Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 174 I Really Don’t Want to Do Business

"Well, then I'll treat it as a job for you and help you send this man to the government office."

The bearded man took the silver and said before leaving, "Yongzhou City has been unstable these days, so some scoundrels will inevitably take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. If you two are going out, remember to bring more people with you to prevent any accidents like today from happening again."

Shen Nankui nodded in thanks, "Thank you for the reminder, we will pay attention next time."

The bearded man nodded and dragged the thief towards the government office.

He Hua let out a long sigh, "I'm lucky to have met a good person today. Madam, the state lord has been murdered, and things are very strange in the city recently. How about we not go to the teahouse?"

Shen Nankui nodded, "Well, let's go home first."

She touched her bulging belly and thought that she would have to ask the Zheng brothers to follow her next time she went out.

……

Three days later, Yanxia Pavilion in Yongzhou City opened successfully.

Although the city was in a state of panic and strange things happened frequently due to the murder of Zhou Zun, this did not affect the business of Yanxia Pavilion.

Chixia rouge has been sold to Cang County for more than half a year and has long been famous. Now it is sold in Yongzhou, and many people are rushing to buy it.

Shen Nankui had already arranged all the procedures in the shop, so she didn't need to show up for anything. However, to prevent any accidents when the new store opened, she still stayed in the shop and arranged for He Hua and Zhong Shan to come to Yanxia Pavilion to help.

Everyone around her was assigned to work, so Shen Nankui couldn't help feeling a little bored. Fortunately, Tao Ru came to keep her company.

Tao Ru only knew that Chixia Rouge sold very well in Cang County, but she had never witnessed such a popular scene with her own eyes. Now that Yanxia Pavilion in Yongzhou City was opened, she stood by the window of the upper room on the second floor of the shop, which was specially used for Shen Nankui to rest, and looked at the customers who came to the shop door one after another. She was stunned for a while.

"This...so many people?"

Shen Nankui smiled, stood up and walked to the window, "It's the fifth day now. There were more people in the first three days."

Tao Ru was so excited that she couldn't describe the feeling.

Unexpectedly, so many people actually like the rouge she made?

Although I knew that Chixia Rouge had good sales, I knew in my heart that it was always a different feeling than seeing it with my own eyes.

You know, when she first developed the Chixia Rouge and sold it on the street, no one even looked at her. They even thought her products were unclean, called her unlucky, and even wanted to smash her stall...

The past events came to her mind. Now when she thought of them again, the inferiority and cowardice in her heart were gone. She smiled and asked, "Boss, which of the Chixia Rouge and Taowu in this shop sells better?"

Shen Nankui said: "Red Cloud Rouge is the most famous and naturally sells the best, but Peach Mist Rouge, which is natural and makes the complexion appear, is also very popular among women, especially this kind of light-colored rouge, which has always been rare in the market. Given time, it will surely become popular throughout the city."

"Great!"

As they were talking, the sound of the door opening was heard. He Hua came in with two bowls of lotus seed soup on a tray and said with a smile, "Madam, Miss Tao, it's time for lotus seed soup."

Tao Ru teased her, "Hehua, I just came in from the front door and saw you and Zhong Shan busy in the store. Looking at this situation, I think the boss wants to use you in the future, so he wants to train you two like this. Tell me, how does it feel to do business?"

He Hua glanced at Shen Nankui, then pouted and said, "Miss Tao, please stop making fun of me. I am stupid and I made two mistakes today. In my opinion, I don't have the talent for business. I'd better stay by my wife's side."

After saying that, she picked up a bowl of lotus seed soup and handed it to Shen Nankui, smiling ingratiatingly.

"Girl, what do you say?"

Shen Nankui did not take the bowl, "Today I asked you to follow Manager Chen to look at the account book, is this your excuse to avoid doing anything?"

He Hua lowered her eyes and said, "Girl, I really don't want to do business..."

Shen Nankui looked at her quietly, "Have you thought it through?"

He Hua nodded, "Think it through."

Shen Nankui shook his head helplessly, "Hehua, you grew up with me, you can write and do math, these accounts in the store are far from difficult for you. You should know why I asked you and Zhongshan to work in Yanxia Pavilion. Don't you want to be independent in the future?"

He Hua was silent for a moment before nodding, "I think..."

At the beginning, when Shen Nankui released her indenture and returned her home, she originally wanted to live up to the girl's expectations and live a good life, but she was forced by her brother and sister-in-law. With the determination to give it a try, she returned to her girl.

After following Shen Nankui again, her own girl treated her even better than before.

How could she have deserved the girl's favor so many times?

From then on, he made up his mind to repay his girl's kindness with his whole life.

She also saw through Shen Nankui's plan. It was just as Miss Tao said. She was training herself and Zhongshan now in the hope of making use of them in the future. But the so-called use meant that she could not always be with Shen Nankui. She was reluctant to leave the girl, so even though she knew that her girl was doing this for her own good, she still did not want to obey.

"Girl, being independent is not as important as staying by your side. Please let me stay..."

Shen Nankui sighed, "You, why can't you figure it out?"

Hehua laughed, "I understand, how could I not know what the lady is thinking? But Hehua doesn't want to obey you this time, I hope the lady can help me."

Shen Nankui was moved. He took the lotus seed soup she handed over, smiled and said, "Okay, you have to be willing. Since you don't want to do business, I will make other plans for you in the future."

"Thanks girl!"

Hearing this, Hehua immediately smiled happily.

"Girl, I just sneaked into the kitchen and made you your favorite lotus leaf cake in addition to the lotus seed soup. I'll bring it to you right away!"

After she left, Tao Ru smiled and sighed, "Boss, He Hua is really loyal to you."

me too.

She said in her mind.

Although she and Shen Nankui were not master and servant, she needed to repay Shen Nankui's kindness with her whole life.

……

end of July.

Although it is the beginning of autumn, the climate in the south of the Yangtze River has not cooled down yet, which makes Shen Nankui quite uncomfortable. At this time in the capital and Cang County, there must be cool breezes in the morning and evening.

Along with my longing for the northern climate, Hu Wenyan's reply also arrived.

As expected, the Hu family agreed to Shen Nankui's proposal and were willing to work with her in the fabric business. Shen Nankui provided the supply and transportation, the Hu family provided the venue and managed the business, and the two parties split the profits 50-50.

Now that things had been decided, Shen Nankui immediately got to work.

It just so happened that the caravan had just returned from Cang County. In addition to transporting rouge back, they also had to send cloth to the Hu family. In this way, the scale of the caravan had begun to take shape.
