Chapter 46: Grabbing the bag
Lin Meili has been in the Xinguo Dynasty for so long, this is the first time that she has enjoyed the treatment of calling slaves and maids, not to mention that this feels really good, and even washing her face has been contracted. After dressing up well under Ziyu's skillful hands, the whole person became more and more delicate and moving. "Ziyu, thank you, the craftsmanship is good, go first." Before going out, Lin Meili looked at herself again in the bronze mirror and said with satisfaction.
The mansion of the prince of this town is also too big, I wonder that I came in by this road yesterday, how did I turn around and return to the place just now, Lin Meili wondered if she had encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and she heard the complaint of Ding Xiaojiang not far away. "Sister Beauty, why don't you call me when you go out?" Lin Meimei, who was about to sneak out to go shopping by herself, happened to be caught red-handed by Ding Xiaojiang, who got up early in the morning to practice.
"Boy, this time you have wronged your sister and me, I came to you specially to find you, no one else knows, why don't you take me out quickly." Lin Meili said incorrectly.
Since Lin Meili and the others were personally led into the mansion by the white housekeeper yesterday, the old man guarding the door did not stop the two from going out, but just went to report to the white housekeeper as soon as they left. Butler Bai has been in this mansion for nearly thirty years, and naturally knows that his master values these people, so he went directly to the study of Zhenguo Gong.
"The slave has already inquired about the details of these people, they did meet the eldest lady and the little young master on the way to Beijing, and there seems to be nothing suspicious at present." The white butler replied truthfully.
"How about the county order surnamed Li?" Zhen Guogong continued to ask.
"Born in a humble family, he is sleek but does not lose his style."
"There really is a father and there must be a son, and his two sons are not pedantic people who die to study, especially the small one, which is not a thing in the pool at first glance." Zhen Guogong listened to the investigation report of the white housekeeper, but he was a little surprised by the origin of Lin Zicong's brother and sister, and the two really couldn't see the temperament of the peasant family. It seems that the accident of his children this time is very likely to be caused by the unrest of his back house, and there should be no other external human factors.
Zhen Guogong waved his hand and waved away the white butler, but it could be seen that the other party looked like he wanted to say something, so he said impatiently: "What else is the matter?" I saw that the white butler took out a pile of crumpled paper from his sleeve, and Zhen Guogong was a little unhappy when he saw this: "You have been with the master for so long, don't you know the character of the master?" If you have something to say, say it quickly, and let it go if you have a fart! ”
After hearing this, the white butler muttered in his heart: I know your rough temperament in private. So he simply had the audacity to tell the story that when he was investigating these people yesterday, he found these torn missing person notices on Lin Meimei's carriage. "The slave found someone to re-assemble these scraps of paper yesterday, and found that these are the search notices for the eldest lady and the little young master in the mansion, a total of four at different times and bounties, and now there is one missing here, after the eldest lady and the little young master returned to the house yesterday, the slave has already sent someone to destroy all the ones that were posted outside."
After a while, I heard the hearty laughter of Zhen Guogong from the study: "I guess the missing 50,000 taels must be on the girl surnamed Lin, this girl is too eccentric." ”
Sister Lin, who was still shopping outside, didn't know that her careful thinking had been completely exposed due to her littering behavior.
"Xiao Er, do you know if there is a more reliable tooth shop around here?" Lin Meili took a sip of tea and learned the way to inquire about the news on TV, and first thought of coming to the tea shop to inquire.
"Guest officer, you are asking the right person, turn right when you go out, there is a tooth shop, everything is sold there, and the price is fair." After Xiao Er finished speaking, he obviously looked like he was about to give me a reward, and even the rough line Ding Xiaojiang saw it, and directly took out a few copper coins from his arms and said, "What is the name of the tooth shop?" ”
"There's a tooth line!" Xiao Er quickly accepted the copper coin.
"Answer well!" Ding Xiaojiang thought that the price of goods in the capital was high, and these copper coins couldn't even ask the truth in the capital.
"Sister, why did you leave, I haven't asked clearly?" Ding Xiaojiang turned his head again and found that Lin Meili had already walked away.
"Didn't he already say his name!" Lin Meili didn't even reply before she replied.
There is a tooth shop, which is the largest intermediary in the capital, and as soon as Lin Meili walked into the tooth shop, she was warmly entertained, thinking: This boss is quite good at doing business.
"This beautiful young lady is the chief advisor of the Aristomy Dental Shop below. Do you have anything to do to be here today? "It was a man in his 30s who spoke.
Lin Meili listened to this man's words, but there were turbulent waves in her heart, no wonder she felt familiar, the name of this tooth shop, the service concept of customer first, and the word chief consultant, this should not be an intermediary company opened by a fellow countryman. But when I think about it again, I don't necessarily think that every fellow is good, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, so I still don't recognize each other first.
"I want to open a furniture shop, the shop should be bigger, and I chose a lively and popular place." Thinking of this, Lin Meili simply said her request directly.
The chief consultant didn't expect that the little girl in front of him was going to open a shop and do business. At that moment, he flipped through the details of the several ready-made shops that met the requirements in his hand and showed them to Lin Meili for viewing.
Lin Meili went out this time, in addition to the 500 taels of house keeping fees given by Murong Bai at the beginning, there was also the 3,000 taels of silver given by Uncle Ding to open a shop, but she didn't expect that the price in the capital was several times that of Longfeng Town, and the cheapest shop at the moment also cost 5,000 taels of silver. Ding Xiaojiang, who was on the side, naturally saw the price of the shop, so he whispered to Lin Meimei: "Sister, my father also gave me another 3,000 taels of silver, saying that I was afraid that it would not be enough to make up for it at that time." ”
After hearing this, Lin Meili looked Ding Xiaojiang up and down and said, "Boy, you hide it deep enough, no wonder your trolley case is so heavy." ”
After hearing this, Ding Xiaojiang scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "My father said that there are three cunning rabbits." ”
As soon as Lin Meili saw that the funds were in place, she didn't delay any longer, and directly asked the chief consultant to lead them to the field inspection. Surprisingly, the cheapest shop is located in the center of the city, covering a large area, and the chief consultant said that because the owner of the shop was in a hurry to leave the capital, he could not bear to sell it at a low price. Ding Xiaojiang has been doing business with his father since he was a child, and naturally he also saw the advantages of this shop, so the two of them paid the deposit directly first, and the two agreed to pay the rest of the balance at this time tomorrow.
