Chapter 217 Opening a Shop
After Chen Ying left the bookstore, he turned left and right and arrived at the princess's mansion.
Sure enough, Ye Jiu was waiting for him.
But the princess was not there, but there was another person sitting in the room!
That person was actually Tang Li!
Chen Ying has never seen Yin Xiang again since she resigned.
The two nodded as a greeting.
Although Chen Ying had many things to ask Tang Li, now was obviously not the time to reminisce about the past. Well, there would be plenty of time later.
Ye Jiu saw Chen Ying coming in, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Here you are."
Chen Ying nodded, "Yes, I'm here."
Ye Jiu motioned Chen Ying to sit down, and then said, "I asked you to come here today because I need your help with something."
Chen Ying quickly responded: "Just tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."
Ye Jiu smiled and said, "It's not a difficult task. I just want you to help me check if there are any shops for rent in Beijing recently."
Chen Ying frowned and asked in confusion, "Shop?"
Chen Ying turned to look at Tang Li beside him, and suddenly he slapped his forehead as if he had suddenly realized something, and said, "So it's the girl who wants to open a shop!"
Tang Li nodded gently and replied softly, "Yes, although he gave me a sum of money that is enough for me to raise my children, we can't just sit back and do nothing. So I thought about starting a small business of my own."
Chen Ying understood what she meant and nodded to show his understanding.
Then, he suddenly remembered something and said excitedly, "Oh, there is a shop for rent near the bookstore. What kind of business are you going to do?"
Tang Li pondered for a moment and replied, "Brewing wine."
She further explained: "My family originally made a living by selling wine. My family has the wine-making skills passed down from generation to generation, and I know a thing or two, so I thought about opening a wine-making workshop."
After hearing this, Chen Ying's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed: "Okay, that's a good idea! As it happens, I'm quite familiar with that boss, so I can help you make the connection when the time comes."
Hearing this, Tang Li showed a grateful smile on her face and quickly thanked him: "Thank you very much, Brother Chen."
At this moment, Ye Jiu suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he remembered something important, and said hurriedly: "By the way, I called you here today for another matter. I just want to ask, are those two guys staying well with you?"
Chen Ying frowned and showed a distressed expression on his face, as if he was very dissatisfied with someone or something.
He gritted his teeth and sighed, "Ah!" Then, his voice became low and stern, "Those two guys are simply good-for-nothings!"
He continued to complain: "He is lazy and idle all day long; he is clumsy and always does things slowly; and he has no ears and can't hear anything others say!"
After saying that, he shook his head helplessly, expressing his disappointment with this person.
Of course, this is basically talking about Gu Ming.
Ye Jiu looked at Chen Ying, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
He comforted her, "Don't worry too much, just be patient for a while. We will send them away when the matter is resolved."
Hearing this, Chen Ying's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "Did Lord He find any clues?"
Ye Jiu nodded, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.
He said softly, "Well, it's almost there."
Chen Ying felt relieved after hearing this. He nodded to show his understanding and thanked Ye Jiu. Then he turned and left.
Chen Ying brought Tang Li to the shop together.
The boss happened to be there, and the two of them quickly negotiated the price and paid the money happily. Then Tang Li was ready to open the business.
This shop is located in a bustling commercial district with a superior geographical location. It is surrounded by a constant flow of people and is very lively.
Chen Ying stood at the door, carefully observed the surrounding environment, and nodded with satisfaction.
He turned to Tang Li and said, "This is a good location with a lot of people. It's perfect for a wine shop."
After hearing what Chen Ying said, Tang Li's eyes sparkled with excitement.
She couldn't wait to walk into the shop, looked around, and was secretly happy in her heart.
She seemed to see a prosperous business in the future and imagined that the fine wine she brewed herself would attract many customers to come and taste it.
In the following days, Tang Li devoted herself to the preparation work of the wine shop.
She recruited a group of assistants, carefully selected the equipment and raw materials for brewing, and prepared to start her own winemaking career. Every step was full of expectations and hope, and she firmly believed that she could brew intoxicating wine.
At the same time, Ye Jiu was also busy dealing with year-end affairs.
In addition to handling matters in the mansion, Ye Jiu also needs to prepare gifts to be sent to the palace.
Qi Zi is pregnant now, and it is not convenient for her to do many things, so Ye Jiu has to take care of it himself.
Calculating the time, Concubine Li should give birth after the New Year, while Qi Zi will give birth about a month later than Concubine Li.
On this day, Qi Zi suddenly wanted to eat candied haws, and Ye Jiu had no choice but to go out and buy them for her himself.
However, when he walked out into the street, he encountered an unexpected situation.
He saw the Tenth Prince and a few others sneaking into an alley.
Ye Jiu glanced at those people and found that some of them were familiar faces. They were the ones who had taken Chinese medicine from Chen Ying before. But weren't they the disciples of the Eighth Prince? How come they were mixed up with the Tenth Prince now?
Ye Jiu was feeling strange. At this moment, he saw a sneaky figure. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Eleven who was following the Tenth Prince.
Ye Jiu gave a look and the two of them turned into the alley that the Tenth Prince had just entered.
"It was Feng Bi who found the Tenth Prince himself." Eleven said concisely.
The two did not stop to talk, but followed behind closely.
Moreover, Eleven had already investigated and found that there were no experts around the Tenth Prince, only a few guards.
And those guards were following the Tenth Prince, and with their abilities, those guards could not discover him.
Ye Jiu nodded when he heard this, indicating that he understood. It seemed that these people felt that the Eighth Prince had no chance of becoming the Emperor, so they turned to the Tenth Prince.
Thinking of this, Ye Jiu's eyes darkened, and he thought to himself that something was wrong. They had been in the dark all along, and there was no obstacle to their actions.
But now that these people have joined the Tenth Prince, I'm afraid they will bring them trouble.
But now, if Feng Bi and the Tenth Prince got in touch, then the Tenth Prince would definitely know that someone had been watching him, otherwise how could Liu Yu's medicine be replaced by such a coincidence.
Although He Yun had reported the matter to Emperor Qi before, it was left unresolved in the end. Even the Tenth Prince himself was unaware that he had been plotted against without his knowledge.
