Jiaohua

Chapter 636
Hengxiang has been expanded in the past few years, and it is in the season of joyful vegetation. The city is full of beauty, the streets are lush, and the streets are crowded with people. The sight is a prosperity that has rarely been seen in these years.

When Xia Zhaoyi entered the city, she first asked Zhi Changle to inquire about the most prosperous inns in the city. After checking in, she took two calligraphy and paintings from before her death and gave them to old man Qi, and asked Old Tong to accompany him to sell them. She took two pieces of jewelry from the mountain. , to find another seller.

She didn't ask for a high price, as long as it was close to the estimated price in her heart, but the buyer was very bold and offered a price that was twice as high as her estimated price.

The two pieces of jewelry were easily exchanged for cash, and when there was still time, she took Zhi Changle to stroll along the street to see if there were any shops that wanted to change hands.

Passing by the gate of Dongping Academy, it is still dominated by the Four Treasures of Study. There are indeed several shops that are about to be sold. Xia Zhaoyi went in to talk.

What the teahouse is talking about is the battle of Youzhou Congxin.

Song Zhiyi flooded Weiping's mansion, the number of casualties changed from thousands to nearly ten thousand, tens of thousands were displaced, refugees fled everywhere, and many refugees fled to Hengxiang.

The storyteller scolded dryly, and the audience was furious. Zhi Changle felt sad when he heard it. He saw with his own eyes how miserable those densely packed corpses floated in the river.

An exquisite and luxurious sedan chair came from behind.

The followers outside saw Zhi Changle, who was the biggest in the crowd, and were overjoyed. After asking for instructions softly with the middle-aged man in the sedan chair, he raised his feet and walked away: "Strong man!"

Zhi Changle turned around and clasped his fists with his entourage: "A strong man, we met again. Come to think of it, isn't this a coincidence."

Zhi Changle looked at him: "It's just a chance meeting, what's the matter with you?"

The entourage smiled: "Heroes of strong men are peerless, mighty and brave, and they will be friends with each other when they see each other. Let me ask, who doesn't like to associate with heroes?"

Zhi Changle looked down at himself, smiled and said, "Really mighty?"

"It's really mighty." The follower gave a thumbs up.

Zhi Changle blushed from the praise and scratched his neck: "It's easy to say, easy to say."

"Strong man, may I ask where he is from?"

Zhi Changle looked at the sedan chair parked behind, regained his composure, frowned and said, "Why do you ask this?"

"Don't misunderstand the strong man. I just think that a strong and brave person like a strong man should make a big difference in this troubled world. How can a man be mediocre if he stands upright?"

Zhi Changle waved his hand: "Let's go."

At this time, the storyteller in the teahouse made another case, and just as he was talking about something exciting, the audience was in an uproar, scolding Song Zhiyi.

"It's really embarrassing," the entourage sighed, "This Song Zhiyi is really a villain! The common people suffer and suffer, and they are displaced. Human life is as cheap as grass, it's a pity!"

Zhi Changle felt distressed, nodded and said: "The common people only ask for a mouthful of food and clothing, this damn thing, living is an extravagant hope."

"That's right! A strong man, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. A good man should serve the country and the people, and help the world! You were born so strong, and you were born to be a man of meritorious deeds! Isn’t it exciting to have blood? Isn’t it majestic? Don’t strong men have the slightest yearning for it?”

Zhi Changle: "..."

Unexpectedly, it was really said that he was full of enthusiasm, and his limbs seemed to be full of energy.

Zhi Changle looked at the sedan chair parked over there again, and couldn't help saying: "Who is sitting in that sedan chair?"

The entourage smiled and stepped forward and said, "He is someone who can help you achieve great things! It's hard to say who you are on this street. If a strong man is interested, you can find us at the Guiyuan Inn on Linxi Street tomorrow evening. This is a rare opportunity, don't miss it."

Zhi Changle nodded: "Yes."

The entourage clasped their hands together and said, "Farewell."

Zhi Changle watched them walk away, his heart still beating fast in his chest, he raised his hand to touch, paused, then turned to look for Xia Zhaoyi.

This Wenfang is not big, Xia Zhaoyi and the shopkeeper were sitting on chairs, their conversation stopped because of the conversation outside.

The shopkeeper's eyes were stunned, and there seemed to be tears faintly, and there was resentment and hatred for the world in his chest, and he didn't know how to express it.

Xia Zhaoyi held a teacup and drank slowly. Seeing Zhi Changle coming in, he said, "It's settled. From now on, this store will be ours, and the land deed will be transferred to us."

Zhi Chang's words changed into: "Wow!"

He turned his head and looked around, the Wenfang is not big, but it is bright and clean, full of the smell of books, the tables and chairs are very elegantly arranged, the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall are exquisitely framed, and the lamp holders are all elegant one by one.

"Great, this shop." Zhi Changle said sincerely.

The shopkeeper came back to his senses, stood up and said, "Yes, I'm going to get a pen and paper now."

This place is no better than Youzizhuang, the transfer procedures of the store and the title deed are not easy to handle, and you have to go to the yamen a few times, but the shopkeeper said that he has connections and will complete it within two days.

This shop is considered to be bought, but the guy here is the shopkeeper's apprentice, and he will leave with the shopkeeper, so Xia Zhaoyi has to recruit a shopkeeper and a buddy.

She immediately wrote the recruitment in the pen and ink of the store, and posted it outside, replacing the notice of store transfer.

The shopkeeper raised his brows when he saw the word, "It's really a coincidence that the word girl is so similar to me."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "Coincidentally, it really looks like one."

The shopkeeper looked at the notice and was shocked, turned his head away, and then formally looked at the girl.

When I first saw her, I was amazed by her beautiful appearance and temperament, but beauties are everywhere, and in business, appearance can be pushed aside.

As for buying the shop, I'm not surprised. Hengxiang has a Mrs. Zhao, so it's nothing for a woman to do business and buy a shop.

But this handwriting, I have to say absolutely.

He didn't believe that the girl's handwriting would be exactly the same as his. The name that was signed on the contract just now was not written in this way.

It's not that there are people who imitate other people's handwriting, the shopkeeper himself knows some, but he needs time, and imitates word by word, but the girl in front of him...

The shopkeeper looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. Although they were all made by him, there were not many words. Besides, it was the contract just now and the notice that was just torn off.

"Girl," the shopkeeper's voice trembled, "Your master."

He didn't even have the temper to blame the other party for imitating his own handwriting, and he was only satisfied with capital letters.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "Don't be so shopkeeper, it just happens to be the same, the rest of the shop will be left to the shopkeeper, I'll come back tomorrow."

The shopkeeper clapped his hands: "It's easy to say, girl."

Xia Zhaoyi led Zhi Changle away, passed by the gate of Dongping Academy, and happened to meet a few gentlemen who were in a hurry and took a few students out, and got into three carriages not far away.

Two of the gentlemen, whom Xia Zhaoyi still knew, were Mr. Qiu and Mr. Dahan.

"I don't know what it is," Zhi Changle said, "walking in such a hurry."

　Thank you Hua Ah Li for your reward~~!
