He chatted with Lu Zhou, and Mi Tian on the side was stunned.

The emperor's grandson turned out to be out of the palace to play!

The emperor and grandson actually went to Lu Banyu's house to eat and drink!

These things were all made by Brother Lu Banyu!

They've eaten so much good food!

He hasn't even eaten it!

Mi Tian swallowed his saliva, why didn't he know it earlier?

Because Mi Tian missed too much, Jiang Hao asked the waiter to pack the remaining small cakes in the evening and let Mi Tian take them home.

Lu Zhou also comforted him: "I will also bring you food in the future." ”

Mi Tian: "Yes! Thank you, Brother Lu. ”

In the evening, Mi Tian distributed the cake to his younger siblings and his father and mother to eat, and sure enough, the whole family loved to eat it, he was happy, and even shared the problem that Lu Zhou listened to Lu Xu and took it to discuss with them-

If the family is in the middle of the road, should it be time to maintain the honor or sell the property and start over.

This question hit his father Cheng Pingbo's lung tube, and Cheng Pingbo coughed up a small half of the cake.

That's it!

The ancestor was the founding of the country, and he was named an earl with a different surname, and he also received a large piece of property.

And then one generation is not as good as the next.

By the time of his father, the fields in the suburbs of Beijing were almost sold out, and the shops in Nancheng and the houses in the suburbs of Beijing were also sold.

By the time he arrived, there was nothing left of his former glory, and his clothes had to be refurbished and worn.

Thanks to his wife's smart housekeeping, the two of them lived frugally, and they were finally able to get by.

Emperor Hong'an advocated frugality, and his family was the first to respond, isn't this homeopathic to save the expensive province!

As luck would have passed, he was shabby, and he actually gave his son a good errand to study.

Cheng Pingbo was self-conscious for a few days, but he didn't expect to be poked in the lungs by his own son today.

Mi Tian hurriedly handed him tea.

Cheng Pingbo put on the majesty of being a father, not wanting to answer this kind of topic that he usually didn't dare to think about: "Don't mention this matter again in the future!" ”

Unexpectedly, his wife asked: "You said that Lu Banyu's brother was looking for a shop in Xicheng, but he didn't find any of them?" ”

Mi Tian nodded.

Madame picked up the cake and ate it slowly for a while, and said with a smile: "Uncle, we might as well give it to him for the shop on Jiale Street." ”

Cheng Pingbo immediately fried his hair: "No! Who in the capital doesn't know that it's our shop, what's the difference between selling it there and selling it?! ”

Mi Tian: "Brother Lu said that his family wants to rent. ”

Cheng Pingbo: "You can't rent it!" ”

The lady said indifferently: "Then borrow it." ”

Cheng Pingbo gasped: "Madam, how can you turn your elbow out?" We'll point to that shop for dinner, you haven't added jewelry for a long time, the children have to wear new clothes, and I want to have a few sips of wine! ”

Madame pushed him away, but as if she didn't hear it, she continued to ask Mi Tian: "What do you think of Lu Bian's character?" ”

Mi Tian immediately boasted: "Brother Lu is very good!" ”

Madame: "In the past few days, I have heard Tian'er mention that Lu Banyu, and I heard that his character and family education must not be bad, and I just heard that Tian'er said that the emperor's grandson went to his house to eat, and even His Majesty's eyes can enter." ”

Cheng Pingbo: "What does it have to do with us?" ”

Mrs. said: "He has a good character, has such good craftsmanship, and is friendly with the emperor and grandson, no matter where he goes to open a store, his business will not be bad." ”

The others just didn't figure it out, if they figured it out, it would be too late to win over Lu Xu.

Madame: "In that case, why don't you let him use our shop?" ”

Cheng Pingbo was anxious: "No! I'll be laughed at! ”

Madame gave him a roll of the eyes, did they have less jokes in Chengping's Mansion?

Seeing this, Cheng Pingbo immediately increased his persuasiveness, and pointed at his son: "Tian'er will not be able to raise his head!" ”

Madame: "We don't sell or rent, just because Lu Banyu and Tian'er are classmates, and there is an idle shop to lend him, what can't we look up to?" ”

Cheng Pingbo: "No, lend it to him, what do we eat and drink?" ”

Madame: "Who said that if you borrow a shop, you will have no money, and you will have to borrow money from a banker." ”

Cheng Pingbo: "......"

He thought to himself, isn't that still renting? What's the difference with renting!

He didn't want to.

Madame: "Collecting profits is the next policy, why don't you ask him to go to the mansion to talk in detail?" If he is willing, we will take one or two shares, and it will still be regarded as our uncle's business, and others will not laugh at us. ”

Cheng Pingbo: "......"

Go to a civilian hairy boy with no power, no power and no background to talk about shares?

He can't pull this face!

"Don't go!"

Madame: "Uncle really doesn't want to?" ”

Cheng Pingbo said stubbornly: "Don't go!" ”

Mrs. Chengping smiled at him, drove him to the study, and said softly: "Uncle, let's calm down and think about it." ”

Cheng Pingbo: "......"

His study had been unused for a long time, and he didn't even have a mat, but thanks to the heat, he didn't get sick from the cold, so he fanned all night, suffered a lot of mosquito bites, and compromised.

The lady asked the housekeeper to find Lu Xu, and thought about what to say for Cheng Pingbo.

……

When the sleepiness met the pillow, Lu Xu was of course happy.

He locked the door of his house and immediately went to see the store with the housekeeper of Chengpingbo's Mansion.

Changle Street is an east-west street, with Beicheng to the north and Xicheng to the south, separating the two districts.

Chengping Bo's shop is located in Xicheng, located on the south side of Changle Street, sitting south to north, facing Changle Street and Beicheng, the name is Yuehui Building, which sells paper.

The housekeeper Mi An introduced that Mrs. Chengping's hometown produces paper, which is an industry that the last generation only began to do.

However, the business was light, and the uncle planned to move the paper to another shop.

Lu Xu took a look, the paper is very thick, and it is generally only used to make book sleeves or invitations from large households, whether it is the cost or the price, it is expensive.

Lu Xu: "It's okay, it doesn't matter, I see that this shop is quite big, why don't you do two businesses together?" ”

Mian: "...... Yes? ”

Lu Xu went to the back and took a look, except for the warehouse, everywhere else was idle, the empty room was locked, and from the crack in the door, it was all empty.

Lu Xu said in his heart, the location is so good, even if you only rent out the small yard inside, you can charge a lot of rent, but it is deserted, and I don't know what to think.

He stepped on the stairs to the second floor to take a look, and the location here is west, and the second floor is not too high, otherwise it is so close to the imperial city, but it is not allowed to build a building casually.

He walked around, and the idea began to come to his mind.

Lu Xu smiled and asked, "I don't know if my uncle is at home?" Can I go to the house to meet my uncle today? ”

Mian smiled: "Yes." ”

Lu Xu: "I'm sorry for you to lead the way." ”

Chengpingbo's Mansion is in Xicheng, and it is also very close to here, and it takes less than half an hour to walk over, Lu Xu guessed that it is probably because of the good location of Chengpingbo's ancestral house that their family can have a shop here.

The capital has also been expanded.

When it was first built, it was located to the west, and it was not a particularly central location.

Later, there were more and more people in the capital, whether it was the official eunuch or the common people, they could not live anymore and wanted to expand.

The location of the imperial city was decided, and if you want to expand, you can only expand to the east and west and south.

The south side was inhabited by civilians, and the eunuchs could only expand to the east and west, and as they expanded, the Chengping Bofu became a good location close to the center.

If Cheng Pingbo had been sealed in a more central position, the house would not have been so big, and there would not have been a shop with such a good location.

Lu Xu followed the housekeeper, and sighed all the way that the area of the Bofu was really large.

The housekeeper led him to the living room of Erjin and asked him to sit down for a while and call his uncle.

Lu Xu had been to the General's Mansion, but at that time, Fan Xiaoren was in the garden, and they neither entered the living room nor were they entertained, which was the first time that they were entertained as serious guests in the living room of a high-ranking official's house, and Lu Xu was still a little restrained.

However, he waited for a while, observed the display in the room and in the courtyard, and felt that the Chengping Bo Mansion was not too extravagant, it was quite ordinary.

After waiting for a while, Cheng Pingbo came with a stinky face, followed by his wife.

Mian introduced people, and Lu Xu hurriedly saluted.

He wondered, didn't Cheng Pingbo see him, why did he bring his wife?

However, their son and Lu Zhou are classmates, Lu Xu is Lu Zhou's brother, and he is also a generation behind, and it is reasonable for Mrs. Bo to see him as an elder.

"Your name is Lu ......"

"Lu Xu."

"Oh, little Lou." Cheng Pingbo picked up the tea and began to drink it, and had nothing to say.

Lu Xu: "......??? ”

He said in his heart, "You asked someone to come to my house early in the morning to look for me, and you called me here, what does it mean to do this at this time?"
