Lin Wuchen was very satisfied with Su Shunci's proposal and praised her for her thoughtful consideration.
He then told Lin Jin, "Do as the fourth cousin says."
Su Shunci added, "We must hurry up and open this shop within three days. The New Year is coming soon, and now is the critical time for families to give gifts."
"These things are novel and well-known to be expensive. Everyone must want to buy them as gifts."
Lin Jin understood Su Shunci's meaning and turned around to go out to do his work.
Afterwards, Su Shunci personally looked through the items again, picked out the best ones and kept them. After packing them up, she asked someone to deliver them to Su Qingyu, Su Zhilan, and the family members.
He also picked out some for Lin Wuchen so that he could present them to his elders during the New Year.
The Lin family's manager was very efficient and had the shop ready in just two or three days.
Just as Su Shunci had expected, as soon as the shop opened, a long line formed outside.
Especially the place selling spices, which stretches for two miles.
Many people cannot afford gemstones and precious medicinal materials, but they can afford spices. The New Year is coming soon, and everyone wants to try the taste of these overseas spices.
As the young man calculated the bill and collected the money, he grimaced from time to time. He thought, what can I buy with these two taels of silver and a few spices? Wouldn't it be nice to buy a few pounds of pork with this money?
But people have a herd mentality, as if if you buy it, I’d be inferior to you if I don’t.
If all the neighbors on the street are talking about it, you have to buy it, otherwise you won’t be able to get a word in.
Su Shunci originally wanted to come and see how the products were selling, but she couldn't squeeze in from the corner.
She just looked at him, her eyes and eyebrows curved with a smile.
"It's so cold, and you don't even have a hand warmer with you." Lin Wuchen stood beside her at some point and stuffed another hand warmer into her hand.
Su Shunci took it, straightened the collar of his cloak, and said, "With all the money pouring in, who can remember if you're cold?"
For her, as long as she can make money, being tired or cold doesn't matter.
Lin Wuchen shook his head helplessly, then praised: "Fourth cousin, this is a great idea. I can also rely on you to have a good New Year."
Knowing that he was joking, Su Shunci snorted with a smile, "If the third young master of the Lin family can't afford to celebrate the New Year, then there will be no rich people in this world."
While the two were talking, Lin Jin suddenly walked up to Lin Wuchen and whispered, "Third Young Master, we have found the person you asked us to find before."
Lin Wuchen's eyes narrowed, "That lame Li Hu?"
Before Li Hu left the capital, Shen Zhixiu had always felt something was wrong. Li Hu seemed to know that someone was chasing him. Later, Wenzhu investigated the fire on the Shen family farm, but found nothing.
The other party didn't leave any trace at all, which at least shows that he is a well-connected person in the capital.
So Shen Zhixiu had been ordering people to secretly check Li Hu's whereabouts, and also asked Lin Wuchen's caravan to help find him. There had been no news from Shen Zhixiu, but he had found someone now.
Lin Jin nodded and said, "It's a coincidence. A few days ago, Li Hu offended some local tyrants in Guangning County in the north."
"Our steward felt sorry for him and helped him. Li Hu said he wanted to travel around with our caravan, and all he needed was food."
"How could the manager dare to keep such a person who had no background or knowledge? When he was about to refuse, he saw that he was lame and remembered the person that the Third Young Master had told him to keep an eye on. That's when he discovered his identity."
"Now the steward has sent a message to ask what to do with the Third Young Master. He is still in the caravan."
Lin Wuchen thought for a moment and said, "Wait for my news."
He couldn't make the decision on this matter, so he had to ask Shen Zhixiu.
After that, he left the shop and went to Shen's house, and sent a letter to Guangning County in the evening.
For several days in a row, Su Shunci's newly opened shop was crowded with people, and the fourth young lady of the Su family became famous again in the capital.
Su Chengye was stunned for a moment after hearing the news, and recalled the scene of the day when he drove them out. At that time, he thought that his daughter would come back to the mansion crying and beg for mercy within three days.
But no one expected that she first became a godparent of the Song family, then opened her own shop, later became a royal merchant, and now is involved in shipping.
Su Chengye felt a little disappointed. Now Su Shunci lived in Prince Ning's Mansion and often visited her uncle and aunt.
It seemed as if he was the only one she didn't recognize as her father.
He laughed at himself again, he deserved it.
The time has come to the end of the year, and all governments are busy preparing for the New Year.
This year, all the trivial matters of the Shen family were handled by Second Madam Yang and her servants. Su Qingyu either rested in the courtyard to take care of her pregnancy or went to Qingyuanju to talk with the old lady or recite scriptures.
That day, after Su Qingyu had breakfast, she planned to go for a walk in Qingyuanju.
There was a little snow the day before yesterday, but fortunately the servants in the mansion were very efficient. When Su Qingyu left the yard, the snow on the corridor had been swept clean.
Ever since she became pregnant, the servants in the mansion have been more careful than before, fearing that something might go wrong when the Third Lady was walking around in the mansion.
She is now almost seven months pregnant, and Zhenzhu, Feicui and Chuntao dare not be careless at all.
"Madam, I think it's better for you to take the warm sedan chair. It's cold in winter and it would be embarrassing to fall and get cold." Zhenzhu advised from the side.
Su Qingyu shook her head and said, "It's not far, let's walk there."
She was in her advanced stage of pregnancy and always felt hot. But Shen Zhixiu was afraid that she would get cold, so he heated the floor more vigorously than in previous years.
So she liked to take a walk when she went out, and she felt comfortable all over when the cool wind blew.
Zhenzhu and the others couldn't persuade her and could only stay by her side to protect her.
When everyone arrived at Qingyuanju, Han Cui, who was guarding the door of the main house, bowed to Su Qingyu and lifted the cotton curtain.
When Su Qingyu went in, she heard her second sister-in-law Yang talking to the old lady.
"Since last night, the rumor has spread all over the capital, and it's very detailed."
"If this is true, His Royal Highness Prince Gong's reputation..."
When Su Qingyu came in, Yang stopped talking, stood up and helped her sit down.
"You're so cold." She turned around and ordered the maid beside her, "Quickly pour a cup of hot water for the Third Madam, and bring two cushions."
Su Qingyu thanked him and asked, "What did the second sister-in-law say? It sounded like she was talking about His Royal Highness Prince Gong. Did something happen?"
Song Hongshen was her future brother-in-law, so naturally she had to ask a few more questions.
Yang handed the hot water to her personally and said.
"You may not know yet, but there was a rumor in the capital last night, saying that the emperor and empress fell out because the late empress had an affair with Prince Zhan."
"Some people also said that His Royal Highness Prince Gong is actually the biological son of Prince Zhan. The reason why there was nothing unusual in the paternity test is because Prince Zhan and the current emperor are brothers."
