Rebirth of Doting Houmen's Noble Wife

Chapter 137 A Lesson to the Evil Slave (3)
"Is the guest officer here to buy wine?" The shopkeeper's voice was a little hoarse, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Hehe, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful lady come to buy wine." The shopkeeper smiled heartily, his face full of friendliness.

"My lady is here to deal with your shop." Wen Xia said with a smile.

"From the store? What the lady said is true?" When the shopkeeper heard Wen Xia's words, a touch of excitement burst into his eyes.

"I don't know what to call the shopkeeper, but I think the location of your shop is not bad, and the shop is not small, so you're willing to cash it out." Rong Ruo looked at the shop seriously, you can't tell it from the outside, but you can find it when you come in. , is still a very spacious shop, and the house is still very new, it seems that it has just been renovated.

"Oh, my surname is Cao. I can't help myself. Miss can tell that my shop has just been renovated. I've been selling wine here all my life. It can be said that this shop has been passed down from generation to generation in my family. I don't want to cash it out either," the shopkeeper Cao sighed deeply, scanning the wine shop, his eyes were full of reluctance.

"What is the treasurer Cao's secret?" Rong Ruo looked at the expression on the shopkeeper Cao, and knew that he had no choice but to withdraw the money.

"Well, I have a son who is spoiled, ignorant all day long, and makes troubles with some dandies everywhere. A few days ago, their gang of dandies beat up the son of the servant of the Ministry of Rites. He was caught by others, and his legs were broken." Thinking of his unfilial son, the shopkeeper Cao was furious.

"Fortunately, the servant's wife loves money. She said that she would give out 10 taels of silver, so let's forget about it. In order to keep things quiet, those young masters promised to give money. My unlucky son also asked for 5000 taels of silver."

"Our family is just ordinary people. We got so much money from there. We can only sell this ancestral shop and borrow some from everywhere to see if we can get it together." Cao Changgui sighed deeply. , looked up and smiled a bit reluctantly.

"Oh, ah, let's not talk about this, this lady, see how much money you can give me. This shop has a backyard, and the backyard is very big. Our whole family lives here. Come, miss, follow me to the back Take a look." Shopkeeper Cao led Rong Ruo and Wen Xia to the backyard.

In the back is a small courtyard, a house with three entrances, jars of wine are neatly arranged in the small courtyard, and there is a small field in the east of the small courtyard, which is filled with various green vegetables.

"Miss, see if you are satisfied. I know our place is not worth too much money, so I won't ask for more. This shop can only be worth 3000 taels. If the lady thinks it is too expensive, you can lower it a bit." Shopkeeper Cao Said honestly.

"If you sell this shop, where will your family live?" Looking at everything here, Rong Ruo knew that his family lived here all year round.

"Of course I want to move out. Find a cheap place to rent a house. There is no other way. If the lady needs a shopkeeper or a man, I hope that the lady will let me work here." The shopkeeper Cao said a little embarrassed .

Wen Xia looked at the old shopkeeper Cao, and felt a trace of pity in his heart, thinking that his father, whom he had not seen for many years, should also be aging for the sake of life.

"Miss, what do you think?" Wen Xia looked at her own lady nervously. She actually hoped that the lady would buy the shop. It was really difficult to see the shopkeeper Cao.

"Not bad, I'm also very satisfied, what do you think?" Rong Ruo looked around and asked Xia's opinion with a smile.

Asked Xia was a little confused by the question, what opinion can she have as a servant, "It's fine if Miss likes it."

"Well, I really like this place too. It's not far from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and there's room for wine making." Rong Ruo nodded in satisfaction.

"Since Miss looks satisfied, let's go up front and discuss the price." Shopkeeper Cao saw that Rong Ruo liked her, and a flash of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

"Okay." Rong Ruo nodded with a smile.

"You are Ms. Shangguan. Look, how much can you offer?" Shopkeeper Cao invited Rong Ruo to the only two chairs in the shop, and looked at Rong Ruo nervously.

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Cao, my lady is fine." Seeing the nervous expression on Shopkeeper Cao's face, Wen Xia said with a smile.

"Well, shopkeeper Cao also knows that I am a young lady who has not left the cabinet, and it is not easy to manage here. This shop is still left to you to take care of. I will give you 5000 taels of silver to exchange for your shop, and ask your whole family to help I make wine. What do you think?" Rong Ruo smiled slightly, with a touch of discussion in his words.

"5000 taels? Are you telling the truth? Well, my shop is worth 3000 taels at most. It's too much for me to be the shopkeeper." At first glance, shopkeeper Cao seemed to give 5000 taels of silver, The bottom of his heart immediately became excited, but he thought that the shop was not worth that money, and he couldn't ask for the extra 2000 taels.

"It's okay, I believe that the value that shopkeeper Cao can bring to me will be more than the 2000 taels. I will give you five grains of silver per month for the wages of you and your wife. When the shop becomes profitable, I will naturally give it to you." A wage increase." Rong Ruo said with a smile.

She could tell that Shopkeeper Cao was an honest man who had been brewing wine for generations, so she would save the effort to find someone who was proficient in brewing wine.

"But, Miss, I can't take more of your 2000 taels of silver, no, you can give me 3000 taels, I would be very grateful to my shop, how can I let you take so much more money?" Cao said. The shopkeeper waved his hands, his face full of gratitude and disapproval.

"Then I'd like to borrow from you." Rong Ruo didn't mind, and said with a smile.

"Well, thank you, Miss Shangguan, thank you, thank you, you are our family's benefactor." Shopkeeper Cao knelt down to kowtow to Rong Ruo as he said that, Rong Ruo hurriedly stood up and helped him up.

After signing the contract, Rong Ruo happened to have the bank notes found from shopkeeper Hu, and Rong Ruo simply ordered the shop.

"Miss, let's go to the carriage quickly, it's really hot today, it's been summer for so long, and there hasn't been any rain, it's going to be so hot." Wen Xia was afraid that Rong Ruo would be exposed to the sun, so When I got out of the carriage, I brought an umbrella, even though there was an umbrella covering my head, the gradually hot air did not dissipate at all.
