The little son of the city lord's family did not come up to find her trouble, Hao Cheng also put this matter aside for the time being, and after resting for a while, he went to the street to look for a house, and the law of renting a house in Mingzhou City was far more perfect than that of a small place like Xinghua Village.

And the silver in her hand is only a few hundred taels, and she can't afford to buy a suitable house in such a prosperous city, and it is not cost-effective to live in an inn for a long time.

It was a house with a large compound, because it was close to the market, the location was good, and the house was not bad, and the price was relatively expensive, and it cost her a hundred taels of silver to rent it for only one year.

Since you are here to do business, you have to pay the capital from the beginning. What's more, this rental contract was completed at the Yamen, and I was not worried that the landlord would temporarily raise the rent, let alone be kicked out.

Hao Cheng gritted his teeth and paid the full amount at one time. After a few more days of moving, she was about to vacate the inn room. The innkeeper was a little unhappy at first, and refused to return Hao Cheng's money.

Hao Cheng said: "The shopkeeper has also seen it before, although I am a foreigner, I am not afraid of offending people, not to mention that I have offended the little son of the city lord's family, if you don't return the money, I will rely on here, and spread the word everywhere that this is a black-hearted inn, swallowing up the guests' money and making the inn unstable, which is not good for both of us." ”

To deal with this kind of person in the shopkeeper, the way of scolding the street is actually the most effective. However, Hao Cheng is a scholar, of course he can't tear his face. There was not a single dirty word in this statement, but the words were half reasonable and half coercive.

She was so pestle in the inn, and the shopkeeper chattered crookedly for a while, but in the end she still returned her money. Although she only returned ten taels of silver, she bought rice and grain and came back to cook for herself, and she was alone enough to live for three months.

The scene of her and the shopkeeper's quarrel fell into the eyes of the woman in the corner. As soon as Hao Cheng walked on his front foot, the latter followed.

She did an excellent job of tailgating, and because she was dressed luxuriously and was upright, Hao Cheng occasionally turned his head to see her, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

After all, this lady is full of luxurious things, and it is estimated that the jade pendant on her waist is worth all her belongings, and there are many rich people near the place she rents, and they are just passing by.

Rao was like this, she still had a heart, and did not walk all the way back to her residence, but turned a corner, changed the path, and went elsewhere.

The woman really followed all the way, but in front of a very gorgeous mansion, Hao Cheng looked up and glanced at the plaque on the house, two big words, Li Mansion.

The woman stopped and knocked on the scarlet door. In a few moments, two servants opened the door and respectfully greeted her.

It seems that she is really careless, Hao Cheng and the other woman were welcomed in, and she also folded out of the alley, returned the same way, went to the market to purchase a batch of kitchen utensils and food, discussed with the store, and asked the other party to send these things to the place where she lived, and went to the blacksmith shop to urge the progress of the stove and pot she wanted.

The status of the chef of the Jin Kingdom is not high, but he is very respectful of businessmen. As a scholar, if she goes to the restaurant to wash her hands and make soup, she will only be looked down upon. But to make ends meet and open your own shop is a model of self-reliance.

Obviously, they are all doing some work to stir-fry vegetables and fried rice for people, but there is a big difference in reputation. The rest of Hao Cheng's hand can't afford to open a big shop in this place, and she has inspected it all.

There are a lot of noodles in Mingzhou City, all kinds of snacks, steamed buns and the like, and the soup dumplings are even better, and many famous steamed bun shops already have loyal customers. Although steamed buns don't have so much smoke and smoke to make, she is not ready to compete with those people for business.

Fortunately, there are not many people who make pancakes here, and there are still few varieties. When Hao Cheng used to study, there were a circle of food stalls outside the university town, Tujia sauce cakes, Wu Dalang baked cakes, egg scones and all kinds of pancakes.

All kinds of cakes have a fixed number of customers, and she only needs to make one that is not available here to ensure that she can grab customers.

Hao Cheng was planning her own money-making plan, and the woman who had followed her all the way walked out of the gate of the Li Mansion a few minutes after she left.

This time, she was more vigilant and careful, and followed her to the house that Hao Cheng rented where Hao Cheng didn't notice.

Waiting for Hao Cheng to push open the door and enter, she turned a corner and entered the city lord's mansion in an alley across this place. As soon as I entered, someone greeted me: "What's the matter, people see it, what do they think?" ”

The woman said: "I followed her all the way, she was quite vigilant, and her appearance was quite good, but she was too thin and a little short." ”

She gestured and added, "Even when I'm so high on my shoulders and so weak that I can't bear my brother's whip at all." ”

The middle-aged man who asked her frowned, and the young woman beside him who was similar to the woman said: "That's also better than the women you showed your little brother in the barracks, I think the scholar is good, the scholar let the little brother and won't fight with him." ”

The man also echoed: "I think your second sister is right, those women in the barracks are strong, but they like that kind of gentle and petty man, and our little fish will definitely not get along with them." ”

"But my brother didn't say that those women couldn't even beat him, he didn't want that kind of wretched wife."

Qiao Mu, who is Qiao Yu's second sister, rolled his eyes: "The one in your military camp was still overturned by our younger brother in three moves, although I love my younger brother, it is enough for one family with a high force value." If you really want to find a woman like Xiao Yu'er to be his wife, their family will have to lift the house at two ends in three days. ”

"Then let's show Xiao Yu'er, what if he is unhappy?"

The man who looked five points similar to Qiao Yu said: "When I came back a few days ago, didn't Xiao Yu'er say that I met an interesting person?" It's rare that he thinks a woman is interesting, and she's about the same age as him. Such a great opportunity, how could we miss it. Xiao Yu'er is not young anymore, he doesn't worry about this kind of thing, so we naturally have to worry about him. ”

As an elder, in the end, he made the final decision: "Qiao Shu has attracted people's attention, Qiao Mu, you have a lively brain, move to the vicinity of the woman from today, anyway, we have a house there, we must observe it carefully, if it is suitable, we will create a chance for Xiaoyuer to follow her!" Hide this from your brother first, haven't you heard it? ”

Qiao Mu gave his father a thump on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Dad, I promise to complete things beautifully!" ”

Hao Cheng, who was at home and face, suddenly sneezed many times in a row, probably because she had a cold, she went to add some clothes first, she had to make snacks today, and she had to visit the neighborhood tomorrow to build a good relationship.
