After the system ran, I took off with my family

Standing in the aisle, Zhou Yaqi pointed to the left side of the small courtyard and introduced: "This is the kitchen. There is a firewood shed next to the kitchen. There is a side door in the firewood shed, which is convenient for people to go in and out for shopping."

Then he pointed to a small open space on the right side of the aisle and said, "That's where the well is. There's also an open space for washing."

After looking at the small courtyard, Zhou Yaqi led them to the end of the corridor, opened the door, and everyone came to the backyard.

The backyard is very large, with a main room, two east and west wing rooms, as well as a stable, a warehouse, etc.

Afterwards, they went to the next shop, the layout and area of ​​which were almost exactly the same as the shop on the left.

After looking at the two shops, Lin Shuyue asked curiously, "The locations and layouts of these two shops are very good, why haven't they been sold? Maybe there are some conditions?"

Normally, shops in this area of ​​South Street are in very short supply. If you don't have other conditions, you won't get a chance to own one.

Zhou Yaqi raised his eyebrows. This Miss Lin's words were really to the point.

He looked at the expressions of the three people and explained, “Miss Lin guessed correctly, the reason why this shop has not been sold is indeed due to the request.

These two shops were the dowry of the wife of a Jinshi who passed the imperial examination in April this year.

After passing the imperial examination, the gentleman got a job as a county magistrate in another place. Now that he has settled down, his wife and family want to move to the post, so they are thinking of selling the two shops.

However, the lady asked the buyer to buy both shops together and was unwilling to sell them separately.

As a result, people who came to see the shop were stumped by this request. After all, the price of a shop in this area is already high, let alone buying two shops together. "

The new imperial examination that Zhou Yaqi mentioned refers to the first spring examination held after the new emperor ascends the throne.

Candidates from all over the country who had passed the autumn examination would rush to the capital early after the New Year. After passing the joint examination, they would go on to take part in the palace examination.

Lin An suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Then how much is this shop worth?"

Zhou Yaju shook his head and explained, "Although this shop is owned by our company, it is managed by the lady's brother, so you have to negotiate the price with him."

Lin Shuyue was indeed quite satisfied with the two shops. Finally, with the help of Zhou Yaqi, they bought the two shops for 350 taels of silver.

After receiving the freshly-made deeds, Li asked curiously, "Ayue, what are your plans for these two shops? Are you going to rent them out like the two shops you bought before?"

Lin Shuyue shook her head and said mysteriously, "Mom, we will use this shop ourselves and not rent it out. You will know when I go back and draw a blueprint."

"You girl, you are so mysterious." Li pinched her face with amusement.

After returning to Wutong Lane, Lin Shuyue said hello to Lin An and Li and then locked herself in the room. She did not leave the room until Qinghe knocked on the door at noon to remind her that it was time for lunch.

After lunch, Lin Shuyue called Lin An and his wife who were about to go back to the backyard, and took out the drawings she had drawn in the morning.

"Dad, Mom, look."

Lin Shuyue handed the blueprint to Lin An and said, “I plan to connect the two shops and use them as branches of Xunweilou.

After the shop was connected, the front was the lobby, and of the two small courtyards in the middle, only the left courtyard remained. The walls of the two backyards were also opened up to create a dozen private rooms. Some flowers and plants were planted on the open space, and two pavilions were built. In this way, it is not much different from those restaurants. "

Lin An and his wife carefully looked at the layout drawn on the drawing. After hearing their daughter's introduction, they couldn't help but nod in agreement: "It's really good. This change is quite unique."

"By the way, I plan to set up a small shop here to sell our family's things."

Lin Shuyue pointed to one side of the shop on the blueprint and explained, "You are all familiar with the taste of the lotus roots, fish, shrimps, crabs in our lotus pond and the fruits in our orchard. I believe that once customers have tasted them, they will be in great demand.

The most important thing is that most of the people who can come to Xunweilou to eat are those who are willing to spend money, so we can sell it in limited quantities at a high price."

How could she bear to sell the food that was watered with spiritual spring water at the market price? Only a high price would be worthy of its deliciousness.

Lin An and Li knew that Lin Shuyue would water the lotus pond and fruit trees with spiritual spring water from time to time, so they naturally knew that the things in their own home were special. They both agreed with their daughter's proposal.

"Okay, your mother and I will listen to you." Lin An's attitude remained the same.

Li, who was standing by, looked at the blueprint and suggested, "We are not familiar with the city either. Why don't we ask your aunt Tang to see if the managers under her can recommend any reliable craftsmen?"

Lin Shuyue nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the Tang Mansion tomorrow to visit Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang, and ask about this matter by the way."

At this time, Qingyuan hurried into the flower hall.

"Master, Madam, Miss, someone is coming from the Jiang residence."

"Jiang Mansion?" Lin An frowned slightly and looked at Lin Shuyue, "Ayue, I'm afraid it's someone from that Jiang Tongzhi."

"Dad, don't worry, call the person in first." Lin Shuyue comforted him and then ordered Qingyuan to bring the person in.

Soon, Qingyuan came in with a neatly dressed lady.

"Meet Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin."

The old lady bowed to Lin An and his wife, and without waiting for Lin An and others to ask her any questions, she stood up and looked up and down at Lin Shuyue who was standing beside her.

Lin An and Li were a little unhappy. Just as they were about to stop her, they heard their daughter scolding in a cold voice: "Are all the servants of the Jiang family so rude? Qinghe, Qingzhi, kick her out!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Qinghe and Qingzhi immediately stepped forward and stared at the old lady with unfriendly eyes.

"Hey, don't, don't, don't... Miss Lin, I am being rude. I am delivering the invitation to you on the orders of my young lady."

Before receiving this assignment, the old lady specifically asked the concierge about the Lin family. The concierge said that she had been in the city for so many years and had never heard of the Lin family.

She thought that the Lin family was just a small family, therefore, she did not take them seriously. However, she never expected that the young lady of the Lin family would be so strong and not afraid of the Jiang family at all, and would turn against them at any time.

Thinking that she had not completed her task, she could only admit her mistake with a wry smile.

"Your lady?"

Lin Shuyue waved her hand to signal Qinghe and Qingzhi to leave. "Who is your lady? Why did you invite me?"

"My surname is Zhao, and my daughter is the second daughter of the Jiang family." Aunt Zhao took out a note from her bosom and presented it with both hands.

"My young lady said that she heard that Miss Lin is very skilled and that she saved many people when the pleasure boat caught fire last night. She admires you very much.

It just so happens that the day after tomorrow is our cousin’s birthday, so I am writing to invite you to come to my house the day after tomorrow to have a chat.”
