Chapter 85: The Restaurant
Leaving the Jin Chamber of Commerce, Li Shu took Li Qianqian and his party to live in the newly bought house, the house is not big, only two entrances, but there is a cross-courtyard, there is a small building in the small cross-courtyard flowers and trees, and it is a good choice to enjoy the snow in winter and the flowers in summer.

This mansion is not the one I watched last time, but it was accidentally discovered by Liu Er when he went to inquire about those mansions later.
The owner of the house was a celebrity, the ancestor had been the first assistant in the Tiansheng Empire, and then the war broke out, his family took refuge in the countryside of Southern Chu, and later the Southern Chu Dynasty was established, the Southern Chu Emperor sent people to look at the thatched house, before inviting people to the capital, but the celebrity does not mean that he will be an official, the early days of the Southern Chu Dynasty are not only poor, but also lack of people, finally invited a celebrity, the ancestor also did a high-ranking official in the Tiansheng Empire, can he not make the best use of his things?
Naturally, no.
Celebrities and celebrities stayed up for a few months, really couldn't stand the intrigue in the officialdom, hastily withdrew to preserve their reputation, the emperor privately gifted the house to stay, for the children of the clan to live temporarily when they entered Beijing, the children of his clan did have two sons, the champion and the first not to mention, but also by the prime minister to marry the daughter, since then soaring, this house has been empty.
Until recently, the children and grandchildren of celebrities and grandchildren couldn't make ends meet, so they wanted to get rid of this house, and found someone who was talking about something, Liu Er just came to the door, and the two sides hit it off, Liu Er went back to talk to Li Shu, and Li Shu bought it after seeing it.
The group moved in, and the people from Fengjiazhuang came to give gifts.
"The news of Fengjiazhuang is really well-informed. Li Shu smiled and asked people to register the gift into the warehouse.
I shook my head, "This is sent by the third prince of Feng, the owner of the village has been in poor spirits recently, and he has handed over all the affairs of the village to the eldest prince of Feng." ”
"What about Feng Gongzi?"
Feng Gongzi went to the Northern Jin Dynasty with his wife and Feng Ergongzi. I scratched my cheeks, puzzled by the fact that the three of Feng Gongzi's family were traveling far away at this time.
Li Shu turned his head and asked, "Didn't it mean that Mrs. Feng Gongzi loved her youngest son very much, why did she leave her youngest son in Beijing and not take him with you?"
"I heard that I was originally going to go together, but Feng Sangongzi and Feng Leyou didn't deal with each other, so I ......"
"Feng Gongzi went out with his niece?"
Nodding respectfully, "Mrs. Fang's mother and son are also together." ”
After Li Shu pondered for a long time, he laughed, "Are they escorting Mrs. Fang back to her mother-in-law's house?"
"If it weren't for Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Zhuang would still be alive and well!"
"Who is to blame for luring the wolf into the house?" Li Shu sneered, "By the way, didn't you say that there was something wrong with the Li family in Nancheng last month?"
"Yes. Jin Yi smiled and nodded, "The daughters-in-law of the Li family are not harmonious, and they make Mrs. Li angry, because Mrs. Li San has served the illness meritoriously, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li have been reprimanded by the clan elders." ”
"Who is the current patriarch of the Li family in Nancheng?" Li Shu asked.
"It's Master Li. "I would like to say with contempt. If it weren't for the fact that Master Li was the patriarch, Mrs. Li would be able to force the three sons, father and son who had been separated from the mansion, to serve as soldiers for her son and grandson?
Mrs. Li relied on the eldest son to be the patriarch, and Li Jingshi and her two older sons were not there, and wanted to force the eldest grandson to be demoted from a wife to a concubine, afraid that Li Sanlang would make a big deal about it, so she sent someone to arrest him and sell him, forcing the eldest grandson to obey.
Of course, the eldest grandson clan also fought back, otherwise, how could the mother and daughter of the little Jiang family not be entered into the family tree until now?
This matter has been hidden from the family, only the second master Li and several clan elders who were in the ancestral hall with him at that time knew, and it was also the clan elders who advised him to postpone, although because of the war, the power of the clan once reached its peak, such as matching widows and widowers in the clan to integrate the family property, so as to avoid the widow and children marrying out, the property left by the deceased husband will be outflowed, and the widower with children will marry again, so that there is no need to spend a bride price to marry.
But like Mrs. Li, for the sake of her niece, she will still attract criticism if she demotes her wife to a concubine on behalf of her concubine, not to mention, although the father and son have no news during the Li Jing, they are not dead, and when they come back in the future, when they learn about it, how to deal with the aftermath?
It's better to just make a show and coax Mrs. Li.
That's why the second master of Li didn't have any pressure at all, and hooked up with Xiao Jiang's family?
"Do they know about shallow things?"
"I know, and I know your relationship with my cousin. ”
This was not what Li Shu expected. "How do they know?"
Although he didn't deliberately hide it, he still planned to delay it for as long as he could.
"It wasn't the Great Elder who made it yet. ”
Han Yutang's legs were disabled, except for the eldest elder who was the most unwilling, his father and mother were the most indignant, and the husband and wife blamed Li Qianqian for everything, thinking that if it weren't for her, Han Yutang would not have ended up today.
Therefore, the husband and wife are very active in wanting to find out Li Qianqian's origin, as long as they have a heart, they can easily find out the relationship between her and the Li family in Nancheng.
Adhering to the principle that I am not happy and unhappy, Han Qing and his wife deliberately let the news that Li Qianqian is Li Shu's apprentice spread in Nancheng.
As soon as the news spread, Mrs. Li knew about it, and the eldest lady begged for it, saying that since Li Qianqian was not dead, and was accepted as an apprentice by the sect leader, was her daughter okay?
If you can get the light, there is a small Jiang family, there is a big house, will it be your turn to get a second room?
Xiao Jiang took her daughter to cry in front of the old lady a few times, she was not afraid that Li Qianqian would turn back to trouble herself, but she was afraid that the old lady would agree to the eldest lady's request and get Li Jingjing back.
After all, Li Jingjing is several years older, she dares to poison Li Qianqian, Xiao Jiang is afraid that she will also poison her daughter, but she didn't see that Li Qianqian just didn't know what to do, so she was murdered, and her daughter was forced to participate in the whole process!
"What does Mrs. Li want?" Li Shu was impatient to listen to the affairs of the Li family in Nancheng, and directly interrupted Jin Yi.
"Just like before, I want to get a profit from you! It's better to get another errand for her children and grandchildren." ”
Speaking of this, Jin Yi couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, the sect leader and Mrs. Li's family are the same ancestor, otherwise, according to the old lady's temperament, maybe after getting together, she would rely on the old man and want to interfere in the sect leader's marriage.
In fact, Mrs. Li really had this idea, and she wanted to send someone back to her parents' house immediately to see if there was a suitable girl, but she was persuaded by her two sons.
At this time, in the Namcheng Loei Mansion, the old lady and her two sons were discussing in the inner room of the main courtyard.
Master Li said, "It's not yet decided, whether the apprentice accepted by the sect master is the third brother's girl!
The most important thing is that if the sect leader's apprentice is really the youngest daughter of Li Jingshi, why didn't the girl send someone to inform them? Is it because she resents Li Jingjing and Li Shen for pushing her? Or does Li sect leader not want her to contact her family?
They had already found out that the Li family's courtyard was sold to Li Shu by the eldest grandson, but they didn't understand that if the eldest grandson had already been connected with Li Shu, why didn't they let Li Shu take her place? If they knew that the eldest grandson and Li Shu were aunts and cousins, how could they let the little Jiang family enter the third room and demote the eldest grandson to a concubine?
They couldn't have imagined that the Li family's courtyard was made by Li Shu, in order to prevent the courtyard from falling into the hands of the Xiao Jiang family.
The eldest grandson didn't see Li Shu for the last time before her death, otherwise, she would have entrusted Li Qianqian to Li Shu a long time ago, how could she let her daughter fall into the hands of Xiao Jiang and almost lose her life.
"When will it be certain that girl is your third brother's daughter?" Mrs. Li slapped the table angrily, and the tea set on the table was beating and dingling.
Master Li raised his hand to stroke his chest and said, "Sect Master Li's whereabouts have always been unknown, and it is really difficult to determine this matter for a while. ”
"Didn't the grandson of the Great Elder say that it must be?" asked Old Lady Li, although she hoped that the apprentice accepted by the sect leader was not Li Jingshi's daughter, but thinking of her family's deteriorating situation, she was extremely conflicted with her hope.
"That old man Han has never seen the third daughter, he said yes, does it have to be?" Second Master Li and his mother raised the bar, and Mrs. Li was annoyed, but she was reluctant to be angry with him, so she took the peanuts on the table and threw him at them.
Master Li couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he looked at it, "Instead of worrying about this here, it's better to think about your future livelihood." ”
"Is the Mochizuki Restaurant in the city really going to be accepted?" asked Second Master Li as he knocked on the table.
"The boss of Mochizuki Restaurant passed away in the heavy snow last winter, several sons quarreled over the inheritance, and the ownership of Mochizuki Restaurant has also become a problem, their brothers are not business materials, for a few months, Mochizuki Restaurant has been losing money, and if it continues to lose, I am afraid that their brothers will not be able to share anything in the end!"
Mrs. Li thought about it and shook her head, "I still think it's inappropriate, let's take a look!"
Hearing what the old lady said, Master Li pursed his mouth and glanced at his younger brother, Second Master Li hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth and said, "Mother! Miss this village, but there is no such shop! You also know the location of Wangyue Restaurant, this lot alone is more than five thousand taels!"
"It's not worth spending 20,000 taels to take it. Mrs. Li shook her head.
Thanks to the old lady's good vision, there are many shops that make money in Loei, but in recent years, the revenue of the shop has declined year by year, and I don't want to open source, I'm afraid that I will have to sit on the empty mountain in the near future.
If it weren't for his son Li Tianci's proposal, Master Li would not have wanted to take down the Moon Restaurant, and seeing his mother's repeated objections, he had to invite his son out.
Li Tianci came over, and the old lady Li saw that he had lost weight again, and she was so distressed that she couldn't do it, and while beckoning someone to add new charcoal to her grandson's hand stove, she didn't forget to scold her eldest son, "With you as a father, why don't you know that you feel sorry for the child? ”
"It's all right, grandmother, listen to me. ”
Mrs. Li didn't refute her precious grandson's words, and allocated 20,000 taels of silver from her private house to take it to the Moon Restaurant.
The Li family took the matter of the Moon Restaurant, and soon spread to the capital, after Li Shu knew, he asked the pigeon guard to let it go, since they sent it to the door themselves, then what is polite to them?
Soon, Master Li and they will find that although the business of this Moon Gazing Restaurant is prosperous, the income has not been up, and because this restaurant is a bit old, just to maintain it, they have to invest a very considerable amount of money.
When he got the list of high maintenance costs, Master Li couldn't help but regret it, he should really listen to the old lady, and he shouldn't have taken the Mochizuki Restaurant. (To be continued.) )
