Chapter 760: Buying a Shop
Song Li naturally wouldn't be angry with Gu Ning because she arranged for someone to be by her side to protect herself, she knew that the reason why Gu Ning did this was also to protect herself, but she wasn't used to it yet.
"Stay away from me. "Although it is said that it is arranged to protect yourself by your side, is it really good to be so close to yourself?
Hongmei nodded helplessly, "Yes, young lady." ”
Since the four people in the back were arranged by Gu Ning to protect Song Li, they naturally took the primary responsibility of protecting Song Li, and when they heard Hongmei say that they should retreat, they immediately said, "Childe asked us to protect the young lady closely." ”
Hongmei glanced at Song Li in embarrassment, "It's okay for you to stay a little farther away, and it's not that you don't follow the young lady." ”
Several people looked at each other, but in the end they chose to back down, "Let's take ten steps back." "Ten steps, even if there is a problem, they can be there in time, so this is their bottom line.
Hongmei also knew that it was obviously unrealistic to want them to continue to back down, so she had to discuss with Song Li.
Song Li's original intention was not to prevent them from following him, since they originally intended to retreat a little, then of course they couldn't go too far.
took out five taels of silver from his arms and handed it to Hongmei, "This summer, you have to follow me to blame you for being tired, let them buy themselves a cup of tea to drink." ”
Hongmei gave Song Li's reward to the four people, but the four didn't expect Song Li to be five taels of silver as soon as he made a move. When he was hesitating whether he should take it, he heard Hongmei say. "Don't worry, since the young lady gave you the silver, she will naturally reward you, and you can rest assured. She has been with Song Li for half a year, so she naturally knows that Song Li is a person who will not treat her subordinates badly.
Not to mention others, even I don't know how much I have received from the young lady, which is far more than my salary in Gu Mansion for a year, and the work is more relaxed.
Hearing Hongmei say this, the four of them took the money.
After Song Li gave the money, he took Hongmei to continue shopping.
Strictly speaking, Song Li is not shopping, but inspecting, or it can be said that he is checking which shop he can buy.
Both housing prices and prices in Beijing are surprisingly high, and the shops in Beijing are not so easy to transfer out. Song Li felt dissatisfied after reading a lot, so he thought about going to see if there was a suitable one.
Hongmei thought that Song Li was unhappy because Gu Ning sent someone to protect Song Li, but she didn't expect Song Li to make such a plan.
A shop with a transfer sign in front of him attracted Song Li's attention.
The height of the store is about two floors, and Song Li is quite satisfied with both the decoration and the layout. So Song Li planned to go in and see what was going on.
"The store has been transferred, if the girl plans to buy something, please go to another store!" an old man in his forties and fifties sat on the edge of the counter.
"What kind of business are you doing here?" Song Li motioned for Hongmei to help herself with a stool by the counter.
The old shopkeeper thought that Song Li was here to mess around with him, but he strangely did not drive Song Li out. Maybe it's because the store is so deserted, it's rare for someone to walk in, and he certainly doesn't want to kick people out.
"Restaurant business. ”
"Why do you want to close your course?"
"I can't do it anymore. ”
Song Li hid his face and smiled, "This is a real reason. ”
"So, girl, it's useless for you to come to us for food or for sale. ”
"I don't eat. Song Li said with a smile.
The shopkeeper thought it was strange, since you didn't eat, what did you come to do? Could it be that you saw the transfer at the door of the store and came in?
"How do I transfer this store?"
The shopkeeper was shocked, and said in his heart, is it really for the transfer of the store at the door?
"Is the girl planning to buy our shop?" Although the shopkeeper couldn't believe that Song Li would buy the shop, he still asked with hope.
"I'm really looking for a suitable shop, but I don't know how the shopkeeper's store is going to be transferred. ”
When the shopkeeper heard that Song Li really came in for the word transfer at the door, he was also a little excited. But he didn't pin all his hopes on the girl in front of him.
"My shop is worth 10,000 taels of silver. ”
Hongmei's eyes were about to fall out, and 10,000 taels of silver was enough to buy as many of herself as she could. This price is really scaring to death.
Song Li nodded, "The price is appropriate, but it is said that the location of this store is so good, business should not be depressed to this point, if the shopkeeper is willing to tell me the truth, I can consider taking this store down." ”
The shopkeeper looked at Song Li in surprise, "The girl said that she is willing to take the store down?" How long has the word transfer been hanging at the door, and no one has come in to ask him, but most of them are frightened by this high transfer fee, and a few of them almost turned around and left after knowing why the store became what it is now.
But after a long time, the shopkeeper also knew that it would be difficult for him to transfer this store.
"It's a long story, when my son was a high school jinshi, my family moved to the capital, and later the whole family bought this store in the capital. It's a pity that the good times don't last long in such a big dye vat as officialdom, and after only four or five years of kung fu, my son learned badly, and later he was deprived of his official position by the saint. Fortunately, the Holy Grace did not take this shop away. However, he ordered that my son should not enter the capital again. That's why I thought about selling the store and going back to my hometown with my son. ”
It turned out that it was because the corrupt official's son had an accident, so he couldn't wait to transfer the store.
"I see. To be honest, Song Li, who is not a corrupt official, doesn't care very much, the key is to see if this shop is worth spending a lot of money to buy.
"If the girl doesn't want to, just do it. "The shopkeeper knows, I'm afraid this girl won't be willing to buy it if she knows the truth.
"I'll give you the answer to the shopkeeper in three days. Song Lidao.
The shopkeeper's face was shocked, "What does the girl mean?"
"Didn't my young lady say that she would give you the answer in three days. ”
After waiting for so long, I finally met someone who was willing to buy it, and the shopkeeper was naturally happy. "Okay, well, the old man will wait for the girl's good letter in three days. ”
After taking a fancy to her goal, Song Li naturally didn't want to continue shopping, she had to hurry up and send a letter to her father and mother, and let her come to the capital.
It's just that Song Li's letter was stopped by Gu Ning before it was delivered.
