Chapter 38: Renting a House
Before going to bed at night, Jiang Qiuman was helping Shen Yu rub his shoulders, and Shen Yu suddenly took out a hosta from his arms and handed it to her.
This hosta is very beautiful, carved with a hovering phoenix, the phoenix tail is upturned, flamboyant and gorgeous. But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the color of this hosta is excellent, the whole body exudes soft fluorescence, and the color is extremely brittle and tender, which is made of the piece of jade that Jiang Qiuman has seen before.
Jiang Qiuman hesitated: "Is this for me?" โ
Shen Yu stood up and personally inserted the hosta into Jiang Qiuman's hair: "Naturally, it's for you." I just carved it casually, and it was not well engraved and there were flaws, so it was better to give it to you. โ
It turned out to be flawed. Jiang Qiuman suddenly realized.
It's just that she looks at this hairpin is excellent, whether it is the carving or the color is impeccable, she can't see where the flaws are.
But when he gave him a gift, she was happy to accept it, even if it was a flawed hosta, it would definitely be able to exchange for a lot of money in the future. Thinking of this, Jiang Qiuman smiled sweetly and nodded obediently: "Then I'll accept it." โ
She laughed very smartly, and only when she laughed there was a hint of girlish innocence. Shen Yu's heart softened and said, "I like hostas very much? โ
Jiang Qiuman nodded, but then shook his head: "I like it, but I don't like hostas." Just like the precious stuff. โ
Shen Yu squinted thoughtfully, but his head was quickly thinking about what valuable things he had at home, and he would give them to her another day to make her happy.
That night, Shen Yuyin Xian felt Jiang Qiuman's well-behavedness, not only made him his favorite osmanthus blossom, but also boiled walnut soup to warm his stomach. Shen Yu looked at Jiang Qiuman with a smile and was busy, as if he had a vague preference for a white girl.
Shen Yu secretly wrote it down in his heart, and planned to make persistent efforts in the future, striving to see Jiang Qiuman so happy a few more times.

Half a month later is Chinese New Year's Eve, Jiang Qiuman took advantage of the year ago to quickly find a decoration master, and quickly decorate the shop on Shijing Street. And while she was decorating, she was also looking for a house nearby.
Since the last time she saw a drunken dancer on the side of the road, she wanted to open a small inn, an inn that only accepts female guests. Give the women who are left behind a place to stay.
At the beginning, she didn't want to make much money, but at least she was able to gain a foothold in Shanghai on her own, which was the first step.
Coincidentally, near the jade shop, there is really a half-old house. The house is four and a half stories high, and there are no less than five rooms on each floor, so it is most suitable to be renovated into an inn.
The homeowner is preparing to move his family to Hong Kong a year ago, so the house is also in a hurry to get rid of it.
It's just that the landlord wants to sell the house directly to her, but Jiang Qiuman doesn't have so much money, so he settles for the next best, so he agrees with the landlord to pay three years' rent first, and he will definitely buy the house after three years. The owner hesitated for a few days, Xu was too anxious, and finally agreed to her.
This shop used to sell jade was given to Jiang Qiuman by the Jiang family, but Jiang Qiuman turned around and applied for funds with Shen Yu, saying that he had taken a fancy to a shop and asked for a thousand oceans. Shen Yu gave the money happily, and gave Jiang Qiuman two thousand oceans on the spot, and let her keep the rest just in case.
So Jiang Qiuman can afford to pay the rent for three years at a time, and even renovate the entire house.
Jiang Qiuman, who had finally taken the first step, was very happy, and now he was walking all the way towards Xiaowang Lane, wanting to go to Chen Ji at the mouth of the alley to buy a roast goose and take it home for Shen Yu to eat.
It's just that at this moment, a prominent figure is hiding in the shadows, watching from a distance behind her.
Zhang Zhifu was wearing a black coat with a cold face: "She is the woman in the photo?" โ
The two doglegs next to him nodded towards Zhang Zhifu: "Yes, yes, yes, it's her!" A few days ago, she and Young Master Shen were shopping on the street, and we took the opportunity to take a lot of photos! โ
As he spoke, he handed a few photos in his hand to Zhang Zhifu.
