When Yan Qing and Yan Xiu heard that the visitor was the Dugu family of Zhao State, they couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.

Shu'er saw that the "young master" was about thirty years old, and his every move and smile was elegant and flawless. He already knew in his heart that the person coming was most likely Dugu Qing, the younger sister of King Zhao Dugujue, the girl who ranked third on the beauty list but was always waiting to be married.

Princess Zhao. Shu'er couldn't help but relax. He guessed that this Princess Zhao was probably bored in her boudoir and went to Chen Guofan's capital to buy rouge and gouache.

Shu'er said with a smile: "Young master, you've been rewarded. I and my cousin Su Ying are just lucky. We have the Queen Empress taking care of us in business, and everything we do is based on genuine goods, so we are able to establish ourselves in the business world of Chen State so far."

Duguqing said: "Boss Yan is being humble. If he only uses the royal family to take care of him and believes in genuine goods, then why can no one of the nephews of the Chen royal family be able to do business in every corner of the Chen country within three to five years? Boss Yan and your younger brother must be sure.

Only with extraordinary talent and hard work can we become the richest man in Chen country from scratch. I don’t want to waste Boss Yan’s time, so I explain my intention straight to the point. I am here to invite Boss Yan and his younger brother to Zhao on the order of Brother Wang.

Brother Wang also invited other wealthy businessmen from the four kingdoms of Chen, Song, Chu, and Shu to gather in Liangcheng, Zhao State. At that time, Brother Wang would give questions to the merchants present and offer rewards.

Zhao Guo Sheji has useful business strategies. Merchants from various countries can also use this opportunity to get to know each other and expand cooperation. I wonder if Boss Yan is interested?"

Shu'er knew what an honor it was for the Princess of Zhao to come and invite her in person. It was a rare opportunity, but it was disrespectful. He immediately replied: "Thanks to the love of King Zhao. Thank you for the invitation. I will arrive at Pingliang as scheduled."

Duguqing took out an invitation from his sleeve, handed it to Shu'er, and said, "This is the invitation written by Brother Wang himself. See you at Zhao Palace in Pingliang on the second day of next month."

Shu'er took the invitation with both hands and saw that the handwriting on the post was vigorous and had a unique and proud charm. It seemed to be written by a master of calligraphy. He couldn't help but have some respect for King Zhao. Shu'er said: "Since the young master has come to our Bi Liangzhuang in person

Shop, why don't you let me give you some cosmetics as gifts? Can you please come with me to the store to choose?"

Duguqing smiled gently and said: "I have long heard that Biliang cosmetics are very popular in the Chen Kingdom. From the royal ladies to the women next door, everyone is very fond of Biliang cosmetics. I should buy some back.

"So I followed Shu'er to the store to choose.

There were elderly women and young girls, young ladies from rich families, and maids from the government who were choosing cosmetics in the shop. All of them applied various kinds of makeup, heavy or light makeup, and were all dressed up very delicately. Only Dugu Qing

, dressed in men's clothing, without makeup, but with an air of luxury. She looked carefully in the hall, picked up a few cosmetics, then queued alone at the end of the line, and paid the bill with everyone in the store.

Shu'er wanted to take the cosmetics from Duguqing's hand, hold them for her, stretched out her hand and said, "Young Master, there is no need to queue up. These items are not expensive. Just treat them as small gifts from me and I will wrap them up for you."

"

Duguqing did not give the cosmetics to Shu'er, but said with a smile: "Boss Yan, I have never been to a store to buy rouge and gouache in person. How about you just wait in line and pay like everyone else?" After saying that, he lowered his head to play with the selection.

of several cosmetics, saying: "Actually, I don't lack rouge and gouache, but these boxes are very beautiful. No matter the patterns, words, textures, and shapes, they are all unique and ingenious, making people unable to put them down. I heard that these cosmetic boxes are all from

It is rare for your brother, Boss Su, to have such a skillful craftsman with such attainments in calligraphy and painting techniques. I am afraid that the calligraphy and painting list written by Brother Wang will soon include Boss Su’s masterpieces. Please also ask Boss Yan to convey, Boss Su

If I have time, I will definitely come to Pingliang to get together."

After sending away the unexpected Princess Duguqing of Zhao State, Shu'er spent most of the day checking the accounts in the store to see that everything was correct, and said: "Yan Qing, Yan Xiu, you are smart and agile, and you are also meticulous and rigorous in your work. If one day,

Brother Ying and I are gone. You, Su Yang, and Su Liu will definitely be able to take care of the property of the Yan family and the Su family. The property of our Yan family and the Su family will be divided in half, and half will be given to Aunt Su and Brother Ying.

The other half will be divided equally, half will be given to Aunt Yan and Uncle Zhao Qi, and the other half will be given to you two, Su Yang and Su Liu. In this way, I can rest assured."

Yan Qing asked in confusion: "Is Sister Shu'er going to travel far away again?"

Yan Xiu said: "The Kingdom of Zhao is not far away. Sister Shu'er has even been to the Kingdom of Shu and became friends with the eccentric King of Shu. Could it be that Pingliang of the Kingdom of Zhao is more terrifying than Xiling of the Kingdom of Shu?"

Shu'er shook his head and said: "It's not the State of Zhao, but the State of Song..."

In the evening, Shu'er and Lin Ying came to the upstairs of Fanjing Old City to drink and talk.

Lin Ying said: "Sister Shu'er, I didn't accompany you last time I went to Shu. This time I'm going to Zhao. It won't take long, so let me go with you!"

Shu'er nodded and said: "When I went to Shu State, our business was still supported by the two of us, so naturally you couldn't go with me. This time when I went to Zhao State, all the business in Chen State was taken care of by its own shopkeepers.

With Uncle Zhao Qi in charge, there is no need for you to stay in person. Yan Qing, Yan Xiu, Su Yang, and Su Liu have all grown up and are reliable and trustworthy. You may as well come with me to Zhao Kingdom to see the world, otherwise I will wait for you to return one day.

When you go to Chu State, if you ascend the throne of Chu King, it will not be that easy to travel around other countries."

Lin Ying smiled and said: "Thank you for your good advice from Sister Shu'er. My father has won several battles recently. The Kingdom of Chu has been falling apart for more than ten years. Rumors say that my father will finally unify Chu."

Shu'er asked: "Why doesn't your father let you go back?"

Lin Ying said: "My father probably planned to wait for him to secure his position before letting me go back. This would be safer and more secure."

Shu'er said: "Since your father is already sure of victory, why don't you go back and help him. In this way, it will be natural for you to inherit the throne in the future, and no one will be dissatisfied. It happened that this time at the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce, I heard that Zhao

The king has also invited merchants from the Song Kingdom. When we make a few Song merchants, we can sneak into the Song Kingdom. It will be easy for you to take the official route from the Song Kingdom to Shengwang County in the Chu Kingdom."

Lin Ying said: "This is the best. If we can successfully enter Song from Zhao, won't you also be able to fulfill your wish of returning to Song to visit relatives?"

Shu'er sighed: "I hid again and again, and delayed again and again. Back then I could use the excuse that customs clearance documents were rare, but now the King of Zhao has handed me a handwritten invitation asking me to go to Pingliang to offer advice. How can I do it again?"

Do you want to be a coward? Sooner or later, the Song Dynasty will have to go back and take a look."

Lin Ying looked at Qingyu and Yifeng who were standing in the distance guarding the "Lord of Xiling", and asked: "When do you plan to go to His Highness the King of Shu's three-year appointment?"

Shu'er said: "In the past three years, the King of Shu has helped us secretly many times in our business. Many times, I thought that things that could not be negotiated were inexplicably accomplished after a few days. The help during this period was probably only

The power of the King of Shu can do it. Since I promised to give it to him the King Huai Sword you bought me, and he has kept his promise to help me get rich, I must go to Zichuan in person to give him the sword. But I'm afraid
