This bustling commercial street in Nancang County leads directly to the north and south, the southernmost leads to the city gate, and the northernmost part has a flower temple that is very famous in this area.

Nancang County has a vast area, rich resources and fertile land. Therefore, people believe that all this is due to the blessing of the flower gods here, and they can have a good harvest every year and live and work in peace and contentment. Therefore, the flower temple here is much more prosperous than the temples in other places.

Another reason is that there is a hundred-year-old Lianli tree in the flower temple, and every year on March 15 is the flower god festival here, people not only come to enjoy the flowers, pray for blessings, and reward the flower god; There are also single women who will go to the Lianli tree to throw red ropes and make wishes, hoping that they can get a wishful husband.

The day before the Flower God Festival, a women's talent contest will be held, and a talented woman with both virtue and art will be selected, as long as the boudoir girl who is at least ten years old can participate. The selected women not only won the title of the first talented woman, but also prayed for blessings on behalf of the masses at the prayer meeting. In ancient times, this was a rare opportunity for women to show their faces!

Of course, the benefits are not only these, it is said that the talented women who are selected every year are the objects of the major families competing to marry, which family has such a woman to be selected, and will also be looked down upon.

"You'er, will you go to the Flower Temple in a while?" Qin Haoran followed leisurely, watching her happily look left and right, her eyes were almost out of sight.

"No, there are too many people today." I looked in the direction of the Flower Temple and found that there were more people. pursed his lips, and had to say helplessly.

"Huh? Why don't you go? Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to see the tree? Qin Yanran looked at her suspiciously.

One day, by chance, I heard her mother mention her acquaintance with his father.

It is said that when her mother was a boudoir woman, her grandfather was very fond of this one daughter, but he was not pampered. In terms of upbringing, my grandfather hired an etiquette teacher to teach her etiquette; I invited the master and the master to teach the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. So her mother has been cultivated according to the specifications of everyone's ladies since she was a child!

That year, her mother just reached the age of marriage, and her grandfather specially brought his baby daughter to participate in the Flower God Festival that year. It was also the Flower God Festival that made her mother and his father get married, and the two fell in love with each other at first sight!

The first acquaintance of the two can be called a scene of rotten streets! On that day, her mother, like other women, went to the tree to throw red ropes and pray for her marriage. Everyone knows that if you want to throw the red rope onto the tree, you have to have a heavy object to throw it! Therefore, one end of this red rope will be tied to an iron ring with a little weight.

When her mother was throwing, she lost her head due to nervousness, and threw it crookedly, this crooked didn't matter, she smashed directly into the head of a handsome man, and squatted on the ground on the spot, and didn't get up for a long time.

Su Xiuyun was frightened, and hurriedly went over to offer condolences, "Childe, you don't care, right?" ”

Qin Huaihai, who was stunned when he was young, instinctively raised his head to look at the source of the sound when he heard a melodious voice that was as gentle as water, but when he saw a beautiful woman with a flower and a moon, he was stupid on the spot, and looked at Su Xiuyun in a daze for a long time speechless.

"Is it serious? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to throw the red rope crookedly, I'm sorry if I hit you, did I get hurt? I'll take you to the doctor! Su Xiuyun saw that he didn't speak for a long time, thinking how badly he had been smashed, and suddenly became overwhelmed, and looked around for acquaintances with tears in her eyes, hoping to help her help her up to see the doctor!

At this time, Su Xiuyun really cried, she was afraid of hurting people while also scolding herself for being too stupid, how could she throw a red rope!

Qin Huaihai saw that the woman in front of him was so anxious that she was about to cry, she suddenly came to her senses, and hurriedly stammered: "It's okay, I'm not injured, really...... You...... Don't cry! I don't hurt ......."

Seeing Qin Huaihai in front of her clumsily coaxing her stupid appearance, Su Xiuyun, who was in tears, couldn't help but 'poof' for fun! And Qin Huaihai also laughed after seeing Su Xiuyun laugh. Then, as soon as the two looked at each other, their faces flushed. Then, it was love at first sight, Lang had a concubine who was interested, came to the door to ask for marriage, and went to the church to get married......

This is the whole love story between her mother and his father. After listening to it leisurely, he said with a smile: The Lianli tree of this flower temple is really effective, and the red rope that is not thrown can bring a good marriage! It turned out that her father was smashed out by a red rope!

Back to Reality –

Leisurely when she heard her brother's question, she didn't think about it: "There are too many people!"

Qin Yuran shook his head helplessly! Looking up at the sky, I found that it was time for lunch, so I said leisurely: "It's noon, it's still lunch, let's find a restaurant to eat first?" ”

"yes, okay!" looked left and right leisurely, found a restaurant with an elegantly decorated façade, and pointed, "Brother, go to that house?" Looks good! ”

Qin Yanran said and looked in the direction of his leisurely finger, it was a restaurant called 'Baixiang Building', nodded and responded, "Okay, let's go to that house!" ”

Baixianglou, a well-known restaurant in Nancang County, is famous for its complete dishes. Here, chicken, duck, fish, abalone, and ginseng are all available.

A leisurely group of people, ordered a few of the most distinctive signature dishes, ate and drank for a long time, and the meal was finished!

After eating, they didn't leave in a hurry, but asked for a good pot of tea and sat there to rest!

Since I came out in the morning, except for sitting in the embroidery workshop for a while, I have been wandering the streets! Just take advantage of this time for my son to rest more.

"What are you going to do in a minute?" Qin Yanran took a sip of tea and asked slowly.

"Well, I'll see if there's a takeout shop in a while, and then I'll go buy some things, and then I can go home!" Leisurely smiling and talking about his plan.

Qin Yanran paused to drink tea, and frowned slightly.

"You'er wants to buy a store now? Could it be a little too early? "After all, those fruit tree seedlings haven't grown yet! And it's not certain that it will be accepted after maturity? Is it too anxious to consider opening a store now?

"No, in a few days, some fruits and vegetables will grow! It's a bit too late to come back to the store by then! Some fruits grow fast and will rot if they are not sold in time. ”

"Really? Which fruit grows so fast? I see those fruit trees are just growing leaves? Will it blossom and bear fruit so quickly? Qin Yanran's beautiful eyes widened and asked in surprise.

"Brother will know then!" Now that I've said it, you don't know which one, right?

"By the way, speaking of blossoming and fruiting, there is time for Uncle Dali and them to go to the mountains to find out if there is a wild beehive, right? Let's raise a little bees, and when the trees bloom, we need them to pollinate! In the greenhouse, bees can't get in. Said leisurely thinking.

"Well, good!" Qin Haoran nodded, "Since you plan to find a store, then don't stay here for long, let's go and find out!" ”

After speaking, he called Wan Lei Wanyun to eat at another table, because of the difference between dignity and inferiority in ancient times, the master and servant could not eat at the same table, so they leisurely ordered another table of dishes and let a few people eat at that table!

After checking out and leaving, he took a group of people to buy some things first, and asked Wan Lei, Wan Yun and Uncle Yu Cheng to deliver the things they sold to their carriage first, and let them wait for them there.

Then Qin Haoran and Leisurely took Wanli and Wanxue to find out if there was any store to sell.

The four of them walked around, looked left and right, and finally found a store with a fairly small size to sell at the intersection with an east-west road on this road!

This shop is engaged in grain and oil business, with an area of about 130 square meters, and a two-story layout.

You are very satisfied with the location and area layout of this store. After asking Qin Haoran's opinion, he also felt that he was not wrong. So the four of them went into the store to inquire!

"Two of you? Want to see something? Our store is selling things cheaply! Don't miss it when you pass by! ”

As soon as I entered the door, there was a shop guy with a bright smile, shouting loudly.

"Little second brother, we came in to take a look when we saw a post posted on the outside of your store for sale. Is your boss there? Qin said to the shopkeeper with a gentle smile.

"Oh, you're here to see the shop, huh? Wait a minute, I'll go to the backyard and call our shopkeeper. ”

After saying that, the shopkeeper explained to another shopkeeper and walked to the back of the store!

After a while, the guy who was busy with your shop came back after the middle-aged uncle who thought he was thirty years old. Seeing a few people, the shopkeeper came over with the person who should be the shopkeeper and said, "This is our shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper nodded at them with both hands and fists, and said, "My surname is Chen, and I am the shopkeeper of this shop!" The two of you came today, but came to see this shop? ”

"Shopkeeper Chen is good, his surname is Qin, and this is her sister." Qin Haoran also clasped his hands into fists and saluted back, and then said: "Passing by the door of your shop today, I just happened to see the notice posted outside your shop, so I came in to ask."

"Oh, Gongzi Qin, what does Miss Qin think of my shop? Why don't we find a clean place to talk about it? Shopkeeper Chen said politely with a smile.

"Good! There is Lao Chen's shopkeeper to lead the way. Qin Haoran nodded fortunately, and followed Shopkeeper Chen upstairs. Youran smiled slightly from beginning to end, without saying a word. Outside, she still hopes that her brother will come forward and exercise more, after all, these things will fall on him in the future.

"You may be seated!" Shopkeeper Chen took them to a room on the second floor of the shop and sat down, which seemed to be specially used for entertaining guests. Then he went and summoned a fellow to make a pot of tea, and when he returned, he sat down across from them.

"I am a northerner in Shimohara, and I came here to open a shop more than ten years ago! I thought I could make a home here! But not long ago, a letter came from my hometown, saying that I should rush back to take over the position of patriarch! As you know, this clan has a lot of rules and has to obey, so I want to move all the properties here back to my hometown! That's why the shops here want to sell it. Shopkeeper Chen took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

"You have also seen that the geographical location here is very good, and the scale of my shop is not small, so it is a little more expensive in terms of price, do you look okay?"

Qin Haoran glanced at each other very leisurely, and said with a smile: "Boss Chen, this shop is really good!" Located in the central area, it is also at the junction of the north-south and east-west roads, and the traffic is very convenient! And the specifications and styles of your shop, my sister and I both like it! I don't know how much the shopkeeper Chen asked for to sell this shop? ”

"Haha, Junior Brother Qin is really a person with vision! Don't hide it from the two of you, someone came to see it a few days ago and thought that my price was too expensive, so it didn't come to an end. Now, my hometown is in a hurry, and I originally wanted to sell it for 15,000 taels, if you really see it today, then give me 12,000 taels! I don't have much goods downstairs, so I'll give them to you for free, how about it? Is it acceptable? "It can be seen that this shopkeeper Chen is indeed a little anxious to make a move here!

But 12,000 taels is how much he wants? Youran didn't know much about the price of the current house and land, and she couldn't estimate it, so she could only look at Qin Haoran!

You turned her head to look at her brother who was looking down and thinking, wanting to see what he meant? After a while, Qin Haoran raised his head, smiled leisurely at the shopkeeper who was looking at him, and then said to Shopkeeper Chen: "Since Shopkeeper Chen gave us such a discount, then let's decide it!" It's just that my brother and sister didn't bring so much silver taels when they went out today, so it is better to give Boss Chen two thousand taels as a deposit, and set up a note today, tomorrow, I will take the remaining balance to sign a formal contract with the shopkeeper Chen, and tomorrow I will go to the yamen to go through the deed procedures. Boss Chen, what do you think of this? ”

"Good! Junior Brother Qin is so happy, I don't have any opinion! I like to talk about business with cheerful people like you," Shopkeeper Chen agreed without thinking about it, laughed and continued: "Hahaha... Brother Qin, wait a moment, I'll write you a note!" After saying that, he walked out with a breeze!

After seeing Shopkeeper Chen go out, he asked leisurely, "Brother has calculated everything?"

"Well, the location and environment here are all on the top, although it is only a county seat, but according to such a shop, the asking price of 15,000 taels is really reasonable! And now that he's cheaper for us, it's even more appropriate! Qin Yanran told Youran what he thought.

nodded with a leisurely smile and said, "Well, brother just think about it!" I believe in my brother's abilities! ”

Qin Yanran looked at the smiling cute sister, raised his hand and rubbed her head dotingly, the corners of his smiling mouth deepened a little, a wonderful son! really responded to the sentence 'Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world'!

You couldn't help but sigh again: Why is such a gentle and handsome guy her brother!! ( ๑ŏ ﹏ ŏ๑ )

When Shopkeeper Chen came back, Qin Haoran signed a note with him, gave a deposit, and agreed on a time to meet tomorrow.

After that, the group returned to the parking place, tidied up a little, got into the carriage, and rode home.
