Chapter 60
Su Jiu and Chang Huan went out of Ji Mansion all the way, Ah Shu was already waiting at the door with the carriage, and when the two got into the carriage, they drank the horse and drove away.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped on the bustling Yong'an Street in Shengjing, and when Su Jiu came down again, she had already turned into a handsome young man.

Looking up, I saw a facade without a signboard in front of me, the wooden door was half open, and the windows on both sides were tightly closed.

Su Jiu looked back at the bustling pedestrians behind her. The location of this shop is indeed good.

Joan opened the door and walked out, smiling, "Here comes the boss!"

"Thank you!" Su Jiu nodded and walked into the store.

After entering, I saw that the inner hall is very spacious, with upper and lower floors, but the tables and chairs are a little worn out, and the walls are black, which is a pity for such a good place.

Su Jiu walked upstairs along the wooden ladder and asked, "How much money do you want?"

"One thousand five hundred taels!" Joan replied, and continued, "I have inquired, and the prices of shops of similar size on this street are all above one thousand eight hundred taels. The previous owner of this shop is eager to sell, and the storefront It is dilapidated and needs to be renovated, so the last 500 taels will be negotiated!"

There was 1000 taels of silver in Su Jiu's dowry, and if he pawned some jewelry and jade, he could also take out 500 taels.

"I went to Xieyang Street in the morning. There is also a profit of more than 200 taels in the tavern. If you share it, you can share 100 taels with us. I plan to use this to decorate the store."

Su Jiu nodded, "Okay!"

Several people went up to the second floor. The second floor was supposed to be a private room, but it was very dirty everywhere. Hu Dapao was instructing a few servants to clean it.

"I inquired about it and found that the shop was doing well in the past. Later, the owner became obsessed with gambling and didn't care to take care of it, which turned a good shop into what it is now. Hurry up!" Joan explained.

Seeing them coming up, Hu Dapao came over and said with a simple smile, "The boss!"

Su Jiu patted him on the shoulder, and inspected the second floor, only to see that there are many windows on the second floor, but they are separated from the private room, so the whole second floor looks dark and depressing.

Su Jiu looked at the crowd on the street through the window, and said back, "I demolished all the elegant rooms, repainted the walls, and replaced all the tables and chairs with new ones."

"Okay, everything is up to you!" Joan said with a smile.

"By the way!" Su Jiu suddenly remembered something, and said, "Master An, Ah Shu, do you still remember the old beggar in Liujia Village?"

Qiao An thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Master Jiu is talking about that old beggar who can roast beggar's chicken?"

The old beggar didn't know where he came from, and he didn't know how old he was. Anyway, he already had a white beard. When Su Jiu was young, he stayed in Liujia Village, and he is still there now. Everyone in ten miles and eight villages knows this old beggar. It is because of his beggar chicken.

If there is one that is not too dirty, let him roast a chicken, and everyone in the village will drool.

"Yes, it's him! Our shop is so big, it's really not enough to only sell beef pot, but we can add a few more signature dishes, and the beggar's chicken will definitely make people's eyes shine!"

Qiao An nodded in agreement, but frowned and said, "It's just that I don't know if the old beggar is willing to leave Liujia Village and enter the city? How about this? In the afternoon, Da Pao and I will go out of the city and go back to Yuhu Mountain to find the old beggar. .”

"Okay, but if he refuses, don't let the cannon be forced!"

"I see!"

Afterwards, the few people discussed the layout of the store again, because there was another store, everyone was a little excited, imagining that the business in the store would be booming in the future, and each talked endlessly.

Until noon, Qiao An and Hu Dapao stayed in the shop, while Su Jiu, Changhuan and Dashu drove the carriage away.

After finally getting out, Su Jiu planned to go to the tavern on Xieyang Street.

There seemed to be some excitement ahead, people were blocking half the street, Ah Shu drove the car and waited for a while and saw that the crowd was still there, wanted to turn around and take another road, but found that the back road was also blocked.

It is said that two carriages collided with each other, and they were all dignitaries in Beijing. They each called their own people, and they fought hard.

After waiting for two sticks of incense, seeing that the sun had already risen, Su Jiu sang empty city tricks, opened the curtain and saw that there was a bun seller outside, and planned to go out and buy some buns for Ah Shu and Chang Huan to fill their stomachs when they came back.

Asking Ah Shu and Chang Huan to wait, Su Jiu jumped out of the car to buy buns.

Many people surrounded the steamed stuffed bun stand, Su Jiu was about to squeeze in when she heard a brisk voice from behind shout,
"Su Jiu!"

Su Jiu turned around and saw Nangong Bi standing behind him, and said with a happy smile, "Why are you here?"

Behind Nangong Bi stood Nangong Shu, who nodded slightly at her.

Su Jiu smiled, "Buy buns!"

"Don't buy it, my brother and I just happened to be invited to dinner, let's go together!" Nangong Bi pointed to the nearby restaurant.

Su Jiu turned her head to look, and saw a three-story restaurant next to it, with flags waving, and people coming and going in front of the door.

Su Jiu smiled stupidly, "What should I do if someone invites you to dinner?"

"Let's go together!" Nangong Bi came up and grabbed Su Jiu's arm, and said coquettishly, "It's just a few people sitting together drinking and eating, it's boring, you just go and talk with me!"

Nangong Shu looked over with handsome eyes, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Su, if you have nothing to do, let's go together. It's just a very ordinary gathering. It just so happens that Mr. Su just arrived in Shengjing, so I'd like to introduce some friends to you!"

Su Jiu rolled her eyes and nodded lightly, "Alright! Then wait for me!"

After finishing speaking, Su Jiu turned around and bought a few steamed buns, returned to the carriage and gave the steamed stuffed buns to Chang Huan and the others, and told them to go to the tavern to wait for her if they were in the road.

Chang Huan and A Shu both nodded yes.

Su Jiu returned to the restaurant, and walked into the restaurant with the Nangong brothers and sisters.

It was mealtime, and there were already many people sitting in the lobby of the restaurant. Xiao Er saw that Nan Gong and the two were dressed in extraordinary clothes, and immediately stepped forward with a flattering smile, "How many are here! Can you make an appointment?"

Nangong Bi nodded, and asked crisply, "Where is Prince Liang?"

"So it's Shi Ziye's guest, please go upstairs!" Xiao Er nodded and bowed to lead the way.

After going up to the elegant room on the third floor, Xiaoer stopped outside a room marked Xuemei Pavilion, and said with a smile on his face, "Please come in, everyone, this is it!"

Nangong Shu pushed the door open and entered, a gust of fragrant wind and the melodious sound of silk and bamboo came over the face immediately.

The room is spacious, with gauze brocade, screen and incense burner, and famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. The decoration is extremely comfortable and luxurious.

At this time, there were already four or five people in the room, two men in brocade robes were sitting at the table listening to music, one was drinking, and a man in black brocade robes was sitting on a low couch by the window with his back to the door, playing chess alone.

Across a beaded curtain, two singers in the side room were playing the qin and singing softly while holding the pipa.

The melody is melodious, a luxurious and decadent sound.

The Nangong brothers and sisters brought Su Jiuyi in, they immediately turned their heads to look over, stood up to greet them, and said with a smile,
"Brother Nangong, I've been waiting for a long time!"

"Miss Nangong is here too, long time no see!"

"This young man is so handsome. I've never seen him before. Brother Nangong won't introduce me yet."

Nangong Shu nodded lightly, pointed at a man in a pink and blue robe with a handsome face, and said to Su Jiu, "This is the son of Liang Guogong, Liang Shizi!"

Pointing to another man in a pea blue brocade robe with narrow eyes and thick lips, "This is Mr. Yu San from the House of Minister of the Household Department!"

"This General Wei!"

As Su Jiu listened all the way, she was slightly startled that they were all dignitaries in the court.

That's right, Nangong Shu was originally the general of Zhenxi, and the people he met were naturally noble sons of the court.

"This Mr. Su just entered Beijing, and everyone will take care of him!" Nan Gongshu pointed at Su Jiudao.

Su Jiu cupped his hands, "It's a great honor for Su Jiusan to know you all!"

She also learned a few of these elegant words in Joanna.

As if hearing her voice, the person who had been sitting on the low couch paused his chess hand, and turned his head suddenly, just in time to see the girl's smiling face.

Still wearing the man's attire, with high hair, specially drawn eyebrows, clear eyes, delicate and heroic, like a handsome young man.

The man narrowed his eyes and slowly stood up.

Su Jiu only noticed the man by the window at this moment, and was taken aback for a moment.

Subconsciously want to escape.

How did you meet him here?
It's really a narrow road to Yuanjia!
