After Chu Yao changed her clothes, she went to see the shop with Jiang Qingci. The troublemakers have been taken away by the people of the yamen, and Jiang Qingci's people are cleaning the stains in front of the shop.

After a few buckets of water were splashed, the ground had almost been washed away, and Jiang Qingci confirmed that the blood stains were almost invisible before inviting Chu Yao over.

When something like this happened, Jiang Qingci took the initiative to lower the rent for Chu Yao, and Chu Yao rented it for three years, and he had to give it to him after paying the silver ticket.

It was the first time Jiang Qingci saw that he had paid so much, as if it was not his own money, and he didn't feel distressed at all.

Knowing that she not only wanted to rent a shop, but even had plans to buy a shop, he thought that there was nothing else to do today, so he offered to accompany her to see the shop, he was not only familiar with the business conditions of this shop, knew the approximate price of each shop, and whether it was leasing or buying a shop, he had to go to the yamen to buy the fixed post and the right deed, and he could also help with this matter.

So with his help, Chu Yao used the remaining money to buy two more shops. The shop is not big, but the location is good, because of his mediation and bargaining, Chu Yao also saved a sum of money in her hand, and she planned to invite Jiang Qingci to have a meal and thank him for his help.

Jiang Qing didn't refuse, he was really hungry near noon, so he picked a nearby restaurant with elegant decorations, and ordered a few dishes after asking Chu Yao and Zhiye about their preferences and tastes.

Jiang Qingci asked her what kind of business she planned to do with the three shops on the market today.

Chu Yao smiled a little shyly: "I'm not afraid of jokes in the ya, in fact, I haven't made plans yet." I had never done business before, and I wanted to plan to come back to the shop later, but something happened that forced me to spend my money in advance......"

Although she didn't say the specific reason, Jiang Qingci could guess a little more after thinking about it deeply.

The first time he saw her was in a pawnshop, he fell in love with the painting in her hand, and knew that it was genuine and wanted to buy it, but out of caution, he sent someone to investigate her details, and learned that she was the second young lady in Lu Yuanwai's house, and he didn't know why he reconciled with Lu Erlang and left the Lu family with the child.

The day they met, it was when she left the Lu family.

The Lu family is quite wealthy, he guessed that she had probably gotten a sum of silver after she left, and now she is so eager to spend the silver, probably because this silver has been remembered.

In this way, Jiang Qingci didn't ask much, but secretly admired her courage in his heart, and said to her: "Actually, it is not a chance that you are in such a hurry to set up a shop. In the past few years, most of the people have had a hard time, and the merchants have been stripped layer after layer, and many of them can't hold on. Now it's different, King Jinyang is approaching Kyoto, I'm afraid it won't be long before it will be known. If the situation really changes, it is likely that the agricultural and commercial policies will also change, and if we can adopt a strategy of resting with the people, the revival of the economy will be just around the corner. When the time comes, you will have three shops in your hands, and even if you don't do anything, you can sublet them out, and the rent alone will be enough for your daily expenses......"

"Really?" Chu Yao doesn't know much about this situation, she has lived in the inner courtyard for a long time, she doesn't know much, she can only take care of the things in front of her, and she doesn't have much judgment on major events. Now listening to his analysis, renting and buying a shop by himself seems to have picked up good luck by mistake. In the future, if it is really as he said, he is also a proprietor of his own size, and he lives by collecting rent, although it is not much, but it is enough.

She was happy in her heart, her brows stretched a lot, and she toasted Jiang Qingci with tea instead of wine: "Thanks to the help of the Yanai today, it can be so smooth, I don't know how to thank the Yanei." I'll prepare a small gift another day to express my gratitude! ”

The other party politely raised his glass: "Chu Niangzi doesn't have to be polite, it's just a gesture." ”

Jiang Qingci is well-informed, and she has a lot of ways to do business, and when Chu Yao wants to go to the checkout, she realizes that this restaurant is also the Jiang family's industry, and the shopkeeper refuses to accept her money for the sake of Jiang Qingci's face, Jiang Qingci also told her not to be polite, and to take care of this business in the future.

Chu Yao and Zhiye are both women, and it is not good to excuse them in public, and they can't pay for the meal after all.

Sitting in the carriage home, Chu Yao and Zhiye sighed: I originally wanted to invite him to dinner to repay him a favor, but now this favor is owed more and more.

When I got home, my aunt and two aunts had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as Fang stepped into the yard, they surrounded me, their eyes were eager and expectant, and it was not good to reach out directly to ask for money, so they pretended to be warm: "On this hot day, Yao'er has worked the road, sit down and drink a bowl of cold water to relieve the heat......"

Chu Yao felt funny: "This is my home, you don't have to be polite." ”

The three of them looked at each other, and they were embarrassed to be the first to mention the money, so they all looked at Chu's mother Zhou, and motioned for her to speak most appropriately.

Zhou thought that Chu Yao happily agreed to borrow money yesterday, so he didn't feel embarrassed to speak: "Yao'er, can you withdraw money smoothly this time?" How much did you take, your aunt and uncle are still waiting for money to save the emergency. ”

Chu Yaoyuan also wanted to tell them bluntly that all the money was used to buy a shop, and not a single copper would be lent to them, but after thinking about it, they still couldn't just be happy for a while, if they knew that they had three shops, they would definitely have the idea of making a shop.

The money has been spent, but it's just a different story.

So Chu Yao made a frightened look, her acting skills were not distracted, even if she asked the other party to see it, it didn't matter: "Mother, I met gangsters on the way back, and they were asked to snatch the silver." ”

"Encountering a gangster?" Zhou was immediately frightened, "Then are you okay?" Did they hurt you? ”

"I'm fine, they just want money, they didn't hurt me."

Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, it's good if you're okay......"

Zhou's concern was chaotic, and he believed in his daughter's words, but the other three came for money, and when they didn't see the money, they were a little angry, and they said: "Such a large sum of silver was robbed by others, but he was unharmed, didn't you deceive us?" If you don't want to lend us money, you just said it yesterday, why bother us to run for nothing on such a hot day......"

Chu Yao sneered: "Money is something outside the body, and it is a great blessing that I am fine, what my aunt said, is it possible that she wants to see me empty of money and money, and I am convinced only if I am missing arms and legs?" ”

The other party rolled his eyes, and he already had no good face: "You don't want to borrow money, and we don't dare to search your body, depending on how you arrange it, we can't do anything about you." It's just that this kind of lie was made up, and one day it was really fulfilled......"

Her words were vicious, Chu Yao had not yet attacked, but Zhou was not happy to hear it: "What are you talking about?" How can you curse my Yao'er......"

Zhou's person is kind-hearted and easy to handle, and her ears are soft and easy to be deceived, but even if she is confused, she knows how to protect her daughter, and she only has this one child left, and she will expect her to support her in the future, how can she allow others to curse her like this.

The three men were dumbfounded, and when they saw that they could not get any money, they left with a grunt.

Chu Yao turned her head and struck while the iron was hot and advised her mother: "Mother, look, when you borrow money, you are very good with you, and if you can't borrow money, your nose is not a nose and your eyes are not eyes." If I hadn't gone into the city to get money for them, how could I have encountered the gangsters who lost three hundred taels in vain? They didn't just say a word of comfort, how could they still say that I made up lies to deceive them. What do you do with such relatives? ”

Zhou was also distressed and afraid, so he also listened to his daughter's words and muttered: "Yes, if they come again in the future, I don't want to see them." ”

Today is a tear in the face, presumably a few of them can stop for a few days. In the future, if you are cheeky enough to ask for money, the soldiers will come to cover the water.

I don't think about this matter for the time being, and the three shops are not in a hurry to open, after all, Chu Yao hasn't thought about what business to do, and the most important thing at the moment is to accompany her son more.

Calculation and separation can not be four or five days, these days have been a breath in the heart, busy fashion can also be distracted, once idle, it is inevitable to be sentimental, one to be sad that he has been really wrong for three years, and the other is sad that his son will be picked up from his side soon.

Zhou was also very sad, sighing for the three hundred taels of silver, unable to swallow, Chu Yao was afraid that she would get sick because of this, so she proposed to go to the Peach Blossom Nunnery to live for a few days to escape the heat.

Zhou couldn't raise his interest, and said: "The silver has been robbed by someone, where do we have the money to go out for a break?" ”

Chu Yao and Zhiye glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "The three hundred taels of silver really can't be recovered, but I still have the body I have saved in the past few years, and the Lu family also gave me a shop when I left, let's do a small business in the future, so that the mountains and rivers will not be exhausted......"

"The Lu family also gave you a shop?" When Zhou heard this, he was really happy, "I didn't hear you mention it before, and I thought they only gave you silver." ”

"yes." Chu Yao is used to saying half-truths to her, and naturally she can't tell her all about money and shops, so she can make her happy by saying less.

Zhou shook his fan and smiled: "Then let's go out to play for a few days, in fact, I am also annoyed in the past two days, you said that you and leave this matter......"

"Mother, don't mention this again."

The peach blossom nunnery is in the north of Suizhou city, the back mountain is near the river, the pine waves on the mountain are bursting, the river water under the mountain is cool, there is a house in the nunnery for pilgrims to live for a short time, it is very suitable for summer vacation.

Chu Yao hugged her son and came here in a carriage with her mother and Zhiye, and there were two men behind the carriage who followed not far away on horses.

Chu Yao comforted her mother not to worry, and told her that the two were the guards of the Lu family, and they had come to protect Brother Ming.

In fact, those two people were sent by Pei Zhan, Chu Yao has always known about their existence, when she entered the city with Zhiye two days ago, the two did not follow, and now she went out with her son in her arms, and the other party followed out, obviously Brother Ming'er's life is more precious than her.

There are many people who come to the peach blossom nunnery to escape the summer, there are still two houses left in the nunnery, which are not adjacent, there are two rooms in between, Chu Yao arranged for her mother to live with Zhiye in one room, and she took her son to live in the other room.

Chu Yao held her son in the mountains to watch the scenery and listen to the birdsong, played in the shallows to collect shellfish, played happily all day, ate fasting at dusk, and held her sleeping son to listen to the teacher's lecture for a while, until her son woke up and cried before returning to the room to rest.

When I opened the door, I saw a man sitting in the room drinking tea.

She quickly retreated without taking a closer look, and apologized again and again: "Sorry, I went to the wrong room......"

But after exiting, I felt that it was wrong, and I looked at the room number carefully again, and confirmed that it was my room, and there was no doubt about it: what is going on?

She was about to call someone, but she heard a familiar voice from inside: "It's me, come in." ”
