Cultivation Quick Transmigration: The Believer Girl is Lacking Money and Morals

After Xiao Shiyan left, Liu Chenchen nestled back on the soft couch and dozed off for a while.

If the autumn sun is a little warm, it shines into the house and makes it feel cozy and cozy.

She wasn't really asleep; she was just resting with her eyes closed, her mind still racing.

In such a grand mansion, what use is status alone? There are also superiors who oppress the parents-in-law. This is a world where filial piety is paramount.

You still need to have enough confidence.

Without opening his eyes, he simply called out to Bai Zhi lazily.

Bai Zhi, who was waiting outside the door for instructions, immediately opened the door and entered the room upon hearing the voice: "Master."

Liu Chenchen disliked the title "Princess Consort" and had it changed early on. From now on, she would be called "Master," which sounded much better.

"Bring me my dowry list."

Bai Zhi turned around and quickly brought out a small booklet, handing it to Liu Chenchen with both hands.

Liu Chenchen didn't get up, but simply took it and began to examine it while leaning against the soft pillow.

The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. Liu Chenchen truly lived up to her reputation as the legitimate daughter of the Minister's mansion; her dowry was truly impressive.

It has everything: silks and satins, gold and silver ornaments, books and paintings, and precious medicinal herbs, all of good quality.

The gold headdresses and jade jewelry were also individually packaged in small boxes, which were then placed into large trunks, totaling four trunks.

The silver was all exchanged for silver ingots, which filled five large boxes, totaling fifty thousand taels.

Finally, there was a small box containing a contract.

There are three shops, a suburban estate, and the estate also includes 500 acres of high-quality farmland.

And all the indentures on the shops and estates.

She also looked at the shop. Although it wasn't in the best location, it was on the second busiest street, which was not bad.

Liu Chenchen closed the booklet, a smile playing on her lips.

All that effort and risk has been taken, but now it seems it was all worth it.

Little did she know that the Minister's mansion alone didn't have that many good things.

It was all because Minister Liu, wanting to curry favor with Prince Xian and not wanting to be seen as greedy, used the betrothal gifts sent by Prince Xian's residence to make way for the dowry.

Of the 108 dowry items, 88 were sent by the Prince Xian's Mansion.

However… she tapped the booklet cover lightly with her fingers.

Can Liu Qiongqiong really accept this?

If it were her, and someone tricked her out of everything she deserved, she would probably dig three feet into the ground to get her revenge.

Whether she likes it or not, she's only giving her one chance. A smart person would know how to choose; if she's not so smart... well...

In this world, it is already difficult for women to survive. She does not want to make things difficult for anyone, but if anyone blocks her way, she will never be lenient.

"I need to go check on the shop these next few days." She looked up and instructed Bai Zhi, "Go and make arrangements, keep it low-key, and don't make a big fuss."

"Yes, Master."

Over the next few days, Liu Chenchen put the dowry items into storage where they needed to be and displayed them where they needed to be.

Several elegant antique ornaments have been added to the main hall of Dongwu Garden, and several sets of luxurious headdresses have been added to the dressing table.

The maids bustled about, their faces beaming with joy.

With their mistress having confidence, those who serve her also feel proud.

Three days later, Liu Chen sat heavily in a carriage, taking only two maids, Bai Zhi and Ban Xia, with him as he left the palace.

Our first stop was "Wenxiang Pavilion" in the south of the city.

The carriage stopped at the intersection of the second street, and Liu Chenchen got out and walked over.

The shop's location isn't the best, but it's large.

The building is three stories high, and the facade is a bit old, but the structure is still quite sturdy.

Manager Li, a kind-looking middle-aged man, was already waiting at the door. Upon seeing her, he quickly bowed and said, "This humble servant greets Master."

Liu nodded and stepped into the store.

The lobby was spacious and fairly clean, but there were only a few guests scattered around, with just a handful of tables.

The waiters were somewhat sluggish and listless, and they didn't take the initiative to approach the customers.

Manager Li stood nervously behind Liu Chenchen, waiting for his master to lose his temper.

Liu Chenchen waved her hand, said nothing more, and went straight upstairs.

The second floor consists of individual private rooms, a simple restaurant layout with nothing special about it. But then again, what special features could there be in this day and age?

The third floor was even emptier, with only some miscellaneous items piled up.

What surprised Liu Chenchen the most was that there was a spacious backyard behind it.

The total area is actually larger than the restaurant in front.

There are artificial hills and small ponds, which are a bit dilapidated because they have not been maintained for a long time, but that is not a problem.

No matter what you're going to use it for, you should still decorate it properly.

I took the ledger from the shopkeeper, glanced through it casually, and to be honest, the ledgers of this era were really not good, but I knew that business wouldn't be very good.

He closed the ledger and handed it to the side, saying, "You keep running it for now; I have other plans in a few days."

Manager Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

Finally, there's Bookstore.

This location is quite good; it's in the south of the city, and the entire street is basically a refined area.

Bookstores, pleasure boats, teahouses, and book towers, etc.

This shop is called "Bixiangzhai" and has two floors.

The shopkeeper was a thin, elderly man with a scholarly air, which suited the place quite well.

Seeing Liu Chenchen enter, he quickly put down the book in his hand and stepped forward to bow: "Master has arrived."

Liu Chenchen casually pulled a book from the bookshelf and flipped through it: "How's business?"

Shopkeeper Wang smiled bitterly: "We're barely making ends meet. Although there are many scholars, few can afford books. We still rely on selling writing implements to survive."

Liu Chenchen looked at the storybook in her hand. It was about talented men and beautiful women, but the writing was mediocre and not very interesting.

He casually shoved it back: "Help me find out if the shops on either side are for sale."

Shopkeeper Wang was taken aback. He had already said that business was bad, so why did he still want to buy a shop?

If you think of something, you should ask it; you can't let your master lose money.

"Master, business is not good on this street."

Liu Chenchen understood Manager Wang's good intentions and smiled, "I have other uses for it, you can go and inquire."

The last stop was a cosmetics shop.

This is also the company that Liu Chenchen is most optimistic about; if there is any profit to be made, it's this one.

The rouge shop is in the west of the city, so this is different from the situation at the bookstore.

The street was bustling with activity, lined with shops on both sides and teeming with people.

This shop is also the only one on the main street among the three shops.

The rouge shop is called "Yu Rong Xuan". The storefront is not big, but it is decorated exquisitely with pink gauze curtains hanging, giving it a somewhat... modern and frivolous feel.

Okay, her thoughts aren't pure anymore.

The shopkeeper was a woman in her thirties surnamed Sun, who looked shrewd and capable.

She had been waiting at the door for a while, and when she saw the carriage stop, she quickly went forward and said, "Master, please come in and take a look."

As Liu Chenchen entered the shop, a sweet fragrance wafted towards her. Inside, two young women were greeting customers.

Just take a casual look.

The shelves were stocked with various cosmetics and face powders, and several customers were browsing them; the overall atmosphere was pleasant.

Shopkeeper Sun leaned closer to Liu Chenchen and pointed to a shop not far away: "Master, that's a newly opened Beauty's Intoxication. They have a wide variety of dishes, and the prices aren't much higher than ours. They've been taking away a lot of business from our shop lately."

Liu Chenchen glanced in that direction once, then ignored it.

I randomly opened a few boxes of face powder and perfume and smelled them; they were all ordinary products, not particularly refined.

He picked out a few more expensive items to look at before asking, "Where did you get all this from?"

Manager Sun hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Master, these are goods from Jiangnan."

After putting down the face powder, an idea came to mind.

After inspecting the three shops, Liu Chenchen returned to the carriage and leaned against the wall to rest with his eyes closed.

Bai Zhi and Ban Xia exchanged a glance, neither daring to make a sound to disturb them.
