Chapter 147

Zhao Qianli's residence is not in the inner city of Jinxia City, but in Beicheng district near the inner city.

After Chu Yun supported Zhao Qianli's idea, his highness soon couldn't help but drag Chu Yun to his residence.

"On the side of Daming mansion, the children of aristocratic families have to go out on their own after holding the adult ceremony at the age of 18, so I haven't been to the palace for a long time. I've been here for three years."

Zhao Qianli pointed to the magnificent mansion in front of him and the whole street around him and said, "those places are all the property of king Qi's residence, and now they belong to me. Later, we'll choose the most magnificent place as the headquarters of our uneven building. How about it?"

"It's up to you."

Chu Yun nodded and said he would accept Zhao Qianli's enthusiasm.

Zhao Qianli is obviously an action faction. Once the idea is established, he will push forward nonstop, and immediately called the housekeeper of the Zhao house.

"Young master, you asked me to come here. What can I do for you?"

An old man with white hair and beard, leaning on a crutch, slowly came to the door of the house. He lost a slit of his eyes and looked at Zhao Qianli. Seeing that his young master was still that kind of virtue, he glanced over and landed on Chu Yun, which was still a new face for him.

However, even without asking, the old housekeeper knows that this must be a new friend of his young master, but he doesn't know what new tricks he plans to do this time.

"Lao Xu, I'm going to let a building out and do something new. You'll come with us later and see where it's more suitable..."

As Zhao Qianli said, he suddenly remembered something and said, "by the way, did a woman surnamed Bai come to our house to be a servant girl?"

"... there is such a man."

Housekeeper Xu sighed softly and said, "I've heard about her. She's a poor man. Young master, if you can take her in kindly, you'll be glad to see her in heaven."

As soon as he said this, Zhao Qianli looked a little, and a trace of complexity appeared in his eyes, but he soon turned the topic aside, pulled Chu Yun next to him and said, "let me introduce you. This is brother Chu Yun Chu, my life-saving benefactor and my good brother in the future."

Then Zhao Qianli introduced housekeeper Xu to Chu Yun and said, "this is the housekeeper of my family. Just call him Lao Xu. If you need anything in the future, brother Chu, just tell Lao Xu that he will help."

"After that, please take care of the housekeeper."

Chu Yun arched his hand and said with a smile.

Housekeeper Xu slightly raised his eyebrow. Zhao Qianli said that Chu Yun was his life-saving benefactor. Let's leave it alone, but with Chu Yun's greeting, he made a very good first impression on housekeeper Xu.

"He is a very polite young man..."

Housekeeper Xu thought.

"All right, let's go."

Zhao Qianli patted housekeeper Xu on the shoulder, then took the elderly housekeeper and walked towards the street outside the mansion.

"Young master, all kinds of shops in our street operate well. If you want to let out a building, what business are you going to do?"

The old housekeeper followed Zhao Qianli. Seeing that he looked very excited, he knew that his young master was going to do something. For a moment, he asked with some worry.

After Zhao Qianli left Prince Qi's house, he didn't even look at the properties handed over to him by the king's house. All of them were handed over to the old housekeeper to deal with. He was very happy to be the shopkeeper.

Now, Zhao Qianli is suddenly interested in getting something out by himself. The old housekeeper will naturally be worried about it.

"I'm going to set up an organization called uneven building! Anyone who encounters injustice can come to this building to seek help, just like Bai Caixia. "

Zhao Qianli groaned twice and said proudly, "you don't know yet. I've already let my young master copy the Ruyi gambling house that entrapped Bai Caixia's family. Who can't give a thumbs up when listening to such things as justice?"

“……”

The old housekeeper couldn't help laughing bitterly.

He is old and doesn't know much about the young people's thoughts and blood, so he doesn't intend to make any evaluation at the moment. Anyway, it doesn't sound like a crooked way. In that case, it's up to Zhao Qianli.

Zhao Qianli's mansion is called Beichen mansion, and this street is called Beichen street.

When they were talking, they came to Beichen street. As soon as they entered, they saw that there were all kinds of shops on the street, including restaurants, restaurants, blacksmiths and grocery stores.

But of course

Some shops do not exist, such as brothels and gambling houses.

As the saying goes, what kind of people do what kind of things, Chu Yun strolled around Beichen street. Seeing that the street was in order and there was no place to hide dirt, he knew that the old housekeeper surnamed Xu must be a man of good conduct.

"Brother Chu, take a look. When you like the building, you say, we will take it as the main address of the uneven building in the future."

Zhao Qianli attached great importance to Chu Yun's choice and opened the door to the mountain road.

Chu Yun glanced around. The pavilions on the street are basically where some shops are located. Each business is booming. If he is selected, he will inevitably have to go through some twists and turns.

So Chu Yun walked a long way before he finally saw a place with a cash out sign and said, "what's the situation there?"

The old housekeeper watched Chu Yun all the way. Seeing that he spoke for the first time, he asked about the exchange place. At that time, he nodded secretly and explained: "it's Shunfeng escort agency. Last month, the escort agency escorted a dart out. As a result, it was attacked by bandits. Even people didn't come back with a dart. Now it can't support it, so we can only exchange it."

Then the old housekeeper added: "the Shunfeng escort agency has signed a land lease with us for 20 years. Now there are still 13 years left. In addition to some items of the escort agency, it is also our land lease. However... It is difficult to find people willing to take over, so it has been delayed for so long."

"Brother Chu, what do you think?"

Zhao Qianli asked.

"Yes."

Chu Yun nodded. In fact, he didn't ask for the location of the uneven building. Since the escort agency was anxious to sell and couldn't cash it out, he was willing to push the boat with the current.

When the three entered the door, they came across a spacious yard with a training ground. On weekdays, as long as the guests came to the door, the first thing they saw was the escort agency martial artists who were training in full swing in the yard, which would give people a sense of awe and reliability, and show their strength to the guests at the same time.

But now

As soon as I walked into the yard, I couldn't see anyone for a long time. Obviously, the escort agency has been very down and out.

They went through the training ground and came to a hall. A little boy half a person tall was taking a hard horse step, with wallpaper in his arms open. An iron bucket was hung on each wrist, which was full of bricks and stones.

This posture, even an adult, will be too tired to hold on for a while, and the little boy is on the verge of limit. His body trembles several times, as if a gust of wind could blow him down, but he has been holding on.

In sharp contrast to the little boy, a little girl lying next to him, who looks two years younger than the little boy, is lying on the ground and sleeping.

"Erlang, where's your mother?"

The old housekeeper went into the hall, saw the little boy, sighed gently, and then asked.

"Grandpa Xu, it's you..."

When the little boy heard the news, the strings tightened in his heart loosened, and his wrists could not be stretched. He only heard two "clangs", and the iron bucket hit the ground. The noise caused startled the little girl on the side. When he woke up, his mouth was flat, and he was about to cry out of grievance.

"Xiao Chan, don't cry."

The little boy hurried forward, hugged his sister and gently comforted her.

Chu Yun looked around and could clearly see that the little boy's arm had been trembling because of his recent training, but at the moment, in order to appease his sister, he still forced his arm to stabilize. When his sister couldn't see it, his sore eyebrows trembled without making a sound.

"Grandpa Xu, my mother is waiting for my father and brother in the back hall. Please sit here for a while. I'll call my mother right now."

The little boy comforted his sister and whispered to the old housekeeper.

"OK."

The old housekeeper smiled kindly and nodded to the little boy. After the little boy went to the back hall, the little girl who just woke up rubbed her eyes, and then saw the old housekeeper. She was surprised.

"Here comes grandpa candy!"

The little girl ran to the old housekeeper with big eyes eager to look at the old housekeeper.

"You girl... Said it was grandpa Xu, not grandpa candy..."

The old housekeeper shook his head reluctantly, then slowly took out a packet of candy from his arms and handed it to the little girl. With a sigh, he touched her hair and said, "don't eat it all, leave some for your second brother."

"I see, it's so sweet..."

The little girl ate candy and smiled heartlessly. The old housekeeper took the little girl's hand and sat down on the chair in the hall. Then he looked at Chu Yun and Zhao Qianli and said, "the girl's name is Yang Xiaochan. The little guy's name is Yang Jian. Their father, Yang Ningzhi, is the owner of Shunfeng escort agency. 90% of the staff of Shunfeng escort agency went out last month, As a result, none of them came back. The girl's eldest brother and his father died on the black tiger mountain. "

When they heard the speech, they looked at each other and were silent. At first, when they heard this human tragedy, they had nothing to say except to make people sigh.

Chu Yun, seeing Yang Xiaochan's heartless and innocent appearance, recalled the little guy just now. In contrast, the latter was simply sensible and distressing.

Before long, Xiao Yang Jian took his mother out of the back hall.

Yang Jian's mother is a very weak woman. She is wearing a plain white funeral dress. She is thin. In this sad state, she is even more haggard. She walks with floating steps, and even needs little Yang Jian to help.

"Housekeeper Xu, here you are..."

Yang barely squeezed out a smile on his face, then turned to Zhao Qianli and Chu Yun and said, "are these two?"

"It's his highness and his friends."

The old housekeeper sighed and looked back at Zhao Qianli meaningfully. As the actual owner of Beichen street, few people knew Zhao Qianli's face. It was funny to say it.

"Sit down first."

The old housekeeper made an invitation gesture to Yang, motioned her to sit down, and then said, "we're here to take the plate of your Shunfeng escort agency, recycle all the items of the escort agency and the 20-year land lease we signed before. The price is 210000 taels of silver according to your previous order."

As soon as she said this, Yang's eyes showed a trace of surprise and surprise. She didn't expect to clinch a deal at this price, leaving room for buyers to bargain.

In fact, Yang's mind price is about 170000 Liang silver. If the old housekeeper wants to buy it, the price can be pressed lower.

After all

Shunfeng escort agency doesn't have much property left now. The only valuable thing is the 20-year land lease signed with Beichen mansion. The total value is basically 10000 Liang silver a year, with a total of about 130000 left.

If the old housekeeper holding the title deed wants to lower the price, she can only agree. After all, the old housekeeper can be regarded as her landlord, but who would think that Lao Guan's home is so generous that he doesn't even want to bargain on the price of 200000, which is obviously deliberately taking care of their orphans and widows.

"Housekeeper Xu, I really don't know what to say. Thank you so much..."

Yang gently wiped his tears.

"It's all neighbors. If something happens to your family, you should help."

The old housekeeper patted Yang on the shoulder and said, "I'm gone. I'm sorry to change. You still have a pair of children. You'll always look forward in the future. I'll have someone bring the title deed and silver later."

Yang nodded and was about to thank the old housekeeper again. Chu Yun suddenly cleared his throat and said, "housekeeper Xu, I have an idea."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Yang's heart was tight and looked at Chu Yun with worried eyes.

If this transaction is confirmed, her orphan and widowed mother must have taken advantage of it, but if Chu Yun, a friend of his highness, doesn't like it and doesn't want her to take advantage of it, she can't help it.

"What does childe Chu want to say?"

The old housekeeper turned to look at him.

Chu Yun thought for a moment and said, "I think it's too dangerous for their mother and son if this deal is negotiated like this. After selling the escort agency, this orphan and widowed mother carries so much money. If it is spread out, it will inevitably be coveted by others. We can't help it."
