"Anyway, it was Lou Gongzi who saw me first, and it took me a long time to recognize it." Li Qi said with great interest, "Mr. Lou is enthusiastic, and he also asked the address of our house and said that he would come to visit tomorrow." ”

Lin Xue nodded, I haven't seen Lou Chen for several years, I didn't expect it to be quite fateful, I met him as soon as I arrived in the capital, "Boss, that Lou Gongzi didn't say when he would come over tomorrow, so I'm going to prepare." ”

"That's not true." Li Qi walked towards the dining table as he spoke, Yunyun had already put the meal ready, and after sitting down, Li Qi said, "Xiaoxue, Lou Gongzi also mentioned that if you want, you can go to work in his restaurant." ”

"Forget it, I don't want to work for someone else." Lin Xue lowered her head and said, Lou Chen is a smiling tiger, if you make a friend, you can go back to work, so forget it.

"It's okay, let's open a small shop and make a little money." Li Qile continued to bow his head to eat, he didn't have any big ideals, as long as the family was together.

Early the next morning, Lin Xue sent Li Qi to send Feng'er to the school, while she stayed at home to entertain Lou Chen, boiled a pot of boiling water, and then put a few plates of snacks and fruits on the table.

Lin Xue asked Yunyun to accompany Tianbao and Tianbei in the house, and as soon as the door opened, she saw Lou Chen standing at the door with a small servant, carrying a few things in his hand.

Lin Xue said with a smile, "Young Master Lou, please come in, it's really hard for you to come all the way." ”

Lou Chen opened the fan and shook it, walked around the courtyard, and said, "This place is good, Lin Xue, you really have a vision, you can find such a good place when you just come to the capital." ”

Lin Xue took him to the living room and sat down, and said, "What's good, this house was haunted before and no one dared to live in it, so I was cheaper." ”

"Haunted." The little guy brought by Lou Chen exclaimed, with a frightened look in his eyes, "Young master, let's go, this place is not clean." ”

Lin Xue looked at Lou Chen with a smile, her eyes were full of banter, Lou Chen's face sank, knocked the little guy with a fan, and said, "What nonsense, if you're afraid, go out and wait for me, something that doesn't have the guts." ”

The little guy obediently took this beat, didn't dare to speak, glared at Lin Xue secretly, and walked out.

Lin Xue turned a blind eye to this, and a subordinate just lowered his identity with them, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lou Chen, and said, "Master Lou, I think you came here this time not only to catch up on the old days, we are all cheerful people, you might as well say it directly." ”

Lou Chen closed the fan and put it on the table, and said with a smile on his face, "It's true that Lin Xue can't hide anything from you, I do have something to discuss with you this time, I have opened a few restaurants in the capital, and business has been good, but I don't know why business has been getting lighter and lighter since last month, so I want to ask you to go to the restaurant to manage for a while, what do you think." ”

Lin Xuemin took a sip of tea, shook her head and said, "Lou Gongzi, if this is the case, then I'm afraid I can only refuse you, I don't want to cooperate with others and just want to do a small business by myself, so you better ask Gao Ming." ”

"Not really." Lou Chen's face was displeased, he came to the door in person to invite, this Lin Xue was so ignorant, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and it was fleeting.

"Lou Gongzi, the twisted melon is not sweet, the capital is so big that there are more people who have the ability than me, why do you have to hold on to me." Lin Xue was a little puzzled, it was good to say that there were not many talents in Lijia Village, but the capital was different, there was a sea of capable people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, why did Lou Chen have to come to invite him.

"It's me who was stunned, I thought it would be more convenient for acquaintances to cooperate, but since you don't want to, then forget it." Lou Chen was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on the surface, and still greeted him with a smile.

Seeing this, Lin Xue became vigilant, and became more and more taboo about Lou Chen, and quietly probed, "I don't know if Master Lou is doing recently, and I don't know what his situation is if I haven't seen him for a few years." ”

"Of course it's good, how can the son of the Lou family have a bad time." Lou Chen gritted his teeth and said, his expression moved and asked, "Lin Xue, it seems that you have a good impression of my eldest brother, I have met for a few years and I am still thinking about it." ”

Lin Xue lowered her head and smiled, and said, "Rural people are already shallow-eyed, and it is of course difficult to forget when I finally see a big man, and besides, I have children, is it possible that Mr. Lou is afraid that I have a plan against your eldest brother." ”

"Lin Xue, although I am a concubine, I am also a pivotal figure in the Lou family, and my eldest brother's greed for wine and lust is really not a good match." Lou Chen stood up and walked up to Lin Xue and raised his eyebrows and said, "You might as well put that heart for him on me." ”

Lin Xue stood up and took two steps back, widened the distance between the two, and said unhappily, "Master Lou, I just care about your eldest brother, I don't mean anything else, and I have been married to Xianggong for more than ten years, and my relationship has always been good, and my heart is all in him, and others can't shake it in the slightest." ”

Lou Chen smiled, sat on Lin Xue's stool and said, "Lin Xue, I'm just joking, I didn't expect you to take it seriously, but if you really have other ideas that day, you can come to me." ”

Lin Xue rolled her eyes, this Lou Chen is really narcissistic, no wonder he hasn't married a daughter-in-law at such an old age, just this virtue will not marry him unless he is blind, after thinking for a while, Lin Xue was in a much better mood, sat opposite Lou Chen and said, "Just kidding, otherwise I thought you had a problem with your thoughts, and you actually like a woman who has married and had children." Lin Xue also patted her chest exaggeratedly, with a relieved expression.

Lou Chen's face darkened decisively, he was not a pervert, this Lin Xue's mouth was simply too poisonous, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, my mind is normal, there is absolutely no problem." ”

Lin Xue snorted out laughing, restrained herself and said, "Okay, Lou Gongzi, I won't joke with you, that's the case, I plan to find a smaller shop, I don't know if you can help with this." ”

Lou Chen's face slowly returned to normal, and after thinking about it, he said, "Yes, yes, it's just that the location is not very good, otherwise I'll take you over to see it first, anyway, it's not far away." ”

said that he would go, Lin Xue explained Yunyun, and went to see the shop with Lou Chen, and the three of them walked along the road without taking a carriage, and arrived at the place in about a quarter of an hour.

It is a small restaurant with an area of about 30 square meters, and there is a small courtyard behind it that can accommodate people, Lin Xue took a general look at it, and was more satisfied, although the location is not prosperous, but the flow of people nearby is still quite large, and I don't know how the previous shopkeeper operated, and it will get to the point of closing.

"Lin Xue, how can you be satisfied, if it weren't for the shopkeeper's family accident and urgent need for money, I wouldn't have sold this shop, I originally wanted to take it down myself, if you want it, then let it be given to you." Lou Chen asked as he stood at the door.

Lin Xue suddenly realized that this was the reason, it seemed that she still wanted to fork it, and she didn't say politely to Lou Chen, "That's okay, I'll ask for this shop, Lou Gongzi, I don't know where the shopkeeper is, I want to sign the formalities as soon as possible and do business as soon as possible." ”

"Lin Xue, don't be so anxious, otherwise the deed of this shop is here, you give me the silver, and the shop will belong to you, and I will help you with the rest of the procedures." After speaking, Lou Chen instructed the little servant to go back and get something.

"Okay, then I'll bother you." Lin Xue found two stools to wipe them clean and beckoned Lou Chen to sit down and wait.

"Lin Xue, what kind of business are you going to do, won't it be the same as before." Lou Chen asked curiously, but he felt that Lin Xue would not open a restaurant.

When it comes to fast food, Lin Xue remembered the osmanthus and Dazhu who she used to open a store with, although she fell out later, but at the beginning, the two helped her a lot, calmed down, and said, "Of course not, I plan to ......" Lin Xue was suddenly stunned, she really didn't think about what to do, just thinking about finding a store, she smiled awkwardly and said, "I really haven't thought about it, let's take a step at a time." ”

"Also, when I first came to the capital, everything has to start again, and it is right to be cautious." Lou Chen said expressionlessly, but he felt that Lin Xue was guarding against him, so he refused to tell the truth.

After chatting for a while, the little maid also came back with the deed, Lou Chen took it and handed it to Lin Xue and said, "It should have been 1,300 taels, you can give 1,000 taels of silver, and I will give you the remaining 300 taels as a gift to you." ”

"How can that work, it's already interesting enough for you to give me this shop, how can I let you break the bank again." Lin Xue shook her head, she just wanted to take out the silver but remembered that she forgot to bring it when she went out, patted her forehead and said, "Lou Gongzi, why don't you send someone to go back with me to get it, I forgot to bring the silver when I came out just now." ”

Lou Chen opened the fan and shook it, and said, "Don't be so troublesome, I don't know what you are, I can give it to you next time we meet." ”

Lin Xue didn't follow, she always felt unsteady in her heart when she owed others money, and besides, she had money but not no money, so she said to Lou Chen, "Wait a minute", and ran back to get the money.

Panting and running to the house to get the money and running to the shop again, Lin Xue leaned against the wall and rested for a while before relieving, Lou Chen said with a smile, "I really don't know what you're worried about, you have to make yourself so tired, why are you afraid that I will go to your house to ask for debts." ”

Lin Xue glanced at Lou Chen, not afraid of him as a smiling tiger, Lin Xue didn't want to have too much to do with him, so she took out the silver ticket and handed it to Lou Chen and said, "You count, it's just one thousand three hundred taels, if it's no problem, I'll take the deed." ”
