Chapter 254 Shopkeeper, Sun Changzhong
The Huang family was indeed guilty of numerous crimes, and so were the county magistrate and the Yang family. They were all beheaded in front of the people. A large amount of land, shops and other resources confiscated by the government were soon sold publicly. The gentry and wealthy families in Datong County were quickly reshuffled, with some rising and others falling. Yue Ruyan took the opportunity to take over Tianxiang Tower, but Shen Xiangwan did not get involved. They were destined not to stay in Datong County forever, and there was no point in buying more fixed assets.

"coming."

Knowing that they were coming to the county town, Yue Ruyan came over from Huanxi Tower early. The moment she saw the carriage, a smile slowly broke out on her beautiful face, and the maid following her clearly felt her good mood.

"Shut up!"

The leading carriage stopped steadily in front of them, while the remaining carriages carrying goods went around to the back door.

"Like smoke."

Jumping off the carriage, Shen Xiangwan walked towards Yue Ruyan with a smile on his face: "Have you been waiting for a long time? It would be more convenient for you to live in the city. It would be convenient for you to come over anytime."

"No, I just got here a while ago, so go in first."

Including Mu Yunran and Wei Ling'er, their looks, figures and demeanor were so good that they had attracted the attention of many passers-by. Yue Ruyan led them into the shop calmly.

"Well, it's pretty good!"

The shop has been almost renovated. The ceiling has been raised according to Shen Xiangwan's drawings and is decorated with green plants made of silk cloth. Apart from the counter on the left, there are two neat rows of cabinets on the other two walls, one layer after another, in a clear order. There are also three shelves in the middle, but the style is a bit strange. It is a square rectangle covered with a layer of transparent glass, so it is very convenient to choose the goods even if they are displayed inside.

In addition, there is a large floor-to-ceiling window at the door, so passers-by can clearly see the furnishings inside. However, because the store has not yet opened, the floor-to-ceiling window is blocked by a wooden door.

"Sister-in-law, is this where the ointment and soap are kept?"

Touching the shelf, Wei Linger asked puzzledly.

"Ah."

There was no intention of explaining too much. After taking a quick look, Shen Xiangwan went around to the back of the shop. The huge courtyard at the patio had been cleaned up, leaving only the original stone table and stone benches. The other eight rooms, except for the bedroom and the kitchen, the other six had all been converted into warehouses. At this time, the back door was wide open, and people were already carrying ointments and soaps in one after another.

"Have you found a suitable shopkeeper and clerk?"

After looking it over inside and out, Shen Xiangwan sat down on a stone bench in the patio. The perfume shop was different from the bookstore. The latter belonged entirely to the Wei family, so she directly handed it over to Cheng Yusheng. The former was a partnership between her and Yue Ruyan. As early as when they decided to cooperate, they had agreed that she would be responsible for the workshop and Yue Ruyan would be responsible for everything in the shop.

"Already... they are coming!"

Yue Ruyan was about to answer when her eyes glanced at the door and the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Ok?"

Following her line of sight, she saw a man in his thirties walking towards them with a few young men. When he saw them, he immediately quickened his pace and said, "Hello, boss. Why are you here in person?"

"Ah."

Nodding with a smile, Yue Ruyan pointed at Shen Xiangwan and said, "This is Madam Wei. She is also one of the owners. Wanwan, his name is Sun Changzhong, and he will be the shopkeeper of our shop from now on."

"Meet Madam Wei."

Sun Changzhong was also a smart man, and he immediately bowed to her.

"No need to be polite. As long as you can run the shop well and make money for Ruyan and me, we won't treat you unfairly."

Raising her hand, Shen Xiangwan said casually that she was willing to believe in Yue Ruyan's vision in selecting people. "Yes."

Hearing this, Sun Changzhong respectfully stepped aside, ready to be dispatched at any time. Several assistants followed him without daring to breathe. Shen Xiangwan shook her head helplessly: "We have already delivered the first batch of goods. You should go and count and store them first. You don't have to stay here."

"···yes."

Sun Changzhong hesitated for a moment, looked at Yue Ruyan again, and after getting her nod, he bowed and left with his men.

"He is the one my mother left me. He is absolutely loyal to me and is also very good at business."

After watching them leave, Yue Ruyan smiled faintly.

"Well, as long as you think it's reliable."

Shen Xiangwan didn't have any objections. After finishing the work, she pointed at Mu Yunran and said, "Formally introduce them. Her name is Mu Yunran. Her husband's surname is Yan. The Yan family is a noble family like ours, and we have a very close relationship. Yunran is also my friend. And this little girl, her name is Wei Ling'er, she is my sister-in-law. Yunran, Ling'er, her name is Yue Ruyan, she is also my friend."

Shen Xiangwan simply introduced them. In the future, they would interact more and more with each other, so it was indeed necessary for them to get to know each other formally.

"Hello, you can just call me Yunran. Can I call you Ruyan like Wanwan?"

In order to avoid embarrassing her, Mu Yunran took the lead in showing goodwill. When she came, she had heard Wanwan say that Ruyan seemed to care a lot about her identity and was afraid of causing trouble for them.

"Okay, Yunran."

Nodding, Yue Ruyan called out in a polite manner. Before they could exchange pleasantries, Wei Linger came over and took her arm: "Sister Yue, you are so beautiful, as beautiful as my second sister-in-law."

"Haha...Thank you, you are very beautiful too."

Yue Ruyan was amused by her. She could clearly feel the innocence of the little girl. No wonder Wanwan brought her here. She must love this sister-in-law very much, right?
"Whee!"

Wei Linger grinned mischievously: "Sister Yue, can I come to the city to play with you often in the future?"

"this···"

Hearing this, Yue Ruyan couldn't help but hesitate a little, and after a moment she said, "Okay, before you come to the county, send someone to Huanxi Tower to inform me, and we'll meet outside. Don't be like your second sister-in-law and run straight to Huanxi Tower. It's not a place for a little girl like you to dabble in."

"Why do I feel like you are slandering me?"

Hearing her mention her, Shen Xiangwan raised his eyebrows and pretended to be angry.

"You heard all this?"

"Screw you!"

"Hahaha···"

Yue Ruyan did not deny it. The conversation between the two instantly caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the strangeness between them disappeared completely. After laughing and joking, they went to the next door to take a look at the bookstore which had also been renovated. Although Cheng Yusheng would be the shopkeeper himself, he had too many things to do and could not stay in the shop all the time. Only two guys who should live in the shop took them on a tour.
