The best farmhouse

Chapter 175
"A big event will happen to the court?" Zhao Qingfeng was also surprised by Zhao Canniang's words.

Immediately, Zhao Qingfeng said with some concern: "Chan Niang has some things that cannot be said indiscriminately. If outsiders find out, they will report to the government and they will be killed."

After Zhao Qingfeng finished speaking, he looked around in fear, and was really startled by Zhao Canniang's words.

Zhao Canniang sighed: "Brother, I know the seriousness of this matter, but have you ever thought about why the Black Panther coach, General Five Tigers, and General Chang all appear in Yucheng? Aren't they all supposed to defend the border? "

Zhao Qingfeng had never thought about these words carefully before, but now Zhao Canniang reminded him, thinking about it carefully, he really felt that this matter was really too weird.

Just like what Zhao Canniang wrote, several people should be at the border, why did they all appear in Yucheng not far from the imperial palace.

"What does sister mean?" Zhao Qingfeng asked in a low voice.

Zhao Canniang raised the corners of her mouth, and then said: "I guess there is a palace change."

"Gongbian?" Zhao Qingfeng covered his mouth and looked at Zhao Canniang in surprise.

You must know that this is a huge matter, and for the people of Li, the direct impact of the palace change is an unprecedented shock, whether it is for the former dynasty or for the common people.

Zhao Canniang's face was also a little ugly. If such a thing really happened, it would definitely have an impact on the business, but put yourself in another place and smile, this is also a good time to make a fortune.

"Brother, have you ever thought that if such a thing really happened, the princes and nobles in the royal city would desperately sell the shops in their hands?"

Once the emperor and the courtiers, if there is a palace change, those princes who don't want to get involved in the dispute will definitely find a way to leave the royal city. If this is the case, the shop in their hands will definitely be sold. If it is found out who owns it, it will probably be confiscated or dealt with separately. At that time, what is more secure than holding a bank note in your arms?
What Zhao Canniang thought was a very risky path.

Because buying may also have risks.

Zhao Canniang's words made Zhao Qingfeng calm down and think about it.

If it is really what Zhao Canniang said, then this is definitely a good business.

"Canniang, I understand what you mean. You mean to go to Wangcheng to buy shops while the chaos is about to happen?" Zhao Qingfeng figured out the key point in the middle and said immediately.

Zhao Canniang nodded and then said: "I guess it won't be too easy. Think about it, there must be many people who have such an idea. What we have to do is to guard and find a way to buy those shops that we want to sell. Wait until Taiping At that time, the price of the pavement will definitely rise, and whether we do business by ourselves or sell the pavement, it will be a very profitable business.”

Zhao Qingfeng also nodded, he also thought of this point, as long as the peace comes down, he will definitely make a lot of money, but this business is a bit too risky.

"Channiang's business is a good business. The so-called wealth and wealth are sought after insurance. My brother thinks this business can be done. By the way, how much money do we have now?"

After Zhao Canniang arrived in Yucheng, Zhao Qingfeng gave the money to Zhao Canniang to manage, Zhao Qingfeng actually didn't know how much money he had.

Zhao Canniang thought for a while before answering: "It is estimated to be about 5000 taels of silver. We have earned a lot of silver over the years. The Ke family also paid us some silver for the konjac incident last time, plus our purchase of the store in the past two years The silver earned from face to face is about 5000 taels, brother, have you made up your mind?"

Zhao Canniang asked seriously.
Zhao Qingfeng nodded with a smile: "Think it over, 5000 taels is 5000 taels, I guess I can buy two or three stores, but I don't know when to start."

Zhao Qingfeng was a little worried when Zhao Canniang said this at first, but now, he still has a little hope in his heart, hoping that this thing will happen soon.

Zhao Canniang frowned, she didn't know about this matter: "I really don't know the exact time, but I guess it will be soon, look at the way the Black Panther coach and the Five Tigers are busy recently, I think brother, you have been busy lately. You can prepare a bit, and then go to Wangcheng, and leave the matter here to me."

Zhao Canniang wanted to rectify the business. The restaurant business in Yucheng was not as good as before. Many people knew that their family had a bad relationship with the Ke family.

After all, the Ke family is the tyrant of Yucheng, and many people are also very afraid of the power of the Ke family.

The restaurant business has passed the most golden moment, and now it has gradually returned to the flat, and the future business is estimated to be like this. Although it is profitable, it is not as much as before.

What Zhao Canniang thought was not to distract her energy, and to build a bigger restaurant, which would be better than filling up the streets and alleys.

She said she would not be a burden to those around her.

Seeing Zhao Canniang's thoughtful look, Zhao Qingfeng asked worriedly, "What are you thinking, Canniang?"

Zhao Canniang recovered her senses and looked at Zhao Qingfeng, then said, "Brother, I was thinking, we should change our business strategy."

Zhao Canniang looked very serious, and Zhao Qingfeng knew that every time Zhao Canniang had this look, it meant that she really had something to say.

Zhao Qingfeng also became serious: "If you have any ideas, just say them and we can discuss them."

Zhao Canniang nodded, and then said: "Brother, look at the business of our restaurant. Except for the old restaurant, the new business seems to be not as good as before. It has obviously gone downhill, and you have also seen the recent situation. Many people Knowing that we offended the Ke family, some of the old diners who had business dealings with the Ke family did not come to patronize the business. I thought this would be okay. We sold all the stores on hand and exchanged them all for silver, I remember You bought those stores, right? We don’t sell the stores, we just rent out the stores, we close the ones that are not doing well, keep our old stores, and open two more in other towns. "

Zhao Qingfeng has taken in several apprentices in the past two years, and Zhao Qingfeng treats people very well, and all of those apprentices are willing to do things under Zhao Qingfeng's hands, and there is nothing wrong with them, after all, Zhao Qingfeng is serious about choosing people. selected.

What Zhao Qingfeng is worried about now is the survival of these apprentices, because there are many families in Yucheng, he can't let everyone leave their homes for his own business!
After listening to Zhao Canniang's words, Zhao Qingfeng frowned, feeling a little bit reluctant: "Hey... your idea is a good idea, but I was thinking about those apprentices whose families are all in Yucheng, if they go to other places, they will really leave their hometowns. "

Zhao Canniang frowned, this is a problem.

"Let's think about this matter more! I also ask everyone's opinions. If you are willing to go to other places, we will sell the shop. Do you think it will work?"

Zhao Canniang spoke very seriously. Zhao Qingfeng thought about it, and then nodded his head: "Well, I will do as you said. If everyone is willing, we will sell the store. Recently, you have been with General Erhu , don’t be too far away from General Erhu, by the way, have you contacted Chen Zhongqiu recently?”

Zhao Canniang sighed and said, "I just wrote to him a few days ago, and I don't know what he's been up to lately. The letter from my mother said nothing happened. I guess something happened to the Chen family!"

"Chen Zhongqiu is a good person, sister, you have to grasp it, I believe brother, you will not regret it."

Zhao Can nodded to show that he knew.

In the early morning of the second day, Erhu went to the store. After what happened yesterday, Erhu didn't dare to be careless.

The head coach of the Black Panthers is a person who knows how to repay their kindness. Zhao Canniang helped them when they were in trouble. Now that Zhao Canniang is in trouble, they naturally want to help them.

With the help of General Two Tigers, Zhao Canniang felt much more at ease.

But the third princess was very angry at this time. After Ke Tianlin left the barracks, he didn't go to Ke's house, but went directly to Xiangfang. The third princess only found out about this, so she was naturally very angry. This was simply not letting her go. in the eye.

How could the third princess bear such contempt.

"Cui Zhu changed clothes, let's catch Ke Tianlin." The three princesses almost dripped water.

Zizhu stood aside and said with some anxiety: "Princess think twice!"

"Think twice, think twice, when will I have to think twice? What happened to the news you inquired about?" Maybe Zizhu's reminder had an effect, and the third princess was no longer angry about Ke Tianlin.

Zizhu bit her lip, and said with some anxiety: "Zhao Canniang has been rescued by the black panther coach and the five tiger generals, and Ji Zhifu is also involved in this matter. Princess Zhao Canniang, we can't move easily."

"Do I need you to teach me how to do it?" The third princess looked at Zi Zhu angrily.

Zizhu immediately shut up, knowing that she said something wrong this time.

"But the princess and concubine wrote to tell us to go back quickly."

After Zizhu finished speaking, she glanced at the third princess timidly.

Reminded by Zizhu, the three princesses remembered the big event before them.

"I don't know what happened to the queen mother this time. She told us to go back quickly. I don't need to worry about Zhao Canniang's place. As for the son-in-law...if he wants to stay here, he can stay here. I don't care about anything."

Zizhu immediately understood what the third princess meant.

"Pack up your things now, let's go back to the royal city." The third princess is also very anxious, and she is the kind of person who will do it immediately.

Zhao Canniang didn't know that the three princesses had left Yucheng, and she was worried for many days, and that day the black panther coach arrived at the restaurant in a hurry.

As soon as the black panther entered the restaurant, he walked directly to the counter, and said to Zhao Canniang who was standing inside the counter: "Channiang, I may have to leave for a while, Erhu will also leave with me."

Zhao Canniang quickly came to her senses, nodded to Black Panther and said, "Brother Black Panther, just go to work, I can handle things here myself, don't worry."

Erhu glanced at the black panther, then told Zhao Canniang, "Don't worry, you'll be fine with us."

Hearing such care, Zhao Channiang was very grateful.

At this time, the black panther coach smiled slightly and said: "Channiang, the third princess will not trouble you. I got the news that she has quietly left Yucheng long ago. Now that Ke Tianlin is in Yucheng, and the prefect of Youji is not with him. What will happen to you."

Seeing that Hei Bao is so busy and helping her inquire about these things, it is a lie if I am not grateful.

"Thank you Brother Black Panther. I feel a little sorry that you still remember my affairs after being so busy."

As soon as Zhao Canniang finished speaking, Hei Bao smiled knowingly: "Look what you said is stupid, to be honest, we don't know when we will meet each other this time, you have to take care of yourself in the future, if you still We are destined to meet again.”

Black Panther's face was a little lonely.They are all gentle men, but they are actually very soft in their hearts.

Zhao Canniang did not expect this day to come so soon, she thought it would be a long time.

"Brother Black Panther, are you leaving so soon?"

Black Panther nodded: "There are some things we can't tell you, but you will know in the future, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can go to Zhifu Ji, and if you really have something that can't be solved, you can pass it on to Feige. Shu, in the yard where we live, we keep a few carrier pigeons, and those carrier pigeons can find us, so don’t use them until the critical moment.”

Zhao Canniang bit her lip: "Brother Black Panther, are you leaving now?"

Black Panther nodded: "I'm leaving soon. I've come here specially to say goodbye to you. By the way, I'll tell you for everyone. You have to take care of yourself in the future."

Erhu sighed heavily, and said to Zhao Canniang: "Little girl, Brother Erhu, I like you like this. I recognize you as a younger sister. If you have anything to do in the future, remember to find us. You don't need to send brother off. Let's go."

Zhao Canniang looked at the two with reluctance: "You have to take care of yourselves, I want to compete with you in the future!"

Zhao Qingfeng also walked to the side of the counter at some point, with reluctance in his eyes, after getting along for such a long time, they both had some feelings for each other, and when they parted suddenly, they were very reluctant to part with each other.

"The door of our restaurant is always open to you." Zhao Qingfeng said seriously.

Black Panther stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Qingfeng's shoulder, and glanced at Zhao Canniang: "Goodbye"

After speaking, Hei Panther and Er Hu strode away.

Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng looked at each other, and they both saw reluctance in each other's eyes.

Only then did Zhao Canniang walk out of the counter and walked to the door. The backs of the two could no longer be seen on the street. Obviously, the two had gone far away.

"Sister, stop looking, go away." Zhao Qingfeng sighed.

Zhao Canniang also took a deep breath: "I didn't expect to leave so quickly, people are not prepared at all, and I really don't know if we can meet after this departure."

Zhao Qingfeng shook his head and said: "Look at the fate! If there is fate, maybe we can meet again in the future."

Zhao Canniang nodded: "Brother, are you ready?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow." Zhao Qingfeng didn't seem to give up this opportunity to make money, no matter what, this opportunity must be grasped well.

The Black Panthers left, and Zhao Canniang's mood was not very good. In fact, the Black Panthers were really righteous, not only righteous, but also very delicate in doing things. Zhao Canniang didn't spend much time with them, but she liked them very much. Get along with them.

It's really sad to leave now.

In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year.

The city of Yu began to be lively, and the streets and alleys were full of people coming and going.

Red lanterns began to be hung at the entrances of businesses on both sides of the street.

Lanterns are also hung in restaurants.

Zhao Canniang stood at the door, looking at the crowd on the street, feeling indescribably good.

It's the Chinese New Year, and you can go home after the Chinese New Year.

In fact, Zhao Canniang really misses the Qin family. She has been traveling outside for a long time, no matter how good the outside is, she still feels uneasy in her heart, and she yearns to go home even more.

On the street, a fast horse quickly crossed the street and ran towards the magistrate's mansion.

Pedestrians on the street were frightened and fled left and right. Zhao Canniang frowned as she looked at the back of the horse.

Could it be that something happened?The person on the horse just now is obviously the messenger.

Recently, everyone has felt something unusual.

The first is the army stationed outside the city. It seems that the number of officers and soldiers inside has increased. Furthermore, there are officials patrolling the streets at any time. As long as anyone who is suspicious is found, they will be arrested and brought back to the Yamen.

Zhao Canniang originally wanted to go and find out what happened, but thinking about how troublesome she was, she had no choice but to give up.

Two young men in white clothes passed by Zhao Canniang, and Zhao Canniang could hear their voices clearly.

"You know there's going to be a war," one of the men said.

"Of course I've heard about it. I also heard that the second prince wants to bring down the prince, and the previous court is not at peace."

Zhao Canniang only heard these two sentences, and the two of them had already walked away.

"War? Usurping the throne?" Zhao Canniang muttered.

But in my heart, I was thinking about how reliable these two things were.

If there is such a thing, then isn't it going to be lively right away?
Zhao Qingfeng has already gone to Wangcheng, rented a house in Wangcheng, and then inquired in the teahouse every day to collect some gossip.

I looked at a lot of shops, but I didn't find a suitable one, either because the price was high, or the location was not good, or the shop was too small.

Zhao Qingfeng was not in a hurry, and finding a suitable store was not something that happened overnight.

So for more than ten days, Zhao Qingfeng wandered around the palace, or just inquired about some gossip.

The royal city is huge, and there are too many nobles, Zhao Qingfeng carefully avoids these people.

Finally, when the end of the year was approaching, things took a turn for the better. In the royal city, many of the princes and nobles began to sell their stores bit by bit.

Yazi was the first to know about these news. During Zhao Qingfeng's time in Wangcheng, he had established relationships with many Yazi, and he promised that as long as there was news of a good shop, he would give more rewards.

So Zhao Qingfeng seized the opportunity of time, and then, Zhao Qingfeng began to let Yazi communicate with those who wanted to sell the shop.

Look at the price of the store, if the price is right, Zhao Qingfeng will negotiate with the other party in person, and then pay the money.

Zhao Qingfeng didn't have a lot of money on him, and the initial shop was not suitable for him.
