Su Li couldn't help but laugh. After watching her quickly get on the carriage, he turned around and said, "Pei Ji, congratulations on winning first place. You're amazing!"
Pei Ji was delighted, curled up the corners of his mouth, and said softly, "Thank you."
"How's your case at the Dali Temple going? I mean, the palace examination will be in a few days. Don't overwork yourself. You must be in the best condition for the exam."
She didn't tell him to study hard for the next few days. After all, whether he could do well in the palace examination couldn't be determined by cramming for a few days.
"Yes, I know." Pei Ji paused and lowered his voice, "The case will be concluded in the next two days. After the palace examination, Senior Brother will submit the results of the investigation to the emperor. The Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple is estimated to..."
Su Li was a little surprised. She didn't expect Pei Ji to say so much to her. She listened carefully to him. After they talked for a few more words, Su Li said, "It's getting late. You should go back to the Dali Temple. I'm going back to the inn."
"Well, be careful on the road..."
Su Li got on the carriage and went straight to Jufu Inn.
Along the way, Pei Mingyue was still a little excited and continued to admire Pei Ji's appearance for a long time until they arrived at the Jufu Inn.
Su Li discovered that no matter how much she admired, what was shown in his eyes was only pure admiration and praise, and there seemed to be no emotion or feelings at all.
In the original novel, Pei Mingyue died early, and she couldn't help but wonder what kind of man she would like in the future?
Early in the morning, the weather was clear and sunny.
Su Li practiced sleeve arrows in the guest house early in the morning. At noon, she packed up and went out. She first went to Mingyue Restaurant for lunch and asked about the rent of the entire shop in Mingyue Restaurant.
The Benyue Dance House on Jinxiu Street has already started advertising, and it is estimated that her shops will be available for rent soon. She needs to do a survey on shop rents and prepare to rent out the shops.
However, after asking, she found out that the Mingyue Restaurant was originally the property of the Yu family. Not only that, almost half of the shops on this street were also owned by the Yu family. She had no choice but to go to other shops to ask, and then write down the rental prices one by one.
After doing all this, seeing that it was still early, she went to the clinic again. Xiao Mu's mother and sister's condition had obviously improved. The doctor prescribed them half a month's worth of medicine and told them they could go home.
When Su Li arrived, the mother and her two sons had just walked out of the clinic and were about to go to the rented house she had told them about. When they saw her coming, they hurriedly bowed to her respectfully.
That day they were seriously ill and Xiao Mu had to take care of them, so Su Li didn't ask much about them. Now that the mother and daughter's conditions have improved, she briefly asked about their life experiences.
Xiao's mother immediately explained everything one by one.
Xiao Mu is thirteen years old this year. He and his sister Xiao Ye are twin siblings. The two siblings take their mother Xiao's surname.
Xiao's mother's name is Xiao He. She is a miserable person. She lost her orphan at a young age and her husband died in an accident not long after they got married. Her mother-in-law resented her for killing her own son and drove her out when she was pregnant. Later, she was taken in and married by the owner of a martial arts gym. After the birth of Xiao Mu and his sister, they lived a comfortable life for many years. Xiao Mu learned martial arts in the martial arts gym. But later, the owner of the martial arts gym changed his mind and fell in love with another young woman, so he drove Xiao He and her two children out. Later, Xiao He and her daughter fell seriously ill and could not be cured for a long time. This is why Xiao Mu used his martial arts skills to sell himself for treatment.
Su Li didn't say much after hearing this, but just nodded to show that he understood, and then said: "When you get to the rental house, let Su Er arrange accommodation for you."
"Yes, ma'am." The mother and her two children responded.
Su Li asked again: "Is there anything Xiao Ye is good at?"
Xiao Ye replied respectfully, "Madam, I am just like my brother, both of us are good at martial arts."
"Oh?" Su Li was surprised, "Then how does your martial arts compare to Xiao Mu's?" She had originally thought of sending her to learn makeup, but she didn't expect that she actually knew martial arts?
"Madam, I have been practicing martial arts with my brother since we were young. We both have the same martial arts skills."
To be honest, she is better than her brother in terms of Qinggong.
Su Li was very surprised to hear this. She only knew that in the original novel, Xiao Mu was a young secret guard with superb martial arts skills, but there was no mention of his sister who died early due to illness and knew martial arts. Therefore, she had no idea that Xiao Ye actually knew martial arts and was as powerful as Xiao Mu. Now she really found a treasure!
"Can you read?" she asked again.
The mother, her two children, and her two daughters all shook their heads: "These slaves have never learned to read."
"I cannot read."
Su Li said, "Su Er in the rented house is teaching everyone to read and write. When you move in, why don't you learn to read and write as well?"
"Yes, ma'am..."
After sending the mother and her two children to the rented house, seeing that it was getting dark, Su Li also walked back to the Jufu Inn.
"Madam Su, someone is looking for you."
As soon as she entered the lobby of Jufu Inn, the waiter at the counter called her.
"Who's looking for me?" Su Li asked.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a middle-aged man walking towards her from the corner of the hall: "Madam Su, it's me."
"Butler Liu?" Su Li was surprised. "I wonder what Butler Liu wants to see me for?"
Butler Liu had a smile on his face, and his attitude seemed much friendlier than the last time he sold the shop. "Madam Su, it's not convenient to talk here. Why don't we find a place to sit down and chat?"
Tsk! Could it be that she had something to ask for? But what could he possibly ask of her? Could it be...
She didn't show it on her face and said politely, "Then let's go to the guest house..."
Then she invited everyone to the guest house.
This time, Su Li did not make tea. After all, the other party would not drink it even if she made it, so why waste her time.
She got straight to the point and said, "Butler Liu, tell me, what do you want from me?"
When Butler Liu saw that Su Li didn't even give him a cup of tea and was so neglectful to him, he was extremely dissatisfied. However, since he needed a favor from others today, he had to endure it temporarily.
Of course, he remembered that he had previously disliked the other party's cheap tea, but it was his business if he disliked it and didn't drink it. Su Li didn't make tea for him, which was a lack of respect for him. He was so ignorant of etiquette that he was indeed a lowly person who was not worthy of being on the stage...
He didn't show it on his face, but smiled amiably and said, "Madam Su is straightforward, so I'll speak frankly."
Steward Liu considered his words carefully and said, "The three shops on Jinxiu Street that I sold to Madam Su were originally my wife's dowry. After selling them, my wife suddenly felt very reluctant to part with them and wanted to buy them back. I would like Madam Su to sell the three shops back to my wife. As for the price, you can use the original price."
Tsk tsk!
They are indeed worthy of being from the Duke's Mansion. Their sense of smell is really sharp. From the promotion of Benyue Dance House in the past few days, they may have noticed the future prospects of Jinxiu Street.
Look, I came here quickly to buy back the shop.
