Chapter Seventy-One: The Dust Has Settled
Mo Yu couldn't stay idle in Peach Blossom Spring, thinking that the matter of opening an inn would be implemented at an accelerated pace, so after only a few days of the two-person world with Situ Yue, he shouted that he wanted to go outside, essentially preparing to find a suitable place to open an inn.
Situ Yue knew Mo Yu's careful thoughts, so he dressed up with her and let Leng drive the carriage to the street.
The carriage stopped three streets behind the aphrodisiac shop, and the traffic on this street was not very large, probably because the place was a little out of the way.
Situ Yue in the carriage came down first, his face disguised as that of an ordinary-looking young man, dressed in ice-blue fine silk, with snow-white piping embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns and the mutton fat jade hairpin on his head.
No matter how Situ Yue disguises, people can't leave their eyes, because temperament and light can't be hidden.
Mo Yu also disguised herself differently from her previous ones, her face did not look so ordinary, but with a bit of freshness and delicateness.
A light blue dress with a little embroidered roses, covered with rose red tulle, and a pure-colored belt tied around the waist, and a rose-red purse embroidered with mandarin ducks on the belt. It looks like the already graceful figure, which looks even more charming.
Sanqian Qingsi simply pulled a bun and inserted a white hosta in the shape of plum blossoms. On the index finger of his right hand is a persimmon red agate ring that Situ Yue bought at Jumbo Fang.
One is wearing ice blue, the other is wearing light blue, two people dressed like this stand together, and the affection between their beautiful eyes is revealed, they are really a pair of beautiful people.
Mo Yu disguised himself twice before, once to make a disturbance with the miracle doctor, and once to make a big fuss about Yongfa Gambling House, thinking: There should be nothing wrong this time, there are no extraneous branches.
Situ Yue took Mo Yu's white and smooth hand and walked around the street, afraid of the heat so much that Mo Yu intimately fanned her.
Leng Ze followed behind, although there was still no expression on his face, but in his heart he was a little worried about Situ Yue's intimacy with Mo Yu, because Bing was scolded by the cane before, he asked Bing the reason, and Bing just replied to him with a red face.
In just four words, cold is related to ink rain. This woman has been influencing his master's thoughts and behaviors all the time, which is really not good. If one day she has the intention to use Situ Yue, I am afraid that Situ Yue will be willing to give up his life for her.
Perhaps because there are not many people and business is not good, there are many shops that put up paper for sale or transfer. However, Mo Yu is quite excited, the more it sells, the better her chance of finding the right store.
Mo Yu looked carefully, there were those who sold cloth, fruits, rice, jewelry, and snacks......
However, Mo Yu felt that it was better to find an inn, she and Situ Yue walked most of the street, although Situ Yue fanned her along the way, but this is summer, how can it not be hot to walk outside like this, Mo Yu's back has long been sweating, but for her, the matter of making money has reached the point of urgency, and she is now eager to get her three heads and six arms, and get involved in every money-making industry.
To put it bluntly, she cared too much about Situ Yue, so she had to start from scratch and create a good value for herself. If it is not valuable enough, how can he have the capital to stand by his side and face those unknown storms.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Mo Yu is a little thirsty, and the emperor finally sees an inn.
This inn is called Rifle Inn, it has three floors, and from the wooden signboard, it looks like it has been some years old. There is a piece of paper for sale on the outside, which looks a little old, and it must have been pasted for a few days.
Mo Yu and Situ Yue looked at each other with a smile, and the two walked into the inn hand in hand.
An old man in his fifties greeted him, not tall, looking very thin, as if a strong wind or something could blow people up. He was dressed in gray clothes, which looked a little old, and there were still some traces of repair on a pair of cloth shoes.
The old man, with a pair of shrewd but vicissitudes of life, looked at Situ Yue and Mo Yu kindly, and felt that the two should be the sons and daughters of a rich family. He asked respectfully: "This son and lady, I don't know why you come to the shop?" ”
Situ Yue said gently: "I saw your inn for sale just now, and I want to talk to you." “
Mo Yu looked at the inn, it was cleaned cleanly, and it looked quite big, but it also echoed her request, that is, it was a little old, but she bought it to be redecorated, and it didn't matter if it was old or new.
When the old man heard that he was coming to buy an inn, he hurriedly invited Situ Yue to sit down and poured a pot of good tea for him.
Mo Yu picked up the ceramic teacup and tasted it, it was a fragrant, mellow and refreshing Longjing tea.
Although she is thirsty now, she can't wait to take a big sip of the teacup, but she still has to be delicate in front of outsiders, so she continues to drink tea elegantly with the teacup.
Situ Yue sat quietly on the side and sipped tea, acting as a foil.
Seeing this, Mo Yu smiled and asked about the price of the old man's inn and the reason for the sale.
From the old man's mouth, I learned that the old man's inn surnamed Ye had been open for five years, but the year before last, his son died of illness, and his wife couldn't stand the stimulation and couldn't afford to be seriously ill. He used to live a fairly rich life, but he spent a lot of money on his wife's medical treatment these days, and the business in the store is getting worse and worse.
Two months ago, his wife died, and he had no intention of making money by guarding the inn alone, so he dismissed the workers in the inn and stayed here alone to prepare to sell the store and take a few dollars back to his hometown for the elderly.
I originally wanted to open an inn to make a few more money and return to my hometown when I was old, so I could enjoy the joy of family, but now I am alone, and there is no point in asking for more money.
When Mo Yu heard this, he also sighed in his heart for the old man's misfortune. The white-haired person sent the black-haired person, and he didn't even have a wife to talk to, which was really frustrating under such a blow. It is not easy for the old man to be strong and live.
The old man of the inn just wanted to sell it quickly, and the price was not high, only one hundred taels of silver, which is five thousand yuan in modern times.
Mo Yu thought to himself, this inn is a big place, although the location is a little bit more remote than the main street, but the price is cheap, why hasn't it been sold for two months?
But if you think about it carefully, doing business is not all about auspiciousness, the owner of this Laifu Inn, first lost his son and then his wife, and he thought that others felt unlucky, so he didn't want to take over.
This boss is also an honest man, and when others sell their business, they will say a bunch of nice things to fool the buyer, but he is good at telling the truth. But this is also where he is shrewd, after all, people who really want to buy will always compare it with other inns, and will also inquire about the situation around.
It's been open for five years, and the people around him naturally know him. Only Mo Yu and the others asked someone casually, and the situation couldn't be hidden. It's a good thing to be honest like this.
Ink rain comes from the 21st century, and it doesn't care about these so-called bad luck. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the natural laws of life, and no one can escape them. Whether the business of opening a store is good or not, you still have to rely on your own efforts.
Situ Yue asked Mo Yu's opinion, and Mo Yu felt that the place was the right size and could help the old man, so he agreed.
On the contrary, the old man was very excited, and said thank you a few times in a row.
Mo Yu took out a silver ticket of 1,000 taels from his purse, the old man was embarrassed to say that there was no silver tael to look for, and Situ Yue asked Leng at the door to find change.
The old man wrote the note for sale in black and white, and after Mo Yu took it, he felt that it was no different, and handed the silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver to the old man.
The old man took the silver ticket, seemed to be relieved, and said respectfully: "Son, madam, the old man still has some baggage to pack, can I move out tomorrow morning?" ”
Mo Yu smiled and replied respectfully: "The old man's burden is not in a hurry to pack up, we can't find a suitable person to take care of it for a while, if it is convenient for you to live for a few days, let us find someone." ”
"Since Madame said so, then the old man will be cheeky and live for a day or two, and when the lady finds someone to come to the store, the old man will leave."
"That's so good, then thank you to the old man."
"Madame is gracious."
Mo Yu and Situ Yue walked out of the Rifle Inn, the two got into the carriage, Mo Yu finally found a place to open the inn, and the mood was very happy.
Now she thinks she has time to draw the design of the inn and find someone to redecorate. But now the main thing is to recruit people to do the work. Otherwise, how can such a big inn operate.
Situ Yue on the side looked at the thoughtful Mo Yu, and secretly smiled on the side.
When people were looking for an inn, they were deliberately looking for a deviation, so that there were few people and it was difficult to develop.
Situ Yue's main thought is that he doesn't want Mo Yu to worry about making money, he thinks that let her toss here at will, if there is not much income, maybe she will obediently be a little lady who spends money by his side, and he doesn't have to bother to make money. This will also have more time to spend with him.
It's just that such a small abacus did not go as expected, and soon this unprosperous street was completely changed because of the appearance of ink rain.
"What is the lady thinking?" Situ Yue came over and gave Mo Yu a fan diligently.
Mo Yu casually picked up the watermelon pieces placed in the carriage and fed a piece to Situ Yue.
"What else can I think about, of course, I'm thinking about how to decorate the inn and find someone to run it." Mo Yu is a little helpless, in modern recruitment, as long as the conditions and requirements are written, casually posted on the Internet, someone will apply.
In ancient times, looking for a job was a manpower eleven ways, so that several people could be recruited in a day. What's more, the people who come for the interview can't always meet everyone, and they have to be selected. Anyway, from today onwards, she will be busy.
Situ Yue felt that this matter was very simple, not just finding someone to work, how simple it was. Of course, with Situ Yue's strength, if he is ordered to do so, there will be a group of people to solve it for him, and it is not worth bothering about it at all.
But for Mo Yu, this is her career, so she naturally has to pay attention to it.
"This lady doesn't have to worry, I have everything with me." Situ Yue looked like he was looking for something to solve with me, and Mo Yu was in a better mood when he saw it.
It's just that Mo Yu thinks it's okay to borrow strength, but it's not necessary to rely on it completely.
Women always have to have the ability to survive independently in order to live more dignified in front of men.
After all, before falling in love, the two were just insignificant strangers, although they loved each other, they had responsibilities and obligations to each other.
But the weather is cloudy and sunny, people are always fickle, even if they are not fickle, who can guarantee that they can remain the same in the test of time?
Mo Yu smiled at his boss Tu Yue, reached out and pinched his face, and said with a smile: "I have been looking for your help a lot, and I won't be polite to you if I need to." “
Situ Yue smiled and was about to say something, but suddenly heard an exclamation from outside, the driving carriage suddenly stopped, Mo Yu leaned out because of inertia, and Situ Yue hugged her steadily.
