There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 288, renting a shop (a more)
"Haunted house?" Luo Cheng was taken aback. He sneered and said, "Mr. Liu, is this shop a haunted house? Are you renting out a haunted house?"

Member Liu was also taken aback when he heard the word "Haunted House".

It was broken, but I still didn't hide it.

"Nonsense, how could this shop be a haunted house? I don't agree with your slander and slander." Member Liu flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.

"Mr. Liu, am I talking nonsense? Let's go and ask the people nearby." Li Jiaoniang crossed her arms and looked at Yuanwai Liu for the rest of her life.

Member Liu thought to himself, this little lady is so cunning, she actually asked about it?
That is unbearable.

He snorted embarrassingly, "That's the nonsense of the other family. It's just that one of the previous tenants' business was so good that he provoked his colleagues. The colleague deliberately spread rumors that the place was haunted, and deliberately made troubles in the middle of the night. The tenants couldn't, I had no choice but to move away. This haunted thing spread like this."

Li Jiaoniang narrowed her eyes, "Mr. Liu, isn't it that simple?"

Member Liu spread his hands, "I want to rent out the shop, why should I talk nonsense?"

Li Jiaoniang frowned, "Wait a minute, I'll ask my officer." She pulled down Luo Cheng's sleeve, "Brother Luo Cheng, do we want to rent?"

While talking, she winked at Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng sleeps with her every day, but he still doesn't know how little she thinks?
"No rent for haunted ones, not to mention it's so expensive." He took Li Jiaoniang's hand, "Let's go."

"Good."

The two turned and walked out.

Member Liu was in a hurry, and hurriedly called to the two of them, "You two, please stay, please stay, the price is easy to negotiate."

"It's haunted, unless you don't stay in the shop at night and don't open a shop, in that case, how much business can I get from opening a shop?" Li Jiaoniang shook her head, "It's not worth it, don't want it."

"Let's look elsewhere." Luo Cheng said.

"Good."

"Hey, then tell me, how much rent do you pay a year before you are willing to rent?" Yuanwai Liu hurriedly ran two steps to stop them.

The two stopped.

Li Jiaoniang looked at Luo Cheng, "Brother Luo Cheng, we don't have enough money right now. This shop is too big, and the shopkeeper may not give up much. Let's find a small shop to rent."

"Okay." Luo Cheng nodded.

"The small shop won't do business if you rent it, so it's not worth it for you to rent it." Member Liu waved his hands.

"Your shop is haunted by ghosts, so there is no business." Li Jiaoniang snorted softly.

Member Liu rubbed his forehead, "Well, let's say [-] guan a year, I used to rent [-] guan a year, and the shops around here need [-] guan a year."

Luo Cheng looked at Li Jiaoniang and asked with his eyes.

Li Jiaoniang still shook her head, "It's still too expensive, if you only charge four hundred guan, I'll rent it."

Liu Yuanwai's small triangular eyes suddenly widened, "Four...four hundred? The smallest shop on this street is more than four hundred! The one half smaller than mine costs six hundred." For a year."

Li Jiaoniang snorted, "But Mr. Liu, on this street, only your shop is haunted."

Luo Cheng took Li Jiaoniang's hand, bypassed Liu Yuanwai and continued to walk outside, "Jiaoniang, we don't have enough money, so we can only rent a shop of [-] yuan a year, which is too expensive to afford."

"Oh, that's what you said. Let's go and look elsewhere."

Liu Yuanwai gritted his teeth: "Wait a minute, well, four hundred guan is just four hundred guan. But you have to pay in one lump sum, one hand of money, one hand of keys, without delay for a day."

Li Jiaoniang raised her eyebrows and looked at Luo Cheng, "Brother Luo Cheng, let's rent it? Let's do business first and then we'll talk about it."

"No, then sublet it." Luo Cheng said.

"it is good."

Luo Cheng turned around and said to Liu Yuanwai, "Then please trouble Liu Yuanwai to write a contract, and we will sign the agreement."

"It's easy to say, just wait."

Member Liu went to a corner of the room, unlocked a cabinet, and took out the written agreement.

His shop has been empty for two months.

There are quite a few people who come to see the shop, several of them every day, but no one is willing to rent it.

He was dying of anxiety, and the whole family lived by renting a shop.

In order to rent it out quickly, he put the agreement in the shop.

Not only the agreement, but also the red ink pad for fingerprinting, pen and ink, and blank paper.

Just in case you make a mistake, you can change it.

Li Jiaoniang looked at how anxious he was, and felt amused in her heart, if she knew this, she would chop dozens more.

The agreement is in triplicate, one for the landlord Liu Yuanwai, one for the lessee Li Jiaoniang Luo Cheng, and the other one to be sent to Fangzheng.

Yuezhou City University is divided into several large workshops.

Each square is divided into several streets and alleys, and each square is managed by a ninth-rank official in charge of public security and taxation.

After the agreement between the two parties was completed, they went to Fangzheng's place together.

Fangzheng saw the agreement and asked Luo Cheng what business they were doing, and reminded them, "Private sales of rice, grain, salt and tea are not allowed. Other businesses are free."

The salt, tea, and rice grains sold in the shop are all purchased from the government, so who dares to sell them privately?

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Open a medical clinic."

"Medical clinic, sure." Fang Zheng signed and sealed.

I kept one copy for the record, and returned the other two to Yuanwai Liu.

After the two parties returned to the shop, Li Jiaoniang took out the [-]-column silver note she had with her and gave it to Yuanwai Liu.

Liu Yuanwai gave the key and another agreement, "Okay, this shop will be handed over to you."

He said something about paying attention to the candlelight, and then left with satisfaction.

Li Jiaoniang held the key and said with a smile, "It's worth renting such a big shop for four hundred yuan." She looked at the shop, "There are three rooms on the first floor, one is dedicated to storing medicinal materials, one is for medical treatment, and the middle The room is for the reception. Upstairs, let’s live. There are three rooms, one for you, one for me, and one for the guest room.”

Luo Cheng hummed softly in his heart, one room per person?
Think beautiful!
He also looked around, "Jiaoniang, I'm going to come here tonight to see what kind of 'ghost' it is, making this place uneasy."

He doesn't believe in ghosts.

It's just a hint in the human heart.

Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

"I'm coming too." Li Jiaoniang blinked and said excitedly.

Luo Cheng shook his head, "You don't want to come, just stay at Lu's house."

Li Jiaoniang pursed her lips and snorted softly, "When did you see that I was timid? If you don't let me come, I will come by myself."

Luo Cheng shook his head helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll bring you here."

This shop was haunted, Li Jiaoniang was the first to know about it, even if he didn't tell him about the haunting, she would come to see it quietly.

Her curiosity has always been great.

It was getting late, the two closed the shop, locked the door, and returned to Lu's house in a carriage.

……

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng eat dinner at Mrs. Lu's every day.

Today is no exception.

Luo Cheng didn't want to go, but they lived in Lu's house, even if they didn't eat, they still had to go to greet them sooner or later.

When Old Madam Lu saw Luo Cheng coming, she just shook her head and didn't say anything about Luo Cheng leaving the Chen family without saying goodbye.

Li Jiaoniang didn't even know what happened.

After dinner, Li Jiaoniang talked about the shop she rented.

"Grandmother, brother Luo Cheng and I have bought a shop, and we will move in in two days. But don't worry, I will go back to Lu's house to see you when I am free."

The old lady Lu looked at Luo Cheng in surprise, "You...you still want to do business? This business..." She sighed a long time, "The status of a businessman is low, and the children of aristocratic families disdain to do business."

"I don't like taking exams, and I never thought about becoming an official. I think doing business is good." Luo Cheng said.

"Old lady, if they don't do business, what do they rely on for a living? They are businessmen in the first place, so they can't sit still." Tang said.

But she was contemptuous in her heart, a businessman, who still wants to associate with her son?

laugh--

The old lady Lu said in a deep voice, "Luo Cheng, if you are short of money, go tell Mr. Chen, and he will take you to Lin'an. Any official position is better than doing business!"

"We are not short of money, we just want to start a career." Luo Cheng said, "Jiao Niang loves medical skills, we open a medical clinic, we have income, and we can realize our dreams, killing two birds with one stone."

"Career...career?" Mrs. Lu looked at the two of them, and took a long time to catch her breath. She waved her hand, "That's all, it's up to you."

"Thank you, cousin and grandmother, for your understanding." Luo Cheng stood up and bowed to the old lady Lu.

understand?She can't understand it at all!But Luo Cheng was too stubborn.Mrs. Lu is also not the same.

She said, "You are in Yuezhou City. You don't have any acquaintances. If you encounter trouble in the future, don't hide and bear it. Just tell me. The Lu family still has some friends in Yuezhou City."

"Understood, cousin and grandmother." Li Jiaoniang also said with a smile.

She stood up and returned the salute with Luo Cheng.

The two talked with Mrs. Lu for a while, and then left.

Tang shi smiled at this time, "Old lady, Luo Cheng's temperament is not suitable for an official at all, why do you force it?"

The old lady Lu looked at her coldly, "Why is Luo Cheng so bad-tempered? Isn't he qualified to be an official? I think you are prejudiced!"

Tang Corporation was stunned and had nothing to say.

She held back her anger, and said in a sly voice, "It's getting late, old lady, you should go to rest earlier, my daughter-in-law is back."

Old lady Lu didn't even look at her.

Tang shi took a look at her, turned around and left with her lips pressed together.

After walking out of Mrs. Lu's courtyard, Mrs. Zeng said, "Madam, Master Luo Biao is a guest, and the old lady prefers it. It's normal. But now, the couple will move out soon, so Madam don't need to be angry."

"It's best to move away, and the family can save some money." Tang snorted coldly. At this moment, she thought of Li Jiaoniang's horses, and said to Mrs. Zeng, "The horses on the farm, remember to call them Li Jiaoniang. If Mother pays more, she says it’s not enough!”

Madam Zeng glanced at her, "Yes."

While talking, the two walked around a rockery and met Lu You who was walking alone.

Lu You walked with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.

"Sanlang." Tang called Lu You first.

Lu You stopped and saluted Tang, "Mother."

"What's the matter with you? Why are you downcast?" Tang looked at her third son and asked dissatisfied.
