I fought back after reselling my engagement

Don't trust everything people say, as news will change as it's passed around. It's true that she knows the Ninth Princess and Princess Changle, but in the eyes of outsiders, they are just acquaintances.

"Such a wonderful woman, I wonder who will marry her in the future?"

As they were talking, a handsome young man who looked like a fallen immortal stretched out his hand and said, "Cousin, get in the car."

Zhen Su couldn't help but thank Su Mo for his kindness, "How are you doing recently, cousin Mo?"

Su Mo said: "We are not renting a shop, but buying one. We looked at several places, but either the location is bad or the house is too old."

Zhen Su was silent for a moment. "Cousin, when you look at the shop, can you please keep an eye out for me? If you want to sell the shop someday, how about you consider Cousin Mo first?"

Su Mo smiled and said, "No problem. If there is anything suitable later, I will keep it for my cousin."

"Thank you, cousin."

She had some money on hand. After Su Wan passed away, her dowry was managed by her grandmother Xiao Xie. Later, her aunt-in-law managed it for another two years. In fact, no matter how good the business was, it would be a little worse when it fell into the hands of her aunt-in-law.

Before her death, Xiao Xie joked, "Your aunt-in-law is a great help to her children and grandchildren, but she is not a great help to her husband and family. She is just a good money loser."

The whole family was laughing at the time, and my aunt was embarrassed, "It was a big money in my mother's hands, but it immediately became a small money in my hands."

My grandmother has given some advice to my aunt, but she is good at managing the house and taking care of the family's food and clothing. She is also good at managing the farm, but she is not good at managing the shop. And she doesn't have a capable maidservant.

The dark green boy looked at Zhen Su steadily: Hu Yuanniang was dead, she was also a beauty, was she as beautiful as the princess? If she had not disappeared, he should have married Hu Yuanniang, originally they had agreed to get married in September, but now she was gone.

The Hu family did mention having their sister marry him, but he was not someone who could be married to just anyone.

The young man in the dark green robe was filled with emotions. He had never seen Hu Yuanniang, but he instinctively felt that Hu Yuanniang looked just like Zhen Su, noble, proud, and beautiful. An inexplicable seed sprouted and took root in his heart.

Su Mo and Su Wulang continued to wander around the city.

As soon as Su Qinnan returned home, she chattered about how outside today, there was a maid who escaped from a brothel and hugged her cousin's legs and wouldn't let go. Her cousin was soft-hearted and spent two hundred taels of silver to buy her away. She also said that the maid was arrogant and said she could help her cousin make money and so on.

Zhen Su looked at Hua Shiyi and Ye Qing'er, picked up a pen and wrote down a string of names: Qiuhua, Qiurong, Qiuye, Qiuju, Qiuguo, "From now on, keep the names Hua Shiyi and Ye Qing'er in your hearts and pick the names you like from the above."

Qiu Rong, pronounced the same as Qiu Rong, Hua Qiu Rong was once her name.

Hua Shiyi took the pen, circled the word "Qiu Rong", and handed the pen to Ye Qing'er. Ye Qing'er looked at it for a while and circled the name "Qiu Ye".

Zhen Su said, "Okay, from now on, one of you will be called Qiu Rong and the other will be called Qiu Ye. Internally, I am the chief steward and you two are the minor stewards; externally, I am the master and you are the maids. As long as you do your job with all your heart and are loyal, I, Zhen Su, will not treat you unfairly. Qiu Rong, didn't you say that you can make money and look after a shop? Can you also open a shop?"

Chunyue called out "Princess", "She is just a little girl, but she can run a shop and manage a shop. It takes many years of hard work. Even Cui Ping, the shopkeeper, has been running a shop since his ancestors."

Zhen Su raised his hand and said, "Since Qiu Rong said she has the ability, I will give her a chance. As long as she proves herself, she can be the manager of the shop. I will make Shop No. 1 the best rouge and powder shop in Yueyang Prefecture. I will allow Qiu Rong to have room to play freely. I will support you in stocking goods, decoration, and spending money.

This shop is my aunt's dowry. I can fail, but you can't. If you fail, you have to come back to me and serve as a maid. If you succeed, you will be the manager of the Rouge Shop."

Qiu Rong bowed her head respectfully, "I will do my best to complete the task and will not let my master down."

"Tomorrow, you can take Chunjiang out to inspect the shops. Take inventory of the goods in Shop No. 1 and transfer them to Shop No. 2. Madam, there is not enough staff in the house, so we need to transfer the manager of Shop No. 1 back to the farm to be the head of the farm."

The manager of Shop No. 1 was not a shopkeeper, but was originally the head of the farm, and was forced by my aunt to be the manager. The manager of Shop No. 1 wanted to go back to the farm as soon as possible, so she pushed Qiu Rong to the vacancy.

If Qiu Rong wanted to be a manager, she had to prove her ability. Zhen Su knew that Qiu Rong had been familiar with running a shop since she was nine years old. Since she had such a talent, she would give him enough trust and make use of him.

At nightfall, Chunyue came in holding an iron box.

"Princess, this was sent by Master Mo. He said he was thanking you for taking care of him when he was sick."

Zhen Su looked at the purple painted iron box and said, "Put it down!"

Haruzuki put the box on the dressing table.

Zhen Su continued to practice calligraphy. Lately, she has been busy designing either jewelry or clothing. From time to time, she also has to play shuttlecock with her cousin.

After practicing calligraphy for an hour, Zhen Su washed his hands and opened the brocade box. Inside were several banknotes, a house deed, and a letter. Judging from the handwriting on the envelope, it was written by Su Mo himself:

"Cousin Jiarou:

I am very happy to see you in person! In Taikang Town, my cousin has been taking care of me for nearly a month. She also gave me money and medicine, which saved me from death. I have benefited a lot from her. I know that she is very busy managing the shop that my aunt brought as a dowry. These banknotes and house deeds are just a small token of my gratitude. I hope you will accept them."

He was very honest and knew that she was most in need of money. He also guessed that his aunt and uncle didn't have much money, so his aunt kept a close eye on his cousin's spending. This had never happened when his grandmother was alive. How could the granddaughter of a high-ranking official worry about a few dozen taels of silver? It was probably because the family didn't have enough money.

Zhen Su counted and found that there were as much as five thousand taels of silver notes delivered this time. Although the title deed was not located on the most prosperous street in the city, it was not far from Yipintang Restaurant and Ruyifang.

The next day, before Qiu Rong and Chun Jiang were about to leave, Zhen Su said to her, "The shop at No. 16 South Changping Street is the property I bought. When you go there today, take a look over there to see what kind of business is suitable. I still have some money in my hand, and I want to open the shop as soon as possible."

"I will definitely take a closer look."

Zhen Su took out two ten-liang silver notes and said, "When you go out, buy yourself some decent clothes and some decent jewelry. Take them."

"Thank you, master." Qiu Rong thanked and took Chunjiang out.

In the afternoon, Chunjiang came back to report, "My lord, Qiurong went to three big dental shops today and bought a family of four from them. They said that the shop on Changping Street is suitable for a braised food shop. The family of four she was looking at, the husband and wife are both good at braised food. If she bought a couple, there is no reason not to buy their daughter. The woman is pregnant with another child."

"how much is it?"

"Thirty taels for the two girls, and thirty taels for the couple, a total of sixty taels of silver."
