Wei Huai'an asked Chen Sheng to talk to Wu Chun about buying a shop, and after two pillars of incense, Chen Sheng came back.

"Shizi, my subordinates went to make an appointment with Wu Chun, and he scolded him back." Chen Sheng was annoyed.

"What did he say?" Wei Huai'an stared at him with interest.

"He said that his shop is sold to others at a low price, and he will not sell it to you."

"Hehe, it's okay, I'll let him willingly give me the shop."

Wei Huai'an's look of ambition made Su Muling interested.

"What do you do?"

"Want to know?" Wei Huai'an raised his eyebrows.

"Yes."

Wei Huaian waved at her, and Su Muling came closer. Wei Huai'an whispered a few words in her ear...... Su Muling covered her mouth and smiled.

A few days later, a young man came to Tongchun Building, called the little guy who came to see the store and asked, "I heard that your shop is going to be sold?" ”

"Yes. Do you want to buy it? The little guy who stayed behind hurriedly welcomed people in.

"That's what you mean, can you take me up and down?" The person who came was very polite.

"Of course, guest officer, please!"

The little guy took the man upstairs and downstairs to the front hall and backyard to take a look, and finally the man nodded: "It's okay, I intend to buy this restaurant, you can make an appointment with your master for me." ”

The little guy promised and hurriedly asked: "The guest officer's surname, where can I find you?" ”

The man replied to him: "My surname is Su, and the word is cold." Settle down at Tongyue Inn. After speaking, the man looked at it a few more times before leaving.

The little servant hurriedly closed the door and went to Wu's house to spread the word.

Before dinner, Su Han, who was bored at the inn, received an invitation from Wu Chun to meet in the teahouse next to the inn.

Wu Chun's ribs had not yet grown, and he was carried by his subordinates in a soft sedan chair. Su Han arrived one step ahead of him, and the two of them politely went straight to the point.

"I heard that Wu Gongzi's shop is going to be sold, I don't know what the price is?" Su Han took a sip of tea and raised his eyes to ask.

Wu Chun covered his chest and smiled reluctantly: "Master Su, you have also seen that my shop is in the most prosperous street market in Tiangu Town. The renovation in the house has not been completed for a year, and the things inside are all new. At the current market price: 1,200 taels. ”

When Su Han heard this, he pulled the corners of his mouth and put down the teacup in his hand: "Wu Gongzi is really a lion's mouth." One thousand two hundred taels? It's just the price of opening a shop in the capital, is your shop more expensive than the location in the capital? ”

"Su Gongzi doesn't know, my shop was making money every day two months ago, which restaurant in the entire Tiangu Town can compare to me?"

"Then why does Wu Gongzi still sell it?" Su Han poked at his pain point unceremoniously.

"It's not that there was some accident at home, and I couldn't take care of it, so I couldn't bear to transfer it. If Su Gongzi is really interested, then I will let you have some more, one thousand and one hundred taels, and no less. ”

Su Han shook his head and stood up: "It seems that Wu Gongzi doesn't really want to sell the shop, since that's the case, then I'll say goodbye." ”

"Su Gongzi stays." As soon as Wu Chun saw that he was leaving, he hurriedly stopped him. "If Su Gongzi really wants this shop, then you give a price."

Since Wu Chun planned to sell Tongchun Building, there are many people who have come to see the shop these days, and the prices that can be offered are more outrageous than the other. He knew that it was all because his Wu family was defeated, and they all wanted to come up and take advantage of it, so angry that Wu Chun scolded them all one by one.

Now that the New Year is approaching, the Wu family's shops are not only not improving but are still losing money, Wu Chun is a little anxious.

"Wu Gongzi's shop is in a good location, and it should not be worrying about the flow of customers, but this shop is also bad in this position." Su Han stopped talking and glanced at him when he said this.

Sure enough, Wu Chun asked puzzledly: "Where does this start?" ”

Su Han continued: "The location of this shop, on the left is the tea house, on the right is the rice shop, and there is a Baiwei building opposite. I heard that this Baiwei Building is a century-old shop, with good cooking skills, and good business has to queue up. If I want to continue to open a restaurant here and compete with Baiweilou, I don't have much chance of winning. But if I do something else, I'll have to rebuild the house, inside and out, and it will cost me a lot of money. ”

"I inquired before I came, just the location of Tongchun Building, the current market price is up to six hundred taels, and then I need to decorate the silver, I will pay up to five hundred taels."

What the? Wu Chun couldn't hold back the fire and rushed up.

"Looking at Su Gongzi below, he seems to be a serious talker, but he didn't expect that he also wanted to take advantage of people's danger. Even if my shop is rotten here, I won't sell it to a villain like you. ”

Wu Chunqi didn't give any money for tea, and his subordinates helped him to leave angrily.

"If you let it go, you will say that the Wu family's property is implicated by Wu Meiniang, and I am afraid that it will be seized by the imperial court in the future." After listening to Su Han tell him about today's meeting, Wei Huai'an smiled smugly.

"Yes." Su Han retreated.

……

In the liveliest teahouse in town, a few young people are chatting.

"You know what? The Wu family is going to have a business, the Wu family and Zhou Huan are both relatives, the Wu family has gained a lot of ill-gotten wealth by relying on Zhou Huan, and the emperor knows that he wants to investigate the Wu family. ”

A man with a foreign accent said to the young man next to him while knocking on melon seeds.

"Really? Hasn't the eldest lady of the Wu family been arrested? Why isn't it over yet? A man asked.

"It's over, Wu Meiniang was arrested, but the Wu family is still there, and the ill-gotten gains are still there, where will the emperor easily spare them."

"Then in the years when Wu Meiniang married into the Zhou family, the shops opened by the Wu family and the fields and properties bought by the Wu family were all seized?"

"Of course, with the strength of the Wu family, how can they buy so many properties in such a short time, and it is not because of Zhou Huanjun's momentum that he squeezed out other shops, and bribed Huang Da to get it."

"Also, I heard that Tongchun Lou is being sold, is it that the Wu family knows the news and wants to get rid of it in a hurry?"

"It's not even."

……

Shadowless is back.

The horse whipped all the way, and Wuying, who had lost a lot of weight, handed the horse to Su Han and quickly stepped into the main hall.

"Shizi, my subordinates have come back from taking medicine."

After speaking, Wuying took a burden from his body, took out a few exquisite porcelain bottles from it and handed them to Wei Huai'an.

"When the subordinates arrived in Anping Kingdom, as soon as the princess heard that she was taking medicine for Miss Su, she gave these without saying a word. She also said that this medicine is her treasure, and she insists on applying it every day, and it will be restored in less than a month. ”

Wei Huai'an took the medicine, and his face showed joy.

"You've worked hard all the way, so take a good rest at home these days. You don't have to wait every day. ”

After speaking, he happily went upstairs and came to Su Muling's room: "Ling'er, the medicine has been retrieved, and your face can be restored to its original state." ”

Su Muling took a few delicate small porcelain vases, his eyes shining with joy. She sat in front of the dresser, and Wei Huai'an personally applied the medicine to Su Muling's face.

"With this medicine, we can go back to Songjiang to accompany our father for the New Year."

Su Muling couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, she hadn't seen her father for another whole year. The younger brothers and sisters in the family should also be running all over the ground to call their sister, and Aunt Ru's second child has been counted for several months.

Su Muling touched her face, which had become cool and comfortable due to the medicine, and left Wei Huaian to write a letter to Su Haoran immediately, she wanted to tell her father the good news of going home for the New Year.

……

Half a month has passed, and the scar on Su Muling's face has improved significantly, and the previous unevenness is now long gone, leaving only a faint fine mark.

"Miss, Princess Xinnuo's medicine really works. If you use it for a few more days, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it at all. ”

Since having this medicine, Xichun has been actively taking medicine for Su Muling every day than eating, for fear that it will affect the young lady's appearance again.

"Yes, Princess Xinnuo has helped us a lot this time, and it is also a loss to Wuying who has been working day and night to get the medicine back so quickly." Su Muling gently patted Xichun's hand on the shoulder and glanced at her gratefully.

"Miss, don't say that, Wuying should do anything for Miss."

……

Su Muling's master and servant were talking upstairs, and Wei Huai'an walked up downstairs. After pausing at the door, Wei Huaian knocked on the door frame.

"The door is open, what else is knocking." Su Muling turned around with a smile.

Wei Huai'an walked up to her and leaned over to look at her face carefully for a long time, with a smile on his eyebrows: "Well, it's a lot better." You can't see it if you don't look closely. ”

"Just now I was still talking to Xichun that I would like to thank Princess Xinnuo if I have the opportunity."

"There's no hurry. Oh, good news for you. Wu Chun finally relented, the shop is now ours. Guess how much silver we get? Wei Huaian pulled a chair in front of the table and sat down, poured a glass of water, and drank leisurely.

"How much?" Su Muling got up and sat down in front of him and asked curiously.

"Five hundred taels."

"Five hundred taels? How do you do it? Quite a bit of thought, right? Su Muling smiled.

In fact, it didn't take much effort, but he inadvertently let him know that his shop was going to be seized by the imperial court. So Wu Chun found Su Han and sold it to him for five hundred taels. Wei Huai'an was very proud of his plan.

These days, he sent a few subordinates to take turns to fight, changed faces several times, and the price was lower than the first time, which made Wu Chun not lightly. There were rumors everywhere outside that the Wu family's shop was going to be seized, so the people in the town didn't dare to touch their hands.

Wu Chun was afraid that if this rumor turned true, he wouldn't get a tael of silver. So he hurriedly called someone to find Su Han and hurriedly sold Tongchun Lou to him at a low price.

"Hehe, if Wu Chun knew that you were behind the scenes, he would be mad." Su Muling could almost imagine Wu Chun going crazy.

"He'll know.

……

Three days later, the sign of Tongchun Building was changed to Baixiang Building, and a few chefs with good skills were invited to be led by Chef Huang of Baiwei Building.

There was a deafening sound of firecrackers, and Baixiang Building was officially opened.

Baiwei Lou and Baixiang Lou belong to one family, Baixiang Lou opened, and the two shops were all 50% off the drinks and meals within three days. The people who came to hear the news almost blocked the street. For a while, the town was full of talking about Baiwei Lou and Baixiang Lou.

Wu Chun, who had just finished counting the creditors and went home to rest, naturally heard a lot.

"Isn't this shop bought by a guy named Su Han? How did it become the Wei family again? Wu Chun suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Childe, you don't know, that Su Han and that Wei Gongzi are in the same group. When I went to Baiwei Building to watch the excitement today, I saw Su Han and the Wei family's sons standing together, talking and laughing...... "Mao'er quickly learned what he saw and heard from Wu Chun."

"Phew!" A teacup fell to the ground, and Wu Chun's face turned blue with anger. "The surname Wei dares to calculate me."
