Shen Yuechen sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and saw the streets of people coming and going.

After a while, Zhu Shun, the accompanying little girl, spread the word outside: "Grandma, the Double Happiness Inn has arrived." ”

Shen Yuechen dressed neatly, walked off the carriage with Chunming's hand, and looked up to see a gorgeously decorated three-story gatehouse standing in front of him, with four beautiful and powerful characters written on the big plaque, Double Happiness Inn.

It was noon, but there were still people coming and going in front of the store.

Shen Yuechen was slightly surprised. She thought that since it was a store that was going to change hands, business would be sluggish, but she didn't expect it to be so lively.

As soon as her carriage arrived, a cousin went in to spread the word, and after a while, a middle-aged man forty miles away greeted her with a smile on his face. This person is the owner of the Double Happiness Inn, surnamed Guan, the fourth oldest in the family, known as Guan Siye.

Guan Siye got the news from the Zhu family early, saying that the grandmother of the Zhu family was coming to see the store, so he had been waiting for a long time and didn't dare to snub the distinguished guests.

Zhu Jintang and Guan Siye are just general friends, every time they meet, say hello and say a few words, this time when they heard about his shop sale, Zhu Jintang showed interest for the first time.

After Guan Siye got the news, he was naturally willing to be an adult, firstly, it was a very safe thing to do business with the Zhu family, and secondly, he also happened to take the opportunity to make friends with Zhu Jintang and have more friendship.

Guan Siye personally greeted Shen Yuechen, causing the guests who were eating and drinking on the first floor of the inn to look sideways.

Shen Yuechen was dressed as a plain and decent woman, unassuming, not charming, and looked very easy-going and ordinary.

It's just that no matter how low-key she is, she will inevitably be judged by the guests around her.

Shen Yuechen turned a deaf ear to everyone's whispers, and just looked at the layout format of the store by himself.

The inn has three floors, the first floor is the lobby, the second floor is the private room and ordinary rooms, and the third floor is the sky-sized upper class rooms.

Although it is an inn, it is gorgeously decorated.

After Shen Yuechen looked at it a little, he could guess that the fourth master in front of him should be a person with great taste.

Guan Siye saw that she was young, but fifteen or sixteen years old, medium height, delicate figure, slightly slender, with a pair of ink-like eyes on her beautiful goose egg face, clear and bright, but her eyes were sharp, revealing a shrewdness that was completely inconsistent with her age, and she seemed to be a very thoughtful person.

Guan Siye retracted his gaze, and his tone couldn't help but be more polite: "The eldest and youngest grandmothers came to our store in person, and they were very welcome, and they had already prepared tea and snacks, please come upstairs with me to sit for a while and rest." ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she hurriedly bowed and said, "There is a boss of Laoguan." You are an elder, I am a junior, thanks to you for welcoming you personally, Yuechen is very grateful. ”

Guan Siye hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The young grandmother is too polite, you are a distinguished guest, so you naturally want to be courteous and entertained." ”

Shen Yuechen is not only the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, but also the daughter of the official family, and her status is naturally self-evident.

Guan Siye looked kind, let Shen Yuechen to the private room on the second floor, and after seeing her sit down, he slowly sat down opposite her, and then handed a look to the cousin outside the curtain, signaling them to quickly bring out the new tea.

Guan Siye said with a smile: "I asked people to prepare some new tea, please try it." ”

Shen Yuechen nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Thank you, Boss Guan." ”

Guan Siye followed and asked, "Why didn't the eldest young master come with his sister-in-law today?" He originally thought that the two of them would come together, but he didn't expect it, only Shen Yuechen came. After all, according to her age and identity, it is still very unsuitable to come out and show her face.

Shen Yuechen didn't perceive Guan Siye's thoughts, she just looked around, and then said: "Boss Guan, forgive the juniors for taking the liberty of asking, your store has a superior geography and a stable source of customers, it is a good time, how can you want to exchange it?" ”

Guan Siye said lightly: "I won't tell you the truth, this inn Guan has been open for almost ten years, and it is also because of this store that I have met a lot of friends and made a lot of money." However, now that my parents in my hometown are old, they are looking forward to my return, so I can only endure the pain of parting love. ”

Shen Yuechen listened, his heart moved, and he only said: "Boss Guan is filial, which is really touching." ”

As he spoke, the hot new tea was served.

It was inconvenient for Guan Siye to pour tea and water for Shen Yuechen in person, so he only asked the spring tea accompanying her to do it for her.

Chun Ming poured two cups of tea slowly, one to Guan Siye, and one to Shen Yuechen.

Shen Yuechen first smelled the aroma, then took a sip and praised: "Longjing before the rain, it is really clear." ”

Guan Siye said lightly: "Grandma is so powerful, she tasted it as soon as she tasted it." ”

Shen Yuechen took another sip of tea, and then got straight to the point: "Boss Guan is a busy person, so I won't delay your time much." I like this store of yours very much, and I want to sell it, but I don't know what the price is? ”

When Guan Siye saw her talking about business, he immediately put down the teacup and said, "Grandma is really happy." Since you have spoken, then I will give you a solid answer. When I bought this shop, it cost me a whole 1,500 taels. Now, although this shop is a little old, the location is just right, so Guan doesn't want to sell it at will. When he said this, he paused deliberately and said, "People, as long as you stay in one place for a long time, you will inevitably have feelings. I am reluctant to throw away every brick and tile. To be honest, silver is secondary, and Guan just wants to find a safe new owner for this place. ”

What he said was a bit sincere, and it wasn't all for sensationalism.

Shen Yuechen saw that he said the amount of fifteen hundred taels, and secretly calculated it in his heart. Fifteen hundred taels is a lot of money, and even if the depreciation is subtracted, I'm afraid it won't be too much.

Shen Yuechen immediately smiled slightly: "The junior looks at Boss Guan as a person who values feelings. As you said, you have been in love for a long time, and you have started from scratch here, and you can't let go of it in your heart. After I saw this here today, I am also quite satisfied, but in terms of price, I hope to discuss it carefully with you. ”

Shen Yuechen came prepared today, she sent someone outside to inquire before. On the four main streets in Dezhou City, there is only a small shop of twenty or thirty square meters, and the annual rent is more than twenty taels.

She just visually inspected the Double Happiness Inn, only to feel that this store has three floors, at least about 200 square meters, and there is also a small backyard in the back hall, which is also a lot of places.

Shen Yuechen calculated in his heart, if it was a rent, it would be about two hundred taels a year. But if, if she buys it, the price is less than 1,000 taels, she can grit her teeth and accept it.

Guan Siye saw that she wanted to bargain with herself, so she smiled and said: "Grandma Zhu, Guan Mou has just made a real deal with you, and he didn't lie, Guan Mou wants to make friends with the eldest young master, so I won't sell Guan Zi, one thousand taels, as long as one thousand taels, even the tables, chairs, benches, beds and wardrobes in the store, it's all yours." ”

The Zhu family has a big business, and they are used to doing big business. Therefore, Guan Siye directly opened his mouth and gave the selling price, and he didn't mention the rent in half a sentence.

"Grandma, to be honest, if you want to continue to open the inn, Guan can even give you this iron-clad signboard. It's not that I boast about myself, the business here has always been only a loss and not a profit, if you are next, with the reputation of the Zhu family, you can return to the capital in less than a year. ”

One thousand taels, although the price is not high, it is not affordable enough.

Shen Yuechen groaned slightly: "Boss Guan, you are very thoughtful. However, the price is still a bit high. And, to tell you the truth, I didn't want to buy this place to open a restaurant inn, so many of your belongings here are not needed. ”

It's good to buy something as a gift, but if you implicitly increase the price for the sake of a giveaway, it's a little uneconomical.

"Because I want to make a new deal, if I really buy this place, I have to clean up the shop again, and it will be a lot of money...... Shen Yuechen's tone deliberately became hesitant. That's it, Boss Guan, I'm really satisfied with your shop, so let me go back and discuss it with my family, and then tell you a quasi-child letter. ”

Zhu Jintang is still very discerning and chose this place. Shen Yuechen was also very satisfied, but in terms of price, she still had to discuss with him.

When Guan Siye heard this, he naturally nodded in agreement. In fact, what he hoped more in his heart was that Zhu Jintang could come to see the shop with her.

The reason why he is willing to be so happy is mostly because of Zhu Jintang's face, if it is replaced by someone else, let alone a thousand taels, even if it is two thousand taels, he will come out.

After Shen Yuechen saw the shop, he went to the pastry shop in the south of the city, bought some snacks that the old lady and his wife liked to eat, and hurriedly rushed back to Zhu's house.

When she came back to ask for peace, the old lady asked her how she was doing, and she could only lie to deal with it, but fortunately, the old lady didn't ask much, and saw that she had bought back a snack, so she ordered someone to make tea and drink tea with Li Shi and eat a snack.

When Zhu Jintang came back, it was already late at night.

However, Shen Yuechen had been waiting for him, and only coaxed the children to drink tea and talk with him.

Zhu Jintang heard that Guan Siye asked for a price of one thousand taels, and said with a faint smile: "This price is fair to him." ”

Shen Yuechen nodded: "The concubine body also thinks so." For such a big store, 1,000 taels is not much, but after all, this is not a small amount. ”

Zhu Jintang listened, looked at her and said, "Silver is a trivial matter. If you really like it, it's not hard to buy it. However, we have to ask the elders in advance. ”

If it's a small business, it doesn't matter if you say it or not. It was only one thousand taels at the beginning, this is not a small amount that can be excused casually, once it is allocated, the account office will definitely tell the old man and father as soon as possible.
