Chapter 7 Small Tea House
It has been more than ten days since she arrived in Beijing, and Changping has never been idle every day. It seems that there are many things that need to be busy. Nowadays, although she does not experience everything, she also has to ask questions. Nowadays, many of these shops are her painstaking efforts, which are not as worry-free as before.
This is an attic of about three floors. Changping came down from the carriage, looked at the three words of the small tea shop at the door, smiled and shook her head amusingly. This was the name she had thought about for a few days. It used to be a little elegant name, but she always felt a little inappropriate, so she casually called it like this.
The attic is hollow and far away, with elegant seats, sometimes separated by light yarns. In the center, there is a small stage, which is exquisite and elegant.
"Miss? What do you think?" Anu walked beside Changping and said with a smile, "Is there anything inappropriate?"
"No, that's good." Changping nodded and said, "The lady can play here in the future." Changping patted the table in the center, but it was made of a big drum. Changping patted it with his fingers, nodded and said, "Very good."
"It can be so fast, thanks to Princess Anhua." Anu smiled and said, "If it hadn't been for Princess Anhua, I wouldn't have finished it so quickly."
Changping nodded and said, "Well, I see." Changping knew in his heart that Princess Anhua should have received a notice of repair. Otherwise, how could a princess help herself so much? "Let's send a post to visit the princess another day." Changping tilted his head, looked at Yan Cui, and said with a smile, "You can arrange it."
"Yes." Yan Cui answered and said, "The maidservant will arrange it."
After reading this place, Changping nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look somewhere else." With that, Changping took the lead out of the small tea shop, got into a carriage, and went straight to a powder shop in the city.
This fragrant powder shop is not only selling spices. Women's boudoir supplies are all available here. Yongcheng has ores, and those jewelry and diamonds are always difficult to refuse after polishing and carving.
When Changping walked into the shop, several noble women were looking at the side. Changping looked at it from afar and only heard the women inside say something with a smile. Changping smiled. Her shop was not only a boy, but also a few women who were poor at home. As long as they were given a meal, they were unrestrained by anything.
That's fine, so that those ladies don't have any pimples in their hearts.
When the shopkeeper saw Changping coming in, he quickly stepped forward and smiled, "Miss is here? Inside, please."
Changping asked with a smile and looked around, but there was no problem. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. It's rare to have such a scale in only more than a year." Changping smiled and said, "If anything happens, just send someone directly to Xicheng Yunfu."
"Yes, it's all saved." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Changping did not stay much, and the half-day passed. She was also a little tired, so she resigned. When she walked out of the shop, Changping was satisfied. Anyway, she has already got what she wanted.
"Ping'er..." The sudden surprised voice made Changping turn around and saw He Ziwen look at him in shock and said, "Why are you... here?"
"Lord He." He nodded to him faintly, like a stranger.
"Lord He?" He Ziwen raised his eyebrows, looked at her sarcastically and said, "Why, I haven't seen her for a few years, but is it so strange?"
Changping frowned slightly. What on earth did He Ziwen mean? In those years, he didn't miss the old feelings and said that. Does he still want to meet him with a smile? Even if she is too shameless, she can't treat the past as if nothing happened.
"Mother! Mother!!"
Changping's face changed slightly. He looked at He Ziwen and said, "If Lord He has nothing to do, I will leave first."
"Mother hug~~" He Nian Xiaobaozi stretched out his arms and twisted around in Anu's arms. His long flat look was suspended. He took the child from Anu's hand, pinched the tip of his little nose and smiled and said, "Where did he come back from? Why are you sweating so hard?"
"Who is he!" He Ziwen pulled Changping's arm with an ugly face and said, "Whose child is this!"
"Lord He." Changping raised his eyebrows, shook off his hand, and smiled, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Lord He." He ignored him and went straight to the carriage and left.
Changping leaned in front of the car window and felt a little uncomfortable. At this time, it was really innocent and thorough to ask her such words. Changping shook his head with a wry smile. Now he is really stupid in his heart like this, shaking his head and throwing all these bad things out.
Now she can almost say that she has straightened out everything. What she has to do now is to get back what she deserves, which is actually not simple.
However, the opening of the small tea shop can really have a fatal blow to the Su family's business.
On this day, Changping was eating with He Nian's child in his arms. The housekeeper handed in the post. Changping looked at their famous posts, smiled and said, "It's really rare today." At this time, it was He Ziwen and Su Yu's famous posts in his hand.
Today, her power in Beijing is different from the past, with the support of Princess Anhua behind her, so Changping's business is also smooth sailing.
In the past, Changping had intervened a lot, but now it was easy for her to do something. Although those shops were closed down, they all fell into Ji Nan's hands in the end. It is impossible for the royal family to interfere too much in the business.
As long as you pay enough taxes, whose shop is, it is not so important at all. What's more, if there are many things in the court today, how can you care about the intrigue between merchants? If today's court suppresses merchants, its power is low, and it boasts that it is superior. It is the most embarrassing. How can you do something to compete with the people? What about love?
Oh, just this is the point, Changping feels happy in his heart.
"Miss, look, the two masters outside..." The housekeeper was covered with sweat, bowed his body to wipe his forehead, and asked, "Miss, have you seen it?"
"They..." Changping pointed against his jaw, blinked his eyes and said, "Just say that I'm out for something."
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate." The housekeeper wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "I'm afraid the two masters came only after seeing the young lady enter the house."
"Mom~~ Is this the uncle I saw the other day?" He Nian took the small spoon out of his mouth, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said, "Why didn't my mother see them?" The little guy frowned and said, "Well, mother, don't see him."
Huh? Why did Nian'er say that? Changping moved, picked him up and said, "Don't you like that uncle?"
"Hmm." He Nian pouted, nodded heavily, and said in a milky voice, "Nianer doesn't like it! He is fierce to Nian'er! So Nian'er doesn't like it!" With that, the little guy jumped into Changping's arms aggrievedly and muttered, "Nian'er likes the prince's uncle~"
Changping picked up the little guy and said happily, "Well, Nian'er doesn't like us, okay?"
"Hmm!" The little guy smiled with bent eyes and said, "Nian'er likes her mother the most!"
"So, what does Nian'er like about her mother?" Changping motioned to the housekeeper, looked at his son's forehead, and asked with a smile, "Is it okay for the baby to tell his mother?"
Unexpectedly, the little guy tried his best to hold on his fat little face and said righteously, "Nian'er, when you grow up, you can't call a baby."
Huh? Who said this? Changping kissed his cheek and said, "But in my mother's mind, Nian'er is my mother's baby~~ Don't you want to be your mother's baby?"
"No, the mother's baby can only be a child!" The little guy suddenly became anxious and hurriedly pulled Changping and said, "My mother only has a baby!"
"Good, good." Changping pinched the tip of the little guy's nose and smiled, "Listen to the baby."
"You can't go in!" The sound in the distance made Changping frown and saw the two directly break in. Most of the houses were the old people around Changping. They all knew the identities of He Ziwen and Su Yu, and they didn't dare to do anything in the nursing home, so they broke in.
Changping also understood in his heart. He picked up the baby, went out, raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you doing?" He glanced at the two people sarcastically and said, "It's really impressive to break in with such a big fanfare." After signaling everyone in the yard to leave, Changping handed He Nian to Anu, kissed the little guy with a smile, and said, "Good boy, go to the backyard to play, and your mother will accompany you later."
He Nian's eyebrows are very similar to Changping's. Although he is raised now, he is also really cute. He Ziwen's eyes are a little red when he looks at the little guy. The child looks two or three years old. This time is really extremely delicate and he can't think too much about it.
Changping frowned and said directly, "Please come in." After the two entered the hall and Yanni made tea for them, she stood behind Changping.
"What's the matter when you come here today?" Chang Ping glanced at the two and asked directly. Although she had understood in her heart that Su Yu should be for the affairs of the small tea shop, but He Ziwen should be for the baby. Looking at He Ziwen, Changping felt a little cold in his heart, hooked the corners of his mouth, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Did he recognize his dark face? Is it someone else's seed for this child?
Oh, that's ridiculous. Changping knows that He Ziwen's back house is not very peaceful now. His family is weak and it is difficult to support his children. Now he has no children alive for three years!
There are many meanings in this. Changping lowered his eyes, Sister Lan... After all, the child was not supported, which was a pity.
