Chapter 385: The One Who Was the Fourth Miss

ldren in the main house. Why did you follow her this time And even your second brother followed her Did she drug you both Don't you see what the state of our family is Didn't you hear that your grandm...This was the second time Shijia had taken out the shop for Yè Wényán, the first time was the medical clinic, Yè Wényán didn't accept... 。This time, the Madam personally took charge. She felt that no matter what she said, she had to get Ye Wenyan to take over this shop. 。She told Ye Wen, "I know that Miss Four is also familiar with the jewelry pavilion of the Lin family in Neicheng. When Miss Four sent someone to deliver a message last time, she also mentioned that the skilled craftsman was thanks to Mr. Lin's help that he was able to contact the Ying family..." 。It is truly joyful for the Fourth Miss. The skilled artisans of our family are considered the best in Bei Qi. 。

Don't worry, Miss Four. Our Shi family's business doesn't reach the inner city, and the Lin family in the inner city wouldn't bother with businesses in the outer city either. So, the two families don't clash.

Occasionally we receive detailed orders, and we'll go to the inner city to ask Lin Family for help. 。She said this mainly to reassure Ye Wenyan, “You open yours, the Lin family opens theirs, no one will hinder anyone.” 。"Indeed, that's the reasoning," Night Wen said as he nodded his head. 。“Madam Shi was delighted, “Miss Si wants to run a jewelry shop, I've been looking for a few days outside the city, but after searching and searching, I decided it wasn't worth the effort. You can just use this one.” 。We have our own store, why buy someone else's Besides, after buying an empty storefront, you still need to renovate it. It's uncertain when it will open! Look, the weather is warming up, it's the perfect time to wear jewelry. 。After finishing his words, he scrutinized Ye Wenyan once more, a puzzled expression on his face. "Well now, it's almost the 15th of March, how is Miss Fourth still wearing such heavy clothes Is this...are you afraid of the cold"Ye Wenyan wrapped her clothes tighter and let out a breath 。There is no more frost rising with every breath in winter, but the bone-chilling cold still invades her at every moment. 。It's almost March 15th already! I've been so busy lately, I almost forgot about it. 。“I'm afraid of the cold. Ever since I came back from the suburbs on the second day of the twelfth lunar month, I've had this problem.” 。It's alright, take your time to recover, everything will be fine. 。She told her wife, “If we can manage to get back to normal after the summer solstice, otherwise when summer arrives I'll still have to be wrapped up so tightly, people on the street will think of me as a monster.” 。"Upon hearing this, Madam Shi was filled with concern and almost rushed into Ye Wenyan's arms to cry. 。Even without crying, she stomped her feet and cursed, hurling insults at the red makeup of the night, and even at that damned Sixth Prince. 。 The maid was so frightened that her face turned pale. She kept reminding her mistress to keep her voice down, but the more she reminded her, the angrier Mrs. Fu became. "What do you mean by lowering my voice Why should I lower my voice They kill people openly and grab brides blatantly. Should I be quiet when I scold them Who gave them the audacity What does the Sixth Prince have to do with it I don't care about his title! He bullies Miss Four, that's all there is to it! Even if he wasn't here today, even if he stood right in front of me, I would dare to scold him and his eight generations of ancestors!" The little maid covered her face and silently prayed in her heart that these words wouldn't be heard by anyone with ill intentions, or they would be doomed. 。But Mrs. Fu wasn't really afraid. She knew who Ye Wenyan was and what he was capable of. Besides, even if he wasn't that important, Ye Wenyan was still her husband's savior after all. 。A debt of gratitude greater than heaven, she would give up anything for it. 。Ye Wen listened to the laughter and followed suit. She even patted the young maid's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Madam Shi is right to scold you like that. I've scolded her many times too, it's nothing." 。"

Seeing the way Ye Wen looked around the jewelry shop again, Madam Shi hurriedly steered the conversation back on track: “Fourth Miss, this time you absolutely can’t refuse. And please don’t even think about teaming up with our Shi family to do business anymore." 。This business, our family will absolutely not be involved in. We can't always just split the money with you evenly. Our family already owes you a life, and we've taken so many pills from you. 。To be honest, we all know deep down that this shop wouldn't even cover the cost of your pills, so please, don't hold back with us this time. 。 "

The shopkeeper at the shop brought over the account book, and Mrs. Shi flipped through it for a while before showing it to her. “Look, this shop is actually just larger in scale, it doesn't make much money. After all, our family mainly operates the inn and restaurant, not jewelry,” 。Jewelry stores and medical clinics, these kinds of things, are just opened out of convenience. They're really not necessary. 。So take it! The bed is brand new, renovated last year, ready to use. 。But listen, none of the guys in my shop will be available to you. We're short-staffed here, and if you need help, you'll have to find it yourself. Don't even think about using our staff. 。"Her words were solemn, Ye Wenyan turned his head to look at her, a smile on his face. 。She knew it wasn't about the lack of staff, but about the Shi family wanting to give her peace of mind. They wanted to give her a shop that was entirely hers, not even a single clerk, all staffed with people she trusted. 。She said sincerely, "Thank you" 。“ Mrs. Shi was a little embarrassed, “You don't need to thank me, it's what I should do.” 。My whole family likes you. Even if it weren't for that person, I would still fight for my son. 。"Which, which one" Ye Wenyan suddenly stammered a little. 。

But Shi's Madam winked at her, "That someone! Oh, never mind. Anyway, I'm leaving this shop to you. Here's the deed, keep it safe. I've already gone to the yamen and everything about the Shi family is done, you just need to go and change the name and register it.

"She sighed as she spoke, "It's really easier when you have someone higher up looking out for you! Ever since your family and the Fourth Miss opened the Shixuan Medical Hall together, even the officials in Lin'an Prefecture, who used to barely acknowledge merchants from outside the city, are now polite to our family. No matter what we do, we get special treatment from the Prefect." 。"All of this is thanks to the Fourth Miss!" Night Wenyan took the deed in his hand, folded it a few times and put it into his sleeve. 。But it was actually sent to the storage space. 。Then I won't stand on ceremony with Mrs. Shi, anyway we'll be seeing each other often in the future. It would be insincere of me to be too polite. 。“ That’s right! We’re all family, there’s no need to be polite. I’ll have people get things ready for them and bring them back to the Shi family home with me. Then you can take care of things here, Fourth Miss.” 。Mrs. Shi not only had a cheerful personality but also a quick-tempered and impulsive one. Once she decided to do something, she would just go for it. Before Ye Wen could even nod in agreement, she had already taken her maid to instruct the shop assistants and manager to start packing their belongings. 。Not only were her own belongings put away, but even the jewelry and trinkets on the dresser were packed up as well. Items were boxed, and others were placed in containers. 。Outside, several large carriages were waiting. People loaded the carriages box by box, and then under the mistress's lead, they left the jewelry store in a grand procession. 。By the way, I also took the plaque off as I was leaving. 。 Zhuai'er stared blankly at the empty stall, "This move was too slick, they left too quickly." 。“Shangguan Xiaoya even analyzed a sentence: ‘Could it be that the shop has some problems It looks like they are running away.’” 。"

Ying Nan shook his head, "What could possibly be the problem The Shi family is a well-known merchant in the Outer City. A shop this big would have had problems long ago if there were any, why wait until today" He said as he walked over and closed the shop's door. Someone outside asked about what was going on with the shop, and he casually replied, "The shop has changed owners, the original owner transferred the shop to us." 。The shop has been under renovation these days and will be reopening soon. 。When people heard this, they didn't worry anymore and soon dispersed. 。When Nantian came back, he told Ye Wen, “To open a shop, we need to make a large amount of finished products in advance. Just the two of us aren't enough.” 。These past few days, I've also been thinking, there are still many young people in the family who can be apprentices. Why don't we, me and Shangguan, take the lead Even just helping out is good. 。Master, please rest assured. The delicate work will definitely be completed by the two of us. We will personally carve the markings that Master mentioned before. 。Additionally, I hope the master could provide some simple patterns that can be given to apprentices to practice, and set the prices relatively low. That way, it will be easier for them to establish a foothold in the outer city. 。" Of course, Shangguan Xiaoya also agreed, "Outsiders in the outer city can't afford to spend as much money as those in the inner city. If our jewelry is too expensive, they won't be able to buy it." 。Since Master's goal is to make these ornaments circulate, we must set a price. 。"

Night Wenyan also thought of this, she took the two books from Zhuai'er's hand and handed one to each of them.

" 。One of them is more complex in craftsmanship and relatively expensive. 。Another book aimed at civilians, with simple craftsmanship and a low price. 。All of these were hand-drawn by me, each one unique. You get to choose the artisan and apprentice who will forge them, you have the final say. 。But there's one thing, everyone who works in this shop, even if you don't check their ancestors for eight generations, at least check up to three generations back, and make sure their backgrounds are clean. 。Even among family, one should consider whether their character is upright. 。“Please rest assured, Master. We will definitely choose candidates very carefully.” 。But besides the craftsmen in the back courtyard, we are powerless over those in the front shop. We still have to rely on the master himself to find them. 。

Moreover, if the master wishes to spread these jewelry pieces, relying solely on this one shop would be insufficient. In the future, it will also be necessary to open similar shops in each state and province.

Of course this is all for later, right now the most important thing is the fellow in front and the shopkeeper. 。" Night Wenyan also knew this was a key issue. The shopkeeper and the clerks, there's only one shopkeeper, but there have to be many clerks. 。Just like Madam just said, it's not a good idea for male shop assistants to sell jewelry. Where can you find someone more meticulous and helpful than a woman Especially if we have female shop assistants, they can help customers try on jewelry. Customers who come to see the jewelry will feel more comfortable seeing a young girl selling them, and won't feel embarrassed. 。These are all things that men can't do. 。She started thinking about hitting the girls, and as she kept hitting them, she hit one of those injured people she had treated when he rolled over. 。Here is the translation of your provided text, with HTML tags kept intact:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! The wounds from the previous beating and the threat of having his hands chopped off had been treated by Ye Wen early on. Now, sitting in the room was another person: a young man with feminine feature...
