There is a happy inn in the capital.

Shopkeeper Xu picked up the mirror and examined it closely. It was a round mirror with a handle at the bottom.

Manager Xu had seen bronze mirrors before, but he had never seen one that reflected a person so clearly, even showing the pores on their face.

The entire piece is rose gold, with complex craftsmanship and unparalleled luxury. The more Manager Xu looked at it, the more astonished he became.

If this stuff were in his shop, it would be snapped up like crazy.

Composing himself, he politely asked, "May I ask how you are addressed?"

The wealthy young man (Li Shuchen) picked up a fan, opened it, and fanned himself: "People call him the wealthy young man."

Upon hearing this, Manager Xu was startled; it was him.

Judging from Manager Xu's reaction, Li Shuchen knew that Manager Xu must have heard of him. He hadn't expected that the wealthy young master would be exposed in just one day.

The shopkeeper, Mr. Xu, knew about the new oil-paper umbrellas that had just arrived at the shop. They were very popular, exquisitely crafted, and his wife had even bought one, praising its superior quality.

Looking at this small golden mirror now, it certainly seems to have been made by the same person.

Manager Xu clasped his hands in a respectful greeting: "I was blind and had no idea you were a 'wealthy young master'."

The wealthy young master (Li Shuchen): "Manager Xu, you flatter me. Since you know me, you should understand that I don't have recipes, only goods."

Shopkeeper Xu nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I understand. May I ask how much silver you would like to offer me?"

Li Shuchen glanced at Manager Xu; this guy was quite savvy.

The wealthy young man (Li Shuchen) said slowly, "Two hundred taels of silver per handful."

Shopkeeper Xu was overjoyed. Two hundred taels of silver per mirror meant there were likely many more.

Those who frequented his shop were all wealthy and influential; the rich ladies and young women, who loved beauty, naturally adored the little golden mirror that could reflect all beauty.

Let alone two hundred taels of silver, even three hundred or four hundred taels would be enough for him to sell it for, but he wants to keep one for his wife and one for his daughter first.

Li Shuchen had carefully considered her choice of this retro-style small mirror. A mirror that was too large might attract trouble, while this small one was convenient to carry and wouldn't draw attention.

Shopkeeper Xu: "I wonder how many mirrors like this you, young master?"

Li Shuchen pulled a black package from her sleeve. She'd been putting on an act for half a day, which had exhausted her; her left arm ached terribly, but she couldn't show it. Now she was finally free.

The wealthy young master (Li Shuchen): Thirty faces

This shouldn't be bought in large quantities. Originally, she only planned to buy fifty pieces of flour from Xiao Jizi, but then she thought about it and bought thirty pieces instead.

Shopkeeper Xu inspected the goods and nodded in satisfaction: "Young Master, please wait a moment while I prepare the funds."

Li Shuchen had a stun gun and a sleeping powder tucked into his right sleeve, just in case.

Soon, Manager Xu brought in a purse, which probably contained silver notes.

Shopkeeper Xu: "Young master, here are six thousand taels of silver notes. Please verify."

Li Shuchen took the purse and counted it; it contained six silver notes worth one thousand taels each. The money was correct.

Pack it up and put it in your pocket.

The wealthy young man (Li Shuchen) clasped his hands in a respectful greeting: "May our cooperation be fruitful."

Manager Xu returned the gift: "A pleasure doing business with you, young master."

Li Shuchen cautiously exited the shop through the back door and disappeared into the street in a flash. Before dawn, he vanished into the alley.

After quickly changing his equipment, Li Shuchen was overjoyed. He had bought it from Xiao Jizi for thirty taels of silver and resold it for six thousand taels of silver, making a net profit of five thousand nine hundred and seventy taels of silver.

Quickly return 1,000 taels to Xiao Jizi, and put the remaining 4,970 taels into Xiao Jizi's spatial storage. It's not safe to keep so much money on your person.

Including the 180 taels of silver that had been put in earlier, there were a total of 5,150 taels of silver in the space. Li Shuchen only had 8 taels of silver left on him.

On the other side, Manager Xu was also all smiles. Luckily, he had stayed up late checking the goods last night and slept in the shop; otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten his hands on these good items. These are good, but there's just too little—only thirty noodles!

However, scarcity drives up value, so it's sure to fetch a good price. This time, Liuli Pavilion is going to become famous again!

His wife will definitely praise him for being capable.

What Manager Xu didn't know was that Li Shuchen had already inquired beforehand and knew that the manager of Liuli Pavilion would most likely stay overnight that day; otherwise, Li Shuchen would have missed her and wasted her money.

The wealthy young master had been operating for two consecutive days, so Li Shuchen decided to stop for the next few days, fearing that someone with ulterior motives might be watching. He now had quite a bit of money, but it hadn't yet been used legitimately.

We need to think of a solution.

The transaction with Manager Xu went smoothly, and since it was still early, Ziying and Changning should not be awake yet.

Li Shuchen ran up the wall and into the small courtyard. Qiao Miao went back to bed and took a nice nap.

I slept until 9 a.m., stretched and kicked my legs, opened the window to breathe in some fresh air, and felt great!

Grape saw Li Shuchen through the window: "Miss, you're awake. I'll get you breakfast."

Li Shuchen: "Just take it to the pavilion, I'll eat there."

Grape: "Yes, miss."

After washing up, Li Shuchen went to the pavilion, where a meal had already been laid out.

A bowl of millet porridge, two plump white steamed buns, a plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes, and a bowl of red date and bird's nest soup.

The red date and bird's nest soup was prepared by Princess Changning, who plans to drink it every day. Gu Ziying and Li Shuchen were also invited to drink it.

Li Shuchen finished all the food in just four cups of tea (twenty minutes).

I haven't seen Gu Ziying and Princess Changning for a long time.

Li Shuchen: "Grape, what are the two of them doing?"

Grape stopped watering the flowers upon hearing this.

"Miss Gu said early this morning that she wanted to go for a walk and enjoy the spring scenery, while Princess Changning went to find something fun to do."

Li Shuchen nodded: "I see."

Li Shuchen didn't know when the two of them would return.

Just then, Gu Ziying returned and walked towards Li Shuchen in the pavilion.

Gu Ziying: "Although the sky was a bit foggy, the flowers and plants along the roadside were vibrant and beautiful."

Li Shuchen looked at Gu Ziying's upturned lips and felt very happy.

Li Shuchen: "Whatever makes you happy."

Gu Ziying opened a package of pastries and said, "Try it, I think it tastes pretty good."

Li Shuchen recognized it as a type of rice cake. She was familiar with it; she had craved it while watching a TV series about getting rich quick, and now she could finally enjoy the authentic version.

I couldn't wait to pick one up and take a bite. The outer skin was white and soft, the filling was delicate and sweet, and the aroma of red beans filled my mouth.

Li Shuchen ate bite after bite, exclaiming, "Delicious, so delicious!"

Gu Ziying smiled and replied, "Eat more if you like, I bought quite a lot."

Li Shuchen: "Hmm"

Nodding, he stuffed another piece into his mouth.

Princess Changning rushed into the small garden and saw Li Shuchen and Gu Ziying in the pavilion.

He grabbed Li Shuchen with one hand and pulled Gu Ziying with the other: "Quick, stop eating, come with me, there's something good."

Gu Ziying asked疑惑地问道：“What good stuff?”

To make the dignified Princess Changning so crazy

She was pampered from a young age and had seen it all.

Li Shuchen didn't understand either; surely she couldn't possibly see the little gold mirrors she had sold?

Princess Changning was extremely anxious: "You'll find out when we get there, hurry!"

Gu Ziying and Li Shuchen exchanged a glance, and had no choice but to follow Princess Changning.
