Chapter 174: Dismal business

"Grandmother, Nian'er has just started to learn to do business, as long as one shop is enough, just this one on West Market Street, and the other shop also asks grandmother to take it back."

Ran Qiu thought that since the shop was opened in a prosperous area, it had never been famous, mostly because of poor management.

Since the business is not good, she can show her skills after taking over. As for the other one, the business is already good, and Ran Qiunian has no plans to take over the rectification.

Seeing that Ran Qiunian had made a decision quickly, her grandmother no longer insisted that she take over the two shops, and took back the extra one.

After lunch, Nian'er went to see the shop on Xishi Street to see how its business was. If everything is business as usual, with a little touch-up, you can open the next day. ”

The biggest problem was solved, Ran Qiunian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he sped up his lunch speed, and after eating in a hurry, he got up and planned to go out of the house to see the shop.

Grandmother looked at Ran Qiunian funny, nodded and let go, and when the people left, she whispered to the ginkgo waiting on the side: "This vigorous and resolute appearance is very similar to when I was young." ”

Ginkgo only stood aside and listened quietly, knowing that the old lady just wanted to talk at this time, and no one needed to respond, so she didn't answer.

"Okay, when people are old, they are always easy to get sleepy, help me go back to rest, if Nian'er comes back after reading the shop, just come and inform me again."

Grandmother stood up lazily and was helped back to the house by Ginkgo.

Ran Qiu read out of the house, and went all the way to the place written on the deed. Xishi Street is not far from Ran's house, and the carriage only travels for a while before it arrives at the place.

"Miss, the place you said has arrived, but there is no hairpin pavilion, but there is a shop without a sign, the door is locked, and it looks like no one has come to the door for a long time."

The coachman's voice came from outside, and Ran Qiunian felt strange when she heard it, so she lifted the carriage curtain and walked down from the car.

When I looked up, I really saw that the shop that was supposed to be hanging a small hairpin plaque was now bare and hidden behind a few dead trees.

"What's going on, according to what my grandmother said, this shop doesn't seem to be closed, why is the door locked during the day and no longer doing business?"

Ran Qiunian frowned, feeling that something was wrong, no wonder she had never seen this shop when she passed by Xishi Street in the past.

People say that the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, this jewelry shop is open on the most prosperous street, but there are so many orange trees in front of the door, not to mention ugly, those who want to come in to buy jewelry can't find where the shop is, how can business get better?

"Go over and call the door, see if there is anyone, if there is no one, just break the door."

Ran Qiunian gave the order to the coachman, took a few steps back, and waited for him to go and open the door.

This shop is dilapidated like this, but it doesn't look like a person, although the coachman has already guessed the result, he still patted the door first and called twice according to Ran Qiunian's meaning.

"Is there anyone in the shop?"

After two clicks, there was no reply, and the coachman did not wait much, but directly broke the door, and kicked open the wooden door that had some signs of decay, revealing the dim and damp main hall inside.

"Who dares to kick my door? I'm tired of being tired, isn't it, kicking people's doors in the blue sky and daylight, beware of being thundered by the sky! ”

The coachman was about to invite Ran Qiunian in, when there was a scolding sound from inside the door, and a young man with a dirty face came out of the door and stood in front of Ran Qiunian.

"Who are you?"

Ran Qiunian frowned and asked, his face a little displeased.

"I'm a guest here, I'm the master here, and I want to ask who you are! Why are you kicking on my door? ”

The young man who came out of the room was a little pale, looking like he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, he didn't look like a crown, his body was thin, and his voice was full of anger when he scolded people.

"What a big breath, why do you say that your shop is here? Do you have a title deed as proof? ”

Ran Qiunian heard him say that this shop was his, and he was suddenly a little unhappy. This is clearly her grandmother's dowry shop, and the book is the name of the General's Mansion, and now it has become something she Ran Qiu reads.

This person wants to make her things his own with a word, how can Ran Qiunian rely on it?

"I said that what is mine is mine, my family has been running this shop for generations, my father is the previous shopkeeper, my grandfather is the last shopkeeper, three generations up, this shop is our Qian family. Can you say it's not my shop? ”

The young man shouted, breaking his fingers to count Ran Qiunian, but he didn't mention the matter of the title deed, obviously he couldn't take it out at all, Ran Qiunian snorted lightly, and asked:

"So, now you're the shopkeeper?"

"It's ...... naturally"

The young man blurted out, and then he was a little unwilling to breathe, and muttered, "It was supposed to be mine...... What's your business? ”

When Ran Qiunian heard this, he sneered three times, took out the title deed in his arms, and shook it in front of the young man's eyes, and the young man's eyes also swayed left and right with the deed in Ran Qiunian's hand, and his eyes seemed to be glued.

"See? Who owns this shop now? ”

Ran Qiunian said proudly, but the young man knelt on the ground with a thud, startling Ran Qiunian.

"What do you do here?"

Ran Qiunian took two steps back, turned sideways to avoid the young man's big salute, and looked stunned.

"Owner, you are the owner! The small one has a lot of money, and if you have something to say, you will be looking forward to it! You're coming! ”

Qian Duo shed two tears as he spoke, looking miserable, as if he had a great grievance, and the contrast with Fang Cai's domineering momentum made Ran Qiunian a little overwhelmed.

"If you have anything to say, you are not ashamed of this person coming and going, go in first and then talk about it."

Ran Qiunian gave the coachman a look, and the coachman got the order, stepped forward and lifted up the money that was kneeling on the ground, and pushed open the remaining half of the wooden door with the person in one hand and the other hand, and walked in.

Ran Qiunian followed behind them, and after entering the house, she found that although from the outside, the shop was old and inconspicuous, but the inside was clean and tidy, which was more regular than she imagined.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, why has this shop become what it is now, why has this shop been abandoned for so long, and it has not been reported to the General's Mansion?"

Ran Qiunian intuitively felt that there must be something wrong here, and the person who knew everything was only in front of this young man who claimed to be rich and rich.

"It turns out that the ownership of this shop is the General's Mansion? Then the owner is the eldest lady of the General's Mansion? Qian Duo exclaimed, but what he said made Ran Qiunian feel even more suspicious.

"Don't tell me, you keep saying that you have been the shopkeeper of this shop for generations, but you don't even know who the owner of the shop is?"

Ran Qiunian didn't believe it, but it was exactly the case.

I only heard Qian Duo drooping his head and said in frustration:

"My mother died early when I was a child, and I was fostered in the countryside to live with my grandmother, after my grandmother died, I was taken back by my father, but I didn't obey his discipline at all, I ran away from home before the age of thirteen, and has been wandering."

Half a year ago, Qian Duo went back to the countryside to worship his grandmother, but found that his grandmother's grave was overgrown with wild grass, as if no one had come to clean it for a long time, so he suspected that something had happened to his father.

Although he couldn't get along with his father, he still had some admiration, and secretly ran back to the capital to take a look, only to find that his father had been dead for many days.

When asked about the neighbors, no one could understand how his father died, only that he saw a few guys in the shop come to look for his father, and no one has come to see him since then.

Qian Duo suspected that his father was killed by those guys, so he rushed to this shop, who knew that the building was already empty, and even the treasure of the town store at the bottom of his father's box was stolen.

This is terrible, there is a lot of money to report to the government, but no one accepts it, if you want to investigate the case, you must pay enough money, but all the money left by his father is only one shop, and there is nothing left that has been moved.

Qian Duo has been wandering for many years, and he is penniless, and he doesn't know who the owner of this shop is, and when he sells his father's small house and holds a funeral for his father, he has no place to stay, so he has to move into this shop.

He had neither the money nor the talent for business, so he could only guard an empty room, waiting for the time when the owner found out that something was wrong and sent someone over, and he would have the opportunity to tell his grievances.

"I see," Ran Qiunian nodded thoughtfully, and asked the money to speak again, this time he didn't refuse again, and stood up from the ground, "If what you said is not half a lie, I will definitely send someone to find out about this matter." ”

"Thank you to the owner, you are simply a bodhisattva in the world, and your great kindness and great virtue will never be forgotten!"

Qian Duo said loudly with red eyes.

Ran Qiunian looked at the empty shop and the only remaining manpower in the shop with a lot of money, and was a little difficult.

"Miss, how about you tell the old lady about this matter, and let the old lady change the shop for you?"

Seeing Ran Qiunian's swaying look, the coachman thought that she was retreating, so he took the initiative to propose.

"No, since I have taken over this shop, whether it is good or bad, I have to bear it with all my might, if I only know to go back to my grandmother when I encounter anything, then there is no need to open this shop."

Ran Qiunian sternly refused, it seemed that he was determined to continue here.

Qian Duo secretly listened to the conversation between the two on the side, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the words, he was afraid that Ran Qiunian would find trouble and was unwilling to meddle in this matter again, then his father's death would never be able to find the murderer.

After Ran Qiunian finished talking about the coachman, she turned her head to look at Qian Duo again, she touched her chin and looked up and down, this person looked weak, and she didn't know if it was reliable, whether it was a person who could use it.

Qian Duo was furious on his back when he was looked at by Ran Qiunian, although he wanted to dodge, but he thought that he had something to ask for, so he could only show a flattering smile to Ran Qiunian, looking a little stupid.

But Ran Qiunian's shop wants to open, the most lacking thing is manpower, if the money is reliable, Ran Qiunian doesn't care about letting him say that the generations of people have been shopkeepers, and then continue.
