The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 104: Talking about cooperation, opening of the clothing store

"I heard that you have eight counties under your fiefdom. Do you have eight families?"

Shen Jiarou's admiring look made the other party admire her even more.

"So amazing! If I were as good as you, my mother would praise me to death."

Shen Jiayi was amused by her. "Is it that exaggerated? Don't do this to tease me."

Mu Xue was afraid that she wouldn't believe it. "Really?"

Suddenly, a bold idea came to her mind. She looked at Shen Jiayi, hesitant to speak, "Excuse me, can I buy a stake in your clothing store?"

Her sudden question not only shocked the maids and the nannies, but also Shen Jiayi.

She reacted and declined apologetically, "Sorry, this clothing store is a partnership between me and my senior sister, and 20% of it belongs to the imperial court and the empress dowager."

Mu Xue was shocked. "The Empress Dowager is also involved?"

Even the imperial court?

Shen Jiarou chuckled and said, "It's nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade."

After saying that, she asked Ruan Qingling to prepare some beauty-enhancing Tremella soup for her.

After listening to her explanation, Princess Mu Xue understood and suddenly an idea came to her.

"Can I cooperate with you in other business?"

Shen Jiarou was slightly surprised. The princess had not given up yet.

"This one……"

Afraid that she would refuse, Mu Xue reached out and held Shen Jiayi's hand on the table and said coquettishly, "I will never cause you any trouble."

Their Rong Wang Mansion can be considered a big tree, but not as big as the Imperial Grandmother’s.

Shen Jiarou pulled the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "Let me think about it."

Princess Mu Xue was delighted to see that things had been sorted out.

"It's okay, just think about it slowly."

There are many things Shen Jiarou wants to do, but she is not yet capable of doing them.

She was delighted at the thought of modern beauty massage.

"There is."

"What is it? Tell me."

"It's for beauty and skin care."

Princess Mu Xue was twelve years old and was very interested in what she said.

"That sounds good, how much silver does it cost?"

This stumped Shen Jiarou. "Buying a shop, renovating it, ordering parts, hiring workers, etc., I'm afraid it will cost at least two or three thousand taels."

Shops in Beijing are expensive, and a beauty salon requires quite a large area.

Princess Mu Xue waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. How can we cooperate?"

"I have never worked with other people on this, so I don't know the rules for now."

Princess Mu Xue nodded when she heard this. This made sense.

"So how do you and your sister work together?"

Shen Jiayi pursed her lips solemnly and said, "Except for the 10% from the Queen Mother and the court, Senior Sister said that her technical contribution only accounts for 20%. I think that is a little too little, so I gave another 5% to Teacher and his wife, leaving me with 50%."

Princess Mu Xue thought that since the other party had proposed it, he must have the technology and she also had the money, which would be a difficult problem.

She raised her eyes and said tentatively, "How about I take 30%? After all, you have the ideas, the skills, and the money, so I can be considered to be taking advantage."

Ruan Qingling and Zhen Luosang looked at each other in surprise. Their princess has been quite popular recently.

Shen Jiayi pulled the corner of her mouth and said reluctantly, "It's not impossible, then let's distribute it this way, but it's better for the guys to buy more people."

Princess Rong had no idea that her daughter had done something big. When she heard about it, she almost spit out her tea.

"Princess Yongkang agreed?"

Princess Mu Xue nodded solemnly, "My daughter convinced me."

Princess Rong had no idea what was wrong with her daughter, as she was actually thinking about doing business.

"Okay, you're the one who pays 30% and she's the one who pays 70%. It won't cost you much, so I'll just give it to you for fun."

Princess Mu Xue happily hugged her mother's arm and said, "I know you are the best."

The flower-viewing banquet was over, and Princess Mu Xue stayed coquettishly, while only Princess Rong left.

Princess Mu Xue pestered Shen Jiayi to explain the details, and she was filled with surprise.

Two days later, the clothing store opened for business.

The onlookers looked at the three large characters "Zhu Yu Pavilion" appearing in front of everyone in a vigorous and majestic manner above the red cloth that was connected to the plaque.

Some onlookers recognized it and murmured to themselves, "Zhu Yu Pavilion, the name is grand and elegant, and it is as good as Shi Ya Xuan Restaurant."

They didn't know it was a little girl who got it. If they knew, they would be even more surprised and amazed.

Mr. Xie stayed in the mansion, while Su Yuwan, her daughter Xie Lianxiang and Shen Jiarou all came to his shop.

Shen Jiarou, who has a rare day off, cherishes the days of going out to earn money.

She felt that since becoming his disciple, the teacher seemed stricter and she had more homework, but she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

This time, the one who helped to collect the debts was Element Frost, who was seen tapping the abacus skillfully.

Yaer was also arranged by Nanny Wang to practice and learn. At this moment, she was introducing the ready-made delicacies in the store to the ladies and young ladies of various families.

Shen Jiarou and her master's wife and senior sister looked at each other in silence.

There was a commotion outside and the three of them turned around at the same time to look over there. They were shocked by what they saw.

"Princess Mu Xue?"

Tsk tsk tsk, how come she is here too?

Shen Jiarou was a little confused, and quickly calmed down and walked forward.

"Princess Muxue, you are here."

Princess Mu Xue motioned to Chunxiang to take the gift, and Chunxiang understood and turned around.

"Give me the stuff."

Then she handed it to Shen Jiayi with both hands, "Princess Yongkang, this is a gift from our princess."

Shen Jiarou took it personally and thanked him, "Since you came here, you even brought a gift. You are so polite."

Shen Jiarou took her to the backyard to receive her. “How do you feel coming all the way in?”

Princess Mu Xue looked at the arrangements everywhere, and the details were well grasped.

"What was that in the outer hall just now? The one wearing clothes."

"Well, the display stand allows people to see the effect of clothes more intuitively. What do you think?" Then she looked at her with her sparkling eyes.

"It's indeed more intuitive. Did you come up with this idea?" She is so amazing.

Shen Jiarou nodded slightly.

Princess Mu Xue showed an admiring look again, "Great, there are so many people outside."

"Thank you for your support." Shen Jiarou was sweet-mouthed and good at talking, and Princess Mu Xue smiled immediately.

Shen Jiarou actually bought a shop before, and she was planning to use it to make fruit platters and candied haws. She could also sell seasonal fruits to increase her income.

Zhuyu Pavilion was busy for several days and business gradually stabilized.

When Shen Jiarou came in with Ruan Qingling, Zhen Luosang, Yaer and Zheng Shutong, Yuansu Shuang was still reconciling accounts with the accountant.

The accountant couldn't help but smile with joy when he saw the recent debt collection. That was great, the income exceeded what the princess had mentioned, and they would all get a commission.

Elemental Frost looked up as if sensing someone was around.

"The county lord."

She quickly put down the account book, walked out from the counter and saluted, "Princess, we have recovered all our expenses during this period, and we have made a profit."

The moment she spoke, the accountant came out to greet her. After the others greeted him, Zhen Luosang waved at them to continue their work.

In the Yuye Room in the backyard, Shen Jiarou was sitting checking the accounts. This room was reserved for herself and she named it herself. The furnishings in the room were warm and elegant.

The Pearl and Jade Pavilion has two floors, each floor is one thousand square meters and was bought for five thousand taels. One thousand taels was spent on decoration, two thousand taels were spent on cloth and other materials, two hundred and ten taels were spent on the embroiderers and the accountant, and one hundred taels were spent on other snacks, totaling eight thousand three hundred and one hundred taels. The revenue (including the finished products and the deposit) was ten thousand taels, and the profit was one thousand six hundred and ninety taels, which was considered good.
