Lin Xiaoyue calculated in her mind that there were at least five people in a store including the shopkeeper and busboys. If the store was a little bigger, more people would be needed. In this case, "Brother Liang, we must win these stores.
I have calculated that there are 200 people in the Cheetah Army. Our teahouse and Yuanheng Inn can each have ten to twenty people. In the other shops, ranging from shopkeepers to handymen, five to ten people in each shop are more than enough. In addition,
, the book club also needs our people, and the valley, we must snatch it back."
Liang Jingyao took a candied fruit and put it into Lin Xiaoyue's mouth, and said with a smile: "I have already considered what you said. To facilitate action, I plan to have some tea with the county magistrate tomorrow and talk to him about life."
Lin Xiaoyue spit out the core of the candied fruit and asked in surprise: "Do you have a good relationship with the county magistrate of Yangming Town? Last time I saw you got the lawsuit easily, and now several storytellers in the town have come to inquire about it.
This has happened several times. Every time I see the lawsuit notice on the wall, I have to back off. Some of them have already sent word that they want to cooperate with me. I plan to let them wait for a few days before talking to them."
Liang Jingyao had to admire Lin Xiaoyue's talent in negotiation. No, it should be said that Lin Xiaoyue was very talented and perfect in all aspects! He would sometimes be envious of Lin Xiaoyue's intelligence and courage. If Lin Xiaoyue were a man, what would happen in the world?
It’s really not certain who the last name is!
"The county magistrate here was promoted by my father, but he was a low-key person. There wasn't much money in Yangming Town, so few people cared about it. After all, those with money and power have all moved to the capital. Those who are willing to stay here
At most, they are middle-class businessmen. The better ones have all gone to the capital to rent courtyards."
Lin Xiaoyue was somewhat fortunate that Liang Jingyao's father, Wang Hui, was very discerning. They had done so many things in Yangming Town, how could the county magistrate not know about it? Anyone else would have come to her door! The county magistrate's willingness to turn a blind eye showed that he was thinking
He is biased towards Liang Jingyao.
"Brother Liang, does he also know that you live in the valley? Otherwise, the coffin shop is at the foot of Yangmingshan. How could it be such a coincidence?"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said: "That's right! Back then, our family was kicked out of the capital and exiled to the north. My father was afraid that if he went to the north, he would cut off all contact with the capital. Also, if something happened, he would
I wanted to have an heir, so my father tried his best to make me fake my death on the road, and asked me to flee to Yangming Town to find the county magistrate here. After the county magistrate saw me, he let me live in the valley, and gave me the most advantageous opportunity.
The location gave us access. I saw that no one usually came to the coffin shop, so I opened a coffin shop there."
Lin Xiaoyue thought that this was probably the reincarnation of cause and effect. In the beginning, the old prince was the nobleman of the county prince, and now the county prince has become Liang Jingyao's safe haven, so it is useful to watch a good person pull him.
After dinner, Lin Xiaoyue took the time to tell stories in the front yard. Just like in the afternoon, when she said she would stay for two days, the guests were very reluctant to leave. In the end, she told the story one more time before returning to the backyard.
rest.
At this time, Zhan Hu had returned from the palace. He brought new news that the second prince had died due to excessive blood loss. Emperor Liang had punished the imperial physician Zheng. Although he was not allowed to be buried with the second prince, he still sent him to the palace.
He was demoted to a military doctor, left the palace that night, and set off for the border.
When Lin Xiaoyue heard the news, she felt that the imperial doctor had escaped. Being a military doctor was not necessarily a bad thing! In these troubled times, Emperor Liang had a bad temper. To do things for him would be to tie his head to his belt, so it would be better to be a military doctor.
Safe and free.
"The imperial doctor is going to the border to take refuge. Maybe he is still enjoying himself in his heart! By the way, has the eldest princess's son come back? Jingyi is dead, and Emperor Liang can't grant the marriage, so will he be crowned the heir apparent?"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said: "I received a letter from the eldest princess. It said that Emperor Liang has not stopped thinking about the marriage. Jiacheng will be able to enter the capital in about half a month. I just don't know that Emperor Liang is
Which girl did you choose next?"
Lin Xiaoyue felt that it was not difficult to know. After all, at the age of marriage, there were only a few families that were opposed to the eldest princess. "Brother Liang, if you write to the eldest princess, Emperor Liang will most likely find her enemy or rival."
She was dissatisfied. She wanted to know who could find it among these people. If she and Mr. Jiacheng wanted to refuse the marriage, they could ask Mr. Jiacheng to pretend to be sick, disfigured, and pretend to be crazy and stupid for a while. But any girl from a good family would not think of it.
Marry someone like this."
Liang Jingyao took a piece of rice paper, picked up his pen and said, "Yue'er is so smart, I'll write now."
Lin Xiaoyue stretched out, "You write slowly, I'll wash up and go to bed first, I have to be on the road tomorrow morning!"
Liang Jingyao put down his pen and took Lin Xiaoyue to the next room, "You sit down and rest for a while, I'll go get some water."
Soon, Liang Jingyao brought in a bucket of hot water and a bucket of cold water, "Wash quickly, I'll go out first."
Since Ge Baoquan's death, the teahouse has been replaced by Liang Jingyao's own people, so Lin Xiaoyue and Liang Jingyao no longer have to pretend to be husband and wife. Liang Jingyao left the larger east wing to Lin Xiaoyue, and he still slept in the west wing. Lin Xiaoyue said to Liang Jingyao
I am always satisfied with my gentlemanly demeanor. This should be the romance of respect.
Lin Xiaoyue didn't want to waste Liang Jingyao too much time, so she quickly washed up and asked Liang Jingyao to take away the water.
The next day, Lin Xiaoyue got up very early, but Liang Jingyao had already bought things for his godfather and godmother in advance. He had two pieces of cloth, cut half a pig, bought some sugar, a basket of eggs, and carried
I bought a live chicken, a live duck, and some ginseng, red dates, longan and other supplements, filling the whole carriage to the brim.
Lin Xiaoyue had just finished breakfast when she saw so many things stuffed in the carriage. She said with a bit of laughter: "Brother Liang, you bought too much!"
Liang Jingyao smiled and said: "What does this mean? As long as it is your family or your friend, I will treat it as my own family and my own friend. And you used to ask people to come over to help, so we have to be more polite.
.”
Lin Xiaoyue nodded. She was the apple of her godfather's eye. It was risky to let her come here to help him. It was right to buy more. Brother Liang had indeed thought more carefully about this matter.
"Okay! Now that Brother Liang is ready, I'll set off."
Liang Jingyao helped Lin Xiaoyue get into the carriage, "Zhanxiong Zhanliang, protect Yue'er! We must not let anything happen to her!"
Zhan Xiong and Zhan Liang responded: "Yes! Master, don't worry!"
Sitting in the carriage, Lin Xiaoyue felt warm in her heart while listening to the loud sounds outside...
The carriage was running forward with a bang. Lin Xiaoyue leaned on the back of the chair and was jolted out of sleep. She took a thin blanket and covered her body to catch up on her sleep.
Suddenly, officers and soldiers stopped outside and said, "Stop, let's do a routine inspection!"
