EBE Chapter 386
Chapter 386
Prince Lanhuai did not pay attention to Huo Yunzhi, nor did he explain the matter of the secondary consort. Instead, he looked at Huo Yunzhi with an impatient face and asked, Did your brother give you anything else?No, my fourth brother only gave me these three things. Huo Yunzhi shook her head. Huo Yunxuan had actually also given her a seal.
Huo Yunxuan had deposited a sum of silver in Rongchang Bank, though he didn't specify the exact amount.
He only said it was money for her protection, and she shouldn't take it out unless absolutely necessary.
Huo Yunzhi felt that the necessary time had not yet come.
Since that is the case, you must find a way to get those two title deeds back yourself. If you cannot get them back, you don't need to come back either! Prince Lanhuai ordered Huo Yunzhi directly.
Your Highness? Huo Yunzhi was stunned. How could she possibly accomplish this?
It was difficult enough for her just to approach the gates of the Cheng family residence nowadays.
How could she have any way to ask the Second Miss of the Cheng family to return the shop she had lost?
Let alone the Qin Pavilion.
Prince Lanhuai turned around, no longer paying attention to Huo Yunzhi.
Secondary Consort Huo, please! Eunuch Wu, who was standing to the side, made a gesture of invitation to Huo Yunzhi.
The Li Family
Li Zhiwei picked up the embroidery pattern stitched by Zhiyi once again, marveling at it.
Zhiyi, your craftsmanship is truly amazing. Li Zhiwei thought that now, with Zhiyi's skills, their Jinhua Hall would definitely flourish.
Miss, if you praise me any more, my tail will fly up to the sky, Zhiyi said with her head bowed, feeling a little embarrassed.
Being recognized by her own young miss made Zhiyi feel very happy.
She also felt very fortunate in her heart. Her current miss was different from her previous master. When the miss saw the patterns she embroidered, she would only praise her endlessly, without a trace of jealousy in her eyes.
Has Zhiyi come up with a new pattern again? At this moment, Wen Xiu, who had just come over, saw the pattern in Li Zhiwei's hand and was also amazed.
After communicating with Wen Xiu these past few days, Li Zhiwei and she hit it off immediately and planned to run the Qin Pavilion together, which had now been renamed Jinhua Hall.
After all, Li Zhiwei discovered that Wen Xiu was also a great treasure. Not only could she make incense, but she could also draw. And no matter what Wen Xiu drew, Zhiyi could embroider it, even creating double-sided embroidery.
Wen Xiu also felt that Li Zhiwei had found a great bargain in finding Zhiyi.
Miss Wen, I have embroidered the painting you drew a couple of days ago, Zhiyi said with her head bowed, feeling a little embarrassed.
Zhiyi, you are incredible, Wen Xiu also smiled and encouraged her.
They all knew that Zhiyi felt inferior because of the birthmark on her face.
They had encouraged her before, but a person's temperament is not formed in a day or two. There would be plenty of time for everything in the future.
I'm not late, am I?
At this moment, a discordant voice rang out.
Hearing this voice, Li Zhiwei and Wen Xiu looked at each other and both smiled.
Who else could the newcomer be but Cheng Qingli.
Jinhua Hall was originally something Li Zhiwei planned to operate in partnership with Wen Xiu, but Cheng Qingli insisted on joining.
In the end, it became a joint venture among the three of them.
However, after these days of hard work by the few of them, Jinhua Hall was no longer the Qin Pavilion of the past.
Watching the Qin Pavilion transform bit by bit into Jinhua Hall, Cheng Qingli felt a profound sense of accomplishment.
Oh, does our Second Miss Cheng have some good news again? Li Zhiwei looked at Cheng Qingli, no longer as guarded as before.
She had to admit that if Cheng Qingli was willing, she could do many things beautifully.
Just like the current jewelry master of Jinhua Hall; it was Cheng Qingli who went to great lengths to invite the retired master Yan Guichi.
One must know that in the past, custom-made jewelry by Master Yan was so sought after that even a single hairpin was hard to come by.
However, now, their Jinhua Hall wouldn't release too many pieces either.
After all, rarity is what makes things precious.
Hehe, naturally there's good news. My sister said she would come and support us when the time comes, Cheng Qingli said proudly.
Is that appropriate? Li Zhiwei said, feeling a bit troubled.
When they open, if Her Majesty the Empress comes, wouldn't they have to clear the place?
This didn't fit their plan. After all, if the place was cleared, other customers wouldn't be able to enter even if they wanted to.
Even if the Empress did business with them, it would be limited.
Moreover, most of their items were targeted at the common people of the capital.
Don't worry, she's only sending Nanny Luo to buy things. She won't come in person, Cheng Qingli quickly said, seeming to see Li Zhiwei's concern.
If that's the case, then there's no problem, Wen Xiu quickly added.
But, when the time comes, are we really going to let those guests taste those delicious pastries for free? When Cheng Qingli thought about preparing pastries for the guests, she felt it was a bit of a loss, simply because those pastries were too delicious.
And those little meatball things, but Li Zhiwei and Wen Xiu wouldn't let her eat them.
She found out about what happened last time later and was extremely embarrassed; she heard it even alarmed the imperial physicians.
It was truly humiliating to the extreme.
In the general area on the first floor, we will only provide tea snacks. In the VIP area on the second floor, we will prepare milk tea. In the customized VIP area on the third floor, we will prepare a variety of different pastries and tea snacks, Li Zhiwei said with a smile.
Do you think anyone will really come to the customized VIP area on the third floor? Cheng Qingli asked hesitantly.
After all, for the customized VIP area, one had to pay silver first and then enter a lottery. Whoever won the lottery would go, and they would only receive one guest a day.
Cheng Qingli was worried about what to do if the shop didn't make money.
Don't worry, with Master Yan here, there will be plenty of people who want to come, Li Zhiwei said very confidently.
Then what is this beauty area you're setting up on the second floor for? Cheng Qingli still felt that it was impossible for those young ladies to come to them to dress up.
Let alone the service on the third floor, which was even better, with something called skincare.
She had never even heard of it.
Hearing this, Li Zhiwei smiled a little embarrassedly. These were things she had seen in another world after she died in her previous life.
She had tried them all, and they were indeed very good.
I actually think that this is quite novel and should be able to attract customers, Wen Xiu said with a smile.
Sister Wen Xiu— Cheng Qingli looked at Wen Xiu, wanting to ask if Wen Zhaonan had written back recently.
Did he say when he would return to the capital?
However, when the words reached her lips, she felt a little embarrassed again.
After all, she was the one secretly harboring a crush on her brother.
Qingli, is there something on your mind? Wen Xiu looked at Cheng Qingli in confusion, not understanding what she couldn't say.
In the end, Cheng Qingli gave up.
She thought to herself that there would be plenty of time in the future. Anyway, if Wen Zhaonan really came back, she would definitely be the first to know.
Sister Li, since your wedding date is approaching, why don't you use the items from our shop to promote us properly? When the time comes, wouldn't the reputation of our Jinhua Hall be established?
Cheng Qingli said, thinking of Li Zhiwei's impending wedding date.
