Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 137 Between listening to music or taking a boat trip, I chose to earn gold
What's even stranger is that he has never seen this girl before!
At this time, the aunt who was in charge of the courtyard said that she knew about the clothes. There were only two pieces of cloth in the whole capital that were presented some time ago, and they were all on that girl.

She was the one who took care of things.

Uncle Lin, who usually drives the car, stood by and nodded. "Two days ago, the master asked me how the Shangshu family's only son was doing after pretending to be sick, and where the young masters and ladies of the noble families in the capital usually go when they travel together."

"I thought the son of the Shangshu family had offended him and was going to be in big trouble."

The aunt and the housekeeper were startled by the sudden sound. When they saw who it was, the housekeeper said unhappily, "Why are you walking without making any sound?"

"This is what people who practice martial arts are like." Uncle Lin said with a paralyzed face.

"So what happened to the son of the Shangshu family after he pretended to be sick?" The aunt asked anxiously after listening halfway.

"He was discovered and beaten by Miss Liu from next door. He dropped his crutches and ran away." Uncle Lin described the chaotic scene in a serious manner.

"Then the adult took off the gauze on his hand."

There are few people in the mansion and not many rules. I heard that there was a girl walking side by side with an adult, and the adult even opened the door for her personally.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder where this girl came from.

Two days ago, the whole capital was rumored to have heard that the Imperial Master had a woman he loved, and therefore rejected the royal marriage proposal. Could it be true?!
The spy in the dark asked the question repeatedly twice before hurriedly going into the palace to report.

Shen You was in the study, looking at the agarwood carved stationery. Wen Zhi had two study rooms. This one was where he stayed every day, and the other one was built in the bamboo house at the back.

You can change it when you get tired of it.

It is worthy of being the house given by the old emperor.

The paper on the table was very expensive. According to Shen You's understanding of Da Qi, one piece of paper cost nearly one or two taels of silver.

The words written on it were placed on the table, and Shen You saw it as soon as he glanced over.

Ancient letters without punctuation marks may be difficult to understand at first, but she has come across some of them in her daily life.

To put it simply, there was a problem with the cargo ship transporting cold-resistant supplies to the Western Regions, and the prince was sent out of the capital to investigate. It was someone's conspiracy.

Shen You saw that Wen Zhi didn't care about the letter on the table, so she didn't worry about it.

"There are many interesting places in the capital. Where do you want to go this afternoon?" Wen Zhi asked this while looking at Shen You with his sharp eyes.

Thinking about the places where ordinary young men and women in Beijing would go, who knew that the next second, Shen You said with anticipation, "Of course it's the workshop, I haven't finished learning those skills yet!"

Wen Zhi:.
The entire capital city knew that on the day of the winter solstice, the powerful imperial teacher personally accompanied a young girl out of the palace and came to the most prosperous street.

All everyone knew was that this girl came from Yunzhou and was said to be a businessman, but nothing else could be found out.

Wen Zhi was dressed in a white gown, with a jade hairpin tying his hair, and the silver threads on his cuffs gave off a hint of coolness.
But his appearance was too bad, and this attire made him look even more devilish, just like the rumored person who was misleading the people and controlling the government.

The girl next to her had a fair face and wore a crystal clear hydrangea hairpin on her head, as well as a uniquely shaped gold lantern hairpin.

The two of them standing together naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Who could have thought that not long ago, just now, the two of them were in the workshop, one swinging a hammer to forge gold, while the other watched helplessly and resignedly beside him.

Whose good people specially selected nice clothes, but in the end they did not go to listen to music or go boating, but came to work in the workshop and exchange modern and ancient crafts with others.

It rained early this morning and it was snowing. It was wet and cold. The sky darkened quickly. It was still early, but the street lights were already on.

Because it was the winter solstice, the craftsmen had to go home early. Shen You didn't want to waste other people's time, so he left the workshop at around four in the afternoon.

"Do me a favor." Shen You pointed at the lantern hairpin on her head.

Wen Zhi reached out to help her take off the paper. When the small wick lit up, everyone walking on the street was stunned.

The hairpin actually glows!
On this street decorated with lanterns and dimly lit, the warm-toned lights swayed gently as people walked, which was too eye-catching. Several people from the aristocratic families had never seen such a rare object!
"Isn't that something from the Western Regions?"

"It must be! How can the hairpin glow? Could it be the glowing stone that is unique to the Western Regions?"

As everyone knows, the business in the Western Regions is related to the National Master, so it is only reasonable for him to get the good things from the Western Regions.

What everyone is thinking about is whether this thing can be bought in Liu’s shop. This question is very important!
Shen You asked about the palace banquet, and Wen Zhi said that there was no need to worry about the time, it didn't matter if you arrived early or late, and you didn't have to greet anyone.

That's good. She had spent money to come to this plane and couldn't waste time. Shen You saw a shop selling Western food and went in to take a look out of curiosity.

They sell steamed cakes, and it should also be run by the Liu family.

The business is so popular that the number of cakes is limited every day and the shop will close once they are sold out.

Plus it was the winter solstice, so even more people were buying, and the store employees were overwhelmed.

Shen You looked at the prices. White flour was expensive in ancient times, and the cost of making butter from milk was also not low. Moreover, it was the only shop in Beijing, and other shops did not know how to make Western pastries.

Three taels of silver for a cake is not expensive. There are also very expensive cakes nowadays.

The purpose is to make money from rich people.

"Sir, Miss, today's cakes are gone." The waiter said in embarrassment.

Many people made reservations in advance, so even though we added a lot of servings today, it still wasn’t enough to sell.

"Nothing." Shen You stopped Wen Zhi from using the gold cake to buy it from others.

I was about to leave, but I didn't expect to run into someone I knew.

Zhong Jing came to pick up some pastries and didn't expect to see Shen You here.

He stood there for several seconds, then looked at Wen Zhi beside him.

what happened?

This girl looks a bit like Shopkeeper Shen.

Zhong Jing first bowed to Wen Zhi, then lowered his voice and asked Shen You uncertainly,
"Shen, Manager Shen?"

Shen You nodded: "Long time no see, Mr. Zhong."

When Zhong Jing greeted her, he was still a little confused. It was really Manager Shen!
"What business does Manager Shen have in Beijing?"

He thought that maybe they could be of some help as well.

"No, I just want to come and see the grand spectacle of the Winter Solstice." Shen You replied.

The shop assistant saw that Zhong Jing and Shen You were talking with respect in their tone, and said with great insight,
"There are still a few cakes left in the store that need to be sent to the boss's house. Why not give some to the young lady?"

In fact, Shen You was just curious and didn’t have to buy it, but since he had said that, he couldn’t refuse other people’s kindness.

After paying, I got the ancient steamed cake.

Zhong Jing walked by and said, "The cakes here are very popular in the capital. It's a matter of honor for anyone to have them at a banquet. But compared to the ones you have, Shopkeeper Shen, they're far inferior."

"I'll prepare some more for you in two days." Shen You smiled.

Zhong Jing thanked her with a smile.

But could it be that Shopkeeper Shen and the Imperial Master really have the relationship as rumored?
He still couldn't quite believe how a deity like Manager Shen could easily fall in love with a man.
