Pushing through the crowd, Princess Chaoyang said sarcastically, "I've been in Zhenbei Palace for so long, but I've never seen you have this ability! Are you trying to fool people?"

Everyone fell silent. They were happy to watch the fight between the two concubines in the Zhenbei Palace.

Shen Lianxin smiled. It seems that Princess Chaoyang is not very smart!

"Princess, you are joking. All the ladies are smart and knowledgeable. They can tell whether something is good or not at a glance. How could they be fooled by me? I come from a village. If I don't have the real stuff, how can I fool you ladies?"

With just one simple sentence, he invisibly elevated everyone else, lowered himself, and pointed out the genuine ingredients of his skin care products.

Everyone nodded, and although they didn't say anything, they agreed in their hearts. After all, they were noble ladies of Kyoto, so how could they be fooled by a village woman? Everyone felt that Shen Lianxin was right, and that they were very smart.

Princess Chaoyang was unable to argue and was furious. "Does the prince know that you are out in the open? Which lady would do business like you? You are tarnishing the general's reputation!"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment! Although this dynasty was very harsh on women, which mistress didn't have some shops and farms to rely on?

This is a very strange dynasty, which values ​​industry, agriculture, and scholars, but despises merchants. However, no matter which dynasty, merchants are the most important. The prosperity of a dynasty means not only that the people have no worries about food and clothing, but also that they are rich and prosperous.

No matter what you want to do, whether it is repairing fortifications, building houses, developing agriculture and industry, or even sending troops to fight, which one can be done without money? But the social atmosphere is to despise gold and silver.

They say that everything is inferior except for studying. They say that merchants have no status. Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the lowest. The more upper-class the circle, the more proud it is of despising money. It seems that the pure stream is noble.

Shen Lianxin felt that this group of people were extremely hypocritical. They all despised money, but they were competing for money everywhere. Who wore better clothes, used better things, lived better. Who had a bigger show when going out, who had more maids and servants to serve, who had more beautiful hairpins and rings, who had more expensive food, and which of these could not be separated from gold and silver?

Sighing, Shen Lianxin spoke quietly, "I am different from the other ladies. I was born in a mountain village, and I don't have a strong family or business to support me like the other ladies. Fortunately, I have some skills inherited from my ancestors. If I don't make good use of them, how can I, with my weak family background, gain a foothold in the general's mansion? Fortunately, the general understands me and lets me do what I want. If I can make some money, I can also help my daughter in the future!"

After hearing what Shen Lianxin said, everyone empathized with her. Many people seemed to be doing well, but in fact, they were having a hard time. Behind closed doors, every family had its own problems!

These are the mistresses of the house. The daily necessities of a family, as well as the social interactions, cannot be worry-free without some money! ! It is basically impossible to live a luxurious life in such a large mansion relying only on the salary of the master.

Without some means, it is hard to say whether the family can balance the income and expenditure. So when Shen Lianxin said this, everyone nodded to show their understanding.

They all have some family property, and the manor and store can collect some money, and some people don't know how to deal with losses. The Zhenbei Palace is also famous in Kyoto for being poor. For someone like Shen Lianxin, who has no foundation, life is indeed not easy.

Such a large garden looks beautiful, but the servants inside and outside, the garden maintenance, the food, drink, defecation and urination of a large courtyard. This is a considerable expense. Gu Dingbei's salary is limited, and the emperor obviously does not like the Zhenbei Palace. He only gives empty titles and is very stingy in giving real money.

Seeing that everyone sympathized with Shen Lianxin, Princess Chaoyang looked unhappy and turned away.

The palace is so big and it is Shen Lianxin’s first time here. Princess Chaoyang is going to abandon her, and she is afraid that she will get lost in the palace.

Say goodbye to everyone and catch up quickly.

Princess Chaoyang said sarcastically, "You are quite capable and you also know skin care? Why haven't I heard you talk about it before?"

Shen Lianxin smiled and said nothing.

"I'm telling you, if you don't have the real ability, don't try to be brave. Not to mention the Queen, even if you offend any of these ladies, you can't afford it! Stop as soon as possible before things get out of hand. Just say you're bragging and let them laugh at you for a while."

Shen Lianxin raised her eyebrows and smiled without saying anything. Seeing her expression, Princess Chaoyang became even angrier.

"I'm doing this for your own good. After all, we're all members of the General's Mansion, and I don't want you to get into trouble! You'll have to cover for me when the time comes!"

Shen Lianxin nodded, "Got it!"

This statement might be sincere. After all, to some extent, they are already a family. If Shen Lianxin really makes a big mess, she will also be in trouble.

Seeing Shen Lianxin's answer, Princess Chaoyang stopped talking. She felt a little guilty. If she hadn't let people embarrass her, she wouldn't have boasted so much in public.

The two returned to the general's mansion. Gu Dingbei had not returned yet, so Shen Lianxin went back to her room and took out the land deed given by the old princess.

Select some industries in Kyoto. There are actually a few good shops.

They were dealing in grain and cloth, and the business was average. Although they were not losing money, the revenue was clearly not worthy of the city of Kyoto.

If the property is not your own, it would be hard to say whether you are making a loss or a profit after taking into account the rent.

Shen Lianxin selected several shops. Now that she was in Kyoto, she couldn't waste this great opportunity.

She chose the largest and best shop as the business location for Yueyan Pavilion. This shop has two floors and was originally a cloth shop. Business was not very good, so Shen Lianxin planned to renovate it and turn it into a beauty shop. The first floor sells some skin care products and cosmetics, and the second floor is used as a VIP area, selling some big brands and products for wealthy women.

She chose another one as a jewelry store. The silver jewelry in Shen Lianxin Space Mall was so cheap, how could she not take advantage of it!

Moreover, the craftsmanship of many modern commodities is better than that of Yingchao. In addition to some gold and silver jewelry, pearl hairpins and rings, they also sell some handicrafts, such as glass cups, glass vases, teapots, etc.

These things are worthless in modern times, but they are high-end products in this dynasty. Only some noble families such as marquises and princes can use them.

This is all huge profit!

Shen Lianxin picked out another shop with a good location and prepared to continue her Shen's BBQ. She wrote a letter to Yuncheng, asking Yunniang and Baizhi to come to Kyoto to open a branch of Shen's BBQ.

With this arrangement, Shen Lianxin will also want to share a piece of Kyoto's wealth! !

Shen Lianxin carefully prepared a plan, detailing how each store would be decorated, what systems to use, and how to allocate personnel.

After being busy until the evening, Shen Lianxin asked Leng Feng to deliver letters to the owners of these shops, preparing to meet them the next day.

No matter how many ideas you have, they are not as good as action. After the ideas mature, Shen Lianxin is ready to put them into practice. Only by overcoming difficulties and riding the wind and waves in action can you move forward.

Just as I was thinking about it, Gu Dingbei finally came back, and he didn't look very good...
