Chapter 53: The Storefront

Thinking of this, Mu Qingqing blamed herself a little, she couldn't ignore Zhou Liuyun's feelings because of her career, Mu Qingqing clenched her fists tightly, one day, she would make the store bigger, so that her mother would no longer be lonely.

After Mu Qingqing finished eating, she pressed the five hundred taels of silver ticket under her pillow, and the matter of opening the shop could not be revealed to Zhou Liuyun, she couldn't explain how the five hundred taels of silver came from.

On the second day, early in the morning, Mu Qingqing got up, put the silver ticket in her arms, and went to the place that Weng Feiran told her yesterday.

The West Street in the capital is not very prosperous, but it is also closer to the center of the city than Xiangfang. Mu Qingqing also learned about the housing prices in the capital, those bustling street markets, renting for a month or two can cost two hundred taels of silver, which she can't think of at present.

West Street is not big, but there are two or three empty shops, Mu Qingqing found a sunny place and went in to have a look.

Originally, this shop was for buying and selling pastries, and the person sitting in it was a lady with a gentle personality.

Seeing the eldest lady, Mu Qingqing smiled at her, "Auntie, your store looks good, why are you selling it?" ”

The eldest lady saw that the person who came was a little girl, and she also smiled at her, and then said slowly, "My wife, I am old, my son can't see me working so hard, and said that he wants me to go to Jiangnan to enjoy happiness, I can't resist my son's will, so I can only sell this store out, little girl, are you here to buy pastries, I'm really sorry, the store is about to close." ”

Hearing this, Mu Qingqing hurriedly shook her head, "No, Auntie, I'm here to buy a store." ”

The eldest lady looked Mu Qingqing up and down, and couldn't help frowning, "Little girl, you're not joking, are you?" ”

Mu Qingqing was wearing the moon-white clothes sewn by Zhou Liuyun herself, but she looked a little extravagant, but the eldest mother had lived for so long, and she had never seen a little girl come out to buy a store.

"Auntie, I really want to buy your store, what do you say?" Mu Qingqing continued to speak.

Seeing that Mu Qingqing really came to buy the store, the eldest lady was also a little more colorful, and took Mu Qingqing to visit the store, in addition to the front hall, there is also a backyard, the backyard is facing the sun, and there are five empty rooms, Mu Qingqing looked back and forth, but it was enough for her to use.

"Little girl, this house was newly renovated last year, if you sincerely ask for four hundred taels of silver, how about it?" The eldest lady is also kind-hearted, stretched out four fingers, and asked Mu Qingqing.

This price is indeed not expensive, Mu Qingqing readily agreed, took out four hundred taels of silver tickets, and exchanged land deeds with the eldest lady.

The eldest lady wants to pack up the things inside, and tomorrow morning, she will be able to hand over the house, Mu Qingqing carefully put the title deed into the newly embroidered purse, and went to the incense shop non-stop.

When he arrived at Xiangfang, he saw a carriage, and Mu Qingqing happened to see Bai Zhangshi coming out with his luggage, as if he was going to get into the carriage.

"Shopkeeper, where are you going?" Mu Qingqing hurriedly stepped forward and stopped the carriage.

As soon as Bai Zhangshi looked up, he saw that it was Mu Qingqing, and a bitter smile appeared on his face, "I'm going back to the countryside." ”

Bai Zhangshi looked bitter, and overnight, he aged a lot.

He also had ideals and ambitions, wanting to break out of the world in the capital, but he never thought that his career had just started, and he was hit hard, and they offended this time, but the powerful people in Beijing, the store was closed, where can they realize their ambitions?

"Shopkeeper, just go back like this, are you really willing?" Mu Qingqing stopped the carriage and asked loudly.

Hearing this, Bai Zhangshi smiled helplessly, "How is it willing?" What can I do if I am unwilling, I can only do this in this life..."

Mu Qingqing frowned, and took out the title deed, "Shopkeeper, this matter is all because of me in the final analysis, if you insist on going back, I will never forgive myself in this life, it is better to give me a chance, I promise you that within half a year, I will definitely make your name resound all over the country!" ”

Bai Zhangshi looked up at the title deed in Mu Qingqing's hand, and his expression was suddenly shocked, "Qingqing, where did this title deed come from?" ”

I have to say that Mu Qingqing has too many surprises, Bai Zhangshi has been selling spices in the capital for more than ten years, and he has not been able to buy a piece of land in Beijing, not because he can't afford it, but because, without a household registration in Beijing, it is impossible to buy a piece of land.

Mu Qingqing didn't know what was going on here, frowned and looked at Bai Zhangshi, and asked softly, "Shopkeeper, I wonder if you can appreciate your face and stay and help me run it?" ”

Looking at the title deed in her hand, Bai Zhangshi clenched his fists tightly, yes, he has been in the capital for half his life, when he left his hometown, he swore that he would definitely glorify his ancestors, and if he went back with such a disgraced face, wouldn't he lose the face of his ancestors?

Thinking of this, Bai Zhangshi nodded, his expression a little more determined, "Qingqing, thank you, I will definitely not let you down." ”

Seeing that he agreed to stay, Mu Qingqing was finally a lot more relieved, she looked around, and asked Bai Zhangshi again, "Zhangshi, what about Chunniang and Caizhu?" ”

Hearing this, Bai Zhangshi frowned, Xiangfang had such a big thing, and he couldn't shelter them, yesterday he gave Chun Niang a few people a large sum of silver, presumably at this time, Chun Niang and they had already returned to their hometown.

Bai Zhangshi was silent, and Mu Qingqing also understood something from his expression.

Just when the two of them were lost, the voice of Caizhu suddenly sounded behind them, "Shopkeeper, Qingqing, you are also here." ”

Hearing this voice, Mu Qingqing turned his head violently, only to see Caizhu and Chun Niang supporting Pu Sheng from left to right, walking here.

"Why are you coming back again, didn't I say that the incense shop can't be opened anymore?" Seeing the person coming, Bai Zhangshi asked a little anxiously.

Caizhu pouted, "Shopkeeper, you have treated us well all these years, haven't you been sealed, we will wait for the day when the seal will be lifted, and when the time comes, Xiangfang will be able to continue to operate." ”

Caizhu's naΓ―ve words made Bai Zhangshi cry.

As the saying goes, men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place, and the old man looks at the few people in front of him with tears, and his heart is very uncomfortable.

Chun Niang patted him on the shoulder and glanced at Caizhu again, "The seal will not be unsealed, but, the shopkeeper, where you go in the future, we will follow you, the government just sealed our store, and didn't say that we wouldn't let us go elsewhere to operate." ”

"Chun Niang, Cai Zhu, and Pu Sheng, Qingqing bought a store on West Street, and I have decided to help her run it." Bai Zhangshi glanced at Mu Qingqing, and officially said to the three of them.

Hearing this, Chun Niang's eyes were shocked, and she looked at Mu Qingqing, "Qingqing, is what the shopkeeper said true?" ”

She couldn't believe how Mu Qingqing did it!

Mu Qingqing scratched his head and asked innocently, "Is it difficult to buy a storefront?" ”
