Chapter 121 Acquisition of the Wu Family's Property
When the county magistrate heard the bacon sausage, he subconsciously looked at Lu Xiaoyao, the bacon sausage in the basket was still exuding fragrance, and after half a ring, the county magistrate signaled the coachman to accept the bacon sausage in Lu Xiaoyao's hand.
"I wish you a smooth journey." Lu Xiaoyao took the lead, and when the others saw this, they all said words of blessing to the county magistrate.
The official opened the road, and soon, the frugal carriage disappeared into the county seat.
"I wonder what kind of person the new prefectural lord will be?"
The carriage of the county magistrate was no longer visible, and the people withdrew their eyes one after another, and some people began to discuss.
"I don't know, it's said that it will be there in two days."
"Let's pray, pray for a good official like the previous prefectural magistrate."
Hearing the words of the people, Lu Xiaoyao didn't speak, turned around and walked towards Xiaolanzhuang.
No matter what kind of person the new prefectural magistrate is, the most important thing is to be yourself.
Back in Xiaolanzhuang, Lu Xiaoyao became busy again.
The busy time is always fast, and the prosperous day has passed in a blink of an eye, and when it is time to go home, Zhao Guanlan came in a hurry.
"Xianggong, are you done?" Lu Xiaoyao said with a smile, instructed Hu Tao to close the shop, and then followed Zhao Guanlan away.
Zhao Guanlan nodded and led Lu Xiaoyao home.
Following
Lu Xiaoyao got up, Zhao Guanlan was no longer at home, he was used to getting up early and being busy, Lu Xiaoyao didn't think about anything else, got up for breakfast, and went to Wang Si's house.
Xiao Bainiang took two medicines, her condition improved, and now she eats and lives better than before, and her complexion looks much better than before.
Lu Xiaoyao checked her pulse as usual, prescribed a new prescription, and then asked Xiao Bai to grab the medicine.
When Lu Xiaoyao came out of Xiao Bainiang's room, he happened to see Wang Si coming in with food, and Wang Si saw Lu Xiaoyao and greeted him with a smile.
"Sister-in-law."
Wang Si used to call Lu Xiaoyao's sister-in-law, but later Lu Xiaoyao disliked the word Mrs., so Wang Si directly changed his name to sister-in-law.
"Messing up so much grain?"
Lu Xiaoyao was puzzled, Wang Si came in, Wang Wu also carried it in, and there were already several bags of grain piled up under Langyan, which made Lu Xiaoyao puzzled.
Hearing Lu Xiaoyao's inquiry, Wang Si touched his head and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, it was Brother Dawu who asked him to move back, he bought the Wu family's grain and oil shop, and the quality of the grain in it was not good, so let us move it back to deal with it." ”
Zhao Guanlan bought the Wu family's grain and oil shop, Lu Xiaoyao hasn't heard Zhao Guanlan say this news, the Wu family's shop, it's not big, it's not small, how can it suddenly be sold?
Lu Xiaoyao was puzzled.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoyao was puzzled, Wang Si remembered Zhao Guanlan's instructions, and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, we are busy, you wait for us for a while, unload the grain and send you to the shop, Dawu said that he is waiting for you over there." ”
Lu Xiaoyao nodded, and Wang Si went to carry the grain again.
Lu Xiaoyao didn't wait long, Wang Si and Wang Wu finished moving the food on the carriage and drove Lu Xiaoyao away.
Sitting in the carriage, Lu Xiaoyao was still thinking, how did Zhao Guanlan take over Wu Fugui's grain and oil shop?
Now that Wu Fugui is almost only left with a grain and oil shop that is still making money, how can he be willing to sell it to Zhao Guanlan, will he sit on the ground and raise the price?
Without waiting for Lu Xiaoyao to continue to wonder, the carriage had stopped, and Wang Si said outside, "Sister-in-law, Dawu is in the shop, will you come down?" ”
Lu Xiaoyao thought that when she arrived at Xiaolanzhuang, she would definitely come down, but when she got off the car, she saw that the carriage had arrived outside the Wu family's grain and oil shop.
"Daughter-in-law."
Zhao Guanlan had already greeted him, and when Lu Xiaoyao got out of the car, he held his hands.
"Daughter-in-law, look, this place will belong to our family in the future." Zhao Guanlan was obviously very happy and took Lu Xiaoyao into the shop.
The grain and oil shop is very large, but it is already empty, and only some grain scattered on the ground can prove that it was once a grain and oil shop before this.
The location here is also not bad, two streets apart, there is the drunken incense building, and the heart also belongs to the prosperous area of the county.
Lu Xiaoyao glanced around the shop, and finally returned his gaze to Zhao Guanlan and asked, "Why did you remember to buy this shop?" ”
Lu Xiaoyao asked the doubts in his heart, this shop with a good location should have asked for a lot of silver, right?
Facing Lu Xiaoyao's inquiry, Zhao Guanlan smiled before he spoke, "The Wu family is now in debt, and Wu Fugui, the grain and oil shop, can't continue to operate, so it naturally comes out." ”
Zhao Guanlan told Lu Xiaoyao about the situation of the Wu family.
It turned out that Wu Fugui had been doing business with Wang Zhenyuan's brother Wang Zhennan, but because of the influence of Qingjiu and the matchmaker, the situation of the Wu family was no longer good.
The money for the purchase of grain is almost all of Wu Fugui's belongings, and he wanted to use the grain this time to make a comeback, but he didn't expect to lose a lot.
Mrs. Wu rushed back from her mother's house and learned that her children had gone to prison, and the head of the family had a stroke again, so she had no choice but to sell all the family's properties.
When the property was sold, Mrs. Wu learned that only this grain and oil shop was left in the Wu family's industry.
"Xianggong, are we taking advantage of the fire to rob?"
After Zhao Guanlan told Lu Xiaoyao about the transaction price of the grain and oil shop, the corners of Lu Xiaoyao's lips twitched, and he couldn't help asking.
Zhao Guanlan shook his head, "This is just an empty shelf, and the only food left is also inferior goods, and they don't lose money." ”
Zhao Guanlan's eyes were sharp, if it weren't for the sake of Wu Fugui's family, he didn't want to give him a way out, and giving them twenty taels of silver to buy this shop would already be benevolent and righteous.
Hearing Zhao Guanlan's words, Lu Xiaoyao didn't say anything more, and faintly guessed in his heart that Zhao Guanlan was taking revenge on the Wu family.
Lu Xiaoyao walked around the shop, and then came to Zhao Guanlan and asked, "Xianggong, what are you going to do here in the future?" ”
As soon as Lu Xiaoyao's words fell, he heard a noisy sound at the door, and then a team of people stopped at the door of the grain and oil store.
"Brother Zhao, I've delivered it to you."
The person who came was Wang Zhenyuan, followed by a team of people and horses, and the carriage was full of large bags and small bags.
Zhao Guanlan smiled, led Lu Xiaoyao to meet him, and politely thanked Wang Zhenyuan, "Boss Wang, I'm so embarrassed to bother you to run in person." ”
Hearing Zhao Guanlan's words, Wang Zhenyuan waved his hand, "What's embarrassing, I have to hand over these grains to you personally, so I can rest assured." ”
