In short, when Xianchen heard the information about Gu Zichen and Ran Huaying, it was their love story that was more affectionate than Jin Jian, and she never imagined that Gu Zichen loved Ran Huaying and also liked herself.

When the carriage arrived in the east of the city, Xianchen followed the address on the title deed to find the shop, which was at the corner of the street in the east of the city, and the location was okay, but there were too few people coming and going on the street, and the whole street was deserted.

Xian Chen stood outside the shop, looked at the shop carefully, and then walked towards the shop, and Gu Zichen also followed.

This shop is a cloth business, and the people who come here to buy things are not very wealthy people, although the signboard hanging on the shop is "Jinghong Silk Village", in fact, all the clothes sold here are coarse cloth, and there are few silks.

There were no customers in the shop, except for a young man lying on a chair on the inside of the counter, dozing off and guarding the shop.

The little guy looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, wearing a coarse cloth coat that had faded but still clean, and there were no patches on the clothes.

Hearing the sound of footsteps in the shop, the guy opened his eyes and rubbed his sleepy eyes, Xu was not awake yet, yawning while formulaic propaganda: "The fabric of our store is of good quality, not easy to fade, wear it for a long time, and the two of you can choose at will." ”

"Young man, where is the shopkeeper in this shop?" Xianchen asked.

Hearing that someone came to find the shopkeeper, the young man woke up completely from sleep, he looked at Xianchen and Gu Zichen, and saw that the clothes on these two people were all high-quality satin fabrics, the man was graceful and extraordinary, and the woman was dignified and elegant and beautiful like a fairy.

The young man asked with big eyes, "What is the matter with you looking for the shopkeeper?" ”

"I'm the eldest lady of the owner, I want to know how the business of this shop is recently, whether the rent of the shop is reasonable, and now the market is raising the rent, let me take a look, do you want to go with the market and raise the rent again."

Xianchen deliberately said this, she was exploring the reflection of the young man, if this young man is the son of the shopkeeper, then he will be very sensitive when he hears the rent increase, and he will cry and bargain with himself.

Sure enough, the young man opened his mouth and said: "No, the eldest lady of the proprietor, the business in the east of the city is not as good as in the west of the city, most of the people living in the east of the city are poor, and the profit of our cloth is only a few cents, and we have to pay a rent of ten taels of silver every month, how many pieces of cloth do we have to sell to make up this rent, and you still have to rise?" ”

It seems that he is really the son of the shopkeeper, the spirit of ownership is fully displayed, and he was anxious when he heard Xianchen say that he wanted to increase the rent, and with a crackling word, he reported the amount of monthly rent and silver handed over to Ran Mansion to Xianchen.

Xianchen smiled, "Young man, is the shopkeeper in the backyard, go and call him, Miss Ben is in a good mood today, maybe she will also reduce the rent for you." ”

When the young man heard that he was going to reduce the rent, his face instantly brightened with joy, "My father is sleeping in the inner courtyard, young lady, you wait a minute." ”

After a while, a middle-aged man walked out of the backyard, the man was dressed in coarse cloth and plain clothes, with a small beard, his eyes were blazing, and he saw Gu Zichen at a glance, "Kang, Kang, His Royal Highness King Kang." ”

The shopkeeper would never have dreamed that His Royal Highness King Kang would come to his shop, and he was overjoyed, and knelt in front of Gu Zichen with a pop, and made a big salute to Gu Zichen, "The grass people knock on His Royal Highness King Kang." ”

This shopkeeper has been in Kyoto for more than 30 years, and he has rented a shop in Ran Mansion for seven or eight years, Gu Zichen often goes in and out of Ran Mansion, and he naturally has seen Gu Zichen.

When the young man heard this, he also knelt down, respectfully.

"You all get up, it's the eldest lady of the Ran family who came to you today, and this king is just an escort."

The shopkeeper got up and looked at Xian Chen, could such a beautiful and shining woman be the eldest lady of the Ran family? The shopkeeper muttered in his heart, didn't the rumor say that the eldest lady of the Ran family who came back from Jiaozhou was silly and ugly? He asked uncertainly, "Girl, are you really the eldest lady of the Ran family?" ”

"Of course." The words are like gold, the language is concise, there is no too much explanation, and there is no nonsense.

With Gu Zichen by his side, the shopkeeper no longer doubted Xianchen's identity, and the secret rumors may not be true, so he gave a deep salute to Xianchen with his hands and fists, "The tenant of the shop in the east of the city, Mr. Li, has seen the eldest lady." ”

Xianchen bowed back.

"It's not convenient to talk in the shop, Your Highness, Miss, please follow the little one into the inner room."

Shopkeeper Li led Gu Zichen and Xianchen into the inner room, and without waiting for Shopkeeper Li to ask, Xianchen went straight to the point and asked: "Shopkeeper Li, the people in Lord Xiaoyao's mansion, have they come to you to talk to you about paying rent?" ”

Shopkeeper Li shook his head, "Miss, this shop belongs to Ran's Mansion, how could someone from Lord Xiaoyao's Mansion come to me to talk about paying rent?" ”

The shopkeeper of this shop is an otaku, who is only concerned with buying and selling cloth, and rarely asks about outside affairs, so naturally he doesn't know what happened in Ran's Mansion recently.

Xian Chen had a number in his heart, after the full moon received this land deed, the people in Lord Xiaoyao's mansion did not come here to find the shopkeeper in the shop, it seems that Lord Xiaoyao and his family had indeed thought about it a long time ago, and wanted to return this shop to themselves, so the people in Xiaoyao's house did not come to disturb the shopkeeper in this shop.

Xianchen took out the title deed and transaction agreement and spread it out in front of Shopkeeper Li, who saw the title deed and transaction agreement and said in surprise: "How can this title deed be the name of the full moon girl?" ”

This shopkeeper Li didn't even know about the fact that Yue Yuan married into Lord Xiaoyao's mansion and got two shops, he was really a businessman who didn't listen to things outside the window and only sold his own cloth.

It's just that his business doesn't seem to have improved much.

Xian Chen simply told Shopkeeper Li about the process of transferring the shop into her hands, and then instructed: "Shopkeeper Li, now the owner of this shop is me, in two days I will take the transaction agreement and the title deed to the government to transfer the shop to my own name, and in the future, the rent of your shop can only be handed over to me and the people I arranged, and anyone else, including the lord and lady of Ran Mansion, come to collect rent, you can't give it to them, because this shop is bought by me with money, and it has nothing to do with Ran Mansion, if you pay the wrong rent, Don't blame me for being ruthless in taking the shop back. ”

Shopkeeper Li is not a subordinate of Ranfu, he is just an ordinary tenant, naturally, he only recognizes the owner of the title deed when he pays rent, who is the owner of this shop, he will give the rent money to whom, he immediately responded: "Okay, Li has written it down." ”

"Shopkeeper Li, I haven't been back to Ran's Mansion for a long time, I don't know what the monthly rent you paid to Ran's Mansion in the past, can you tell Xianchen?"

Xianchen had just found out the amount of the monthly rent and silver they handed over from the little guy's mouth, and she deliberately asked like this, just to test whether this shopkeeper Li was an honest person.

If the shopkeeper is an honest person, she will reduce the rent as a reward for his honesty, on the contrary, if he is dishonest, Xianchen will naturally increase the rent as a punishment.

"Miss Hui, this shop is on the fifteenth day of every month, and the housekeeper Yao in Ran's Mansion will come to collect rent, in the past, this shop Ran's Mansion collected eight taels of silver, and this year's rent has risen by two taels of silver and handed over ten taels of silver."

Yes, Xianchen was quite satisfied with Shopkeeper Li's answer.

"Well, since I am now the new owner of this shop, our cooperation is also a new cooperation, in order to show my sincerity, the rent of this shop, I will lower the two taels of silver that has risen in Ranfu, eight taels of silver per month, and I will come to collect the rent on the fifteenth day of each month."

The businessman was most happy to hear the rent reduction, and the shopkeeper Li suddenly had a happy face, and after signing the lease contract with Xianchen with a pen and paper, he happily sent Gu Zichen and Xianchen out of the shop.

Seeing Gu Zichen and Xianchen walking away, Shopkeeper Li hummed a little song and instructed: "Baby, go to the butcher shop to cut two taels of meat, and remember to make a pot of wine for your father again." ”

Shopkeeper Li is a typical kind of small businessman who is a little rich and peaceful, not seeking to be rich and expensive, just trying to support his family, and drinking a little wine to celebrate when he is a little happy.

Coming out of the shop, it was not early, Gu Zichen wanted to invite Xianchen to dinner, but the ghost sent him to blurt out "Next, where are you going?" ”

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm going home." Dust Road.

Obviously, I want to ask Xianchen to eat, but why can't I say the words when I talk about them? Gu Zichen suddenly felt that he had become stupid in front of Xian Chen?

He secretly adjusted himself, restored his true colors of a cold prince, and said expressionlessly: "This king is going to eat Buddha and jump over the wall today, are you willing to accompany this king?" ”

Gu Zichen pretended to be cold, but he didn't know that Xianchen was really cold, and he refused to be unceremonious and high-sounding, "I don't want to go, Miss Ben hasn't left the cabinet yet, and she hasn't returned home at this time, and gossip is indispensable." ”

Gu Zichen was rejected, and his face darkened suddenly, and then he thought about it again, a woman's name is indeed very important, and his face returned to normal after a while, so he pretended to be light and said lightly: "Okay, then the king will send you home." ”

What the? There is such a good thing, Gu Zichen sent himself to the east of the city, and he also sent himself back to Ran Mansion? Xian Chen doesn't know which tendon Gu Zichen is wrong? He's not here to be a coachman today, is he?

Although he was not the one who drove the horse, the carriage was his, and it was not too far-fetched to say that he acted as a coachman.

Seeing that Gu Zichen didn't look like he was going to embarrass himself, Xian Chen thought to himself, if there is a free carriage, he will not sit in vain, and if he sits in vain, he will sit in vain anyway, "Then thank you, His Royal Highness King Kang." ”

After Xianchen finished speaking, he got into the carriage as soon as he slipped through the smoke.

Fortunately, she didn't refuse to send her home, Gu Zichen was really worried that Xianchen would reject him again, and he refused so simply, this time he was not rejected, his heart actually had a little bit of joy.

When the carriage arrived at Ran's mansion, Xianchen was about to get off, Gu Zichen said again: "Wait, this king will go back to the house with you." ”

Xian Chen's heart chuckled, and his heart sank, what does this thing want to do today? "His Royal Highness King Kang, aren't you going to eat Buddha and jump over the wall today? There is no Buddha jumping over the wall in Ran's house. ”

"Yes." Gu Zichen cherishes words like gold.

"Okay, whatever you want." Slim dust is not nonsense.

Anyway, the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, and after taking a step at a glance, Xianchen jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the door of the Ran Mansion.

From the moment the gate of Ran's Mansion opened, Xian Chen was startled, the courtyard of Ran Mansion was full of people, and all the fierce gods looked at her viciously, if the eye knife could stab someone to death, Xian Chen at this moment had already been stabbed into a sieve, and he would die several times.

These people's faces are so strange, and Slim Dust doesn't know them at all; But why do these people see themselves as if they were enemies?

Ran Yune roared at Xianchen even more angrily, "Ran Xianchen, you evil girl, do you still know to come back?" ”

Xianchen was stunned for a moment, I don't know what kind of wind Ran Yune smoked?
