The Possession of My Beloved

    Cui Xingzhou spent the night here boringly, and that was enough.

    After he had breakfast, he ordered a few words to Li's mother at the door of the house, and then got in the car and left.

    About Lingquan Town, he is still at ease, because in addition to the monitoring of Liu Miantang's mother Li in the house, there are countless secret whistleblowers outside the house. The body, definitely called the thief to come and go.

    After breakfast, the dark clouds dissipated, the sun shines on the stone road, and the North Street is warm and sunny.

    Liu Miantang followed the local customs, brought the soles of her own shoes, and asked Li's mother to prepare a basket of roasted peanuts, and ran to the alley to chat with those old women and wives.

    The women welcomed the new neighbors. After greeting each other, they probed to check the needlework skills of the little lady of the Cui family.

    Seeing this, the women are a little relieved. It seems that God is fair, this little lady Cui's aura is all grown on her face, and there is no pattern in her hands. The stitches are thick, and she is not afraid of smashing the feet of her family officials!

    Seeing the crude benzene of the beautiful wife of the Cui family, the jealousy of the women calmed down. In addition, the peanuts roasted by Mama Li were delicious. Kind and easygoing.

    Miantang didn't mention the fact that her husband's shop was bought by her husband, she just laughed and listened to the facts of the popular shops in the town's hot streets through gossip, and by the way asked the shopkeepers who wanted to sell the shop, before bidding geometry.

    These women were chatting hotly, but Mama Li by the side kept her face dark.

    The lord intends to use this woman as bait, but what kind of thief can he catch sitting at the gate of his house?

    So taking advantage of the time when they went home to cook lunch, Mama Li said to Miantang: "Madam, the first batch of goods from the owner will be put on the shelves soon. If you don't choose a good shop, I'm afraid that there will be nowhere to put the goods."

    Miantang smiled sweetly at her: "No hurry, I already have some ideas in my heart. I will go to the town in the afternoon to see it, and it will not delay the official affairs."

    After she finished speaking, she went back to the house to look for the clothes to wear when she went out to look at the shop in the afternoon.

    Mother Li looked at Liu Miantang's excited look, and she actually sighed deeply. After all, this girl is actually a child of a good family. If she hadn't been robbed in the first place, she should have been married and become a mother in peace early in the morning.

    She has served this woman for a year, and she also knows that this girl has a good temperament. Now, seeing her simple-minded and wanting to do business for "official people", it feels like watching a tragedy.

    I hope everything goes well, Liu Miantang can help the prince to capture the thief as soon as possible, and then see if the prince can be extra-judicial and spare her this hard-working girl.

    But when Li Mama saw Liu Miantang after changing clothes, she was really taken aback. Although Liu Miantang didn't have any new clothes in his suitcase, he didn't need to choose such worn-out ones to wear, right? If she was not mistaken, that dress seemed to be a dress worn by a mute woman when she was hanging in the yard to chop wood.

    "Madam, you are..." Before Mama Li could finish her sentence, Miantang interrupted her: "If you choose to buy things and dress brightly, you will become a fat man to be slaughtered. Sheep. If you have coarse clothes, put them on quickly."

    Mother Li couldn't, so she could only answer her words, changed into some worn clothes, and went out with Liu Miantang.

    In the morning, the old ladies mentioned a few well-located shops, but Ke Miantang took a few glances and left. Finally, when she came to East Street, she suddenly took out a long towel that covered her face and blocked the sand, covered her face, and instructed Mama Li to cover her face before walking forward.

    After walking a few steps, it was a narrow shop with a sign for sale. She looked up and down and went in to inquire.

      The shop owner saw her dressed in shabby clothes at first, and thought she was just here to buy fried cakes, but she didn't expect that she would bring up the matter of the pan shop, so she couldn't help looking up and down suspiciously.

    However, this little lady is good-looking, and the attitude of the store owner is calmer, and she is not directly dismissed as a beggar.

    However, the price he said was really out of bounds, and at first glance, Liu Miantang was not regarded as a real buyer.

    Mian Tang smiled calmly and said: "To tell the truth, my family is in the business of living funeral paper, and I don't need the grandeur of the store, just hang the word 'dean' to solicit It’s just a neighborhood. Otherwise, you won’t be interested in your old and worn-out shop. If you give the price honestly, I can make the decision for the officials today, sign the land deed, and receive both money and money.”

    The shopkeeper frowned when she heard this, and then suddenly her eyes lit up: "Is this true?"

    Liu Miantang smiled slightly: "No joke! It's just a small business, and I don't have much money on hand. Please give me an honest price."

      Will be defeated by the prodigal mother-in-law.

    The lord clearly told her that she wanted to do the porcelain business, but she was blindly coveting the cheap and bought this pickled and narrow shop. And in the morning, those old ladies also said that because this fried cake shop had a gap with the adjacent bakery shop, they almost killed him a few times, so they had to sell the shop and set up another shop. place.

    But because the store next door is notoriously arrogant, and people who know the truth don’t want to be next to the bad neighbor, and no one will come to buy it, so it has not been sold.

    In the end, after Liu Miantang did her homework, she was eager to buy this kind of stuff that no one wanted... It's a pity that the dustpan she baked peanuts.

    However, the king's purpose is to use her to lure thieves, she loves to lose money, just enjoy herself.

    Mr. Li glared at Liu Miantang secretly, then she didn't say anything, just watched her negotiate with the store neatly, and then found a guarantor, and bought this place at a very low price home shop.

    The reason why the price is low is not only that Liu Miantang is good at bargaining with both soft and hard skills, but also because she says that she is in the business of dead people.

    The owner of the fried cake shop has repeatedly been defeated by the evil neighbors. As far as the seller's business is concerned, he is also willing to sell it to her at a low price. At that time, the big "Dian" character will be hung on the door, and then the paper cow boy will be placed, to see who will go to the next door for breakfast?

    Just thinking about it makes me feel relieved, so this store is very refreshing.

    Besides, after Liu Miantang signed the title deed, it was already sunset. Liu Miantang was afraid that her husband would come back suddenly like last night, so on the way home, he sold three catties of pork belly at the butcher's shop, and went home and asked Mama Li to cook it.

    But there was still no knock at the door of the house. While Liu Miantang was lost, he instructed his mother to hang the braised pork in the well, so as not to spoil it, he would eat it when the husband returned.

    And she still eats dried radish with rice for dinner, because she is really hungry, so she scoops up the broth bibimbap to eat, and it really makes the dried radish much more delicious.

    Just a few days later, the meat could no longer be kept, and there was no sign of the official Cui Jiu coming back.

    However, the news that the fried cake shop was sold to a dead man has spread like wildfire, causing the shop owner next to the fried cake shop to curse at the emptied shop every day.

    Liu Miantang took Mama Li out again today. But this time, she dressed neatly and went straight to the bakery shop next to the shop.

    After entering the door, she looked at the store and asked, "But your store is selling?"

    The shopkeeper said in a vicious voice: "It's not my house, it's the next door, it's already sold, if you don't buy anything, don't block the door!"

    Liu Miantang was not annoyed when she heard this, but said a little regretfully: "Mr Fengshui said that this corner of the town is very popular with my officials, how could it be bought by others...Then may I ask if your store is available? Willing to sell?"

    The wicked neighbor was quite impatient, and wanted to shoo people out immediately, but after turning his eyes, he changed his mind and said, "If you buy it, how much will you pay?"

    Liu Miantang looked at this small shop and came up with a price that was lower than the one she bought from the fried cake shop.

    When the evil neighbor heard this, he was not satisfied and said, "My lady is joking? Don't sell it at such a price!"

    Liu Miantang didn't care much after hearing this: "It doesn't matter if I don't sell it, I came here for the first time, but I just listened to a feng shui master. If you offer a fair price, I will Save the trouble and buy it, otherwise I will have to inquire again, at least I have to know what business is on the street, otherwise there is a rush to make a living, isn’t it bad luck? I’m afraid that the store will not be able to sell it…”

    Hearing what she said, the wicked neighbor's face suddenly became a bit difficult: "I think you are also a cool person, little lady, to be honest, there have been bids before. If you buy it with integrity, it's really annoying. If you buy it with integrity and sit down, I'll discuss it with my mother-in-law to see if she likes it."

    Liu Miantang's seemingly unintentional words just touched this pain. The old signboard of the fried cake shop is still hanging next door. In a few days, when the paper goods of Niu Tau Ma Noodles are displayed, his shop will be greatly affected. Taking advantage of this foreign woman's confusion, selling it to her at a price, it would be serious to find a new shop myself!

    Finally, seeing Liu Miantang arguing all the way, Mama Li bought this shop at a price similar to that of a fried cake shop.

    Now she also understands the ecstasy array placed by Miss Liu. This is her idea of ​​buying two adjacent stores from the beginning, and then getting through the idea of ​​​​combining them.

    Although I bought two rooms, but because it is too cheap, it is very suitable to be together, even if the cost of reconstruction is included, it is cheaper than other prosperous shops.

    When Liu Miantang finally got both land deeds, he breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said to Mama Li, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my mission, I finally bought the shop, I have seen it before. Now, these two houses were originally a house, and the partition wall should be added at the back. The original owner divided it into two and sold two copies. So it should be easy to dismantle it. After washing and painting, the husband can use it... And …”

    She pointed to the river behind the store and continued: "I heard from the neighbors that day, the king of Huaiyang built water conservancy recently, and the inland river behind our store will lead to the newly built canal, and there will be more ship traffic in the future. It’s convenient, and the mule carts don’t need to be bumped to transport the goods, and it also saves the precious and precious porcelain from being broken by the bumps.”

    Mother Li listened silently, but she really admired this little lady in her heart. Although her needlework is unsightly, she does have some business acumen, and this shop is very clever.

    Unfortunately, her husband is not a real businessman... Thinking of this, Mama Li suddenly sighed slightly, and sincerely felt sorry for this helpless and intelligent girl.

    The author has something to say:  Miantang little lady: serving her husband, managing housework, very busy every day, very happy~~

    Cui Jiu: Why do you cover your face when you go out on the street…
