In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight sprinkled on the roof with crisp birdsong, Zhao Xiaoyan hurried to the mouth of the street rice market. When the early neighbors around saw him, they all greeted him in surprise, "Yo, the direction in which the sun comes out hasn't changed?" Why didn't Boss Zhao sleep in Fengyue Alley, why did he come so early? Could it be that there are new goods to be received?"

"Don't mention it, I'm really a little sleepy for you to say that!" Zhao Xiaoyan yawned tiredly, and said to the merchant who had just come out of the house and was about to open for business.

"Haha, I knew there must be something important, or you could get up so early? What's the matter? What chance do you have to make a fortune?" said the shopkeeper of the other shop with a smile as he unblocked the door panel.

Zhao Xiaoyan stopped, looked at the middle-aged man who was talking to him, and said with a very depressed look: "Isn't it the grain shop that I told you about some time ago?

"Poof...... You ......"

"Zhao Xiaoyan, alas, it's just your broken mouth...... I have time to learn more from your brother......"

"That's it, you see that the shopkeeper Zhao can talk a lot, you ...... Alas......" The middle-aged man shook his head speechlessly, but he didn't expect that it was just a greeting, but now he was scolded by this goods without any words.

"Don't be angry, I also said bald mouth, I didn't mean to scold. Isn't this just anxious about the grain store, can't you give your grandfather a few companions, you can take care of it a little more!"

"Okay, who doesn't know your kid's virtue? What's the matter?" asked an old neighbor who was standing not far away.

Zhao Xiaoyan mysteriously stretched out his hand and pointed in one direction, skimmed, and the corners of his mouth "Ahh

"Shouldn't it? That's his family's ancestral business, why did he get rid of it so easily?" The middle-aged man obviously understood the person Zhao Xiaoyan was referring to, and he was a little unspeakably surprised in his heart.

"Ancestral industry, what is the ancestral industry for? Isn't it to protect future generations?" Zhao Xiaoyan slanted the corners of his eyes, with a hint of disdain on his face, "But you yourself say, since Ma Maocai's father died, how has his business been? In fact, I have long seen that with his honest temperament, he is not suitable for being a merchant at all." ”

"Alas, that's true, but after all, it's an ancestral business?" the old neighbor couldn't accept it.

"Then how much silver do you say their old Ma's grain shop is worth?" Zhao Xiao saw that everyone couldn't accept such a thing, so he asked.

"It depends on how much grain he has, but why is it two thousand taels of silver?" the middle-aged man thought for a moment, and then gave the answer.

"How about our Lord Shen give him this number?" Zhao Xiaoyan stretched out his slap and shook it.

"Hey, so much? This Lord Shen is crazy, isn't it? The loser is not so defeated!" The old neighbor was taken aback when he saw the number drawn by Zhao Xiaoyan.

"This is just what everyone needs, and now that the Shen family has a great business, they rely on those tenants, and if they encounter a famine year, they all have to drink the northwest wind. Ma Maocai's side was not suitable for being a businessman, so Lord Shen suggested that he take the silver and buy some better fields, wouldn't it be nice to be a rich man in peace?" Zhao Xiaoyan explained.

"Then do you know if Lord Shen has any plans to buy a grocery store? If I really give this price, I am a happy person, and I can give it to him directly!" Ye Dashan, the owner of the grocery store who was standing on the side, asked with a concerned expression.

"Haha, Ma Maocai's shop is an ancestral business, and your Ye Dashan's grocery store is not an ancestral business?" Zhao Xiaoyan was really amused by Ye Dashan's change in attitude, but he said in a low voice, "Don't you see this? Shen Mansion is solving the problem of eating in the whole house, if it is other shops, then there are still a lot of shops at home that have not been cleaned up." Therefore, for a grain store like Lao Ma's family with a fixed grain channel, you can recommend it to Lord Shen. You don't know Lord Shen's personality yet, even if you think about it with your toenails, he won't treat you badly?"

Zhao Xiaoyan's remarks obviously moved the surrounding neighbors, and everyone knew that the head of the Shen Mansion was generous. If you can really succeed in matchmaking, it is estimated that the reward will have to cover your income for several days. So the people stopped discussing it, but pondered it with their hearts.

"Okay, master, you guys are busy first, I still have to find Ma Maocai!" Zhao Xiao saw that after the gossip was finished, he greeted everyone, and hurriedly walked to the Ma family's grain store.

The neighbors looked at Zhao Xiaoyan's back and couldn't help but sigh: "This Zhao family kid has climbed the high branches!"

"That's, it's also this kid who has luck, before the Shen Mansion was established, do you see the bear he was messing around all day long? Look at the present, okay, not only is he full of energy all day long, but he also dresses himself up in five people and six people. ”

"That's really the case, this person, if you want to turn over in your life, you have to meet a nobleman, and this is how you meet Shen Feng, a nobleman. ”

"It's not like that, just our poor and sour life, if there is no noble person to help, hum! If you want to turn over, it will be hard to die! Hey! You bastard didn't come back last night, did you go to gamble? Why did I give birth to you as a bad animal, why do you need money? See that Lao Tzu didn't kill you rabbit cub today......" The shopkeeper of the butcher shop, who was feeling his ill-fated journey, suddenly found that his son came from a distance, not only his eyes were red, but also his face was tired and haggard, so he shouted and scolded.

One day in Feixue Town, it kicked off in the footsteps of Shopkeeper Sun chasing his son with a stick all over the street.

At this time, Zhao Xiaoyan had already come to the northernmost wooden door of Mishi Lane, only to see him stretch out his right hand, slap on the wooden door, and shout loudly: "Horse shopkeeper, open the door! Ma shopkeeper, the sun is all on your buttocks, you won't still be sleeping, right?......?"

Zhao Xiaoyan didn't shout a few times, and there was a sound of footsteps and an answer from behind the wooden door, "Come on, don't shoot! What are you anxious about? I haven't finished this thatched house yet, just listen to your broken gong and roar!"

As he spoke, he pulled the deadbolt from the inside, removed the two door panels, and grumbled unhappily.

"Huh...... I'm in a hurry to get into the room, you're still slow, you look at me for yourself, I didn't sleep all night last night. If you don't give me a letter today, I have to hurry to the old Xu's house in Wanyue Town, he has intentions, but if you can accept it, one is to be able to get closer, and the money we can make ourselves, why let outsiders take it?" Zhao Xiaoyan said speechlessly.

Ma Maocai only removed the three door panels, and beckoned, "Come in!" and walked inside alone.

After sitting down, Zhao Xiao looked at Ma Maocai, who was still grinding and chirping, and couldn't help but ask again: "Whether it is successful or not, you will give me a bottom today, if it is okay, I will go to deal with Lord Shen here, if not, I will have to rush to Wanyue Town." ”

"Don't worry, my mother will come over in a while, let her tell you!" Ma Mao opened his mouth and said in a tangled manner.

"Oh, then you tell your aunt, she is not in good health, don't let her worry anymore? Let's go, I'll go and see my aunt in person......" Zhao Xiaoyan understood now, it seems that this Ma Maocai himself couldn't make up his mind, so he had to move his mother out, but since Ma Maocai's father died, his mother's health has been bad, so Zhao Xiaoyan is a little worried.

"Hehe, you kid, you're always in a hurry, it's okay, your aunt is not as unbearable as you think!" Zhao Xiaoyan was anxious about Ma Maocai's grinding when a woman pushed the door from the backyard and walked in.

"Ouch, come, I'll help you a little, it's early in the morning, it's cool, why do you say you get up so early? I'll just go over to you." As soon as Zhao Xiaoyan saw the woman come in, he immediately got up and went over to help, muttering nonsense.

"It's okay, people sleep less when they get old, and it's uncomfortable to sit on the bed all the time, I heard Mao Cai say that you are coming over today, so I said come and talk to you. The woman, perhaps sensitive to the cool breeze outside, coughed twice before speaking.

Ma Mao saw the old lady come out, and quickly walked over to support the other side, and then asked the old lady to sit down, "Mother, you are coughing again, why don't I go to the pharmacy to grab some medicine?"

The woman glanced at Ma Maocai and waved her hand, "You don't need to grab the medicine, it's all an old problem, it's okay!" After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Zhao Xiaoyan, "How much silver do you say the Shen Mansion plans to give out?"
