Chapter 332 Renting a House and Grabbing a Storefront
Instead, he completely cleared himself of the charges, saying that it was the Yuan family from Nanxin who instigated Jiaxiang to do it.
Using the excuse that Jiaxiang was young and easily disturbed, she wiped out all the blame for her actions.
Li Tianzhuo and Emperor Nanxin both felt that these words did not come from the mouth of Emperor Xilei, but from the mouth of General Zhu.
The Xilei regime may be in danger of changes!
If this is true, the envoy who came this time should also be from the Zhu family, and they, Nan Xin, must deal with him carefully.
At this time, Li Tianzhuo was arranging the candidate for the Minister of Foreign Affairs to receive the envoys from Xilei.
The Minister of Honglu Temple just retired this year, and the new young Minister has only been in office for a month or so. Li Tianzhuo feels that he will have to keep an eye on him this time, and he will be busy again!
As he was holding his forehead and sighing, there was a knock on the door.
Lao Geng came in holding a bowl of steamed buns. Although it was a little cold, the fresh and fragrant smell was still refreshing.
Li Tianzhuo hasn't had a good meal for a long time since parting with Deng Youning.
I have lost a lot of weight.
My body can’t take it any longer if I continue to use up my energy like this!
"Your Majesty, I have brought you a bowl of steamed buns. Please try it."
Li Tianzhuo didn't even raise his eyes, "Just leave it there."
Old Geng explained the truth: "Your Majesty, this steamed bun is not ordinary. It is from the shop where Princess Dongji and Miss Han just ate. My subordinates were watching on the spot. The princess likes this shop very much. She often comes to eat during the days when she sells cloth."
Sure enough, it is useful to say this.
Li Tianzhuo's eyes lit up. He put down the brush in his hand and stared at the bowl of steamed buns.
Lao Geng smiled with relief and placed the bowl in front of him.
After eating two bites, Li Tianzhuo immediately decided to ask the owner of the steamed bun stall to send a bowl to Prince Yi's palace every day.
Seeing that the prince liked it, Lao Geng was happy too.
He also suddenly realized that secretly following Princess Dongji was a great job. Not only could he watch the fun for free, but he could also taste the little-known delicacies in Yuncheng.
The next day, the two cousins went to see the shop.
I heard that they didn’t rent the house for long, so many landlords were unwilling to rent it out.
The homeowners in that area are generally well-off and don't want to go through the hassle of renting a place for a few days.
There was really no other way, they could only go to Wenxuan Street that Deng Youning had suggested before to have another look.
The brokerage firm contacted the homeowner for them.
After waiting for two days, only one household that had been in an accident was willing to rent out its house.
There had been a fire in the house, which had killed the entire family, leaving only an old servant and a young master.
Later, the old servant took the young master away to an unknown place, and the house was taken care of by their relatives. Over the years, no one has been willing to rent his store.
Standing outside the house, looking at the dilapidated doors and windows, Deng Youning and Han Xinxin were both discouraged.
Even if they don't mind someone's death, it will take a long time to rent the house and renovate it.
They will be unable to operate for such a long time.
"Or, can you help us ask around for other companies?"
Han Xinxin sighed repeatedly at the dilapidated house.
She would rather set up a stall as before than rent a place like this.
The boss of the dental clinic shook his head regretfully. If there was a suitable house, would he not introduce it to them?
After all, he wants to make money too!
Just then, a young fair-skinned boy walked towards them.
His eyes were on the store and he seemed very interested in it.
"How much is the rent for this store? I'll rent it!"
The young man was very straightforward and made the decision right away.
The dental shop owner and Han Xinxin haven't reacted yet.
Deng Youning pushed Han Xinxin's arm and asked the boss unhappily:
"Isn't this person someone you hired specifically to rent us the house?"
The boss cried out that he was wronged.
"Miss, you really misunderstood me!"
"My dear, who are you? You come here and ask to rent my house?"
This young man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere confused the boss.
Deng Youning looked at him carefully.
He looks like a scholar, well-mannered.
"Ladies, shopkeeper, my surname is Jiang, and my given name is Yu."
"I just arrived here and was looking for a store to do business. I think the location and layout of this store are excellent."
“Although the decoration is a bit worn, it will have a different charm with a little renovation.”
The young man's words didn't seem false, and he really meant that he was optimistic about this store.
Deng Youning stepped forward and questioned, "A family was burned to death here. Don't you mind?"
The young man smiled and said, "I read the books of sages and saints, but I don't believe in ghosts and gods."
Deng Youning clicked his tongue twice and nodded.
He looked at Han Xinxin and signaled her to leave since she was not optimistic.
Unexpectedly, Han Xinxin started to argue with that man.
"First come, first served. Just because we say we don't want it, you're ready to take it over?"
She held her hands on her waist, looking as if she was determined to take over the store.
Deng Youning was a little confused, so she pulled her aside and asked in a low voice:
"Cousin, this house is so run down, it will take time to renovate it. Aren't we planning to not rent it here?"
Han Xinxin was also helpless, "You can see, apart from this place, who else is willing to rent a store to us?"
Deng Youning said nothing more and shook her head.
As long as Han Xinxin likes it.
"Why, are you two girls planning to rent this room as well?"
With one more person competing for the house among the dental shop owners, they no longer had the respectful attitude they had shown towards Deng Youning and the others in the beginning.
I could only rent it to the two sisters for a few days. Not only would I not make any money, but it would also be very troublesome to sign the contract and register with the government.
He rolled his eyes and asked the young man, "Young man, they want to rent it for a short period of time. How long can you rent it for?"
The man chuckled and said, "If possible, I would like to ask the boss to help me contact the owner and buy it directly."
Hearing his rich words, the owner of the dental shop would be so happy that he would laugh out loud!
"My dear, you are so generous!"
"This shop is really good. Before the fire, this family was a tailor and their business was booming. I'm sure your business is booming too."
The boss was busy saying nice things.
The young man thought it was quite a coincidence, "Really? I am also good at making clothes."
Han Xinxin and Deng Youning both smiled, feeling that this young man seemed to be here to cause trouble.
They sell cloth and he makes clothes?
"Wait a minute, we will rent this shop first, and you can rent it to others after we leave."
Han Xinxin pointed at the dental shop owner's nose and warned him.
The boss disagreed, "Girl, you haven't paid the deposit, and we haven't signed a lease, so I won't rent this house to you. You can go somewhere else!"
Han Xinxin: Somewhere else?
She also wanted to, but unfortunately where could she find a suitable place to rent to them?
"No, it's just a deposit, right? I'll just give you the rent."
"Just order, it's twice the price!"
She took a bag of money from her waist and threw it into the boss's arms.
"Girl, you..."
The boss felt a little embarrassed and looked at the man again.
He obviously wanted to make money from both sides, so he carefully advised the young man:
"These two girls are rented for a short period of time. Maybe they won't be used for a month. Why don't you take a look at them and come back when they are no longer rented?"
