Chapter 28 Renting a Shop

Jiang Shuyue almost choked to death on a mouthful of tea.

The waiter looked at Nangong Zeyue's unyielding expression and bowed, "My lord, wait a moment. I'll go ask the shopkeeper for instructions."

After the waiter left, Nangong Ze straightened his chest and raised his eyebrows slightly: "How about it? I can bargain with you!"

Jiang Shuyue took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips, then gave Nangong Zeyue a thumbs up: "Master Nangong is really good at cutting off one hundred taels as soon as he opens his mouth. This one hundred taels is enough for me to buy a lot of household items."

Nangong Zeyue said with a smile: "When I was in Yannan more than in the capital, the dental shops here would falsely report a few percent, and they said they would confiscate your commission."

Nangong Zeyue paused and then said: "The price of Yan Nan's people is not false. King Yan Nan does not allow private transactions in Ya. If you want to buy or sell servants, you must go to the government to prepare documents, so the price is transparent."

"If you need help, I can accompany you to buy it."

"I don't have that plan for the time being. I'm running a small business and can't support so many people."

Nangong Zeyue saw that Jiang Shuyue was dressed in plain clothes and had a simple yet elegant hairpin on her head.

He really couldn't figure out her identity.

Nangong Zeyue picked up the teacup and took a sip, with admiration in her eyes: "Women are inherently difficult. As a widow, Miss Jiang raises a child by herself and also learns medical skills. She is already amazing."

Jiang Shuyue: "..."

This guy doesn't know how to praise anyone.

"Oh! By the way, what were you doing in the backyard of Guo Yuanwai's house that night?"

Nangong Zeyue suddenly came to her senses. What was she, a widow, doing there in the middle of the night?

Jiang Shuyue rolled her eyes: "It's midnight, where are you doing?"

"I... don't say it anymore. It's all my master's fault. My uncle was hunted by his enemies. I heard that the last place he appeared was in Zhuxi County. I came to look for him on the order of my master."

"I didn't find my uncle. I don't have much trouble left, so...ahem, you know what happened next." Nangong Zeyue smiled coquettishly, forgetting the question he asked Jiang Shuyue.

At this time, the waiter came back with the key.

"You two gentlemen have been waiting for a long time. The shopkeeper promised to rent it for two hundred and fifty years for three years. Then we have to pay the rent money to the shop immediately. Otherwise, if other people come to rent it, we will not be able to keep it for you."

Jiang Shuyue looked at Nangongze: "It's already getting late when I saw the shop. What about drinking tea..."

Nangong Zeyue waved her hand smartly: "Miss Jiang, you're welcome, we have a long way to go."

Jiang Shuyue turned to the waiter and said, "Then you bring the contract with you. After you see the shop, I will sign the contract and pay you the money."

The dental shop has ready-made documents. All you need to do is write down the location of the shop, the time, the amount of the loan, and sign and fingerprint on the document.

After hearing Jiang Shuyue's words, the waiter turned around and went to get the paperwork, pen and ink, and ink pads.

The shop is at the end of Jinxiu Street. The shop is bigger than Jiang Shuyue imagined.

The distance from the front door to the back door of the shop is a full five feet. There is a well kitchen and two small rooms in the courtyard behind.

The backyard is no better than a house. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

Jiang Shuyue readily paid the three-year lease.

Sign and pledge in one go, and keep the contract and keys.

"Miss Jiang, I think this shop is quite good. The front half is used as a medical center, and the second half can be used as a bedroom."

Nangong Zeyue gestured back and forth, then raised her head and asked, "Do you live far from here?"

"Not far, just nearby."

Nangong Zeyue's clear fox eyes slightly curved, and she pointed across the street: "I live at Ye Canglan Inn."

"Are you staying in an inn when you come to Yannan?"

Jiang Shuyue looked Nangong Zeyue up and down.

He is about in his early twenties, slightly thin but tall, wearing a bamboo green robe with zigzag patterns embroidered on the cuffs, and a white jade belt hanging on a light blue jade belt around his waist.

He has handsome appearance and good temperament, and looks a bit like a playboy.

Jiang Shuyue secretly complained about how much money it would cost to stay in an inn.

"My uncle has a courtyard nearby. No one has lived in it for a long time. Besides, I'm alone. It's very convenient to stay in an inn."

"I understand, Young Master is waiting for your uncle to come back."

Nangong Zeyue: "Uh..."

"That's more or less what I mean. It's getting late, and I have to do some errands. I won't be back at the inn until a few days later. If you want to see me for anything, you can go to the innkeeper and leave me a message." Nangong Zeyue said. Go outside.

Jiang Shuyue also followed out: "Okay, I have to be busy decorating the medical center recently, see you later."

After the two said goodbye, Jiang Shuyue locked the shop and walked back.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard the sound of strangers talking in the courtyard.

"The boss said that the grass should be put in the stable and the pruned branches should be moved out."

Jiang Shuyue walked into the hanging flower door and saw more than ten people working in the garden. Some were weeding, some were pruning the crowns, and some were loosening the soil.

A middle-aged man stood in the garden, assigning everyone work in an orderly manner.

A large area of ​​the messy garden has been cleared.

During lunch, Wilson Su and Su came back from outside dejectedly.

"Mom, sister, we are back." Su Jin's expression was not as decadent as Su Huairen's.

"Damn it, I...I'm so useless. I haven't even seen the president of the academy. I'm such a useless scholar." Su Huairen sighed.

Su Hui and Qiu Ju had already laid out the dishes and chopsticks. Aunt Su said to the father and son, "Don't worry, wash your hands and eat quickly. Sit down and let's talk slowly. There is no end to the road, and we can always find a job."

In order to replenish Suisui and Shuisheng's health, Aunt Su went out to buy meat.

Su Jin wiped his hands and sat at the table. He said calmly: "Mom is right, there is no point in being anxious. A large number of refugees are pouring into Laiyang, and there are people competing for the jobs of traders and lackeys. We have horses, and I will go east." The city is driving a carriage."

"Brother, I can also catch the carriage. I heard that there are many rich people living in the east, and they can always earn dozens of pennies a day." Su Nan heard what his elder brother said when he walked in from outside, and he took over the conversation.

"I'll go out again in the afternoon and see if I can get a job copying books?"

There are many refugees, and not many people can write well. Su Huairen is still confident in his beautiful handwriting.

After Jiang Shuyue listened, she motioned to Qiu Ju and Su Hui to take Suisui and Shuisheng to dinner.

She saw Lin Miao sit down after washing her hands, got up and walked over.

"Uncle Lin, I met an old friend when I went out in the morning. He helped me rent a shop. I plan to open a medical clinic. Uncle Lin is also proficient in medical skills. Can Uncle Lin treat me at the medical clinic?"

Jiang Shuyue's words were vague, and everyone thought she had borrowed money to rent the shop.

Lin Miaoshou thought for a moment and said, "I have something to do and I have to leave for a while, but I can help you organize it first."

"Brother Su, please stop looking for book copying jobs. The medical clinic also needs an accounting clerk to collect money."

Su Huairen looked at Jiang Shuyue.

Jiang Shuyue took over, "Uncle Lin is right. I can't open a medical clinic by myself. My uncle takes care of the accounts, buys medicinal materials, and prepares medicinal materials. Su Jin and Su Nan have seen what I have done, and they understand a little bit. It just so happens that everyone There is work to do.”
