Jiang Xinman looked left and right again, but couldn't find anything wrong with it. She praised, "Not bad!"
When the little girl heard Jiang Xinman's words, she was quite happy. She proudly gave her mother a look, indicating that she could do it.
There was a person outside the shop who looked very familiar. It was the young eunuch she met last time, and he was whispering to Xie Chaosheng.
Xie Chaosheng's expression did not change. He only said that he had an urgent matter to attend to and needed to go out for a while. Jiang Xinman told him to hurry up and go. There were some things that she couldn't say in front of him.
After Xie Chaosheng left with his little follower, the little girl teased, "Are we just going to let him go? Why don't you whisper?"
Jiang Xinman was speechless for a moment. What did she mean by looking like she was watching a good show...
"Little girl, if you don't study hard for a day, what are you thinking about?"
The little girl was a little surprised. "Study? Tailoring clothes? I know everything... As for studying, it's for those with status or those who want to take the exam. It has nothing to do with me."
Jiang Xinman was going to change the little girl's opinion today: "Why can't ordinary people read? Reading enriches the heart, but learning isn't just about reading. There are other things, such as learning how to calculate."
The little girl pouted and muttered something that Jiang Xinman did not hear clearly. The proprietress agreed with her, but she could not help but sigh.
"Miss, you are either the daughter of a rich family or you have an extraordinary status. The people who come to my place are not as rich as the shop across the street. If you master a skill, you won't have to worry about not having anything to eat when you go out in the future."
After that, he patted her daughter's head. She was still young and didn't understand the ways of the world. He was always afraid that she would suffer alone.
Jiang Xinman looked at the shop across from her. The gold and jade were almost blinding her. If it wasn't so dazzling, she wouldn't have refused to go in and made Xie Chaosheng change his mind and come to this shop.
Jiang Xinman was very surprised to see the roots of the lotus. There was a cold tea shop on the side, and he was sitting there drinking tea. Seeing that Jiang Xinman had seen him, he nodded and continued to drink his tea as if he didn't know her.
Now, he had become a dark guard?
But the position is too obvious, right? Could it be that he is deliberately misleading people?
No matter what his goal was, Jiang Xinman could always see his figure, including in the palace. She didn't know how he got in.
Jiang Xinman ignored him and continued to chat.
"Lady Boss, how's your business?"
"Hard to do." Said the little girl angrily. "Some of our business has been robbed by the other side, and it is our business, but the other side offers a higher price, and the customers who come to our shop go to them. I don't know what the rich people think. ! "
"If my mother didn't agree, I would have raised the price a long time ago."
The lady boss didn't agree. She tried to persuade her daughter, "We don't rely on high prices to make money. We rely on our conscience and honesty. Don't ruin the reputation that I have built up over the years! "
The girl looked bitter, "You have said it seven or eight hundred times. I know it. Don't worry!"
Jiang Xinman asked tentatively, "What do you think of Dong Cheng?"
The Lady Boss repeated Jiang Xinman's words: "East City?"
"Yes."
It was obvious that the Lady Boss had been to the East city before. She said with some nostalgia, "The East city... is a good place. It makes more money than here."
Jiang Xinman had some doubts, "Since the money was found in the east side of the city, why didn't you open a shop in the east side of the city instead of coming to the imperial city?"
The landlady glanced at her daughter and said, "When his father wanted to come to the Imperial City to study, I decided to open my shop in the Imperial City so that I could take care of him. When I get old, I can't work anymore. This place is good. "
"Then her father..." Jiang Xinman was very curious about what kind of story it was in the end.
"Dead." The little girl said calmly with red eyes.
The Lady Boss, on the other hand, was more open-minded and could even joke around with Jiang Xinman. "He went to be the boss across the street."
"People change. It's all right to have a disagreement, but it's a good thing you followed me and not him, or I'd have lost a lot of money," the landlady said, trying to lighten the mood.
"Do you want to come to the East Side? I have an empty shop and I want to make some money for myself. If you're interested, you can go to the Jiang family on the East Side and find the Second Miss."
Jiang Xinman offered them an olive branch. After all, she would inherit her father's family fortune in the future, and her brother was still young.
Her eldest brother had gone to the army camp, and her second brother was wandering around in the martial arts world. She hadn't seen him for a few years, and her sister had entered the palace. She was the only suitable person in the family.
Although her father could live for another forty years, it didn't stop her from earning pocket money in advance.
The clothes in the lady boss's shop were more in line with Jiang Xinman's aesthetics. There was a style that did not exist in the east side of the city, and the people of the east side of the city were both nostalgic and eager for new clothes. If they opened a shop in the east side of the city, it would definitely be much better than the uniform elegance and dignified style of the Imperial City.
The proprietress couldn't quite believe it. "Jiang family? Isn't that the richest man in the East District?! Why would his young lady come here to do business?"
It was obvious that the proprietress had mistaken her for a servant of the Jiang family. It was impossible for the second young lady of the Jiang family to come to her shop. If she wanted to go, she would go to the other side of the street, not to an ordinary shop like theirs.
However... The reputation of the second young lady of the Jiang family was really bad, I'm afraid...
"Hmm... I can show you the lease..."
Seeing that she was not trusted, Jiang Xinman felt very sad. She took out the crumpled shop lease in her purse. The last tenant had reached the end of his lease and returned to his hometown, so the shop was empty.
The landlady picked up the lease and looked at it again and again. The red badge of the emperor could not be faked, and there was also the red badge of the Jiang family on it. It was real.
It was an empty lease, but the paper was too wrinkled. As expected of the Jiang family, they were so rich that they did not even put a small shop in their eyes.
The little girl looked at the wrinkled lease and sighed, "The lease represents the ownership of the shop. Buying such a big shop is something that we haven't been able to buy for years."
The rent was broken, but it was no longer private. It would have to be bought again from the emperor.
It didn't even matter. Did the Jiang family pay for these broken leases every year? The Jiang family was such a waste of money.
They were tempted. After all, it was easier to enjoy the cool air by leaning against a big tree. Moreover, the Jiang family was not an ordinary big tree, but a forest!
Jiang Xinman didn't have the awareness of how the Jiang family had money. Although she lived in the Jiang family, her pocket money was limited to buying crispy duck food. It didn't cost much every month, and it was all kept in the accountant's office.
Her knowledge of the Jiang family's financial resources was extremely limited. She had no idea how many people wanted to do business with the Jiang family.
As long as the Jiang family said that they could make money, then this business would definitely be profitable.
Jiang Xinman was born in a very good environment, but... He was a fool. If he killed himself, other than the fact that the status of a merchant's daughter was a little low, he could do anything else. His status was not important, what was important was that he had money to spend.
