Chapter 349 Missing
Qin Huiyin was about to go out when Song Yi brought her the information prepared by Jiang Qingnan, which listed several vacant shops in detail and wrote out their advantages and disadvantages.
Xia Ruwan looked at the information of those shops and said to Qin Huiyin, "Your brother has such capable people around him. No wonder his business is bigger than ours."
"Brother Qingnan is like a think tank and is very important to my brother. Brother Chen Yong is the strongest in martial arts and is my brother's most capable general. Brother Qibin is the dumbest, but he is the first friend who has entered my brother's heart. My brother seems indifferent, but in fact he is the most loyal and righteous, so he has always been very tolerant of him. Not to mention Brother Jinyuan and Brother Erzhu. They are good to my brother, so my brother will not treat them badly. Now my brother works in the Bingmasi. Although his official position is only sixth grade, he has a lot of say. Fortunately, he has these trusted friends who can help him solve problems, so he can sit firmly in the East City Bingmasi. If we want to open a store, it is best to choose the East City area. After all, having someone at home means everything!"
"East City is definitely our first choice. If we can't find a suitable one, we can still look for one in other areas. Your brother is so powerful, he can't always be the commander of the military. Even if he gets promoted, he won't be able to protect us forever. We'll focus on these two places later. Although they are remote, they are large and can be used more effectively."
Zou Huiyin had already walked down this street last night, and today she took them to choose a gift for Tang Yixiao first.
After choosing the gifts, they asked the attendant who followed Tang Yixiao to take the things back. They chose a nice restaurant for lunch, and then continued shopping.
The girls donned veils and approached the best local dealers, asking them to sell all their assets. After two hours of searching, they finally settled on the most remote and desolate area of East Street.
"Miss, you mean you want to buy all the houses here?" the broker said in surprise. "Although these two rows of houses are dilapidated, they add up to a considerable amount of money."
"You don't have the supply I need, so I'll have to create it myself. I want this largest store, and I also want the dozens of houses adjacent to it," Qin Huiyin said. "As for the price, that's easy to negotiate. If you can get this done, the commission you give your business will be a substantial sum."
"If this deal goes through, where can I find a girl?"
"Tang's residence on Lanxi Road."
"Then wait for good news from me, girl!"
After leaving the pharmacy, Qin Huiyin followed Xia Ruwan to visit her Xia residence.
Xia Ruwan said, "When I came in yesterday, I thought this house was nice and it really caught my eye. I immediately found the original owner and bought it."
"Really?" Qin Huiyin was surprised. "The other side also bought it, and it's in my name."
"Then we can be good neighbors forever."
"That might not be the case." Tang Luwu teased the two of them. "When you get married, you'll be living with your future husband. Are you really going to marry into another family?"
"Actually, it's not impossible. How about we find a pair of brothers to marry? You pick first, and the one left is mine. I'll accept them whether they are deaf or lame." Xia Ruwan said.
Qin Huiyin pulled back her arm and said tremblingly: "You are so perverted that I even doubt whether you are in love with me."
Tang Yixiao was going to visit Zhen Yuanzheng, so he didn't eat at home in the evening. Instead, he took two servants with him and went to Zhen's house with bags of things.
Zhen Yuan was the head of the Imperial Hospital, holding a prominent position. If he hadn't had the invitation, he wouldn't have even been able to get through the main gate. After all, there were so many people trying to show their favor.
Tang Yixiao arrived at the Zhen residence and watched as one visitor after another was turned away by the servants. The servant, seeing his ordinary attire, assumed he was another high-ranking official. It was only after seeing the letter of introduction he held and accepting his payment that he reluctantly entered to deliver the message. Not long after, the servant ushered him in.
Qin Huiyin invited Xia Ruwan to dinner at her home. They talked about the place they had chosen today and the decision they had made.
"You're planning to rebuild a street. How much will that cost?" Tang Dafu asked. "Besides, rebuilding a street will take quite a while! Wouldn't it take a year or two to open a shop?"
"Good things are never too late," Li Taohua said. "Our shop in the county is still open, and we have money coming in every month. We won't run out of money. Since we are going to open a shop in the capital, we should open it well and do it according to our own ideas."
"That's what we thought too." Qin Huiyin said, "We can hire more craftsmen and try to get this done sooner."
Tang Yichen returned. He saw Xia Ruwan, the guest, and greeted her. Xia Ruwan stood up, saluted, and sat back down beside Qin Huiyin.
Xia Ruwan didn't wear a mask when facing the Tang family, so she didn't feel uncomfortable when facing Tang Yichen. Her face was injured, but the most sad time was over, and she could face it calmly now.
When Tang Yichen saw the wound on Xia Ruwan's face, there was no surprise in his eyes. It was obvious that the Tang family had already told her what she had experienced.
After dinner, Qin Huiyin and Xia Ruwan continued to discuss the construction of the food court. They talked too late, so Xia Ruwan rested in Qin Huiyin's room.
"Seeing your brother today, is it true that no one cares about such a banished immortal?"
"How should I know? Even if someone is thinking about me, they won't tell me!" Qin Huiyin and Xia Ruwan lay together.
Su Jin walked in from outside and said to Qin Huiyin, "Miss, I have an invitation for you."
Qin Huiyin sat up, took the post, unfolded it, and looked at it. The corners of her mouth twitched: "You are such a bad mouth. Yes, the number one person who is thinking about him is here."
Xia Ruwan came over curiously, and when she saw the name on the post, she said, "Has Miss Gong not given up yet?"
"Su Jin, do you know this young lady from the Gong family?" Qin Huiyin asked, "She was originally married. How is she doing now?"
Su Jin said, "I was originally a maid in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and the master I served was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. I used to follow my former master to banquets, and I did meet this Miss Gong and heard about her. Her original fiancé was arranged by her family, and they said it was a marriage that was betrothed to her since she was a baby. However, he was a playboy who loved all kinds of beauties and was a frequent visitor to brothels. Half a year ago, it was rumored that the young man had an affair with his concubine's mother, and his father broke one of his legs, leaving him lame. The Gong family came to cancel the engagement, so this Miss Gong is currently unengaged."
"You are a maid from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, why are you here?" Xia Ruwan shifted her focus.
