Chapter 166 A Good Idea
When Shi'an returned to Jiuquli, he saw two people standing in front of his house. When he got closer, he saw that Cong Tou and a young apprentice were hanging the door plaque.

Qingyu and Hongtao stood in the alley, looking at whether the door plaque was crooked or off.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Qingyu turned her head to look, and shouted "Brother" with a smile.Onion, who was hanging the door plaque, also turned around, greeted with a smile, and continued to work with the little apprentice.

Hongtao turned her head to look, and saw Shi'an was carrying a cloth bag, and hurriedly walked forward, "Bring something nice back."

Qing Yu followed suit.Hongtao pulled open the bag, saw a bunch of cute little yellow things, and immediately grabbed one in surprise, "Is this the bookkeeper who is engaged in rewarding?"

Shi'an smiled slightly: "I would like to call it fortune-telling."

Heart flipped through it, and found a hosta and a post, and took it out with both hands, "What is this?"

"The hairpin was sent by the State Shepherd's Mansion. The post says the fortune-telling schedule for this year."

Qing Yu took the post and opened it to see that from June to February next year, they were all lined up, but only one name was written on each month.

Hongtao leaned over to take a look, full of doubts: "You only count as one person per month?"

Shi'an smiled and nodded: "One person is enough." No matter how many, it is not rare.

Hongtao looked at the gold in her hand again, "One person gets one gold?"

"There are twenty gold pieces here, half of which is supposed to be given by Bo Cao, and the other half is given by another person. Counting one person, it should be ten gold pieces." Qing Yu said.

Shi An nodded again: "Not bad."

Hearts opened their mouths with joy, ten gold, one hundred taels, and this post has been scheduled until February next year, doesn't this mean that they will still have a monthly income of one hundred taels.

"Brother, you, you, you. Sure enough, you still have the same demeanor." Heart said "you" for a long time, and praised.

Cong Tou was surprised and envious when he heard these words, his little apprentice was obviously still a little confused, as if he felt that he had heard wrong, he looked at Cong Tou.Congtou smiled, comforting himself in his heart, everyone has his own life, no one else cares, he just needs to do his own thing well.

"Hang it up, take a look." Congtou jumped off the stool, stood a little farther to look, and nodded very satisfied with his handicraft.

Qingyu Shi'an and Heart also stood a little further away.Qing Yu looked at the seven flamboyant characters, her face was a little hot, she nodded indiscriminately, "Very good."

Onion sighed with a smile, "This is the widest door plaque I have ever made."

Shi'an looked at Qingyu with a smile, "This name is really good, it won our hearts deeply."

"Hey, young masters and ladies, today is busy."

While admiring the door plaque, a sound came from the entrance of the alley.They turned their heads and saw that it was Qian Er Er who walked into the alley with a well-dressed couple.

Shi'an bowed his hands and said hello, "Hang up a door plaque."

Qian Er Er brought the guests to the door, stared at the door plaque for a few times, and praised with a smile: "Good writing, good writing. The name is also unique." Take the usual way.

Hongtao asked curiously: "Are you taking them to see the house? Are you afraid of being haunted?"

Qian Laoer laughed stiffly, "The Feng Shui environment here is not bad, and the price is not expensive. As for the haunted talk, that's just a rumor."

Then he turned to the two guests and said: "This is the house of the owner of the Shange Pavilion, which has been in the limelight recently, and I bought the house through my hands."

The husband and wife were a little surprised. The owner of the mountain pavilion was recently rumored to be in the inner city, and they had heard about it. Thinking that the owner of the mountain pavilion lived here, the suspicion about the previous hauntings in the hearts of the husband and wife also disappeared. It has faded a lot.

Seeing that Hongtao seems to have something to say, Er Er Qian hurriedly said to the two guests: "Let's go, let's go in and look at the house. The house is still cheap now, eight taels a month, and it will definitely rise to thirteen taels in a while. , this is a rare opportunity.”

After all, the husband and wife only heard the rumors, but what they actually saw was that the hutong was full of vitality, and the trees were shady and beautiful. It was really pleasant.

What's more, there were several children in front of him, and everything seemed so ordinary, so he followed Qian Laoer into a house expectantly.

Hongtao thought for a while, and said to Qingyu and Shi'an, "I'll go and have a look. You guys go back first."

"Sister." Qing Yu called her and made a silent gesture.

"I know." Hong Tao smiled and pulled the corner of her mouth, and followed Qian's second child.

Qingyu shook his head helplessly, settled wages with Congtou, and said to Congtou: "We still have one thing that you need to do, but... let's sit and chat in the room, you have to look at it before we talk about it."

Congtou was overjoyed, and hurriedly said hello, carried the tools on his back, followed Qingyu and Shi'an into the courtyard with his little apprentice.

When the group came to the main room, Shi'an poured water for Cong Tou and his young apprentice, while Qingyu entered the room, and came out with two blueprints after a while.

"I painted in the morning when I had nothing to do." Qingyu said to Shi'an.He put the drawing in front of Onion and asked, "Can you do this?"

Congtou immediately studied the blueprint carefully, but the more he looked at it, the more startled he became. After a while, he opened his mouth, embarrassed and unsure, "I haven't done it, so I'm not sure if I am"

"It doesn't matter. The salary is easy to negotiate, and we need it urgently. The Guan Wang meeting will be used next month. My idea is, you might as well go back to your master and ask him to see if you two can do it together."

When Cong Tou was reminded, he immediately laughed, "There is a master here, so I should be able to try it. That's fine, I'll go to my master now." Then he folded the blueprint carefully and put it in his breast pocket.

"Also, these 30 taels are a deposit." Qing Yu took out the 30 taels of silver that had been prepared in advance and handed it to Cong Tou.

Congtou was startled, "Miss, I..." He really didn't know what to say, since he set up his own business, Qingyu's family had given him a lot of business. Opportunity, and trust in him, really moved him.

"You deserve it, and it's only a month. You must have other tasks on hand, but I'm asking too much." Qing Yu said in relief.

"Where are you, Miss, you are welcome." Congtou was no longer shy, carefully put the money into his pocket, and then said seriously: "I will go to my master right away, don't worry, miss, I will send my apprentice to pass the message to you immediately if there is a result." .”

After sending Cong Tou and his little apprentice out, Qing Yu said to Shi An: "I have been thinking for the past two days, how can I not lose face at the King Guan meeting.

Fortunately, what we know is still novel in this world, so I came up with this idea.Considering that we don't have much time, I didn't have time to discuss it with you guys. I will talk to Elder Sister when she comes back in the evening. "

Shi'an said affirmatively, "Your idea is never wrong. I think Eldest Sister is waiting for you to make up your mind."

Qingyu smiled, took out the account book, recorded all recent income and expenses, and then put Shi'an's 20 taels of gold into Xuannv Hall.

As soon as all this was done, Heart came back, and she was overjoyed when she entered the door: "Qian Lao Er said that our house has now risen to 270 taels, and it will rise to more than 300 taels in a few days. I'm afraid it will take less than two months." It can be restored to 400 taels, master sister, we have made a lot of money this time."

Qing Yu smiled and shook her head, "Everything needs a balance, and nothing can be done one-sidedly."

Hongtao picked her chin, and asked Shi'an again: "Then do you still go to set up a stall? Really only once a month?"

"Things are rare and precious, and since this rule has been established, naturally it cannot be broken." Shi'an looked at Hongtao: "If you are free and have nothing to do, you can also sit at my stall."
