Chapter 831 It’s inevitable to win "Have breakfast first. There is no rush to register." He Funing nodded: "Yes, Brother Chengwen, have you had breakfast?" Liu Chengwen said honestly: "I ate, but I was in a hurry and only had a bun to eat." Not full. "Let's share some. I'll go to East Third Street with you later." Yan Funing said. "Alright." The three of them walked towards the dining room. While having breakfast, both cold wind and cold shadows appeared. The two of them no longer avoided others and bowed to Fu Ciyi, saying, "Sir." Fu Ciyi said calmly: "Prince Jin already knows some things. The main reason I asked you to come here is to protect the safety of the mansion." "My subordinate understands."
Both of them said in unison. Yan Fu stared at them and said, "The scar is better now. Have you applied the ointment on time?" "Madam, we must apply it twice a day. We must not forget." Leng Feng said. Hearing the unfamiliar voices, Wan Niang asked her eldest son, "Who are they?" "Mom, they are the ones who saved me from the fire that year." Fu Ciyi explained calmly, his expression also indifferent. Only Yan Funing knew that he must feel uncomfortable every time he talked about this. Wan Niang nodded: "Good, good man." "Princess, we are the prince's people. The prince saved our brothers' lives. Whatever we do is our duty." Leng Ying said. Fu Ciyi said: "My mother is blind and has lost her memory, so I won't mention her past identity." "So that's the case." Leng Feng Leng Ying was surprised, "I understand." After breakfast, Fu Ciyi went to the Hanlin Academy. Yan Funing took Caiyu, Fu Jiang and Liu Chengwen to East Third Street. Inside Chengwen Building, seeing Yan Funing coming over, Liu Song hurriedly greeted her: "My daughter is finally here. Fufeng Restaurant is bidding, the reserve price is 10,000 taels of silver. Shall we join in?" "I will participate." Yan Funing frowned and thought, "The prince will definitely want to buy it back. If so, the price will only continue to go up. We must prepare enough money." Liu Song raised his hand, and the accountants came over in unison. Yan Funing said: "In the past few months, there should be sufficient funds on the books." The accountant in charge said, "Miss, in the past few months, Chengwen Building has made the most profit, followed by the clothing store and the jade shop. The other shops are new and the profits are not that great yet. But after adding up all these factors, apart from the funds needed to operate the entire East Third Street, there are still 50,000 taels of silver left to purchase the Fufeng Restaurant." Liu Song sighed, "The main reason is that all the shops on East Third Street are newly opened this year. If the bidding for Fufeng Restaurant is delayed by one or two years, we will have more money on hand and it will be much easier to handle."
"We must buy the Fufeng Restaurant to prevent the prince from using the restaurant's name to commit evil deeds. If you don't have enough money, I will find a way." Yan Funing said. At worst, I can just take out my own private money. It’s just that those gold ingots looked so beautiful that she couldn’t bear to part with them. Liu Song nodded: "I feel relieved when my daughter said this." Yan Funing looked at Liu Chengwen and said, "Brother Chengwen, I have seen your performance in East Third Street over the past few days. It is really a waste of your talent for you to follow me as a guard." "Sister, what kind of talent do I have?" Liu Chengwen blushed rarely. Yan Funing smiled: "Brother Chengwen always said that he didn't like the restaurant business, but now I find that you are good at overall planning and coordination. I plan to let you manage the business of the entire East Third Street in the future." "Really? Sister, I'm scared if you leave it to me like this." "Originally, this job was to be done by my third brother, but he is now busy with official duties and can't spare time. Besides, he is in a public office and is not suitable for doing business. I can't come to East Third Street every day, and Brother Chengwen is also my brother. I will naturally feel relieved if I leave this matter to you. Of course, I will also manage it myself. Let's work together to manage East Third Street well." "Okay, I will follow my sister and do business well." Liu Chengwen agreed excitedly. "You should go to Jingzhao Prefecture right now and register under the name of East Third Street." "Okay, I'll go right away." Liu Chengwen walked out quickly. Liu Song and He were very pleased to see their son taking on responsibilities. "Thank you for thinking about this brat." He held Yan Funing's hand and kept thanking her. "Aunt, you are too polite. I originally wanted to let Brother Chengwen go to Lord Fu's side, but unfortunately Lord Fu is not short of people now. The most important thing is that we need talents in East Third Street. Brother Chengwen is good in skills and has a quick mind, so it's just right for him to stay in East Third Street." After talking for a few more words, Yan Funing went to the jade shop. "It's so cold today, why are you here, young lady?" Yang Shu greeted her warmly. Zheng poured out hot tea and Yang Yutang brought out snacks. "I just want to tell you that I plan to bid for Fufeng Restaurant. If I succeed, I will give you some shares. It's not much, but just a token of my appreciation." "That's great!" Yang Shu said excitedly, "The Fufeng Restaurant is built there, it's impossible to tear it down. The young lady did a great job!" Yan Funing smiled faintly: "If it succeeds, I will also give certain shares to the people whose houses were originally occupied by Fufeng Restaurant. If they want to work in the restaurant, they will be given priority. I don't know these people, I hope Manager Yang can help me talk to them." "Okay, leave it to us." Yang Shu agreed immediately. Caiyu added: "The main reason is that the prince is also bidding now, so my lady's chances of winning are slim." "The prince is wealthy, and if the price keeps going up, the chances of winning are slim." Yang Yutang murmured, "But Jingzhao Prefecture will definitely give the natives some face." He turned to look at Yang Shu: "Dad, let's convey the young lady's intention to all the neighbors." In this way, the lady has a greater chance of winning the bid. Yan Funing drank some tea, ate some snacks, walked around the counter, and suddenly saw a lot of small jade swords piled up in the corner of the counter.
"Have you done so much?" She picked it up and played with it happily. "I made a lot, but I didn't sell any." Yang Shu shook his head and sighed. "I'll take them all and give them away." Yan Funing smiled. "However much money there is in total, put it all in my account." "How can this be possible?" "Remember what needs to be remembered." Yan Funing persisted, examining a small jade sword carefully. The Yang family once said that they were unable to find Xiao Ajian's body, so there is a certain possibility that Xiao Ajian is still alive. But it’s difficult to find someone in such a huge sea of people. It is said that many people around Fu Ciyi were rescued from the mass grave. She took these small jade swords to ask them, perhaps there would be some clues. Even if there are no clues, it is appropriate for the guards to send Xiao Yujian to someone. Thinking of this, she handed the knife in her hand to Fu Jiang: "Here you go." "Young Madam, are you really going to give me this exquisite little jade sword?" Fu Jiang was surprised. "Yes." Yan Funing nodded. "Did you have such a small jade sword when you were a child, or have you heard people mention it?" Fu Jiang took the small jade sword, looked at it carefully, and shook his head, saying, "I didn't have such exquisite things when I was young, and I never heard anyone mention it. We were all children from poor families and couldn't afford to wear jade."
