Chapter 170: Reclaiming the Mansion
After Qu Wu, Zi Yan and Mi Hong chatted for a while, the topic turned to the main topic.
"Ziyan, Sikong Ye Xiu has vacated all of your mansion two days ago, and now my father's guards have taken over the guards of the compound, and you can move in at any time." Mrs. Mi said.
"Great. I really want to go and see it sooner, thank you Aunt Pan. Zi Yan was overjoyed.
"No thanks, these are the things we should do. You have a lot of things to do, of course, first of course, you have to determine the successor of the title, and then you can recruit soldiers from among the commoners and take over the land that has been demarcated as the Zhuangyuan. ”
"Well, Ziyan remembered."
"That's right, Boss Mi, Mrs. Mi, Ziyan and I do have a lot of things to do when we come to Yingdu this time, the first is to settle the goods we brought first, and they are still on the ship; Then it is to find relatives for Ziyan; And then there's the matter of Ziyan's house. Qu Wu said.
"Where are you going to put the goods? Now several places are available, one is the warehouse in Maoyuan, the second is the mansion of Ziyan's family, and the third is to temporarily rent a warehouse. Qi Hong said.
"Since Lord Sikong has vacated our house, and we have the protection of the Taishi guards, why don't we put it there, I know which place is the best." Zi Yan said to Qu Wu.
"Well, well, so be it." Qu Wu said.
"Zi Yan, have you ever thought about how to start with the search for Zigui and Zixin?" Mrs. Mi asked with concern.
"Oh, because Zigui and Zixin didn't leave the address and name of the adopter when they were adopted separately, I think I can only find clues by posting a notice to find relatives." Ziyan said.
"But their adoptive parents may have regarded them as their biological children for a long time, how can they take the initiative to return them to you when you are looking for relatives like this?" Qi Hong said.
"I think the only way to do it is to use inducements." Qu Wu said.
"Does Mr. Qu have any tricks?" Mrs. Mi asked.
"Now the only clue is Zigui and Zixin's birthday, what I want is to use the way of a reward, in the way that someone wants to find a golden boy and jade girl who was born on the same day for his son, to find out the person who was born on the same day as Zigui." Qu Wu said.
"But what if someone pretends to be their birthday?" Ziyan asked.
"What I said just now is the people who were born on the day of Zi Gui Zixin, and when these people are all together, there are too many people, so you just need to find two people to accompany you and ask their parents to write down the time of their birth." Qu Wu said.
"Wonderful, I know, if Zigui and Zixin are in it, and their adoptive parents write that their birth dates match Zigui and Zixin's birthdays, you can roughly determine it." Mrs. Mi clapped her hands and said.
"This method is worth trying, and if their adoptive parents attach importance to their children's education, they will definitely bring them here. However, in order to attract their adoptive parents, they can also hang red and attract them with gold. Qi Hong said.
"yes, that's it." Ziyan said.
"After a while, I will draw up a reward revelation, and I will write it with my child looking for a companion to read, and it just so happens that the dog is also thirteen years old." Mrs. Mi said.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Mi and Aunt Pan." Ziyan said.
"Boss Mi, Mrs. Mi, there is one more thing I want to tell you, this time I am in Gusu, because I was blackmailed in Gusu Restaurant and tried my martial arts with others, and won the other party, and took over the position of the head of the Qingyun Gang of the Beggar Gang by mistake, you won't mind my identity, right?" Qu Wu said.
"Huh? Gongsun Feng was defeated by you? Mr. Qu is really a genius in both civil and military affairs. To tell you the truth, Gongsun Feng often comes to Yingdu, he is a famous family, although he bears the name of the leader of the beggar gang, most of the people he interacts with are famous nobles. Gongsun Feng has dealt with me a few times, and I have the impression that he has never met an opponent. Mi Hong exclaimed.
"Boss Mi has won the prize, Qu Wu just won by luck." Qu Wu said.
Hearing Mi Hong say that Gongsun Feng was a famous family, Qu Wu certainly knew that he was a descendant of Gongsun Zidu. In the Spring and Autumn Period, birth represents a person's identity and status, although Gongsun Feng's family cut the title and won the title, Gongsun Feng was also reduced to beggars, but in the upper class of Yingdu is still long-sleeved and good at dancing, left and right.
"Gongsun Feng also has a mansion in Yingdu, and I have also been to his house. However, Gongsun Feng's character is not a person who admits defeat easily, and if he loses to Mr. Qu this time, I'm afraid he won't give up so easily, right? Qi Hong said.
"There was a five-year contract before, but now he has agreed to be the deputy head of the gang." Qu Wu said.
"Oh, he's a bit of a gentleman, then." Qi Hong said.
"Actually, I don't want to take his position at all, the original intention of competing with him was to scare the spirit of the Qingyun Gang, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating and difficult to ride a tiger."
"With Mr. Qu's martial arts, it is logical for him to be the leader of the gang." Pan Hong said at this time.
After chatting for a while, Qu Wu and Mi Hong brought the topic back to cooperation, and the two agreed to display and sell Qu Wu's goods in batches in Qingya Teahouse, but tea is not sold in principle, and only people who come here to consume can taste tea.
It was also agreed that Qu Wu would send people to regularly instruct the tea house attendants to master the performance of the goods and how to use them.
After drinking tea, Mi Hong and his wife took Qu Wu and Ziyan to the mansion vacated by Sikong Ye Xiu.
When I came to the gate of this mansion, the plaque of Sikong's mansion on the gate had long been removed, and there were still two soldiers standing guard at the door.
The four of them walked into the door, the inside was cleaned, Ye Xiu's furniture had already been emptied, and it was replaced with the original furniture of the Zi family, although it was old, but it made Zi Yan feel as if she had traveled to her childhood, seeing things and thinking about people, and tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Mrs. Mi Hong saw that Zi Yan was uncomfortable, and hugged her shoulders, the Zi family was prosperous in the past glory days, but at this time there was only Zi Yan alone, which was embarrassing.
"Ziyan, these furniture are old and lacking, what are you going to do with it? If it is replaced, it needs to be re-ordered or purchased, and if it is repaired, it is necessary to let the craftsman enter the construction as soon as possible. Qi Hong said to Ziyan.
"Don't replace, repair. However, I have to change the furniture in the room I live in, otherwise it will be too uncomfortable to sleep at night. Ziyan said.
"In addition to furniture, the most important thing is to restore popularity, first get your relatives back, and then recruit maids and the like." Mrs. Mi said.
"yes." Ziyan said.
The four of them walked and chatted, and looked at the front and back of this mansion, and it could be seen that Sikong Ye Xiu had maintained this mansion very well, and left a lot of practical utensils, even if he only brought clothes now, it was enough for dozens of people to live immediately.
After seeing the Zijia house, the four of them walked out, Qu Wu and Zi Yan said goodbye to Mi Hong and his wife, and returned to Qingyun.
Qu Wu immediately summoned everyone to a meeting to arrange the handling of the goods, which was organized by Li Qianmo and implemented by Chen Shi.
Li Qianmo found the freight carriage and porter, and began to unload and load the car, and then Qu Wu and Ziyan took the freight carriage and Chen Shi's brothers and sisters to the Zijia mansion and loaded the goods into the warehouse of the mansion.
The Chen Shi brothers and sisters also brought their personal belongings over and lived in the Zijia compound, while Qu Wu and Ziyan still lived on the boat for the time being.
