Picking up a beautiful man to be your husband

Chapter 88

The rain delayed the time, and now that the rain has stopped, everyone will not delay any longer. Besides, Hao Xue's speed needs to be strengthened, and everyone leads the rain-bathed horse down the mountain and continues on the road.

Hao Xue was fine, and she didn't deliberately slow down. She tried her best to keep pace with everyone. Everyone finally rushed into the inn before dark, and locked themselves in the room to wash away the dust along the way.

Hao Xue didn't dine with Akabane and the others during the inn, so Li Ma came over to deliver her medicine.The next day, everyone was on the road again in the morning. Hao Xue was very adaptable, and gradually became more comfortable riding on the road to Lingbei City. She was able to keep up with Akabane and the others, but she felt very tired, especially her legs, which were very sore.

"Master Akabane, you guys are going to stay in Lingbei City for a few days, so I can thank you, so don't be too polite!"

Having already entered Lingbei Prefecture, Hao Xue could not help entering Lingbei City today. She couldn't help feeling excited. She hasn't been back for a long time. I don't know how her shop is doing, and whether she has been bullied.

"Hehe~ I won't refuse Chi Yu because of your kindness. Anyway, I have nothing urgent to do, but it's fine to go to the girl's house as a guest. We stay in a hotel. If you have free time, please eat and drink." Akabane is also straightforward.

"Hehe! What's the problem with this! However, I really didn't plan to invite you to my house as a guest, so please don't misunderstand me!" Hao Xue said half-ruly and half-seriously.

She really didn't think so, she always felt that it was not appropriate to invite a man to her home, unless she was very close and close friends, she still didn't know Akabane.What's more, she has no home in Lingbei City!She hasn't settled down yet, there is only one store, and the first thing she does when she goes back is to find a house.

In the evening, when everyone entered Lingbei City, Hao Xue said goodbye to Akabane and the others. After remembering the inn they stayed in, she rushed to the inn. It should be closing time now.

Sure enough, the door of Shuxin Zhai was closed tightly, and outside the door there were beggars lying down and sleeping, looking at the closed door, Hao Xue was always uneasy.She went around to the back door, from the outside she could see the faint halo of light from the yard, it was very quiet.

Hao Xue's heart skipped a beat, always feeling that something bad must happen.She knocked on the door quickly, and someone came soon.

"Who is it?" The person inside asked cautiously. The voice was Qin Ling, one of the gangsters hired by Hao Xue.

"It's me! I'm back." Hao Xue was so nervous that her voice trembled a little.

Qin Ling recognized the voice of his master, opened the door, and the two met face to face.

"Zhaizhu? That's great, you're finally back!" Qin Ling couldn't see his face clearly with his back turned to the light, but he could feel his excitement by hearing his voice.

When Hao Xue returned to the store, everything was the same as when she left, but the employees who rushed out to greet her when they heard her coming back were two less!

"Zaizhu~"

"Zaizhu~"

"Master, you are back~"

Lu Memo was so happy that she almost shed tears. She saw that everyone was very happy, but their spirits were not very good, and they looked restless and worried.

"I'm sorry everyone, I made everyone wait uneasy for so long. You have worked hard these days!" Hao Xue was so tired that she sat down with a word of reassurance, and Miao Er served tea and stood beside her.

"Where are Hei Feng and Du Er?"

Hao Xue's face was calm, but she couldn't help being nervous in her heart. She guessed that they must have suffered crimes in the store, and they were probably arrested and sent to the government.

Sure enough, Lu Meme hurriedly complained: "Master Zhai, the two of them are in the prison cell of the government..."

For a period of time after Hao Xue left, there was nothing wrong with each other, but gradually there were undecided people who came to Shuxinzhai to make troubles, and they were all suppressed by Qin Ling and Heifeng.

But there is nothing to do outside the store, the beggars come to the door every day to beg and beg, and they can only be chased away for a while, and the government people come once or twice to arrest them and release them after two days, making trouble again.

Many animals were put in the store, disgusting and scary things like snakes and mice, and even the ingredients were tampered with. The cooperative suppliers suddenly stopped selling Shuxinzhai materials, and Shuxinzhai was shut down. shop.Madam Lu went back to business after tidying up, and was punished again. After repeating this several times, the customers got annoyed, and the business also failed.

At this time, someone came to negotiate a deal, and wanted to buy all of Shuxinzhai, including the shop, the food recipes, and people.Of course Lu Meme disagreed.

Afterwards, Shuxinzhai still worked hard to keep up the pressure to open its business, just to survive.But suddenly one day, a group of people rushed into the store and said that Du Er was a thief who stole their things. The wind was taken away by the government.

No matter how brave you are, you can't fight against the government. The people in Shuxinzhai didn't dare to resist.

Everyone was very worried. Others clamored for the owner of Shuxinzhai to come out to speak, but Hao Xue was not there, so the people in the shop could not be the masters, so they could only close the shop and wait, living in an uneasy way.

Those unscrupulous merchants also said that they wanted to acquire Shuxinzhai, which made everyone even more angry, but there was nothing they could do.

This was ten days ago.

The people in the left shop and the right shop all sympathize with Shuxinzhai. They all know that there are ghosts. They know that the government colludes with others to be arrogant and unreasonable. Whoever told Shuxinzhai to be so eye-catching as soon as it opened the shop will definitely suffer from the envy and hatred of others. , Who are you going to punish?
Hao Xue knew that she was still too naive, and without Mo Yin, she felt a little guilty.Before Mo Yin, someone who bought off the government should have helped watch over it, but buying is the easiest contract to break, as long as someone with a higher hand will break the previous agreement.

At this time, Madam Lu brought a bowl of evening drinks to fill Hao Xue's stomach. Hao Xue was very heart-warming when she saw her.

"Thank you ma'am!"

"It's hard work for the owner of the shop, we just stayed all day and didn't help much..." Momo felt very sorry, it was not easy for a girl like Hao Xue to work so hard, and the people in the shop were not a bunch of idlers now.

Hao Xue took a sip and tasted something she hadn't touched for a long time. She felt better and her tense face softened.

"Those who came to talk about the acquisition, are there any people who have jumped over the building?" Hao Xue calmed down, and had to understand clearly first.

"Hui Zhaizhu, there is no one from Yuyuelou. However, if Yuyuelou wants to talk about it again, it is by someone else's hands. There must be someone from Yuyuelou among them." Lu Meome said again, and looked at it Look at Qinling.

"Yes." Hao Xue nodded.

Yuyuelou had a bad fight with Shuxinzhai, and Yu Yanqing, a profiteer, would not stop until he took down Shuxinzhai. It is likely that Yu Yanqing secretly ordered people to do these troubles.The bitch is haunted!

Qin Ling said: "Master Zhai, I went to check, and there was indeed Yu Yanqing's idea, and other people also had ideas, but in the end, the main purpose of buying our store was our prescription, which is also Yuyuelou's priority. I spied on them , They discussed together how to distribute the recipes after getting Shuxinzhai, who will get which food. Zhaizhu, we can't let them go, they are too lawless."

Qin Ling originally thought it was an easy job, just to ensure the safety of a small shop, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated. He couldn't take it easy when his brother was arrested, but he is also a citizen, and the people appreciate that they don't fight with the officials. It can be entrusted to Hao Xue.

"Why haven't Hei Feng and Du Er been released?" Hao Xue frowned, is it okay to give money?

"This... the government said that each person will be redeemed for 100 taels. It's not easy for us to make decisions... But we often visit them, and they are all fine..." Lu Meme promised.

She also wanted to save the brothers, but the amount was too big, and they didn't dare to make decisions. If she really didn't have that much money, it's not good if the store was disturbed by business, and her income was not much, so she had to wait for Hao Xue to come back. Besides.

Hao Xue knew that it was difficult for them, as long as she could release someone and spend some money, it would be nothing, and she would not be reluctant to part with this little money.It's just that spending money all the time is not the fundamental solution to the problem, it will only make those people more greedy.

Hao Xue was thinking about what to do, but couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, and wanted to rest first and talk about it tomorrow, when she suddenly remembered what Mo Yin said.

"Qin Ling, you go to see Hei Feng and Du Er tomorrow, and tell them to wait a few more days. You go to the government office to find out if there are any changes in the city, especially the city official Yu Chao."

"Yes!"

Mo Yin said that this corrupt official has been targeted by Qi Qifu for two months, so someone should fix him, right?
"Don't be in a hurry to open until Du Er's business is settled. In terms of the store, I will find a good supplier again, and don't contact the previous ones." Cooperating with untrustworthy merchants will suffer losses sooner or later, and she has already suffered losses. .

"Is there anyone else making trouble outside the store?"

Hao Xue thought of the beggar he saw outside blocking the main entrance.After closing the shop at night, he can lie down whenever he likes, and he has to leave during the day, if it is also blocked during the day, don't blame her for being rude.

"Yes, I can't drive you away..." Lu Meme was helpless.

Hao Xue mouthed "tsk" and sneered: "Tomorrow, boil the water, open the door to see if there is someone blocking the door, then pour boiling water out for me, regardless of whether the camp is open or not, the front door must be cleaned every day. .Also, Qin Ling, give me a list of the big bosses behind those troublemakers, their names, what stores they run, and everything you know."

"Yes!"

Hao Xue was also tired today, so she asked Miao Er to prepare hot water for her to take a bath after giving her orders. Her body was sore from horseback riding these days, and she had to get up early tomorrow to see the house, how tired she was!
After Hao Xue cleaned up, she rested in Miaoer's room, and she went to join Lu Meme.

Hao Xue slept soundly that night. Although the things in the store were disturbing, they were not things that could not be solved. Hao Xue didn't worry too much. Isn't that what business is like?Other than that, Hao Xue had nothing else to worry about. When she returned to her small shop, surrounded by trustworthy people, she felt much more secure and comfortable.

The next day, Hao Xue got up a little later, she went out after eating something, and tried to get the house done within a day.

After looking for Yazi to look at the house all morning, Hao Xue decided to buy a house with one courtyard and one hall.She lived in the yard, and there was a small room in the other kitchen and woodshed, and maybe someone would be hired.With only Hao Xue alone, this house can be considered a luxurious single residence.
