Chapter 114

Back at the Seventh Wife's house, the little girl still kept the posture they left, tilting her head and hugging the pillars of the veranda.

Her bones are weak and she can't walk too much. When she moves in a hurry, she breaks out in cold sweats and forgets things easily. Over time, she develops the habit of staying in one place for a whole day.

"Ninny!" Seventh Granny touched her granddaughter's little face distressedly, "Grandma will make you some medicine, we won't feel bad after drinking the medicine!"

Holding her little butt in one hand and protecting her back with the other, Qi Po wanted to carry her granddaughter to the back room to decoct medicine.

Helplessly, the seventh lady was already old, and she gasped for breath after a few steps in her arms.

Xiao Ruo stepped forward to take the little girl from Qi Po's arms, and said, "Let me carry it, Po Po, it's inconvenient for you to take the medicine."

From today's getting along, we can see that Qi Po is a strong one, saying that it is inconvenient will make her feel better than not being able to hug her.

The little girl is very obedient, even if Xiaoruo is a stranger she just met today, she will obediently lean on Xiaoruo's shoulder without crying or fussing.

Seventh Po sighed, as a well-know person, of course she knew that Xiaoruo was out of concern for her own face, so she found an excuse to help her hold her granddaughter.

Seeing Xiaoruo hugging her granddaughter lightly, walking steadily and familiarly in the front, Qi Po followed with a complicated mood, carrying the medicine bag.

After some decoction, the thick concoction is filled into a small bowl.

The little girl was used to drinking the smelly and bitter soup every day, she didn't need to be coaxed, she held the bowl in her little hand consciously, and gulped it all down.

After finishing the drink, Xiaozui tilted his head and said to his grandma, "Grandma, today's medicine doesn't smell bad."

Seventh Po took a candied almond from the cupboard and stuffed it for her to relieve the bitter taste in her mouth, "The medicine from now on won't stink anymore, my daughter is so good."

After a while, the properties of the medicine came up, and the little girl rubbed her eyes and felt sleepy.Qipo asked Xiaoruo to wait for her in the west wing first, and she settled her granddaughter in the east wing and fell asleep before returning to the west wing.

"Girl, sit down."

After a day of tossing and tossing, Qipo was more polite to Xiaoruo, and she even took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Xiaoruo, although the tea was cold.

Xiao Ruo didn't mind whether the tea was cold or hot after taking the teacup and drank it down in one gulp, she was thirsty.

The seventh woman walked to the bed of Luohan with waist, took out the white booklet from the small drawer below, flicked through a few pages, returned to the table, and handed the opened booklet to Xiaoruo.

"Starting from this page, the back is full of shops that have no customers. Take a look."

Xiaoruo took it and read it page by page, the more she looked at it, the more her heart sank.

There are two connected shops on the west side of Yiwufang, with a monthly rent of 8 taels.

The monthly rent for a single-room shop on South Street in Salesian Square is 12 taels.

The monthly rent for a single store on the second floor of Hu Yulou along the street is 10 taels.

……

After reading more than a dozen pages in a row, the monthly rent for the worst and cheapest shops starts at ten thousand taels.

Xiaoruo understood why Qi Po would bluntly say that she couldn't afford to rent a shop in Dongshi when she saw her.

Closing the white booklet, Xiaoruo sighed, the old house in the house was empty, and the rent would not last long.

The seventh lady sipped the cool tea, her eyes kept observing Xiaoruo's expression.

When her shoulders slumped and her face showed disappointment, Qi Po said, "Girl, there are no cheap shops in Dongshi. What kind of business do you want to make a living? Generally, it might be more suitable to open a business in Xishi. I have a shop in Xishi that I know well." The paving toothman..."

Kindness is kindness, business is business, even if Xiaoruo helped her a lot today, she would not make a loss-making business.

Xiaoruo smiled wryly: "The business I want to do really has to be in the East Market, and few customers in the West Market will come to buy."

A piece of top-grade Cordyceps costs 800 taels, which is not affordable for ordinary people in Yingzhou, where the per capita income level is higher.

Tapping her fingers on the table, Qi Po pondered for a while and asked, "Then what is your estimated monthly rent?"

Knowing that Qi Po's words meant making things for her, Xiao Ruo said bluntly: "Grandma, let me tell you the truth, it's not that I can't afford to rent the shops listed in this brochure for a year or two at a low price, it's just what I want to do." Trading is a long-term business, one year or two is not enough.”

Unexpectedly, the girl in front of her was thinking of buying a shop in Dongshi, Qi Po was secretly startled, she had such a big appetite!

After thinking about it for a while, Qi Po really thought that a shop might be suitable, but she didn't know if this girl had the guts...

"Miss, I think you act decisively. You are a big businessman, but I don't know if you are afraid of ghosts?" Seventh Possessed and said.

Afraid of ghosts?She, Captain Xiao, has never been afraid before. What a ghost, she can call out the real fire of Samadhi on the spot and burn it to death.

With a smile on her face, Xiaoruo poured herself another glass of water and said while drinking, "There's nothing so scary about ghosts. Humans are much scarier than ghosts."

Under the skin of a ghost is a ghost, but under the skin of a human is not necessarily a human.

The girl in front of me has such insights at such a young age, Qi Po nodded with satisfaction, "Well, I have owned a shop for a long time, do you want to hear it?"

Xiaoruo put down the teacup and tilted her head to show her that she was listening attentively.

"This shop is on the north side of Fugui Building. It is the front of Zhuque Street. It is a shop, but there is a warehouse behind it. It is transparent from north to south. Opposite is Yiwufang. There are people coming and going. It is a good location."

"The original owner's friend was an official in the imperial court before. I won't say who he was. He committed a taboo and was dismissed, and his family property was confiscated. Only this shop under the name of the friend was spared. "

"The official wife who is an official asked the original owner of the shop to return the shop to his family. If the original owner refused, the two started arguing."

"The original owner of the shop was afraid that the shop would still be robbed one day, so he came to me to make a deed, handed over the keys, and entrusted me to sell the shop."

"I didn't expect that not long after, the woman hanged herself in the shop for some reason. Afterwards, people often said that there was whimpering and crying in that shop at night."

"The regular wife also came to ask me to ask for it a few times, but I have the deed, even if she makes trouble in the Yamen, she can't get anything good, and gradually stopped coming."

"The shop has been passed around by people, and it has become a terrible ghost shop. It has been so many years, no one cares about it, and the door has been locked."

"Anyway, the original owner is gone, the deed has been signed, and the key is here. If you dare to take this ghost shop girl, you can give me 5 taels of silver as the storage fee and commission for the past few years. I will give it to you." You can."

5 taels of silver can be bought in a shop along the street in Dongshi. To Xiaoruo, this is simply pie in the sky. She even helped her arrange the dishes and cut them, which is just short of feeding her mouth.

She nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Qi Po, thank you!"

"Thank you, I won't be able to lay eggs in the ghost shop. You have the courage and ability to sell it to you, and I can easily sell it to you."

Strike while the iron is hot, the two made an appointment to visit the shop together tomorrow, and if Xiao Ruo is satisfied, they can directly pay the money and transfer the ownership.
