Chapter 47 Snow Skin Mooncake
Shen You looked at Li Heng who remained silent, as if he was thinking about something, and didn't bother him.
Unexpectedly, when he spoke again, he actually took out an agarwood box with a jade-carved seal inside.
"The objects in the house, no matter how precious they are, are not that rare to Miss Shen."
"This is the seal of the Crown Princess. Zi Heng wants to marry Miss Shen."
Shen You closed the lid of the wooden box with a bang and pushed it across the table,
"Stop it. I've said it before. I came to Daqi just to do business. We just need to maintain a friendly business relationship."
Even though he was mentally prepared, Li Heng still felt disappointed and depressed when he saw her showing no signs of wavering about the seal and drawing a clear line between herself and him.
But at the same time, he felt that she was special. If an ordinary woman received such a promise, she would definitely not be like this.
"Miss Shen, don't you believe me? My heart is happy with you, and it has nothing to do with this shop. I can promise to only marry a girl in my life, and I am willing to share the business with her."
The world?
She's not interested.
Shen You interrupted, "In my eyes, you are just a guest in the shop, nothing more."
"You think I'm special, but it's not that I am different from Daqi women, but that our worlds are different."
"If women from Daqi can also enter the court and have the same rights and ambitions as men, how many people would be willing to be trapped in the back house."
She lives a good life in modern times. She can eat, drink and have fun freely, and see any scenery she wants.
How hard do you have to think about it to get excited about the rights given by others?
She opened a shop with one focus, no emotions, only business.
Rush for money at all costs!
"I believe you are sincere now, but what about the next few decades? If we are together and I don't hand over the shop, can you rest assured?"
What people in high positions and with great power fear most is not having someone take away their power.
And she just had room to operate.
Can a momentary favor be worth the supreme power?
Shen You didn't believe that at all.
After hearing these words, Li Heng's head was pounding and his eyes were glazed over.
He really hadn't thought about these things, and he couldn't say 'don't worry' against his will.
"I will not interfere with your political affairs in Daqi, and we will have no other relationship."
Seeing Shen You's firm look, Li Heng finally took back the seal and said with a wry smile,
"Miss Shen can see clearly that I was abrupt."
Shen You nodded, just understand.
"Can a man who travels with a girl on the day of the temple fair give everything he has to the girl?"
Li Heng asked one more question at the end. There was still a trace of hope and reluctance in his heart.
Shen You was puzzled, how could he even know what happened on the day of the temple fair?
"We just know that person, we met him by chance in the capital, so it's not like that."
Li Heng lowered his eyes. It turned out that it was not because of others, but because of her unwillingness.
Liu Zheng took his things and looked at the door for a while to make sure that the people inside were not talking about anything he shouldn't hear before he came in this time.
"Manager Shen, I saw that you have a piano here but no piano table, so I brought a set over. It's made of rosewood. If it doesn't work, I'll send someone to find a better one."
While speaking, Liu Zheng saw His Highness's disappointed expression and understood a little bit, and did not dare to say anything more.
Shen You came out and took a look. In such a short time, Liu Zheng was able to find a piano table and stools of this quality. It was already very good. She was observing so carefully that even Kotoho, who had just received it this morning and had not yet taken it to the second floor, noticed that she was someone who was involved in official circles.
The other two pieces of porcelain and the entire set of hairpins made of gold wire and precious stones are the same craftsmanship used for the hairpin that Miss Zhao wore for the first time.
It's something from the palace.
"No, these are enough and there are more. If you come back in two days, I will prepare more things for you."
Rosewood furniture is very expensive, plus other things, her 200 sets of raincoats are too few.
"By the way, there's also this. I just arrived today. Among the snacks we have there is a mooncake you haven't seen before."
Shen You brought them three portions. Seeing the surprise in Li Heng's eyes, she quickly added,
"When we celebrate the holidays over there, we always give this to our big customers. This one is for Zhong Jing."
There are only a few customers in her shop, and they don't spend much money. I heard that Boss Huo spent tens of thousands on mooncakes.
Liu Zheng held a beautiful gift box that he had never seen before in his hands. Seeing His Highness's face change again, he couldn't help but be careful when he spoke,
"I would like to thank Shopkeeper Shen on behalf of Mr. Zhong."
The two of them left the shop and sat on their horses.
Li Heng didn't let go of his hand holding the gift box. The attendant asked him to put it away for him, but he didn't let it go.
After a long time, the carriage had walked out of the alley. He slowly opened the box, unpacked it, picked up a crystal clear purple mooncake, and took a bite.
The aroma of taro and just the right amount of sweetness spread instantly.
Li Heng closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
From the first time he entered the shop, she understood everything.
So from the beginning, it was impossible for him to get into Miss Shen's heart.
Perhaps, he just said that he was willing to give up everything and still have the possibility to impress her,
But what he expected was that she would accept the crown princess seal and go with him.
The confidants who followed him out to do things, anyone with long eyes could tell that His Royal Highness was in a bad mood,
Although His Highness has a gentle personality and will not show his anger to others, no one dares to get into trouble, so everyone acts with extra caution.
After Liu Zheng said goodbye to the Prince's Mansion, he went straight to the house where Zhong Jing lived. When delivering the gift box, Zhong Jing was still playing with his bamboo lamp happily.
I am even more happy to see such a beautiful gift box,
"Shopkeeper Shen is so kind. He reminds me of me every time. I will go to the shop to pick up something in two days. Please don't rob me this time."
This box is so beautiful. I don’t know what kind of thing was used to draw the patterns on it. It feels very special in the hand.
This was the first time he saw such a cute image of a jade rabbit, and he would draw one next time.
He must treasure this gift box! Pass it on to your children later.
Zhong Jing was still thinking, and Liu Zhengyu said seriously, "You must not present this gift box to His Highness in the past two days."
Zhong Jing understood what was going on as soon as he heard it,
"If Shopkeeper Shen can stay in our Daqi, I will risk my life to keep her in that position, hey."
But how could such a person be retained in the Imperial Palace of Qi?
Zhong Jing opened a package and looked at it in surprise, "This is the first time I see this kind of crystal clear mooncake. I don't know what it is made of."
"Yeah, I was a little reluctant to eat it just now. The food at Shopkeeper Shen's place is the best,
You said that if you discuss with Shopkeeper Shen, we can make another batch of these snacks and sell them for 100 taels per box, or sell them for 200 taels per box? ”
Liu Zheng said and reached into Zhong Jing's snack box.
"Go, go, go, what do you want to do!" Zhong Jing slapped him away, "Don't steal my snacks!"
"A box of 200 taels only contains 8 snacks. Are you crazy? How could you be taken advantage of like this?"
Liu Zheng thought for a while, "Those aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen might be able to do it if they have money."
