Gu Yanzhou and Xie Chen both had a lot to say to Jiang Yunzhu, but there were too many people around, so they could only stand there and deal with it.
Jiang Yunzhu looked at them for a while, then turned and left. She was happy for them, but she also had her own things to do.
We soon arrived at the rented store and found Boss Pan already waiting there.
He has dealt with the store's affairs in the past two days and is preparing to return to his hometown.
"There are still some things in the store. If you can use them, you can use them. If you can't, it's okay to throw them away." Boss Pan gave Jiang Yunzhu two keys, one for the store door and the other for the courtyard door.
The shop is at the end of the street, with a two-story building in front and a spacious yard in the back. There are four main rooms and four side rooms in the yard. Boss Pan used to live here. In order to make it easier to go out, he opened another door on the side of the yard, which is the gate to the yard.
"Thank you, Boss Pan." Jiang Yunzhu thanked sincerely.
This made Boss Pan feel even more embarrassed, and he really felt that he had cheated Jiang Yunzhu.
"Take care of yourself, girl." He covered his face and left.
Jiang Yunzhu took the key and opened the door of the shop to look inside. After only two days, the things in the shop were not cleaned up and looked very messy. But it didn't matter, it would be fine once it was cleaned up.
This restaurant has a lobby on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor.
There was nothing to see in the lobby, so Jiang Yunzhu went straight up to the second floor, walked into a private room, looked around, and realized that she had to redo everything.
Then she walked to the railing and looked out. As expected, the higher you stand, the farther you can see. From here, you can see most of Wenxianfang, the tall and short buildings, and the deep and shallow courtyards.
She became interested and went into each box to check it out. When she entered the box on the far right, she immediately liked this place.
From here, you can actually see the imperial palace from afar. Although you can't see the large yellow glazed tiles and red palace walls clearly, you can still imagine how luxurious it must be.
If you look closer, you can see a large expanse of emerald green lake and dense and lush forests of varying shades of green.
A little closer, a few streets away, is the main street of Wenxianfang.
The streets were bustling with people and cars. Jiang Yunzhu was attracted by the sight and looked for a long time before she looked away.
She decided that after the box was completed, it would not be open to the public, but only her private place. It was fine, she could just look at the distance, drink tea and wine here, which was exactly the life she had longed for before.
Thinking of this, she wanted to finish decorating the entire store immediately to see if it was what she imagined.
Reluctantly she went downstairs and went to the backyard.
There was nothing special about the backyard. Boss Pan didn't seem to be a person who cared about enjoying life. The backyard seemed to have been renovated two or three years ago, and he moved in directly.
Jiang Yunzhu felt that she would live here for a long time, so she decided to decorate the place well.
The only thing that surprised her was that Boss Pan also ran a restaurant, so the kitchen in the backyard was very large and had all the necessary pots and stoves, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Comparing her ideas with reality one by one, Jiang Yunzhu immediately called the people she had found earlier and explained to them where and how to install it. Those people started working immediately.
Things in the capital are different from those in Wuling County. The more details you pay attention to, the more you cannot be careless.
So this time Jiang Yunzhu was very careful in every detail, and she demanded that even a pattern should not have any deviation.
Three days passed like this, and today the top three candidates in the imperial examination were parading through the streets. Jiang Yunzhu had never dreamed of such a grand event, so she decided to go and see it today.
The main thing is that the top scholar is Gu Yanzhou, someone she knows.
The streets were so crowded that it was hard to squeeze in.
Jiang Yunzhu was just wondering whether to watch from a distance or squeeze in when a voice said, "Let's go to the teahouse over there. I've booked a private room."
Jiang Yunzhu turned her head and saw Shen Fengming, who was wearing a black brocade robe and had a tall and graceful figure.
There were so many people that she didn't refuse his kindness.
The two went to the teahouse next door.
This teahouse actually has three stories high. The private room that Shen Fengming booked is in the middle of the third floor. Standing there, he can clearly see what is happening below. Also, because of the railings and paper windows, if the people above don't want to, the people below can't see this place. It is really a great place.
The rental of this box must be very expensive, Jiang Yunzhu thought about it but didn't say it out loud.
She stood there and looked down, watching the sky boiling and the earth shaking.
Shen Fengming was looking at her. She had been busy these days and he couldn't find time to spend some time with her. Now, there were only two of them left.
She seemed to have lost a little weight, but her face looked more radiant.
At this time, gongs and drums were beating in the distance. Here he comes, the number one scholar has arrived. Everyone looked over there, and Jiang Yunzhu also looked over there.
From afar, I saw a group of people riding horses coming, surrounded by red silk and the sound of gongs and drums.
As they got closer, Jiang Yunzhu finally saw the person on the horse clearly.
The leader was wearing a red brocade robe, a black gauze hat, and a red silk scarf. It must be Gu Yanzhou or someone else.
Gu Yanzhou is already outstandingly handsome, as beautiful as clouds and water. Wearing this outfit, he looks like a god descending to earth.
On both sides of him were the runner-up and third place winners, both of whom appeared to be in their twenties. The runner-up was a bit dark, but had a strong face, which combined with his looks made him look handsome in a different way.
The Tanhua scholar is worthy of his title. Although he is not as good as Gu Yanzhou, he is also very handsome.
One can imagine the impact these three talented people have on people on the street.
Everyone was shouting, but I couldn't hear what they were shouting.
"The emperor plans to recruit new people this year, so most of those who pass the examination are young and have no family background." Shen Fengming explained.
Jiang Yunzhu began to understand a little bit. No wonder the top three this year are so young.
She wanted to see it more clearly, so she half leaned forward to take a look.
Gu Yanzhou was sitting on his horse, the center of everyone's attention. He should have been excited, but he was actually very worried at the moment.
This morning, he went to the palace to attend the Qionglin Banquet and met someone.
Shen Fengming.
He was not a grain merchant from the capital at all, but the famous Commander Shen of the Qilin Guard.
So he is in Changshi Village? And Jiang Yunzhu.
Does Jiang Yunzhu know his identity? What does he want to do
Gu Yanzhou couldn't help but worry.
Suddenly, he looked up and saw Jiang Yunzhu standing in a teahouse in front of him on the left, waving at him.
Gu Yanzhou smiled.
But soon, the smile froze.
Shen Fengming was standing behind her. He was sitting on a horse, so she could vaguely see his appearance.
He... Gu Yanzhou stared at Shen Fengming closely.
Shen Fengming noticed his gaze, but didn’t care. He was just looking at the person in front of him.
At the same time, someone was also looking at Shen Fengming.
Xie Chen had also attended the Qionglin Banquet in the teahouse diagonally opposite, so he also knew Shen Fengming's identity.
He was ranked twelfth in the second class. It was rumored that the emperor attached great importance to these candidates this year and wanted to employ them as an exception. Those who wanted to make friends with him naturally treated him as a guest of honor, so he could also stand in the teahouse diagonally opposite.
The person he was most grateful to was Jiang Yunzhu, who was both a friend and a benefactor to him.
Knowing Shen Fengming's identity, knowing that he had been hiding his real name before, and seeing that he was now with Jiang Yunzhu, how could he not worry about Jiang Yunzhu.
The parade team did not move very fast, but they still finished the short distance quickly.
The team slowly disappeared, and the crowd was still reluctant to leave, but they were no longer as excited as before. Everyone was discussing the scene just now and began to slowly disperse.
After watching, Jiang Yunzhu wanted to turn around and go back to the box.
Who knew that Shen Fengming was standing behind her, and she didn't notice and bumped into him directly.
Crashing into a flexible and broad chest.
She subconsciously tried to step back, but a hand grabbed her waist.
"Hmm..." she exclaimed softly.
But the hand squeezed tighter and pulled her into his arms.
"Lord Shen." she called.
The force on his hand increased a little, as if he was unhappy with her calling him that.
Okay, Jiang Yunzhu knew the situation and didn't call him Lord Shen, but could he please let her go first? She felt a little pain in her waist.
Shen Fengming noticed it and let her go, but not completely.
He gently held her waist with his arm, neither hurting her nor letting her leave.
His chin rested against her ear.
"Let me hold you for a while." he said softly.
Perhaps it was because he was speaking in her ear, or perhaps his voice was too soft, Jiang Yunzhu actually heard a hint of hope in it.
Her nose was filled with the scent of his moon-like fragrance, and her ears were almost touching the skin of his chin.
Soon, her earlobes seemed to be stained with red.
Shen Fengming saw it, his dark eyes became deeper, and his arms became stronger. But he quickly let go and just held her like that.
After a while, Jiang Yunzhu pushed him away and the two started talking.
Most of the time they were talking about Jiang Yunzhu. She had rented a shop and had already started decorating it. It would probably be completed in more than half a month.
She will move there then.
After hearing this, Shen Fengming asked, "Will you hire some staff when your store opens?"
"We must hire them." Jiang Yunzhu had thought about this. As for the people from Qishanju, Xue Jing and Gu Qifeng were willing to come to the capital, and Xie Lian would definitely follow Xie Chen. Wherever he went, she would go.
So both she and Qishanju have to hire people.
The matters at Qishanju have now been handed over to Li He, so she doesn't have to worry about them.
Here, she calculated that she would need to hire at least six more people. Her private restaurant was a boutique restaurant, so the service had to keep up.
"I have some people here, why don't you see if they are suitable?" Shen Fengming said.
"Who is it?" Jiang Yunzhu asked. If it was someone from the Qilin Guard, she would not dare to accept him.
Shen Fengming explained that he was a member of the Qilin Guard, but he was not considered one. There were many retired people in the Qilin Guard. They left the Qilin Guard for various reasons. Some of them saw too many unfair things and became more and more depressed, so they had to leave in the end. Some of them encountered various problems during the execution of the mission, and so on.
After they retired, some of them trained new members for the Qilin Guard, some became unruly, and some did nothing.
"You can meet them. If you think it's okay and they are willing, you can let them work in your store." Shen Fengming said, "Don't worry, I won't force them, nor will I force you. I'm just giving you a choice."
"Is this okay?" Jiang Yunzhu was a little worried. Those who retired from the Qilin Guard were all very capable people. Would they be willing to work as clerks in her store
"You will know when you meet them. Actually, this is my selfish desire." Shen Fengming said. If Jiang Yunzhu is willing to hire them, it may be their luck.
