It was already the twelfth lunar month. Xianjin thought that Qiao Hui could spend the New Year with him, but on the morning of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, he bowed and said goodbye to everyone after breakfast, "See you after the New Year! See you after the New Year!"
Mother Zhang was extremely angry. "You want to leave? I just asked the village to kill two sheep, ten chickens, and three geese! And fried two large pots of rice cakes!"
Qiao Hui rode on the horse, laughing happily, "Auntie Zhang, please watch them and make sure they don't finish eating! Wait for me to come back and eat! I love the rice cakes you pound!"
Mother Zhang fed a handful of beans to the red horse and smiled, "I'm an old woman, what can I say about love or not!"
Then I stuffed some dried red dates into the horse's mouth.
Xianjin was speechless as he watched the tall horse chewing dried red dates with gritted teeth.
Aunt Zhang, you've almost fed this horse enough to make it buck-toothed.
After Qiao Hui comforted Zhang Ma, he looked at the phalanx of muscular men and said in a low voice, "Wait for me to come back, the stone locks will start to increase in weight!"
Zhou Ergou stood upright with a ferocious expression, stood firmly on the spot, and performed a set of combination punches.
Xianjin:...
Let's go.
Because of you, this team, which was not very smart to begin with, feels even harder to lead.
Qiao Hui waved his hand and his eyes fell on Xianjin's face. The horse finished eating the dried red dates and began to pace to digest the food, but Qiao Hui's gaze remained firmly focused.
Chen Fu looked at Qiao Hui, then at his daughter, and showed a big innocent smile: It's New Year's Day, we have to eat something sweet.
Qiao Hui smiled at Xian Jin, and raised his whip-holding hand slightly, "Happy New Year, see you next year."
Xianjin also waved, "See you next year!"
......
During the Chinese New Year, there are always the same few things to do: eating, drinking and having fun. Xianjin followed Qiao Hui's advice and stopped to rest for a while. After simply taking off his mourning clothes, he ate and drank every day and followed Chen Fu out to continue eating and drinking.
After the fifteenth day of the lunar year, Xian Jinfang, with his round belly and fat face, took Zhou Ergou and Aunt Zhong, and invited Zhen Sanlang to look for a site along the Longchuan River.
I've been looking around for almost a month, but I've come up against nothing.
Xuancheng Prefecture is not big, and there are not many paper shops that need to be closed after the New Year. There are only seven or eight shops on the market at most.
Xianjin went to see it.
How to say it?
The results were not very good.
Some people, upon seeing the gold, would ask for an exorbitant price. A shop that sells 200 taels of silver could ask for a whopping 1,200 taels of silver. The sellers looked like they were robbing the rich to help the poor, which was disgusting.
Some of them would shut their doors tightly when they saw that it was Xianjin. When Xianjin became too aggressive, the sellers begged him to let them go, "...Although I don't make paper anymore, I still have several relatives who sell straw or grow celestial beings to make a living. I really don't dare to risk the livelihood of my relatives and friends just to sell this shop!"
Some of them were completely irrelevant. Xianjin went to a paper shop, but the shop sold rouge. After Xianjin calculated, considering the time and cost of digging a pulp pool and casting and baking walls, she might as well sell rouge directly...
There is no fate.
There is only one that was originally a small workshop for making Xuan paper, called Chuan Ji, and it is located in Kuan Lane, east of Xuancheng City. It is not very large, with a shop in front and a workshop in the back. Although small, it has everything, including the pulp water pool, baking wall, warehouse, and large stone mortar, which are covered in dust but still in good condition.
The asking price is not high. It is said that it has been on the market for almost half a year but has not been sold.
There is something fishy about it.
Either the shop would catch fire for no reason on the day the contract was signed; or the wall of the shop would collapse when the buyer came to see it; or the shop door would be splashed with blood on the day the deal was completed...
Anyway, the presence of this shop there is somewhat unlucky.
Hey, what a coincidence.
The thing Xianjin is least afraid of in his life is metaphysics.
What is so mysterious? She has traveled from the 21st century to the Wei Dynasty! Who can be more mysterious than her?
Xianjin sat down and discussed with the seller in detail as soon as he heard it.
The original owner of the workshop died young, and the one who took over was the original owner's widow, Aunt Chuan, who was about the same age as Mother Zhang. She spoke viciously and spat on the ground, "...I would rather burn this workshop down than give it to those evil wolves in my clan!"
Xianjin asked again and found out that when the original owner was bedridden, the uncles and uncles in the clan began to covet the workshop and the original owner's only daughter. They arranged to sell the land first and then the house, and finally sold the original owner's daughter to the landlord next door as a small house.
This really brought out the aunt's true nature.
You wanna sell?!
Can!
I sold it earlier than you!
You're going to marry my girl!?
Can!
She married her daughter off in a flash, before her husband died!
As Aunt Zhong listened, a little more admiration appeared in her eyes.
Xianjin smiled and said to Aunt Chuan, "I have offended Hengji and Chenji in Xuancheng Prefecture. Several shops in front of me are so scared that they dare not sell when they see my face, for fear of offending the big brother in the industry. Are you not afraid?"
The aunt sneered, "I'm not afraid of anything! As long as you're not afraid of my uncles and uncles coming to make trouble, my daughter has already been married! I'm not afraid of anything!"
Xianjin walked around the front and back yards again, signed the sublease agreement immediately, went to the government to file it immediately, and kept Zhou Ergou and the others in the shop.
——After practicing so many Heavenly Stone Locks with Qiao Hui, we can’t just be superficial!
That night, a roll of burning firewood was thrown into the Kuanxiang workshop, and then several buckets of cooking oil were poured into the yard. As soon as the fire touched the oil, it started to burn. Zhou Ergou, Zheng Da and Zheng Er put on their clothes and picked up buckets of water to put out the fire immediately. Haixing pinned the arsonist to the entrance of the alley.
The man's neck was lifted up, and his trembling face was exposed.
Aunt Chuan squatted down and took a look, and immediately started to curse, "Seventh Brother! Seventh Brother! Fuck you! How dare you burn down our shop!"
He beat the man so hard that his face was bruised and swollen.
Xianjin said nothing more and immediately sent the man to the Xuancheng government office. Prefect Xiong personally sentenced the man, and he was beaten with thirty sticks and then thrown back.
Xianjin lowered his eyes to look at the dying man, raised his chin, and said calmly: "Brother Zheng, please harness a mule cart and take this man for a stroll from street to street."
Xianjin paused, then smiled, "Let's focus on taking care of the west of the city where Hengji is located and the east of the city where Chenji is located. We must not forget the dozen or so small workshops around Hengji. Let them all see what happens when they play dirty tricks behind my back."
Don't fucking think that she is a piece of shit that can be manipulated by anyone after leaving the Chen family!
Three years ago, she never relied on the Chen family's power. Three years later, she definitely didn't rely on the Chen family's small fortune!
Do you think she can't see what Hengji has done?
Why is it so difficult to rent or buy a shop?
If Hengji hadn't tripped her up, she would have written the word "He" upside down!
It is said that on that night, a mule cart carrying a half-bloody body was driving in and out of the streets where the Heng family lived...
The wheels are almost sparking.
The smell of blood was all over the floor, but Hengji's door remained closed.
