Chapter 1846 An unexpected gain
Yan Ruyu stood across the alley and looked up.
Hundreds of small goods.
This plaque is quite old, and it can be seen that this is an old store. There are many customers in front of the door, all of them are ordinary people.
It is easy to make money from rich people, but when selling goods to ordinary people, we rely on high quality, low price and large quantity to win.
The fact that it has been able to last for many years shows that the goods in this store must be complete and the quality cannot be too bad.
When Yan Ruyu entered the store, many people recognized her and came over to greet her.
The shop owner was a young girl named Mao Xiaowei. When she saw Yan Ruyu, she was excited and enthusiastic.
She has a round face with some baby fat, round eyes, and slightly curly hair. She looks like a cute little fat cat.
Yan Ruyu had a good first impression of her.
"Princess, do you have any instructions?" Mao Xiaowei asked seriously, "The bailiffs came here just now, and I know something happened. Don't worry, we don't do anything illegal."
Yan Ruyu asked with a smile: "Why are you called Mao Xiaowei?"
She curved her eyebrows and said, "Because I have three brothers, I am the youngest, a little tail, so my father named me Xiaowei."
"What about your three brothers?"
"They all have their own things to do. My father said that men should be self-reliant. Let them make a living on their own. This small shop at home is given to me to manage."
Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised. This father was really open-minded.
"Let's talk somewhere else?"
There are too many people here.
"Okay, come with me."
Yan Ruyu followed Mao Xiaowei to the small room inside. The room was quiet and there was a small window. The sunlight shone in and filled the whole room.
There was a small bed in the room, which was clean and tidy and looked soft. There was a cat at the end of the bed, sleeping soundly.
Mao Xiaowei moved a stool and asked Yan Ruyu to sit down.
Yan Ruyu felt a little more relaxed in this room.
"Is this where you usually rest?"
"Yes," Mao Xiaowei stroked the sleeping cat, "This cat was given to me by my eldest brother. My second brother helped me decorate the house, and my third brother made the windows for me and pasted them with paper. This kind of paper is very good. It lets light in even when the weather is bad."
"My mother made the quilt for me. I rest here when I'm tired."
Yan Ruyu felt a little warmed at heart when she heard this.
She took out the hairpin and said, "I came to you today to ask for your help. Take a look at this."
Mao Xiaowei stared with eyes wide open: "Hey, this is my hairpin."
"This hairpin was definitely made by my family. My second brother is a great painter, and he helped me draw the picture, there's no doubt about it."
Yan Ruyu asked: "Do you remember who bought this hairpin?"
Mao Xiaowei observed it carefully again and said, "Remember, there are a total of fifteen hairpins made here. This one is the most special because this cat's eye stone is of good quality and the right size. After a little polishing, it was inlaid on it."
"The other fourteen are all other stones, some are pearls, but this one is a cat's eye."
"It was bought by the second sister of the Yu family."
"The second sister of the Yu family?" Yan Ruyu was stunned.
Although I didn't ask the deceased's name yesterday, I intuitively felt that the name didn't quite match the deceased.
"The eldest brother of the Yu family is a friend of my eldest brother. He works in a grain store. He has a younger sister who is older than me. Her name is Yu Xiaoran. We all call her the second sister of the Yu family."
Yan Ruyu originally thought that the hairpin belonged to the deceased, but unexpectedly, it belonged to the deceased's sister-in-law.
"Did Yu Xiaoran buy it as a gift for her sister-in-law?" Yan Ruyu asked.
"No, Yu Xiaoran came with her sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law bought it for her."
Mao Xiaowei added: "They have a good relationship as sisters-in-law. Sister-in-law Yu often buys things for Xiaoran."
Yan Ruyu took back her hairpin, looking thoughtful.
"Yu Xiaoran, do you have an in-law family?"
Mao Xiaowei thought about it and said, "I haven't heard of it. If there is, we will definitely know about it."
"Why?"
Mao Xiaomao blinked: "Xiao Ran will tell you. Every time she comes to the store, she will talk about this and that, about their family affairs."
"But," she paused.
"how?"
Mao Xiaowei thought for a moment and said, "Princess, I don't want to talk about people behind their backs."
She had a sincere look on her face, her big eyes twinkling. The cat on the bed woke up, yawned, stretched, came over and rubbed her arm, purring in its throat.
Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "It's okay. This doesn't count as you talking behind my back. I asked you this on my own initiative. Besides, it's very important. You can help me."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of jerky.
The cat's eyes suddenly lit up, and it came over, looked up at her, and sniffed.
Yan Ruyu passed the dried meat to its mouth: "Eat it."
The cat couldn't resist the temptation and took the jerky and ate it in big mouthfuls.
Mao Xiaowei felt a little embarrassed when he saw his cat eating other people's dried meat.
"Xiao Ran is very ambitious. Every time she comes to me to buy something, she tells me how much dowry her family has prepared for her and what kind of person she wants to marry."
Yan Ruyu thought to herself that it was probably not because he was arrogant or he was not close to her, but because he was jealous that she had parents who loved her and a brother who took care of her. Although this shop was not particularly big, it should make a lot of money. For ordinary people, it should be enough to live a life without worries about food and clothing.
Generally, family businesses will be inherited by sons, but the Mao family gave the shop to their daughter, which is very rare.
Yu Xiaoran was jealous but couldn't say it directly, so she could only show off through this silent comparison.
Mao Xiaowei is straightforward and cute, and she probably didn't see through Yu Xiaoran's thoughts at all.
Mao Xiaowei pursed his lips, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.
Yan Ruyu groaned and lowered her voice: "Don't worry, no matter what you said, this princess will not let anyone know, it was you who said it."
"Xiaowei, do you know that the eldest sister-in-law of the Yu family died?"
Mao Xiaowei's eyes widened: "What...?"
"If she hadn't died, the bailiff wouldn't have come, and this princess wouldn't have come either."
"So, what I'm saying now is that this princess is not idle and has nothing to do but to pry into other people's affairs. Everything you say, as long as it is true, is useful."
Mao Xiaowei's face tightened and became serious, and he nodded immediately: "I understand."
"Then I'll tell you, and I promise it's the truth."
Mao Xiaowei thought for a moment and said seriously, "That day I accidentally saw Xiao Ran and a man together, coming out of an alley. Although I was not there and they disappeared in a flash, I am sure it was Xiao Ran."
"By the way," Mao Xiaomao continued, "she was also wearing a pair of earrings in the shape of a camellia, very beautiful. I wanted to ask her where she bought them, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"Camellia?" Yan Ruyu's heart moved slightly.
"Yes," Mao Xiaomao stood up and took out a map from the drawer of the small desk.
"Princess, please look, this is it."
"I thought it was beautiful that day and I have never forgotten it. After I got home, I described it to my second brother and asked him to draw it for me."
They are indeed flower-shaped earrings. If they can be made well, they will definitely be good.
Camellia, flower?
Is it...
"Did you see that man clearly?" Yan Ruyu asked.
Mao Xiaowei shook his head: "No, but he was dressed very elegantly, in a fine silk garment, and with a belt with a jade pendant."
