The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 88: I want to learn from you about fighting

To open a shop, he naturally had to empty the shop. When he went out of the mansion, he would need a carriage and horses, and he had to greet and arrange with the person in charge of the household supplies. However, Lang Jiuchuan did not disturb anyone, but went out quietly.

The small house with a shop given by Old Lady Lang is located in Xunxiang Hutong, Xifang, with only two entrances. The current tenant is from the north, and is engaged in the fur and medicinal materials business, so the shop is divided into two parts, one side sells furs and the other side sells medicinal materials, and the shopkeeper is the owner.

When Lang Jiuchuan arrived, the shop was already half empty and looked quite desolate.

Dongjiazhuang Quanhai was a middle-aged man over fifty years old. He lived in the backyard with a family of seven. He was a little surprised to see Lang Jiuchuan. When he heard that she was the owner of the shop and read the shop deed, he said, "Young lady, you came at the right time. I was planning to come here too. My lease will be up in a few days, but I don't plan to renew it."

Lang Jiuchuan asked him: "But business is not good?"

Zhuang Quanhai smiled and said, "It's not that it's hard to do, but when people get old, they always want to return to their roots. Although Wujing is good, it's not a place where ordinary people like us can take root. I'll be satisfied if I can go back to my hometown to do some small business and have my family together."

Lang Jiuchuan looked around the shop and saw that although it was divided into two parts, it was very neat and tidy, not messy, and the shop was well maintained. He looked at his face and said, "If you want to go back home, you should set off in the first month of the year, and don't leave Beijing in the twelfth month."

Zhuang Quanhai was stunned. They were planning to leave Beijing and return home after canceling the lease. Maybe they could catch the Lantern Festival in the first month of the lunar year and celebrate the New Year at home.

"Your family is about to have a baby. It's cold in the twelfth lunar month and the journey is long. It's not good for the family." Lang Jiuchuan said calmly, "Please clear the goods in this shop. I want to take them back and do some repairs. If you help me keep an eye on the work, I'll let you live in the house behind until after the Lantern Festival, rent-free."

Add, add a new baby?

Who?
There are seven people in Zhuang Quanhai's family, including him, his old wife, two sons, two daughters, and the eldest daughter-in-law. The eldest son has been married for many years but has not yet had a baby, and the business is not going well, so they think that this place is not a good place for them. Before, they almost offended a noble person and caused a big disaster, so they thought of returning to their hometown to hide.

But the young lady in front of me said that there was going to be a new baby in her family?
"Let me stay here until the Lantern Festival? No rent?"

"Yes, but only if you help me supervise the work."

Zhuang Quanhai thought of his little daughter who was unhappy recently because she was leaving Beijing, so he said, "Okay, I have already asked colleagues to collect these furs, and I will clear away the medicinal materials in the next few days. If you want to repair it, you can tell me. I have a familiar craftsman who has good craftsmanship and a fair price."

Lang Jiuchuan said: "Let me take a look at the medicinal materials."

All his medicinal herbs were placed in the cabinet, so Zhuang Quanhai took some out.

Lang Jiuchuan took a quick look and said, "You don't have to clear out the herbs. Leave them all. Give me a price. I'll take them."

Zhuang Quanhai was a little surprised and asked tentatively, "Miss, do you want to open a herbal medicine store?"

Lang Jiuchuan shook his head and said, "I need it myself."

Zhuang Quanhai: “…”

That's true. This little girl looks too weak.

Lang Jiuchuan followed him to look around the shop inside and out, and already had a plan in mind. He asked him for paper and pen, and quickly drew a Tai Chi Bagua Yin-Yang formation diagram. He drew in all the things that needed to be changed about the shop, and anything that was not needed was directly demolished.

"You don't have to use any fancy materials, just insect-proof and moisture-proof wood." Lang Jiuchuan handed over the new blueprint: "The decoration of this shop will be deducted from this year's rent. If there is more, I will deduct it. If there is less, I will pay more. Thank you for your hard work."

Zhuang Quanhai took it and took a look. The blueprint was easy to understand, but the decoration was very simple. It was hard to tell what this shop was used for.

"Miss, are you really going to let me handle all of this? This is the first time we meet, aren't you afraid that I will pocket the money?" Zhuang Quanhai felt a little complicated. This feeling of being trusted by a stranger made him feel quite at a loss.

Lang Jiuchuan said: "Don't doubt people when you employ them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them. Besides, I can still make accurate judgments about people."

Zhuang Quanhai: “!”

After Lang Jiuchuan finished speaking, he left. Zhuang Quanhai sent her to the door. The thin girl in a plain green cape soon disappeared in the long street. He was lost in thought while holding the blueprint.

"Dad, Daddy."

Zhuang Quanhai turned around, and his eldest son rushed over with a happy face, hugged his shoulders, and said happily: "Dad, Xiuniang is pregnant, the doctor said she has been pregnant for two months. Dad, you are going to be a grandfather."

Zhuang Quanhai was stunned, pushed him away, ran to the door, bowed in the direction where Lang Jiuchuan disappeared, and bent down.

The girl is very kind.

Lang Jiuchuan walked along the long street, scanning the shops on both sides of the street, trying to find some traces, but there were none.

Her mind was empty. Not only did the original owner not have anything, but she also didn't have anything of her own. Could it be that she had been practicing Taoism in the mountains before?

If that's the case, he wouldn't offend people and get suppressed and killed, right?

What a mystery!

"Where are we going?" Jiang Che asked, squatting on her shoulder.

"Tsutenkaku."

The general was stunned.

Tsutenkaku is a place for buying and selling information. Is she going to buy information?
Lang Jiuchuan said, "The original owner died tragically in a mass grave at the back of the manor, with no soul left. I don't know her memories before she died. If I want to help her avenge this blood feud, I must go back to the manor to check her contacts. Now I'm in the manor, and it's inconvenient to go in and out, which has restricted my hands and feet. Even if you and I have the ability to go in and out at will, it will take time and effort to check back and forth, and we may not be able to find out everything. This is not worth it. You said there is a Tongtian Tower here, which can know everything in the world, so why not go there to take a commission."

"You want Tongtian Pavilion to investigate the original owner's life?"

"That's right. Spend some money to have them investigate. Maybe they can find out something."

"Then the money you got may not be enough. Information about Tongtian Tower is very expensive, and you are a poor guy, haha."

"As long as there is useful information, it doesn't matter how expensive it is, as long as it is useful." Lang Jiuchuan paused and said, "But you are right, how about you go and check it out?"

"I'm tired. I'll take a nap!" He rushed into the spiritual platform.

It is impossible to work, and it is even more impossible to work for nothing!

Lang Jiuchuan sneered, and found an old ghost on the street, asked him to lead the way, and took a shortcut and quickly reached the floor of Tsutenkaku.

She looked up, and her eyes were sore from the dazzling golden plaque.

It is made of real gold, so there is no need to worry about thieves.

However, this plaque also has thunder and fire symbols engraved on it. Anyone who dares to steal it will probably be blown to pieces.

So cruel!
Lang Jiuchuan pinched her itchy hand. She didn’t care whether it was real gold or not. She just wanted to practice with the fighting talisman.

"Girl, would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?" A young man in a long gown stood at the door and greeted her with a smile.
