In the afternoon, Li Yanqing rode to Baoyanzhai in Yujie, according to his instructions, the ruined ruins of Baoyanzhai have been cleaned up, the foundation has been leveled, a large carpet has been laid, a huge wool tent has been set up, the tent is wrapped in yellow and red curtains, particularly bright and eye-catching, above the tent door stands the sign of Baoyanzhai, the sign is surrounded by fresh willow branches, which is very eye-catching.

This must have been the idea of Mrs. Sun, who has always liked to decorate the store with a variety of bright colors, which has more flavor than the original Baoyan.

Li Yanqing saw this extremely eye-catching tent shop from afar, not only him, but many people came from all over the capital to see this unique tent shop.

Li Yanqing came to the big tent and turned over and dismounted, there was still a queue in front of the big tent, this is the person who bought balsam, the balsam of Bao Yan Zhai is not expensive, and it can be washed clean, it is very popular with people in the capital, and it has been necessary to queue up to buy it for so many years, but now the line is much shorter than the original, and it is also because Bao Yan Zhai has opened several branches in the capital.

Selling balsam set up a special small tent, which does not affect the sales of the main account, there are two young and beautiful master of ceremonies in front of the main account door, there are guests in the account, they all have to do a blessing ceremony, at this time, Li Yanqing heard a little exaggerated laughter from Mrs. Sun in the big tent.

Outside the tent, you can see a circle of wooden tables along the edge of the tent, and as before, there are various samples on them, and a dozen beautiful girls stand behind the wooden platforms and diligently recommend various rouges and perfumes to the female guests.

The innermost is the make-up tent room, which is crowded with women who are receiving free makeup, and Mrs. Sun, who has heavy makeup on her face, constantly greets the guests, laughing and explaining to them the use of various rouges.

Basically, as before, although the number of customers has decreased slightly, there are still many customers, which makes Li Yanqing secretly relieved.

At this time, a young master of ceremonies saw the young proprietor and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Li Yanqing smiled at her: "Find out Mrs. Sun, and I'll say a few words to her." ”

The girl nodded, turned around and went in, not long after, Mrs. Sun hurriedly walked out, hugged Li Yanqing, and kissed him on the face excitedly, Zhang Bao and Zhang Ying hurriedly turned their backs and snickered, Mrs. Sun's pungency really made Li Yanqing unbearable, he hurriedly pushed her away, "There are so many people watching outside!" Don't be like this, big lady. ”

Mrs. Sun giggled and said: "People love the little proprietor in their hearts, if it weren't for you, how could Yujie Baoyanzhai recover so quickly, it must still be a ruin, it's only been two days!" ”

"How's the business, is it affected?"

"There must be a little bit of impact, but it's not very big, many old guests don't know about the fire in Bao Yan Zhai, they are very surprised, and ask me how I turned it into a tent, I said that the east wants to build a new house, so the old house is demolished."

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "This reason is very good, and the color decoration on the outside is also very beautiful." ”

"Don't mention it, that idiot of Tiezhu, actually bought a few black-roofed tents and came back, he said it was the custom of his hometown, and I scolded him, there was no way, so I went to buy a cloth curtain to wrap the tent."

Li Yanqing couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this is indeed the custom of his hometown, after the fire in his house, a black cloth will be hung on the beam of the newly built house, indicating that the fire is overcome with soil, and white or red is generally not used, but this is a shop, how can it be black, so the iron pillar is still a dead brain.

"The proprietor also scolded him!"

Li Yanqing was stunned, "My father is back?" ”

"Don't you know? I came back at noon. ”

"Big lady, go get busy! I'm going to Hongqiao. Li Yanqing turned over and took Zhang Bao and Zhang Ying to the Hongqiao outside the west city.

Not long after, Li Yanqing rushed to Hongqiao Baoyanzhai, and met his father Li Daqi at the gate to send a guest away, Li Daqi also saw his son, and said with a smile: "I was about to let someone find you!" ”

Li Yanqing handed over the horse to Zhang Ying and followed his father into the gate, "Why did my father come back today, I thought I would come back in a few days." ”

"It's not for your marriage, I rushed back after a little handling there, and I was given a head start as soon as I entered Beijing!"

Li Yanqing knew that his father was referring to the fire in Baoyanzhai on Yujie, and he said in a deep voice: "I already know who the murderers of the arson are, I will not spare them, and I will definitely let them repay it double!" ”

"Forget it, I thought the house on Yujie was too old, and I was going to demolish and rebuild it, so I just took this opportunity to rebuild."

"But the losses are heavy!"

Li Daqi shook his head, "You calculate the loss according to the market price, of course you feel miserable, but if you calculate the value of the goods according to the price of the capital, it will only be two thousand dollars, and the loss is not big, but the fire is too unlucky, which makes me really uncomfortable." ”

The father and son sat down in the guest hall, and Li Daqi asked again: "I heard the magpie say, you sent Sisi and Qing'er out of the city?" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "During this time, I offended a lot of people, and as a result, Yujie Baoyanzhai was also burned, I'm afraid they are in danger." ”

"It's right to be cautious, especially her identity is always a big hidden danger for you, you have no choice but to wronged her."

At this time, Li Yanqing saw a drawing of building a house on the small table, so he picked it up and looked at it, and sure enough, it was the drawing of the new store.

Li Daqi said with a smile: "Just now the Ding Da shopkeeper of the Fang family house shop came to visit, this is a drawing he left me, the area is about the same as Yujie Baoyan Zhai, he promised to build a new store within a month, the all-inclusive price is 5,000 yuan, including three wells and a few trees in the yard, but not including the door, the door is very expensive, like the new sandalwood door of Qingfeng Lou is also made by them, it costs more than 10,000 yuan, and the cheapest is also 2,000 yuan, I think not to be too public, to make a medium threshold, about four or five thousand yuan." ”

Li Yanqing sighed and said, "Actually, I want to persuade my father to take this opportunity to sell this piece of land in Yujie and then rent a shop." ”

Li Daqi was startled, "You're crazy, this is a shop on Yujie!" You can't buy it if you want to, and you want to sell it. ”

"If the capital is moved, this land will not be valuable."

"What's your news? Last time, I listened to your words and went to Hangzhou to buy land, but this time I went to see it, and I lost a lot. Li Daqi glared at his son with some dissatisfaction.

Li Yanqing was stunned, "No!" Those houses and the government don't recognize them? ”

"Of course the government admits it, I'm not talking about this loss, I bought 23 houses before, seven of them were burned, and a few mansions were forcibly occupied by bandits, and the furniture and gardens inside were destroyed to a mess, these can only be regarded as a small loss, but it's okay, the key is that now the land price in Hangzhou has plummeted, which is half the price I bought at the time, and the loss is tens of thousands of dollars! Your third uncle bought a five-acre house, and also lost more than 100 acres, he has always blamed me, I have to compensate for his losses, and I am even more sorry for the Wang family, the Wang family bought nearly 300 acres of land, although people do not mention the loss, but I also feel guilty! ”

"Daddy, take a long-term view, not just look at the present."

Li Daqi glared at him fiercely again, and said angrily: "So I was angry, and I bought more than 20 houses, about 1,200 acres, of which 500 acres were bought on the edge of the West Lake, so that my losses have been reduced a lot." ”

Li Yanqing couldn't help laughing, his father was really shrewd.

"Then the land of Yujie is still sold! I will persuade the Cao family to rent half of the Lianggong weapons shop to me, they occupy a large area and cannot use it at all. ”

"Not for sale!"

Li Daqi refused, "This is my place of origin, how can I sell it." ”

"Daddy, is Baoyan Zhai's place of origin good in Xinqiao Li Ji rouge shop, not here!"

After a pause, Li Yanqing added: "Yujie is too ostentatious. ”

"What do you think is swaggering?" Li Daqi felt a little puzzled, "Then why do you want to open a store in Lianggong Weapons Shop?" Isn't it the same in the Royal Street? ”

Li Yanqing was silent for a long time and said: "That piece of land is actually the favor of King Yun, and I have always felt uncomfortable in my heart. ”

Li Daqi nodded, "If that's the case, I won't embarrass you, and I won't sell it, just return this land to him." ”

"It's not necessary, this land was originally bought by us from the government, it is reasonable and legal, and we don't have to suffer this loss."

That piece of golden land in Yujie is worth at least 100,000 yuan, and money can't buy it, Li Daqi thought for a while and said: "The big shopkeeper of the gold and silver shop next door to Baoyan Zhai in Yujie has asked me many times, and they came to the door as soon as I came back today, begging me to sell this piece of land to them, their proprietor's will is very strong, and they actually offered 150,000 yuan, to be honest, I am a little tempted." ”

"What is the background of the gold and silver shop?"

"Xiang Jia!" Li Daqi sneered, "The richest family in the capital." ”

It turned out to be the family of the Empress Dowager Xiang, known as the richest man in the capital, rich enough to rival the country, no wonder Ken offered 150,000 guan, 150,000 guan was just a drizzle for their family, but the shop plot on Yujie really couldn't be bought if there was money, Li Yanqing smiled: "Are they trying to connect the two shops together?" ”

Li Daqi nodded, "Xiangjia wants to be the largest silver shop in the capital, this land is in the best condition, as soon as the two pieces of land are merged, the gold and silver shop is the largest silver shop in the capital, and it is located in Yujie, so when this land was auctioned by the government, Xiangjia was bound to get it, but we didn't expect it to be obtained." ”

After a pause, Li Daqi said again: "In the past few years, the Xiang family has been unwilling, and they will look for me every few months, this time the fire burned down the house, they saw the opportunity, and pestered me to sell this land to them, and it is estimated that they will come to me at night." ”

"Then my father sold it to them, 150,000 yuan, which is a good price, but my father remembered to ask for gold or silver, not for a son."

"Of course I know this, most of the materials have to be traded in silver these days, and today I am just going to meet my future father-in-law, and by the way, I will mention the matter of renting a good shop."

Li Yanqing was stunned, "What did my father do when he went to see him?" ”

Li Daqi glared at Li Yanqing, "Of course it's for your marriage, today I want to finalize the financial gift, I'm so busy that I can't wait to grow two more legs, do you think I have nothing to do with him for tea?" ”

Li Daqi suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "What time is it now?" ”

Li Yanqing glanced at the clock leak, "It's almost time for Shen!" ”

Li Daqi suddenly jumped up, and stomped his feet in a hurry, "It's going to be a mistake to talk to you, I made an appointment with Cao Xuan to meet Shen Shi, you bastard...... Oops! ”

Li Daqi didn't care about his son, got up and rushed out, "Prepare a car for me, I want to enter the city immediately!" ”
