The moonlight is like water, and the silver glow is falling.

Linglong walked carefully through the corridor, feeling uneasy and holding the twenty taels of gold tightly in her arms.

She walked quietly to Shen Nianshu's window, and when she saw no one was around, she gently knocked on the window lattice.

Linglong smiled slightly and handed over the gold in her hand.

" Concubine Shu, please excuse me." Linglong whispered.

Shen Nianshu's figure was looming in the moonlight. She stretched out her slender fingers and steadily took the twenty taels of gold.

"Linglong, tell your mother-in-law to come here in person the day after tomorrow."

After Linglong left.

Shen Nianshu gently closed the window, the coolness of the twenty taels of gold still lingering on her fingertips. She turned around and walked back into the house, but her heart was calm.

Caiwei and Pearl looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. Pearl opened her mouth, but she didn't know where to start. She just stared at Shen Nianshu blankly.

Shen Nianshu smiled softly, walked to the table and sat down, poured a cup of tea and tasted it slowly.

"This is really worth twenty taels of gold." Caiwei finally spoke, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

Shen Nianshu suddenly had an idea.

If you open a store selling balm, wouldn't it be a huge profit? After all, this is different from the ones on the market.

Shen Nianshu gently put down the teacup and looked at the moonlight outside the window, with a plan in mind.

She stood up, walked to the bed, slowly lay down, folded her hands on her chest, and closed her eyes.

Caiwei and Pearl looked at each other and smiled, knowing that she had made a decision, so they asked no more questions. The two of them quietly extinguished the lights and went to bed to rest.

The night was getting darker, the moonlight was shining like water on Shen Nianshu's bedroom, and everything seemed so peaceful. Shen Nianshu was lying on the bed, but her heart was filled with ups and downs and thousands of thoughts.

She thought about the twenty taels of gold and her future plans, and a smile appeared on her lips.

As soon as it got dark, Shen Nianshu woke up early. She opened the window and took a deep breath of fresh air, filled with anticipation.

Returning to the bed, she gently took out the purse hidden under the pillow, opened it and saw that there was a lot of broken silver in it, which she had saved in her daily life.

She gently stroked the money with a satisfied smile on her face.

This money, plus the twenty taels of gold from last night, is enough for her to open a balm shop of her own .

She had already sketched out the appearance of the store in her mind: exquisite decoration, elegant fragrance, and rows of shelves displaying various kinds of balms.

Shen Nianshu frowned slightly, thinking about the store manager's problem.

She knows that choosing a reliable person to manage the store is crucial.

This person must not only have sufficient intelligence and ability, but also be loyal to her to ensure the smooth operation of the store.

Several familiar faces flashed through her mind, but she quickly shook her head.

Although these people are capable, she cannot completely trust them. After all, trade secrets and store operations are in the hands of managers. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.

Shen Nianshu sighed softly, this problem is really difficult. She stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the sky outside the window.

After all, no matter where you are or what you do, money is very important.

Therefore, she must do a good job in this business.

Site selection, decoration, and store clerks are all very important.

Suddenly, Pearl and Caiwei came over with medicine , and they walked into the palace quietly with a mysterious smile on their faces.

"Empress, it's time to drink the medicine." Pearl handed the medicine bowl to Shen Nianshu, with a hint of concern in her eyes.

Shen Nianshu took the medicine bowl and blew it gently, and a faint medicinal fragrance hit her nostrils. She took a sip, frowned slightly, and then relaxed.

"This medicine seems a little different from usual?" Shen Nianshu looked up at Pearl and Caiwei , with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Caiwei explained with a smile, "My Lady, this is a prescription specially prepared for you to regulate your body. It is said that drinking it can make people refreshed and their complexion rosy."

After Shen Nianshu finished drinking, she put down the medicine bowl and felt a warm current in her heart. She knew that although these two people usually kept silent, they always cared about her silently.

She looked at the pearl and suddenly had an idea in her mind. Pearl is smart, has a tight mouth, and is a trustworthy person. Perhaps, she could hand over the management of the store to Pearl.

Thinking of this, Shen Nianshu smiled slightly, took Pearl's hand, and said softly, "Zhenzhu, I have an idea to discuss with you."

She whispered, "Mother, please speak."

She patted the back of Pearl's hand gently and said, "I want to open a balm store, how about you help me manage it?"

"No, if I leave the palace, I won't be able to rest assured that you are here."

Shen Nianshu was slightly startled, she didn't expect Pearl to refuse so decisively.

She gently held Pearl's hand, looked into her eyes tenderly, and said, "Pearl, I know you are worried about me, but I also need your help. The management of the store is not a simple matter and requires a smart person. , Reliable people will be responsible. You are smart and one of the people I trust most. I believe you are qualified for this task. Don't worry, Caiwei and I are in the palace ."

Pearl listened to Shen Nianshu's words, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes. She looked at Shen Nianshu's expectant eyes and couldn't help feeling warm in her heart.

She knew that Shen Nianshu was also thinking about her and hoped that she would have better development.

She held Shen Nianshu's hand tightly, with a firm light shining in her eyes, "Miss, I promise you. I will do my best to live up to your expectations."

Hearing this, Shen Nianshu's eyes flashed with relief.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Pearl said, "I'm not old enough now, and I can't leave the palace."

"Don't worry, I will make arrangements for you."

"Nothing will be easy after you go out. You have to rely on yourself. When you contact me..."

The three of them plotted for a long time.

Shen Nianshu nodded slightly, knowing that Pearl's worries were not without purpose.

In this strange world, everything needs to be started again, and one must be careful not to reveal any flaws.

She began to teach Pearl in detail the knowledge of making incense. From material selection to grinding, from mixing to aging, every step is explained in detail.

Pearl listened attentively and asked some questions from time to time, and Shen Nianshu patiently answered them one by one.

"These three varieties are being sold first, and they should be enough in a short time."

Pearl practiced over and over again, and Shen Nianshu always stood by and patiently guided Pearl.

Shen Nianshu smiled slightly. After thinking for a moment, she slowly said, "Then let's call it 'Hua Xiangrong'."

Pearl's eyes lit up after hearing this. She repeated the name with a satisfied smile on her face, "Empress, you are so talented!"

" Caiwei , go get everything."
