Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

The carriage stopped outside the Tianxing Pavilion. Liang Heng got off the carriage with an indifferent look in his eyes, exuding an aura that said "keep away from strangers".

The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, thinking, could it be that someone has angered the Pavilion Master today? He is not usually like this...

Liang Heng did not go directly to the living room after entering Tianxing Pavilion, but went straight to the study. Then Bai Zhu went to the living room to invite Su Xuqing and Sun Youwei to the study for a chat.

This was the second time that Su Xuqing and Sun Youwei entered Liang Heng's study. The slightly awkward scene last time came to their minds. After they came in, they didn't know how to start the conversation for a while.

Liang Heng sat on the armchair, his arms resting on the desk, his eyes as deep as a lake.

"Princess, Miss Sun, you came to see me today. Is there something else going on?"

Liang Heng deliberately emphasized the syllable of the word "again", hoping that Su Xuqing and Sun Youwei would give up.

After hearing his words, Su Xuqing felt uncomfortable all over, as if she owed Liang Heng money...

Su Xuqing nudged Sun Youwei with her elbow, motioning her to speak, and then when Sun Youwei saw Liang Heng, she was like a kitten that had inhaled catnip, and her whole body became confused.

Su Xuqing held her forehead in frustration, then smiled and said, "It's like this, Pavilion Master Liang. Miss Sun plans to buy a shop in the capital, but she hasn't decided where to locate it, so she has circled out a few locations that she likes. She would like to ask Pavilion Master Liang, a business giant, to give her some advice."

Liang Heng was stunned and looked at Sun Youwei. What? Business? Her?

Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the most humble. As a descendant of a noble family, Sun Youwei actually lowered her status to engage in business? What was she thinking?

"Of course I can give you some advice, but I would also like to remind Ms. Sun that doing business is full of difficulties. You have to deal with all kinds of rules and social etiquette. If you are not careful, you may lose everything. Have you thought it through?"

Sun Youwei's heart was beating very fast. She gently covered her chest to calm herself down a little, then said softly, "Youwei made this decision after careful consideration."

Seeing that she was not fooling around on impulse, Liang Heng leaned forward slightly and said slowly: "Can you tell me why you want to do business? The Taifu Mansion should not be short of money, right?"

Sun Youwei exhaled lightly and looked at Liang Heng with burning eyes, "I have always admired Pavilion Master Liang. I want to be as powerful as you and create an industry bigger than Tianxing Pavilion..."

Sun Youwei kept the last sentence in her heart and didn't say it out loud, which was that she hoped Liang Heng would look at her more at that time.

Hearing this, the corners of Liang Heng's mouth twitched slightly under his mask. It seemed that Sun Youwei was unwilling to give up...

After pondering for a moment, Liang Heng felt a little headache. He might as well refuse to help and let Sun Youwei fend for herself. The business world in the capital is not so easy to survive in. It won't be long before she will be discouraged by the saturated market.

Seeing Liang Heng fall silent, Sun Youwei thought he looked down on her, so she quickly said, "I know Pavilion Master Liang may think I'm bragging, but... but with the help of the Crown Prince's Consort, I can definitely make the business a success."

Liang Heng had a severe headache. He looked at Su Xuqing and said, "The Crown Prince's Consort is also planning to do business?"

Su Xuqing nodded helplessly, "I provided the formula for making the freckle removal potion, and Miss Sun is responsible for the specific operation. I have no choice but to make money to pay off my debts."

Liang Heng naturally knew what Su Xuqing meant by owing money, and he was also a little helpless. Since it concerned his wife, he had no choice but to help.

"In that case, I will help you to consider it."

Sun Youwei was delighted and quickly unfolded the map in her hand and laid it on Liang Heng's desk.

Liang Heng stared at the map and pondered.

After a while, he dipped the pen in ink and drew a circle on the map. Su Xuqing and Sun Youwei both thought that he would choose the shop near West Lake, but he chose none of them. Instead, he chose one near the city gate in the north of the city.

“This is the best place.”

"Ah? Why is that? As far as I know, the north of the city is the most difficult place to do business in Beijing, and there are relatively few people. Even if you want to save money, you can't choose here."

Su Xuqing was very puzzled and looked at Liang Heng inquiringly, suspecting that he was up to some bad idea.

Sun Youwei also felt that it was unreasonable, but she was too embarrassed to question Liang Heng, so she just waited quietly for his explanation.

Liang Heng stretched out his hand and looked at the table, then said slowly: "At the moment, it seems that West Lake is a good place to do business, but if Miss Sun wants to expand her business, she must take a long-term view. Although the North Gate is a bit off and not crowded, think about what is outside the North Gate?"

"Outside the north gate?"

Su Xuqing rubbed her chin, frowned, and thought with a bitter face.

Liang Heng stared at her face, his heart pounding, and thought to himself that my wife is so charming when she is worried.

"There shouldn't be anything outside the North Gate except for mountains and a big river, right?"

"That's right." Liang Heng nodded. "You don't know that the Ministry of Revenue has allocated funds to counties downstream of the canal for several consecutive years in an attempt to open up the Grand Canal, connect the Yangtze River, and connect the north and the south. Just imagine that in the past, the exchange of materials between the north and the south could only be done by land, which was time-consuming and laborious. Many fresh goods were spoiled on the way before they could be delivered. But once the canal is connected to the Yangtze River, the exchange and sale of materials between the north and the south can be completed by water. At that time, the North Gate closest to the Grand Canal will become the only way for materials to enter and leave the capital. If Miss Sun can do business here, your products will not only be bought by people in the capital, but you can also make money from people outside the capital."

After saying this, Liang Heng leaned back in his chair, his tone confident and determined, "To put it bluntly, in the small piece of land in the capital, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream for Miss Sun to want to become as big as Tianxing Pavilion. Only by expanding your business abroad and making it known throughout the country, can you be on par with Tianxing Pavilion."

Sun Youwei's eyes were moved. She put her hands on her waist and bowed.

"Thank you for your guidance, Pavilion Master Liang. This news is really important to us."

"You're welcome."

Liang Heng spoke in a distant tone, "I'm only telling you this for the sake of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, and you may not be able to do it."

Su Xuqing was speechless. Why was Liang Heng so stubborn and his words were a bit hurtful... Did he hate Sun Youwei so much?

Sun Youwei smiled faintly and didn't feel sad.

"No matter what, I still have to thank Pavilion Master Liang."

Liang Heng was speechless. He had no idea what to do with Sun Youwei. He never thought that one day, a person's gratitude would make him feel so uncomfortable.
