After the yamen was ordered in the morning of this day, Xiao Qi pulled Hua Xi'er and walked to Lu Feng.

Said to Lu Feng: "Lu Zhutou, the people have been too enthusiastic recently, I am surrounded by everyone as soon as I go out every day, or you can find some difficult cases and hand them over to me, I won't go out on patrol today." ”

Lu Feng took out two dossiers and handed them to Hua Xi'er, "This is a difficult case that has happened in Pengzhou City in the past half a month, Miss Xi'er, you and Deputy Liu will take a look together." ”

Soon, all the catchers went out to patrol, and Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er were buried in the house to read the files.

At lunchtime, the two went to the pen and ink shop.

As soon as I walked into the shop, the old shopkeeper greeted me.

This old shopkeeper's surname is Qin, and he was introduced by Lu Feng, and it is said that Lu Feng's mother brought him from his mother's house.

Originally, he had been helping the Lu family manage their business, but since the Lu Feng family's property was handed over to his uncle for management, the shopkeeper Qin was dismissed by Lu Feng's aunt.

"The shopkeeper Qin has already packed up, and the plaque has been delivered, and it will be ready to open soon." ”

The two looked at the plaque, and the book Qixi Shop, which was inscribed by Hua Xier, Hua Xier has practiced calligraphy since she was a child, and her writing is not bad, and she is a person who has practiced martial arts, and her pen power is also good.

Xiao Qi: "Why don't we open a store again in the future, let's call it Xiqi, and put your name in front of me, Aunt Xi." ”

Hua Xi'er nodded Xiao Qi's nose and said: "Didn't we already say it when we opened a shop in Phoenix Town, all the shops are called Qixi, and we will open branches to various state capitals of the Great Xia Dynasty in the future." ”

Xiao Qi was a little sad, "I miss the Qixi grain store in Phoenix Town a little, and I don't know how the old shopkeeper there is doing now." ”

When Phoenix Town first started to be chaotic, the two of them gave the old shopkeeper silver and asked the old shopkeeper to hide, not knowing how the old shopkeeper was now.

Hua Xi'er patted Xiao Qi's shoulder, "After the situation stabilizes, we will find someone to go to Phoenix Town to reopen the Qixi Grain Shop." ”

Xiao Qi saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy next to him who was lying on the desk writing couplets, so he walked over, and saw that the young man's handwriting was delicate and very graceful, and exclaimed: "Aunt Xi, look at it, how well this character is written." ”

Hua Xi'er nodded, "Well, that's good, but my handwriting is also quite good." ”

Shopkeeper Qin pointed at the young man and said, "This is Liu Qingzhi who I invited to help temporarily." ”

The young man named Liu Qingzhi hurriedly stood up and saluted the two.

Hua Xi'er asked the young man: "You write this character very well, I don't know who you are taught by?" ”

"Qingzhi used to study in Pengzhou Academy, this character was practiced by the elders of a hundred schools, and it is not good enough, Qingzhi will continue to work hard."

Xiao Qi stood on tiptoe and patted Liu Qingzhi on the shoulder, "The young man has a future." ”

turned to Hua Xi'er again: "Aunt Xi, you see how humble people are." ”

Hua Xi'er smiled: "My handwriting is not good enough, I will continue to work hard." ”

Shopkeeper Qin: "Qingzhi used to study in Pengzhou Academy, and he was excellent in character and learning, but this year because his father was seriously ill and the money was not enough, so he didn't go to the academy again." ”

"He wants to work in our shop to earn some money for medicine, I went to his neighborhood to inquire, and they all said that he is diligent and filial, a good boy, if the two owners think it is not bad, you can sign a contract to keep him as a buddy."

Hua Xi'er: "Then take the deed and sign it." ”

After signing the deed, Liu Qingzhi was very grateful, and said: "Thank you two owners, I will definitely pick up the lamp and write more couplets tonight." ”

Hua Xi'er smiled at Liu Qingzhi: "No need, it's so cold, you can go home when the other shops are closed." ”

Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er hung up the plaque, and checked the shop inside and out, feeling that the shopkeeper Qin had taken good care of it, and it would be no problem to open tomorrow.

Hua Xi'er: "Tomorrow is a good day for the New Year, and the shopkeeper Qin remembers to buy some firecrackers to use when he opens tomorrow." ”

Shopkeeper Qin sent the two of them to the door, "The two owners can rest assured that everything about the opening will be prepared." ”

Hua Xi'er: "Xiao Qi, you remember to let Mu Xiaogongzi and Feng Xiaogongzi have time to sign the contract in the shop." ”

As soon as the two of them walked a few steps, Ah Wang, the little boy of Feng Xiaogongzi, greeted them.

Ah Wang was holding a beautiful basket in his hand, "Tomorrow is Xiao Nian, this is the eight samples of Mingyue Restaurant, which our little master honors his master." ”

The eight major samples of Mingyue Mansion are actually the signature sauce duck and seven kinds of dim sum of Mingyue Restaurant.

Xiao Qi was surprised, "Ah Wang, how do you know I'm here?" ”

Ah Wang: "The young master asks me to inquire about the whereabouts of the Seven Heroines every day, but don't be angry, the Seven Heroines, our young master asked me to inquire because he admires the Seven Heroines too much." ”

Feng Xiaogongzi has been confined by Feng Wanbaoguan, but the confinement is not very strict, but he is controlled in the Feng family and does not let him go out, and the others are still very free.

When the little servant Awang returned home, he immediately reported the situation to Feng Xiaogongzi.

"Young master, I saw your master Seven Heroines today, she said that the shop will open tomorrow, so you can sign the contract when you are free, and the Seven Heroines said to give the young master a share of you, and I heard that the second young master of the prefect's family also invested in a share."

Feng Xiaogongzi was very happy, "It's really good, wait for dinner and tell my father, tomorrow we will go together to celebrate the opening of the shop - Ah Wang, you go now, spend money to invite a lion dance, be sure to be grand." ”

"Yes, young master." Ngawang received the task and immediately ran away.

After dinner, Feng Xiaogongzi beat his father's shoulder very doggedly.

Mrs. Feng was very happy, "Master, you see how filial Yu'er is to you." ”

Feng Wanbao glared at his youngest son, "Say it quickly, what do you want me to do?" ”

Feng Xiaogongzi smiled and said, "Dad, you are so smart - I have something to go out tomorrow." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I'll sign a contract, and my master Seven Heroines will open a pen and ink shop and give me a share."

"There's no such thing as a free lunch, tell me how much you paid?"

Feng Xiaogongzi thought for a while and said, "It seems to be more than a thousand taels of silver." ”

Feng Wanbao nodded Feng Xiaogongzi's forehead vigorously, "You idiot, two or three thousand taels of silver can open a pen and ink shop, you invested more than a thousand taels to give you a share, and you are still like picking up a big bargain." ”

"My master won't cheat me."

"You go and get the more than 1,000 taels back, if you really want to open a pen and ink shop, then Dad will pay for you to open one."

Feng Xiaogongzi's head shook like a rattle, "I don't, I'm going to invest in the shop opened by the master, Dad, you don't have to open a shop for me, I'm not a businessman." ”

Feng Wanbao "You, you, you-"

Mrs. Feng hurriedly supported Feng Wanbao: "Master, don't be angry, what our family has is money, more than a thousand taels, just let Yu'er play with it." ”

"A loving mother has many defeated children, and you are used to him like this."

Feng Xiaogongzi: "The second son of the prefect's family also invested in a hundred shares. ”

Feng Wanbao: "Your sister is the favorite concubine of His Majesty the Emperor, and our family doesn't need to look at the prefect's face to act." ”

……

In the evening, Xiao Qi brought the eight samples of Mingyue Restaurant back to his home.

Niu's worked in Mingyue Building, and he recognized at a glance that this was the eight major examples of Mingyue Restaurant, and immediately blamed loudly: "You kid, you are really a loser, you actually bought such an expensive thing and came back." ”

Liu Dahe tugged at Niu's sleeve, "Chrysanthemum, you be quiet, the prince lives at home." ”

Xiao Qi: "Mother, this is not what I bought, it is a gift from the little son, go back to your mother, you prepare something to go back to his house." ”

Niu Shi listened to his daughter's words and immediately changed to a smile, "It turned out to be sent by Feng Xiaogongzi, Feng Xiaogongzi is really good, not only is he handsome, but he is also very generous." ”
