Chapter 219 Yuwangzhai Branch Preparation

After eating and drinking, Yu Sanlang was helped by Yu Song to have a rest. Yu Hongdou took a short rest and decided to go to the Yuwangzhai branch.

After all, it will open tomorrow, so I have to take a look today.

She also asked Tan Mengao and Tan Yanlin if they wanted to go together. The two noble gentlemen seemed quite bored and were unwilling to leave the county and go to Wu’an first.

She might as well play the role of host and take them around for some fun.

Yuwangzhai in Zhoucheng is located on South Street, the most prosperous and lively street in the city.

The state capital is different from Wu’an County. It is divided into several core commercial areas. Yu Wangzhai’s location is right in the middle of the medium-sized commercial area.

This area has convenient transportation, and both rich and poor people in the city come here to hang out, so the whole street is busy with people and cars, and it is quite a lively scene.

Yu Hongdou hadn’t been here for the past two days. Today, she found that this shop was indeed good. There were many shops around it, selling all kinds of things, which could attract customers from all walks of life to come in and take a look.

Moreover, there is a wide street in front of Yuwangzhai’s door, which is very convenient for vehicles and pedestrians.

Looking from a distance, the colorful paper windmill sign at the entrance of Yuwangzhai is particularly eye-catching and unique.

At this moment, the main door of the shop was wide open, and Duan Yuan was directing the shop assistants to hang a red cloth on the signboard. There were several people around watching the fun and asking about the business of this shop.

Yu Hongdou did not go around to the back door, but drove the carriage directly to the main gate, leaning on the curtain to look in. Seeing this scene, she could not help but think of the scene when Yu Wangzhai opened in Wu’an County, and a smile appeared on her face.

“Miss!” Duan Yuan saw Changlin driving the carriage and hurried over. When he raised his eyes, he saw his own young lady.

“I just came to take a look. Are you done packing? Have the goods arrived?” Yu Hongdou didn’t need Tan Langxiu’s help. She lifted the curtain and got out of the car by herself.

“Miss, everything is ready, except for the decoration tomorrow.” Duan Yuan bowed and replied to his mistress seriously, his tone full of excitement.

A few years ago, he was just a farm servant. Who would have thought that he would now be the manager of a large shop in the state capital?

Thinking back to when he had just followed the young lady, his dream was to become a steward, but now Duan Yuan wanted to stay by the young lady’s side and serve her.

“You stay here for two or three years and train an assistant. You can come back to me in the future.” As if she had heard Duan Yuan’s thoughts, Yu Hongdou made him a promise.

Speaking of the most useful person in Anbei Manor, it must be Duan Zhuangtou. However, Duan Zhuangtou is a bit old after all, and he has to sit firmly in the rear, so Yu Hongdou wants to prepare Duan Yuan, who is relatively smart, as a steward in the future.

“Yes!” Duan Yuan kowtowed to his young lady excitedly.

Yu Hongdou helped him up and started walking around the new shop.

“Is this a new toy?” The two Tan brothers followed Yu Hongdou and Tan Langxiu picked up a box of black and white wooden boards and asked Yu Hongdou.

“Well, this is called hidden building blocks. It can exercise your thinking, um, thinking ability. Look~” Yu Hongdou picked up the black and white wooden blocks and quickly put together a pony.

Tan Langxu glanced at Xiao Ma, then at Yu Hongdou, and learned from his experience by taking the black and white pieces and pieced together a swallow.

“…”Tan Yanlin glanced at the two of them speechlessly, but picked up a booklet under the building block box.

“These are the jigsaw puzzles we give you. The black and white blocks are a prize game. If you can create a unique pattern, you can come to the store to apply to have it included in the album and get a discount card from Yu Wang Zhai, which will allow you to buy things at a cheaper price.”

Yu Hongdou pointed at the booklet that Tan Yanlin had opened, and saw a number of black and white patterns inside. “What a genius idea.” Tan Yanlin flipped through the booklet, handed it to his brother, and casually used the black and white blocks to make a kite.

Yu Hongdou pursed her lips and smiled proudly, hehe, actually it’s just a variation of the tangram, and it was inspired by the book “Collection of Ancient Games”.

“Leave two sets for me. I plan to take them with me on the road.” Tan Yanlin reserved two sets and then looked at other items in the store.

Tan Langxuan followed his brother’s footsteps and bought whatever his brother bought. Before the shop opened, a large order had already been placed, which was definitely a good omen.

Duan Yuan and the shop assistants all smiled, especially when Yu Hongdou, the boss, said that he would double their monthly salary by the end of the year. The shop assistants cheered.

……

In the next few days, the newly appointed Juren Master Yu Song did not go out for social events. He accompanied his family shopping for two days, and then went to Yunruo Temple with his sister and the two sons of the Tan family to see the mansion of “Yunsheng Legend”.

While Yu Hongdou was strolling around with relatives and friends, she was also taking care of Wu Xingyun and asked Changhe to help find out about the Zongheng Escort Agency.

Wu Xingyun’s father brought a lot of valuables and knocked on the door of Xu’s house, then took his men out of the city overnight and went somewhere unknown.

The person who inquired did not get any news, but Yu Hongdou guessed that Wu Xingyun’s father should have gone to Jining.

The current Jininglu belongs to a foreign ethnic group and has trade with the Central Plains. Although the two countries are somewhat tense, it does not involve civilians and trade.

Yu Sanlang passed the news back to Cigou Village. By now, the Cao family should be on their way to Jining.

The head of the escort agency is not here, the eldest daughter’s life or death is unknown, the concubine and her son have been punished, and the old men in the escort agency cannot be suppressed. At this moment, Zongheng Escort Agency seems to be falling apart.

“Sister Wu, if you want to take back the Zongheng Escort Agency, now is a good time.” Yu Hongdou gave Wu Xingyun some advice.

Although the system said that Wu Xingyun was her personal bodyguard, Yu Hongdou felt that she really couldn’t use him at the moment. It would be better to ask the young lady to take back the escort agency so that she could have more people to help her father and brother.

The communication of the escort company is well developed. In the future, she and her father can send letters to their brother through the escort company.

“Well, Hongdou, you are right. I will contact the people in the escort agency tomorrow.” Wu Xingyun felt that there was some truth in his savior’s words.

Unfortunately, the system kept its word and said that a personal bodyguard for Yu Hongdou would be a personal bodyguard, without giving Wu Xingyun any chance to change his mind.

That night a fire broke out in the Zongheng Escort Agency and it was completely burned down overnight.

“How could this be?!” Yu Hongdou, who was still in a daze, woke up immediately after receiving such exciting news as soon as she opened her eyes early in the morning.

“The eldest lady of the Wu family has already arrived.” Qian Sanmei handed a towel to the young lady to wipe her face while reporting.

“Miss, do you want to go over?” Qian Sanmei was a little cautious about Wu Xingyun’s attitude and was not very willing for her young lady to get close to him.

“No, I’m not familiar with Zongheng Escort Agency. You go and ask Changhe to keep an eye on it. If something is wrong, secretly take Wu Xingyun out of the city.” Yu Hongdou waved her hand and let Qian Sanmei go first.

Regardless of whether the fire at Zongheng Escort Agency was an accident or man-made, Wu Xingyun, who had not appeared for a long time, suddenly appeared. I am afraid that many people will suspect that this eldest daughter who was treated harshly by her biological father and stepmother is the arsonist.

Yu Hongdou felt both sympathy and pity for Wu Xingyun, but also coldness and indifference towards the Zongheng Escort Agency.
