After the meal, everyone said their goodbyes and left.
Qinling decided to let the Qin family stay in the county town for another night, and also let the children have a good time to explore!
But the He family insisted on returning, while Shuiying and her clansmen stayed behind.
They took the signboard they had made beforehand and set up their fortune-telling stall in a crowded place!
Qin Luo was utterly bewildered. She grabbed Shui Ying and asked...
"Did you plan to set up a stall today all along? You even brought your sign with you?"
Shui Ying had a "I'm so awesome!" look on her face.
"Since you want to open Zeshui Pavilion, you must first understand the market. As the major shareholder of Zeshui Pavilion, you can't stop me!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo had no choice but to release her, and asked in confusion, "Major shareholder? When did this happen?"
Shui Ying took her hand and looked at her with great seriousness.
"Luo Luo, thank you! With the two hundred taels you gave us, we bought a large courtyard house, and we don't have to squeeze together anymore!"
Qin Luo affectionately ruffled her hair.
"So that's how you become a shareholder! Alright! You go ahead and get busy! This shareholder also needs to go out and look around to see if there are any other business opportunities!"
"Go! Go! I'm going to fight for the future of Zeshui Pavilion too!"
After saying goodbye, Qin Luo, holding Qin Yunyuan's hand and carrying Wu Hua, wandered around aimlessly.
When they reached a brokerage firm, Qin Luo placed Wu Hua into Qin Yunyuan's arms.
"Big cousin, wait here for me, I'm going to do my makeup!"
Without waiting for anyone's reply, he turned and disappeared into a secluded alley.
A moment later, an old man with a hunched back and a large scar on his face walked out of the alley.
If Wu Hua hadn't reminded him, Qin Yunyuan wouldn't have recognized him at all.
"Luo Luo, why are you dressed up like this?"
Qin Luo raised her wrinkled face and gave him a horrified smile.
"Big cousin, I'm your grandpa now, don't call me that!"
Then he pulled him toward the brokerage firm, where the brokers greeted the three of them warmly!
"Are you looking to see a shop or a house, gentlemen? Our brokerage firm not only offers fair prices, but also boasts some of the best properties in Weisi County."
Qin Luo changed her voice and replied, "Then tell me about the shop! It needs to be five stories!"
Upon hearing this, the broker nearly fainted from excitement, shouting to the servants behind him, "Ping An, quickly serve our honored guest tea!"
Upon hearing this name, Qin Luo and Wu Hua both turned their gazes to the lowly servant.
"Safety!"
Ping An froze upon hearing this, unsure whether to pour tea first or answer the distinguished guest's question.
Seeing him standing there motionless, the broker shouted again, "What are you standing there for? Come here!"
He walked closer, and Qin Luo confirmed that it was indeed the person she knew.
Before he could even bow, she asked, "Where is your uncle? Why aren't you studying and instead working odd jobs here?"
Ping An was baffled by her question. He thought and thought, but still couldn't remember who the three people in front of him were.
Once the broker realized they knew each other, he didn't say anything more to disturb them.
But Ping An seemed to be mute, and she was getting increasingly anxious. In the end, she couldn't help but interject.
"Sir, his uncle works at the docks and they can't afford to rent a house, so this boy works odd jobs at our brokerage. We've provided a woodshed for the two of them!"
Qin Luo recalled the scene when he first met Ping An; it seemed he hadn't left the uncle and nephew any money.
Seeing the wary look in Ping An's eyes, Qin Luo's next words put him at ease.
"Your Uncle Qin Xian opened a martial arts school on South Street, and Doctor You works there too!"
Ping An became much more enthusiastic upon hearing Qin Xian and Doctor You's names.
"Really? Can I go see them with my uncle?"
"Of course! Doctor You has been worried about whether your uncle's leg has fully healed!"
When Ping An heard her say that, tears welled up in her eyes.
"I promised Grandpa You I would definitely go see him! But I..."
Qin Luo understood what he meant; he felt that he had nothing of value.
They were afraid that if they went to someone's door without permission, others would misunderstand and think they were there to freeload.
Qin Luo didn't say anything immediately, but looked at the broker.
"May I ask your surname, madam?"
The broker quickly replied when he heard his name called.
"My surname is Guo, and everyone calls me Fourth Sister! If you don't mind, sir, you may call me Fourth Sister."
Qin Luo looked at her and nodded.
"Fourth Sister, please introduce me to a shop as soon as possible. It would be best to finalize it before dinner, as I need to take Ping An and his uncle to meet some friends later!"
This was the first time Fourth Sister had ever seen a buyer in such a hurry.
"Okay, okay, I'll get you the booklet right away!"
In the end, Qin Luo selected two five-story buildings, one six-story building, and several two-story buildings.
The group went to check out the shops without stopping.
Because it's not far away, and the employers are all nearby.
Qin Luo finished watching it around 3 PM and was quite satisfied with it.
Subsequently, one unit was ordered from the sixth floor and one from the fifth floor, and two units were ordered from the second floor.
Qin Yunyuan didn't ask her why she bought so much; he felt that Qin Luoding must have her own reasons.
His job was simply to hold Wu Hua and buy her some snacks from the street vendors.
Wu Hua had the happiest day of the day and decided that when she got back, she would teach He Sui Sui more skills.
Then, they traveled the world with Qin Luo, eating their way through all the world's delicacies.
Qin Luo and his two companions, along with several business owners, returned to the brokerage firm with the contract in hand.
Fourth Sister immediately took out her abacus and started calculating.
"The original price for the sixth floor was 1,030 taels, but the landlord said the lowest price was 970 taels. The price for the fifth floor was 730 taels. The two floors have different sizes, one is 200 taels and the other is 220 taels, for a total of 2,120 taels!"
Qin Luo didn't think it was expensive, and then asked, "How is your commission calculated?"
Fourth Sister started clicking the abacus again.
"Sir, the commission is sixty-three taels and six mace. You can pay sixty-three taels!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo told her to wait a moment, then turned and ran out of the brokerage.
Qin Yunyuan knew she had gone to get the silver, so he continued to take Wu Hua out for snacks and tea.
Before long, Qin Luo returned carrying two large bags of silver.
She handed the silver to Fourth Sister: "Count it!"
Fourth Sister and the other employees at the brokerage were stunned; they never expected her to bring cash to settle the account.
The group quickly grabbed a scale and weighed the items on the spot to confirm the amount was correct.
The money for several shops was all paid in full on the spot!
Fourth Sister asked for the name of the person who signed the contract, then grabbed the contract and ran to the yamen, afraid of missing the deadline for the clerk to leave office.
As he ran, he called out to Qin Luo, "Please wait a moment, sir, I'll go and change your contract right away!"
Seeing her hurried and energetic manner, Qin Luo smiled helplessly.
Qin Yunyuan's mind was filled with the names of the several contracts Qin Luo had mentioned.
The sixth floor is registered under Shui Ying's name, the fifth floor under Qin Yun Ning's name, and one of the two floors belongs to Qin Yun Yang and the other to him.
He felt that the reason he gave the gift to Shui Ying was probably because they were both messengers of auspicious beasts, and it was only natural that he wanted to help her!
She gave it to Qin Yun Ning because she always felt that she was responsible for her fourth uncle's death and wanted to make amends to him.
The reason for giving it to Qin Yunyang is even easier to explain. They probably thought that he would starve to death if he relied on selling art to survive!
But why give it to him? He just couldn't understand it...
