Just now I saw an official blackmailing the old woman on the roadside, but now it fell on me.
It's only half the night, has the chaos in Beijing already reached this level?
Normally, Hua Xiaogu would probably spend money to ward off troubles. It's not that she's afraid of trouble, but spending some money is indeed the most convenient way to solve this kind of trouble.
But now, all of Hua Xiaogu's money had been given to the old woman just now.
"Here... the gentlemen, please come in and take a rest. Although the shop is not open yet, it still has good wine." Hua Xiaogu gritted his teeth and got out of the way.
If you don’t have money, you can give me two bottles of good wine, right?
"Wine?" When the official heard this, his expression relaxed, and the expression on his face softened: "That's okay, I have been busy all morning, so I just want to drink some wine to relieve fatigue."
Hua Xiaogu also breathed a sigh of relief, temporarily pulled two excited carpenters out of the way, and invited the officials into the house.
"Go to the wine cellar and get some wine." Hua Xiaogu whispered to one of the carpenters.
After all, the carpenter was not a servant. When he heard this, he scratched his head in a dull manner: "What kind of wine do you want?"
"Didn't we just put a batch into storage yesterday? Let's use those for emergency purposes first."
It is true that a batch of new wine just arrived yesterday, which is the new wine of the season sent by Tianjia Winery.
After a while, several idle carpenters helped and brought several jars of good wine up one by one.
When several officers saw the wine coming, they really smiled: "Okay, we'll take the wine away. You should close the shop quickly so as not to offend others. If we report you, there's nothing we can do." He said,
Several officials picked up a jar of wine each and left the place in a grand manner.
Hua Xiaogu saw off the official and finally slumped his shoulders. He turned around and waved to the people in the room: "We won't start work today, everyone should go back first."
Everyone packed up their tools, greeted Hua Xiaogu one by one, and left the store.
Looking at the empty store, Hua Xiaogu was still sighing in her heart. Fortunately, she hadn't hired any staff yet. Otherwise, if the store kept delaying its opening and didn't know when it would open, wouldn't it mean that a day of idle time would mean a waste of money?
"Girl, let's...?" The coachman entered the shop, looked at Hua Xiaogu and stared at the shop in a daze, and finally asked after a long while.
"Go back, I don't know what's going on at Lan Qing's place. According to this situation, most of the business will not be done recently." After Hua Xiaogu finished speaking, he turned back and picked up the door panels on the side, and worked with the coachman to remove the store door panels piece by piece.
Move it to the door. Finally, lock the door, take the key and climb onto the carriage parked nearby.
Before the carriage could start moving, there was another burst of noise not far away.
"stop!"
The driver didn't know what was going on, so he stopped and looked back.
"What's going on again?" Hua Xiaogu muttered helplessly, stretched out his hand to open the curtains, and looked out.
Not far away, the group of officials from before came unexpectedly again. However, at this moment, their faces showed completely different expressions from before.
"Stop! Get down!" The leading official walked to the side of Hua Xiaogu's carriage and hit the carriage's board with the handle of the broadsword in his hand.
Hua Xiaogu lifted the door curtain and leaned out half of his body: "Master, our store is closed. Is there anything else?"
The officer raised his eyebrows and asked, "Tell me! Is the boss behind your store the Tian family?"
