Chapter 60: Renting a House to Open a Translation Hall
The next day, Yi Jiaren arrived at Zhongxiufang and saw that the door of the pharmacy next door was closed, and a man with a two- or three-year-old baby knelt in front of the door crying, both of them were wearing sackcloth and tied filial piety scarves on their heads.
Listening to the discussion of onlookers, he learned that the man inquired about his wife who was abducted by the dead pharmacy shopkeeper, and he was unwilling to be humiliated and bit his tongue to commit suicide, so he came here to find the shopkeeper to make trouble.
Wretched! Yi Jiaren sighed and went in.
In the afternoon, a few more people came to make trouble, crying at the door, and even stopped the coffin and put it at the door, and set up a mourning hall in the store.
There was a disturbance next door, and no one even entered the door of Zhong Xiufang, so Yi Jiaren excused himself to go to other shops and sent the stickers to Cheng Shanchang's house on East Street.
I didn't see anyone, so I just waited for an appointment with Cheng Shanchang.
There was no reply for a few days, and she didn't have much hope, but she received a reply from Cheng Shanchang on the fourth day.
About the afternoon of the first day of the new year, we will meet at Nanshan Academy.
Isn't that tomorrow?
This made Yi Jiaren very happy, she quickly lost the work in her hand and took out the "Dictionary of All Nations" to look through.
You have to be prepared.
If this thing is going to be done, maybe you can get a lot of silver, and if you have the capital, you can start from what you are good at, first open a translation studio, buy the shop when you make money, and then buy more shops, some of them will be rented out, and some of them will be operated by yourself, and you will be able to live like a rich shopkeeper in the future, and only use each shop to collect accounts every day.
The most important thing is to find a gentle and affectionate husband, and the two of them are greasy and crooked together every day.
It's beautiful to think about!
As for Xiao Yuwen, how far and how far to roll.
Before, he was thinking about giving him a bundle ceremony, but now that he has changed his attention, he has the money to invite Lin Fengyin to listen to the music, and he will find a way to go by himself.
She was daydreaming seriously in the small room, and suddenly heard the shopkeeper Wang shouting outside: "Miss Yi, come out and see the excitement, there is an accident in the pharmacy next door." ”
"What a lot of fun, I don't have the time to see it." With that, the man had already run to the door.
I saw the shopkeeper next door with two children, carrying a big burden, and pulling with the landlord Mrs. Fan.
In the past few days, some people have been going to the pharmacy to make trouble, taking advantage of the fire to rob the precious medicinal materials in the store, and smashing the store to pieces. The business couldn't go on, and the shopkeeper quit the rent and wanted to go back to her hometown, but Mrs. Fan didn't let people go, pulled them to scold and scold, and asked them to pay for their shop.
"Those things that your man did, you can't let me get into the pit, you have asked people to send the coffin to the store, how will I rent out this store in the future, my family will live on this money." Mrs. Fan grabbed the clothes of the shopkeeper and didn't let go.
The poor shopkeeper dragged the two children and almost knelt down for her, "Granny Fan, you just raise your noble hand and let me go, I have calculated the house money for you, and I also paid you twenty taels for smashing the store, I really have no money on me, go home, our mother and wife have to walk back, woo..."
Mrs. Fan didn't care that she cried pitifully, "My store is smashed like this, you will pay twenty taels, how will my wife live in the future." After a pause, she looked up and down at the shopkeeper's daughter with triangular eyes, "Why don't you leave your girl to pay off the debt." ”
Saying that, Mrs. Fan reached out to pull the girl.
The shopkeeper was busy protecting the child, and knelt down for Mrs. Fan, her scattered hair was stained on her tear-wet face, and her crying became more and more miserable, "Granny Fan, this must not be done, it is all my dead ghost man's sin, but I can't let my poor child pay for it." You're going to let me go today, and I'll send it to you when I have more money in the future. ”
"Hmph. You're leaving, and you'll be back later, so you'll either give me another three months of room money today, or you'll leave someone behind. Mrs. Fan's black face became even darker.
A few passers-by saw the orphans and widows being bullied, said a few fair words, and were scolded back by Mrs. Fan, and no one gossiped anymore.
Yi Jiaren touched the freshly issued five taels in her purse, and pulled off the golden hairpin given by the eagle-faced man on her head.
"Mrs. Fan, I rented this house, you let them go."
Mrs. Fan was stunned for a moment, and when she turned around and saw that it was Yi Jiaren, she was a little angry, and the two figure-of-eight lines on her face moved: "Miss Yi, do you really want to rent my house?" ”
Mrs. Fan has also heard of Yi Jiaren's affairs, before she ran in the restaurant of the Guo family, and later seduced the eldest young master of the Taiwei Mansion, and had an affair with the eldest young master of the Taiwei Mansion, and was lucky to marry the Taiwei Mansion, but she was not treated by her mother-in-law, and she has no money in her hands.
Yi Jiaren must know that this is how it is rumored in the market, and it is estimated that Xiao Yuwen will have to be whipped again.
"Yes, I want to rent it." Yi Jiaren said, picked up the shopkeeper who was kneeling on the ground, and gave her all the five taels that had just been issued, "Take these taels of silver to make a coil, and take the two children back." ”
The shopkeeper shirked and pulled the two children to leave with a thousand thanks to Yi Jiaren.
Seeing them go away, Yi Jiaren thought about it, if the shopkeeper of the pharmacy was really killed by the eagle-faced man, then she could compensate them for the eagle-faced man.
However, the pharmacy shopkeeper is innocent.
When Mrs. Fan saw that Yi Jiaren let them go, she was a little unconvinced, "Miss Yi, if you want to rent my house, their previous losses will be counted in the house price." ”
Yi Jiaren sneered, "Okay, but I have to look at the house first." As he spoke, he walked back into the shop.
Shopkeeper Wang watched it for a long time, and hurriedly grabbed her: "Miss Yi, her shop is unlucky, you should rent it?" ”
"It's okay, I'm hard, no matter what demons and monsters it can't help me."
Mrs. Fan came up and glanced at the shopkeeper Wang: "Shopkeeper Wang, I don't like to hear what you say, how unlucky is my shop, it's all the dead ghost who does it himself, who to blame." ”
was robbed by Mrs. Fan, and the shopkeeper Wang didn't talk to her much and went back.
This shop is about 30 square meters, up and down two floors, before the pharmacy shopkeeper lived upstairs, although it was a little narrower, but the house was quite square, the ventilation orientation was good, and the inside was also bright, Yi Jiaren was satisfied.
However, she regretted it when she came out, it was just a hot-headed temporary idea just now, and she was afraid that she would not agree to say that she would not hire Mrs. Fan now.
I really don't know what I'm renting this shop for? It's not the time to open a translation hall. Alas!
Mrs. Fan saw that she looked at the house, and made a straight offer, "My shop rents thirty taels a month, and I pay it every three months, counting the things that were smashed in the store before, you can give me one hundred taels first." ”
Yi Jiaren, the shop on this street, has inquired before, and at about this price, Mrs. Fan did not open high.
Mrs. Fan didn't dare to open high, Yi Jiaren didn't want to rent it, no one really wanted this shop, as early as a few days ago, when she saw that the shopkeeper had an accident, she wanted to drive the shopkeeper's family away and rent it to others, but she quietly inquired, and no one wanted her to do this.
Yi Jiaren held the golden hairpin in her hand, a little reluctant, she was really penniless if she gave it to her, and looked at the messed things in the house, she came up with an idea, "Your price is higher, I don't care about it, but you clean up this house tonight, and I will move upstairs to live tomorrow." ”
Mrs. Fan reluctantly said for a long time: "My wife doesn't have the strength to clean up the house for you overnight, or I will charge you a few taels of silver, and you can find someone to clean it up yourself." ”
"Okay." Yi Jiaren hurriedly agreed.
took the golden hairpin and passed the price, it was worth just one hundred taels, as if it had been weighed with a pole. After signing the contract, Mrs. Fan gave her five taels of silver and left, taking the golden hairpin.
said that he liked things that couldn't be sold, so he gave them to others so easily.
