"Shopkeeper Qiu, you heard it just now, he agreed, I just glanced at this house, it is spacious enough, and compared with the drawings, I generally know the specific situation, and I am quite satisfied with it, so I set it, and the price I remember that you marked it there is a thousand taels of silver, which is called really cheap. I'm here to bother you to hurry up and go through the formalities and give me the title deed, and find a few craftsmen with good craftsmanship by the way, I need to repair the house a little, and as for the slaves, I will find a tooth woman to come over tomorrow, and after looking at each other, I will decide. In addition, look at the introduction of a trustworthy nursing home, I need two here, and the salary is according to the basic salary here. ”

"Eight taels of silver a month."

"Find two to come first, you must check the character, but don't send everyone over, of course, if there is a skilled and trustworthy women's nursing home, you can give priority to hiring. We'll take care of the rest ourselves. ”

"No problem. When there is no meeting, someone will send the paperwork, and after signing, everything can be handed over. ”

"Well, by the way, please also ask the shopkeeper to take the merchant with him."

"No problem." Shopkeeper Qiu glanced at Shang Ruoshui's appearance, and then nodded in response.

Perhaps only after Shang Ruoshui leaves the merchant's house can he get rid of the influence brought to him by the merchant, and he believes that his life will get better, at least he will not be so hungry as this.

"Hey, hey, what are you guys talking about? Selling a house? Have you asked a few masters? ”

Shen Zhuru was still finalizing the purchase of a house at the door, and a flowing voice came, looking at the source of the sound. Obviously, I saw three men in their thirties, swaying and chewing a chicken leg in their mouths. The unbelievable chin held high.

Qiu Heng frowned, glanced at Shang Ruoshui on the side, and smiled kindly when he saw the other party, and suddenly couldn't understand the reason why he ended up like this?

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Don't you know that this house is owned by Tonghui Bank, and you people can come and go at will? Qiu Heng asked in a deep voice, but the other party obviously didn't like him.

"You old thing, don't talk nonsense. The master is a guest invited by Shang Ruoshui, and he is the owner of the house before it is sold. It's not your turn to shout here, you have been living here for a few days, how about eating and living? Could it be that you still dare to be rude? Believe it or not, a few people will go directly to the door of your Tonghui Money Village and tell everyone. You don't talk about credit. It's just that I will entrust you to sell the house, and before the house is sold, you will pretend to be the owner's family, and drive away the guests of the original owner's family, which is arrogant and unreasonable, and violates the reputation. I see that you will at least lose a lot of customers through the money bank, so I don't know if you believe it or not? ”

Facing a group of rampant hooligans, how could Qiu Heng not be angry in his heart.

Thinking that he is the shopkeeper of the bank, even the county lord on this side of Canghai City has to be polite when he sees him, how could he have been threatened like this by a few ruffians.

"Wow. I'd like to see how you have ruined the reputation of my bank. Go, go. If you don't go, I'll let someone escort you there. ”

"Old thing, play tricks with the master, you are looking for death." The hooligan who spoke directly swung his fist towards Qiu Heng, and it hit him directly in the face, the force was so fierce that he saw that a tooth was broken and flew out, making Shen Zhuru and Yueyang confused.

She also thought that this Qiu Heng, as the shopkeeper of Tonghui Bank, should be a little skilled to dare to speak so cruelly to these three hooligans alone, but she didn't expect to be so weak, and her teeth were broken by the other party's fist.

"Let your old thing threaten me and beat you to death."

"Yueyang, do it." Shen Zhuru hurriedly spoke, and saw Yueyang directly unload the arm of the hooligan who beat people in three or two times, kicked and fell to the edge of the door wall, grinning in pain, looking at the condescending Yueyang with a look of fear.

"The heroine spares her life, we don't dare, please spare your life, spare your life." The three of them are busy begging for mercy, they are really soft-boned, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.

"Shopkeeper Qiu, are you okay?" Shen Zhuru helped the person up and asked with concern.

"Hmm." Qiu Heng nodded, spit out the blood in his mouth to the side, and dropped out another tooth, but the front tooth was broken by the other party.

Qiu Heng stood up, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and looked coldly at the three people on the ground.

"I'm tired of Miss Shen, wait a while, I'll come when I go." Qiu Heng said, left with a calm face, and took about a cup of tea to catch two quick catches, and directly took the three hooligans away, looking at the indifferent look of the three people, the fate of these three people will definitely not be good.

Qiu Heng will only come over for some time, Shen Zhuru and Yueyang simply take a look around the house, and Shang Ruoshui did follow behind like a little daughter-in-law, staring at Shen Zhuru with eager eyes, hoping that she would change her mind.

Shen Zhuru didn't want to cause trouble, although raising one more person was nothing, but this Shang Ruoshui was synonymous with trouble at first glance, whoever touched it was unlucky, it was better to let Qiu Heng take it away.

"Miss, the main house will be repaired first and then move in, the slave and maid see that the guest room is still new, why don't you stay in the guest room first, and wait until the main house is repaired before moving in?"

"It depends on you. However, remember to take care of the flowers and plants, and prune them that should be pruned to look neat and comfortable to live in. The fence was also painted, after all, it was meant to be a permanent residence. ”

"Yes, miss."

Yueyang accompanied Shen Zhuru to stroll, while noting down the places that needed to be repaired, just waiting to find a craftsman, and repair it as instructed to make this house look better.

After all, the foundation of this place is good, and it won't take too long to complete the repair, and if it is all completed, it can be completed in two months. Just in time to live in a new house before the Chinese New Year.

In order to save time, the craftsmen are the people of Baijiafang, it is very convenient to go to work, the workload is absolutely full, and the price is cheap, and the craftsmanship is guaranteed by Qiu Heng. I'm not worried.

"Ruoshui, get out of here with me. In the future, this side will not be your home anymore, don't worry. The money bank will take care of you. Qiu Heng patted Shang Ruoshui on the shoulder, knowing that he was not willing to leave the old mansion of this merchant, but he also tried it just now, and was willing to stay as a long-term worker.

But this still made Shen Zhuru refuse, and even gave him a red envelope of ten taels of silver. Let him go.

"Shopkeeper Qiu, I can't bear it. I don't want to leave here. Since I can't stay in the merchant's house, then I. Then it's no problem for me to live here. Shang Ruoshui said and pointed to the location of a hundred-year-old tree outside the courtyard wall, which happened to have long since died, leaving a bare stump, and the stump was hollow. Just lay a wooden board on top. After laying some hay, it can live for an adult man, but the space is small, and he can't turn over, so he can only curl up a little and sleep in it, but he doesn't have to worry about the wind and rain, and it is a simple snail house.

"Why do you bother? Come with me, you will have food and shelter. No matter how bad it is, it's better than living in a tree hole, this is not your home anymore. What's the point of dwelling on. ”

"But I've grown up here, and I don't know anywhere else but here. You also know that my father died early, and if it weren't for the help of Qian Zhuang, I would have been kicked out of the house and lived alone. I've lived there for at least 10 years, and that's where I'm most familiar. ”

Faced with Shang Ruoshui's words, Qiu Heng only felt full of guilt.

He was counting on taking this house without spending a penny, and as for raising Shang Ruoshui, how much silver could he get, how ashamed he was to be so grateful.

Although the price of this house is not as good as the previous two houses, it is also because it is empty, and the house that is half sold and half given away by the big customers of Qian Zhuang is so grateful to Shang Ruoshui, and he is really panicked.

"If you want to be here, stay here. Maybe if you persist like this, you can impress that Miss Shen to take you in, even if you are just a subordinate there, at least you can live on your own. In the meantime, I'll have someone bring you something to eat. When you have a job, the money bank will give you three taels of silver every month, and you will slowly save up to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Shang Ruoshui said gratefully.

"Call me Uncle Heng in the future."

"Oh, Uncle Heng."

Qiu Heng shook his head, and left without caring about Shang Ruoshui.

After spending the night in the newly purchased house, the craftsmen came early in the morning and brought the wood they needed to start working.

Shen Zhuru and Yueyang were going to see the shop today, and Lao Su, who had stayed in his new home for the time being, drove the two of them over in a carriage.

"Hello Miss Shen." As soon as Shang Ruoshui saw Shen Zhuru and Yueyang coming out, he hurriedly ran to say hello.

"Why are you here? Didn't you leave with Shopkeeper Qiu? What are you doing here so early in the morning? My young lady won't let you work here. Yueyang opened his mouth to refuse, and he was not in a good mood when he saw Shang Ruoshui.

"I didn't leave with Uncle Heng, I, I live there, and we will be neighbors in the future." Shang Ruoshui stretched out his hand and pointed to the tree hole that had been tidied up, where some hay and his luggage and bedding were piled up, and a wooden board was pressed against the stone as a roof, so he made a snail dwelling, and there was a simple bamboo door.

Yueyang couldn't help but be a little speechless, but she couldn't drive people away. After all, that place didn't belong to Shen Zhuru, so he didn't have a position. Even if there is, everyone is like this, and it is really unreasonable to drive people away.

Yueyang couldn't help but look at Shen Zhuru.

"Let's go." Shen Zhuru's attitude was indifferent, and she didn't say anything, even if she acquiesced to Shang Ruoshui's behavior, at least it didn't hinder them, and there was no need to do too much.

Leaving in the morning, Shen Shishen Zhuru and his party came back.

The shop has been finalized, also on the side of Baijiafang, but it is the shop at the end of Baijiafang near the direction of the wharf, a two-story high, 120 square storefront, and the shop that was bought for 3,000 taels of silver is more expensive than her house, but fortunately, there is a lot of traffic here, close to the wharf, and even taking aquatic products can be the freshest.

Originally, it didn't take that long after a shop was finalized, but Shen Zhuru asked to see the wharf where the source of goods was located, and learned about the types of aquatic products here, so as to draw up a menu.

As for the business policy, it will not follow the medicinal restaurant, after all, it is easy to attract the attention of some people, and it is just the setting of an ordinary seafood restaurant.

Even the money to buy a house and a shop, Shen Zhuru only used the spare savings funds, and did not use the embezzlement funds stored in the Tonghui Qian Zhuang Medicinal Restaurant.

It's all just to live a quiet life, and I don't want to mess with what happened to the past.

When Shen Zhuru came back, it happened that the people from Tonghui Qianzhuang brought rice to Shang Ruoshui, a big bowl of white rice, a few pieces of meat and vegetables, which were also rich.

Shang Ruoshui is still like that, as soon as he sees them coming back, he has to run over to say hello, and then go back to his snail's house to do his own things after seeing her enter the house.

Every day, Shen Zhuru had to go out to inspect the market, and by the way, he found someone to clean up the shop, and ordered some tables and stools to prepare for the opening of the store later.

For seven days in a row, busy in and out, this Shang Ruoshui also greeted her with a smile on his face rain or shine, rain or shine, and his patience was really not ordinarily good.

"Miss, this Shang Ruoshui is like this every day, it is indeed a little annoying, so you don't need to drive him away. The slave maid has already inquired, that piece of land belongs to the official family, as long as you spend a little money and enclose this piece of land into our land deed, there will be a reason to drive people out. Yueyang sat in the carriage and looked at Shang Ruoshui, who was wearing a cloak and watching them leave, and couldn't help asking.

"Don't bother, just do what you have to do."

"Yes, miss."

Yueyang was helpless, Shen Zhuru said this, and he could only give up.

On September 18th, the weather was fine, Shen Zhuru and Yueyang finished their work in advance, finalized the opening of the shop on the 20th, and let the craftsman of the plaque shop make the signboard of the house and send it to hang, and her Shen Zhuru's residence will be called Biyuan.

"Stinky boy, you are also the owner of this house, after selling the house, how can you only have so many pieces of broken silver, are you kidding me? I remember that your father left a large sum of silver before he died, and no matter how you look for it, there will be some leftovers, less than one or two pieces of broken silver, are you sending food? ”

"Cousin, I really don't have any money, I have survived all these years by relying on money from the bank, and this bit of silver is still saved by helping others do some needlework. Not much. Shang Ruoshui replied in a hoarse voice, followed by a cough.

"The money saved by needlework? Yo, you kid can really break it. But I remember that your kid looked good when he was a child, although this will be skinny and look a little infiltrating, it is better for you to go back with your cousin, I will raise you for white and fat, and sell it to the Blue Yan Pavilion in the city, and you can also exchange it for some silver flowers, and you may not worry about eating and drinking in the future. Look how good I am to you. Brothers, do you say how I am? ”

"Brother Chang is really a kind person, the ancient way is warm!"

"Haha......" (To be continued......
