The lethality of this sentence is no less than a small pink mushroom cloud. Cai Wan Xia Yue and the others immediately lowered their heads and took half a step back.

The smile on Ruji's face was so sweet that she pursed her lips twice to hold back her laughter, and coughed lightly: "So free?" Don't you need to be on duty? ”

"There are always priorities," Chen Hao nodded leisurely, and the expression on his face seemed to be very serious, "I changed the shift on duty." ”

Priorities. Such ordinary four words are sweet and intoxicating, Ru Xi feels that she can't say it anymore, Chen Da Zhutou is really different today, and if the conversation continues on the street like this, she is afraid that she will have tooth decay.

"Well, let's go see the shop." Ru Xi hurriedly turned around and went to the teahouse, Chen Run saw the opportunity very quickly, and immediately rushed to the front, first to say hello to the current shopkeeper.

Xia Yue and Cai Wan consciously took a step back, asking Chen Hao and Ru Xi to enter side by side, and the two followed two steps apart.

"Hello Miss Pu." The shopkeeper of the teahouse followed Chen Runying, a middle-aged man in his fifties, similar to the standard image of the shopkeeper of most inns and restaurants, medium stature is not tall or short, the body is slightly fat, wearing a sauce-colored cooked silk robe, and his round face looks very kind, "You are here, welcome, you can take a look." ”

Ruxi remembered that Chen Run said that the business of this teahouse was not bad, but this shopkeeper Lu was from Yuzhou, and now he was ready to take over the business in the capital and move back to his hometown, so he wanted to sell the teahouse. Since she was going to come over to discuss business this time, Ru Xi quickly put Chen Hao's mind on her side for a while, and turned to check this teahouse carefully.

Visually, this store is about 50 square meters, and there are seven or eight tables for eight immortals, and there are two small, one large and three private rooms on the second floor. The area is indeed not small, and although the furniture is a little old, it looks quite sturdy. As for the decoration or something, it is not good or bad, at most it can be said to be clean and tidy.

The shopkeeper Lu led Ru Ji and the others around the store, and then took everyone to the back to see the backyard kitchen, water well and other facilities. Ru Ji's face was faintly impassive, only listening to the explanation of the shopkeeper Lu, as if he was not very satisfied with the number in his heart, but in fact, his heart was almost always full of all kinds of amazed faces-(*@ο@*) Wow~ It turns out that the kitchen of the ancient restaurant looks like this! Is this the well? The firewood room is different from the TV series!

However, no matter what kind of "grandma enters the Grand View Garden" in his heart, his face is still a poker face, and no expression is always the best expression when talking about business. After the whole circle came back, the shopkeeper Lu saw that Ruxi had never said anything from beginning to end, and he had never changed his expression coldly, and his tone was more polite: "Is the girl dissatisfied?" ”

"Shopkeeper Lu, where are you dealing with swill and sundries in your backyard?" Chen Hao suddenly interjected, "The well is also farther away from the kitchen, has the pattern been changed?" ”

Shopkeeper Lu hurriedly smiled: "Hello eyesight." This house was originally used as a calligraphy and painting house, and then it was a house for storage. However, it has been more than ten years since it was changed to a teahouse, and it has always been very good. There is a utility room between the well and the kitchen, after all, the well cannot be moved, and the kitchen cannot really be next to the well, so it is too tight from the lobby, and it is not good for the guests to choke on the smoke, don't you say? ”

"What about the back door? How many back doors does your teahouse and yard have? You're a little shorter behind the wall. Chen Hao asked about the details, and asked a little bit, with some sophisticated bargaining in his tone. Ru Ji couldn't help but look sideways, and looked at Chen Hao several times, of course, she didn't interrupt him, but just remembered it in her heart while listening.

After asking about all kinds of details, after a whole round of talks, the shopkeeper Lu has taken the initiative to reduce the price by another three hundred taels. Chen Hao finally turned his head to look at Ruji: "Girl, what do you say?" ”

Ru Xi smiled at the shopkeeper Lu: "Your shop is really good, but buying a shop is a big deal, I'll think about it again." Thank you for hearing back in a few days. ”

Naturally, the shopkeeper Lu didn't expect to be able to finalize the deal at one time, and he also returned the courtesy with kindness: "This is natural, the girl thinks about it first." It's just that there are also guests watching next to you, girl, if you really want to, please pay attention. ”

"Okay, thank you." This is the scene, it is nothing more than to show that the store is very popular, please hurry up if you want to buy it. Ru Xi nodded with a smile and walked out of the teahouse.

After walking out a few steps, Ru Xi couldn't help but look at Chen Hao: "Chen Da Zhutou, how do you know so many business things?" Could it be that the head catcher of Jingzhao Yamen also handles economic cases related to merchants? ”

"Jingzhao Yamen naturally has to handle any case." Looking at Ru Ji's eyes with surprise and vague admiration, Chen Hao's smile deepened. The miscellaneous facts of these shops are not worth anything, but it still makes people feel very happy to ask their sweethearts to look at them like this. However, he was used to being calm, and quickly reined in his thoughts, and explained: "My grandfather used to be a merchant, and I heard a little about business when I was young. After a pause, there was some self-deprecation in the smile, "Although I am not very successful in reading, it is still transparent to remember these side door sundries." ”

Ru Ji pouted: "Every time you slaughter more dogs, you are the most negative reader." Those who read the Four Books and the Five Classics may not have anything more remarkable, I think it is good to be pragmatic. Everyone's path is different. ”

This time, it was Chen Hao who looked sideways, and turned his head to look at Ruxi's beautiful and fair face: "Do you really think so?" ”

Ru Xi looked back at the past, and intuitively felt that Chen Hao was vaguely serious in his smile, and before he turned around for a while, he nodded without thinking: "Of course it's true." Look at Pu Hanlin, that's still the second list, where have you read the sage books. What's so good about those who were born in the imperial examination? ”

Chen Hao looked deeply into her eyes, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Then do you think it's good to be a head catcher?" ”

Ru Ji couldn't help laughing: "Well, it's good to be a head catcher, the people's guard." ”

"People's Defenders?" Chen Hao also smiled and couldn't help but repeat it gently. This girl always has something fresh to say, but she seems to think so, and that's really good.

There was gossip about a match along the way, and soon I looked at three shops. Ru Ji was not so curious when she arrived, and she also roughly saw the structure of some ancient teahouses and their respective pros and cons. But Chen Hao still took the initiative to ask the shopkeeper about the details for her, such as Ji Le's trouble, so he put on a cold poker face and listened, only let Chen Hao go to the shopkeeper to inquire and negotiate the price, anyway, there is no need to make a decision today, she talks less and has more room for advancement.

When she came out of the third house, Ru Ji already had a rough idea of buying a teahouse, but she was a little tired from walking, so she wanted to find a place to eat tea and rest for a while. Chen Hao pointed to a store that was only twenty or thirty steps away: "That's a Baibao Zhai with a lot of rare goods, do you want to go and see it?" ”

Strictly speaking, although Ruji has been out a few times since she was reborn, she hasn't really shopped easily. At this time, when I heard Chen Hao say this, I immediately became curious: "Strange goods? Is it a Gentile thing? What is in the south and in the north, or is it from the sea? ”

Chen Hao nodded: "There are some." In recent years, there has been a lot of maritime trade, and there are often new things from Fuso and Ryukyu. ”

"What about the food? Is there anything Western? Ru Ji became more and more excited, and even her pace accelerated. If only there was overseas food, she really misses coffee!

However, it turned out that she was thinking too much. There are indeed a lot of fresh and exquisite goods in Baibao Zhai, but they are mainly handicrafts and do not eat. What root carved cups, brocade purses, delicately carved hairpins, porcelain box painted rouge. As for the so-called overseas items, there are only two folding fans of Fuso.

Ru Xi looked at the dazzling array of goods, and was soon attracted by a red blonde hair comb. On the back of the hair comb is a piece of warm moire white jade in the center, on both sides are two small peach blossoms carved with transparent pink crystal as petals and pearls, and the back is also lined with a little cuifu pattern, the full length of the comb is only one and a half inches, but it is really delicate and beautiful.

Chen Hao saw that Ruji was paying attention to the hair comb, so he asked the store for a price. I don't want the shopkeeper to apologize again and again: "Chen Zhutou, I'm really sorry, this comb was ordered by a guest, and I forgot to take it down for a while, Chen Zhutou forgive me, you can take a look at something else." ”

Ru Ji was a little regretful when she heard this, but she could only put it down and go to see other things.

Chen Hao asked the shopkeeper again: "I don't know which guest it is, is it a regular customer?" Can I give me some more money and ask the guest to transfer it to me? ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "That guest said that he would come to pick it up today, and if he arrives, you can discuss it with him." It's just that if it succeeds or not, small shops don't dare to guarantee it. ”

Chen Hao bowed: "Okay, thank you." Turning around to look for Ruji, I saw that she was holding a bottle of Nanyi's bone-setting medicine and wine and looking over and over, "What's the matter, where is the injury?" ”

Ru Ji unconsciously lowered her voice: "Are all your injuries from last time healed?" ”

Chen Hao was happy in his heart, and he also smiled in the same low volume: "You just remembered? ”

Ru Ji glanced at him: "Didn't I ask Chen Run and Cai Wan to send you two rounds of medicine?" Suddenly I remembered, "Won't ordinary bone-setting medicine and wine be enough?" Do you want to go to the medicine store again to buy some tiger bones? ”

Chen Hao bent his lips, and suddenly looked a little solemn: "I'm just a poor catcher, you give me so many things, how can I pay you back?" ”

Ru Xi said in a low voice: "You are injured for me, I have seen it in my eyes." What's more, you pay attention to your body, and it's true to pay attention to everything. ”

"Ruxi-" Chen Hao's heart only felt extremely warm, and he couldn't help but reach out to shake Ruxi's hand.

"Shopkeeper." A clear male voice came from the door of the store, Ru Xi's face changed in an instant, and Chen Hao also turned around to look over. The young man in the green robe outside the door is polite and polite, and it is the fourth young master of the Shi family, Shi Renlang.

"You're here," the shopkeeper stepped forward to beckon, "Childe, you ordered a haircomb, and another guest wants to ...... too."

That hair comb turned out to be Shi Renlang's order? It's really a narrow road!

Ru Xi immediately shook her head at Chen Hao: "I don't want it, let's go." ”

Although Chen Hao didn't know the confused account between Shi Renlang and Ru Ji Rushu, he knew that Ru Ji didn't like all the Shi family members except General Shi Ben very much, so he immediately cut off to the shopkeeper: "The shopkeeper, we don't want it." After that, he walked out with Ruji.

Shi Renlang saw clearly just now that Ruji and Chen Hao were standing side by side, it was already like a bolt from the blue, and when he heard the two words "we" and "we" from the two of them at this moment, it was as if he had hit the center in a row. didn't care about any hairpins, and immediately took a step across to block Ruji's way, his eyes were a little red for a moment, and he almost gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice: "Miss Pu, this is why you are ruthless to me?" ”

Ru Ji instantly became angry, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Chen Hao directly take a half step forward, stretched out her hand to stop it, and separated Shi Renlang: "Please respect yourself." ”

Shi Renlang looked Chen Hao up and down: "It turned out to be you, it turned out to be you?" ”

Ru Xi heard the meaning of this, it was to arouse the old grudges and new hatreds such as the entanglement between the Shi family and Chen Hao's mother and son, Shi Zhonglang's imprisonment, and for fear of pulling out some disrespectful words from the third lady, so she immediately stepped forward half a step: "Shi Sigongzi, I have met you twice in total and said five sentences, why do you think that the person who has something to do with you is me?" Seeing that Shi Renlang's face changed again, he pulled Chen Hao's sleeve, and the two went side by side.

Back at the carriage and horses, Ru Xi was still a little unhappy: "Every time I come out, I always have to meet some people who are bad and sad, and none of them stop." Turning his head to look at Chen Hao, "Don't you have anything to ask me?" ”

Chen Hao looked at Ru Xi, and there was a little pity in his eyes: "Isn't it that other girls in your family are using your name to deal with the Shi family, what is there to ask." It's not easy for you at home, I know. ”

Ru Xi's nose was inexplicably sour, and she immediately tilted her head to the other side, endured and endured, and then suppressed the warmth in her eyes, and asked Chen Run: "Xiao Run, is there still a yard to see today?" ”

Chen Run glanced at Chen Hao and hesitated: "Yes, there is a courtyard in the north of the city." ”

Ru Xi was still adjusting her mood, and she didn't pay much attention to it, so she directly helped Cai Wan's hand to get into the car: "Then let's go and have a look." ”

The carriage staggered past, and it was only a quarter of an hour away, and Ru Xi sat in the car and finally readjusted her feelings. What should come always comes, and what should be faced still has to be faced. No matter how Rushu calculates this matter, the purpose should not be to harm others and herself, what she wants is nothing more than a future. In the first two lives, Ruyan was married to the Shi family, and in a good place, it can be said that she was married to the nephew of General Yipin, while Ruyan was married to Lu Mao, the concubine of the Zhenguo General's Mansion. Compared with the two sisters, Rushu is bent on climbing to a higher place, but it is a pity that in the first life, she is married to Ji Zhugui, and in the second life, she fills the house for Shi Zhonglang.

In this life, Ruji's fate has changed, and the fate of countless others has also been promoted. The first to bear the brunt is naturally Pu Yu and Chi's family, and the recourse of Yanwei's dowry directly removed nearly half of the Pu family's property, which immediately affected Ruyan and Rushu, who were approaching the flowering period. In the previous life, although Ruyan Gao was a concubine's daughter-in-law when she married Lu Mao, in the end she also entered the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and the Chi family gritted her teeth and scraped together eight thousand taels to send Ruyan out, and when she arrived at Rushu, she made a discount and barely made four thousand taels. Now I'm afraid that the two sisters add up to three or four thousand.

But the value of the dowry is not the most important, according to the wind and grass that the fairy grass and Lingzhi inquired about, the Chi family may still have the heart to marry Rushu to Chi Zhugui in this life. Of course, that has to be on the premise that Ji Ju-gyu can be cured. Speaking of which, it is reasonable for the Chi family to have this idea, after all, Chi Zhugui has a reputation for talent on his body. According to the financial resources of the Pu family and Pu Yu's career today, it is difficult to say about the marriage of Ruyan and Rushu, after all, there is no power and no dowry, it is all a hard wound in a hard injury. If Rushu is really married to Ji Zhugui, how much dowry is actually distributed in his own family. As for character, it may not be better to find a random one.

If Rushu knew Chi's plan in her heart, it would be impossible not to resent it, and it would not be unusual to hook up with Shi Renlang to seek her own future. But Shi Renlang is not completely brainless, and today's sentence should be enough to wake him up. What happens after that, let's take it one step at a time.

The only fortunate thing is that Chen Hao didn't mind because of this.

Ru Xi opened a little curtain, looked at the back of Chen Hao who was sitting in front of the car with Chen Run, and felt relieved again.

No matter how you toss, God is still not thin on herself.
