Mrs. Hu came with Miss Hu, followed by twenty tall and strong bodyguards.

But he became obedient after knocking on the door.

"Your Majesty greets the eldest princess and Concubine Tao." Madam Hu and her daughter bowed.

She came here today to apologize, but at the same time she also wanted to express that their Hu family was trustworthy and was not afraid of her, Luo Qing'er.

Even if she is Bin Wang's adopted sister, so what? This kind of relationship depends on Bin Wang's attitude.

I'm scared now.

The concubine of Prince Qing is fine, but why is the eldest princess here too?

"No need to be polite." The eldest princess said lazily, "Your Hu family is quite sincere, bringing so many people with you."

Mrs. Hu's expression was so awkward that anyone with a discerning eye could tell why she brought so many people with her: "I dare not neglect you."

"Come on, you're really getting ahead of yourself." The eldest princess said angrily, "It was your Hu family who was wrong in the first place. You thought Qing'er was easy to bully. Now you've apologized and it's over. If you have any more thoughts, Master Hu will be in turmoil."

"Yes, yes, yes." Mrs. Hu nodded hurriedly. "Miss Luo is generous and doesn't bother with my daughter."

After some polite exchanges, Mrs. Hu asked her daughter to apologize solemnly to Luo Qing'er and left a humble gift, and the matter was settled.

As for Ms. Hu's dissatisfaction, she could only hold it in.

After Madam Hu left, the eldest princess and Concubine Tao also left one after another, and the door in Nanhuai Lane was lightly closed and the place became completely quiet.

Luo Qing'er looked at the silver sent by the Hu family and was very happy: "This way, I will have money to start my business."

"He really only remembers eating and not being beaten." Gao E sneered.

"I'll take Sister Gao to see my shop." Luo Qing'er didn't talk about this.

The shop was not far away, and the two of them walked there.

It was similar to what Luo Qing'er said. The shop was very big, with spacious spaces on both sides. It had three floors and a large backyard.

Luo Qing'er took Gao E up to the third floor: "Big sister, look, that's the Star-Picking Tower in the imperial palace."

Gao E saw a nine-story building, which was also the tallest building in the capital.

Luo Qing'er looked at Sister Gao calmly and said, "Aren't you shocked? I was so shocked when I first saw it that I couldn't speak."

Gao E chuckled. How could someone who had experienced flying through the clouds care about a nine-story building? She could only say that the shape was quite exquisite.

Luo Qing'er was a little confused, but didn't ask any further.

Gao E looked at the nine-story building. It turned out that she had seen enough to be sure of what she really liked.

The prosperity of the past did not allow her to find inner peace, but the tranquility of the other world made her feel a sense of belonging.

There are also disputes.

There is also intrigue and deception.

Looking back, they are stories one by one, not a mess of accidents.

"This place is pretty good. When do you plan to start?" Gao E turned around and asked.

"We can start now." Luo Qing'er said directly.

"Let me be frank with you. The capital is the most prosperous place in the world. The franchise fee is one thousand taels a year, and other things are calculated separately. I don't ask you how many shops you open in the capital, but you can't ruin the reputation of Huanxizhu." Gao E said with a serious face.

"Don't worry, big sister. You won't make any money if you don't follow my instructions." Luo Qing'er said with a smile.

Gao E then smiled and said, "Then after we sign the paperwork, you can start looking for craftsmen to do the renovations."

"Okay." Luo Qing'er nodded.

The two discussed until late at night. The next day, Luo Qing'er went to make preparations, and Gao E took a box of pearls to find Fan Shiping.

When Fan Shiping saw Gao E, he thought he had seen it wrong and was stunned for a moment before walking over.

He had very few business dealings with Gao E, but each time was a major turning point for Fan Shiping, so he cared about Gao E very much.

"Why didn't you tell me that Boss Gao was coming to Beijing?" Fan Shiping said as he moved aside to invite Gao E upstairs.

Gao E glanced at Haochenzhai and said, "I didn't know Boss Fan's business was so big before."

"Thanks to Boss Gao," Fan Shiping said with a smile, "the business is now stable."

The two of them went upstairs while talking, and Fan Shiping made tea for Gao E.

"This Qinzhou Yu Lu is a new tea variety of the past two years. The price is right and many people in Beijing drink it." Fan Shiping introduced it to Gao E.

Gao E thought of Xiangzhou, where there was also tea, but only the locals dried and brewed it, and it was unheard of outsiders: "Then I am also benefiting from Boss Fan's influence."

"If you like it, you can take some back." Fan Shiping said with a smile, "Boss Gao came to Beijing in person, is there any big business?"

Gao E put a box of pearls on the table and said, "I don't know the market price either."

Fan Shiping widened his eyes, thinking that Gao E was too modest when she said she didn't know the market price. Pearls were in short supply right now, and he could find out the price by just asking.

"Boss Gao wants to sell it directly to me?" Fan Shiping asked tentatively.

"If the price is right, we will naturally sell it to Boss Fan." Gao E didn't want to ask any more questions.

Fan Shiping sighed, "Pearls are in short supply these days. Unfortunately, if these pearls were a size larger, the price would definitely double. Right now, I can only give Boss Gao three thousand taels for this box."

Gao E agreed when she heard that. She didn't catch many pearl shells this time, she came mainly to take a look, and she actually sold them for three thousand taels.

If those pearls are cultivated further, those clam ponds will become a gold mine.

"Okay." Gao E nodded.

Fan Shiping took the box and said, "Nowadays, the rich and powerful especially love pearls. They adorn their makeup, clothes, and shoes with pearls. Pearls of different colors, large sizes, and beautiful shapes are especially expensive, and they are sold individually."

"If Boss Gao gets goods like that, can you please contact me first?" Fan Shiping said with a smile.

"Boss Fan is very honest, so I will naturally give priority to him." Gao E nodded.

The two had a pleasant chat, and when Gao E left, Fan Shiping prepared half a pound of tea for her.

In the next few days, Luo Qing'er was busy pretending to be happy.

Gao E felt that she brought a lot of things, but they were a little too few for Luo Qing'er's store, so she sent a flying pigeon back to ask Chen Jie to send another batch.

After half a month of hard work, Huanxizu finally opened.

The day before the opening, Gao E hired hangers-on to distribute flyers everywhere to promote the restaurant, at least to let people know that there was such a restaurant.

On the opening day, the aroma of Huanxi’s food could be smelled all over the streets, and the restaurant was half price, so it quickly filled up.
