(Thanks for coming here, Find a Name, and two book friends for their monthly passes! On April 1st, the wind continues to blow, and I miss the person who passed away!)

After taking some rest, Yan Biyun recovered a little from the severe injuries. Although his movements were slightly inconvenient, he concealed it well and did not let anyone else except Su Jin see it.
When everyone was congratulating, Yan Biyun saluted Su Jin again to express his gratitude. Su Jin quickly returned the salute. The two of them bowed back and forth several times. Fu Bi joked: "You two seem to be worshiping heaven and earth, and you go back and forth endlessly."
Yan Biyun blushed, glanced at Su Jin, and said angrily: "Brother-in-law, you are just talking nonsense. I will go to my sister to complain tomorrow."
Fu Bi quickly raised his hands and surrendered, saying that he would never dare to do it again; Yan Shu unexpectedly laughed along with him. It was a bit inappropriate to make fun of him in front of him, but he was really happy today, and Su Jin would probably be there soon.
They had to send someone to propose marriage. The two of them had been talking to each other for so long. Everything that should have happened had probably happened. No matter how pretentious it was, it would be meaningless.
After the excitement, Yang Cha, the second son-in-law of the Yan family, asked: "According to this, isn't my father-in-law going to fulfill his promise and transfer Pang Ji to the capital? The four people from the northwest, Xia Song and Pang Ji, all returned to the capital.
Only Han and Fan can hold on to the overall situation."
Yan Shu said: "Without Pang Ji and Xia Song, things in the northwest can only develop for the better, and there is no need to worry at all. In this way, Han Fan will be promoted. Now they are in low positions and have no ability."
It’s not good to put constraints on things.”
Fu Bi said: "What my father-in-law said was that he was just taking advantage of this old boy Pang Ji. Do you really want to transfer him back to the capital to be a minister in the Sixth Ministry? This is not a small official position."
Yan Shu smiled but did not answer.
)"
Yang Cha said: "That's not possible. How can Pang Ji agree? It was agreed that he would be chosen. Isn't he going to make trouble?"
Su Jin said: "What's the fuss? I've already brought the divorce letter, how can he refuse to accept it? It would be strange if the emperor didn't beat his ass; besides, there is no official vacancy, and it doesn't mean that we won't make arrangements for him. If he doesn't want to accept it,
, he is still waiting in the northwest to talk about it, we have not broken our trust with him, it is him who does not want to, who can blame him?"
Yang Cha Fu Bi rolled his eyes. Su Jin was indeed not a good person. In a country that values trust and commitment, the only person who could speak such words without shame was Su Jin.
But the strange thing was that both of them found that instead of being angry, Yan Shu looked at Su Jin with a smile and approval. Seeing that Su Jin's words had touched Yan Shu's heart, Fu Bi and Yang Cha could only remain speechless.

Early the next morning, Su Jin went to the Ministry of Personnel to go through the formalities for admission to the History Museum. After the formalities were completed, he was considered a formal official. The emperor specially ordered Zhang Fangping, the editor of the History Museum, not to arrange errands for Su Jin within a month. Yan Shu also personally
I went to visit Zhang Fangping and asked him to take more care of Su Jin. The little Su Jin received special favor from the emperor and the three secretaries. This made Zhang Fangping, a contemporary scholar who was born in Yingtian Academy, find it very strange.
After finding out about Su Jin's background and experience, Zhang Fangping became more interested in this junior student. He dragged Su Jin to take up the post and talked for a long time. Su Jin was eager to get out of the way, so he kept nagging him.
After talking for a long time, Su Jin was so anxious that he almost went crazy; and Su Jin discovered that there was something wrong with Zhang Fangping's eyes. He looked like he was looking at a little lady, and there was a little lust in his muddy old eyes. This discovery made him
Su Jin was inexplicably shocked.

After finally getting rid of Zhang Fangping's entanglement, Su Jin hurried out of the palace and rushed home. Today, she made an appointment to have Xiao Xian'er as a guide to find a shop. The top priority now is to open Su Ji's shop and the bank; in the capital,
The silver bank here must be opened first, and then the state capital that has taken back the purchasing power determined by the imperial court can go to the corresponding place to open a silver bank for mutual exchange.
In the next few days, Su Jin was busy running around, and the chores to open a shop were overwhelming. First of all, it was difficult to find a shop, and there were basically no vacant shops in good areas. Su Jin was not satisfied with the remote streets, and he had to look for shops just to find them.
After three days of searching, there was no solution; Su Jin sighed anxiously.
But just in response to the saying that "there is no way out after mountains and rivers, and there is another village with bright willows and flowers", on the morning of the fourth day, Qian Henian, the shopkeeper of Suji Dyeing House, was at the junction of Bianhe Street and Yudao in the south of Xiangguo Temple, the most prosperous place.
I found two shops here and there, they said they were in good locations and the prices were reasonable.
Su Jin jumped three feet high and hurriedly asked Yan Biyun, who came to see the progress: "Is that location good?"
Yan Biyun frowned and nodded and said: "That is the golden place in Bianliang City. Every inch of land there is very valuable. My family can't afford to occupy a place in that shop. How can there be any vacant shop to rent?"
"
Su Jin asked Qian Henian: "How did you find the shop?"
Qian Henian said: "Brother Yang Xiaosi and I were asking people on the street. Suddenly, a man dressed as a business owner came to us and asked if we were looking for a shop to do business. He said that he had two shops for rent.
We didn't like it; then Brother Yang Xiaosi and I followed him to see the shop, and it turned out to be grand and bright. If we rent a shop like this, our business will definitely be prosperous."
Su Jin asked: "What's the price?"
Qian Henian said: "The monthly rent is fifty guan, and the rent must be paid once a year."
Yan Biyun said in surprise: "So cheap? How is it possible? As far as the slave family knows, the monthly rent for a shop there starts at least eighty guan. Why is it only such a small amount? The slave family feels that something is very strange."
Su Jin patted his thigh and said, "Don't care if it's weird or not, just go and have a look."
The group of people drove for half an hour in a carriage and arrived at the intersection of Yudao and Bianhe Street. After getting off the carriage, Su Jin looked up and exclaimed, it was indeed Haoshikou.
Not far away, on the royal road leading to the palace, luxurious cars and elegant sedans were constantly coming and going. They were all driven by officials who went in and out of the palace and their respective yamen outside the palace.
Along this side of Bianhe Street, there are various shops on both sides, such as Xu Fu Ji, Chow Tai Fook, Ri Sheng Chang, Guang Yuan Hao, and various signboards and curtains are fluttering in the wind; it is the morning, and there is a heavy flow of people.
At that time, the streets were busy with people coming and going, and it was noisy.
Look at the crowds of customers in every shop. There are all kinds of people. Judging from the clothes, there are ladies from rich families, lazy men from poor families, octogenarians at the top, children from the boss, and so on.
There are all kinds of people.
Qian Henian led Su Jin, Yan Biyun and others to a three-story shop facing the Bianhe River. He pointed with his hand and said: "The big boss's house is this one."
Su Jin looked over and saw a sign saying "Closed of Business" was hanging on the door of the house. The plaque on the door had been taken off and thrown aside. There were three big characters "Piaoxianglou" written on it with flying phoenixes. It looked like a brothel.
name.
Su Jin thought for a while, then pushed open the door that was said to be empty and walked in. Everyone followed and filed in. The place where he entered was a mess. The room was full of tables, chairs, boxes and cages, placed haphazardly on the ground. There were also people coming from upstairs at the back.
and moving things out and in the yard.
Looking at those greasy tabletops, Su Jin realized that the Piaoxiang Building of Love was just a restaurant.
A boy came downstairs carrying two large packages and put them on the ground. He was startled when he saw seven or eight people pouring in. He rushed forward and scolded: "Hey, who are you? Why did you come in randomly? I didn't see you."
Is it busy here? Don't come in and cause trouble, just go out and stay."
Su Jin smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Brother, what's going on with your Piaoxiang Building?"
The boy glanced at Su Jin and said, "What's wrong? Didn't you see it? I won't do it anymore."
Su Jin smiled and said: "Why don't you stop doing it? Is the business unsustainable?"
The boy sneered and said: "Unsustainable? What a joke! Our Piaoxiang Restaurant is a famous restaurant in Beijing. Every day, the upstairs and downstairs seats are full. Many people want to make reservations in advance if they want to come for a meal. The business is so good that we can't stop it."
alright."
Su Jinqi said: "Then why don't you do it?"
The boy rolled his eyes and said: "You are really a person. Why do you like to poke people's hearts and ask questions about this and that? I still have to work, but I don't have time to gossip with you."
Ma Han clenched his fist, took a step forward and shouted: "What do you mean by talking nonsense? When my young master asks you something, you answer so rudely and so verbosely that I get upset and skin you."
The boy was startled, shrank back, and was about to run away. Su Jin quickly scolded Ma Han and said: "Shut up, little brother, I can't help being scared by you, just stay there!" He turned around and waved to the boy.
He said: "Brother, don't be afraid, he won't do anything to you, he just looks fierce. Just tell us why, and I will leave right away and will never embarrass you."
The boy was doubtful and muttered: "I have never seen such a wild person. He will beat someone after just a few words. This is in the capital, under the emperor's feet..."
Mahan glared fiercely and stared back at the second half of the boy's words.
Su Jin stretched out his hand and took twenty coins from Xiao Sui'er's hand, stepped forward and stuffed it into the boy's hand and said with a smile: "To be honest, we are from out of town and want to open a restaurant in the capital. No, we come from all over the place."
Let’s see how the market is. Seeing that such a grand restaurant like yours has closed down, I’m afraid the business is not going well, so I wanted to ask why.”
The young man got the reward and saw Su Jin and Yan Yuese explain the reason. He was stunned for a moment. He picked up the money and said: "It turns out that this young official wants to open a restaurant. Let me tell you, our Beijing restaurant
The business is the best. Food is the most important thing for the people. There is no other business like this restaurant business.
Yes; our restaurant did not lose money, but it was closed down as a last resort. The reason here is not complicated. It is just because the landlord suddenly wanted to take back the house before the lease expired. No matter what my shopkeeper
No matter how you ask for permission, it’s useless, we can only close down shop.”
