Chapter 218 She Dared to Open a Shop in the County
Lian Fangfu also looked over.
Is this child asking casually, or does she know something?
The smile on Fang Fu's face suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Meng Yu with a slightly scrutinizing look.
Pei Mingqiu coughed lightly: "I'm not sick!"
"Is it an old injury?" Meng Yu looked up and said, "Uncle, don't delay!"
"You...can tell that I need this?" He knew that this child might know medical skills, but he didn't expect that she had such advanced medical skills at such a young age.
Meng Yu nodded seriously: "I'm not good enough now, I can see that it can't be cured!" She pointed to her little head: "Don't delay!"
The way Fang Fu looked at Meng Yu again was as if he was looking at a child prodigy, one of surprise, shock, admiration, and gratitude!
He was anxious, but he couldn't persuade his master in front of outsiders.
No, after leaving here, he must immediately send a message to the island master. If the island master knew that the Nine-Section Four-Seas Tongtian Grass appeared, he would definitely come immediately. In that way, the blood clot in the master's brain can be cleared earlier, and the hidden danger will no longer exist. Then they can all rest assured!
Pei Mingqiu did not stay long. After the master and servant left, Zhao Susu looked at her daughter helplessly and raised the box in her hand: "Ayu, why do you want me to accept it? What's the matter?"
Meng Yu said, "That thing is very expensive. Uncle feels uneasy when using it and wants to buy peace of mind with money. Let him buy it. Otherwise, if he doesn't use it, we won't need it either. Isn't that a waste?"
Zhao Susu thought so too.
She opened the box and opened her eyes wide: "This, so much?"
"How many?"
"Ten thousand taels!"
Meng Yu raised his eyebrows. It was really a lot.
However, the nine-section four-sea bamboo is worth the money.
Zhao Susu still felt a little guilty, but she was not the kind of person who would keep brooding over it. She took the banknote and smiled bitterly: "I'll return it to them when I have the chance!"
Meng Yu found it funny. Her mother was really not greedy. Faced with a huge sum of 12,000 taels of silver, she could remain calm.
I still remember the days in the village when I would cry with joy if I could sell something for more than a hundred coins.
Therefore, one's state of mind will really change as one's perspective changes, and she is happy for Zhao Susu's growth.
Fang Fu was smiling as he returned.
He was so happy.
The heavy stone in my heart seemed to be lifted away at once with the appearance of the Four-Seas Bamboo.
Who among these old people doesn't worry about the master's health?
But the master was a man who would not hesitate to die on the battlefield and would forget to eat and sleep when doing things. Especially in the past year or so, whenever he overexerted his brain, he would suddenly fall into a coma.
Four groups of people were searching for the Four Seas Bamboo everywhere, but who would have thought that they would get it today without any effort.
His mouth was almost stretched to the back of his head.
Happier than Pei Mingqiu, the person involved.
Pei Mingqiu smiled helplessly: "Be more restrained, you are laughing like a fool!"
Fang Fu didn't care at all. A fool is a fool. As long as the master is well, what does it matter if he becomes a fool?
The next day, Pei Mingqiu and his two servants did not go out.
But Fang Fu's signal had already been sent out.
On the third day, they still didn't go out.
Fang Wen asked worriedly, "Master, Mu Qi may not come, how about we leave first?"
Pei Mingqiu said, "Wait one more day. The news was spread early in the morning, and it will take some time for him to come." After a pause, he sighed again, "There are so many eyes watching over there in the capital, and for the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, we can only start with Mu Qi!"
Fang Fu continued, "Duke Dingguo's Mansion has always kept a low profile, but after all, it is a family of high rank, so it is normal for them to be watched by those people."
Pei Mingqiu didn't say anything.
Of course, he also wanted to fight for the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
The Duke was a veteran minister in the court for three dynasties. After Mu Guanchu from the third branch of the Duke's Mansion became the head of business affairs, he quietly developed business in the entire Shang Kingdom, but he was extremely low-key.
Apart from the Jixiang Restaurant and Jixiang Inn, which are almost labeled as the businesses of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, the Mu family's private businesses are something that the Prince of An would never have imagined.
Therefore, the Dingguo Mansion is actually a giant lion with its body hidden. Now it depends on whether this giant lion will continue to hide in the depths of the forest or be used by someone.
Zhao Susu and her daughter were naturally unaware of Pei Mingqiu's plots and plans.
Fortunately, on the fourth day, Mu Guanchu arrived in Ningshan County exhausted.
In a room on the top floor of Jixiang Restaurant that is not open to the public, Mu Guanchu and Pei Mingqiu had a detailed discussion for two hours.
As for what they talked about and what the outcome was, only the two of them knew.
Since no one was approaching, Fang Wen and Fang Fu just stayed far away on the road and would not let anyone disturb them.
Having not been to Ningshan County for more than two years, Mu Guanchu still remembered the mother and daughter who had revived the Jixiang Restaurant in the town. He also used some of that set of ideas in some local restaurants, and that set of business philosophy could be directly applied.
After using it once, he discovered its benefits.
So this time, he wanted to see Pei Mingqiu and also wanted to see them again and personally deliver the dividends of the past two years to them.
He asked Feng Zhi and learned that Zhao Susu had actually opened a shop in the county town, and her business was booming. He couldn't help but wonder: "Mrs. Zhao dared to open a shop in the county town? Did she dare to speak loudly to people?"
Feng Zhi: “…”
He couldn't help but laugh. Madam Zhao was indeed a little lacking in this aspect. But that was at the beginning. Madam Zhao is now a completely different person. Otherwise, how can you say that doing business is a training for people?
A young lady who was afraid to speak loudly to others has now become such a straightforward and direct person, it's like she has been reborn.
"If you see it, you will be shocked. Madam Zhao is no longer the same Madam Zhao as before."
When Mu Guanchu heard this, he immediately became very interested: "Then prepare some gifts, lead the way, and we will go visit!"
Feng Zhi said happily: "Okay!"
I don’t know if I can taste Madam Zhao’s cooking this time, but he couldn’t forget it once he had it and had been craving for it for a long time.
However, she could only envy him in her heart. After all, Madam Zhao was busy with her business, so why should she cook for her?
Feng Zhi carefully prepared the gifts and showed them to Mu Guanchu: "Sir, do you think these are okay?"
There were fine fabrics, freshly baked pastries, fresh fruits, and two boxes of Xueyan Pavilion's finest rouge. There was also a nine-linked ring and a set of brightly colored jade pendants and butterfly hairbands for the children.
Mu Guanchu was quite satisfied, as the preparation was very thoughtful.
He looked up and saw Pei Mingqiu coming down the stairs. He immediately waved, "Brother Mingqiu, come here. I'll show you something good!"
Pei Mingqiu walked closer: "What?"
Mu Guanchu smiled and said, "I met a very interesting friend here before, so I prepared some gifts and wanted to visit him. Do you want to come with me?"
Pei Mingqiu glanced at him and said, "Is it inappropriate for me to go to your friend?"
He saw the rouge at a glance: "Is it a woman?"
