Chapter 186 People in the Next Yard



When the weasel heard that Su Qi and Gu Beiheng had arrived at the inn, he was waiting early with the account book in hand to be called over.

When he heard the servant say that Su Qi was looking for him, he hurriedly ran with his fat short legs.

The weasel is fat and when it runs it looks like a fat cat without legs moving left and right.

It's particularly funny.

He stopped at the gate of the yard, panting and wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Ouch, it takes too much time to run.

He reached out and knocked on the gate. "Ma'am, I'm Weasel."

"Come in." Su Qi's voice came from inside.

The weasel straightened his clothes and glanced at someone on the side of the road staring at him.

He pretended to tidy up his clothes calmly while glancing over again.

This person seems to have lived here for several days.

They also rented a separate yard, and at that time they gave it to the yard near Su Qi and the others because they wanted a quiet space.

The pair of sparkling little eyes on the weasel's fat face turned several times, and then walked into the yard.

The gate is closed.

The man still stood there with a stern expression, muttering to himself for a while and then walked into his yard.

When the weasel came in, he saw Su Qi sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the yard, with two pots of charcoal burning at his feet.

"Madam, why are you not in the house?" the weasel asked curiously.

It's a bit unwise to sit in a drafty pavilion in the middle of winter.

The sound of ping-pong fighting came from the room.

The weasel was startled, but when he saw Su Qi's contented look, his heart, which had been beating in his throat, calmed down a little.

"Sit down."

Su Qi pointed to the stool opposite.

The weasel bent over and smiled, "Madam, the hot pot restaurant is doing very well this month, and our Liu Family Inn is also doing very well."

"This is this month's account book. Look at the profits. They're quite good." The weasel lowered his voice. "Ma'am, I think I did something stupid. There are two young people living in the yard next door. I noticed they were very curious about our yard."

The weasel spoke in a low voice, bending over and whispering.

Su Qi paused holding the account book, "When will you move in?"

"It's been a few days. It just so happened that the inn was doing good business those days, and I thought it would be a waste to leave the yard next door empty."

Su Qi shifted his gaze away from the account book.

"Send someone to keep an eye on it. That courtyard is several meters away from Qingfeng Garden, so it's okay to have someone stay there on weekdays."

Su Qi flipped the account book lightly with her fingers, thought for a moment and said, "Manager Huang, you should buy some land nearby. We should also add to the building if necessary."

"Alright. I'll get started right away."

"Mingfeng Town will definitely develop greatly in the future. We can build an inn there, and we'd better take up a large area. It would be best if it were around 20 acres, not in the center of the town."

"You will be the general manager then, and each side will send a manager to be in charge." Su Qi raised the corner of his eye.

"I heard that you have acquired a piece of land. How about building an inn next to it?" The weasel asked with a smile, squinting his eyes.

Su Qi's eyes rolled a few times, and she nodded approvingly. "Okay. You build it in the north, just south of Mingfeng Town."

After Su Qi finished speaking, she turned her gaze to the account book.

Good job.

There are still many rich people in Yunxian County.

In addition, many merchants traveling from south to north passed by here.

This month's earnings have been substantial.

Even the inn's revenue is three times the usual amount.

"Very well done. We can organize activities during the Spring Festival and advertise the end-of-year fireside gathering." Su Qi thought about the suggestion.

"End of the year gathering?"

Su Qi nodded, "We can deliver takeout on New Year's Eve. The hot pot base and dishes will be delivered to the customer's home, allowing them to enjoy the delicious Gu's hot pot without leaving home."

"Let the New Year atmosphere of Gu's Hotpot enter thousands of households." Su Qi said casually.

The weasel couldn't help but cheer in his heart.

"Madam, I will send someone to write leaflets right away."

"Guests staying in the inn should also feel the warmth of home. We can send them some small gifts." Su Qi thought about the small gifts for the Spring Festival and asked Weasel to go to Mengjiazhuang to discuss this matter with Xia He.

The weasel agreed immediately.

The fighting in the room stopped.

"Bang~."

Su Qi was startled by the sound.

The weasel stiffened for a moment, then saw the door fly out and fall to the ground.

Gu Beiheng and Su Tianze walked out as if nothing had happened. They smiled awkwardly and said, "Just exchanging martial arts."

Su Qi rubbed her brow and glared at Gu Beiheng and Su Tianze unhappily. "Are you two trying to destroy the house?"

Su Tianze laughed, "Second sister. Big brother is just testing your brother-in-law's skills. He is indeed much stronger than me."

Looking at Gu Beiheng again, he looked calm and composed.

The weasel hurriedly saluted, and Gu Beiheng raised his hand slightly to let him stand up. "Manager Huang, please find someone to fix the door."

"Okay. I'll go right away." The weasel bowed and left.

Su Tianze and Gu Beiheng sat in the pavilion.

Su Qi handed the account book to Gu Beiheng and said, "Beiheng, the inn is very profitable. I'll talk to Manager Huang about opening another inn in Mingfeng Town, closer to the trade market."

Su Qi looked at Su Tianze again, "Brother, why don't you do some business here too?"

Su Tianze didn't think so much.

But when I think about how Su Qi and his wife have to support so many people, they spend money like water.

"Okay. I plan to open a shop here." Su Tianze thought for a moment and said, "I'm interested in both the teahouse and the escort agency."

Gu Beiheng put down the account book in his hand and looked at Su Tianze, "Brother, how about we open a bank?"

"I own a small bank, which is naturally not as good as the big banks nowadays."

"Then let's become stronger and bigger." Su Tianze chuckled.

"Okay. Let's open a money shop together." This was exactly what Gu Beiheng was thinking.

He could see that Su Tianze actually had a lot of ideas about doing business.

The weasel had already brought people over to repair the gate. He walked over with a sullen look on his face and whispered, "Madam, Master, there are a few people in the next yard who don't look like they're from the Dashun Kingdom."

Gu Beiheng looked at the weasel in confusion.

"Someone in the next yard was staring at this place just now." The weasel didn't dare to look at Gu Beiheng at all, and only half raised his small eyes.

Su Tianze looked at Gu Beiheng knowingly.

Gu Beiheng nodded slightly and said, "Brother, feel free to dispatch some of the people here. Qiqi and I will be leaving the city soon."

"And the matter of County Magistrate Zhou is left to you."

Su Tianze nodded, "You should leave from the back. I don't know if the people in the neighboring yard are being cautious or if they are targeting you intentionally."

"That's fine. Yingyi and the others will tell you what happened when they come back. You can handle it then, but remember to protect Zhou Huaan's family." Su Qi thought of Zhou Huaan's wife, who was also a gentle woman.

"I understand. I, your brother, know my limits." Su Tianze touched Su Qi's hair and glared at Gu Beiheng unhappily, "Is the hairpin on my sister's head so shabby?"

Su Qi waved her hand.

"Brother. It's good enough for me to be able to wear gold now." Su Qi opened her hands and gestured to Su Tianze to look at her fine cotton outfit.

Su Qi and Gu Beiheng were both dressed in fine cotton.

Su Tianze sighed.

Su Qi could have been given any good material, but now she could only wear fine cotton.

Su Tianze felt like he was about to vomit blood.

Several people entered the room while talking.

On the wall of the yard next door, a pair of captivating eyes stared thoughtfully at the yard of Su Qi and others.

There was shock and disbelief in the man's eyes.

Seems to have been hit.

Su Qi and Gu Beiheng no longer paid attention to these things. They left here through the secret passage in the yard.

Then the weasel also left the yard.

Only Su Tianze was left inside. After a while, several figures landed in the yard, and Su Tianze conspired with them for a while.

Then the people dispersed again.

The courtyard not far from them was under surveillance by people sent by Su Tianze...

night.

Su Qi and Gu Beiheng rode their little red horses towards Hulu Mountain.

The two did not plan to take action in Jinyang Prefecture.

That would be too big a target, and I don't want to attract attention to Jinyang Prefecture.
