Chapter 159: Su Jiu'er is really a fool
But they don't have so much money in their hands now, Gu Feng has taken a fancy to the location of this inn, and business here will definitely be good in the future.
Thinking of this, Gu Feng raised his eyes to look at Master Xiang and asked, "Can you pay a part of the deposit first?" ”
Su Jiu'er knew in her heart that Gu Feng wanted this inn very much, but in fact, she also wanted it, and the price offered by Master Xiang was a little more expensive.
But people can't look at it, and in the long run, this shop is definitely worth the price.
Master Xiang's face was hesitant, and he said with some uncertainty, "Pay the deposit?" ”
"For example, this month, we will give a deposit of 1,000 taels, and then we will give 250 taels every month, and we will pay it in four months, Master Xiang, do you think this is okay?" Gu Feng knew that Master Xiang couldn't wait to make a move, but he was unwilling to lower the price.
Sure enough, Gu Feng's proposal made Master Xiang hesitate.
Master Xiang's grandson made an accident, and his son said in his heart that he still had two thousand taels to fish out his grandson.
If it weren't for the purpose of fishing out his grandson, Master Xiang would not be willing to sell this shop.
He had saved up his life's savings, and he had only 1,200 taels left with this inn.
It is precisely because he is reluctant to sell this inn that he will bite the price, and Master Xiang also understands that many rich people in the town are staring at this piece of fat and want to wait for him to reduce the price.
"You mean, give me two thousand taels and five months?" Master Xiang squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Gu Feng seriously, and asked.
"Yes." Gu Feng glanced at Su Jiu'er beside him, and saw that she was sitting there with a meek smile and looking at him, as if she would not object no matter what he said.
Being so awe-inspiring and worshipping by a person made Gu Feng feel that he seemed to be the best person in the world.
"But can that be shortened?" Master Xiang felt that what Gu Feng said was a good idea, so that he could sell this inn to the price he wanted.
"Master Xiang thinks it should be appropriate for a few months?" Gu Feng knew that his statement made Master Xiang's heart moved, because there would not be a second person in this inn who was willing to pay such a high price.
"This?" Master Xiang lowered his eyes and pondered, thought for a while, stretched out three fingers, and then cautiously spoke, "For three months, the deposit is one thousand, and the next month is five hundred." ”
Gu Feng didn't hesitate this time, and looked at Master Xiang with a smile, "Okay." ”
"Still, I have a reluctant request." Master Xiang sat up straight, put his hands on his knees, and kept holding the soup woman, "Shopkeeper Zhou and the three guys in the inn, I don't know if you can keep them." ”
"They're not slaves, they're just hired by me, so you don't have to worry about anything else." Master Xiang knew Gu Feng's concerns, and hurriedly added.
Gu Feng hesitated and said in a low voice, "Yes." ”
He and Su Jiu'er have never opened an inn, and the shopkeeper Zhou is an old man, so it will be much more convenient if he is there.
The matter had been discussed, and Master Xiang asked the shopkeeper Zhou to invite people from the government.
The transfer of the title deed needs to be notified to the government, and with the seal of the government, the transaction can be completed.
gave Master Xiang a thousand taels of silver, Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er paid another two hundred taels of silver, and there were only three hundred taels of silver left in the hands of the two of them.
Master Xiang asked the servant to take away all the things in his room, and said hello to the shopkeeper Zhou and the three shopkeepers, and then got into the carriage and left sadly.
There were no customers in the store at this time, and Gu Feng called all four people in the store to the lobby.
In addition to Zhou's shopkeeper, there are three teenagers in the store.
The four men stood there in an orderly manner, not daring to speak.
Qi Xiaohao and Qi Xiaotian are brothers, and their brothers' families live in this town.
Qi Xiaohao is the elder brother, fifteen years old this year, and he has reached the age of saying goodbye. Qi Xiaotian is only thirteen years old this year, and he still has baby fat on his face, which looks very likable.
Gao Xiaohu is the tallest of the three, the youngest one, only twelve this year, dull and silent, all the work in the kitchen is done by him, don't look at his young age, but his skills are excellent.
Gu Feng inquired about the situation of the inn, and arranged for them with a cold face, letting them continue to work in the inn, and the salary was the same as before, but the account book had to be redone.
Gu Feng explained everything, and saw that the sun was getting higher and higher, and the hour was not early, so he asked Xiaohu to cook, and then go back after eating here at noon.
Gao Xiaohu's craftsmanship is really not blown, and he is no worse than Mama Zhu.
Su Jiu'er couldn't help but look at Gao Xiaohu twice, he may have been born to be a cook.
After eating, Gu Feng took Su Jiu'er home slowly.
Sitting on the horse, Su Jiu'er thought that when she went home, she would quickly embroider two more screens, and she would be able to pay back the money for buying the inn.
Su Jiu'er was still thinking that if she didn't have any money, she would sell all her jewelry, and that box of gold should be worth a lot of money, and if it wasn't enough, she would borrow it everywhere.
But she never thought that Gu Feng would come up with such a good idea.
"Xianggong." Su Jiu'er was used to sitting on the horse, leaning lightly on Gu Feng's chest behind her back, and looked up at Gu Feng, "How did you think of giving Master Xiang money every month?" ”
"At that time, I thought that if I could delay it for a month or two, I would be able to make up for it by asking my senior brother to borrow some money." Gu Feng grabbed the reins with both hands and encircled Su Jiu'er in his arms, for fear that Su Jiu'er would fall, "Go back and let our blacksmith make a new saddle, make it bigger, and then press a stirrup for you." ”
Su Jiu'er's little face under the hat was flushed, and when she thought of being able to come out with Gu Feng in the future, her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
"Won't it be convenient for me to follow you?" Su Jiu'er asked with some hesitation.
Many men are reluctant to take their little ladies with them when they go out, because they often look for flowers and willows.
"I said, take you out for a walk." Gu Feng clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the horse ran faster, "When the child is older, we will go farther." ”
Su Jiu'er felt that she was like a bird that had just come out of the cage, flying freely with Gu Feng.
Originally, she was worried that Gu Feng might have another woman outside, but now that Su Jiu'er pondered it, she felt that she might be thinking too much.
If Gu Feng really had another woman outside, then he would take her out every day in the future, how could he have time to meet that woman.
Su Jiu'er couldn't help but curse herself in a low voice, thinking idly.
Su Jiu'er is now a female celebrity much faster than before, she pondered that the embroidery in her hand is almost done, and it will take more than ten days to embroider one, and the money in the inn will be earned.
Originally, Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er wanted to repair the inn this year, but now the two of them don't have much money in their hands at all, so they can only wait for the money to come later.
When he returned to the door, Gu Feng took the lead in getting off the horse, and then he hugged Su Jiu'er off the horse, and when she stood firm, she let go of Su Jiu'er's body and reached out to take off the hat curtain in front of Su Jiu'er's face.
"Xianggong, I can come down by myself." Su Jiu'er smiled like a satisfied cat.
"It's too high." Gu Feng handed the hat curtain to Su Jiu'er, and saw that the hairpin on her head was about to fall off, so he raised his hand and inserted the hairpin on the ground on her head into it, "It's not good if it falls." ”
Su Jiu'er felt that she looked at Gu Feng with a smile like a fool, but she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart.
"Sister Jiu'er."
A familiar voice came from not far away, and Su Jiu'er looked up and saw Luo Nian standing in the distance crampedly.
"I'll go in first." Gu Fengtou didn't pull the horse into the house again.
Su Jiu'er tried hard to restrain the smile on her face, but the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
Raising his feet and walking in front of Luo Nian, perhaps because he was in a good mood, Su Jiu'er looked at Luo Nian a lot more pleasantly, reached out to take Luo Nian's hand, and said happily, "Xiao Nian, Lord An will come to our house for dinner tomorrow evening, and I will invite you to come over at that time." ”
Luo Nian had been wandering around the door of Gu's house all morning, afraid that Su Jiu'er was just lying to her, but now that she heard Su Jiu'er say this, Luo Nian's uneasy heart was finally put back in her stomach.
"Thank you, Sister Jiu'er." Luo Nian felt that Su Jiu'er was closer than her own sister, gave her food, and introduced her to a good place, with a little gratitude in her heart, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do." ”
"You're polite," Su Jiu'er grabbed Luo Nian's hand, and said without blushing and heartbeat, "I don't have a sister, when I see you, I think you are like my own sister, and when you make money in the future, I will help you ask the matchmaker to find you a good family to marry." ”
The smile on Luo Nian's face deepened a little, and she wondered in her heart, how could she marry someone else if she followed the official master in the future, just climb into the official master's bed.
Luo Nian had also heard about Lord An's robbery, but he only felt that Su Jiu'er, the elder sister, was already stupid at home, otherwise how could she be willing to be a peasant woman?
For the sake of Su Jiu'er's sake, Luo Nian pondered that if she became an official wife in the future, she would definitely take more care of Su Jiu'er.
"That's my brother-in-law just now!" Luo Nian said jokingly, "My brother-in-law is so good to my sister, I look very envious!" ”
"You'll meet such a man in the future." The smile between Su Jiu'er's eyebrows and eyes became even brighter, and she said softly, "I think that I can marry Xianggong, which is a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes!" ”
Su Jiu'er is such a fool! Although Luo Nian thought so in her heart, her heart had completely softened, and she felt that she still had to take more care of Su Jiu'er in the future, "Sister has a good heart, and there will definitely be good rewards in the future!" ”
Su Jiu'er smiled and didn't speak.
There is a saying among the people that good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil.
An Zeqing's retribution is coming soon!
Following.
Luo Nian knew that An Zeqing would come to Gu's house in the evening, so he arrived at Gu's house early to help prepare meals.
The child Su Jiu'er was directly handed over to Gu Feng, and the three women were busy in the kitchen.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the earth orange, and the autumn breeze blew away, blowing away a few fallen leaves.
There was a knock on the door outside, Su Jiu'er was stir-frying, and turned her head to look at Luo Nian on the side, "Xiao Nian, open the door." ”
Luo Nian came back to his senses suddenly, and when he was trying to understand what Su Jiu'er was talking about, his cheeks gradually became two flushes, and he hurriedly walked towards the courtyard gate.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Luo Nian raised his hand to straighten his somewhat messy hair, tidied up his clothes, and then reached out to open the door.
Luo Nian had heard Little Sixth Brother say how handsome An Zeqing had grown, but when he saw him for the first time, his heart had stopped beating.
His eyebrows were handsome, his nose was high, and his thin lips were pursed, which was completely different from what she imagined to be a farmer.
Luo Nian looked directly at the man in front of him, and there was only one thought in his heart, that is, no matter what the cost, he had to be with him.
An Zeqing glanced at Luo Nian, his expression was hesitant, he didn't seem to have seen this woman, and wondered if he had gone to the wrong door.
"Girl." An Zeqing smiled cleanly and said slowly, "Is this the Gu family?" ”
Su Jiu'er listened to An Zeqing's voice coming from the door, and curled her lips with satisfaction, this is really a good day!
