The princess is above: the power minister's palm favor

Chapter 91 Doing Business

As soon as Li Huang returned to the eldest princess's mansion, Mu Feng came to report: "Your Highness, our people have sent a letter saying that His Royal Highness has bypassed Jinzhou and left Yuzhou."

Li Huang nodded: "Let them be more vigilant, even if they take a detour, they must be on guard against someone revealing their itinerary."

Mu Feng responded and withdrew.

At this moment, the porter hurried in and handed over a post: "Your Highness, Mrs. Xu invites you to drink tea and listen to an opera together."

Li Huang took it over and took a look, then said: "The person who responded to me said that I agreed."

Ling Yuan took off the cloak for Li Huang, brewed a pot of tea, and asked: "Your Highness, what is the meaning of Mrs. Xu's invitation to drink tea at this time?"

The intersection between them was nothing more than a meeting at the auction banquet, plus a meal at the Ruyi Building, it would not be possible, so Mrs. Xu still wants to be friends with her highness?
Li Huang shook her head: "Madam Xu is a smart person, she will not invite you for no reason, let's go and have a look tomorrow and find out."

But even if the other party has a heart-to-heart relationship, it doesn't matter.

She has a good impression of the wife of the richest man in Jiangnan.

At noon of the next day, Li Huang came to Xishui Building in a carriage, and was led by the staff to the private room on the second floor.

Mrs. Xu had been waiting there early in the morning, and when she saw her coming, she immediately got up to greet her: "See the Eldest Princess."

Li Huang raised his hand to help: "Mrs. Xu doesn't need to be polite, but I don't know what's the matter with the special invitation today?"

She sat down opposite Mrs. Xu, and looked at her quietly with her black eyes. If the other person opened her mouth to ask her, then she would have to re-examine this person.

Meeting her gaze, Mrs. Xu didn't dodge: "The woman wants to have a deal in her hand, and wants to do it with the eldest princess. I wonder if the eldest princess is interested?"

Li Huang raised her eyebrows, and asked with great interest: "What kind of business does Madam want? Why don't you find someone else, but come to me?"

Mrs. Xu looked frank: "The woman is a businessman, so naturally she won't do such pointless things."

There was a set of tea making utensils on the table, and she crushed the tea skillfully, sifted it, and then started to brew the tea.

The whole set of movements is smooth and smooth, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Li Huang curled her lips: "I didn't expect Mrs. Xu to be a master of the tea ceremony. This technique is much more skillful than the maids around me."

Ling Yuan, who was named, turned her face away in embarrassment.

Mrs. Xu smiled gently: "It's all for playing around in your spare time. If the princess's maid is willing, the women can teach her."

She is not modest about her craft.

At this time, the water boiled, Mrs. Xu put the tea foam into the boiling water, stirred it carefully for a while, then took the first spoonful with a long spoon to stop the boiling.

A scent of tea permeated the entire private room in an instant.

Li Huang took a deep breath and said, "This tea doesn't smell like the one used by Xishuilou to entertain guests. It must be the good tea Madam specially brought from Jiangnan, right?"

Before she drank it, she already felt the aroma was refreshing.

Mrs. Xu poured her a cup first: "You can't hide anything from the eldest princess, that's why the women invited the eldest princess to listen to the opera and drink tea."

"This tea was indeed brought over by women from the south of the Yangtze River, and they also hoped to spread the tea ceremony in the capital."

"Eldest Princess is also a tea lover, so she wouldn't refuse such a business even if she thought about it, would she?"

Li Huang took a sip while it was hot, the tea soup melted in his mouth, leaving a fragrance between his teeth.

"That's right, it's good tea, even compared to those teas that were paid tribute to the palace, it's not bad."

"It's just such good tea, what price does Mrs. Xu plan to sell in the capital? How can I help you?"

It can't be worth a hundred times because of the tea she reviewed, right?
However, Mrs. Xu said something surprising: "The eldest princess misunderstood, the women's purpose is not to sell tea, but to open a tea house that is enough for the ladies of the capital to have fun."

"The store only accepts female customers, not male customers. Moreover, this tea can only be drunk in our store and cannot be taken away."

Li Huang and Ling Yuan were both surprised, and after looking at each other, Li Huang said: "Madam, this idea is quite fresh, the tea seller won't let you take the tea away."

Don't say she hasn't heard of it, even those old tea drinkers who traveled all over the world, I'm afraid they haven't heard of it either.

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "The folk woman had this idea earlier when she was in Jiangnan, but it's a pity that her family doesn't support it."

"That's why the women want to invite the eldest princess to open such a teahouse."

Li Huang looked at her fixedly, and asked with a smile: "Madam can easily take out 30 taels of silver, so it is not difficult to open a teahouse by yourself, but I still don't understand, why do you insist on recruiting me? "

Mrs. Xu was silent for a moment when she heard the words, and then slowly opened her mouth: "If you say it, the housewife is not afraid of the eldest princess' jokes. The housewife and husband are making peace."

"The men of Xu's family believe that running a business is a man's business, and women should hide in the backyard to care for their husbands and teach their children."

"But our people in Dayuan are civilized, and there is no rule that women cannot do business. What's more, women don't think that they are inferior to them."

"But the Xu family can have today, and the advice and suggestions of the women are indispensable behind it."

"The women are really tired of their tricks, so they came to the capital alone, but the Xu family won't just watch."

"The eldest princess dared to wield the sword of wisdom to cut the thread of love, which made the women admire very much. The women felt that there would be no one more suitable than the eldest princess."

Li Huang finally understood that Mrs. Xu in front of her was challenging the rules of the entire Xu family by herself.

As a woman, she came to the capital alone to do business, and there would be many people who would trip her up. She needed the protection of the rich and powerful.

And looking at the entire capital, if you want to find someone who can accept her shocking ideas, there is indeed no one else except Li Huang.

"Since Mrs. Xu is so honest, then I will agree." Li Huang looked at her, and the little precepts towards her were gone, "I just don't know how Madam plans to cooperate?"

Mrs. Xu was overjoyed when she heard the words, and said quickly: "Actually, there is no need for the eldest princess to do anything. The eldest princess just needs to be a name in the small shop. The women will give you [-]% of the bonus every year. What do you think?"

Li Huang raised her eyebrows: "With such a good thing, you don't have to do anything, and you can get [-]% of it every year?"

Mrs. Xu quickly added a cup of tea for her, and said: "In business, women will not do business at a loss. If the eldest princess is named as the owner, if the Xu family wants to make trouble in the future, they will naturally have to be cautious." .”

"Furthermore, the teahouses run by women only cater to female customers. If the name of the eldest princess can be used, it will somewhat protect the reputation of the small shop."

"If you hang out on the streets, you still need to pay protection fees, not to mention the protection of the eldest princess."

"Not only can I get the protection of the eldest princess, but I can also solicit business in the name of the eldest princess. The women feel that the [-]% bonus is well spent."

Li Huang was a little stunned by what she said so bluntly.

"I really like people like Mrs. Xu." Li Huang took a sip of tea and asked, "I don't know if the girls who make tea will have the skills of Mrs. Xu after the teahouse opens?"

Since you can only come to the store to drink, it is naturally a unique craftsmanship.

Mrs. Xu nodded: "Women also have some close friends in the south of the Yangtze River. When I took down the Ruyi Building, I wrote to them and asked them to come to the capital to help me."

"Princess, don't worry, their skills are only above the common women, not inferior to the common women."

Li Huang nodded after hearing the words: "If that's the case, I can rest assured. It's getting late, and I should go back."

The play downstairs was almost finished, and some people got up and went out one after another.

Mrs. Xu sent people to the carriage, then turned back and settled the bill.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and Ling Yuan asked: "Your Highness, Mrs. Xu must be in serious trouble, otherwise I wouldn't be able to give you the [-]% bonus in vain, why did you agree?"

Li Huang hooked her lips playfully: "No matter how troublesome it is, can anyone dare to mess with me?"

While the master and servant were talking, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Mu Feng said: "Your Highness, there are suddenly many people looting in front of you, blocking the road."

Ling Yuan opened the curtain and took a look outside, and said in surprise: "Your Highness, there are a lot of copper coins on the ground, and they are all robbing money!"
