first princess

Chapter 211 Intense Business War (5)
"Miss, Happy New Year." Zhi Fan also saluted with a smile, and then Mama Zhong and Ye Maogang came in with hot water.Shui Linglong hugged her elder brother, and scanned every corner of the room with her smiling eyes, nothing really changed, but it really seemed that something was missing.After breakfast, Shui Linglong called Xiao Qiuyan to play with her sister and brother, while she took the blueprints to Qingyouyuan.

In the quiet courtyard, Leng Youru and Brother Hao had dinner around a small round table. Brother Hao was five years old, and Leng Youru adjusted his diet a little, adding one more grain and meat.Today's breakfast is chicken porridge with mushrooms, corn omelette, shrimp tofu, stir-fried cabbage, steamed sweet potatoes, donkey meat in marinated water, buttered steamed buns, green onion rolls, and a small glass of goat milk suggested by Shui Linglong.Brother Hao seriously ate the breakfast that Leng Youru gave him, and at the end, he finished the goat's milk, leaving a circle of white froth around his lips.

Leng Youru smiled lightly, took out a handkerchief and wiped his lips: "I don't have to go to school today, Cen'er will take you to play in your great-grandmother's yard for a while."

Brother Hao's eyes darkened, obviously unhappy.Leng Youru tightened the buttons on his chest, and said lightly: "It's not that I won't pick you up and come back. Your great-grandmother is getting old and needs someone to accompany you. Don't you like sweets? I'm not here, so no one cares about you." .”

Brother Hao frowned, becoming even more unhappy!Leng Youru took the small cloak for him to put on again, and called Cen'er: "Send Biaozi to Tiananju."

Brother Hao looked at Leng Youru eagerly, but Leng Youru picked up the ledger and started to settle the accounts.Cen'er led Brother Hao out, and not long after, Shui Linglong and Mu Hua came one after the other.

"Mother and Concubine, Happy New Year!" The two saluted Leng Youru, Leng Youru smiled slightly, and pointed to the chair opposite: "Happy New Year, let's all sit down."

"Thank you, Mother." The two sat down on carved sandalwood chairs, with a small square table in the middle that was level with the armrests, and the maid served hot tea.

Leng Youru cut to the chase and said, "In two days, all the shops in the capital will be open for business. Do you have any good suggestions?" His eyes turned to the scrolls in their hands.

Shui Linglong and Mu Hua also noticed each other's things, but it was Mu Hua who spoke first: "I want to hear my sister-in-law's opinion."

Shui Linglong nodded with a smile, and said, "My idea is to build a pedestrian street."

Mu Huanong raised his eyebrows, and Shui Linglong said again: "Li Jing's management model and industry category are very novel and unique, and we won't be able to train so many professionals in a while. Since we can't compare with him in terms of service and innovation, we will create' Convenience' advantage."

"Pedestrian street? I've never heard of this. Could it be that you can only walk and no cars are allowed?" Leng Youru asked Shui Linglong with doubts.

Shui Linglong nodded, and learned this trick from Xun Feng: "I've decided which street to buy, and it's on Nan'er Road. There are 58 shops in Nan'er Road, and our Zhuge's has 34 of them. If we buy the remaining 24 rooms, this street will be ours."

Mu Hua's thick eyebrows raised again!Leng Youru didn't notice Mu Hua's strangeness, and only asked Shui Linglong: "Then, will Li Jing also buy a street shop to fight against us?"

Shui Linglong said confidently: "In terms of location, there is no place in the capital that compares to Naner Road." Spreading the blueprint on the table next to Leng Youru, "Look, concubine, from the east end of Naner Road To the west, there are snack bars, restaurants, silk and satin houses, embroidery houses..."

Looking at the well-organized architectural drawings and listening to Shui Linglong's methodical explanation, Leng Youru's eyes brightened. After thinking about it, she asked Mu Hua: "What about you? What do you think?"

Mu Hua also spread out the blueprints, the plans inside are similar to Shui Linglong's, it's hard to tell which one is better.Leng Youru laughed: "What a coincidence, you actually thought of going together."

Mu Hua looked at Shui Linglong approvingly. He didn't take a closer look at it before. Mu Hua didn't think Shui Linglong's appearance was so attractive, but now he took a closer look and realized that she seemed...really beautiful.Mu Hua's heartbeat suddenly accelerated: "Well, that...how...how should I put it? It's not very similar, I don't agree with buying a shop."

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows: "If you don't want to buy a shop, what are you doing drawing these architectural drawings?"

Mu Hua said: "Buy the street! We buy the street, decorate the appearance of the shops on the street according to a unified style, and then rent out the outside. What we earn is the rent. It is the merchant's business to make money or lose money. We do not bear any responsibility. Risk. Of course, in order to ensure sufficient source of customers, we must adopt a series of publicity methods..."

Three days later, the Beijing First Street project was officially launched.Six construction teams worked overnight, and all the decoration and construction were completed by the end of January.Shui Linglong invited the three princesses to personally write the plaque of "The First Street of the Capital" and hang it high on the majestic gate.The management of the First Street was entrusted to Mu Hua. Mu Hua was busy with his work, and started the business of the First Street bit by bit.In order to facilitate Mu Hua's work, Leng Youru specially built an external study for him near the flower hall, and he personally reviewed and kept all the accounts and planning plans of the first street.

Zhi Fan curled her lips when she heard the words: "Miss, it's not that the servants are thinking wildly. The princess thinks so highly of you, what if you abscond with the money? Then the Zhuge family will be completely paralyzed!"

Shui Linglong drank the tea in her hand slowly: "Didn't you see that the princess follows a small tail everywhere? The princess has pinpointed Mu Hua's lifeline, so she is relieved to leave everything to Mu Hua. Mu Hua really wants to donate money and abscond, Unless he doesn't want his son."

March No. 30, quarterly settlement, account books one after another were continuously sent to the study outside. Mu Hua counted from early morning to dusk without even eating a bite.Just when he was about to fill his stomach first, something went wrong at the pharmacy again, so he hurried into the carriage in the mansion without thinking about eating.

After Leng Youru and Shui Linglong heard the news, they went to the outer study to help. When they arrived at the outer study, they found that Qiao Hui had also come.

Qiao Hui smiled gently: "I think the second brother-in-law seems to be quite busy these days, so I'll come over to see if I can do a little bit."

Leng Youru nodded: "Come in!"

Qiao Hui took Shui Linglong's hand and walked into the study with her.Brother Hao also came with him. He sat obediently next to Leng Youru and played Rubik's Cube. Although he had changed a lot in the past half a year, he still refused to speak, and his initial fear of Shui Linglong also grew with time. As the time passed, he treated Shui Linglong no differently from Qiao Hui.

Seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood today, Shui Linglong asked him in a low voice while everyone was not paying attention: "Brother Hao, let me ask you, did you see me before you entered the mansion? Um, or my portrait?"

Brother Hao thought about it seriously, then shook his head.

Have you seen this or don't remember?Shui Linglong sighed secretly, opened an account book casually, and made some calculations.Leng Youru and Qiao Hui also joined her, and soon, the sound of abacus beads bumping back and forth was heard in the room.

Time passed bit by bit, and the moon was on the branches in a blink of an eye.Brother Hao yawned, a little tired, took a look at Leng Youru, who was concentrating on it, and went to the yard to play on the swing without saying a word. The son agreed, and ran out after Hao Geer.

Shui Linglong kept her head down and didn't notice this episode, but Qiao Hui stopped the abacus in her hand and looked at Leng Youru, then at the swaying curtain at the door, she always felt...the princess was a little different from her impression.

After calculating all the accounts, the three women looked at each other and smiled, feeling like they were winning the battle hand in hand.

Qiao Hui couldn't help but praised: "Second brother-in-law is really amazing. The business in the shop has fallen like that, and he has a way to turn things around. My mother and the eldest princess have also been to the first street in the world, and they are full of praise!"

There is no water in these words. Who in the capital doesn't know the No. [-] Street in the World, who doesn't know Mu Hua?There is nothing left of the limelight that Li Jing earned years ago, and now everyone in the streets and alleys is talking about this new generation of business geniuses.

Shui Linglong also showed admiring eyes: "Yes, there is no choice in what to do. If you are willing to fight hard, Li Jing doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want to." A capable person who competes with fighting spirit.

Leng Youru's eyes also overflowed with a hint of a smile, and she arranged the account books neatly, even the corners of the book were neatly arranged page by page: "How is Xiao Yu?"

Shui Linglong said warmly: "The enemy has been forced out of the territory of Dazhou, whether we want to take advantage of the victory and pursue it depends on the emperor's will."

Leng Youru smiled with satisfaction: "It's all good."

But at this moment, Brother Hao rushed in sweating profusely from playing, just in time to hear Leng Youru's last sentence, he stood beside Leng Youru, staring at her blankly.Leng Youru patted his head: "You are also good." Brother Hao blushed, and ran out of the room in a hurry!The three women couldn't help laughing as they looked at me and you.
