"Actually, I wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but I was afraid of causing your displeasure, so I never mentioned it."

Qin Xiang saw that Han Yunxiao was still staring at the table, as if he was going to see a hole in the table, and couldn't help but speak.

"Because my mother wants to live with my younger brother, so I also have to leave some silver to support her, I don't care if I have an ancestral house, anyway, I won't farm and only hunt."

Han Yunxiao said absentmindedly, and after finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Qin Xiang and continued: "You don't have to worry, I will solve this matter, you just have to pick a shop." ”

Qin Xiang saw that he looked confident, so he nodded and began to open the pattern.

The two studied it, and finally decided to take a look, buying a shop is a big deal, and it is not hasty.

"Then you can go to the county tomorrow to have a look, and I'll go back to the village."

Han Yunxiao nodded, but he didn't object, he got up and rubbed his shoulders and walked towards the bed.

"Lady, rest early."

Han Yunxiao took a few steps and found that Qin Xiang hadn't followed, so he stopped and said.

Qin Xiang had no choice but to put down the patterns in her hand and walked to the bedside, she was actually still thinking about those patterns in her mind.

It wasn't until she was hugged by Han Yunxiao that she came to her senses, but she didn't have time to say anything, and her feet were already off the ground.

"Han Yunxiao, don't we still have something to do tomorrow?"

Qin Xiang struggled a few times, half-pushing and half-pushing.

"Where are we not busy?"

Han Yunxiao kissed Qin Xiang's ear and lips, and his voice revealed a little hoarseness.

Qin Xiang only felt that his face was hot, and his whole person was a little dizzy.

When she woke up the next morning, she found that her surroundings were already empty, and she didn't need to think about it to know that Han Yunxiao must have gotten up early to go to the village.

She got up and washed up briefly, then hired a carriage and hurried to the neighboring county with the pattern and the silver.

The neighboring county was next to a canal, and the water trade was much more developed than the county where they lived, so the people of this county were also richer than their county.

Qin Xiang has long wanted to open a shop in this county, but he has not raised enough money, and now that he has finally raised enough money, he naturally wants to come and see it in person.

She followed the shop Han Yunxiao was looking for, checked from house to house, and finally stopped in front of a small store facing the street.

The price of the shop in this county is more expensive than that in their county, so the same price is two hundred taels, and you can only buy a shop half the size of a chicken in this county.

Qin Xiang walked around outside, then walked into the shop with his feet raised, this shop is now doing a fabric business, and the business is very poor.

When Qin Xiang walked in the door, he saw a young man in his teens, dozing off on the counter.

The whole shop was lifeless, and when you looked at it, you knew that it was about to go out of business.

Qin Xiang walked up to the young man, raised his hand and knocked on the counter, only then did he suddenly wake up and look at Qin Xiang with his dark eyes.

"See what you want to buy, the shopkeeper doesn't plan to do it, and now these materials are only sold at cost price."

After the young man saw Qin Xiang, he thought she was here for the fabric, so he yawned and said.

After finishing speaking, he planned to continue sleeping, but was stopped by Qin Xiang.

"Don't sleep, I came to see when I heard that your shop was going to sell, not to buy fabrics."

Qin Xiang knocked on the counter again and said lightly.

The young man was a lot more energetic at this time, and said to Qin Xiang: "Wait, I'll call the shopkeeper out!" ”

Qin Xiang nodded, then walked to the stool next to him and sat down, just waiting for the shopkeeper to come out.

But she waited for three quarters of an hour, and the shopkeeper did not come out.

Qin Xiang couldn't help but be a little puzzled, he didn't know what was going on for a while, looking at the young man's reaction, the shopkeeper was clearly in the shop, so would it take so long to call him over?

It's just that she didn't say anything, and waited patiently for another quarter of an hour before she saw the shopkeeper walking slowly downstairs.

This person has a big belly, is in his forties, and his small eyes are squinting like two mung bean grains, staring at Qin Xiang in a daze.

The moment Qin Xiang saw this person, she felt uncomfortable all over, and she couldn't help but want to give up buying this shop.

"What do you call it? Below Kai. ”

The middle-aged man walked up to Qin Xiang and first took a deep breath, as if he was smelling Qin Xiang's body, and then spoke.

Qin Xiang subconsciously took a few steps back, and only after retreating to the door did he say lightly: "I heard that you want to buy this shop, what price do you plan to pay?" ”

If it weren't for the fact that the location of this shop was very good, she really didn't bother to continue to share a room with these two guys.

"Don't be in a hurry, let's discuss slowly, the price of this shop depends on your attitude."

Fang Kai smiled sheepishly, walked up to Qin Xiang, stretched out his greasy fat hand, and touched Qin Xiang's face.

Qin Xiang quickly dodged, then raised his hand and slapped Fang Kai's fat face fiercely.

Syllable......

With a crisp sound, Qin Xiang turned around and stepped over the threshold, and left quickly.

"It's disgusting!"

She almost ran for her life, ran a long way before she stopped, and kept wiping her hands with a handkerchief.

After wiping it for more than a dozen times, he finally stopped, walked to the side of the roadside tea stall and sat down.

After asking the guy for a cup of tea and pouring it down, Qin Xiang finally suppressed the nausea that emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Thinking that the shop would not be bought, she put the matter aside and planned to rest for a while before moving on to the next place.

"Mrs. Han, what a coincidence."

Then I heard a clear voice coming from beside me.

Qin Xiang turned his head and saw Fang Tongzheng standing beside him, Qin Xiang hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes, I plan to open a shop in this county, so I will come over to find out if there is a suitable shop." ”

"Did you find it?"

Fang Tongzheng nodded, he had also bought fried chicken, it tasted really good, and he also looked forward to opening such a shop in their county, so that it would be more convenient to buy fried chicken.

"Don't mention it, you're going to the academy, I won't delay you, I have to go to other places to see."

Qin Xiang shook her head, she naturally didn't want to talk about such an embarrassing experience just now, she didn't want to talk about it with someone she didn't know well.

"Why can't you mention it? If you're looking for a shop, I'll be able to help. ”

Fang Tongzheng saw the displeasure on Qin Xiang's face, and expected that she must have encountered some trouble, so he said with a smile.

"I saw a good shop before, but I didn't negotiate it, so I plan to go to the next good shop to have a look, and I don't need your help."

Qin Xiang shook her head, she was really in no mood to chat with this son-in-law now.

"Then I won't bother you, but if you have any difficulties, just go to the Fang Mansion to find someone to help, you have helped our Fang family so much, and we still owe people a favor."

Fang Tongzheng nodded, and seeing that Qin Xiang was really reluctant to say, he didn't continue to ask.

"That's nature."

Qin Xiang nodded, a little smile in her eyes, the appearance of this person could dilute the disgusting feeling in her heart.

Fang Tongzheng nodded and got into the carriage and continued to walk forward, Qin Xiang saw this, paid the silver, and walked towards the location of the next shop.

After Fang Tongzheng got into the carriage, he asked the guy to find out what happened to Qin Xiang just now.

The scholar beside him nodded and got out of the carriage, while Fang Tongzheng continued to ride the carriage towards the academy.

Qin Xiang didn't know about these things, she rushed to the location of the next shop, and found that the shopkeeper of this shop asked for a very high price, if he didn't have three hundred taels of silver, it would be absolutely impossible to buy this shop.

She was quite helpless, but she also knew that she couldn't force it, so she had to go to the next place to continue inquiring.

When it was approaching dusk, Qin Xiang rubbed his legs a little tiredly, feeling that this trip was not worth it, and he really didn't get anything at the end of the day.

She was about to rest for a while, and when she hired a carriage to go home, she saw Fang Tongzheng's carriage suddenly stop in front of her.

Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows, watching Fang Tongzheng walk down from the carriage, she had some doubts in her heart, she didn't think that the two of them met by chance.

"Young Master Fang, what's the matter?"

Qin Xiang couldn't help but feel a little strange when he stood up, and hurriedly asked.

Fang Tongzheng didn't start, but bowed down and saluted Qin Xiang, Qin Xiang hurriedly avoided it, and looked at Fang Tongzheng inexplicably.

"Mrs. Han, the people in the house have offended you a lot before, please forgive me, this shop is a gift from our Fang family, please accept it."

As Fang Tongzheng spoke, he took a copy of the title deed from the scholar's hand and handed it to Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang took the title deed and looked at the address on it with a busy face, and finally understood what was going on.

"Fang Kai is the steward of your family?"

Qin Xiang smiled bitterly, she didn't expect that these two people were surnamed Fang.

"Exactly, that man is really filthy, I have ordered someone to send him to the official."

When Fang Tongzheng mentioned Fang Kai, a trace of disgust and shame flashed in his eyes, he took a deep breath before gritting his teeth and saying.

"Fang Gongzi doesn't have to mind it so much, this person has a total score of three, six, nine and so on, since there are people of noble character in this world, there are naturally despicable people, it's not your fault."

Qin Xiang shook her head, but she wasn't angry, she handed the title deed to Fang Tongzheng and continued: "The location of this shop is so good, it is too expensive, I can't accept it, if you agree, why don't you sell it to me?" I bought the shop at the market price. ”

Qin Xiang did fall in love with this shop, but she was not the kind of person who liked to take advantage of small advantages, so she still insisted on paying.

Fang Tongzheng thought for a moment and insisted: "If Mrs. Han insists on giving silver, then how about this shop sell you fifty taels?" When the Fang family bought this shop, it cost fifty taels of silver, and this shop has also created a lot of income for the Fang family over the years, so the Fang family is not a loss of money. ”

"That's okay, I'll give you a membership card for gnawing chicken, and in the future, you can take this card to my shop to eat, and you can get a big 20% discount, which is valid forever."

Qin Xiang still felt that he had picked up a big bargain, so he took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Fang Tongzheng.

Fang Tongzheng raised his eyebrows, took the card and looked at it curiously, he knew that there was such a preferential system for gnawing chickens, and many shops had followed suit, but he never thought that Qin Xiang would give him one.

He hurriedly thanked him and said with a smile: "Then I will personally go to the county office, we will change the name of the shop today, and you can open it earlier." ”
