Chapter 65
Zi Yan's eyes widened, not daring to put the person in front of her with that down-and-out scholar.

But if you look closely, you can find similarities between the two.

For example, both hands are slender, with distinct joints, and there is a tear mole in the corner of the eye.

"I just went to take a shower and change clothes." The man cupped his hands: "My name is Shen Congwen, I don't know your name."

It was only then that Ma Lan realized that she was in men's clothing, stood up and cupped her hands: "Ma Lan."

The scholar didn't understand and quickly explained: "The one who embraced the moon for nine days."

The scholar nodded, and went to the inn next door to order food and wine to discuss with Ma Lan about the inn.

Seeing Malan looking at him, he lowered his head a little bit embarrassed.

He is going to sell this inn, so how can he keep the workers.

He has been hungry for three days, and he is afraid that he will have no strength if he does not eat.

"100 taels, how about buying your inn?"

According to Jiangnan's prices, her price is not low.

Ma Lan thought for a while and added: "Brother Shen can live here until he is nominated on the gold list, and he won't take any money."

100 taels is more, more or less, if you don't save, you can spend it soon.

Ma Lan didn't want to beg for such a handsome guy, so he added this sentence.

After all, if you are a scholar, it would be good to be an accountant at that time.

Shen Congwen didn't expect Ma Lan to say that, he was stunned and then said, "I'll sell this inn to you, how about you letting me be the shopkeeper?"

Malan froze in place.

She really didn't believe that a scholar could do a good job in business.

Otherwise, he would not be reduced to selling his ancestral property to collect travel expenses.

"Be an accountant, you must be good at accounting after reading books."

Knowing that Ma Lan had concerns, he didn't force him: "Give me three months, if there are results, you can let me be the shopkeeper, and get half of the inn's profits every year, if not..."

He paused for a moment, and became a little more determined: "I don't want any money from this inn, I will give it to you, Young Master."

"it is good!"

The two parties immediately signed the paper and wrote the deed.

The decoration in the inn does not need to be changed, and it can be opened after a little tidying up.

As for the inn's special dishes, she had a hard time.

Shen Congwen is a son who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, and he doesn't know how to cook at all.

"I have a friend who cooks well, do you want to try it?"

Shen Congwen strongly recommended this cook, and Ma Lan was unfamiliar with the place here, so he nodded in agreement.

Maybe the cooking skills are really good.

Before leaving, she left another 20 taels of silver for him to recruit.

After a busy day, Ma Lan didn't even mention Qin Zhi.

I wasn't in a bad mood either, it was a pleasure to drag the two of them around.

The sky gradually darkened, Qin Da feared that something might happen and wanted Ma Lan to go back.

Ma Lan was unwilling, because the nightlife in Jiangnan had just begun.

Her outfit was really not suitable, so she went back and changed back to her daughter's outfit.

She doesn't like women's buns, the heavy buns make people uncomfortable, just like when they were unmarried, let the hair fall down.

"Madam is so beautiful."

Qin Da liked this lady more and more, and was amazed when he saw her eyes.

The madam's bun is very old-fashioned, as if she is ten years older, and if she changes into a girl's hairstyle, the aura of the madam will come back.

"Thank you for the compliment, you are beautiful too."

Ma Lan winked at her, and the three of them went out happily.

After crossing the water alley, we arrived at the bustling Wupao boat last night.

It still took 500 taels to go down to Lanling, and the three of them sat on the boat to listen to the opera.

Today's order is The Legend of the White Snake, and Zi Yan's eyes are red when she sings that the White Lady is flooding the Jinshan Temple.

Qin Da also had a sore nose, as if he was about to cry in the next second.

Qin Zhihuan has been in Zhizhou Mansion all day today.

Master Zhizhou Zhang Hui is busy tracking down the assassin from last night.

Qin Zhihuan began to look at the files of the Sima family.

A day passed.

Mr. Zhang did not find any trace of the assassin, and Qin Zhi also had no clue about the case of Sima's family.

After a busy day with no results, Qin Zhi's face was rarely darkened.

When Master Sun saw it, he started to rattle in his heart, he was so nervous.

Immediately winking with the people next to him, it was still those people from yesterday.

Liu Rufeng didn't come today and rested at home for a whole day.

At this moment, he is most energetic: "Master Qin is tired after a busy day, why don't we go have some wine and relax?"

Qin Zhi never saved Liu Rufeng's face.

Putting down the file in his hand, he stood up and said, "Tomorrow will continue."

Master Sun breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly gave Liu Rufeng a thumbs up.

After all, there are people in the court who are good at handling things.

After leaving, a group of people came to Chunlou again.

The girl who served yesterday has changed a lot.

His appearance and beauty are not inferior to yesterday's, and he is even more gentle and pleasant.

Qin Er waited at the door for a while, planning to settle yesterday's money first, only then did he know that the money had already been settled.

Ma'am, there is no maid.

Probably Qin Da.

The attic behind him was feasting and feasting, and the music was endless.

Thinking of what Ziyan said to her today, it was the first time that she felt guilty after following her master to Chunlou for so many years.

After hesitating at the door for a while, he still bravely pushed the door open.

"Finished?"

Qin Zhi was still staring at the wine in the glass in a daze: "Who made it?"

Qin Er immediately said: "Mom doesn't know who it is, she just says it's a girl."

"Go and see."

Qin Zhi also gestured to Liu Rufeng, turned around and took Qin Er out.

When Hualou's mother saw Qin Zhi, it was like seeing the God of Wealth, and she immediately smiled.

"Master, do you have an order?"

"Who settled the bill today."

"A little girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with delicate features."

My mother said while recalling: "I was a little shy, and I left without saying a word."

"It sounds like Qin Da." Qin Er leaned close to Qin Zhihuan and said in a low voice.

Zi Yan is twenty this year, older than his wife and Qin Da.

The lights in the south of the Yangtze River are brilliant at night, and the night without the moon is as bright as white porridge.

Qin Zhihuan's carriage came back earlier than yesterday, and the carriage rattled along the road.

After a while, we arrived at Yuelai Inn, where the lights were brightly lit like daytime.

The proprietress brought out the special dishes with a smile: "You are also lucky to have such a good wife.

I specifically told me that I will let you taste the Jiangnan-style wine and dishes without a meal. "

Before the words were finished, all the servants of the Hou Mansion who came with him nodded in praise.

"That's the marriage that our Marquis personally asked for, and the girls were not willing to marry at first."

"Yo, what's going on." The other person answered, his eyes full of desire for gossip.

"Look at our Marquis, he is cold-faced towards everyone and has a bad reputation. Few in the capital are willing to see him.

Mrs. Hou is different. She is good-looking and capable. She is also knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous. Why did such a good girl marry Lord Hou. "

"Why?" Everyone asked behind them, and the one who spoke didn't pretend to be a joke but said in a low voice: "Master Hou must have used some shady means, otherwise why would Madam marry him?"

Everyone in Hou Mansion nodded one after another, absolutely right.

"That's right, it's the first time I saw me who went to the brothel less than a month or two after we got married."

"That means Madam has a good temper and can bear it, otherwise she would have reconciled with Lord Hou long ago."

The master and servant stood at the door and heard the conversation verbatim.

When the cold wind blows at night, Qin Er feels a little cold.

Seeing Qin Zhi returning the kraft paper bag in his hand, he didn't dare to speak at all.

From the bottom of his heart, he felt that those inside were right.

The master has indeed gone too far...
