The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Shopkeeper Song is about the same age as my grandmother. Most of his hair is white. He has gained some weight due to his age and starts sweating before midsummer.

In the past, he would fan himself, or the waiter would help him fan when he was not busy.

The young lady was here today, and he was dressed neatly and formally, and it was inappropriate to fan himself with a fan, which would have been indecent, so he had to use a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his head.

Seeing how hard he was working, Gu Jinchu ordered Tao Yuanzheng to open all the windows in the house and let Shopkeeper Song sit by the window and have some tea. Shopkeeper Song was naturally grateful.

Zheng wanted to train her daughter, and this was the first time she came to the shop alone.

It's not like Shopkeeper Song has never had contact with the eldest daughter before. He always thought she was arrogant and willful. But from the few brief words just now, he knew that the boss must have given instructions at home and he regarded it as a test from Zheng.

I answer every question and never be negligent in my attitude.

"Miss, you may not know that a couple of years ago a Baozhu Pavilion opened up on the street next door. It's like they're competing with our Zhenbao Pavilion. They sell the same things we sell, but they're not to the point of hurting each other."

After saying this, Shopkeeper Song lowered his head and took another sip of tea, then continued:

"Half a month ago, they got a batch of silk from somewhere, and the price they sold was even lower than our purchase price, so they took away our business."

Gu Jinchu's face didn't change when he heard it. He looked at Tao Yuanzheng and asked, "What do you think?"

Tao Yuanzheng stood there with his head down, thinking for a while, then raised his head and smiled, "If it's lower than our purchase price, why sell it? Give it away! If we don't sell it, just give it away!"

When Shopkeeper Song heard this, he clapped his hands as big as a palm leaf fan and opened his eyes wide, "Give it away? Do you know how much the purchase price of that piece of silk is? Outsiders think that the Treasure Pavilion has high sales, but we make little profit!"

"My boss is kind and righteous. My embroiderer's monthly salary is higher than that of her peers. You..." He rolled his eyes and asked, "My nephew, how do you want to send me off?"

Tao Yuanzheng stood in front of Gu Jinchu and bowed, "It depends on our young lady to save herself..."

After discussing a rough solution, Tao Yuanzheng withdrew. Gu Jinchu looked at Shopkeeper Song and asked, "How is it? Are you satisfied with Tao Yuanzheng after meeting him?"

Shopkeeper Song smiled like Maitreya Buddha, "This kid has the integrity of Shopkeeper Tao, but with a lot more tricks."

Gu Jinchu smiled, knowing that this was a very pertinent answer from Shopkeeper Song.

"Manager Song, starting tomorrow, prepare ice buckets and windmill fans in the Treasure Pavilion. The herbal tea prepared for the nobles is no longer necessary."

Shopkeeper Song thinks this is a good idea, but it will increase the cost a lot, and herbal tea is available every summer these years...

"Herbal tea can only quench your thirst temporarily. The cool shopping environment can make people feel happier. Once you come here, you won't want to go out. Do you still worry that the wallets of the nobles will not be empty?" Gu Jinchu smiled mysteriously.

At this time in the previous life, low-priced silk had not yet appeared, nor did she know how to do double-sided embroidery, let alone the Treasure Pavilion's almost monopolistic status.

The shopkeeper of Baozhu Pavilion is the eldest sister Gu Jinxuan's man. She is in charge of the business, while the real money is invested by Zhou and Aunt Lian.

There is no innovation and they just follow the trend of Zhenbao Pavilion.

The materials used in Zhenbao Pavilion are of the highest quality, and its customer base consists of high-ranking officials and dignitaries from Shuntian Prefecture.

Baozhu Pavilion’s prices are much more affordable, and the two shops target different groups of people, so this balance has not been broken.

After the Gu family was wiped out in the previous life, Gu Jinchu found out who the boss behind Baozhu Pavilion was, but she didn't know who provided them with the supply.

As they were talking, someone outside came in and said, "Miss, someone is looking for you."

Bai Zhi came in from outside and whispered in Gu Jinchu's ear, and Gu Jinchu's eyes lit up.

Isn't this like someone bringing you a pillow when you're sleepy?

"Hurry up and welcome the young master in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain on the door was lifted, and a handsome young man walked in. It must be Zhao Xuan.

Gu Jinchu smiled and went to greet him, bowing and saying, "Mr. Zhao, your presence is a great honor to our Treasure Pavilion."

She raised her hand to let Manager Song and Tao Yuanzheng go, leaving Bai Zhi alone to serve them.

Tao Yuanzheng walked to the door, bent down and asked without raising his head: "Miss, I wonder what kind of tea and snacks can I serve you and this young master?"

Zhao Xuan was very satisfied with the waiter's address. She stood by the window, fanning herself and laughing happily.

When Gu Jinchu saw the young man next to her, who looked like a eunuch or a guard, he said, "Go buy some fresh fruits."

Seeing that everyone had left, Zhao Xuan sat down on a chair and said, "Gu Jinchu, there's no point in being so cautious!"

Gu Jinchu lowered his eyes and smiled. The scene where the young eunuch used a silver needle to test the poison on Xianxian seemed to have happened yesterday.

"Mr. Zhao, did you only come to the Treasure Pavilion after leaving home?" she asked with a smile.

Zhao Xuan curled her lips and pointed at her mouth without any politeness:

"You're not curious about my outfit at all? You're a person...sometimes innocent, romantic and cute, and sometimes stupid as a pig. You're framed and bullied by your own half-sister, and now you're so boring that it's infuriating!"

Gu Jinchu was not annoyed. Unlike her who was spoiled by her grandmother, the eldest princess was truly a favored daughter of heaven.

His father is the current emperor, his mother is the favored concubine for many years, and his grandfather is the Duke of Dingguo, a founding hero. Although the Duke of Dingguo had handed in the tiger talisman long ago, most of the generals in the army today were once under the command of the old master.

If Zhao Xuan is a prince, then the choice of the crown prince...

Gu Jinchu shuddered in his heart when he thought of this. Criticizing the establishment of a crown prince is a capital crime!

He collected his thoughts and replied, "Mr. Zhao must have left in a hurry. Why don't you let me help you dress up again?"

Zhao Xuan turned around with the fan in her hand, a little confused. "Is there anything wrong with it? I asked the female official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to tailor it for me."

Gu Jinchu didn't dare to say that the female official's craftsmanship was bad, and glanced at the serious attendant beside him.

He pulled Zhao Xuan's back and gestured in front of her chest.

Zhao Xuan understood and raised her eyebrows, "Then let them grow here. I can't leave them in the princess's mansion and then take them out!"

Gu Jinchu covered his mouth and laughed out loud, his eyes seemed to be full of bright stars, and whispered, "Then Mr. Zhao, come with me? I have a way to solve it."
