"If you have no such intention, I can rest assured. I just think that Miss Tang You is a one - in - a - million girl. Naturally, not just anyone is worthy of her."
Granny Xuan said halfway and then looked at Yue Fusheng, who was frowning and lost in thought. She then continued, "However, some things can't be solved just by status and position. Only true love can match this girl's sincere heart."
Saying this, Granny Xuan immediately yawned repeatedly. "Oh, forget it. I'll just go back and sleep. I won't talk about your kids' business anymore. I'm tired and it's time for me to withdraw from the affairs of the harem and the court."
After saying this, Granny Xuan staggered and casually found a room, then fell asleep right away.
Yue Fusheng was quite puzzled. It seemed that this was the first time Granny Xuan referred to herself as "I". Maybe she was really tired of the affairs in the palace.
Not long after, Tang Youyou came back with a big bag of things.
Seeing Yue Fusheng sitting alone in the main hall, Tang Youyou asked in confusion, "Why are you the only one here? Where are the others?"
"Qingyu and Yiran went out to buy daily necessities. Kang Fuhai is checking the goods. Granny is taking a nap."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou handed the things in her hand to Yue Fusheng. "Later, the two of us will redecorate the shop."
"But..." Yue Fusheng pushed his missing arm and said hesitantly.
"There's no 'but'. You can definitely help. Don't forget that you've taken care of all the things here. Your skills are second to none. What's there to hesitate about?"
Saying this, Tang Youyou rolled her eyes at him and then started to organize the things in her hand on her own.
This time, what she wanted was to open a shop with modern features in ancient times, targeting women as the main customers and specifically helping these women solve the difficulties in their lives.
Saying this, Tang Youyou worked even faster. Another day and night passed, and the shop was finally almost ready.
Yiran looked at the decorations in the shop in surprise. It was completely different from the shops she had seen before.
"Empress Dowager, if you do this..."
"Shh, don't call me Empress Dowager anymore. Call me Young Master Tang."
She didn't want to be caught back by Rong Xun again. Even though Rong Xun was still indulging in Wen Ruxue's tenderness, she didn't want to give him any chance.
Hearing this, Yiran immediately changed her words. "Young Master Tang, if you decorate the shop like this, will anyone dare to come in?"
Qingyu also echoed, "Yes. Many women here rarely go out. Even those who do go out are busy for their families. They would never dare to come in and take a look at such a luxurious place."
"That's not a problem. Later, write a line of words at the door: All items are sold at three taels of silver."
Qingyu opened her eyes wide, with great confusion in her small eyes.
"Young Master Tang, you're making the prices public directly? This doesn't conform to the rules!" Kang Fuhai couldn't help but interject.
But Tang Youyou looked into his eyes and smiled gracefully. "What are rules? Rules are just words on paper. I'm a person, and I am the rule."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.
Qingyu also stopped talking because she knew that Tang Youyou opened the shop not for silver, but more for these suffering women.
She was born into a poor family, so she naturally knew what these women desired most in their hearts.
From childhood to adulthood, she only felt the taste of equality in Tang Youyou's place, so she was extremely grateful.
Yiran was the same. She was brought out of the brothel by Tang Youyou. Being able to leave unscathed was already the greatest blessing for her, and she would also protect Tang Youyou to the death.
"Young Master Tang, just do whatever you want. We'll always follow you. Eunuch Kang has already escaped from the palace with us. He's already on our boat, and he can't run away even if he wants to. So, you don't have to worry too much."
Yiran said and then glanced at Kang Fuhai pettily, which made Kang Fuhai lose his temper.
"Alright, alright. I'll just be cheated by you guys to the end. I accept my fate."
Finally, the few of them reached an agreement and just looked at each other and smiled.
...
Three days later, the rouge shop opened.
As soon as the shop opened, many customers rushed in.
Looking at the dazzling array of items in the shop, everyone's face showed excitement. They held silver in their hands and grabbed the things as if they were free. Each of them wished they could fill the whole basket.
Tang Youyou just stood quietly at the door, watching Kang Fuhai checking the goods and counting the money until his hands trembled.
At the same time, she said in a provocative way, "Ladies, please consume rationally. Don't buy too many things, or we'll run out of stock."
As soon as she finished speaking, those people bought even more crazily. Kang Fuhai wanted to cry but had no tears. With a melancholy look in his eyes, he stared at the culprit standing leisurely at the door.
Just after opening for one morning, more than half of the items in the shop were gone. At this rate, these things would not be enough to sell.
Moreover, most of the women who had already bought things left because they didn't have enough silver. Presumably, after another afternoon, the shop would be completely emptied.
"Young Master Tang, think of a way!"
Tang Youyou looked disdainful. She crossed her legs and lay provocatively on the chair. "What's there to think about? Let them use the things first. When they're sold out, just close the shop and stop selling."
"Stop selling? That's impossible. The business is booming now. If you stop selling, then these people will..."
Kang Fuhai stopped halfway. Tang Youyou immediately turned around and glanced at him. "What will happen? Say it!"
Kang Fuhai hesitated. "If they don't come anymore and forget about our rouge shop, isn't that a great loss?"
Tang Youyou stood up with her hands behind her back. "I understand what Uncle Kang means. But the premise of a long - term business is that people should know that your products are good. Otherwise, even if many people buy them, it's just a temporary excitement."
What Tang Youyou said was absolutely true. Many people just followed the trend. They didn't even know much about the products themselves. They just thought the more they bought, the better. There were even "scalpers" among them.
Scalpers in ancient times were extremely greedy for money. And she needed the originality of these "scalpers" so that people would actively want to know more about the rouge.
