Chapter 34: The Shop
The days passed calmly and busy, and in a blink of an eye, it was close to the Dragon Boat Festival.
Xue saw that he didn't have a deep feeling for the Dragon Boat Festival in his previous life, he only knew that he wanted to eat zongzi, and where there was a dragon boat show on TV, and then he could have a holiday during the Dragon Boat Festival, but I don't know who will eat my mother's zongzi bag during the Dragon Boat Festival this year? But someone crossed over to her and made a filial daughter for her?
The Zhou family attaches great importance to the Dragon Boat Festival, Erniang and others do things very quickly, and they start to wear various wire locks to be worn during the Dragon Boat Festival early, and they re-make the small belly pocket of Wufu for Qi Niang, Ba Lang, Jiu Lang and Shi Niang.
The village has begun to organize groups to go up the mountain to collect wormwood.
In the afternoon, Xue Jian was pretending to be serious about writing with Zhou Boxue, and when she heard the sound of the door, she got up happily and opened the door, it was Erniang.
Closed the door, got up and poured a cup of tea, "Miss Xian is here!" Miss Hyun, please be seated! Miss Hyun, Yukimi will make you tea! ”
Erniang was startled, couldn't help frowning, and asked the eldest brother with her eyes, and when she saw the eldest brother cleaning up the pen and ink on the desk as if nothing had happened, she smiled clearly.
"Big brother, I did a little calculation, in summer and winter, you generally don't see fresh mushrooms, so our mushroom sales are quite stable, but in the end it's better to open a store yourself." Erniang said goodbye and put down the account book in her hand.
Yukimi listened to it from the sidelines, and had to be convinced that it was a merchant family who had a business mind.
She silently helped Erniang put the account book together and put it at hand.
"Xianniang is right, I have been thinking about this matter for a few days, and I have asked Yitian to go to Anning County to find a shop." Zhou Bo took a sip of tea before nodding and telling her.
Erniang didn't expect her brother to be so fast, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother Bai is slippery on the surface, but in fact, he is a real person, and it is indeed safer to entrust him to do things." ”
Then he sighed and said, "Is this shop to buy or rent?" Big brother, our family's expenses are really big a few days ago, where is the principal? ”
Zhou Bo smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is a big brother here." ”
With just a few simple words, the corners of Xue Jian and Erniang's mouths rose at the same time. That's right, with Zhou Bo here, everyone has the backbone. Thinking like this, Erniang's eyes were a little red.
Yukimi took the cup and refilled the tea for her.
Erniang silently calmed down, she had trusted this eldest brother since she was a child, and she no longer bothered herself when she heard it, so she smiled and said, "The eldest brother is very right. ”
Anyway, let her think, but she can't think of any good way.
After she left, Xue saw that while collecting the teacup, Bian Yingying smiled and asked tentatively, "Da Lang, are you going to do business with Master Bai?" ”
Zhou Bo was only stunned for a moment, then lay down and said, "Just you." ”
Xue saw that when she heard this, she knew that she had guessed his mind, and she admired this ancient man more and more in her heart, and she was able to use all the connections and resources around her, and she was more like she had crossed over than herself.
"Then Young Master Bai agreed." She grinned and said, yes, not a question.
"Are you very interested in the young master of the Bai family?" Zhou Bo asked with his back to her expressionlessly.
This is Zhou Bo's usual means of changing the topic, Xue saw that he stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes behind him, Zhou Bo seemed to see it, and scolded: "Ugly people are so weird!" "You're ugly, your whole family is ugly!
couldn't help it, he made a few slashing actions behind his back, with such thoughts, Xue was restless in his dreams, Zhou Bo listened to her dream words, the stingy girl was really boring, and she couldn't say anything new in her dreams!
A few days later, Bai Yitian really came to Pingshan Village at a gallop.
At the gate of the courtyard, I met Yukimi in a water-red dress, like a hibiscus waiting to be released. He smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the girl has become more and more watery." ”
Xue saw that he didn't look at him, raised his head slightly and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the white prince is getting poorer and poorer." ”
Bai Yitian couldn't help but be surprised, he hadn't seen him for a few days, and he was good at fighting his mouth.
With no words, he followed behind Yukimi and entered the study.
Seeing them come in, Xue Jian stood behind Zhou Bo without saying a word, carefully studying the roof. Zhou Bo waited for a while and saw no movement, looked back at her, and scolded: "Don't make tea yet, I'm used to being lazy!" ”
Bai Yitian then said: "If you can be lazy, you should fight!" ”
"It's fighting, it's also my young master's business, what does it have to do with the son of the Bai family?" Yukimi finally jumped out.
I finally drank hot tea, so I called Wuyan to report to work.
"My son-in-law has found a total of three shops, two of which are in the bustling main street, the larger ones have an annual rent of 60 taels, the smaller ones have an annual rent of 50 taels, and one is slightly secluded, with an annual rent of 40 taels, which is bigger than the two above." Needless to say, he is always smiling, and he is very solemn in business.
Even Xue Jian, who was thinking about picking things, couldn't help but sigh at Bai Yitian's efficiency.
Zhou Bo raised his eyelids and asked, "How big?" ”
Needless to say, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, "Back to Uncle Zhou, that shop is also suitable, and it is even more valuable to bring a small cross-courtyard." ”
Xue saw that his eyes lit up, isn't that still a solution to the problem of food and accommodation for the guys!
Bai Yitian said with a smile: "It is said that the time and place are right to do business, the location of this store cannot be ambiguous, according to the little brother's opinion, if you want to rent, you can rent the best!" ”
Zhou Bo smiled slightly and didn't speak, but turned his head and waved his hand to Xue Jian and said, "It's been hard for the past few days, Xue Jian went to take Wu Mu to the shower room, and asked Sanni to help boil some hot water to make it comfortable." ”
Yukimi pouted, but she just wanted to talk alone, and she was looking for such an excuse.
Needless to say, I fell in love with this shower room only once without saying a word, and I heard that Erhu directly built the bath room on the mountain in the cave, and the bathing and watering were not delayed, and they were even more envious.
"The young master of the Zhou family is really capable, how can everyone imagine such enjoyment?"
Xue Jian snorted: "Extremely yes, our eldest young master is a capable person, and your son is a capable person among capable people!" ”
was stunned for a moment, what is a capable person among capable people? So he fussed and asked, "Sister Yukimi, what do you mean?" ”
"It means that no matter how capable our young master is, he is not as good as your son-in-law, just come and pick up ready-made!" Yukimi said slowly.
Only then did he smile and said, "This is quite a bit of truth!" ”
"Where's the fraction? It's clearly 10 points, 12 points! "It's fun without saying anything.
After a little lunch, I went to rent a boat for two cents and went to Daqingshan.
This is silent and the two tigers, according to Xue, they smell the same, and they must be muttering bad things when they get together.
This time he only rested for one night, Bai Yitian rushed back to Anning County with Buyan, because he stayed in Daqingshan last night, so he didn't know that he was in such a hurry, so naturally he didn't catch up.
Zhou Bo only said: "Waiting for Brother Yitian's letter, partial work, partial work." ”
"Bo Ge'er just wait for my good news." Raise your hand slightly and salute, and then take your leave.
Yukimi leaned behind him and whispered, "What's the news?" But Zhou Bo rolled his eyes and silenced his voice.
Xue Jian, who couldn't ask, scolded in his heart, not being satisfied with such a little bit of gossip, it was too much!
Under Zhou Bo's calm face, he hid his joy, don't think that Xue Jian couldn't see it, Xue Jian was even more annoyed.
This look was in Zhou Bo's eyes, and there was a smile in the corners of his eyes, so he ignored her and raised his legs to go back to the yard.
Wu Niang and Liu Lang just ran out, "Huh? Didn't you say that Brother Yitian was here? Why didn't you see it, so you said you left again? ”
Xue saw it and thought again, this Bai Yitian is so annoying, why do all the children in the family like him?
Zhou Boluo snorted with a smile: "Yitian has an urgent matter, and it will be done in a few days, and he will come over." ”
"Oh," said the two children, dejectedly playing elsewhere.
Xue Jian sighed: "The young master of the Bai family can use magic, so that the young masters and young ladies will mistakenly think that he is good." ”
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Bo stiffened his face, "What is the girl's duty?" ”
Xue Jian immediately laughed: "I know, I know, Xue Jian's duty is to serve the eldest young master of the Zhou family." Zhou Bo glanced at her, and saw that he was talking about something, and couldn't help but raise his hand and knock on her head.
On the morning of the third day, it was overcast, and I rushed over alone without saying a word. Usually, Bai Yi's master and servant all three of them ride horses, and this time they came by car, mainly because Zhou Bo had just recovered from his leg injury, and he picked up Xu Cong'an to return home for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Erniang urged Du Ma to Zhang Luo, with a small basket of pine flower eggs, a small basket of pickled duck eggs, a large basket of mountain mushrooms, and fresh wormwood picked from the mountain.
Yukimi naturally wants to follow.
In order to facilitate the discussion of things, Du Hai also came out with him this time.
Xue Jian guessed that this was the store's business and had a letter of approval, and quietly asked Zhou Bo in the car, but Zhou Bo ignored her and kept closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.
sent Xu Cong'an back to Baifu first, and Xue Jian naturally stayed with Xu Cong'an to clean up his residence, first went to ask Mrs. Bai for peace, and then helped cook.
At this time, Bai Yitian had already taken Zhou Bo and Buyan Du Hai to the street.
At noon, before the meal was ready, they came back on time with a smile, and Xue couldn't help but scold, could it be that he came back because he smelled the fragrance?
When eating, the Bai family naturally praised the pickled duck eggs and Songhua eggs again.
In the afternoon, Zhou Bo took Xue Jian and was sent back without saying a word, but Du Hai stayed.
On the way back, there were only Xue Jian and Zhou Bo in the car, and Xue Jian was curious about the store, "Young Master, which one to rent?" Is the location good? Is it popular? Have you negotiated? ”
"......" Zhou Bo didn't say a word, and gritted his teeth when he saw Xue.
"It must have been a good discussion, that's why your old man has such a gloomy face." Yukimi provoked him.
Zhou Bo glanced back at her confidently, whatever you guessed.
Yukimi's gossip fire only burned himself, but did not light up others.
Originally, Zhou Bo was about to rush back without saying a word, but God had been cloudy all day, and he couldn't hold back in the end, but he still got up.
Wu Yan ate absentmindedly while looking at the sky, Xue saw that she hadn't eaten well, so she hurriedly ran to the study, and wrote a line of words in her crooked font to send it to Buyan.
Stay on rainy days, stay on people, don't stay on days
Without saying a word, he frowned: "This word is written ......"
Seeing Xue Jianyuan's eyes wide open, he immediately said, "The writing is really personal!" Tasteful! ”
picked up the miserable word again, and said without saying a word: "Rainy day, stay guest day, keep people?" Don't stay? ”
As early as when Xue Jian ran in and out, Wu Niang Liulang and others also came over to see the excitement, and now Liulang also grabbed it and read: "On a rainy day, stay a guest day, do you want to keep people?" Stay! ”
Yukimi said proudly: "Both of you are wrong, it should be 'raining, the sky will keep guests, and the sky will not leave people!'" ’”
"You!"
Ha! Ha! Ha!
