Chapter 40: Internal and External Troubles

Mama Lei said: "This person who looks at the shop, He Quan is a good hand, he is quick and reliable, and he has a lot of eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Five Mountains can also get started. ”

"The people of Wushan are too honest, and when they are sold by others, they have to give money to the people! Doing business is not a success! This is not just a matter of doing business. Mu Yun waved his hand again and again and said the truth.

Li Shuci thought in his heart: "First, everything outside depends on He Quan Zhang Luo, and he can't be divided into several people by himself, and second, if He Quan is a guy and says the past, it is too eye-catching to be a shopkeeper all of a sudden." ”

Qingge said: "Last time, I was guarding at the Remnant Wind Inn...... 's grandson is quite exciting, and he can be a little guy. ”

Qingge was vague for a moment, and didn't say anything about Shen Hong, everyone knew that this matter could not be mentioned in the future.

"Mama, or you should come along. Li Shuci thought about it and made up his mind. Mama Lei is middle-aged and widowed, her husband's surname is Zhao, and there is no one, only one daughter, Sister Fang, has been married to a wife, the husband and wife are both honest people, and the family does some small business.

Mama Lei waved her hand and said, "No, I'm leaving, I'm not worried about you here!"

Li Shuci's heart warmed, knowing that Mama Lei was not worried about her, and persuaded: "Mama, in my yard, Qingge can already take care of everything, Lan Xin Xuexin is also intimate, and Mu Yun is by my side, I am not afraid of anything, you know my situation, I know the situation of the third room, now things are getting more and more complicated, and now there is more need of manpower outside than at home, Sister Fang and Brother Liuzi are honest people, you are my milk mother, it is more appropriate to go out of the house and open a shop." ”

Mama Lei thought left and right, it was indeed as Li Shuci said, and finally agreed after a long time.

The next morning, Li Shuci told Yao's that Mama Lei was old and wanted to seal the pension money and go out of the house to reunite with her family. Yao frowned, "Mama Lei is a dedicated old man, it's a pity to go out of the house like this, but people want to go out of the house and enjoy family fun with their families, I heard that now we have a grandson, we can't force us to stay." It's just that you're here......"

"Mother, don't worry, I'm already old, and I don't need people to watch it all the time. Besides, the girls in my yard are all useful. Afraid of what. ”

Yao Shi said distressedly, "That's what I said, but now it's in the Li Mansion, it's in my own house, you can do whatever you want, no one can do anything to you, but when you marry in the future, you have to have a lovely grandmother to follow!"

Li Shuci was stunned, she never thought about marrying or not marrying, with such a sad marriage in her previous life, she almost deliberately ignored this matter, and was speechless for a while, Yao thought she was ashamed, and said with a doting smile: "My daughter has grown up." Daddy and mother only want you to be safe and happy in your life, and don't ask for anything else. ”

"What did my mother say, Ah Ci has served her mother all her life. Li Shuci's eyes were hot, and he reluctantly smiled: "There is still Mama Zheng in my yard, and Mama Lei also said that Mama Zheng is good." Although it is old-fashioned, it is honest in the end. ”

Yao thought for a while: "I have to do this first, it's up to you." If there is not enough manpower, then find a way. ”

In the past few days, He Quan took Wushan, Sun Xiaozi and Mu Yun to look at the shops on the street that Li Shuci had demarcated in advance, and one was in the fireworks willow lane between the south city and the north city - Wumore Lane. There are any shops near Wumore Lane, there are many people, although the news is true or false, but you will definitely be able to hear a meridian. The other place is near the Yamen of Xicheng, although there are few people coming and going in Xicheng, but the management of the Yamen is also much looser, the soldiers dare to speak, the wind is not tight, and they can always take advantage of one or two loopholes.

Looking at the shop, choosing the shop, and negotiating the price, several people were busy in the dark. Finally, I took a fancy to a two-story small teahouse in the middle of the north city and the south city, across a street from Wumore Lane, the door face is not big, but the inside is very spacious, and the connected backyard is more than enough to divide into two small courtyards, which is in line with Li Shuci's intentions.

A few people were spinning inside and outside the yard, and the green pigeon was full of smiles, "Girl, this ginkgo biloba in the yard has been around for a hundred years." ”

He Quan pointed to Qingge's men's clothes and reminded: "The fifth master is outside, you want to call the fifth master!"

The yard is against the edge of the wall, a thick ginkgo tree, the staggered branches are covered with fan-shaped leaves, some of the leaves have been blown off by the autumn wind, and the golden yellow of the ground has fallen, the green pigeon stuck out its tongue, reached out to touch the trunk of the ginkgo, Mushan danced a few sword flowers under the tree, the ginkgo biloba leaves are floating and sinking is beautiful, and the people in the yard who see it are full of pride.

Mu Yun quipped: "This tree is good, and it is convenient for the fifth master to lead us to climb the tree and jump over the wall." ”

Li Shuci ignored her and said with a smile: "This yard is good, it is not eye-catching, it is close to Wumore Lane and not close to each other, and it is only a cup of tea to go back and forth, and those who can come are all repeat customers who often come nearby." Second, the back is connected to the yard, and the back door of the yard can lead to other alleys, so it is convenient for our group to do anything. ”

Xiang Jiu followed behind Li Shuci, and called Li Shuci the fifth master from the good and said: "You can tell stories here and recruit guests for the fifth master, I don't know if I can ...... it."

"Can't!" Li Shuci flatly refused.

Suddenly jumped a few times towards the nine temples, and the corners of his eyes twitched, "I haven't finished yet......"

"You just want to work and pay back...... I don't need you to pay back the money, besides, you are my person now, what do I ask you to do, you have to do it, I let you tell the story for free, you don't do it?" Li Shuci smiled slyly.

Everyone in the courtyard laughed for a while, and Sun Xiaozi stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "We are all members of the fifth master, don't worry! We will be good to you! The eldest brother said, follow the fifth master to have meat to eat! There is wine to drink!"

Xiang Jiu's face darkened, and he easily subdued Sun Xiaozi with his backhand, hmph, he is a very temperamental killer. Sun Xiaozi "ouch ouch" even begged for mercy, Xiang Jiu didn't listen, beat him up, felt a lot more comfortable, found himself under the steps, and said: "The main house and wing room in the backyard are almost all brand new, but it is really a good yard." ”

Several people planned inside and out for a while, decided how to organize the law, and each received an errand.

Mama Lei moved over with Sister Fang and Zhao Liuzi the next day, and began to rectify the yard, adding a wall to the backyard to divide it, connecting half of the courtyard of the teahouse to a wide corridor, breaking the threshold, and half-connecting with the teahouse. In this way, even if you look at the backyard from the private room on the second floor, you can only see the top of the wide corridor.

The backyard is given to Xiang Jiu and He Quan, and Wushan live, and a main house and a side room can also be set aside for backup. Mushan and Sun Xiaozi still live in Xicheng.

He Quan took the clever Sun Xiaozi to remember the things that Li Shuci had confessed one by one, and walked around these two streets for two days, looking at what shops were open on the street and who were usually coming and going. After running for a few days, I touched the nearby piece thoroughly, the top of this five-watch lane is long, and the fireworks willow lane is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, there are places where low-level prostitutes wander, and there are also places where literati and scholars gather to drink and chant words, and there are many Qing Qi Pavilions, and everyone really has it.

Wujing Lane is the most common thing that ordinary people can't go to the floating world, the girl doesn't sell her body or say, she is all stunning, and all of them have superb skills. Scholars and merry sons come here for entertainment and entertainment. Just like Li Shuci said, needless to say, the bustard mother and the girl around the girl in the Wuwatch Alley come out to hang out during the day, and the words are also varied, but you can also go out repeatedly when you listen to it.

He Quan put his mind at ease, waited to change the yard, trimmed and painted, transplanted a lot of flowers and trees on the edge of the wide corridor, and repurchased tables and chairs, calligraphy and paintings, decorated everywhere, and made water cards. They opened a tea shop, plus a little dim sum, Mama Lei's daughter and son-in-law were originally in the dim sum business, so they saved the effort of finding a dim sum master, chose an auspicious day, picked two firecrackers and set them off, and the small and low-key half of the building was opened.

Xiang Jiu saw that others were busy, and he was uncomfortable idle, and followed Li Shuci behind her and asked her to assign some work.

Li Shuci smiled and said, "Why don't you give me a bookkeeper." Let He Quan give you a hand, and teach Sun Xiaozi a few of them to recognize words by the way. ”

Hearing that He Quan was the most powerful celebrity around her, Li Shuci asked He Quan to give him a hand, he was in a good mood, and said proudly: "Then you can put a hundred hearts!"

When you are free, it is already the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The queen set up a dinner party and invited the ladies and ladies who had a destiny to enter the palace to admire the moon.

Li Shuci sat lazily in the carriage, his hands subconsciously rubbed the forbidden step hanging on his waist, and there was a new tie from Yuebai below, and the things made by Yuebai's skillful hands were delicate and generous.

The queen's illness was not a day or two, and what did it mean to suddenly get such a thing? Entering the palace to admire the moon? Could it be that the moon in the palace would be rounder than the one outside? Obviously, it was just an excuse, and the queen's palace concubine invited many ladies to look at the flowers and admire the moon for nothing more than two things, one was to be a matchmaker for others, and the other was to be a matchmaker for herself.

The eldest prince born by the queen has already had a princess, so the queen must be a matchmaker for others.

Entering the Yong'an Gate, the sun has already set silently, the sky has darkened, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the lights in the palace are hung more sufficiently, Li Shuci followed the old lady and Yao's got off the sedan chair, looked around, and sure enough, Yu Baocian quietly beckoned to her, "Grandmother, mother! ”

It just so happened that the princess of the county also saw them, and as soon as they greeted each other, a little father-in-law stepped forward, and a few people didn't say anything, and followed the little father-in-law who led the way to move forward step by step, Li Shuci and Yu Baocian fell behind everyone, squeezing each other's eyes.

A group of people through the blue bricks and vermilion paint, the pavilion lake and blue waves, a stick of incense kung fu to the imperial garden, around the burning of warm incense, there have been a lot of acquaintances, the rules in the palace are big, everyone just nodded to each other, each sat down, waiting for the arrival of the queen.

Not long after, the queen was dressed in a gorgeous brocade dress and came with the support of a young girl. Although the queen's face was a little pale, she was obviously very happy, and the girl took a slight half step back, hidden in the shadows, and could not see her face clearly, but she saw that her figure was soft and graceful.

Li Shuci chuckled in his heart. She was right.
