Before Tu Chen left,
She took a closer look at the shop. It was really good.
However, the Jia Zhen and his wife were also good people.
A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a good way.
It was well planned for the girls who served here.
As long as the girls here didn't cause trouble.
With this ability, in the future,
They could also live well.
After the Jia Zhen sent Tu Chen away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Jia Zhen and Xia Lu could finally sit in the same carriage.
The Jia Zhen cried and rubbed against Xia Lu. He began to complain, "The Emperor is particularly excessive, do you know? He instigated me to open a shop to serve men.
He also said that he wanted half of the shares. "
"And then? Do you want to open it? "asked Xia Lu.
"The Emperor has already said so. How can I not open it?" The Jia Zhen curled his lips. Fifty percent.
Half of the profits. The Jia Zhen had already seen the gold flowing in after the shop was opened. Unfortunately,
He had to give half to others.
Just thinking about it made him feel depressed.
The Jia Zhen sighed.
"Since you have to open it,
Why are you sighing? I think the Emperor is kind. If it were someone else, they might split it 20-80, and you would have to take care of it. Now it's only 50-50. It's a profit for us. "Xia Lu patted the Jia Zhen on the back. She knew that he was just complaining in front of her. However, she could understand what the Jia Zhen meant. If someone with ulterior motives heard that the Jia Zhen was not willing to work for the Emperor, the Emperor would probably make things difficult for him." I'm just complaining.
"I know, I'm just complaining. In fact, it's good that His Majesty is involved. Our Jia family is one of the top families in the capital, but there are families more powerful than our Jia family. When the time comes, if they want to do something improper in our shop, we can use His Majesty's name." Jia Zhen expressed that this was also good. At least, when the relatives of the emperor knew that His Majesty had shares in the shop, they would have to think twice before doing anything.
After returning home, Jia Zhen began to think about the proposal for the store.
When Xia Lu came to call him to sleep, he saw that the Jia Zhen was still frowning.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Xia Lu picked up the paper in front of the Jia Zhen and looked at it. He had already written the proposal for the female customers' store, but the proposal for the male customers' store was only a few strokes. Xia Lu understood that the Jia Zhen had encountered a problem.
"For female customers, we mainly sell rouge and face powder. What about male customers? It has to be something special, right? "Jia Zhen frowned. If it was just massaging her body, it might feel fresh once or twice. However, if it happened too many times, it wouldn't feel fresh anymore. At that time, they might as well find someone to massage their body.
Xia Lu looked at the Jia Zhen. He did not expect the Jia Zhen to be so smart. Xia Lu immediately thought of modern entertainment halls and said, "Let's add some performances and toys inside."
"Huh?" The Jia Zhen was puzzled and motioned for Xia Lu to continue.
"We have to make the store bigger and divide it into upper and lower floors. We have to leave an open space in the middle and build a stage for the male customers to enjoy the service while listening to the opera. After passing through the back door, we can also build some rooms for people to live in. The scenery in the rooms will be better. Then, they can fish, play chess, recite poems, draw and play the zither. Didn't our family get those toys for Lian Er and the others? We can also move there and build a big yard for the people living there to play. If the place is big enough, we can also build a casino. We won't gamble on anything else but cuju and equestrian skills. "Xia Lu spread out a piece of rice paper on the desk and then marked out the things he said one by one to make a simple plan.
Jia Zhen widened his eyes and looked at the things Xia Lu marked out. After a moment of silence, he suddenly burst into laughter. He hugged Xia Lu and said, "Wife, you are so smart. Why didn't I think of it? I don't believe that when the time comes, no one will be able to compete with me for business. "Jia Zhen could already see small amounts of money coming at him like raindrops.
"Because you are stupid. If I am not smarter, what will happen to our family?" Xia Lu shook her head and shamelessly accepted Jia Zhen's compliments.
Jia Zhen did not mind at all and said, "Wife, go to sleep. I will get this thing out first and then go to sleep." Jia Zhen was very excited. He could not wait to get the things on the plan out.
Xia Lu looked at Jia Zhen. She did not expect Jia Zhen to be a hidden workaholic. Forget it. Looking at how excited Jia Zhen was, he probably would not be able to sleep now. It was better to let him get it out himself. "Okay, go to bed early after you are done. You have to go to court tomorrow on the first day of the New Year. You have to wake up early," Xia Lu reminded him.
"Don't worry, I know what I am doing." Jia Zhen was thinking about the shop now.
Xia Lu shrugged. Jia Zhen was still very young. It should not be a problem for him to stay up all night. Looking at the excited Jia Zhen, she asked the servant to remind him to go to sleep when it was time. Then she went to the bedroom to rest. Tomorrow, when Jia Zhen went to court, she had to take care of the children alone. It was very tiring, okay?
"Master, it is the middle of the night. You should go to sleep." Zi He looked at the Jia Zhen who was still writing hard behind the desk. She felt a little helpless. She had already urged him twice, but Jia Zhen still did not go to sleep. Later, Jia Zhen would have to get up and go to court. Even if he lay down now, he would not be able to sleep for more than a few hours.
"I know. Go to sleep quickly." Jia Zhen rubbed his eyes. It was time to finalize the draft. He could go to sleep after copying it once.
Zi He was helpless. Sure enough, only Madam had a way to deal with Jia Zhen.
Jia Zhen copied the proposal on the memorial and carefully checked it. After finding that there were no problems, she signed off at the back of the memorial. After putting away the memorial, she stretched her back and asked, "What time is it?"
"It is already a quarter to one," Zi He said quickly.
Jia Zhen got up and walked to the bedroom. With the help of the only candle in the distance, he looked at Xia Lu who was sleeping soundly on the bed. He thought for a while and whispered, "Bring Jia Zhen a quilt. Jia Zhen will make do with the soft bed." Jia Zhen thought for a while. He had to get up at three in the morning. Now he could not sleep for more than four hours. If he woke up, he would disturb his wife. It was better to sleep on the soft bed.
"The soft bed is too cold. Jia Zhen should sleep on the bed." Although it was already spring, it was still quite cold at night. How could Jia Zhen sleep on the soft bed?
"It's okay. Go get it." Jia Zhen said. He had practiced Kung Fu for so many years, so he still had some firepower. He was really considerate. When his wife woke up, he must ask her to make snacks for him. When he thought of his wife making snacks for those little brats, he felt a little unhappy.
"Yes." Zi He had no choice but to go get a quilt and put it on the Jia Zhen.
Not long after, Jia Zhen was woken up by Zi He. Jia Zhen rubbed his groggy head and pulled himself together to go to court.
Jia Zhen was a little sleepy because he did not sleep well last night and had to listen to the trivial state affairs of the officials. In the end, he could not stand it anymore. He hid behind a nobleman who was taller than him and began to close his eyes to rest. He thought to himself, "Next time, I will definitely not stay up late, especially when I have to go to court the next day. It's too tiring."
Jia Zhen thought that his movements were hidden, but Tu Chen, who was sitting above, saw it at a glance. He looked at the Jia Zhen sleeping standing up and shook his head. Forget it. Considering that he had schemed against him yesterday, he would not argue with him this time. However, this person was also very powerful. He could sleep standing up. What did he do yesterday? Tu Chen thought about the relationship between Jia Zhen and his wife. Suddenly, his thoughts went astray. After all, they were still young and dry. Wasn't he sleepy today?
Tu Chen's thoughts were not pure. It was obvious that he was bored by the officials who quarreled like a vegetable market because of a small matter. It was not so easy to be the Emperor. Tu Chen sat on the dragon throne and was bored to death. He also wanted to close his eyes and sleep like Jia Zhen, but he could not do such a thing.
It was not easy for the court to be dismissed, but Jia Zhen was called by Tu Chen again.
Jia Zhen originally wanted to submit the memorial. When he heard that the Emperor had summoned him, he thought to himself, "This time it's quite timely." So Jia Zhen followed Dai Quan to the Imperial Study.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Jia Zhen saw the Emperor and quickly knelt down to salute.
"Rise," Tu Chen said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jia Zhen stood up with the memorial in his sleeve. He stood here today with extra confidence.
"Dear Official Jia, did you sleep well just now?" Tu Chen asked.
"Er …" Jia Zhen was a little confused by the Emperor's sudden words. For a moment, he did not know how to answer. When he came back to his senses, Jia Zhen quickly knelt down again and said in a panic, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. This official was just working on the operation plan of the store yesterday. I didn't sleep well last night, so I felt a little sleepy."
"I don't blame you. Those officials quarreled like that over a small matter. I also feel sleepy. Show me the operation plan you made." The Emperor was a little curious. He did not expect Jia Zhen to be so fast. It was only one night, but he could get the plan out. He could not be fooling around.
"Yes." Jia Zhen took out the memorial from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.
Zhang Sheng walked over from the Emperor's side and handed the memorial to the Emperor with both hands.
"Get up, Zhang Sheng. Bring a chair for Jia Zhen." Tu Chen naturally intended to let Jia Zhen see the plan he made when he was here. If he had any doubts, he could ask Jia Zhen on the spot, and Jia Zhen could immediately answer him. If he had any ideas, he could leave and tell Jia Zhen. In this way, it would be faster.
