In the early summer, he slept directly until noon. Seeing that there was movement in the house, the maid knocked on the door and came in to wait for him to wash.

He looked at Duan Shui's maid and recalled her name.

"Your name is Mo Xiang?"

"Yes, servant Moxiang."

"Have you eaten, Lord Hou?"

"Not yet, and don't let us call you, keep waiting."

"Go and order Chuanshan, and tell Hou Ye, I'll be there in a while."

Mo Xiang answered her promise and withdrew.

At the beginning of Xia, dressed neatly, after washing up, he went to find Hou Ye for dinner.

As soon as they met, Lord Hou rubbed his head.

"It's lazy."

"I was tired all day yesterday, so I couldn't sleep more."

"Okay, let's have dinner." Hou Ye was not annoyed, and served him with dishes dotingly.

"By the way, what happened to the brothel?" Xia Chu asked while chewing with beef in his mouth.

"Don't take your orders to heart, let Li Xinlan buy the largest building in the capital the next day."

"Wow, it cost a lot of money, right?"

"It cost a lot, and the girls also bought it together."

"Wouldn't that work now?"

"Of course, it's in the Yixiang Building in the center of the city. Go take a look when you have time, and explain to Li Xinlan what you want to buy."

"Thank you, Dad." Xia Chu got up and served a bowl of chicken soup for Lord Hou, and asked, "How many silver taels did you spend in total?"

"You don't have to worry about it, you can still spend it for your father."

"Well, I can earn it back anyway."

"Are you really referring to the brothel as a business?"

"I don't rely on brothels, I rely on others." Xia Chu blinked and smiled slyly.

"Yes, it's a secret again."

Xia Chu gave Hou Ye a piece of chicken leg again.

"Pan this building also used a lot of contacts, right?"

"You are so clever."

"Such a good location, so many girls. It's so easy to sell."

Hou Ye nodded approvingly, "I did use some connections."

"Tell me, I have a good idea in my heart. In the future, if I pull their braids, I will still have a relationship."

Hou Ye laughed loudly: "You kid, you're really wilted."

The meal was a pleasant one, and Xia Chuji told him that he had something to do in the afternoon and quit. Go to Su Qianle.

When he walked to the gate of the yard, the servant stepped forward to smoke cicada leaves for him. Xia Chu felt that something was missing, so he said to the servant, "Go and make me a plaque and hang it here, and it will be called Su Yuan in the future."

The little servant answered the promise and went back to do it.

Xia Chu entered the courtyard, walked to Su Qianle's room and knocked on the door.

Su Qianan opened the door, saw it was Xia Chu, and hurriedly saluted after being stunned. Early summer waved his hand.

Su Qianan pulled out the stool and poured Xia Chu a cup of tea: "Young master sent someone to call me, why did you come in person?"

"It's okay, I'll come and see Qian Le."

Xia Chu walked to the bedside and sat down, took Su Qianle's pulse again, and inquired about her physical condition after taking the medicine. Then asked to rest more and move less. Recalling that Qian Le in the previous life was literate, she asked her what kind of books she liked to read, but she sent the maids to chat to relieve her boredom.

Su Qianle was flattered. The huge gap, from yesterday to today, made her feel like she was still in a beautiful dream.

Seeing her in a daze, Xia Chu stopped talking, tucked the quilt for her, and took Su Qianan out.

The two stood at the door of the yard and smoked cicada leaves.

Su Qianan asked him, "How does the young master know that my sister can read?"

Xia Chu raised his eyebrows, "You two are of good character, your sister is very talkative, and you are not rude even though you practice martial arts. The two of you must have a good family background since you were young.

"Master..." Su Qianan's eyes filled with sadness.

"You don't need to tell me, you just need to know. From now on, you are my people, and I will protect you."

Su Qianan felt that Xia Chu's body instantly burst out with a strong and powerful aura. People have to believe, have to surrender.

Su Qianan suddenly felt very satisfied.

Yes, very satisfied.

Su Qianan was very satisfied to be able to follow him.

even happiness.

"Let's go, I'll take you shopping."

"Yes." Su Qianan followed with strides.

The streets of Beijing are bustling with people in the closing season in recent years. shoulders to shoulders, the river flows endlessly. The shops on both sides are also row upon row, including jewelry, spices, taverns, pawnshops, inns, tea houses...

There are also various hawkers stationed in front of the shops on both sides. They eat, drink and play to their heart's content...

Xia Chu stopped in front of a dessert shop and asked Su Qian'an, "Qian Le likes that nectar."

"She liked it very much, and said she had never had something so delicious."

Xia Chu nodded and entered the dessert shop. Weighed some candied fruit and let Su Qian An carry it in her hand.

After leaving the dessert shop, Su Qianan asked him, "Young master likes this?"

Xia Chu looked around the shops while walking.

"I bought it for Qianle. Although the nectar is good, it's not easy to get. I don't have much. Let her eat this candied fruit after taking medicine."

Su Qian was relieved.

"Master Lao is concerned."

The two continued to stroll, when Xia Chu suddenly saw a three-storey shop on the street corner in front of the right. Immediately, I was overjoyed and went to the shop. Standing at the door of the shop, Xia Chu asked him, "Will you bargain?"

"meeting."

Xia Chu nodded, stood on tiptoe in approval, and patted his shoulder. Su Qianan wanted to laugh, but held it back. Follow Xia Chu to enter the shop, which is a decoration shop that sells weapon accessories.

Xia Chu walked around the store and asked him, "What color do you like?"

"black."

Xia Chu picked a black knife spike and compared it to the knife on Su Qianan's waist.

"That's it."

The shopkeeper hurriedly got up and came over to praise the business: "Young master has good eyesight, this is the best knife ear in our shop. Look at this middle jade bead, it's mutton fat..."

Xia Chu raised his hand to interrupt his chatter.

"how much?"

"Twelve."

Xia Chu motioned for Su Qian'an to give money, and Su Qian felt at ease. He said, "Can it be cheaper?"

With a "snap", Xia Chu's hand, which had been resting on the counter, fell down.

"This little brother, look at this fine workmanship, this jade bead alone is worth it..."

"Give me the money." Xia Chu was too lazy to listen to the shopkeeper's nonsense, glaring at Su Qian'an and instructed.

Su Qianan felt apprehensive while giving the money, thinking in her heart, at the door of the store, you asked me if I would haggle?

Xia Chu looked at the shopkeeper carefully packing the knives and asked casually, "Is there anything else on the second floor?"

"No, the second floor is a warehouse."

"What about the third floor?"

"The third floor is too small, the little one lives by himself."

"Why didn't the shopkeeper ask for a guy, he was busy with his own business?"

"Hey, the young master looks like a rich family. Business is not good these days, and I can't make a lot of money. I am alone, and I can make a living."

Xia Chu nodded, "Since that's the case, do you sell this shop?"

"This is unacceptable, this is the family business passed down by the ancestors, and it cannot be defeated by the villain." The shopkeeper looked embarrassed.

It's a pity at the beginning of Xia, he really likes the layout here, and the location is not bad. After thinking for a while, he said, "I can't sell it, can I always rent it?"

"rent?"

"Yes, rent. Look at this. I have rented all the three floors, and I will give you all the things you have here. Including you, if you want to stay, you can also be a buddy. Continue to sell these things , I'll give you wages."

"Really?" The shopkeeper made the final decision, doesn't this mean that he earned the rent in vain?

"nature."

"Can I stay too?"

"Enjoy food and cover." Xia Chu said with a smile.

"The rent?"

"Qian'an? What are you waiting for? Let's negotiate the price." Xia Chu pushed Su Qian'an in front of the shopkeeper, walked to the stairs and asked, "Can I go up and take a look?"

"Naturally, naturally. Young master, you can do whatever you want."

Xia Chu went up to the second floor, checked it out, and thought about the layout and modification in his mind, and then went up to the top floor.

The top floor is indeed a bit small, but the view is excellent. At that time, the middle of the surrounding walls will be hollowed out, and then the windows will be installed and the curtains will be drawn up. It is also good to drink tea and enjoy the scenery. Xia Chu was thinking about hearing Su Qianan call him downstairs.

"Master, let's go."

When Xia Chu went downstairs, Su Qianan walked up to him, winked, and said, "Master, this person's price is too high, go look elsewhere?"

Xia Chu smiled knowingly and said in cooperation, "Okay, let's take a look. It's really too small to do anything, and it will be troublesome to refit it later."

The shopkeeper looked anxious when he saw him taking two steps. Originally, it was because this young man was wealthy and wanted to make a fortune, but when he saw that he didn't want him, he quickly lowered his worth.

"Don't, son, can't you just pay the price this little brother said?"

Xia Chu and Su Qianan looked at each other and smiled, Su Qianan whispered to Xia Chu: "Master, I didn't bring so much cash."

Xia Chu nodded and said to the shopkeeper, "Then make a contract at the price he said. In addition, you can write a receipt for silver coins. I will sign it and you can go to the accountant of Xiahou Mansion to collect the money."

"It turned out to be from the Xiahou Mansion, with a small eye. I'll give you a letter." The shopkeeper took the written contract and the letter of money to Xia Chu, and then handed the pen and ink respectfully.

Xia Chu took the receipt of the silver money and waved the pen, and handed the receipt of the other contract to Su Qian'an, signaling him to sign it.

After signing the receipt, the shopkeeper asked with a wide-eyed smile, "Where will the little one live in the future?"

"Let's live here first. When the second and third floors are remodeled, I'll pick up a room for you in the Hou Mansion, and then you can move there."

"Yes, do you think this shop's name needs to be changed?"

Xia Chu pointed at Su Qian'an and said, "Look back when this little brother is here and ask him what he means."

"Yes." The shopkeeper handed over the knife spikes that he had bought in early Xia.

"Two gentlemen walk slowly."

Xia Chu took the brocade box and smiled at Su Qian'an: "Let's go, little brother."

Su Qianan smiled helplessly, he began to slowly get used to Xia Chu's temperament and was no longer so restrained.
