The Eldest Daughter Returns with Power

The next morning, the snow finally stopped, and the sun shone brightly through the thin clouds. Su Yunruo, dressed in an elegant men's outfit, looked dashing and walked out of the house with Nangong Sheng.

The streets of the capital were bustling with activity, teeming with people, their noise and laughter mingling together. A dazzling array of shops displayed a dazzling array of goods. Su Yunruo looked around excitedly, filled with curiosity about this vibrant scene. She followed Nangong Sheng to a fabric shop called "Jinxiufang," where various exquisite fabrics were displayed, their colors vibrant and their quality excellent.

Nangong Sheng turned to Su Yunruo and said softly, "This fabric shop has some of the best quality in the capital. Take a look and see if you like anything." Su Yunruo stepped forward, her fingers gently brushing against a piece of light blue silk, her eyes filled with delight. Just then, the shop owner approached, beaming, "Gentlemen, you have excellent taste! This silk is newly arrived; it's perfect for making clothes." Nangong Sheng nodded and said, "Wrap this up for me." Su Yunruo quickly said, "Second Senior Brother, this is too much trouble." Nangong Sheng smiled, "It's alright, as long as you like it." The two left the fabric shop.

“Come on, I’ll take you to see the shops under our manor’s name,” Nangong Sheng said.

“Junior brother, look, that jewelry shop belongs to our manor. Look closely at the shops under our manor; they all have our manor's unique logo on their signs. The logo centers on a slender peacock feather, flanked by two small parrot feathers, creating an elegant curve. The eye-like spots on the peacock feather shimmer with a mysterious light, while the parrot feathers are delicate and soft, as if swaying gently in a breeze. These three feathers are carefully inlaid on a piece of black sandalwood, the grain of the sandalwood contrasting sharply with the color of the feathers, making it even more noble. Below the sandalwood, the shop's name is engraved. This shop is called ‘Jin Yu Fang.’ Come with me, let's take a look.” Nangong Sheng patted Su Yunruo on the shoulder.

"Good morning, gentlemen. What would you like to buy?" The waiter greeted them warmly as he approached them.

Su Yunruo observed carefully. This Jin Yu Fang (Gold and Jade Shop) was located in the most bustling area of ​​the capital. Its vermilion doors, inlaid with gold studs, were particularly eye-catching. Upon entering, one could see a dazzling array of jewelry; the brilliantly colored gemstones shone brightly under the lights, radiating a captivating brilliance. The shop's interior was decorated primarily with mahogany, intricately carved with patterns, giving it a rustic yet elegant feel. Beautiful calligraphy and paintings hung on the walls, adding a touch of cultural refinement. Each piece of jewelry was meticulously crafted by experienced artisans, showcasing their ingenuity in every detail.

"Waiter, where is your manager?" Nangong Sheng's voice was deep and magnetic as he handed the waiter an exquisite token. The waiter looked at it closely, his face instantly becoming obsequious. He immediately replied respectfully, "Master, what brings you here? Manager Li is receiving distinguished guests on the third floor. I'll go tell him right away." With that, the waiter turned to leave.

However, Nangong Sheng waved his hand, signaling him to stop, and then said calmly, "No need. My junior brother and I will go to the top floor. Manager Li can come find me when he's done with his work." After saying that, he led Su Yunruo upstairs.

"Alright!" the waiter replied hastily, then quickly ran to the counter and whispered a few words to the people inside. He then hurried after Nangong Sheng and his group, smiling solicitously as he asked, "Sir, would you like some food?"

"No need, just prepare a pot of good tea for us," Nangong Sheng replied without turning his head.

"Alright!" the waiter replied, then turned and left.

Soon, the two arrived at the top floor, where the decor was simple yet elegant, with a faint fragrance. They sat down by the window, gazing down at the bustling street scene below.

A moment later, the waiter brought in a pot of fine tea, carefully placed it on the table, and then respectfully withdrew.

As Su Yunruo sipped her tea and admired the scenery outside the window, a wave of emotion washed over her. She turned to Nangong Sheng and exclaimed, "Second Senior Brother, the prosperity of our manor is truly astonishing!"

Nangong Sheng smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said calmly, "This is also the result of everyone's joint efforts." He looked into the distance.

Su Yunruo nodded in agreement, then continued to immerse herself in the beautiful scenery outside the window.

Just then, Manager Li hurried over, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Master, I didn't know you were coming today. I'm so sorry for not welcoming you properly." Nangong Sheng waved his hand and said, "It's alright. I just brought my junior brother to take a look and to make some arrangements for you. From now on, you will be under my junior brother's management. You must unconditionally cooperate with any requests he makes, understand?"

Shopkeeper Li nodded repeatedly in agreement and assured Su Yunruo that he would fully support her. Then, he cautiously inquired about their future contact methods. Nangong Sheng glanced at Su Yunruo, gesturing for him to produce the token. Su Yunruo understood immediately and quickly took out the token given to him by his second senior brother from his pocket, handing it to Shopkeeper Li.

Manager Li took the token and examined it carefully. Then he said to Nangong Sheng, "Master, I'll go downstairs and have a few of the employees look at this token so they can remember what it looks like for future contact." Nangong Sheng nodded slightly in agreement. After Manager Li left, Su Yunruo looked at Nangong Sheng nervously and whispered, "Second Senior Brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to manage this job well."

Nangong Sheng gently patted his shoulder, comforting and encouraging him, "Junior brother, don't worry. Everything is difficult at the beginning. You just need to be bold and try." Just then, a noisy commotion suddenly came from outside the window. Su Yunruo couldn't help but feel curious and turned to look out the window. She saw a group of innocent children playing happily in the street.

Not long after, Manager Li hurriedly returned to the top floor and reported to them, "Master, everything has been arranged." Nangong Sheng nodded slightly in satisfaction, then instructed, "That's good. You can tell my junior brother in detail about the current business situation of Jin Yu Fang." Manager Li respectfully replied, "Young Master, our Jin Yu Fang is quite well-known in the capital, and our monthly profits are quite considerable. However, recently several newly opened jewelry stores have had a certain impact on us." Su Yunruo listened attentively, her brows gradually furrowing. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Then are there any corresponding countermeasures?" Manager Li immediately replied, "We are trying to launch novel and unique styles to attract more customers."

Before they knew it, it was noon. "Come on, I'll take you to try the famous Zuixianlou restaurant in the capital," Nangong Sheng said to Su Yunruo with a smile. Su Yunruo nodded and followed him out of Jinyufang. The two arrived at Zuixianlou, where the entrance was bustling with people. They entered the restaurant, and a waiter warmly greeted them, leading them to a private room on the second floor. Soon, a series of delicious dishes, each with its own unique color, aroma, and flavor, were served. Su Yunruo's eyes lit up at the sight of the table full of food. She couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks, take a piece of fish, and put it in her mouth. The tender fish melted in her mouth, making her exclaim, "It's delicious!" Then, she tried several other dishes, each one earning her high praise. Nangong Sheng, standing beside her, watched her with a smile, his eyes filled with doting affection and tenderness.

After lunch, the two continued strolling through the streets. The sunlight shone on them, warm and comforting. They walked and chatted, the atmosphere harmonious and pleasant.
