So, Zhuo Qiaoniang and the maid Caosui changed the room back and arranged for the old lady Leng Changbei to live in the master bedroom. Younger brother Leng Fu lives in the next room.

Leng Yi's current servants, except for the grass ears, are all hired by the imperial court, and there is no one who can take care of the old lady, so Leng Yi said: "Let's go out to eat at noon, and after eating, we will go to the Renyazi Market to see if there are any old mothers and maids or servants you like, and buy them back to serve you." ”

Leng Fu suddenly became happy, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "This said, I can be like the young master of a big family, and have my own maid?" ”

Without waiting for Leng Yi to speak, Leng Changbei had already reprimanded Leng Fu with a cold face and angrily: "Don't you have no hands and feet?" Can't you take care of yourself yourself? ”

Leng Fu quickly restrained his smile and said, "This is what my brother said, I don't plan to let the maid servant serve." ”

Leng Yi said: "Grandpa, you are old, and you should enjoy the blessings." Let the servants serve, and it will be worry-free. ”

Leng Changbei originally glared at Leng Fu, but when he turned his face to talk to Leng Yi, he changed his smile and said, "Grandpa knows that you are filial, but grandpa has lived for seventy years and has not been served, so he is not used to it." Besides, grandpa is still strong now, don't worry, grandpa can take care of himself. Don't buy any maids and servants. I think that the maids and servants that you have been assigned to you by the court in the mansion are enough. Speaking of this, Leng Changbei hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Also, your money is not easy to come by, don't spend it indiscriminately, in the future, there will be more places to use the money!" Know how to save! Listen to grandpa! ”

Leng Yi smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, just do what grandpa wants." ”

Leng Changbei suddenly became happy, and then said: "There is more! Don't go down to the restaurant at every turn, it's too expensive! Your daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is very good, let's eat it at home! Save money. ”

Leng Yi originally wanted to say that there was a cook from the imperial court at home, and there was no need for Zhuo Qiaoniang to cook, but Zhuo Qiaoniang had already preemptively said: "Thank you for the old lady's compliment, my grandson and daughter-in-law will cook immediately, let's eat at home." ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang's cooking skills are very good, and she didn't have much effort, so she prepared a good table of good dishes. Leng Yi and his younger brother Leng Fu accompanied their grandfather Leng Changbei to drink a few times the wine.

Full of wine and food, Leng Changbei shouted to see those businesses.

Leng Yi said that he had worked hard all the way, and it was not too late to rest for a few days before leaving, but Leng Changbei couldn't sit still, and he was anxious to see how his grandson's business was, so he insisted on going. Leng Yi couldn't, so he had to ask Cao Sui to take the old lady and Leng Fu to the ready-to-wear store first to buy two sets of high-end robes to change, and then go to the few shops he bought and take over these shops as the owner. Leng Yi was inconvenient to come forward, so he did not accompany him.

Leng Changbei and Leng Fu followed Cao Sui to a ready-to-wear store.

The shopkeeper saw the grass spike and was very affectionate. Cao Sui asked him to quickly find a ready-to-wear dress for the old lady and Leng Fu. The shopkeeper agreed, and personally found two sets, and the fabrics were of high quality. Take it to Leng Changbei and Leng Fu.

Leng Changbei took it, touched it, screamed, glanced at the shopkeeper, and said to Cao Sui: "Girl, forget it, I'll wear the original one very well." ”

Cao Sui said with a smile: "Old lady, this is what the old man ordered, you can change it, don't worry about anything else." ”

"Don't worry about it, it costs money!" Leng Changbei rubbed the smooth and soft robe, "This will cost at least five thousand wen!" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Old lady, this is the best fabric, selling for 10,000 yuan!" ”

"Ouch!" Leng Changbei hurriedly put the robe in his hand on the table, and was afraid that he would get dirty and make trouble for himself if he fell to the ground, so he quickly pushed it in again, and saw that Leng Fu next to him was still stunned and took the robe on his body to compare, stomped his feet and said: "You rabbit cub, don't put it down quickly!" How can you afford to pay for such a valuable thing! ”

Leng Fu was startled and quickly put down his robe.

Cao Sui said with a smile: "Old lady, second master, don't worry, this ready-to-wear store was bought by our eldest master." It's your own thing, so it doesn't matter if it's broken! ”

The shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear store looked at the grass spike in surprise and said with a smile: "Grass spike girl, are these two ......?" ”

"This old lady is the owner's own grandfather, and he is here to take care of the business. This is the second master! ”

"Oh, I see. The little one has seen the old lady and the second master! The shopkeeper was busy making a salute.

Leng Changbei and Leng Fu both looked at the grass spike in surprise, and Leng Changbei asked hesitantly, "This shop, is it really our family?" ”

"yes." Cao Sui said, "In the future, you will be the owner of this place, these robes, don't you want to wear that and that?" Moreover, you are now the owner of one of the largest shops in Bazhou, and if you don't dress decently, you don't deserve your old status. ”

"That's that, that's." Leng Changbei said, straightened his waist, returned the salute to the shopkeeper, and then picked up the ready-to-wear clothes, kneaded and rubbed it, and said, "Since this is the case, then let's change it?" ”

Leng Fu smiled and said, "What's so polite?" Brother asked us to change, let's change. Caosui is reasonable, if you don't wear a decent point, people don't take us seriously. ”

Leng Fu used to wear a coarse cloth shirt to go to the city to visit the shops, and he was not less blind to other shops. I know the pain of it.

Leng Fu changed his robe and said to the shopkeeper: "Wrap our clothes and I'll take them." ”

Cao Sui said: "Second master, don't want this coarse cloth clothes." ”

Leng Changbei said: "Ouch, that's not good, you can still wear this clothes, why don't you want it?" ”

Leng Fu also said: "Yes, this dress is still good, it was newly sewn for the Chinese New Year the year before last, and I am usually reluctant to wear it, but I have to come to see my eldest brother this time, so I will change it." ”

Cao Sui hurriedly said: "Okay, then stay in the store, let's take over the shop, and come back to get it." ”

Leng Changbei said: "It's also done!" As if he was afraid of losing his clothes, he handed them to the shopkeeper, looked at the clothes a few more times, and then followed the grass out of the shop. The shopkeeper kept sending out the shop before handing it over.

Leng Changbei and Leng Fu had never worn robes, he used to wear coarse cloth shirts, how could he have worn the robes of this literati and inkman, and they were made of the best fabric. The two of them walked down the street, always feeling that the people on the street were looking at them, so they just lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at people, as if the clothes were stolen, and they felt so awkward that they couldn't even walk. I didn't cross two streets, and the back of my neck was covered with sweat.

At this time, the grass ears said that the voice had arrived, and the two of them quickly stopped, looked up, and saw a towering green tile high-rise building on the side of the road, and a plaque was hung on the lintel of the gate, which read "Drunk Flower Shade" three big characters.

Looking at the name, it looks like that kind of place! Leng Changbei muttered in his heart, looked inside, and sure enough, he saw a number of girls dressed in fancy clothes, flirting with some men who were also passing robes.

The turtle who greeted the guests at the door saw the grass spike and hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Girl, you are here!" As he spoke, he looked at Leng Changbei and Leng Fu behind him.

Cao Sui has already said before, she is just in charge, the man who bought the shop last time, that is, Leng Yi, has no time to manage this green building, and will entrust someone to take care of it, could it be that these two are the people appointed by the owner to take care of the green building?

Sure enough, Cao Sui said: "Go and call your mother, the person sent by our owner to take care of the business has already arrived!" Let her greet her! ”

Gu Gong hurriedly agreed, nodded at Leng Changbei and them, and then beckoned the guys to come over and lead them to the reception hall, and ran upstairs with a cigarette himself.

The Leng family was poor, and before that, life was very difficult, so Leng Changbei and Leng Fu only passed by outside the Qinglou and never entered the Qinglou. Now, standing in the lobby of the Qinglou, the girls who saw the warblers and the birds and the swallows were not giggling and walking by, the fragrance was gusting, and the two of them couldn't help but be at a loss, with red faces and red ears. I didn't dare to look at them with my head down. Leng Fu secretly peeked at those girls.

Cao Sui hurriedly said: "Old lady, let's wait in the flower hall, right?" ”

Leng Changbei hurriedly said yes, and fled into the flower hall. Leng Changbei closed the door of the flower hall with trembling hands, took a few breaths, and said to Cao Sui: "This is ......, this is Qinglou?" ”

"Yes, sir."

"My grandson, how ......, how is he ...... Open this deal? ”

Cao Sui pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Master, our business is very profitable. ”

"But ......, but ......" The old man stammered, wanting to complain, but he felt that it was inappropriate, the current grandson is not the past, and now he is an official of the imperial court, and he also has a gold belt given by the emperor. It's not something that can be said casually.

Cao Sui Bingxue was smart, and immediately guessed the old man's thoughts, and said with a smile: "This Qinglou is a place where literati and ink writers often chant poems, and the eldest master is also a literati, so I want to open such a place and make friends with those people." However, the eldest lord never comes to this place, and if he wants to meet guests, he just eats and drinks in the restaurant, so it's a big deal, let the singer here go over to play the piano and sing and dance to help the fun. The eldest lord asked the old lady and the second master to help, firstly, because he missed you, and secondly, as an official of the imperial court, it was inconvenient for him to personally manage such an industry, so he invited the old lady to come. The old lady is steady and dignified, and if she sees something wrong, she has to take care of it, and it is the most suitable to take care of the business. ”

As soon as he said this, the old lady Leng Changbei suddenly smiled, stroked his white beard and said, "Yes, yes, I have seen a lot of scholars coming in and out of here before. The old man has also studied in a private school for a few years, and he can be regarded as half a literati. Help your grandson take care of this green building, there must be no problem. ”

When Leng Fu heard this, his face was full of laughter, and he said yes repeatedly, and said: "I have also studied private school for a few years, and I am also half literati, and I also help my brother take care of here." ”

Leng Changbei looked at him sideways and said, "You take care of it?" Your idea is on this girl, right? ”

"How can it?" Leng Fu said, "I really want to help." ”

"Come on, I'll get it up front, you kid don't touch these girls' bad ideas! The rabbit still doesn't eat the grass next to the nest, and if you move the girl here, I'll break your leg! ”
