Gu Yundong smiled and went forward. "You must be Sister-in-law Yu. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting."
"Sister Gu, please don’t say that. I ca to disturb you without telling you in advance. Please don’t take offense."
"How co?"
"I saw that you guys had just moved in, so I ca to take a look. I wanted to co over a few days ago, but I saw that you guys went out early in the morning and looked very busy, so I didn’t co. You didn’t go out today, so I made so bean buns at ho for you to try. Don’t despise them."
Mrs. Yu pushed the basket on the table forward and smiled.
Gu Yundong hurriedly smiled. "How can I do that? I’ve troubled Sister-in-law Yu."
"Sigh, we’ll be neighbors in the future. There’s no need to worry. I see that you’ve just arrived. If you need any help in the future, just look for us."
Gu Yundong nodded. "Then I won’t stand on ceremony."
"There’s no need to stand on ceremony. By the way, where are you guys from?"
Gu Yundong saw that she looked like she wanted to chat and felt a little helpless. However, the other party did not have any ill intentions. She also wanted to understand the situation in Hetai Alley, so she chatted with her.
"We ca from the Xuanhe Prefecture."
"Xuanhe Prefecture? That’s far away. It’s your first ti in the capital, so you have to be more careful. People will freeze to death in another ten days or so. You have to prepare the charcoal first, or your lives won’t be easy."
"Alright, thank you for your reminder, Sister-in-law."
Mrs. Yu waved her hand. "What kind of reminder is that? I was just saying. By the way, what are you guys doing in the capital? Is your man preparing to participate in the imperial examination?"
Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. You think too much.
It was not the ti to co to the capital to participate in the imperial examination. Moreover, Hetai Alley was lively and noisy. It was not suitable for students to buy a house and live there.
Gu Yundong smiled. "No, we’re just here to open a small shop and do so small business."
"I see." Mrs. Yu nodded. She knew what to do. "Then I have to tell you first. It’s not easy to do business in the capital, especially opening a shop. It’s best to find a backer. Otherwise, soone will find trouble."
"Right..." Gu Yundong frowned. Mrs. Yu was right.
Whether it was in Fengkai County or the Xuanhe Prefecture, she did have soone backing her up.
Although the shop in the capital was also in partnership with Madam Dai, Nie Shuang, and the others, most of their forces were in the Xuanhe Prefecture.
Moreover, there were too many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital. Her milk tea shop was unique. Who knew how many people would covet it?
She had no foundation in the capital. If she opened her business rashly, she would easily beco a fat piece of at in the eyes of others.
Yes, she had to find a backer, and one that no one dared to provoke.
Gu Yundong began to choose suitable candidates in her mind. In the end... she thought of Qin Wenzheng.
Well, he was indeed a big tree here.
According to Nie Cong, Qin Wenzheng had just arrived in the capital when he was promoted to the Assistant Minister of Official Personnel Affairs by the emperor.
In the past, Qin Wenzheng was only a small official in the Hanlin Academy. His position imdiately skipped a few levels when the new emperor ascended the throne, and it shocked many people.
Of course, there were also people in the royal court who were unconvinced. However, Qin Wenzheng’s na was already famous. The things he had done for the emperor in the past had been suppressed. Now that they had all been exposed, these incidents added up to more rit than many officials did in the royal court. If anyone was unconvinced, they could compete.
