Even Li Niang didn't expect that she would be able to meet an acquaintance. No, the acquaintance she thought of thought would be her own father, but it was definitely not this guy.

Ruan Bai looked at the undisguised disgust on Liniang's face and asked, "What is this?" The volume was not loud or small, just enough for everyone around to hear, including "that thing".

Li Niang immediately burst out laughing: "This is the 'big' merchant and old man in Leyang Town...... The Great Young Master. The old man had some business dealings with his father. "As for the others, for example, the eldest young master is a little confused, then there is no need to talk about it, you can see it directly; In addition, about some family affairs of the Mu family, at least in front of the young master Mu, she can't say anything.

Shepherd? Ruan Bai thought of Chu Hao's former boss and current colleague Mu Qianhu. The two places are so close that he doesn't believe that there is nothing to do with the two shepherds. Even if it doesn't matter at all, I'm afraid it can make a little connection.

It was a middle-aged man who looked like he was in his thirties and nearly forty years old, his hair was neatly combed, and it seemed to be oiled, reflecting in the twilight of the twilight sun, and the clothes on his body were as elegant as possible, generally similar to the girl Ruan Bai had seen in his previous life who didn't know how to wear makeup.

The middle-aged man is of ordinary height, but he is very imposing, and he just lifts his chin and hangs his eyes, looking down at people from above: "Hmph! A kid who hasn't grown his hair, didn't the adults in the family teach you how to speak? ”

Ruan Bai felt a little sore in his neck. However, he has seen a lot of this kind of person, and he can't be as knowledgeable as him, and the more he cares about him, the more energetic he becomes. He didn't feel that he had anything to talk about with the so-called eldest young master of a merchant family who had no real power, so he beckoned people at the moment: "Go first and take a look, if you are satisfied, you will settle it today, and then see if there is anything to change, it is best to complete things at one time today." ”

Master Mu has never been hung like this. After the group passed in front of him without squinting, his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets, and his chest hurt with anger, and he raised a hand to point at Ruan Bai's back and was speechless.

Cao Da walked last, sighed and grabbed the arm of the young master Mu: "Muda, you can't move." ”

Only then did the young master see Cao Da. Cao Da He knows that the Yicheng of Leyang Yi, the backer behind him is harder than their family, and he is Lord Cao of Shunyang Pass. And they are the same clan, Cao Da can be a post man, their family, as the same clan of Mu Qianhu, can only open a back door in business, and they have to give Mu Qianhu a lot of points every year. Of course, Cao Da's life may not be as comfortable as theirs, but Cao Da is always an official!

Master Mu didn't dare to give Cao Da a face no matter what he wanted, and his chin, which had been raised half a day high just now, also lowered, and he bowed slightly and asked, "Lord Cao, why are you here?" What is the origin of this? ”

He used to look at the Liu family unpleasantly, a small businessman with no background, he was often beaten by his old man, and he didn't look at how unruly the Liu family's life was, and his daughter could still do business with her father, which was really unruly.

Cao Da didn't think much of Mu Da, but just explained casually: "Don't ask what the reason is." Seeing that Mu Da still didn't give up, he was afraid that this person would really anger Ruan Bai, for the sake of Old Man Mu, he had to add, "I'm an errand runner in front of this one." ”

Mu Da's eyes widened, and then he knew that he was afraid, and he didn't dare to get close to Cao Datao anymore, so he said a few words casually and hurried away. After walking away for a few steps, he looked back at the house, and suddenly laughed out loud with a "hey": "The old man still wants Mu Er to marry Liu Liniang, but now people have climbed the high branches." ”

Ruan Bai and his entourage did not take Muda to heart. He looked at the house inside and out and nodded: "It's old, but it's not eye-catching, I'm afraid the roof tiles will have to be replaced, the fence will be built higher, clean up and add some guys, and you can move in." ”

Li Niang gestured at the wall: "This is still higher?" She took a fancy to this one because the walls were high enough.

"At the very least, it's going to be a foot long." Ruan Bai gestured, jumped up at will, and others didn't see any movement clearly, and saw that he was already standing on the narrow wall, "Look, you can come in with just flipping." ”

Li Niang and others: "......" No, even if this wall is not a zhang, it is more than one person high, and it is definitely not something that can be entered casually.

Cao Da had never seen Ruan Bai's force value, even if it was Li Niang and the others, they had opened their mouths wide at this time. Cao Da probably knew a little bit about Ruan Bai's background, and he also understood that it was definitely not easy for someone to come back from the grassland alive, but Ruan Bai's appearance was too deceptive. No matter how you look at it, he is a soft and well-taken rich boy, and the heaviest thing he picks up in his life is estimated to be no more than a brush, and his skills will be so neat......

In the eyes of the layman, this may not be able to see the truth. The Cao family was born in Jiangmen, and although Cao Da's relationship is far away, he will be able to do both in the end. With such a high wall, he could climb it, but it would never be so easy or so fast.

The manager of the Ya Shop, who had just run back from the Yamen, was called by Li Niang several times before he came back to his senses, and stammered: "This house has a total of 10,000 gold, and today you can pay a deposit of 30% in advance and go to the Yamen to apply for the house deed; The balance can be settled within three months. ”

The money that Ruan Bai distributed to everyone was definitely tens of thousands of gold. As the daughter of a businessman, although she is not very clear about the price level of Leyang Town, several nearby towns are actually similar.

"There's room for price, right?"

"I don't know how many of these houses are in the hands of the government now, and I don't know when I will be able to sell them when this military disaster broke out last year. If it is left empty and no one maintains it, it will not be long before there will be only a little land left. ”

"We have a lot of brothers and sisters here, if you give me a real price this time, I will look for you next time."

A needle to the point, a needle to the heart.

On a cold day, the tooth man's forehead was full of sweat, and he didn't dare to wipe it, wrinkling his face so sadly: "This price can't be cheaper anymore." In previous years, just such a house would cost twenty or thirty thousand gold. This also has a shop, and there is a lot of furniture in it, and the materials are all good wood. ”

"Wise people don't speak dark words. How many people are there in Leyang today? Even if you want to do business with those caravans, you have to wait at least a month or two to open a shop. "Well, that's just the time to renovate, move, and prepare supplies. Of course, this point Liniang is not prepared to let people know.

This time, the tooth man not only sweated on his forehead, but his back was wet, and he begged for mercy: "Miss Liu, this price is not set by me, it really can't be lowered anymore." ”

Ruan Bai watched the tooth man play. A woman's family has to live independently, even if she has a bad reputation for fierceness, it is better than being a soft bun and being bullied.

The two sides argued for another half an hour, but there was still no result. Ruan Bai looked up at the sky: "It's not early today, let's go back first." ”

Li Niang, who was still shrewd just now, suddenly became a delicate look: "Yes, master." ”

"Huh? If you have something to say, you can talk about it again! It's just that at this price, you're like this everywhere, how many years have I been doing this business......" The tooth man kept two sentences on his lips, and sneered in his heart. This kind of thing of pretending not to buy to make people reduce the price, he has seen a lot, and he wants to trick him into reducing the price, but there is no door.

Then, he watched Ruan Bai and his group leave, and really left without looking back.

Tooth Man: "......"

"Hey, Lao Cai, how much is this house? My young master asked for it. ”

Li Niang didn't know that the house she fancied had been amputated. Leyang Town is not big, but there are a lot of things to do in their group, and when they come out, the division of labor is clear, and everyone has some personal things to do, so at most it is a group of three or five people. At the appointed time, they gathered at the entrance of the town, and a dozen donkeys were together, like a small caravan. If it weren't for the fact that there are few people now, it will definitely attract onlookers.

Back at home, Ruan Bai waited for Chu Hao to come back, and then called Liniang to talk to the study together.

Li Niang was a little nervous: "I don't know what the master commands?" ”

Chu Hao didn't know why, so he urged Ruan Bai with his eyes.

Ruan Bai tapped the table with his fingers: "It's all my own people, and I won't beat around the bend." I didn't know that Liniang had her own plans to do business before, but now ...... I wonder if you'd like to be my surrogate? ”

Chu Hao understood as soon as he heard it, but he was slightly unhappy in his heart. It's just that he doesn't want to be honest with Ruan Bai in front of outsiders/Li Niang now.

"Agent?" Li Niang was puzzled.

"Well, it's me the boss, and you give me the job."

In Li Niang's heart, her life is Ruan Bai's, so what is there to be unwilling to work for Ruan Bai. However, she finally knew some Ruan Bai's character, and asked everything she could ask clearly, pretending to be thoughtful before agreeing: "If the master doesn't mind that Liniang is a woman, you can rest assured that you can entrust it." ”

She has been learning housekeeping with her mother since she was a child, and even she has been in contact with her father's business dealings, and when it comes to managing accounts or something, she believes that she is better than most men. But she also knows that if she wants to do business, if she doesn't have a backer behind her, she will definitely have to suffer a little. Now there is Ruan Bai standing behind him, even if Ruan Bai's official position is not high now, isn't there still a Chu Qianhu behind him?

Li Niang left with confidence, leaving Chu Hao to turn his face in an instant, and roared with a dark face: "What do you mean?" Didn't my brother say that he had a businessman, and you were drawing a line with your brother? "Does Ruan Bai still think that he can be separated from him?

In fact, when talking to Li Niang, Ruan Bai noticed some changes in Chu Hao's feelings, ignored Chu Hao's black face, hooked people's necks and kissed them several times: "Not angry?" ”

Chu Hao urged sadly in his heart: "Well, I'm not angry." "He has been eaten by male ghosts in his life!

"I'm not drawing a line with you." Nguyen Bai declared, "The merchant under your command now is from the barracks, and he is mainly the soldier in charge. After all, Liniang and the soldiers are different, and besides, there are some things that are more convenient for women to do. ”

What does a woman have to do? Have a baby? Chu Hao instantly wanted to be crooked.
