Chang'an nodded: "Seventh Master don't worry, I rubbed a mud pill and fed him to eat, he is nine poisons devouring the heart, if you don't take the antidote for a year, your whole body will ulcerate and die, if you want the antidote, you have to keep your mouth shut." The boy was afraid of death, and gave him ten dares, and he didn't dare to say a word. ”

"Okay."

Seeing that Gao Lang stopped speaking for a long time, Chang'an hesitated for a moment, and asked: "How could the girl from Xiaolou sell the seventh master here, if this is spread out, the seventh master will ...... you?"

"How am I?" Gao Lang's eyes were raised, and when he looked at it for no reason, the momentum made people's legs weak.

Chang'an stood solemnly and lowered his head: "Chang'an is just afraid that the eyes of the seventh master will be polluted here." ”

"I brought it up to be here." Gao Lang slowly arrived, "It can not only solve the urgent needs of Xiaolou, but also hide the tracks, who would have thought that I would live in Xiaoqi Pavilion?" I'm afraid that those wild dogs can also find it. ”

Gao Lang continued: "At present, the Wuli River is fighting fiercely, we must seize the opportunity to do better things here." As before, you will sneak out of the top people on the battlefield and use them for your own use, but this time you have to catch up with the old five. If necessary, you can bring someone here and let me see it. ”

"Yes." Chang'an jaw head.

Only here, he brought the man to meet the Seventh Master, and it will not arouse suspicion, the Seventh Master is really wise, and Chang'an's admiration for the Seventh Master is a little more.

……

Jin Xiaolou took the silver and immediately rushed to Xiangshui Street, and saw that the notice was properly posted in front of the two-story building, so he was relieved.

Then he went up and took down the notice, and the address of Zhang's family was written at the bottom of the notice: the third home west of Luer Lane, Yanxie Street.

Jin Xiaolou put the notice in his sleeve, turned around and asked the old man who sold sugar gourds on the street for directions, looking for it while walking, and after a while, he arrived at Luer Lane.

Luer Lane is close to the Yicheng River, the riverside is full of inverted willows, and a row of more than a dozen families live next to the river.

Jin Xiaolou looked at it at a glance, the third house has gray walls and tiles, there is no yard, and a few stone steps are built with three stone slabs outside a green wooden gate, and a willow tree under the stone steps has fallen into the river, swinging with the undulating waves.

It was a comfortable and warm small family, but at this moment, a papier-mâché white lantern was hung in front of the green wood door, and the wooden door was opened, and the inside was a mourning hall at a glance.

There was no coffin in the middle of the mourning hall, and there were two benches on either side, and a thin woman dressed in a plain dress sat alone on one of the benches, with her back to the door, motionless.

This woman must be the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family.

Fortunately, she was dressed plainly today, Jin Xiaolou rubbed her hands, although the door was open, she still walked to the door and knocked lightly.

The woman inside turned around, her face was full of tears, she glanced at the visitor, and choked up: "Girl, please go back first, the condolences have not yet begun......"

Before the words fell, the people wept silently.

Jin Xiaolou was a little at a loss, she was not good at appeasing people with sad emotions.

I had to take two steps forward, handed her a handkerchief, and said, "Please mourn, that, I'm not here to mourn, I'm here to find you." ”

"Looking for me?" The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family wiped her tears, raised her head to look at Jin Xiaolou, carefully identified her for a moment, and after making sure that she didn't know her, she asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Jin Xiaolou took out the notice from the inner pocket of his sleeve: "I want to buy your shop." ”

Zhang's daughter-in-law looked relieved, Lao Zhang has been dead for three days, and there is no condolences because the family can no longer afford the coffin money, and Lao Zhang is still parked in the bedroom next door.

Zhang's family has some family background, his son is looking for a job in the barracks, and there is some food money in January, Lao Zhang is a trader, and the business has been getting bigger and bigger recently, and the small stall has been replaced by a shop.

It has cost a lot of money to treat his son's funeral, and Lao Zhang is too sad to be sick again, and he is seriously ill and has spent almost all the money in the family these days.

Zhang's daughter-in-law's name is Guo Ruyue, she is Lao Zhang's successor, she is just twenty-five years old this year, and the son who fell into the river was also born to Lao Zhang and her previous daughter-in-law, and she has only been married for two years.

In case of being young, where did she go through these things, she panicked for a while, so she had to sell the shop at a low price to raise money to bury Lao Zhang.

However, how many people can take out three hundred taels at once, it is not easy to sell urgently, so many days of waiting, no one has come to buy their own shop, and Ruyue secretly plans, if you wait for another day, you can't sell it, so you can only pull Lao Zhang to the mass grave and bury it.

She guarded the widowhood for him for a lifetime, and burned a little more paper money every Qingming and sacrifice day, and Ruyue was worthy of her conscience.

"That's great." Guo Ruyue took a deep breath, "Three hundred taels? ”

Jin Xiaolou nodded, and took out the five hundred taels of silver ticket that Heniang gave her just now: "Here are five hundred taels, if you agree, I will immediately go and exchange the silver and give you three hundred taels." ”

"Yes, of course I do, Lao Zhang can finally leave decently." In addition, Ruyue got up and was about to go to the back room to get the contract of the shop, and halfway through, she suddenly paused, turned around, and asked worriedly: "Girl, what is your name?" ”

"Jin Xiaolou."

As soon as Jin Xiaolou's words fell, Ruyue's face darkened, her eyes suddenly lost their brilliance, and her whole person fell into a daze.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the situation, Jin Xiaolou slowly walked back to the front of the hall and sat down, asking strangely.

"Xiaolou girl, let's go, I can't sell this shop to you." Besides, Ruyue said this sentence weakly, and then turned her face away and ignored Jin Xiaolou.

"Why is that?" Jin Xiaolou really became more and more confused the more he listened, he was obviously good at what he said just now, why didn't he sell it all of a sudden?

"Is the price inappropriate?" Jin Xiaolou didn't speak when he saw the situation, and asked.

The shop for 300 taels is indeed sold cheaply, if you regret it and want to increase the price, Jin Xiaolou can also accept it.

But then Ruyue shook her head, blinked her eyes, and rolled down a series of tears.

It took a long time before he spoke with difficulty: "Miss Xiaolou, let's go, I can sell this shop to anyone, but I can't sell it to you." ”

"What's the reasoning?" Jin Xiaolou was stunned, "Aunt Zhang, do you have something unspeakable?" ”

Obviously short of money, but he didn't sell it, and he said that he just didn't sell it to himself, Jin Xiaolou had some speculation in his heart.

simply sat down beside Guo Ruyue, and said softly: "You can tell me any difficulties, I sincerely want to take over that shop, if there is any problem, we can solve it together." ”

Besides, Ruyue had a stomach full of bitterness, and when she heard Jin Xiaolou's soft voice, she immediately let out a long sigh: "Miss Xiaolou, you offended the wrong person." ”

As soon as these words came out, Jin Xiaolou immediately knew that this matter had more or less something to do with the Jin family.

With the methods of those people in the Jin family, they can make a stumbling block for themselves in Xinning, either Jin Xiang or Jin Xiaotao.

Sure enough, Guo Ruyue continued: "A few days ago, only two days ago, the young lady in the county lord's mansion specially found me. ”

As he spoke, he wiped his tears: "You don't know, Lao Zhang is seriously ill these days, and the family has no income, so I finally found a job in the small kitchen of the county governor's mansion, if I sell the shop to you, the young lady will immediately kick me out of the house, and I will lose the work in the small kitchen, I ...... I don't know what to do next......"

As soon as he heard that this was the reason, Jin Xiaolou immediately smiled.

"If it's because of this, then don't worry, I'll hire you in the future." Jin Xiaolou swore that the situation was like the moon, "I opened a shop to do business, but I have to recruit a lot of people." ”

Seeing the situation, Ruyue stopped her tears, and her eyes rolled as if she was hesitating.

Jin Xiaolou continued: "And I won't stay in Xinning for a long time, this shop can be regarded as what you rented to me, I will pay you three hundred taels of rent at a time, and after you spend this time, after I leave, whether you keep this shop or sell it again, it's up to you, you always have a side to rely on." ”

"Rent...... Rent My ...... It's true? "Ruyue never thought that Jin Xiaolou would be such a generous and straightforward person.

"Really, we'll have a note right away." Jin Xiaolou smiled, borrowed a pen and paper, and wrote the deed immediately.

After signing with Guo Ruyue, Jin Xiaolou said: "I will start hiring you today, the five hundred taels will be here for you, you will keep three hundred taels for yourself, and the rest will be repaired for me, and the rest will be returned to me." ”

Jin Xiaolou believes in his own vision of seeing people, and this young daughter-in-law of the Zhang family is a trustworthy person.

Besides, Ruyue no longer shirks, she is not stupid, she can last for a while working in the county government, but renting out this shop with such a large sum of money is the best way out, she is grateful to meet Jin Xiaolou.

This is also what Jin Xiaotao didn't expect, she thought that she could easily control Guo Ruyue with a job, so that Jin Xiaolou couldn't buy this shop, but she never thought that Jin Xiaolou was willing to use the money to rent a shop, and she was more willing to stay with Guo Ruyue to help in her own shop.

"Miss Xiaolou, my name is Guo Ruyue, and I am not a few years older than you, just call me Ruyue, don't call Aunt Zhang anymore."

"Sister Ruyue." Jin Xiaolou thought about it for a while, and didn't call her name directly, "For now, you can bury Lao Zhang first, and I will talk to you about the details of the repair of the shop in the future." ”

Jin Xiaolou looked at the sky, she still had to rush home, there would be no carriage when it was late.

She already had a plan for the decoration of this two-story building, and she needed to take another time to slowly tell Guo Ruyue.

Besides, Ruyue suddenly stopped Jin Xiaolou: "By the way, you just said that you won't stay in Xinning for a long time, where are you going?" ”

"Go to bigger places."

For Jin Xiaolou, Xinning is just a springboard, and she has never wanted to stay for a long time.

After Jin Xiaolou finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer and left Zhang's house.

got off the carriage at the entrance of the village, Jin Xiaolou was not in a hurry to go home, but walked to the stream.

Autumn river fresh is the fattest, Lin'er has recently begun to add complementary food, in addition to egg yolk, the most commonly eaten is surimi.

The fish at home were almost finished, and she had to catch two more.

Walking and walking, but he noticed that there always seemed to be someone following him behind him, Jin Xiaolou walked and stopped, and when he came to the edge of the bluestone by the stream, he suddenly turned around and met the eyes of the person behind him......
