Hongling glanced at these gambling participants a few more times, they had no passion for winning or losing at all, only mechanical betting, betting money, and felt a little more boring. Hong Ling shook her fan and silently left the gaming table, sat down around and poured herself a cup of tea, sighed and thought, in general, these royal officials and nobles just regarded this place as a leisure place that was indistinguishable from the purple building, and they didn't care much about the cost of entertainment, only regarded this place as a good place for pleasure. It's just that when you actually play it, there's nothing particularly interesting about it, and it's called a 'casino', but it's really just a boring place to socialize.

Although he won a lot with Xiaoqing, it was still boring and tight. It's also speechless to think that this magnificent city can't see any business opportunities.

Turning around again to the door of the Purple Building, thinking that it would be good if there was a restaurant in such a good location to buy, and I didn't know where to get a piece of land, Hong Ling just felt a little discouraged, just thinking, her eyes turned and she looked at a few shops opposite the Purple Building, and suddenly came up with a clever plan in her heart.

Hong Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, then turned around and walked to the front of these stores, which looked like they were just a few small grocery stores, and it shouldn't be very difficult to buy them. Thinking about it, I went around between a few shops, although there were many people coming and going in the store, but there were few people who really spent money, and the shopkeeper Wang, Shopkeeper He and Shopkeeper Liu of several stores inquired for a while, and felt a little bored, so I went back to Zilou to find a comfortable position and yawned and looked at the other side. Hongling looked at it for a long time, thinking that there was nothing else to do anyway, so it was better to try to see if she could take down their stores, so she ordered the Accord and asked Xiaoqing to pass the word to the owners of these stores, saying, "There is a big deal, Zilou Accord will discuss it in detail."

Xiaoqing sat back in her seat and asked suspiciously, "Childe, do you have any deals to discuss with them?" ”

Hongling blinked slyly and said, "Don't you like to count money?" Just talk about buying and selling that you like."

Xiaoqing looked at Hongling even more suspiciously, and asked, "For example?" ”

Hongling really hadn't thought about any money-making business, so she touched the cup awkwardly, suddenly thought of something, slowly hooked the corners of her mouth, and said, "You forgot?" Didn't I tell you to go to Yu's where to learn how to make pastries? ”

Xiaoqing's eyes lit up, she looked at Hongling with excitement, and blurted out: "Really? ”

Hongling hurriedly patted her head, lowered her voice and said, "Shhh, be quiet, don't reveal your identity", Xiaoqing hurriedly sat upright and said in a calm voice: "What the son said is extremely true."

In the evening in the Accord, several shops looked at each other, I don't know what kind of big deal this fan squinted and didn't know what to laugh about, today I watched him go back and forth in a few people's shops for a long time, and I don't know what kind of calculations, a few shops did not dare to slack off, just waited quietly, for fear of offending the God of Wealth in front of him.

Hongling asked Xiaoqing to order a table of wine and food, and then said after careful consideration: "I don't hide that I invited you bosses here today, because I want to merge several stores to do some business, so I want to buy your shop, I don't know what your valuation is?" ”

I saw several vendors looking at each other with different expressions, and the older shopkeeper He said: "Gongzi really doesn't hide it, although my shop is small, it has been passed down for several generations, and now if it is sold, not to mention the price, I am afraid that future generations will have no support."

Hearing this, the other shopkeepers nodded and whispered, Hong Ling frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "Then if I use the form of hire and purchase, that is, for a period of 100 years, your loved ones can work in my shop, and I will pay another salary, and when the deadline is up, you can choose to renew the contract or get the title deed back, in this case, are you willing to accept it?" ”

As soon as Hongling spoke, several shopkeepers were shocked, rent and purchase? I had never heard such a strange statement, and several people discussed it in a whisper, and felt that this method was very feasible, so the shopkeeper He came forward and said: "I am very satisfied with the son's proposal, but I still need to go back and discuss it with my family."

Hongling bowed her head slightly, and said slowly: "That's how it should be, today I invite you to eat here, no matter whether this business is discussed in the end or not, the right is to make friends with all the shopkeepers", then raised the teacup, and said: "Respect everyone."

Several shopkeepers raised their glasses, the atmosphere relaxed slightly, and the shopkeeper Wang of the tailor's shop asked: "Childe, I still don't know how to call you?" ”

Hong Ling laughed heartily a few times, and said: "A few shopkeepers just call me Hong Gongzi, this one next to me is Qing Gongzi, if it becomes a deal in the future, Qing Gongzi will have many opportunities to deal with you", Xiao Qing blinked, showing a kind smile to respond to Hong Ling.

The shopkeeper Liu on the other side took over the conversation: "Then I will salute the cup of the red boy and the green boy."

Hongling drank it all and said: "Now that everyone knows each other, they will eat and drink with an open stomach, all of which are counted in my account, and there are important things to do, so I will not accompany you, and a few of you can discuss my proposal today, and I will negotiate with you in a few days." ”

The elder shopkeeper surnamed He said: "So I thank everyone here for the kindness of Hong Gongzi", Hong Ling nodded slightly, then opened the folding fan, got up and walked out of the Accord.

Hongling walked in front with a fan leisurely, and Xiaoqing followed behind her, still immersed in the excitement of 'talking about business'.

"Childe, do you think they will agree?"

"When the time comes, you can ask."

"Me? Am I coming? ”

Seeing Xiaoqing jumping up happily, Hongling smiled heartily and said, "What? If you don't want to come, I'll call Xiuxiu to go."

"Childe is not, I want to go the most"

......

All the way back to the palace, the sky was already dark, just entered the courtyard door, Xiuxiu greeted him, and said: "Princess Niangniang, the prince sent someone to look for you twice today, and asked Niangniang to come back to the study to find him."

Xiaoqing and Hongling glanced at each other, Xiaoqing pursed her lips and asked Xiuxiu worriedly: "But the prince wants to trouble the young lady again?" ”

Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, when the prince comes at noon today, it doesn't look like there is something big, maybe the worried mother can't eat it."

Xiaoqing bit her lip and said, "But, didn't you say... The prince also sent someone to come twice......", and looked at Hongling with worry as he spoke.

Xiuxiu didn't know how to comfort Xiaoqing for a while, so she stepped forward and patted her, saying, "The prince has already allowed the mother to leave the house, hasn't he?" I believe that the prince is just in a hurry, and he will never trouble his mother for this."

Hong Ling played with the folding fan in her hand, thought for a while, and said for a moment: "I'll go and change my clothes first, and you send someone to say something, and I'll go later."
