The shopkeeper of "Jinghuatang" is now on the verge of tears. His century-old brand is now about to be ruined in his own hands. WWw.QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO.COm Ever since the opening of the "Xi Jun Zhai", the capable clerks have been poached, and his family's business has been getting worse day by day. Forget it, but since the reopening that caused a sensation in the capital a few days ago, "Jinghua Hall" has hardly had a single customer come to the door. He also spent money to get through to familiar officials, but was turned back without exception. He also knew how powerful the power behind this "Xi Jun Zhai" was!

Now, the guy who once made him want to peel off his skin and drink his blood was standing in front of him, with his legs crossed, and the traitor Mo Bao was standing behind him with a "flattery" look on his face.

Xiao Yueye didn't say a word, but just stared at the shopkeeper until he was so worried that he coughed slightly and looked away.

Taking out a stack of banknotes from her arms and placing them on the table, Xiao Yueye pushed them casually and said calmly: "Shopkeeper Qi, let me get straight to the point. I want to buy your 'Jinghua Hall'!"

"What? No!" Shopkeeper Qi refused instinctively, but after reacting, he still looked at the bank notes on the table with some hesitation and swallowed.

Xiao Yueye raised a smile, tapped the banknotes on the table with her index finger, and said slowly: "Jinghuatang has been without business for almost half a month, right? I see that the waiters outside all look listless."

Shopkeeper Qi snorted coldly and did not answer. If it weren't for you "Xi Jun Zhai", would we be like this? What do you think this is, asking questions knowingly? Or are you here to show off

"Here are three thousand taels. I bought the shop and the clerk together. What does Shopkeeper Qi think?"

Shopkeeper Qi swallowed hard, three thousand taels? This guy is so generous! I can’t earn that much in three years!

However, he still said with a straight face: "You want to buy my Jinghua Hall for only three thousand taels? Humph, my daily business volume is at least one hundred taels!"

Xiao Yueye laughed out loud. He looked at Shopkeeper Qi with bright eyes and said lightly: "Shopkeeper Qi seems to have remembered it wrong, right? It should be that one day, he bought up to one hundred taels of goods! On average, Jinghuatang You can only earn seven or eight taels a day, and that doesn’t include the wages paid to the clerk. What’s more, things are different now.”

Listening to Xiao Yueye's slightly sarcastic words, Shopkeeper Qi's old face suddenly turned red. He knew it must be Mo Bao, the traitor, who said this, so he couldn't help but glared at him fiercely.

Mo Bao shrank his head, he was cultivated by shopkeeper Qi, and he felt a little guilty.

"Jinghua Hall is my century-old ancestral property, there is no way I can sell it!" Shopkeeper Qi said angrily, and slammed the table.

Xiao Yueye was not in a hurry and said slowly: "Really? So just for the sake of a breath, Shopkeeper Qi decided to watch the 'Jinghua Hall' collapse?"

This sentence is to the point. According to the current trend, "Jinghuatang" may have no choice but to close down.

Xiao Yueye leaned forward, holding the banknote with her right hand and the table with her left hand, smiling like a fox: "Sell it to me, Jinghuatang, and Shopkeeper Qi can survive, and these three thousand taels will be yours. "

Everyone would choose one of the two, but Shopkeeper Qi still didn't say anything. Not just for the sake of a breath, but because this "Jinghua Hall" is his ancestral inheritance, and he can't bear to part with it!

Xiao Yueye learned about this situation from Mo Bao, and also understood the psychology of shopkeeper Qi. He said in a seductive tone: "As long as you are willing, you will still be the shopkeeper of Jinghua Hall from now on, how about it? In this way, you will be right. Remember your ancestors."

After a lot of fighting between heaven and man, Shopkeeper Qi finally made up his mind.

"Okay, I promise you!"

Xiao Yueye laughed, took out a contract from her arms and handed it to Shopkeeper Qi: "Happy cooperation!"

Two days later, residents in the capital were surprised to find that many old rouge and gouache shops had become branches of "Xijunzhai", such as "Xijunzhai Jinghuatang Branch". However, many beauty-loving women are surprised to find that in these branches, there are many cosmetics that are cheap but of good quality.

At this time, "Xijunzhai" became popular again. Most of these branches just changed owners, and the staff inside were still the same. Now they wish they had three heads and six arms to be able to deal with these fanatical women.

The business was almost on the right track, and Xiao Yueye could take care of his wife at home. Anyway, there was no order from the court, so he was happy and relaxed. Xiao Yueye's happiest thing was to hold her two wives in her arms every day and stop her child from fussing in Yansha's belly.

"Master, what do you think the child should be called?" Rourou asked while knitting a small sweater.

Xiao Yueyue took a sip of tea, thought about it and said, "The man's name is Xiao Bang, and the woman's name is Xiao Sha'er. How about that?"

While the three of them were joking about the child's name, a servant ran over and handed Xiao Yueye a post. Xiao Yueye opened it and smiled slightly: "I'm just waiting for you!"

"Master, what is this?"

"I'll go to the ticket office for Uncle Qi's invitation."

. . . . . .

Xiao Yueye's mood was completely different after slowly walking out of the "Qian Lai Ticket Office". Qi Yu greatly appreciated his current business, patted his arm repeatedly, and laughed very loudly. Moreover, Xiao Yueye was officially given the title of master, but it was only temporary. Like Gu Feng, he has appointed an heir, and Yu Wei will have to replace him soon.

And the new Yuwei is Xiao Yueye’s brother-in-law and Rourou’s brother, Liu Fucai!

"Young Master, Fu is the heir that I have cultivated with all my heart. After he returns to Beijing, I will officially pass on the title of Rain Guard to him."

Thinking of this, Xiao Yueye felt that it was God's will! But if Rourou knew that her brother would come, she would be extremely happy!

Having said that, I haven’t seen my mother for a long time. I wonder if she has returned to Hui County now? There are so many people in Hui County who miss them so much!

It seems like I might as well find some time to go home.

Just as he was thinking about it, he felt someone bumping into him. The martial artist's instinctive reaction made Xiao Yueye turn around and avoid the intruder.

Hearing the sound of "Ouch", Xiao Yueye was stunned to find that it was a woman and she fell to the ground.

But why is this voice so familiar

Xiao Yueye looked at the woman who fell to the ground, and she happened to look up at Xiao Yueye. They were startled at the same time, and then said at the same time: "It's you?!"

The woman patted her clothes, picked up a pile of vegetables that fell on the ground, and then said, "Why are you in the capital? What's your name, Xiao?"

Xiao Yueye smiled: "Xiao Yueye! Miss Yin, why did you come to the capital?"

It turns out that this woman is Yin Caiju who killed the old lady with vegetables in Shuiyun Province!

Why did she come to the capital

"I remember you are an official. No wonder you are in the capital." Yin Caiju thought for a while and said.

Xiao Yueye took the chicken, duck, fish and a bunch of vegetables from her hand. He feels a bit heavy for a man, how can this petite Yin Caiju carry it? !

Yin Caiju looked at Xiao Yueye in astonishment as she took it, and then smiled with understanding: "You are such a good person, I was right."

"Miss Yin, where do you live? Why do you buy so many things?"

"Well, I'm the chef of 'Long Zelou' now, and I just came out to buy groceries today."

Xiao Yueye was surprised now. This little girl's cooking skills were indeed amazing. Among the capital, the most famous one is the "Longze Tower". It is said that the late emperor once disliked the food cooked by the imperial chef and came here to eat. "Longze Building" is of extremely high quality, and those who come in and out of it are either rich or expensive, and the recruitment of chefs is even more stringent to the point of perversion. It is said that even some royal chefs are not qualified to join.

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

Along the way, Xiao Yueye also learned about Yin Caiju's general situation: it turned out that this girl really ran away from the mountains. She had lived in the mountains with her adoptive father since she was a child, and she only came out when she was fourteen years old. Her adoptive father was a chef with excellent skills, so Yin Caiju inherited his father's business and excelled at it. She wandered all the way, and after leaving Shuiyun Province, she followed a caravan to the capital, and happened to come across the "Longze Tower" looking for a chef.

When they arrived at "Longze Tower", the two chatted for a few words and then left. However, Xiao Yueye made a request. Yansha's taste has been very bad recently. He hoped that Yin Caiju would have time to go to "Xiao Mansion" to help cook some dishes. Of course, he would pay double the price. The latter was grateful to Xiao Yueye for letting her go, so she naturally agreed happily.

. . . . . .

In the palace, Murong Liuyun was reviewing memorials in the "Shang Study Room" as always, with the old eunuch waiting next to him.

After stretching, Murong Liuyun stood up and walked around a few times to move his body.

"Liu Dexi, what time is it outside?"

Liu Dexi was the old eunuch. Seeing that he looked like he was asleep, when he heard the emperor's reply, he replied without even looking out: "Back to the emperor, it's almost six o'clock."

Murong Liuyun touched his stomach and said, "Pass the meal around, I'm a little hungry."

"Yes!" Liu Dexi looked old, but his actions were not dissatisfied at all. He whispered a few words to Xiao Jiangzi who was guarding outside, and the latter left.

At this moment, Liu Dexi heard a loud roar: "Liu Dexi, Liu Dexi, come in quickly, come in quickly!"

Liu Dexi was shocked, but at the same time he heard the surprise in the emperor's voice and hurried over.

In the "study room", Murong Liuyun's hands were shaking as if he were holding a treasure. Only when Liu Dexi took a few steps forward did he see that it was a brocade handkerchief. But, what kind of brocade handkerchief was it that made Murong Liuyun look so pale

Seeing Liu Dexi come in, Murong Liuyun opened his eyes wide with a look of ecstasy: "Liu Dexi, look, this, this, is this Ru'er's handkerchief?"

Ru'er? ! Liu Dexi's ancient well, Wubo, which he has practiced for many years, suddenly became like boiling water, boiling non-stop. His tears fell immediately. He raised his hands and took the brocade handkerchief tremblingly. He looked at it carefully, as if caressing a treasure.

Murong Liuyun was like a child, holding onto Liu Dexi's arm tightly: "Is it hers? Really?"

Liu Dexi raised his head fiercely, and then clicked like a chicken eating rice: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I recognize it, it is the queen's brocade handkerchief!"

Murong Liuyun laughed loudly, took the brocade handkerchief, and cried with joy: "I, I knew, you must not be dead, I knew, Ru'er, Ru'er, Ru'er."

He waved his hand fiercely and shouted: "Get them all out."

A dozen figures appeared out of nowhere in the empty space. They all knelt on the ground, and one of them said respectfully: "Your Majesty."

"Gu Duohe, did you see who sent this in?" Murong Liuyun gasped, his tone full of expectation. (Quanben Novel Website www.QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO.com)
