Chapter 056 Shop

Ran Shaotang picked up a pair of chopsticks and stir-fried shredded eel, chewing and laughing to himself.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she imagined Zong Zhengshen going crazy.

Think she is easy to bully? Dare to choke her and threaten her? How can it be so cheap?

Huh! Let me let you know how serious the consequences are now.

She will break the chapter at the most critical point.

It made Zong Zhengshen feel heartbroken.

Ran Shaotang happily ate his meal, and finally Jiuchou put down his chopsticks and looked at her.

"Is it tasty?"

Shaotang nodded happily: "It's delicious."

Zhong Jiuchou poured her a glass of sherbet: "It's delicious. I'll bring you to eat it next time."

Shaotang stopped his chopsticks and looked at the young man with picturesque features in front of him. For a moment, he felt that he no longer wanted to kill him.

While the two were eating and chatting, the noisy sound of firecrackers suddenly came from the market downstairs. Shaotang curiously opened the window facing the street and looked down. A group of newly-dressed people were passing through the market with a lot of music.

Walking in the front was the groom's steward on a tall horse.

But looking at his age, he is quite young. Especially the one with a big belly almost broke through the groom's dress.

The guests in the private room next to it also opened the windows to watch the excitement, and talked while watching.

"Isn't this Cui Da, who used to run a grain store on Fourth Street? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, he had a lot of ups and downs, and almost died in prison. Unexpectedly, within a few days, he was so proud that he suddenly became ill again?"

Shaotang suddenly became interested when he heard about Cui Da, a grain store on Fourth Street.

Isn't this the house that Uncle Cheng Yi wants to discuss real estate with?

She moved her body to the right again, and listened carefully to the gossip next door amidst the noisy wedding suona.

"I heard that someone was interested in his shop and offered a high price. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate's brother-in-law found out about this. He wanted to make a fortune from it and forced Cui Da to sell the shop to him. He then sold it to him at a higher price.

The person who wanted to buy a shop. Cui Da was honest and didn’t want to cheat anyone, so he disagreed life and death. The brother-in-law of the county magistrate put Cui Da in jail under his name."

No wonder Uncle Cheng Yi couldn't negotiate the deal properly. It turned out that someone was hindering him. This person had a good background. If she had been here at that time, she would have turned him into a pig.

"Oh, you said our county magistrate is a great man. Doesn't he know that his brother-in-law is like this?"

"Who knows? The sky is high and the emperor is far away, the county magistrate is the sky above Qianmen Town, and his brother-in-law is a relative of the emperor. Who dares to offend him?"

"Then how did Cui Da get out of prison?"

"I met a noble man. I heard that not only did I get him out, but I also gave him a large sum of money to buy his shop. No, my wife has been widowed for many years, and she has finally renewed her relationship. Look at how beautiful he is."

Someone else asked: "Can the county magistrate's brother-in-law give up and give up?"

"Hey, you don't know, right? I heard that my brother-in-law has been..." The voice behind the words became softer and softer, and Shaotang couldn't hear them clearly even if he put them against the wall.

Zhong Jiuchou watched her stretch her neck like a little white goose and carried her back to her seat.

"Aren't you afraid of falling? Have a good meal. After eating, I will take you somewhere."

Shaotang pouted dissatisfiedly: "I won't go. I still have to find a store."

Zhong Jiuchou slapped his chopsticks on the table, his eyes as deep as ice pools, as if he would freeze to death if he couldn't drown her.

Shaotang's desire to survive immediately surfaced, and he chuckled twice: "I mean there's no rush. I'm not in a hurry. I'll stay with you first."

mmp. When I master my unparalleled martial arts skills, I won’t be able to beat you to a pulp.

Finally, when Jiuchou heard that she had obeyed, his mood improved, and the ice on his face melted like spring water.

Shaotang reluctantly followed Zhong Jiuchou out of the restaurant, got on his horse, and walked through two streets.

She looked around and saw a shop being put up for sale.

"Stop, stop. I want to go down and take a look." She grabbed the horse's mane.

Zhong Jiuchou stretched out his long arm and opened her fingers one by one: "The horse will be in pain."

Ran Shaotang pushed his arm away and shouted from the horseback: "I want to go down and see the shop."

"Not now."

In the end, Jiuchou didn't give her a chance to get off the horse. She pinched the horse's belly and the horse began to gallop through the market.

Shaotang was about to fight him when the bay-red horse stopped at one place.

Finally, Jiuchou jumped off the horse gracefully and dragged Shaotang down, who was full of anger.

Shaotang looked at the shop in front of him with confusion in his eyes.

"Isn't this Cui Da's shop?" she asked.

Zhong Jiuchou walked up the steps and said, "No, this shop's surname is Ran."

"Your surname is Ran?" There was surprise in Shaotang's voice that could not be concealed. "Could it be that you are the kind person those people are gossiping about?"

Finally Jiuchou looked back at her with a smile on his lips.

Shaotang stepped back down the steps and looked at the plaque and the two stone lions in front of the door. It was Cui Da's shop.

Now the shop’s surname is Ran?

Did she hear it correctly?

She quickly walked up the steps, walked up to Zhong Jiuchou and looked up at him: "Did you buy the shop?"

Zhong Jiuchou looked at her as if she were an idiot: "Nonsense, otherwise could my surname be Ran?"

Shaotang's mind was flashing with white silver, and each ingot of silver was engraved with a big character "RAN".

She didn't turn around for a while.

After thinking about it for a while, she seemed to have some realization, and asked in confusion: "Shouldn't your surname be Zhong when you bought the shop? How come your surname is Ran?"

Zhong Jiuchou patted her little head: "Think of it as my gift to you."

"Give it to me? Why? Give me such an expensive gift for no reason? A shop with a backyard. This is not something that can be solved with a few taels of silver. Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?" The best thing she could say was just

Dare to say it in your heart.

Zhong Jiuchou had a smile in his eyes: "This little money is nothing. I'll give it to you."

"Really give it to me?"

Doesn’t Shaotang think this is pie in the sky?

She grinned stupidly.

Someone inside heard the noise, opened the door and came out.

"Young Master, everything has been arranged."

Shaotang saw Shura dressed in black and stood respectfully at the door to make way for them.

Finally Jiuchou nodded and entered, followed by Shaotang.

The front store is old and needs to be renovated.

The windows should also be opened wider to let in the sunlight.

Walking to the backyard, the house was still relatively new. There was a moon door on the side. She walked in and saw a small courtyard. There was a back door in the yard, and when she opened the back door, she saw a creek.

The environment here is really to her liking.

She pictured in her mind the beautiful scenery of planting flowers and bamboos under the courtyard wall, facing the creek in the distance.

Zhong Jiuchou always paid attention to Shaotang's expression. Seeing that she was overjoyed, he also became happy.

After walking around the shop twice, Shaotang's excitement gradually calmed down.

"How much did you spend to buy this shop?" she asked Zhong Jiuchou, who was always following her.

Zhong Jiuchou glanced at Shura behind him, and the Shura reported a number.

Shaotang took a breath: "You paid too much."

Zhong Jiuchou nodded, and he agreed with her statement.

"However, Cui Da has worked hard here all his life. It doesn't matter if you give him a little more. Not everyone is happy now."

If Shaotang was the one doing this deal, she would lower the price by 10%. Even this price is considered high in Qianmen Town.

However, thinking that because he wanted to buy Cui Da's store, he would be imprisoned, Jiuchou finally paid this high price, which was considered compensation.

Shaotang gritted his teeth: "I will pay you back the money."

In the end, the spring breeze filled my face and my face was suddenly filled with thunder and rain.
