"You can choose any tea from the tea houses in Beijing!" Fu Jichang said and turned away.

He Ye: "Hey, how can it be the same? Wait, who is the woman with Miss Ji?"

"The wife of Ruo Xiaolian!"

He Ye: What, Madam Ruo? Madam Ruo from Cuijinlou.

Why did the third wife of the Ruo family run away with Ji Xiaobei?

A while ago, Fu Jichang asked him to find someone to rent out a three-story shop on the back street of the government office. I heard that it was rented by the third wife of the Ruo family.

I wonder if she would team up with Ji Xiaobei and Fu Jichang would secretly rent his shop to them.

He Ye followed closely and followed Fu Jichang into the house.

"Yes, it's my shop, I can rent it to anyone I want," said Fu Jichang.

"You, are good, no wonder the rental price is so low..." He Ye came over with interest and asked, "I heard that Ji Xiaobei gave birth to two children, and she... You are an innocent woman, why do you have to hang yourself on her tree?

Of course, I don’t know whether you are innocent or not, you just want to be a father in one go…”

"Bah! Let's talk business. What should we do with those refugees who came in?" Fu Jichang straightened himself and asked.

"It's cold. How should I know what to do? The city gates are open for two hours every day. The gates will be full. Those who want to come have to come!"

"If this continues, Anzhou will not be able to bear the burden and something bad will happen!"

"Why don't you open the government warehouses and release grain to prevent the refugees from causing trouble everywhere!"

"If the government opens the granaries to release grain, wouldn't that lead all the refugees to Anzhou? That's not feasible!" Fu Jichang frowned, "I always feel that the court urgently transferred me back from Tuzhou, which is a bit strange."

He Ye: "That's because Anzhou can't do without you. The prefect Liang would be afraid of a leaf falling from the tree and hitting his head. It's useless. You have to clean up this mess!"

"No, I found the Murong family in Tuzhou. Did you know that Murong Kun is the deputy envoy of the Salt and Iron Bureau? The transportation of Tuzhou official salt is also done by the Murong family. The problem may be with the salt transporters. As soon as the clue came out, I was called back."

Fu Jichang frowned.

"You mean, the Murong family is doing something behind the scenes?" He Ye asked in surprise.

"I can't be sure for now. I'll go back to the government office first. I remembered something!" Fu Jichang stood up and left the room.

"Wait, I'm going back to the guard post too!"

The two men walked downstairs and came over with the horses in a moment.

A carriage stopped in front of Taoranju and Murong Baoqian got out of the carriage.

Just as Fu Jichang was about to mount his horse, he heard a voice behind him: "Brother Chang, what a coincidence, you are here to eat too?"

Fu Jichang turned his head and saw Murong Baoqian. He shook his head and said, "No, I came here to take care of some official business."

Seeing that Fu Jichang was not wearing his work uniform, Bao Qian smiled and said, "Brother Chang, it's time for lunch. Why don't you eat before leaving? I heard that the roast duck at Taoranju is the best!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Baoxi, I have something else to do. Let's do it next time. I'll treat Miss Baoxi next time!"

Fu Jichang mounted his horse and rode away without waiting for Murong Baoqian to speak.

Bao Qian's face turned red with anger: Really, how can there be such a person?

He Ye mounted the horse reluctantly, looking at the pretty girl with her eyes wide open in anger, he felt amused in his heart: Old Fu is really something, he actually treats a girl like this, why is his temper becoming more and more like Ji Xiaobei, so reckless.

He shook his head and rode away.

Two days later, Ji Xiaobei, Jiaojiao and Mrs. Song met again.

After a while, the elder of the Sui tribe came with five men.

These five people are men from the other five families. They came to Ji Xiaobei to discuss the purchase of the house.

After a round of greetings, everyone sat down.

Madam Song smiled and said, "The elder of the Sui clan has already told everyone about the matter, what do you think?"

A man stood up and said, "My house is on the street, and it has been renovated. 48 taels of silver is a little too little!"

Another man also stood up and said, "My house is also on the street."

The other three men followed suit and said, "We have lived here for generations and have long been accustomed to it. We are really not used to being asked to move away."

"People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. The money I give you is enough for you to build a new house. It will be easier for your descendants to marry. Besides, there are many trees on that vacant land, which are also yours. You can get some money by selling them!"

Mrs. Song said with a smile on her face.

Ji Xiaobei asked around and found out that there were several older boys in Suijia Hutong who had not yet married.

She told Mrs. Song all this information.

The men's faces turned a little ugly.

Jiaojiao said, "Xiaobei, the Sui family has lived in that alley for generations, and they have developed feelings for it. If you ask them to move out, they will hint in their hearts that they can't accept it."

The men nodded and expressed their agreement.

Jiaojiao changed the subject and said, "If it really doesn't work, it's not impossible to build your textile workshop on the land that Madam Song mentioned..."

Madam Song added, "My Lord Song asked me to take care of the elders of the Sui clan, so I am taking care of this matter. Otherwise, I would not bother to take care of it!"

Mrs. Song said, rubbing her temples tiredly.

Ji Xiaobei just wanted to ask them whether they agreed or not. If they didn’t agree, she would find another place outside.

She wanted to open a workshop on the textile street, mainly because she also wanted to do business in this world.

The Textile Street has a history of one hundred years and is well-known throughout the country.

People say they go to Anzhou to buy fabric, but in fact they mean they go to the Textile Street to buy goods.

However, if the Sui family really disagrees, she will move somewhere else.

Ji Xiaobei never hangs himself on a tree.

She said, "Some houses are big, some are small, some face the street, some don't. I'm a businessman, and I'm a businessman. I won't let you suffer a loss. I'll give you another 10 taels of silver per household. Go back and think about it. Tomorrow morning, can you give me a straight answer?"

The men were stunned.

The Sui clan elder raised his eyelids and spoke first: "Miss Ji, just because of your straightforwardness, I agree!"

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

The two households not facing the street also agreed.

The two men on the street looked at each other again.

Ji Xiaobei didn't want to waste time, so he stood up and said, "That's it! If there's no news tomorrow morning, I won't buy it!"

The two people answered almost in unison: "Okay, I agree too!"

Mrs. Song stood up with a smile and said to the maid beside her, "Go to the door and call the dental practitioner over, and do it here!"

The man from the Sui family: This is too fast. Think about it, I won’t suffer any loss.

I pressed my fingerprints on the spot and passed the paperwork.

Ji Xiaobei went out for a while and brought in some silver bills and change, and asked the elders of the Sui clan to distribute them to everyone.

"Miss Ji, I will urge them to find a room as soon as possible when I get back, so as not to delay your business!"

The Sui elder's eyes sparkled.
