So, Zhuo Qiaoniang and maid Caosui changed the rooms again and arranged for the old master Leng Changbei to live in the master bedroom and his younger brother Leng Fu to live in the room next to it.

Leng Yi's current servants, except Caosui, were all hired by the imperial court, and none of them could take care of the old man, so Leng Yi said: "Let's go out to eat at noon. After dinner, we will go to the Renyazi market to see if there is any maid that we like.

Servants or something like that, buy them back to serve you."

Leng Fu suddenly became happy and said with joy: "Does this mean that I can be like a young master from a wealthy family and have my own servant girl?"

Before Leng Yi could speak, Leng Changbei had already scolded Leng Fu with a cold face: "Don't you have hands or feet? Can't you take care of yourself?"

Leng Fu quickly suppressed his smile and said sarcastically: "This is what my brother said, I have no intention of letting maids and servants serve me."

Leng Yi said: "Grandpa, you are old and it is time for you to enjoy your blessings. You can save your worries by letting your servants serve you."

Leng Changbei was originally glaring at Leng Fu, but when he turned to talk to Leng Yi, he changed his smile and said: "Grandpa knows that you are filial, but grandpa has lived for seventy years and has not been served by anyone."

Yes, I'm not used to it. Besides, Grandpa is still strong now, so don't worry, Grandpa can take care of himself. Don't buy any more maids and servants. I think the maids and servants assigned to you by the imperial court are enough for you." He said.

At this point, Leng Changbei hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Also, your money is not easy to come by. Don't spend it frivolously. In the future, there will be many places to use your money! You must know how to save! You are right to listen to grandpa.

!”

Leng Yi smiled, nodded and said, "Okay. Just do what grandpa wants."

Leng Changbei suddenly became happy and continued: "One more thing! Don't go out to restaurants every now and then, it's too expensive! Your wife's cooking is very good, let's eat at home! Save money."

Leng Yi originally wanted to say that his family had a cook appointed by the imperial court, so Zhuo Qiaoniang did not need to cook, but Zhuo Qiaoniang had already said before him: "Thank you for the compliment, my grandson. My grandson's wife will go cook right away. Let's eat at home."

Zhuo Qiaoniang was very good at cooking, and she prepared a table of delicious dishes without much effort. Leng Yi and his younger brother Leng Fu drank several times of wine with their grandfather Leng Changbei.

After having enough wine and food, Leng Changbei shouted that he wanted to see those businesses.

Leng Yi said that he had a hard journey and it was not too late to rest for a few days before going. Leng Changbei couldn't sit still. He was anxious to see how his grandson's business was going, so he insisted on going. Leng Yi had no choice but to let Caosui take the lead.

He took the old man and Leng Fu to a clothing store to buy two sets of high-end robes, and then went to several shops he bought and took over them as the owner. It was not convenient for Leng Yi to come forward himself, so he did not accompany them.

Leng Changbei and Leng Fu followed Caosui to a clothing store.

When the store manager saw Cao Sui, he was very affectionate. Cao Sui asked him to quickly find a pair of ready-made clothes for the old man and Leng Fu. The shop owner quickly agreed and found two sets in person. The fabrics were both high-quality. He gave them to Leng Fu.

Long monument and cold blessing.

Leng Changbei took it and touched it. He let out a cry, glanced at the shopkeeper, and said to Caosui: "Girl, forget it, I'll be fine wearing the original one."

Caosui said with a smile: "Old Master. This is what I ordered. Just change it. Don't worry about anything else."

"Why don't you worry about it, it costs money!" Leng Changbei stroked the smooth and soft robe, "This will cost at least five thousand yuan!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Old man, this is the best fabric, and it sells for 10,000 yuan!"

"Ouch!" Leng Changbei quickly put the robe in his hand on the table. He was afraid that it would fall on the ground and get dirty and cause trouble for him, so he quickly pushed it in again. He saw Leng Fu next to him still holding the robe stupidly.

He gestured on his body and stamped his feet: "You bastard, why don't you put it down quickly! How can you afford to pay for such a precious thing if it gets dirty?"

Leng Fu was startled and quickly put down his robe.

Caosui chuckled and said: "Old Master, Second Master, don't worry, our eldest husband bought this ready-made clothing store. It's his own thing, it doesn't matter even if it gets damaged!"

The shopkeeper of the tailor shop looked at Caosui in surprise and said with a smile: "Miss Caosui, could these two be...?"

"This old man is the boss's grandfather. He is specially here to take over and help the boss take care of the business. This is the second master!"

"Oh, that's it. I've met the old man and the second master!" The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed to him.

Leng Changbei and Leng Fu both looked at Caosui in surprise. Leng Changbei asked hesitantly: "Is this store really ours?"

"Yes." Caosui said, "From now on, you will be the owner of this place. Don't you want to wear these robes? Moreover, you are now the owner of one of the largest shops in Bazhou. You don't want to wear them?"

If you have to be more decent, then you are not worthy of your old status."

"That's that." Leng Changbei said, straightened up, returned the favor to the shopkeeper, then picked up the ready-made clothes, kneaded them and rubbed them, and said: "If that's the case, then let's put it on?

"

Leng Fu said with a smile: "Are you being polite? Brother asked us to change, so let's change. Cao Sui is right. If you don't wear something decent, people won't take us seriously."

Leng Fu used to wear a coarse blouse when he went to the city to visit shops, and he often received looks from other shopkeepers. He knew the pain of it.

Leng Fu changed his clothes and said to the shopkeeper: "Wrap our clothes and I'll take them away."

Caosui said: "Second Master, don't you want these coarse clothes."

Leng Changbei said: "Oh, that's no good. I can still wear these clothes, why don't I want them?"

Leng Fu also said: "Yes, these clothes are still in good condition. They were newly sewn for the Chinese New Year the year before last. I usually don't want to wear them. I changed into them this time when I came to see my eldest brother."

Caosui hurriedly said: "Okay, then just leave it in the store. We've finished taking over the store, and we'll pick it up later."

Leng Changbei said: "It's done!" As if he was afraid of losing the clothes, he handed it to the shopkeeper, looked at the clothes a few more times, and then followed Cao Sui out of the shop. The shopkeeper kept sending them out of the shop before saying goodbye.

.

Both Leng Changbei and Leng Fu had never worn robes before. He had always worn coarse cloth blouses before. How had he ever worn the robes of a man of letters? Moreover, they were made of the best fabrics. The two of them were walking on the street.

, it always felt like people all over the street were looking at them, so they just lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at anyone, as if these clothes were stolen. They felt so awkward that they couldn't even walk. There were no more than two lines.

On the street, the back of my neck was covered in sweat.

At this time, Cao Sui said it was time, and the two of them stopped quickly and looked up. They saw a towering blue-tiled building on the roadside. There was a plaque hanging on the lintel of the door with the three characters "Drunk Flower Shade" written on it.

Looking at the name, it seemed like that kind of place! Leng Changbei muttered to himself, and when he looked inside, he saw many girls in colorful clothes, flirting with some men who also wore long robes.

The turtle man who was greeting the guests at the door saw Caosui and hurriedly came up to greet him. He smiled and said, "Girl, you're here!" As he said that, he looked behind Leng Changbei and Leng Fu.

Caosui has already said before that she is just in charge. The man who bought the shop last time, Leng Yi, has no time to manage this brothel and will entrust someone to take care of it. Could it be that these two were appointed by the owner to take care of it?

Brothel people?

Sure enough, Caosui said: "Go and call your mother quickly. The person sent by our boss to take care of the business is already here! Let her come and greet you!"

Mr. Gui quickly agreed, nodding and bowing to Leng Changbei and the others, then called for the waiter to come over and led them to the reception hall, and then ran upstairs quickly.

The Leng family was poor, and life was very difficult before that. Therefore, Leng Changbei and Leng Fu only passed by the brothel and never entered the brothel. Now, standing in the lobby of the brothel, they saw Yingyingyingyanyan

The pretty girls walked past with giggling and fragrant breezes. Both of them couldn't help but feel at a loss and blushed. They lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at them. Leng Fu secretly glanced at the girls.

Caosui hurriedly said: "Old Master, shall we wait in the flower hall?"

Leng Changbei quickly said yes and ran into the flower hall. Leng Changbei closed the door of the flower hall with trembling hands, took a few deep breaths, and said to Caosui: "This is..., is this a brothel?"

"Yes, sir."

"How could my grandson...how...open this business?"

Caosui pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Sir, our business is very profitable."

"But..., but..." the old man stammered. He wanted to complain, but he felt something was wrong. His grandson is no longer the same as before. He is now an official of the imperial court, and he also has a golden belt given by the emperor.

It's not something you can say casually.

Caosui Bingxue was smart and immediately guessed what the old man was thinking. She smiled and said: "This brothel is a place where literati often recite poems and compose poems. The eldest man is also a literati, so he wants to open such a place and make friends with those people.

.However, the eldest master never comes to this place. If he wants to meet guests, he only eats and drinks in the restaurant. At worst, he can ask the singers here to play the piano and dance to entertain. The eldest master invites the old master and the second master to help.

I miss you. Secondly, as an official of the imperial court, it is not convenient for him to manage such an industry personally, so he invited the old lady to come. The old lady is steady and dignified in his work. If he sees something wrong, he will take care of it. Taking care of the business is the most important thing.

It couldn’t be more suitable.”

After saying this, the old man Leng Changbei suddenly smiled brightly, stroking his white beard and said: "Yes, I saw a lot of scholars coming in and out of here before. After all, I have attended a private school for several years, and I can be considered a half-literati.

.There must be no problem in helping my grandson take care of this brothel."

When Leng Fu heard this, his face broke out in laughter. He said yes repeatedly and said: "I have also attended a private school for a few years. I am also a half-literary person. I also help my brother take care of this place."

Leng Changbei looked at him sideways and said, "You take care of her? Your idea is for the girl here, right?"

"How can I?" Leng Fu said sarcastically, "I really want to help."

"Come on, I'm going to say it first, you kid, don't touch these girls' crooked ideas! The rabbit hasn't eaten the grass beside the nest yet, if you touch the girls here, I will break your legs!"
