When Cheng Qingwan entered the house with the pastries, the four princes had already left, she put the pastries on the table and coaxed the woman for a while.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Hua'er's illness became serious the next day, and he vomited blood early in the morning.

After consulting a miracle doctor, I found out that I was depressed and the old disease recurred.

Cheng Qingwan stayed at home and concentrated on taking care of the woman, and it took more than half a month to get better, and she had time to take Song Qiaoqiao and Lian Zhi to the town to see the shop.

The three of them stood outside the first shop written in the notebook, looked at the two-story shop, and walked in to ask the price.

"Shopkeeper ......"

"Girls, this store is no longer open, there is nothing to sell in it, you can go to other stores." The shopkeeper said as he cleaned up his things.

"We're not here to buy anything, we're here to ask if this store can be subleased."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and looked a few people up and down: "Don't tease me, a few girls, seeing that you are not very old, I am afraid that you will not be able to be the master of such a big matter, so let your adults talk about it." ”

Cheng Qingwan lowered her head and smiled, and then said: "Shopkeeper, don't worry, we still do this thing, and we won't play with you." ”

"Oh, girls. When I rented this shop, it cost 100 taels of silver a year, and now there is more than a year left, even if it is sold cheaply, I have to sell it for 80 or 90 taels of silver. I see that you are young and do not dress well, but you can't even get so much silver at home. The shopkeeper carried a chair and said, "Let's go to another house to play, I'm very busy." ”

Cheng Qingwan lowered her head and glanced at her clothes, half-used thin cotton clothes, which were not very bad.

She gave Lianzhi a look, and then a purse containing a hundred taels of silver was placed on the table in front of her.

"Shopkeeper, would you please think about it?"

The shopkeeper looked at the silver on the table, looked at the three of them again, and then said hesitantly: "Okay, since you want it, then visit it first, and then it's not too late to make a decision." ”

Cheng Qingwan nodded with a smile and followed the shopkeeper all the way in.

The shop is small and has a counter and display table. Behind the curtain is a small kitchen, and next to it are two chicken coops.

On the east side of the second floor, there is a private room, and on the west side is where the shopkeeper lives.

There is a high probability that the second floor of the pastry shop will not be used, so Cheng Qingwan thought about changing it to a room.

"There are two rooms and two boxes upstairs, which should be enough for you little girls." The shopkeeper said while showing them around: "In the town, it is already very cost-effective to rent such a shop for a hundred taels of silver, if it weren't for my son giving birth to a big fat grandson two days ago, let me go back quickly, I wouldn't have made a move." ”

Cheng Qingwan nodded and said, "It looks good, what did you drive before?" ”

"Before, I specialized in selling hairpins and jewelry for girls." The shopkeeper smiled and took the hairpin that had not yet been packed and handed it to her: "I have a few rich businessmen and wives who often come here, and the box upstairs is specially prepared for them." ”

Cheng Qingwan glanced at the hairpin in her hand, and it was indeed well-made: "Shopkeeper, what is the price in your heart?" ”

"You little girls are also young, and I am not embarrassed for you, eighty taels of silver a year, I'll go and say it to the owner."

Cheng Qingwan glanced at Lianzhi, looked at her and nodded, and responded with a smile.

A few people walked downstairs and couldn't help but be stunned when they looked at the cyan back standing outside the door.

Cheng Qingwan walked over quickly, raised her head and asked, "Why are you here, the divine doctor agreed to let you go out?" ”

Yuan Qi turned his head and touched her head with a smile: "I'm injured, of course he agreed to let me go out." ”

The shopkeeper squinted, looked not very carefully, and took two steps forward, until he recognized this person, and clapped his hands: "Ouch, Lord Yuan." ”

"Shopkeeper Zhou?" Yuanqi looked at him and thought for a while, then stepped forward to say hello: "Your jewelry shop has a decent income, why don't you open it?" ”

"Hey, my daughter-in-law has given birth to a son, I have to hurry back to my hometown to hug my eldest grandson."

The enthusiasm of Yuanqi and Zhou's shopkeeper, Cheng Qingwan was a little dazed, standing in place and looking at them.

"This is the shopkeeper of Zhou, and the hairpins he sells are all made by his daughters, and the quality and styles are very good." Yuan Qi introduced with a smile while holding the hand of the person next to him.

Shopkeeper Zhou understood her identity when he saw it, and he didn't ask more, but he was more detailed when he introduced this shop.

They talked all afternoon, and they were scheduled to meet with the owner the morning after tomorrow. When he was about to go out, the shopkeeper Zhou also gave three people a hairpin.

This person is very sophisticated.

Cheng Qingwan sat in the carriage and played with the tight butterfly hairpin: "Why is the shopkeeper so enthusiastic about you this week?" ”

"When this pavilion chief was not in office, I came to pay taxes in the town, and I had a deal."

Cheng Qingwan nodded, looked at the furniture needed on the notebook, and thoughtfully: "I have to go to the cloth shop and buy two suitable cloths." ”

Yuanqi glanced at her half-worn cotton clothes, and then asked Ah Zhu to go to the cloth shop.

Song Qiaoqiao and the others sat in the carriage behind, and when they got off the car, they looked at the cloth shop in front of them, looking confused.

"Wanwan, what are we doing here?"

"Buy two decent pieces of cloth and let A-Niang make clothes for us, so that we can wear them when we open."

Song Qiaoqiao remembered what the shopkeeper said just now, so she didn't refute it and walked in.

As soon as the proprietress of the shop saw that it was a regular customer, she immediately greeted her.

"The three girls are here again, what kind of fabric do you want to buy this time?"

"It's going to hold up the scene."

When the proprietress heard this, she took the person to another area and introduced with a smile: "Although these fabrics are not as good as a dozen taels of silver a horse, they can definitely hold up the scene, and the price is not expensive, three taels of silver a horse." ”

Cheng Qingwan touched the fabric, and it was much more comfortable than the ones she bought before.

She looked at these fabrics, and when she was struggling with which color was good, the proprietress had already come to Yuanqi's side, looked at the clothes on his body, and said with a smile.

"This guest is wearing a good Shu brocade, what fabric do you want, I have this Shu brocade and Yun brocade."

Yuan Qi swept around, and then shook his head: "You don't have what I want." ”

"Ouch, just tell me what you want, and I'll get it for you if I can." The proprietress finally saw such a big customer, so she naturally blew the cowhide to the front.

"I want two floating brocades."

When the proprietress heard this, she was stunned for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "Don't embarrass me this son, this feudal country only pays two tributes a year, where can I get it." ”

Cheng Qingwan listened to the words here, and asked softly, "Do you want Fuguangjin to make clothes?" ”

"Yes, sort of." Yuan Qi smiled on her face, looked at the cloth in her hand, and said differently: "Dark blue? ”

"Yes, this color looks mature, and you can't make the guests think it's a group of little girls messing around."

"Actually, I don't think you can get out of the kitchen."

Cheng Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted: "Yes, then let my aunt and Aunt Liu support me outside." ”

She looked at the cloth in her hand, thought for a while, and decided to buy it.

Subsequently, the three of them picked several different colors of cloth.

Cheng Qingwan stood in front of the counter, staring at a piece of red cloth for a long time before she asked for this piece of cloth.

She took a piece of inky black cloth and handed it to Yuanqi.

"For me?"

"Yes, you and Lian Song are one and the same, you are attached." Cheng Qingwan said while paying.

The proprietress looked at this girl, and really wanted to remind her that this man would not take a fancy to such a piece of fabric as you!

Yuan Qi smiled very happily, looked at the person in front of him, and said dotingly: "Okay." ”

After buying the cloth, it was already late, and everyone hurried into the carriage and went home.

By the time we arrived at Songjia Village, it was already dark.

Cheng Qingwan pulled Yuanqi in for dinner, and then the two studied the tomatoes that were about to ripen in the backyard.

She picked two red tomatoes and handed them to the person in front of her: "It's ripe, you can taste it." ”

Yuan Qi took it, wiped it casually, and took a bite.

Suddenly, the full juice burst out, and Tsing Yi was stained with red.

Cheng Qingwan looked at his face and was still dripping with water, burst out laughing, and wiped him with a handkerchief.

"Laughing at what?"

"I've never seen Lord Yuan so embarrassed, but it's quite cute." Cheng Qingwan raised her eyebrows and wiped the juice off his chest.

Cheng Hua'er looked at this scene and smiled, turned around and went into the house to start making clothes, and when she was almost finished, Yuan Qi went home slowly.

After Cheng Qingwan sent the person away, she came to the woman's side and said with a smile: "A-Niang, our shop is almost over, do you say we are recruiting a shopkeeper, or do we do it ourselves?" ”

"Although we are not short of money, it is not easy to find a suitable person for a while, so let's do it ourselves."

"Then please A-Niang and Aunt Liu." Cheng Qingwan looked at the confused state of the two, and said with a smile: "Qiaoqiao and I have to make pastries in the kitchen, Lian Song is young, Lian Zhi is responsible for settling accounts, and the rest is just you and Aunt Liu." ”

Cheng Hua'er immediately realized it, and nodded her head with a smile: "You have already thought about it, give me a set." ”

"Auntie, don't poke me." Cheng Qingwan explained with a smile: "When I went to see the shop today, the shopkeeper almost thought that he was too young and rejected us. And when the guests looked at the teenage girl, they were afraid that they would think they were messing around, so they could only bother A-Niang and Aunt Liu to sit in charge. ”

"You've thought so well, of course I agreed."

Cheng Qingwan smiled at Aunt Liu's face and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I will give you 50 yuan a day for your and Qiaoqiao's wages." ”

"No, no, you have taken good care of our mother and daughter, I can't ask for this money." Aunt Liu hurriedly said.

"Auntie, when you open a store, you have to calculate all the accounts clearly. Our family is paid 50 yuan a day, so that the accounts in the store will not be messed up. ”

"This ......"

"You should do it, Qiaoqiao also needs some spare money to buy jewelry."
