Chapter 49 Planning a business 2
Shutong stood up and grinned, "Thank you, Mrs. Gui." After saying that, he wiped the fresh and warm towel on his face. He didn't expect that Shutong would also be served by someone one day. He felt so good!
Xianggui was thanked, and he stood aside awkwardly. Hearing the movement of the bedroom door, he hurriedly went to serve the little master. He was really busy and felt wind on his feet.
Shutong said to her back, "Madam, she is very diligent!"
Cheng Yingzhen agreed, smiled and nodded: "Not bad!"
In early March, the sun was shining, the spring breeze was gentle, everything was growing, and the weather was gradually getting warmer. Su Ruojin changed out of her heavy thick coat and put on a light jacket. She came out of the room, walked to Cheng Yingzhen, moved a small stool to sit down, and let her mother sit down. Give her a bun, and after a while, she will have a beautiful bun with exquisite beads and flowers.
A pink little lady looked like she had stepped out of a painting. She had delicate eyebrows and a baby face. Cheng Yingzhen couldn't help but pinch her. She was really cute.
When Yang Siniang saw Mrs. Su pinching it, she also came over and pinched it, "Wow, so much meat!"
Su Ruojin was so angry that she slapped her hand, "You have more meat than me."
Yang Siniang is fatter than Su Ruojin, and of course there is more flesh on her face. The two young ladies were having a lively fight and went to Yang's house holding each other's hands.
Su Sanlang called out urgently from behind: "Sister, Sister Rong, wait for me..."
After a while, the yard was completely quiet. Cheng Yingzhen smiled and shook her head, looking at the cradle next to her. "Next year, you will also be chasing the third brother, right?"
The spring breeze blows and the garden is filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Before I reached the main hall, I heard my daughter’s call, “Mom, I’m bringing Ajin over here!”
The little daughter was chirping happily all day long. Mrs. Yang shook her head happily. She didn’t look at her until her daughter threw herself into her arms, “She’s seven years old after the Chinese New Year, can she act like a little lady?”
"Hehe..." Yang Birong walked straight into her mother's fragrant arms. It smelled like a mother, and she felt even happier.
Su Ruojin shouted politely: "Hello, madam!"
Mrs. Yang raised her head and said, "I heard Ah Rong say that you want to find a wife who is a good wife?"
She nodded: "Do you have it, madam?"
"There is no woman, but there is a young lady of twelve or thirteen years old who knows some boxing and kicking skills. I'm afraid that being young and unable to go home will delay your family's affairs."
Yesterday, I told Ah Rong that the wife of the Lian family was actually just what she said. If she really wanted to invite someone back, she would be really talented but useless. In fact, Su Ruojin wanted to find a girl with a little bit of boxing skills to keep company with her when she went out to avoid worrying. .
What Mrs. Yang said was exactly what she wanted, "I wonder where she is now?"
“I am in my natal home, Zheng Guofu.”
Normally Mrs. Yang would not talk much to a child, but after contacting the Su family, she knew that Su Erniang was a young master, so she told her the origin of the little girl who was good at boxing and kung fu.
"Three years ago, my brother went on a patrol. On the way, he encountered a fight between a caravan bodyguard and a bandit. One of the bodyguards died. His family came to collect the body and collect the caravan's pension money. The parents and brothers of one of the bodyguards held the money in their hands. He gave the daughter to the escort's wife. The wife remarried on the spot, leaving a lonely daughter. My brother looked at the pity and took him back to the capital to raise him as a little girl in the Duke's palace. The girl had a weird temper and refused to talk to anyone. I practice boxing and kicking in the yard in the morning and evening. The girls and women in the yard don't like it, so when I heard Rong'er said that you want to find someone who knows boxing and kicking, I thought of her. I don't know if I have said so much, do you still want it? ?”
Su Ruojin nodded, "Madam, what you mean is that she has no bond of betrayal and is a free person, right?"
The little lady is really perceptive, and she can hear it right away. No wonder she is able to be the head of the family at such a young age. Looking at her daughter, standing next to her legs, she understands nothing and laughs secretly.
"If you want, I will go to my mother's house, and I will bring her over for you to see. If you are destined, I will consider you hiring her." "Okay." Su Ruojin said, "Then I'll trouble Madam to go there."
Su Ruojin was waiting for Mrs. Yang to return to her parents' home to bring back a little girl who knew how to box and kick, and was waiting to help Xianhua Ping to see what was going on there. Seeing her playing in the alley every day, her thoughts had already been focused on these two things.
Shu Tong ran out every day and quietly inquired about the situation of the house. There was no movement for several days. Until the morning of March 16th, when he left the breakfast stall to inquire about the situation of the shop again, he was surrounded inside and outside the entrance of the alley. Man, he squeezed in and took a look, "Hey, be a good boy." The roof of the shop of more than ten square meters that the second wife had chosen had been scorched, leaving only four empty walls.
Looking at the backyard again, it was also scorched by the fire. It was completely blackened by the smoke. The things inside were also burnt and scorched. It was a mess and was unsightly.
…
He was dumbfounded, can he still buy this? After standing still for a moment, he suddenly turned around and squeezed out of the crowd, running towards home. As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he shouted, "Second Lady...Second Lady..."
Su Ruojin was playing lattice with Su Sanlang in the corridor. Hearing the cry, he quickly went down the steps of the corridor and said, "Uncle Shutong, what's the matter?"
Shutong ran so fast that he was panting and unable to speak, "Qi...Qi's house was on fire. It was badly burned. That flower boy can't do things well, and we can't buy this shop."
Burned? That person looked so monkeyish, so he did this to her?
Su Ruojin didn't give up. She picked up the corner of her skirt and ran towards Xiqiao Lane. Shu Tong immediately chased after her.
The two masters and servants ran out of breath. When they arrived at the Qijia courtyard, an old Taoist holding a whisk was shaking his head in front of the Jiaoyuan. The land brings harm to people, the land brings blessings to people, the people live in blessings, the land brings blessings..." I kept reading.
The onlookers couldn't help but interrupt the old Taoist priest, "Master Taoist, can you please explain clearly to me, if you are so nagging, can someone with the surname Qi still live here?"
“It’s a strange place!”
The three brothers of the Qi family had their hair and beards burnt by the smoke. After hearing the words of the old Taoist priest, they all lost their usual carelessness. The elder Qi asked, "Then according to Taoist wishes, our Qi family..."
The old Taoist priest flicked his fly whisk and brushed the faces of the three brothers of the Qi family, and they all took a step back.
The old Taoist priest was completely unaware and raised his head slightly, "Qi Daqi... You should live near the south city gate so that you can rely on blessings to get..."
Su Ruojin's eyebrows almost flew into a straight line upon hearing this. The surname Hua is so awesome. This is clearly a blow to the bottom of the cauldron! She no longer had the heart to listen to the old Taoist priest's nonsense.
Her mind is now full of how to renovate the front and back yards of this shop, and she has thought of N ways. In the end, she is most concerned about buying a shop and renovating it. Is three hundred taels enough?
"Hey...hey..." Shutong called out in a low voice for a few times before bringing the little master back to his senses, "It's all burned like this and there are still people who want to buy it."
Eh...someone is competing with her for a shop? Su Ruojin immediately came back to her senses, "Who?"
Shutong pointed to a few middle-aged men standing beside the old road, "You said they were burned to such a degree, yet there are still people who want them." He couldn't figure it out.
Su Ruojin hummed, "Have you ever heard of a burning land?"
Shu Tong: ...is there another way to say this? He really hadn't heard of it.
“Then… what should I do if I’m snatched away by them?”
Su Ruojin calmly looked at the people surrounding the Taoist priest. These guys may not really want to buy, but they really want to pick up the leaks. If this Taoist priest was really found by Hua Ping, then the last owner of this courtyard must be her, Su Ruojin.
