The two walked out of the pawnshop, and Fang Ju was a little dissatisfied: "Brother Gu, everyone has given forty taels of silver, why don't you sell it?" ”

Gu Shengchao said unhurriedly: "Looking at their eyes, this bracelet is worth a lot of money, so let's go back and change into clothes first, and according to the method I explained to you, it will definitely be sold for a big price." ”

On the way back, Gu Shengchao settled down the matters that needed attention next time, returned to the residence and asked Fang Ju to change into Yang Qianhui's most expensive dress, and wear all the valuable jewelry, and then went out again to find a pawnshop that looked powerful.

"Shopkeeper, how much can this bracelet cost?" Fang Ju quietly handed over a delicate small wooden box.

The person inside carefully opened the wooden box, picked up the jade bracelet and looked at it carefully: "This is your dowry?" The man was also expressionless, but his eyes were sharp.

Fang Ju calmed down and said: "Ancestral heirlooms, if it weren't for the middle of the family, I would be reluctant." ”

After the two people inside whispered in a low voice, one left, and the other said: "Wait a minute, the two of us are clumsy, please come and evaluate it again." Not long after, an elder came to the back of the counter with the help of someone, and a thick cotton cushion was placed on the table, so he picked up the jade bracelet and looked at it, and for a long time, he secretly stretched out two fingers to his peers and left. The man inside said calmly: "Two hundred taels of silver, what does this lady think?" ”

Fang Juqiang held back the ecstasy in his heart, pretending to think, Gu Shengchao stepped forward and said: "Miss, don't be it first, this is the ancestral treasure of the old man, you can't take the jewelry on your body as an emergency first, this bracelet will slow down and then make plans." ”

"Alright then, I'll talk about it later." Fang Ju was reluctant to take back the bracelet.

The person inside was not verbose, packed the jade bracelet and handed it out: "Come here to be a thing and wait for money, my store may be able to give more, the small shop outside will definitely not be able to afford this price, I advise you to discuss it again." ”

Gu Shengchao and Fang Ju didn't expect that people wouldn't give them a chance to bargain at all, and the method of practicing at home was not useful, so they had to agree, Gu Shengchao came out with a money bag, Fang Ju was so happy that he jumped on the way back. Gu Shengchao advised: "Be careful, don't lose your young lady's valuable jewelry." Fang Ju hurriedly checked and confirmed that they were all walking back honestly, not daring to jump again.

After Yang Qianhui came back, Fang Ju told the truth, Yang Qianhui disagreed at first, Fang Ju said: "We have been in the capital for almost four months, I don't know if the young lady found out, it is much happier than us in the palace, I often think about how beautiful it would be to stay in the capital all the time!" But we don't have so much silver, and we have to go back in the end, is Miss willing to go back to that oppressive palace? ”

Yang Qianhui shook her head: "I also feel comfortable here." ”

Fang Jule was happy: "That's not right, I discussed it with Brother Gu, he took out all the remuneration, plus my money and the silver from selling the bracelet, it is more than enough for us to open a noodle restaurant, and if we can earn money, we can stay here for a long time, isn't it the best?" ”

"Can you do it?" Yang Qianhui was skeptical.

Gu Shengchao encouraged: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you take the first step, the rest is easy to say, if you don't give it a try, you will never know how much potential you have." Just like if you don't go out of the palace, you will never see the prosperity and splendor of the capital. ”

Yang Qianhui had no choice but to agree, and in the next few days, Gu Shengchao and Fang Ju seized the time to find a suitable shop, and the emperor finally found a shop for rent not far from Yunqi Palace, and the two immediately rented it and cleaned up the Yang family noodle restaurant a little.

Although the noodle restaurant mainly serves noodles, it also sells several dishes that Fang Ju specializes in, such as stewed pork with three fresh, bad pork, and scrambled eggs with shallots, which are convenient for drinkers to serve as snacks. They were two people at the beginning, Fang Ju was busy in the back kitchen, and Gu Shengchao collected money and kept accounts in front of him as a buddy serving tea and water. I thought that the business was not very good at first, but after a few days of desertion, it suddenly became popular, Gu Shengchao specially asked a few people, and they all said that they had heard that their noodles were authentic and the stir-fried dishes had a unique taste, and they came to try it. Since then, it has been out of control, and there is an endless stream of diners, so I have no choice but to hire another kitchen to reduce the burden on Fang Ju.

Yang Qianhui went straight to the noodle restaurant every day when he came out of Yunqi Palace, doing what he could, and waited for the last group of diners to leave, and then returned to his residence to explain what Yang Qianhui had learned that day, and studied and practiced together, although it was hard, but also enjoyable.

After a month, the profit was actually considerable, far beyond what was expected, and the three of them were very happy, and it would not be a problem to gain a firm foothold in the capital if they continued like this.

During the period, the dean of Yunqi Palace, Lao Shui Linglong, who taught Yang Qianhui's kung fu, also came to visit the noodle restaurant once, she and Yang Qianhui are about the same age, but they are more mature and stable than Yang Qianhui, and their facial features are not outstanding when they are seen alone, I don't know why they are combined to give people a refreshing feeling. Although it is not as gentle as Liu Ximei, not as atmospheric as Wan Ruo, and not as delicate as Ding Ying, the agility in the water is more memorable.

Shui Linglong ate a plate of fried stew and praised Fang Ju's craftsmanship, praising the deep friendship between their master and servant, especially Fang Ju and Gu Shengchao's willingness to sacrifice for Yang Qianhui's studies, and Yang Qianhui's sacrifice for Yang Qianhui's studies, Yang Qianhui's giving up a privileged life and enduring hardships and standing hard work to come to the capital to practice martial arts, all of which made her admire. She looked at Gu Shengchao and said with concern: "Can you understand that "Explanation of the Formula", if there is something you don't understand, you can ask Qianhui to ask me, I like studious people to answer questions." ”

Gu Shengchao was of course happy, and said politely: "Thank you Elder Shui for your care, although some difficulties can be understood at present, if necessary, disturb Elder Shui." ”

Shui Linglong had to pay for the meal, but everyone refused, saying that it was too late to honor the master, and there was no reason to ask for money, and Shui Linglong finally couldn't help everyone to leave. Gu Shengchao looked at her back and sighed with emotion, another reason why he came here was for Jiang Wan and them, he was deceived and displaced by his uncle, how to have a good relationship with Shui Linglong is also a top priority, so that he can use his strength to suppress Bai Pei'an and find ways to give Jiang Wan and them justice.

Yang Qianhui was encouraged, and her practice was even more diligent, and sometimes in the second half of the night, she remembered a move and a half to wake up Gu Shengchao to accompany her to practice, looking for skills to deal with the enemy, and make up for her own shortcomings.

The noodle restaurant business is gradually on the right track, and there are more repeat customers, and Gu Shengchao is familiar with each other, sometimes making jokes and gags, and talking and laughing makes the restaurant full of joy.

Yang Qianhui and Fang Ju wanted to go back to practice quickly, so they said to the diners that they had something to do and go back early, and asked if there were any dishes that needed to be prepared, one of the tables said to mix a big cold dish, and the other table asked for a stewed pork and three bowls of noodles, Fang Ju was ready to go out and go back with Yang Qianhui, Gu Shengchao and the kitchen stayed to take care of it. The residence is not far from here, and the two of them have long been different from that day after hard practice, and they can completely protect themselves when they encounter ordinary bandits.

The two tables of diners drank wine, one of them drank almost paid and left, and the other table drank so much that they pushed the glass and changed the cup to drink all the wine in the noodle restaurant. The noodle restaurant does not prepare much wine every day, and has gone to the restaurant to borrow wine many times, Gu Shengchao walked into the restaurant and found that among the diners at the table by the window, there was actually Bai Pei'an, the head of Yunqi Palace, but the other party was drinking freely and he naturally wouldn't pay attention if he didn't know him.

Gu Shengchao approached the counter and didn't speak, but the guy inside smiled and said, "It's good business today, but the wine is not enough." ”

"A small business earns some pocket money, how can you make money in your restaurant." Gu Shengchao joked with a smile.

The guy brought a jar of wine and handed it to Gu Shengchao, he took the jar and walked out, and suddenly heard Bai Pei'an lower his voice and said: "The water girl wants to cut off our financial route, let her ...... tonight" Gu Shengchao glanced over, and saw Bai Pei'an made a chopping motion with his palm, Bai Pei'an's voice was like a mosquito moaning, and no one else would hear it in the noisy restaurant, but Gu Shengchao's internal strength was excellent, and he could hear it clearly, he quietly hugged the wine jar and went out.

Back at the noodle restaurant, Gu Shengchao sat at the door and stared at the direction of the restaurant, he didn't know if what Bai Pei'an said was related to Shui Linglong, but he had to guard against it. After a while, he saw Bai Pei'an and his group leaving together, and told the assistant chef to close the bill at the end, and quietly followed.

Gu Shengchao relied on his ability to perceive outstandingly, he didn't need to stare at it, he only needed to sense the existence of the other party's breath in the dark, and he could follow behind without being discovered. Gu Shengchao followed for nearly an hour, and they came to an abandoned wharf outside the city, the wharf was not large, only a few small boats stayed on the river, and next to the wharf was a dilapidated warehouse. The pier was abruptly by the river, and there was no shelter nearby, and Gu Shengchao had no choice but to hide in the grass in the distance, unable to approach.

In the silent night, the other party's voice was clearly discernible, and Gu Shengchao could sense the exact location of each of them.

Gu Shengchao also wondered where his superhuman perception came from, he initially thought that as long as he had strong internal strength, his perception would be strong. After marrying Wan Ruo, he found that Wan Ruo's internal strength was slightly inferior to him, but his perception ability was much worse, and it was far from being a factor of internal force. He wondered if it was because Lu Chuan had taught him the Five Soul Array, the center of gravity of the Five Soul Array was to use internal force to construct a powerful formation, for individuals, the layout of the formation needed to mobilize all perceptions to participate, perhaps, this was the reason!

The people on the wharf were scattered, in groups of threes and threes, some by the warehouse, some on the trestle, and some by the river, all finding their respective positions and sitting still, as if waiting for something.

Gu Shengchao was strange, he thought that they would hide and carry out a surprise attack, so he was so blatantly waiting, but it was the first time he saw it.

After a long wait, before I knew it, a few people in the distance were about to be unable to stay up in the quiet night, and yawned one after another. Gu Shengchao was infected, and a wave of tiredness came to him, feeling a little tired, and then he wanted to yawn.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance was heading towards the dock, and Gu Shengchao pricked up his ears to distinguish that there were two horses.
