Hualan County is richer than Xujiang County, although the art of the road is often in Xujiang County all the year round, but it also has its own industry in Hualan County, just like Chayuelou.

So when Tang Tang'er and Liu Erqiao arrived in Hualan County, Lu Zhishu had already let people pick her up in advance.

The shopkeeper of Hualan County is surnamed Song, and he learned from the mouth of Lu Zhishu that it was a female proprietor, and asked him to take people over, just this single point to know how much importance Lu Zhishu attaches to.

Shopkeeper Song specially asked for a few local specialties from the restaurant and sent them to her private room, and the service was very thoughtful.

Tang Tang'er was indeed a little hungry, and she was not polite, so she beckoned Liu Erqiao to eat together.

"Mother, the Lu Dong family seems to value you very much." Liu Erqiao can see that Lu Zhishu's treatment of others and Tang Tang'er is very different.

Tang Tang'er could also see it, and she chuckled, "It's not because I have what he wants." ”

"What do you want?" Liu Erqiao looked at her in confusion, and then his heart was shocked, no, no, no! Could it be that the owner of the road wants to be her stepfather?

Seeing Liu Erqiao's uncontrollable look of sincere fear, Tang Tang'er couldn't help but knock her on the head, "If you have that kung fu and want to think about it, it's better to think about where the shop is!" ”

"I've thought about it, mother!" Liu Erqiao grinned, she didn't do any homework, this street is called Huayue Lane, most of them are women's costume jewelry, Liu Erqiao's favorite is here.

"Where's Flower Moon Lane! There are a lot of people coming and going every day, as long as we do a good job in the early stage of activities, we can attract a lot of customers by doing some free activities! Liu Erqiao said with great interest.

Tang Tang'er didn't express any opinions, and finally Liu Erqiao was willing to try it himself, and Tang Tang'er was a little pleased.

"Mother! The daughter always felt that the Lu Dong family was a little ill-intentioned. Liu Erqiao really didn't hold back, he came here to follow Tang Tang'er and received excellent treatment, and Lu Zhishu also had to rush over from Xujiang County to get the matter at hand, mainly to bring Tang Tang'er to the venue together.

Obviously, Tang Tang'er can do things by himself, but the art of the road is so hands-on, it's not simple.

Tang Tang'er narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Since there is a relationship of interest, I will be so concerned." ”

Liu Erqiao doubted herself, what did she mean just now?

"Mother, I mean, Lu Dong's family is ......"

"What's wrong with me?" Lu Zhishu pushed the door in with a smile, glanced at the dishes on the table, and patted the shoulder of the shopkeeper Song with a folding fan with satisfaction, "Good job, go down!" ”

Seeing that the shopkeeper Song was satisfied with the art of the road, he hurriedly went down with a smile.

Lu Zhishu found a place to sit down by himself, and then said, "What did the second girl say about me just now?" ”

"No, it's just that the Lu Dong family personally came to lead us over, and we are really grateful." Liu Erqiao has grown up very fast, and she is much more confident when she treats others, especially after coming into contact with Gao Yin, she secretly competes in her heart, and wants Tang Tang'er to know that her daughter is not bad.

Lu Zhishu waved his hand, "These are all trivial matters, the main thing is that I will also see if there is any chance." ”

Lu Zhishu looked at Tang Tang'er, and saw if Tang Tang'er had any business for him, and followed Tang Tang'er to have meat to eat.

Tang Tang'er didn't want to go in vain, but she didn't have great hopes, after all, if the whole street was bought, the price would still be a bit difficult for Tang Tang'er.

Tang Tang'er has bought a lot of gold, silver and jewelry these days, mainly because she wants to slowly save dowries for the little ones, Tang Tang'er is not favoritism, Tang Chen'an and the four little vegetables have one each, and even Tang Tang'er's share of the big cow is also prepared.

I really don't know if the silver on hand is enough, so Lu Zhishu came over and intervened, and she was quite happy to let him go to the road.

"What do you think of Hualan County?" Lu Zhishu asked sincerely.

"It's not what I imagined." Tang Tang'er shook her head.

"What's the difference?" Lu Zhishu was very curious about what Tang Tang'er would say.

"There are obviously few merchants, and most of them are marked with several surnames, there should be a few big families here!" Tang Tang'er only sat in the carriage and took a cursory look, almost all of them were Zhou, Ji, Xue, Luan, four surnames, and a few Zhang, Liu, Meng Zhi and the like.

Lu Zhishu nodded, "That's true! The rich gentry who fell before plus the four big families can be said to be the five giants of Hualan County, and basically all the merchants' businesses are taken over by them. ”

"The rich gentleman who fell before?" Tang Tang'er asked.

Lu Zhishu felt that there was nothing that could not be said, let alone to Tang Tang'er, "That rich gentleman surnamed Ma has a prince's backing." ”

"That's strange, with the support of the prince, can you still be pulled off the horse?" Tang Tang'er continued to ask, "But what's the secret?" ”

"It is not necessarily foolproof to have the support of the prince, that is, the third prince told His Majesty that the Ma family sold illegal salt, and His Majesty was angry and confiscated the family property and pressed into prison, and it is estimated that after a while, even the nine clans will be clicked." Lu Zhishu observed Tang Tang'er's reaction, and in his impression, Tang Tang'er should have a good relationship with the third prince, would he not know about this? Lu Zhishu was a little suspicious that Tang Tang'er asked on purpose, but he didn't have any evidence, and he couldn't tell anything from her face.

"Selling illicit salt! That's really a big crime, I don't know, which prince is the one who backs the Ma family. Tang Tang'er asked directly.

Lu Zhishu just took a sip of tea and almost squirted out, he coughed slightly, "It's the same as before!" "To say it is to say nothing.

Tang Tang'er didn't continue to ask, "Then it stands to reason that the Ma family has fallen, and the only people from the other four families who are most likely to buy his properties are the others, are you sure you can get it?" ”

"You don't believe me?" Lu Zhishu cut off, "I don't want to grow here, otherwise there is a plaque of my Lu family on this street." ”

"You're amazing!" Tang Tang'er gave a thumbs up, and then stood up.

I've eaten the meal, I've rested enough, and it's time to go over and take a look, "Lu Dongjia, take us to that whole street to have a look!" ”

You have to look at the place to decide whether to buy it or not! There is also Huayue Lane, where Liu Erqiao will also want to take a look, the time is still early, and there is no delay in going to see it.

"Let's go!" Lu Zhishu immediately got up.

Everyone got on the carriage and went straight to the whole street, which was originally called Zhou Ji, selling everything, things and miscellaneous things, and there were a lot of people coming and going on weekdays, but now it is deserted, the door is closed, and the things inside have not been cleared away, and it looks good from the outside, and the inside is not clear, but the overall pattern is good.
