Chapter 329 The Strongest Partner

Chu Nanzhi was a little worried and said: "It stands to reason that Taigong is willing to respond to the county government's decree. With such a high righteousness, I should share your worries. I'm afraid that I, a village woman, will be disappointed if I don't have the chance to meet Wu Enrong. Grandpa's expectation."

"It's okay, this is just a wish of this old man's life."

Mr. Zhao frowned, with a dignified expression: "This old man knows that this matter is not easy to handle, but after thinking about it, there is probably no one else in this world except Mrs. Chu who is worthy of my entrustment. If Mrs. Chu is so clever None of the people can find out about this matter, so the old man can only accept his fate."

After hearing this, Chu Nanzhi began to think carefully.

This old man is really a businessman, he was still fighting for himself just a moment ago, and even wanted to marry himself in and inherit his family business.

Having made such a big battle, with so much foreshadowing, the whole thing is quite touching. In fact, the ending is just like Yu Shi, wanting to reduce himself to a tool he can use.

An old fritter like him who has spent his whole life in the business world, how can he have any real heart of compassion.

Fortunately, there are pros and cons in everything. I promised Princess Jinshu to thoroughly investigate for her the matter of Lin Luochu, the third eldest princess of Nanhuaguan, who hid the bank.

Through what happened during these days, many clues have begun to point to the county officials. I am afraid that sooner or later they will deal with Wu Enrong.

And now that I want to fight against the Qi family, Zhao Taigong took the initiative to form an alliance with me, why should I push such a powerful ally to the opposite side.

Since they are all calculations, let's calculate each other and take what they need.

Today, she not only has to accept this huge sum of money with peace of mind, but also has to make this old guy more determined to stand in the same camp as herself.

So the best way is to seize the absolute initiative.

Chu Nanzhi's small eyes flashed lightly and immediately showed a face of embarrassment, and said reluctantly:

"To be so valued by the grandpa, the slave family is very frightened. That's it. I think it's safer to leave it to the government. Isn't the grandpa willing to lower the rent? It's just a chance to ask the poor husband for help. He certainly won't refusal."

"No no no."

Grandpa Zhao waved his hand reluctantly: "Linghu is a good hand in governing the world, but when it comes to the ability to investigate cases and resolve doubts, I would rather trust Mrs. Chu."

Paused, he became a little embarrassed and said: "What's more, I don't want anyone to know about this matter. I don't know Lingfu deeply, so I can't entrust this matter."

At the time when her son Zhao Yan disappeared and everyone was at a loss, this woman deduced that the son was murdered based on only a piece of paper, and immediately found the place where the body was hidden and arrested the murderer. I have seen such powerful people.

Chu Nanzhi nodded suspiciously.

This kind of thing is indeed not something that can be publicized everywhere. No wonder he wants to marry himself into the family, so that he will become a family.

This little abacus is really well done.

From the tone of the old man’s speech, he probably guessed that Zhao Yan was the son of the Wu family and the prefect himself, otherwise he wouldn’t just ask himself to find out whether the Wu family is the elder sister Wu Enrong’s identity.

It can be seen that he has some eyebrows in his heart.

While he was still thinking about it, Mr. Zhao had shown a decisive momentum, and finally discussed with her solemnly:

"As long as Mrs. Chu is willing to agree to the old man's matter, the thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver on the table will be used as remuneration, and the old man's house will be given to Mrs. Chu to open a restaurant, and he will spare no effort to help you compete with the Qi family. Besides, When I return home today, I can call the servants of Zhuangzi from all over the place to discuss the rent reduction."

The atmosphere has been heightened to this point, even if it is going up the mountain of swords and going down into the sea of ​​fire, she has to agree to it both publically and privately.

"Since this is the case, then I will try my best."

The corners of Chu Nanzhi's mouth curled into a faint smile.

After all, the little boy has done a lot for himself these days, even if it's not for himself, he should share his worries.

Seeing that she finally agreed to his request, Zhao Taigong's tense old face finally relaxed, showing a relieved smile.

Although he admires this woman very much, and he doesn't want to use her from the bottom of his heart, but to defeat Wu Enrong, an old fox, he must use such conspiracies and schemes.

Cough, women are like clothes, no matter how beautiful they are, they will wear out sometimes.

As for the future, he doesn't care so much, at worst, he will give her some more compensation.

Thinking of this, he still couldn't help showing a look of shame in his sly and old eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "Miss Chu, there is no need to be in a hurry, this matter has to be done slowly, as long as I can find out the truth in my lifetime, I will be satisfied."

After thinking for a while, he added: "From now on, the matter of Mrs. Chu is an old man's business. The old man will choose the strongest guard in the mansion to secretly protect Mrs. Chu's safety. As for the business of opening a restaurant, the old man is not good at it, but Since you are joining forces with my Zhao family, I have no other requirements, but that it should not be too shabby, with such a big house, what is Miss Chu's plan?"

"It would be a waste if this house is just a restaurant."

Chu Nanzhi thought about it quickly, and then answered calmly:

"Why don't you open a large restaurant, use the front yard as a restaurant for ordinary diners, and repair the back yard as guest rooms and elegant rooms to receive distinguished guests, and then build some sightseeing spots for summer vacation, such as fish ponds for fishing, and some chickens and ducks in captivity Such poultry, Luyan Port is a transit place for merchants from the north and the south, and many dignitaries from Jingling City come here every year, which will definitely attract a lot of passengers."

"This idea is quite novel. Compared with the post house, it is a little more leisurely and comfortable than a farmhouse, but it is also a little more solemn than an ordinary restaurant. It combines the shortcomings of the two, which is wonderful."

Zhao Taigong nodded in admiration, and then ordered the servant to take the land deed of the house, put it on the table, and signaled: "Then it's settled, please Mrs. Chu accept the land deed and the reward."

Chu Nanzhi turned her head to look at the land deed and the gold and silver, and came over with ten thousand taels of silver notes and the land deed, and explained with a smile: "After all, the matter has not been completed, so I will take half of the fee. If the matter cannot be completed, I will return it to the grandpa. And I also accept the land deed, as it is Taigong's shareholding in the restaurant, you will not refuse, right?"

"Miss Chu is really particular."

Zhao Taigong held his cane tightly and smiled.

Now that it's hard to persuade her to agree to her own affairs, she naturally has to follow her in every way.

Zhao Taigong made a gesture of reassurance: "Miss Chu accepts the remuneration to reassure the old man, and the old man will not let you have any worries. The other thousand taels of gold and the house will be treated as the old man's 20% share of the restaurant. That way we can be at ease."

"Very good very good."

Chu Nanzhi knew that the old man didn't care about the two thousand taels of silver, and he didn't even really care about opening this restaurant.

My mother is nothing more than a private detective he hired with a lot of money. How could he treat himself as a sincere partner.

What the old man really wants is to fulfill the entrusted affairs for him.

Thinking about the real reconciliation with Lin Jinxiao will be achieved in the near future, and if she fails the imperial examination again, she has to make plans in advance, and use this opportunity to completely drag Mr. Zhao into the water and start the restaurant's business.

In this way, it is considered that there is a way out.

Having made up her mind, she said to Taigong Zhao very seriously: "Then please ask Taigong to make a contract."

"it is good."

Zhao Taigong ordered people to bring paper and pens, and while the two were writing the contract, Zhao Taigong said earnestly: "There are quite a lot of skilled craftsmen in the old man's house. To repair the yard, the old man will order the housekeeper to come and wait for the lady's orders tomorrow. How to decorate the courtyard has to be decided by Mrs. Lao Chu herself, and the old man will not ask."

"Don't worry, I won't cause too much trouble for the grandpa. The grandpa just needs to come and inspect it when it is completed."

After Chu Nanzhi finished speaking, she pressed her fingerprints on the contract, and the two looked at each other with a smile while holding the contract, which was considered an agreement.
