Chapter 37
"At that time, spread a piece of hemp cloth under the tree by the field and put some toys for him to play with. We will watch while we work, and nothing will happen. At worst, we will come back early today." Gu Datian is very experienced and authentic. His younger siblings were all brought up by him, and he didn't think it was a problem at all.

Seeing that Gu Xiaobei was still hesitant, Gu Sanlin persuaded: "Little sister, the elder brother and the second brother are right, we must be very busy going out on the street this time, and it will be inconvenient for Xiaobao to cry at that time, so why not give it to the elder brother and the second brother?" Take it with you."

Seeing the confidence of his brothers, Gu Xiaobei also felt that he was worrying too much, kissed Xiaobao in his arms, and said reluctantly: "Xiaobao should be good at home, and my sister will bring you delicious food for fun when she comes back from the street. of."

"Giggle." The five-month-old Xiaobao couldn't speak yet, but Gu Xiaobei couldn't help giggling when he was tickled by kisses.

When the three elder brothers saw this admiration, they all laughed in unison.

Gu Xiaobei handed Xiaobao to Gu Datian, and then followed Gu Sanlin into the city in a carriage.

Before I heard that Gu Xiaobei was going to open a restaurant in the city, when Gu Sanlin went to sell porridge, he paid special attention to the rental situation of shops on various streets, and took a fancy to a shop that was both cheap and in a good location.So when he arrived in the city, Gu Sanlin followed Gu Xiaobei to the shop directly.

After arriving at the shop and getting off the car, Gu Xiaobei looked around. This shop is a tea house with two floors, at the corner of a small street.

Although it is going to be rented out, it is still operating. It seems that it wants to make a fortune before renting out.Gu Xiaobei's lips curled slightly. A real businessman would not easily let go of the opportunity to make money. The owner of this teahouse should also be a person who is good at business.

Gu Xiaobei and Sanlin went into the shop to explain their intention to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper hurriedly invited the shopkeeper over.

The owner is Zhang Xin, a man in his thirties.After some questioning, Gu Xiaobei and the others found out that he rented this teahouse from someone else, and the lease term will not expire until five years later, but now the store owner wants to sublet it out because they don't want to do the teahouse business any more.

"The location of this shop is not bad, and the business will be booming at that time. I won't ask you for a penny. I will sublease it to you at the original price of ten taels of silver per month, but there is one condition, that is, you can buy it at [-]% of the price. All the tables and chairs in my teahouse." Zhang Xin said.

It turned out to be a bundle deal!Gu Xiaobei took a look at the tables and chairs in the teahouse, they were all square and simple tables and chairs, which were completely different from the tables and chairs he wanted, and he was thinking about renting these tables and chairs in the shop.

Calculated, the monthly rent for the five years will only increase by two hundred copper coins, which is not much, but Gu Xiaobei still pretends to be very unhappy and said: "I may not be able to use these tables in the future. Isn't it for nothing that I bought them for nothing? spent money?"

"How about [-]% of the tables and chairs?" Seeing Gu Xiaobei's brows slightly frowned, Zhang Xin asked hastily.

"No, [-]% is still too much. I'll buy this table and chair at [-]% of the original price. If you don't want to, we can find another one. Anyway, there are plenty of shops." After Gu Xiaobei finished speaking, he pulled Gu Sanlin and wanted to go out.

"Hey, don't leave, I agree." Zhang Xin hurriedly hugged them.

Gu Xiaobei and Gu Sanlin looked at each other and smiled, then turned around and said to Zhang Xin with a smile: "Since we have reached an agreement, your store will not be able to open from tomorrow, and I will start to renovate tomorrow."

"Of course, after signing the contract today, the store will be owned by you tomorrow." Zhang Xin said hastily.

"I don't agree!" At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw that the person who entered the door was a good-looking young man dressed in a fine purple silk brocade robe and a dark purple jade crown on his head, but with a stern expression on his face, as if someone owed him money.

"Master Zhou?" Zhang Xin asked in surprise.

That Young Master Zhou didn't even look at him, but turned around and said to the tall and lithe young girl who was following him, "Is it them?"

"Exactly." The girl stared at Gu Xiaobei brothers and sisters coldly, her eyes were full of hatred.

"Zhu Mei?" Gu Sanlin opened his mouth wide in shock.

"Third brother, do you know her?" Gu Xiaobei asked hurriedly.

Gu Sanlin nodded: "She is Zhu Jiang's eldest daughter."

"What a coincidence?" Gu Xiaobei narrowed his eyes slightly, it seemed that the visitor was not kind!

"Zhang Xin, since you don't run this teahouse anymore, you should let my family take it back. Why do you rent it to such a person casually?" Zhou Liang said coldly.

Gu Xiaobei's face turned cold instantly, he stared straight into Zhou Liang's eyes, and said sharply, "What kind of person is this? You made it clear!"

"Of course it's a woman like you who wants no man and is vicious!" Zhou Liang didn't pay attention to the brothers and sisters of the Gu family at all.

Some guests who were drinking tea in the teahouse heard the words, they all looked at Gu Xiaobei, whispered to each other, and talked a lot.

Gu Xiaobei gritted his teeth with anger, and sneered: "First of all, whether I have a man has nothing to do with you, please don't meddle in other people's business; secondly, if you say that I am vicious, there are proofs, otherwise it is slander!"

"How dare you say I'm a dog! You want to die, don't you?" Zhou Liang was so angry that he pointed at Gu Xiaobei's door.

"I'm just making a metaphor, and please show proof!" Gu Xiaobei vigorously clapped the hands in front of him.

Seeing that Gu Xiaobei was still calm under his raging anger, Zhou Liang frowned, and snorted coldly: "You want evidence, okay, I'll give it to you! It's said that beating a dog depends on the owner, and Zhu Mei is me." Deli maid, if you bully her, you bully me, and if you bully her family, you bully me, and anyone who bullies me is a vicious person, and I will not make it easy for him!"

Hearing these words, everyone rolled their eyes straight away, nothing could be more preposterous than this!

Gu Sanlin next to him knew in his heart that no one in his family knew this young master Zhou who seemed to be from a rich family, and it was even more impossible to have any grudges against him. Zhu Mei must have instigated him to take revenge on their brothers and sisters, so he suppressed his anger and explained: : "Young master, are you mistaken? We didn't bully their Zhu family, it was their Zhu family who bullied us first."

"My lord never makes mistakes!" Zhou Liang never thought that he would be wrong, let alone think that he would be wrong too.

"Your county government has already found out that it was her Zhu Mei's father, Zhu Jiang, who murdered me first, and their Zhu family bullied our brother and sister. Don't you mean that our parents, the magistrate, made a mistake? How about we go together Go to the county government office and ask the magistrate if he made a mistake?" Gu Xiaobei wanted to go out while talking.

"Do you want to offend the county magistrate this week?" "It's a big deal to question the county magistrate's unclear investigation!"

Zhou Liang became anxious immediately, and hurriedly stopped her: "That's not what I meant, just treat it as my mistake." After speaking, he gave Zhu Mei a hard look: "It's you, the maid, who lied to me!" Ya has already found out about this matter. It was the Zhu family who bullied the Gu family brothers and sisters first, and this girl dared to deceive him!He almost offended the magistrate.
