If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

Since the beginning of April, when the Xiao family bought twenty boxes of rouge and cream from Qin’s rouge shop, more and more orders for rouge and cream were placed by people in the capital asking Jinzhou to buy them.

Shopkeeper Zhong alone bought more than 200 boxes.

So at the beginning of May, Qin Shu asked Dong Shun, the son of Chang Guanshi, to take people to the capital.

She had more than a dozen dowry shops in the East Market, the busiest area in the capital.

Not even my mother’s private property.

There is a shop with a two-story storefront in front, a large courtyard in the back, and a three-story residence.

If you open a shop in the capital city where every inch of land is valuable, you don’t even have to rent a house.

Dongshun went to renovate the shop and the house in advance. Three days ago, he received news that the house and the shop had been ready and they could open the shop as soon as Qin Shu came to Beijing.

After dinner, Qin Shu told Zhou Min about her plan to go to Beijing.

Although Qin Shu is now doing well in Jinzhou, she still faces many difficulties in opening a store in the capital, where there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers under the emperor's feet.

Especially because of Zhang Cheng’s matter, Prince Ning will definitely not let Qin Shu go.

People from Prince Ning's faction will not give up on making things difficult for Qin Shu.

If these are foreseeable difficulties, then the cumbersome and complicated ethical codes, red tape, and the unbreachable taboos among princes and nobles are unforeseen dangers that can be encountered at any time.

If Qin Shu makes the slightest mistake, she might be doomed!

In Jinzhou, the Jinzhou governor was only a third-rank official.

But in the capital, even a third-rank official has to be cautious when leaving the house.

In a restaurant or on the street, an inconspicuous person might be the prince of a royal or noble family.

What the capital city lacks the least is overbearing playboys.

Still can't afford to offend that kind of person.

Zhou Min heard this and said, "In that case, I will write a letter later. When you arrive in Beijing, go to the Jin Palace to see the princess and ask her to assign someone to you. There are many rules in Beijing. It is better to have an old nanny by your side to remind you frequently so that you will not make mistakes easily."

"Rong Feng from Cheng'an Mansion is also coming to the capital this time. It's a good opportunity for him to introduce you to the old lady."

The end of August is the Emperor's Birthday, so Zhou Min naturally has to go back to Beijing to celebrate his father's birthday. He calculates that he can arrive in the capital in time for Mid-Autumn Festival.

Qin Shu set off in the next few days and it will take almost half a month to arrive in the capital.

She has just arrived in the capital, and he will also arrive in a few days.

In such a short period of time, with Princess Jin and Cheng'an Mansion looking after them, nothing serious should happen.

Qin Shu thought that Prince Jin would not agree to her going to Beijing, and was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

After all, the two of them are now partners with the same goal. Qin Shu went to Beijing for personal grudges. Seriously speaking, her willful behavior will not benefit King Jin at all.

Instead it will bring him a lot of trouble.

But he still agreed.

Qin Shu thanked him with full of questions.

Zhou Min looked at her somewhat dazed expression, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a hint of calculation flashed across his eyes.

After asking carefully about the harvest time of corn and sweet potatoes, Zhou Min took his people back to Jincheng.

After returning to the Qin Mansion, Qin Shu made a special trip to visit the beloved daughter of Governor Zhang and temporarily handed over the store to her for management.

Yu Cui'er and Xiao Xing assisted.

The mansion is looked after by Madam Liu and Steward Chang.

Zhu Zhi and his men stayed in the mansion to look after the house. Qin Shu left a small bottle of spiritual spring water for Fubao, while Qingliu, Qingmei and the maids were responsible for making the rouge paste.

Chen Cheng is still in charge of the affairs on the farm, while Ji Jue is in charge of the land.

Everything is arranged properly.

The ninth day of the seventh month is auspicious and easy to travel.

Early in the morning, the Qin Mansion's four carriages were already equipped.

Li Youlin and Fu Ying rode horses in front, while Mo Laowu and others drove horse-drawn carriages, with two guards sitting on the boards of each carriage.

Qin Shu, Nanny Chun and Qingsang rode in the front carriage, while Qingzhu, Yuxiu and Mumian followed closely in the second carriage.

The two carriages at the back were loaded with items to be brought into the capital.

As soon as I walked out of the South City Gate, I heard the sound of hurried horse hooves coming from behind.

Xiao Cheng rode his horse and hurried over with his servant, saying loudly, "Fortunately, we didn't miss it. Wait a moment, the princess and the others are still behind."

Zhou Yan and Zhou Wan, representing the Prince of Liang's Mansion, would also go to Beijing to celebrate the emperor's birthday.

Half an incense stick later, six carriages and a team of more than twenty guards from Prince Liang's mansion were seen approaching slowly.

The whole convoy suddenly became lively.

Zhou Wan forced Qin Shu to sit in her carriage and sent Nanny Lin to sit with Nanny Chun.

With Zhou Wan as his companion and the guards from Prince Liang's Mansion, the journey was safe and not lonely.

On the last day of July, the group arrived in the capital.

In her previous life, Qin Shu had come to the capital with her parents.

The city gate tower still looks the same as it does in my memory, and the gray-black city walls tower into the clouds.

Through the wide doorway, there was a constant stream of pedestrians and carriages coming and going.

The guards at the city gate wore swords on their waists and would stop passers-by to check their travel permits and household registration documents.

Xiao Cheng stepped forward, placed his hand on the shoulder of a city gate guard, and patted him vigorously, "Dachengzi!"

The man turned around and smiled in surprise: "Oh, Rong Feng is back?"

Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "That's right. I owe you the wine last time. This time, I have to make it up to you."

The man replied, "Okay, I'll come find you when I'm done with my shift."

Xiao Cheng said: "Call Song Er and the others."

The man waved his hand, "Nothing to say."

The city gate guards were under the jurisdiction of the Twelve Guards of the Southern Court, and only the sons of noble families were allowed to enter.

With Xiao Cheng's presence, the city gate guards were able to check the carriages much faster.

Qin Shu watched as the city gate guard next to her poked at the cargo bag on a carriage with a knife until the owner of the carriage quietly handed over a bag of silver.

The guard at the city gate weighed his purse and then waved his hand to let him pass.

If Xiao Cheng and Zhou Wan hadn't been there, her luggage would have suffered the same fate.

This is the most intuitive feeling of power.

Once you enter the city, the main street can accommodate six carriages pulled by four horses at the same time, and there are neatly lined houses on both sides of the street.

The road surface was smooth and the carriage did not feel any bumps at all when driving on it.

Compared with the prosperity of the capital, Jinzhou City is as simple as the countryside.

Qin Shu's shop is in the market town, close to East City.

Xiao Cheng, Zhou Wan and others had to go north to get closer to the city center where the powerful and wealthy gathered.

When the two convoys separated at the intersection, Qin Shu saw Zhou Wan also riding a horse, and followed with Xiao Cheng.

Qin Shu asked curiously, "Aren't you two going back home?"

Zhou Wan whipped the edge of his boots lightly with a horsewhip and said casually, "Why are you in such a hurry to go back home? The right thing to do is to send you back first."

Qin Shu looked at Li Youlin and Fu Rong, and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

The carriage soon arrived at the Qin family shop. The door to the backyard was located in the alley on the east side of the shop.

Just as Mo Laowu was about to drive the carriage into the alley, a man wearing pickled green brocade and a hat of the same color leaned against the entrance of the alley, his arms resting on the wall, his whole body blocking half of the road at an angle.

He lazily picked his ears and said, "You're from out of town? Have you said hello to me? Just come in?"

Zhou Wan jumped off the horse, raised his hand, and lashed out with the whip. With a crisp "pa" sound, the whip hit the man's arm that was supporting the wall.
