Eldest daughter

Chapter 235
A new shop was opened, and this shop belonged to the owner of the Yunyang princess, so Wang Yuan'er thought about it, and selected some inexpensive but interesting items from the thousands of goods, and asked Chen Shu to send them to the steward Wang. It was said that the shop was newly opened, which made the princess and Miss Chen's family feel fresh, and thanked her for renting the shop to him at such a low price.

In fact, if you go deeper, there is no such thing as gratitude between the tenant and the master. After all, it is just a money transaction between you and me.

But Wang Yuan'er didn't think so. A businessman was looking for profit, and she just took a fancy to Yunyang's identity as Princess Yunyang. Sending these things up was not only a good show, but also a publicity for her shop. The people that Princess Yang associates with must be decent people, and the people her young lady associates with are naturally the same.

If Princess Yunyang and that Ms. Chen are playing around with something fresh from her shop, and the people who are looking at it look fresh, who wouldn't ask?
Of course, she wasn't sure if someone would really tell where it came from, but she was afraid that someone who really wanted it wouldn't be able to find out?

As for the excuse of sending things, the purpose is achieved, what kind of excuse is it?Nobody cares if it isn't.

After hearing her explanation, Cui Yuan laughed loudly, and said: "It is true that you can calculate. Are you not afraid that the gain outweighs the loss?"

Sometimes being too calculating is not a good thing.

"I have my sense of propriety, this is a harmless matter, or I am sincerely showing my favor and thanking the princess, besides, this shop is really cheap." Wang Yuan'er's face was taken for granted, but she did not mean to blush at all.

Cui Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Then shall I send some out for you?"

"No need, the court's merchant ships are coming back soon, and they will be a common sight at that time." Wang Yuan'er shook his head.

Just give one, if you want more, people will think that she is too calculating.

Cui Yuan also said that if he really wanted to take it seriously, he himself felt that it was too...self-evident.

……

The Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Chen's House, Princess Yunyang held a flower viewing banquet today, and invited many wives, ladies and sons to come to play. They said it was for viewing flowers, but in fact they wanted to pick a husband and son-in-law for their own daughter. Miss Chen But 13 years old.

The people on the stage were singing an opera, and Princess Yunyang accompanied the wife beside her while listening to the opera while talking. A nanny whispered something in her ear. She was a little surprised, nodded to the people around her, and then went to the flower hall .

Steward Wang sat upright, and when he saw Princess Yunyang coming in, he immediately stood up and saluted.

Princess Yunyang sat on the grand teacher's chair, took a sip of tea, and asked: "What are these things, bring them up and have a look."

Steward Wang opened the bag at hand, and presented everything.

Princess Yunyang looked at it slowly, but was a little surprised at the clear mirror, picked it up to take a picture, and said, "It's very clear, I'll keep it for Miss."

After looking at other things, he was full of interest, and then chuckled: "He is a person who can put his mind to it."

Saying this, another girl came in to reply, and after saying a few words, Princess Yunyang's face sank, and she sneered: "The concubine of the little bitch is also restless, a concubine dares to show off like this, is it true?" What do you want to fight for?" She looked coldly at the things in hand, and suddenly smiled: "Go, call the second lady in, and tell her that I have something new for her to play with other ladies."

"Yes."

Steward Wang lowered his head, feeling emotional in his heart, saying that Miss Wang was lucky or something, just in such an occasion, his master wanted to gain popularity and prestige for the young lady, and today the young lady brought these things out Go for a while, I'm afraid that small shop will usher in a lot of business.

This was also an unintentional mistake. The owner of Yunyang County wanted to give his daughter a prestige, and went out with the things Wang Yuaner sent. Many girls immediately surrounded Miss Chen, chirping and saying: Seeing how interesting this thing is, everyone asked where it came from, and suppressed the limelight of the concubine who had finally attracted the sympathy and praise of many young ladies with her painting skills.

With such a small commotion, many people naturally knew that there was a shop selling imported goods in Bali Hutong in Xicheng.

For a while, many people came to have a look.

On the next day, Wang Yuan'er obviously felt that there were more customers than on the first day of opening, and they were all very decently dressed, some even dressed as servants, but they didn't hesitate to buy things.

People in Beijing have strict rules. Most of the young ladies don’t leave the door. Few unmarried girls can walk outside freely. If they want to buy something, they will naturally send out the maids and servants around them. up.

Wang Yuan'er knew it well, and she was afraid that her little calculation would be effective, so she couldn't help but be overjoyed.

In these few days, the business of Bora & Co. was surprisingly good. A lot of these goods were sold, even two of the more expensive chime clocks were sold.

Of course, the best sellers are all kinds of gadgets that wives and ladies like. Those things are not expensive and fresh, whether they are used by themselves, given away, or rewarded to the servants, they are all very applicable .

On the evening of the fourth day after opening, the shop was closed, and Wang Yuaner took stock of the accounts.

Wang Qing'er was sitting on the side, playing with a kaleidoscope in her hand, watching Wang Yuan'er settle the accounts while talking.

"Elder Sister, after I came to the capital and saw it, I realized that it is really a prosperous and rich place. Those ladies, even if they want to go out for a walk, they have to bring a set of clothes to change at any time."

Wang Yuan'er glanced at her, then buried her head in the account: "And then?"

"What then?" Wang Qing'er looked up and said, "That is to say, the young lady in this big family has really strict rules."

"So, this big family is rich and honorable, but the rules are also strict. You have to pay attention to your image and decency all the time, and it's quite tiring."

"Yes, I think they will be said to be unruly if they walk two steps faster, and they are not elegant." Wang Qing'er remembered a scene where a wife berated her young lady lightly, and couldn't help but be speechless.

"Otherwise, how can there be such a saying that a big family has good rules?" Wang Yuan'er smiled slightly.

"Elder sister, if you marry Master Cui, do you have to abide by such rules? Master Cui's family is also a big family with strict rules, right?" Wang Qing'er asked suddenly.

Wang Yuaner's hand holding the pen paused, and her brows frowned slightly.

The Cui family is a well-known family with a deeper foundation than the average big family. The Cui family, needless to say, must be a well-behaved family.

To marry him is to marry his person, marry his background, his family background, abide by his family's rules, follow the rules.

Wang Yuan'er shuddered, she really didn't expect this.

However, it is too early to say this now, right?
She smiled and shook her head lightly, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, what does it look like if people hear it? The relationship between me and the adults is just an ordinary friendship, and don't forget where this is."

Compared with other places in the capital, women's reputation is more important. Once such a shady story gets out, if it is replaced by a young lady, I am afraid that they will have to die to apologize.

Wang Qing'er sighed after hearing this, and said: "This big family doesn't look so good." If you want to live a rich life, but you don't even have the freedom to move around at will, what's the point of such a life?It's just that he can't even talk and joke casually, he is not afraid of saying anything like a common man.

She looked like she had seen through the world situation, which made Wang Yuan'er laugh, and buried her head in the accounts again.

After some calculations, the result surprised and delighted Wang Yuaner.

But in only four days, the income is as high as more than 600 taels, how can people not be surprised?

"It's only 600 taels. The chiming clock is very expensive, isn't it too much?" Wang Qing'er looked quite calm.

Ziming clocks are expensive to sell, and the asking price is 180 taels. If they are sold for 150 taels, they are sold for 300 taels. The remaining few hundred taels are too few for those bronze mirror lip glosses.

Wang Yuan'er said: "You have to know, it's only been a few days, and those lip glosses are only sold for two or three taels. How many do you want to sell? To be honest, the income these days has been considered good. It has only been open for four days, and it has almost earned back the rent for a year, so I should be content."

Wang Qing'er pouted.

Knowing that she had seen a lot these days, Wang Yuan'er looked down on the profit, so she said, "Think about it, how many tea marinated eggs do we sell in Changle Town for a tael of silver? It's easy to open a business, but it's hard to keep a business open. No loss, it’s rare. These days, we also snatched something new. After the Shibo Division opens, these things are common, but they are not new. At that time, you will know how beneficial it is now. rare."

So, why do people always say that the first person to eat crabs is what they mean. The first one to pioneer first will get the first pot of gold. This is for sure.

Baolai Foreign Firm has achieved this result within a few days of its opening, and it can be regarded as eating crabs. When the merchant ships from the imperial court return, there will be more shops selling this imported product, and their business will not be comparable to what it is now.

But it doesn't matter, the profit of this renter must be earned, and it is a good thing not to lose such a large amount of money. As for the cost of the goods, because they are obtained from their own merchant ships, they cannot be lowered, so the profits are all Pretty high.

Wang Yuan'er said earnestly and earnestly: "Qing'er, no one can reach the sky in one step, and you have to do everything slowly. Even those hundred-year-old masters have gone through several generations and settled down from generation to generation to become the great nobles they are today. It will take time, and it will take wind and rain.”

Wang Qing'er blushed when she was told, and said: "It's me who has a picture."

Wang Yuan'er bit her little nose, and said angrily, "You are just a money-seeker, and it's okay to be a money-seeker. But let's take it step by step, just for this drive, and don't worry about whether you can't make money or not. Your dowry."

"Sister, just laugh at me." Wang Qing'er blushed, and screamed strangely to scratch her creaking hole, and the two sisters laughed together.
