Lan Luochen, who is usually calm, couldn't help but gasp. This was too expensive.

Lan Wangshu hesitated for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, and tapped the location on the map with his finger.

"I want to rent it for a year."

"Please wait for good news, my lady. I will contact the master."

Lan Wangshu glanced at Lan Luochen, and the young man sensibly wrote down the inn where they were temporarily staying, and the two of them left directly.

The middleman acted very quickly and it was obvious that he had put a lot of thought into it. This shop belonged to the Si family of Rucheng. It used to be a restaurant, but Dingzhenlou suddenly emerged, so it had to close down. The high rent was not affordable for most people, so the shop just sat there gathering dust.

The lady who came from the Si family was dressed in luxurious clothes. She greeted her in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"I heard that Xiangzhu has taken a fancy to the shop in Yongchuan Lane. The rent can be paid monthly. Is that feasible?"

Lan Wangshu looked at the head of the Si family, who had a gentle and friendly smile, and nodded without saying anything, and took out five taels of gold.

"receipt."

The mistress of the Si family did not expect that she, a county lady who started from the countryside, could be so generous. It seems that the rumors are not true.

She drafted the contract readily, and the deal was settled with the money and the keys handed over.

"It would be better for the county lady not to open a restaurant. She really cannot compete with Dingzhenlou."

"Thank you for your kindness, ma'am. I am just helping a friend. As for the future, it depends on him."

The mistress of the Si family smiled and didn't say much, leaving it at that.

Then Lan Wangshu gave up the space on the top floor as a resting place for the two of them, and demolished and redecorated everything else. Even the outside was covered with airtight cloth, which aroused the curiosity of passers-by.

Before anyone knew it, the news of the renovation of the original Si Family Restaurant had spread throughout Rucheng.

Lan Wangshu did not hesitate to order the people from the He family around. He went straight to the owner of Dingzhenlou in Rucheng and asked him to help introduce a master to decorate the house.

The shopkeeper was not stupid. Even if he didn't know who Lan Wangshu was, he knew there was a Miss Lan and that this account had to be done separately. After looking at the visitor's identity jade card, he smiled brightly.

"Why don't you have a meal in the building? I'll be the host and I'll arrange these things right away."

Lan Wangshu glanced at the shopkeeper and was quite cautious.

"No need, just keep the account. I'll tell Jinyu later."

"Yes, I will listen to the county lady. I will contact the He family to help you renovate it right away."

Lan Wangshu nodded and took Lan Luochen upstairs.

"Just call me Miss Lan from now on. This is my brother. If I'm not around, please take good care of him."

“This is what common people should do.”

The shopkeeper's smile became more vivid, and the little mustache on his lips trembled, looking very funny.

Lan Wangshu confidently handed over all the renovations to the He family. When the time was almost right, she took out all the glass and made an almost one-to-one replica of Zui Fusheng in Guihua County.

In addition, this restaurant has four floors, each with a terrace. Lan Wangshu made some outdoor rattan and glass hollow tables and chairs, and there are swings on the side, dotted with green vines, which you will notice as soon as you walk into the alley.

Passersby looked at the large glass and became even more curious, wondering what kind of place this was.

Lan Wangshu sent an urgent letter, calling Zhang Cuicui and Dashu over, and also brought a few key people, including Xihe.

When they arrived, Lan Wangshu saw an unexpected person.

"Master."

"Huzi, why are you here? Does your mother know?"

Lan Wangshu has been very busy recently, so she threw Hu Zi directly to Zui Fusheng after the New Year. She would occasionally give him some advice when checking the accounts. After all, she was somewhat incompetent as a master.

"Master, don't worry. Miss Li asked me to help in the store. I'll follow you. I'll let you know."

Lan Wangshu nodded, adhering to the principle that since they were already here, he couldn't send them back.

"Let's go back first. We still have some things to do. There's no rush."

Lan Wangshu settled everyone down and asked Dingzhenlou to send over a table, letting everyone eat and drink well before getting down to business.

Lan Wangshu sent Lan Luochen away before starting a meeting with a few other people.

"Huzi, I've never asked you what your full name is."

Hu Zi clasped his hands in embarrassment and shook his head.

"I don't know either. When I asked the queen, she wouldn't tell me and just told me to call her Huzi."

Lan Wangshu blinked and thought of a solution.

"Huzi, why don't you take my surname Li?"

"Isn't the girl's last name Lan?"

Hu Zi's eyes were filled with confusion. This operation was too abstract for him to understand.

"How can I use my real identity when I go out? Besides, I suddenly changed from a village girl to a county lady. Who knows how I will be bullied by others?"

"How could someone bully the county lady?"

Hu Zi's eyes widened. In his opinion, the county lord was a high-ranking official, so who would dare to mess with her?

Lan Wangshu sighed and tapped his head with his knuckles.

"Of course the common people wouldn't dare to do that, but other people might not take me seriously."
