There were only four people in a big house, so it still felt uncomfortable. So, early in the morning, I arranged for Dazhu to recruit people. I was also preparing to go out. Before I left, Peach Blossom insisted on following me. I originally wanted her to stay and take care of my mother, but she smiled and said," Miss, aren't you afraid that I'll steal everything?”I laughed when I heard this. I actually didn't think of this. However, she really could steal it and run away. It seemed that she knew how to repay kindness. That was good.
He decided to bring her out while her mother was still sleeping. He hoped that her mother would get better soon.
Along the way, he saw people coming and going. They were all whispering to each other. He didn't know what they were talking about. Along the way, he thought that everyone was discussing something.
When he saw two people walking over, he walked up and asked," Big Brother, I want to ask. On the way here, everyone seemed to be discussing something. Is there something wrong?”
"You're a foreigner who just arrived, right?”" One of them asked. I nodded, and he continued," You might not know this, but that young master from Mu Clan likes to gamble. He lost all the assets his father left him before he died, and he even lost his only restaurant. Sigh, now the people from the gambling den want the restaurant, and the shogunate is arguing over there if they don't agree to it.?”
"Oh, I see." I replied. So he's a prodigal. He's really not worthy of pity.
"Yeah, and I heard that Mu Clan's first lady is adamant about not agreeing to it, so she's making a fuss over there.”The man shook his head and sighed." If there's nothing else, we'll leave."”
"Okay, thank you." I smiled as I sent them off, but when I turned around, I realized that Peach Blossom was a little surprised. I nudged her and asked," What's wrong with you?”
"Miss, that…should we go and take a look?”Peach Blossom said hesitantly. She could tell that something was wrong with her, so she agreed to her request.
When we arrived there, we saw a woman crying and making a scene. A man was standing at the side, trying to persuade her. There were also a few burly men standing around the audience.
It seemed that she was the First Madam of the shogunate, and next to her was the Eldest Young Master. These burly men were here to ask for the restaurant. Sigh, this restaurant was not bad. It was quite big. What a pity.
"No, you can't tear down this restaurant.”The woman shouted, but the men ignored her." Madam Mu, you're making things difficult for us. Your son has already lost this restaurant to our master. Of course, we can do whatever we want with it. How can you make things difficult for us?"”
"I don't care. You're not allowed to demolish it. I can compensate you. Tell me, how much is it?”As Mrs. Mu spoke, she fought for a glimmer of hope. It seemed that she treasured this restaurant very much. I shook my head and looked at Peach Blossom. I wanted to ask her to leave, but I realized that she was also staring at the restaurant, feeling a little sad.
I asked in a low voice," Peach Blossom, what's wrong? Did something happen?" She came back to her senses and looked at me. She slowly said," Miss, actually, this restaurant belongs to my father. Although he doesn't love me, he has worked hard for it for a long time. I just don't want to see it destroyed."”
"Your father? Could this be your Eldest Aunt and Eldest Brother?”I pointed at the two of them and said in surprise. What a coincidence to actually meet them. However, looking around, there was only this restaurant and there were stalls beside it. If I opened a tea house here, it should be pretty good.
" So what do you want to do?" I asked to see if she was thinking the same thing as me, or if she just wanted to keep the only thing that belonged to her father.
"Miss, why don't you buy it? " Aren't you looking for a shop to set up a teahouse? I think this place is not bad. Moreover, there are many people here, and business will be good…" As she spoke, her voice became softer and softer. Sigh, forget it, help her. Her father was heartless, so she couldn't be heartless. After all, he was personally involved.
I thought I heard that it was 500 taels, so I brought 1000 taels. 500 taels to buy this, and 500 taels should be able to make something else.
"Wait." Seeing those men push Mrs. Mu away, I walked over and suddenly missed the men around me. At this moment, I regretted so much. It was not good to have no men around. Looking at such a tall man, I prayed for myself.
"Miss, what's the matter?”One of the strong men asked me. I was a little scared by his stare. I hesitated and said," Well, who is your master? I want to talk to him about something."
"Our master? Our master is Zhao Shun, Master Zhao. What do you want to talk about?”He asked me what to talk about, but could you not stare at me? I was afraid, so I mustered up my courage and said," It's not worth it for you to destroy this restaurant. Why don't I buy it from your Old Master Zhao? Your master can also have 500 taels.”
My words caused the people around me to be surprised. They all started whispering to each other. Some of them asked me who I was, some said I was really capable, and there were too many things. The people from Mu Clan looked at me in disbelief, and Peach Blossom walked to stand beside me. When they saw me, they were even more surprised.?
"Miss, please wait a moment. I'll go and invite our master over for you now.”The burly man left after he finished speaking, leaving the other two men behind. I felt too tired looking at this situation, so I walked to Madam Mu's side." Madam, I think we're both a little tired. Why don't we go in and sit down and wait for Master to come over?"”
Mrs. Mu looked at me, then at Peach Blossom. She thought for a long time before replying," Alright, please come in."”
She walked in and looked at the restaurant. It was very big and could indeed be modified into a teahouse or a living room. She walked around and sat down at a table. Mrs. Mu did not sit but stood instead.
"Why are you here?" The eldest young master of the Mu family was the first to speak. He looked at Peach Blossom and asked, but Peach Blossom didn't dare to speak. She lowered her head and didn't say anything. It seemed that he was the one who had to say it.
"Young Master, Peach Blossom is my maid. What do you want? Do you know her?" I asked with some disdain in my eyes. He looked at me and wanted to say something, but his mother stopped him. He held back his words and I smiled." Hehe, it seems that you know my servant girl."”
"Miss, Peach Blossom is our master's youngest daughter.”Mrs. Mu spat out these words coldly. She really had the demeanor of a madam. She said these words without batting an eyelid and even said that she was her master's daughter. She was really not afraid of losing face.
"Hehe, is that so?" I smiled as I turned to Peach Blossom and asked," Peach Blossom, is that true?”
Peach Blossom was stunned for a moment. She looked at me and said," Miss, Peach Blossom forgot to mention it.”I turned to look at Mrs. Mu. She looked a little embarrassed.
Just like that, it was quiet. Peach Blossom walked over and poured a cup of tea for me. I slowly drank the tea and waited for the old master to come over. Meanwhile, Mrs. Mu and her son kept staring at Peach Blossom and me. Sigh, are we being looked down upon just because we're women? Seriously, if I had known earlier, I would have dressed up as a man so that I wouldn't be looked down upon by others.
The two men at the door suddenly came in and stood on both sides. The brawny man also came back. Beside him stood an older man with a fierce face. It seemed that he was Master Zhao.
"Who wants to buy this restaurant from me?”Old Master Zhao asked as soon as he entered. I stood up and smiled," It's me.”
He looked at me and his eyes darted around me. He felt uncomfortable looking at me and asked first," May I ask how I can buy this restaurant?”
I wasn't the only one who was concerned when she said this. Madam Mu and Young Master Mu, who were beside her, were also concerned. Peach Blossom was also staring at her, but Old Master Zhao smiled and sat down at the table." Miss, you want to buy this restaurant?"”
"Yes, is there anything wrong?" I asked. Buying a restaurant to make a tea house was convenient for survival. He had to support himself. Otherwise, could he just sit there and wait for the mountain to empty?
"Mhm, it's nothing. It's just that Miss, do you have that much money?”Old Master Zhao looked at me and said. It seemed that he didn't believe me very much. I smiled and looked at him and said," Don't worry. Name a price."”
"Hehe, a straightforward person will not beat around the bush. Young Master Mu owes me 500 taels of silver to mortgage this restaurant. As long as you give me 500 taels of silver, this restaurant will be yours.”He laughed and took out the property rights of the tavern. It had Young Master Mu's signature and signature. It seemed good. Five hundred taels was still acceptable.
"No." Before I could speak, Madam Mu had already interrupted me. She turned to look at her, not knowing what she wanted to say. She stood up and said loudly," This restaurant is not allowed to sell.”
When she said that, Old Master Zhao laughed. I also wanted to laugh when I saw it. It was not her place to say whether to sell or not. This restaurant no longer belonged to her. How ridiculous.
"Mrs. Mu, do you think you still have the right to say that you're not selling this restaurant?”Old Master Zhao looked at her and said. Mrs. Mu didn't know what to say. I stood up too." Mrs. Mu, if you have the money to buy this restaurant, I won't say anything. But if you don't have the money, then I can only buy it."”
"You…" "Madam Mu, don't be angry. I don't have the final say. After all, this restaurant doesn't belong to you anymore.”I looked at her and smiled. Her son lowered his head, but she had nothing to say. She just sighed.
"En, since this young lady is interested in this restaurant, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll give you 450 taels immediately.”Old Master Zhao smiled. I touched my body and realized that I didn't bring any money. I could only say a little embarrassedly," Old Master Zhao, what do you think? Come back with me to get the money. I don't have so much on me now.”
"Mhm, that's good too." Old Master Zhao replied, then turned to look at the two people beside the burly man." You guys stay here and wait for us to come back."”
Just like that, we left this place. Old Master Zhao brought the brawny man with him. The four of them walked home. I wonder how the search for Dazhu's people is going.
On the way, Old Master Zhao asked about some things. I only said that I came from other places and wanted to do business. Then, I thought that the restaurant was not bad and wanted to buy it. He asked me why I was alone here, but I smiled and said that my family was out of town and would not be back for the time being. I had something to deal with, so I came back with the servant girls and servants.
Along the way, Old Master Zhao was really cautious. He asked a lot of questions, but in the end, he still believed me. Then, we went to my residence. After entering, I realized that Dazhu had already returned.
"Miss, you're back?" Dazhu saw me walking over and saw Old Master Zhao behind me. He looked at me in confusion and asked," These two are?”
"Oh, this is Old Master Zhao. He accompanied me back to get money. I bought a restaurant.”I looked at him and said as I walked," Master Zhao, wait for me in the hall. I'll go get the money. Peach Blossom, go pour some tea for Master Zhao."”He turned to Peach Blossom and left the hall for his room.
Four hundred and fifty taels. That would not leave much money. This money was saved by himself and given by Yin Xi before he left. He did not know how long he could use it. After buying a house and a restaurant, there was only some left. Speaking of Yinxi, she didn't know how he was doing. Did Yinzhen believe her? Was Mother sad? Would Yinxiang be sad again? She was most worried about him. He was too unsettling. Forget it, I've already left. Don't think about it anymore. When things settle down, when they really treat me as a dead person, I'll go and tell Yinhuan that I'm safe.
"Master Zhao, here is 450 taels.”I walked over and showed him the money. He looked at it and gave me the title deed of the restaurant. He smiled and said," Miss, that restaurant is yours from now on.”
" Hehe…" I smiled and didn't say anything. Old Master Zhao looked at me and said," Since I've already received the money, I'll leave. You can go to the restaurant and accept it at any time."”
"Mhm, take care, Old Master Zhao." As I spoke, I sent him to the door. Seeing him leave, I heaved a sigh of relief." I finally bought it.”
Peach Blossom and Dazhu stared at me. I smiled and walked in.
