Chapter 178 Am I Assassinated? 3
After tossing around for most of the night, Miao Yinshu finally had a good night's sleep. When she was still sleepy in the morning, she was woken up by the noise in the yard.

When she got dressed and went out, she saw Feng Xiaoqing and Chrysanthemum being scolded by Cui Gu so that they kept their heads down and did not dare to make a sound, while the other three girls obediently listened to the scolding.

"Nurse, why are you so angry so early in the morning?" Miao Yinshu asked innocently, not knowing that she was the culprit.

Feng Xiaoqing looked up at her sadly, twitched the corners of his mouth, and wanted to complain, but seeing Cui Gu's temper was very strong, he was too frightened to speak.

"These two girls, they slept until the sun was high and they didn't get up. If it wasn't for the servants who came to see why the young lady hasn't gone to the banquet hall to eat, I don't know that they are still sleeping in!" Cui Gu said angrily, "Look at the servant , Xiaoqing must have encouraged the newcomer!"

When Feng Xiaoqing heard this, he immediately showed an expression that I was wronged, but it was an indisputable fact that he and Chrysanthemum overslept, so he could only bow his head in aggrieved silence.

Chrysanthemum bit her lower lip angrily, worried and nervous in her heart, fearing that the master would also get angry and drive her away.He wanted to ask for forgiveness, but it can be seen that Xiaoqing didn't dare to speak up to defend herself, and she was too frightened to speak.

"Haha! Haha! Nanny, don't blame them for going to bed late, the main reason for this is still me!" Miao Yinshu stuck out her tongue secretly, understanding the reason.

"Miss, you are in the capital now, not in Shilipo's mansion. You allow the maids to rebel randomly, and the slaves don't say much! But now in the capital, what kind of studio do you want to open in the mansion in the future? Set up the rules for the girls, what if I offend the distinguished guests in the future?" Cui Gu's temperament seems to have undergone a huge change after the incident in the Miao Mansion, she is no longer the submissive and timid character she used to be. Things have become a lot more vigorous.

Although Miao Yinshu didn't like her previous temperament, and felt that her sudden change was a bit unacceptable, but thinking that she might just want to use this to forget those unbearable past events, and then wanted to stand up in front of the new servant. Wei, so, he didn't care too much about being a peacemaker and said: "Nurse is right, I know it too, and I understand your painstaking efforts better. However, it was indeed because of me that I let the two of them sleep late." Oh, I overslept today! You can teach me a few words, and just let them not be an example!"

"Even if it's because they served the young lady to sleep late, but they are slaves, they should put their masters first, how can they forget their own identities because of the young lady's love and favor." Cui Gu still said with a serious face, "However, Since the young lady interceded for you, and because this is the first time you have made a mistake, let's bypass you once and not impose a big punishment!"

"Yes! I know I was wrong!" Feng Xiaoqing immediately pulled the chrysanthemum to admit his mistake as soon as he saw a turning point.

"However, the punishment you should receive is still necessary!" Cui Gu gasped as she spoke, "I will punish you to clean up the weeds in the entire yard today, and you will not be allowed to sleep until it is cleaned up!"

"Ah?" Feng Xiaoqing wailed suddenly. He wanted to go out with the young lady to find a shop today, and said that brother Qi Zi and sister Xiaohong were coming soon!

"Do you have an opinion?" Cui Gu asked calmly.

"No! I have no opinion!" Aunt Cui is no better than before, Feng Xiaoqing hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands.

"Okay, go to work quickly, or you won't be able to sleep tonight, and you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning!" Miao Yinshu gave the two of them a helpless look, shrugged and went in to wash up.

Now that the home is stable, it is necessary to confirm the store and wait for Qi Zi and the others to come to Beijing.

After a hasty breakfast, Miao Yinshu and Leng Jianxiao's big tail that couldn't be shaken off and Liuli took to the street. Xiao Zhao'er and Yan Zhi were given homework by Leng Jianxiao, and the foodie little fat girl Exception did not follow.

In fact, today's task is considered simple, because I have seen several shops before, just confirm it again, and then make a counter-offer or something, and it will be settled.Then, taking advantage of the time when Zhong Qi and the others went to Beijing, they would decorate the shop that was about to open, and recruit a few long-term workers, so they could open the shop just waiting for people to arrive.

Of course, Leng Jianxiao went to visit the few shops he found this time. He definitely avoided the branch halls and main hall of Xuanhutang. There are three big characters in Xuanhutang.

South Street has been full of flowers and full moon. Although the business is good, Miao Yinshu is not planning to open a branch, because she wants to gain a firm foothold in the capital under the banner of rare things, instead of blooming everywhere, it will be worthless.

First of all, I went to the nearest East Street first, opened the curtains to watch the lively scene of people coming and going, and the most frequented on the spacious road were luxurious carriages, Leng Jianxiao suggested: "This is far from the emperor. The mansions where the nobles live are closer, and the people who walk along this street are also high-ranking officials, who can open pet shops!"

"Well! That's right. Anyway, there are not as many people who keep pets as they eat snacks. The only thing that matters is that they are precious and rare, and they must have spare money and leisure!" Miao Yinshu nodded in agreement.

However, the house price on this East Street is really outrageously expensive. A single-room frontage without a backyard will cost 4000 taels of silver, which is much more expensive than the Huahaoyueyuan shop on South Street at that time.fortunately

After some bargaining, it was finally settled at 500 taels. Miao Yinshu hurriedly asked Leng Jianxiao to find a carpenter, who came and drew the blueprints according to her gestures, and asked the carpenters to make small cages one by one.There are also sinks and food troughs inside the cage, and the upper and lower ones are separated to facilitate the collection of pets' feces.

The craftsmen didn't know what it was, so they curiously typed one out according to the shape, but they still didn't see any tricks.

But Miao Yinshu told them mysteriously that as long as their workmanship passes the test, there might be a lot of business waiting for them in the future!

The craftsmen are naturally skeptical, but the current work still needs to be done with all their heart.

These cages have hooks, and some are placed in ordinary places. They are prepared to raise land and air birds such as chinchillas and parrots.

We also need to build some pools for breeding small goldfish, small turtles, etc., so the requirements for water leakage will be higher. After placing an order for the craftsmen and giving a deposit, Miao Yinshu and the others set off to visit the shop on North Street. .

North Street is obviously relatively backward compared to the other three directions. Just like in later generations, even in the most developed areas of the country, there will still be a few places that are relatively poor and backward. This North Street is the poorer people in the capital. occupy more space.

Miao Yinshu remembered that when they first came to Beijing years ago, Leng Jianxiao took them to the Xuanhutang on North Street for dinner, and met Shen Yupei and Liuli here.

Leng Jianxiao obviously thought of the dramatic scene in the past, and obviously wanted to avoid some familiar faces, but still met a person he was least willing to meet.Fortunately, he himself has no time to follow Sister Yin Shu, so he forced a big tail.

Liuli felt his unfriendly eyes, and stared back fiercely.Although the master did not punish her for the sake of Miss Miao yesterday, and gave him her soft sword for self-defense before leaving, she knew that as long as the task of protecting Miss Miao was over, she still had to go back to the main hall. punished.

And the culprit of all this is this stinky man. Since she met her two years ago, she hasn't had any good luck.

Leng Jianxiao stared back, and said to himself: I haven't settled with you yet, but you still hold grudges till now!
In fact, two years ago, Leng Jianxiao really couldn't be blamed.

At that time, after he taught the people in his hometown some preparations for Miao Yinshu's drought resistance, he got a mission, and when he was performing the mission, he met Liuli.

He could swear to God that he really didn't mean to touch a soft spot of her at that time, it was definitely a coincidence, a big coincidence.

But the girl immediately turned cold, and without asking him the reason or listening to his excuse, she drew her sword and pointed at him.Dang even ignited his arrogance, and simply played tricks on her on purpose, so the beam ended like that.

"Look at the two of you staring at each other. What I know is that you two are not on good terms, and you often quarrel. Those who don't know think that you are flirting!" After a hard meal yesterday and another cry, After venting all the depression in her heart, Miao Yinshu was still in a good mood today, so she looked at them and joked.

"Hmph!" Liuli snorted coldly, and turned her head away.

Leng Jianxiao was not afraid of death and said: "I really want to flirt with her, but she only has one person in her heart, so why would she care about me! Sigh! It's really sad!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Li's face turned green and red alternately, and she pressed her fingers on her waist, looking like she was going to fight again.

"Did I say something nonsense? I didn't make nonsense..." Leng Jianxiao still wanted to tease her, but Miao Yinshu immediately stopped him when he saw something was wrong.Fighting on the carriage would mean dismantling her precious carriage.

Then he smiled at Liuli embarrassedly: "Miss Liuli, don't be serious with him! This guy just likes to take advantage of his mouth, he is not a bad person!"

"Where am I talking..." Leng Jianxiao was dissatisfied with Miao Yinshu's words about himself, and wanted to protest.

"Don't say a few words to me, otherwise you will make Miss Liuli angry and beat you with a sword!" Miao Yinshu glanced at him and said, "Okay, take me to the shop quickly, and we can have dinner after reading it !"

When it came to business, Leng Jianxiao immediately restrained his smirk, led Miao Yinshu to the shop he had been looking forward to the day before, and said: "I saw two shops on the North Street, both of which have backyards! The backyard is larger, one shop is larger, and the difference between the two is 100 taels of silver. I usually only see more people buying rice on the North Street, so it should be good to have a rice shop here!"

After Miao Yinshu's family looked at it, they finally decided on the one with the big backyard and a yard.It's not that this set is 100 taels cheaper, but that she also wants to take out more rice in the space at one time, which saves more times. First, it is troublesome, and second, it is inconvenient and easy to expose.

Today, there is a snack shop in the south, a pet shop in the east, a rice shop in Beishi, and a medicine shop in the west.The west side is the only way to get in and out of the capital, and the pharmacy is convenient for people who travel to buy a lot of medicinal materials for later use.

After finishing all this in one go, Miao Yinshu said generously, in order to celebrate her family's four distinctive industries settling in the capital, she invited them to have a big meal at the Liujin Restaurant.

Leng Jianxiao and Liuli were not Xiao Zhaoer and Little Fat Girl, but they were noncommittal, she decided as she wished.So, the boss Jiaoxue who was most respected by Miao Yinshu pulled the carriage to the most luxurious gilt restaurant.

After crossing the small streets and alleys, when he was about to turn to the main street, Leng Jianxiao's expression suddenly changed, and Liu Li immediately put his hand on the mechanism of the soft sword at his waist vigilantly.

"Hey! Don't you guys? Why are you going to turn your face again?" Miao Yinshu, who didn't realize the crisis and didn't feel the danger, looked at the two in amazement, and wanted to make fun of them by the way.

However, as the carriage suddenly bumped, the snow outside let out a long hiss, and when Leng Jianxiao said "be careful", he had already pressed Miao Yinshu on the seat.
