Originally, in Lin Xi's plan, she had to spend at least half a month to screen each shop before deciding on a suitable one.

After all, whether you buy a shop or rent a shop, it's not something that can be done with a hot head. If there is a problem with the shop itself, wouldn't she lose a lot?

signaled that Lin Xi planned to take the time to understand the situation of each shop before making a decision.

Now that there is official news from Shen Chen, it directly eliminated her worries and saved her a lot of time.

The next day, Lin Xi went straight to the county early in the morning, and first went to the rouge shop in her first photo.

It was early when she went, but there were still people in the shop.

Lin Xi saw a carriage parked outside the shop, and two guys kept going in and out, moving the things in the shop into the carriage.

As she approached, she saw a woman directing her at the counter, warning her not to drop something.

Lin Xi didn't go in for the first time, but looked at the situation of the shop.

There is only one floor, 30 square meters, and the layout and lighting in the store are very good.

At this time, the woman inside turned around and noticed Lin Xi.

She hesitated, then turned and walked out, "This girl, are you here to buy rouge?" I'm sorry, but I haven't had a fashionable rouge in my store for a long time. If you don't mind the old days, come in and have a look. If you want to buy more, I'll sell you at half price. ”

When Lin Xi heard this, he entered the store and said, "Boss, you sell me at half price, aren't you afraid of losing money?" ”

"Hey, there's nothing to lose at this time."

The proprietress is about the same height as Lin Xi, and her eyebrows and eyes are beautiful and heroic, and she is very generous in her gestures.

She pointed to the carriage at the door and said, "Don't hide it, my family is going to move to the north, and it is a bit troublesome to bring these goods, so it is better to sell them with all the favors." ”

"The hostess is really real."

Lin Xi walked to the counter and looked at the rouge that was still visiting above.

Seeing this, the proprietress approached and familiarly introduced Lin Xi to the color.

Lin Xi listened carefully and said, "I don't know what you call the boss?" ”

The proprietress smiled, "The girl calls me Shengyingniang." ”

Lin Xi turned to look at the door and said casually: "You see that you are not a few years old with me, so I will call you Sister Shengyingniang." Sister Yingniang, you look like a bold person who can do business, this shop has been open in the county for a long time, why is it suddenly leaving? ”

Ying Niang looked at Lin Xi and asked Lin Xi to sit down on the side.

While directing the men to move things in a hurry, she said to Lin Xi: "It's not that business is actually very difficult to do at this age. My husband's family had found some good business in the north, and they had some connections there, so they were going to try it. In the final analysis, it's just trying to find a future in this world. ”

When the words fell, Ying Niang poured a cup of tea for Lin Xi.

"Girl, you and I don't talk darkly, you are actually here to talk about the shop."

Lin Xi bowed his head and said bluntly: "I also want to do some business, and I am choosing a suitable shop, so I came to ask about the situation." ”

Ying Niang asked, "How much is the girl ready to bid?" ”

Lin Xi stopped again when he spoke.

She looked at the finished rouge products on the counters in the shop, and suddenly asked, "If you take those rouges together, what kind of price can you accept, Sister Yingniang?" ”

Ying Niang was surprised: "Girl, you can think about it." These rouges are outdated, and not many can be sold. ”

Lin Xi said: "I think about it. ”

Ying Niang squinted her eyes slightly at Lin Xi, and after a while, she smiled slightly: "That's one thousand three hundred taels." ”

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, "You only have this shop, and the price listed is more than that, right?" ”

Ying Niang smiled heartily, "Girl, you really came here after finding out." In fact, 1,500 taels can be negotiated from afar, and it doesn't hurt to be lower. As for the rouge in the store, the total price of the stock is three hundred taels. But they're all outdated, and it's not just a matter of what I'm saying if they're worthless. ”

"Then why ......"

Lin Xi hesitated.

Yingniang drank saliva and said indifferently: "I am also a daughter, and I know that it is not easy for women to do business." Girl, you don't look big, and you must not have much money. is also a woman, so if you can help, you can help. ”

Lin Xi was a little touched in his heart, and said: "No wonder Sister Yingniang, you opened a shop at a young age, you are really a good person and a good person." ”

Yingniang smiled: "Don't hide it from the girl, my Yingniang is actually over thirty, and she is not young." Okay, look girl, you don't have any money with you today, my family won't leave the county until three days later, and the girl can come if she thinks about it. ”

Lin Xi got up, bowed his hand to her, and then left the shop.

Not long after she left, a carriage stopped outside the shop, and a man got out of the carriage and went straight into it.

"Yingniang."

Yingniang, who was sorting things out in front of the counter, looked up, saw the man, and said with a smile: "Why are you here?" You are not in good health, and you are suffering from the wind and cold, so you should have a good rest at home these days. ”

The man was dressed extraordinarily, his face was like jade, and his body was thin, but his face was slightly pale and sickly.

He approached Yingniang and said softly: "You are not here, I can't calm down at home alone." ”

After the man finished speaking, he held Yingniang's hand, and found that her palms were cold, so he hurriedly took off the cloak on his body, draped it on her, and said to himself: "It's all because my body is useless, and I can't do things with you, so you are tired and work hard every day." ”

"What are these words, I do this because I am willing."

Ying Niang felt sorry for the man's cold, but she couldn't shirk the cloak, so she had to pull him to sit down and pour him a cup of hot tea.

The man saw that there was another teacup and said, "Has anyone been here?" Are you here to see the shop? ”

Yingniang nodded, "It's a little girl." Sharp-toothed and very good at talking. Somehow, I thought she was a good fit, so I kept the rent down. ”

The man said softly, "You can do whatever you want." It's just that I have wronged you, and when I return to the clan land, I will no longer be as free as here. ”

Ying Niang sighed: "This is secondary. You and I still don't know anything about my aunt's whereabouts. When I went back, I really didn't know how to explain it to my grandmother. She was known to be old, and her only wish was to see her aunt again before she died. ”

The man sighed and said, "I have received a letter from my brother, they have settled in the capital, and they have successfully entered the court as officials, saying that there were traces of my aunt in the capital fifteen years ago. I hope they can gain something, brother. ”

"I hope so." Ying Niang said.

The man said: "My brother has always been steady, and he will not make mistakes." But without my brother here, you and I have returned to the clan land, but I am afraid that my father will ask me to take the position of the patriarch. ”

Ying Niang asked unexpectedly: "Don't you want to?" ”

"It's not." The man shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I just don't want to go back to Yanmen Pass." I feel guilty about it. ”
