MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 261 clue

  Although she knew that her master could not enter the urn, she still wanted to know why these Jianghu people targeted her master.

  The two went shopping to collect information and then went to their store.

  The Qin family was copied in that year, and the rest of the property except Jitian was confiscated. Except for the books and classics in the family, which were entrusted to friends by Qin Xinfang in advance, the rest were returned to the state treasury.

Fifteen years later, only a small part of those fields are still under the name of the government, and the rest have been sold, not to mention the shops. Back then, the emperor could not listen to the affairs of the Qin family, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs could not control the place. They are all rented out, and the government only collects some rent every year.

   Now that the Qin family has been rehabilitated, the confiscated property is to be returned by the emperor, and the local officials will use the confiscated pamphlet from the official field, or buy some to make up the sum and return it to them.

   And the shop is simpler, just take the shop back.

   But it has been rented out this year, and they won't have the ownership and right to use the shop until next year.

  Although the late emperor decreed to return it according to the order, how could it be possible to return all the copied items?

The things in the shop, gold, silver, and fields were all lost, but the Qin family didn't care about them, and they were satisfied that they could be rehabilitated. As long as the people were still there, and the Qin family's book collection was still there, they would not be discouraged or resentful. .

  Gu Jingyun also just looked at the location of each shop, the business and the flow of people, so as to determine what business their family was going to do after the shop was taken back.

The job was not difficult, so the young couple were shopping while doing research. When Li Baolu turned into another bustling street, she had an oiled paper bag in her hand. She picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake and took a bite. Gu Jingyun took a sip.

  Gu Jingyun leaned in and took a bite, nodded and said, "Yes, you can have some for supper at night."

  The two entered a flourishing silk and satin shop as they walked. This shop was also owned by their Qin family.

  Li Baolu looked at the large pavement and the street where people came and went, and nodded with satisfaction, "This location is good, but if you don't do business, the rent for one year is quite a lot."

   heard her words, looked back at the young couple, and said with a smile, "You two want to rent a shop? It's not easy to rent on this street, and no one will take action."

  Li Baolu asked enthusiastically, "The shops on this street are very popular?"

"This is one of the two most prosperous streets in our Kaifeng Mansion. Do you think it will be popular? As soon as a shop is vacant, there will be a lot of people who will come to rent it with money." Humanity: "Once the lease is rented, as long as the business is not going to continue, the lease will not be returned. For example, this silk and satin farm has been opened for thirteen years. How many people are eager to open the lease again when the prefect is replaced, but No one can grab the Zheng family. It's not because the Zheng family rented this shop from the beginning."

   The smile on Li Baolu's face was faint, "Is that Mr. Zheng who is about to celebrate his fiftieth birthday?"

"It's not that one." The man slapped his thigh and said, "Master Zheng is rich, and he can invite so many people to come here on his birthday. It is said that the Zhengjiabao will open its doors on that day and hold a running water banquet for ten days. No matter who it is, as long as you go there, you will have food, and such lavishness is not something ordinary people can do."

"It's really not an ordinary person." Li Baolu said thoughtfully. They went to three shops, all of which were rented by the Zheng family. They had not suspected them before because the two shops were not only on the same street, but also diagonally opposite. , the Zheng family is also a wealthy person who deserves a name from Kaifeng.

   But this is the third one, and...

  Li Baolu looked up at the plaque of the silk and satin house, and felt that this would not be the last house.

  Gu Jingyun's eyes were light, and he turned around and said, "Let's go, ask in another place."

  The man thought that they really wanted to rent a shop, so he kindly said: "You might as well go to another few streets to see, maybe there is a vacant shop."

   Gu Jingyun smiled and thanked him, "Let's go look for it."

  The two of them were not in the mood to go shopping any more, so Erlin went back to drive the carriage, and the two of them went to the next shop first.

   Waiting for Erlin to drive the carriage, a group of three people sat on the carriage and completed the estimated two-day workload in one day.

  There are seven shops in the Qin Family in Kaifeng Mansion, four of which are in good road sections, and three shops are either very small or in remote sections with little traffic.

However, five of the seven were rented by the Zheng family. The remaining two shops, one at the corner of a small street, are quite spacious, but the traffic is small. The tenant's surname is Huang. They were fortunate enough to rent the next shop to open a teahouse. They went in and sat for a while and then inquired about it. The business of the teahouse was not much. Although it did not lose money, it did not make much money. This was because the rent required by the government was low.

Such a big shop, two floors up and down, only 5 taels a month, and the silk and satin shop they looked at just now, Li Baolu asked, about the same size shop on that street, the rent is only 300 taels a month, or is there any There is no money to rent, so you can see the difference between the two.

   The other shop, which was also rented by relatives in the yamen, was very small, with only more than 40 square meters. It was a grocery store, and the business was also not very good.

   These two companies are very easy to recover. They don’t earn much, and they don’t dare to oppose the yamen, so it shouldn’t be difficult to recover.

   But the five shops rented by the Zheng family...

  Gu Jingyun said: "Go back to see Zigui, he should be back when he visited the prefect."

Zhao Ning not only came back, he also finished the homework that Gu Jingyun had left for him, "As soon as the post was handed in, Sun Zhifu met me in person, and said that he was going to visit Mr. tomorrow, but the student declined, saying that Mr. I will entertain him in Zhaoxianlou."

"Very good." Gu Jingyun and Sun Zhifu are on the same level, and they are both fourth-rank officials. At the same level, Beijing officials are more noble than local officials, but Sun Zhifu is his parent's official. In the future, the Qin family will rely on him to take care of him in Runing. It is most suitable for him to come to entertain the other party.

  Li Baolu found the hat in the depths of the box and changed her clothes. Only then did she turn around in front of Gu Jingyun with a graceful figure and asked, "Do you look like a heroine?"

  Gu Jingyun looked her up and down, nodded and said, "Yes, but it's obviously unreasonable for a teenage girl to go out alone."

  Li Baolu rolled her eyes and went back to the inner room to rummage through the box to find a set of clothes for Gu Jingyun, as well as a black men's hat.

   After Gu Jingyun put it on, he walked out and Zhao Ning's eyes were straight. He shook his mouth and asked, "Sir, Mistress, what are you doing?"

  Li Baolu: "Change clothes."

   "What are you doing to change clothes?"

  Li Baolu smiled, winked at him and said, "Of course, I'm going to do something that will shake the world and cry ghosts and gods."

  Gu Jingyun slapped her on the head, "Don't scare children."

  Gu Jingyun turned to Zhao Ning and said, "We just want to hide our identities and go out to play."

   Zhao Ning looked at his wife and then at his husband, and decisively turned around and went back to his room to read. He didn't understand the world of young people. Forget it, he couldn't compare to the two of them in terms of intelligence or force, so why bother?

  The two waited until it was dark before leaving the inn quietly. The reason why they said quietly was because they walked from the roof.

  Li Baolu jumped off the roof with Gu Jingyun in his arms and landed in a dark and narrow alley. Gu Jingyun adjusted his clothes before going out wearing a hat.

   They wandered around for a long time today and inquired about news in restaurants and teahouses, but at first glance they were not from Jianghu, so no one was willing to pay attention to them.

   After listening to the gossip all morning, everything is said, but few people mention the purpose and reason of this birthday banquet.

  Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu almost doubted the authenticity of the news that morning.

   So there is no way, they can only go to restaurants and teahouses as "Jianghu people" and walk again.

   After hesitating between the teahouse and the restaurant, Li Baolu chose the restaurant decisively. Most people who like to drink like to talk, and most people who like to talk like to leak.

  Li Baolu walked into the restaurant and taught Gu Jingyun, "You shouldn't learn from them to drink in the future, it's uncomfortable and stinky, you don't feel well, others don't feel well, and it's not good for your body."

  Gu Jingyun walked on her left side without a chaotic footstep, as if the object of her long-windedness was not herself.

   In order to make them look like Jianghu people, Li Baolu also took her long dwarf and pinned it to Gu Jingyun's waist. There was no way they had neither a knife nor a sword, so they could only use this as a weapon.

  Although Gu Jingyun didn't understand how a Xiao became a weapon, it was obvious that Jianghu people liked it.

The two chose a restaurant that looked very lively and went in. As soon as they entered, Gu Jingyun was in a trance. There were people sitting on the tables in the lobby. There were swords or knives on the tables. There were all kinds of weapons. It was very noisy. , Obviously everyone is from the rivers and lakes.

   As soon as Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu came in, the eyes of the people from all corners of the world were either open or secretive, and when it was clear that they were two small and thin young men, they all retracted their gazes.

   Now the Kaifeng House is very chaotic, many people from all corners of the world are running here, just wanting a piece of the pie, even such a small child dares to come and join in the fun, it's really desperate.

   Little Er hurried up to meet him and asked with a smile, "The two guest officers are drinking? Can you reserve a seat?"

  Li Baolu glanced at the lobby, slightly disappointed, "Is there no place here?"

  Xiao Er looked embarrassed, "The lobby is full, and there are only a few tables on the second floor..."

   "Then go to the second floor."

  Xiao Er suddenly looked happy, "Two guest officers, please."

The second floor is also very noisy, but it is much better than the lobby. Everyone sits on chairs and chats in twos and threes. There are also several tables to drink together. However, everyone is more polite than the people downstairs. The most important thing is that there are many girls on the second floor. , are also girls with swords.

It was the first time that Li Baolu saw women heroes, and she couldn't help but look at them. Seeing them sitting in chairs, drinking and chatting lively, calmly, or quietly, she couldn't help but sigh that Concubine Lan's restraint on women seemed to affect women in Jianghu. The impact is not great.

At least they can walk around the world with swords, eat and drink at the same table with men without wearing a hat, she even saw a little girl's foot stomping on another man's foot, and both sides kept silent. Sitting down, more than ten moves were instantly passed under his feet.

   Li Baolu's eyes widened, and she instantly felt that she had entered the world of swordsmen from a scholarly family.

   Seeing her walking, Gu Jingyun stopped moving, feeling helpless, he could only turn around and hold the person, followed Xiao Er to find a table and sit down.
