Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

The note was given to Li Yu by a helper in the store.

Li Yu was afraid that it was something important, so he walked outside the store and sat in the carriage to take a look first.

It was written by Mr. Xiang, informing her that Han Zheng would be back soon.

Unable to hold back, Li Yu smiled.

Mr. Xiang didn't say anything else, which means Han Zheng is fine, which is good.

*

After calming down in the car, Li Yu got out and entered the workshop again.

In the store, the cotton dolls sold very quickly. They had prepared about 300 dolls in total, but in just a few moments, more than 30 of them were sold out.

In fact, it is not cheap, because the velvet and embroidery thread used for the doll are expensive, and it is not easy to make, so one doll costs three taels of silver.

But the young ladies in Beijing are not short of money, and three or two taels are nothing to them.

Several young girls were holding the doll of the heroine of "Feng Yue Hua" and couldn't let it go.

"This is the first time I've seen this kind of doll. It's really cute."

"It's still wearing clothes. I just checked and found that its clothes can be changed. If so, I will make a few more clothes for it when I get home."

"Speaking of clothes, I have an idea. Why don't we have a competition to see who can make the most beautiful clothes for this doll."

"Yes! That suits my taste."

Several girls were talking in low voices, Li Yu heard them and smiled.

In addition to cotton dolls, rattles, porcelain plates, fish-shaped jade pendants, and wooden pendants mentioned in the storybook "Feng Yue Hua" were also sold. Jade pendants were the least sold because they were difficult to make. But they sold the fastest because there were too few of them. The rich young men and women were afraid that they would not be able to buy them, so they bought them without hesitation.

In the storybook, the names of the hero and heroine were written on the porcelain plate. When Li Yu made the sample, she also used the names of the hero and heroine, but when she actually started to make it in large quantities, she changed her mind.

She changed the names to something corresponding to the male and female protagonists, the female protagonist is Peach Blossom and the male protagonist is Bamboo Leaf.

In this way, guests can use the porcelain plates openly after buying them.

It's not that writing a name is bad, but if a woman buys it and someone with bad intentions sees it, it will inevitably cause trouble. After changing it, even if someone else sees it, the woman can find an excuse to cover it up.

After all, the porcelain plates are really beautiful, and even people who don’t read the storybooks like them and are willing to buy them.

Toys that are not related to the storybook, today we have jigsaw puzzles and building blocks.

Tangram puzzles are made of wood and come in two types, one with color and one without. The colorless one costs thirty cents a set, while the colored one costs three hundred cents a set.

There are three kinds of building blocks, the cheapest one has ten wooden blocks, and the most expensive one has sixty wooden blocks.

Li Yu personally drew a picture of the building blocks after they were assembled and hung it on the wall. Guests could choose whether to buy it based on their needs.

*

After walking around the store twice, Li Yu bought a set of building blocks and a rattle and left.

The helpers in the store were trained by Mr. Xiang himself, so they shouldn't make any mistakes and she doesn't have to worry.

In the future, this store, like Jinyulou and the milk tea shop, will be managed by people appointed by Mr. Xiang, and she will only be responsible for controlling the general direction, such as when to sell what.

On the way back, Li Yu passed by a snack shop and bought some things.

After coming out, she bought some fruits, pork, fish, shrimp and vegetables.

Mr. Xiang said that Han Zheng would be back around tomorrow night, so she could prepare some braised meat or something in advance tomorrow.

Han Zheng has been away for two months. He has worked hard investigating the case. He will definitely take good care of himself when he comes back.

Han Zheng's side.

After breakfast, everyone left the post station and continued walking towards the capital.

Except for a one-hour stop in a small town at noon to have a meal, they were walking the rest of the time.

Lords Li and Yang were a little overwhelmed and complained that they were tired and wanted to rest, but Minister Pei ignored them.

The closer he got to the capital, the more uneasy Minister Pei became. He always felt that something was going to happen. Under the circumstances, he thought it would be safest to return to the capital as soon as possible.

After hurrying as fast as they could, they were still forty miles away from the capital by the evening of that day. As long as there were no problems on the road, they could reach the capital by noon tomorrow at the latest.

At night, everyone rested in an inn.

Han Zheng, Minister Pei, and Lords Li and Yang stayed in the superior rooms upstairs, while their attendants, officers and soldiers, and Shen Gengfu stayed in the middle and inferior rooms.

There were so many of them that they almost occupied the inn.

Because he was going to arrive in Beijing the next day, Han Zheng tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't fall asleep.

He had been away from home for so long that his second sister-in-law only wrote to report that he was safe, and no one knew what the situation was like at home.

I hope my second sister-in-law and Xiaomei are all well.

After an unknown amount of time, Han Zheng finally felt sleepy. Just as he closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, the sound of weapons striking was heard outside.

He woke up instantly.

*

After putting on his clothes and getting out of bed, Han Zheng walked to the window to look.

There is no moon tonight and it is dim outside, with only two lights on at the entrance of the inn.

At this time, more than a dozen people were fighting on the street.

If one of them hadn't covered his face, he really wouldn't be able to tell which side was his own.

In addition to the sounds of fighting downstairs, footsteps were also heard in the inn.

Han Zheng felt something was wrong and immediately took out the dagger under his pillow for self-defense. Then he walked to the wall and hit it hard with the hilt of the sword.

Minister Pei had already woken up. When he heard the knocking, he also knocked on the wall in response.

Han Zheng felt relieved when he heard the voice.

Immediately, he looked outside.

The footsteps outside were getting closer and more chaotic, and then shouts and sounds of fighting were heard outside the door.

Along with the sound, there was yellow flames and smoke running into the house through the crack in the door.

"Sir, there is an assassin, please come with me quickly." Miao Da rushed to Han Zheng's room and knocked on the door anxiously.

Han Zheng opened the door and looked towards the source of the sound under his protection.

The lobby of the inn was in chaos. The soldiers who were awakened from their sleep were fighting with a dozen masked men in black, and a fire had already started at the stairs of the inn.

It seems that those people wanted to remove the stairs first, so that if they want to go down they can only jump out of the window.

*

"These men in black came here suddenly, sir, please follow me." Miao Da raised his sword and hurried forward.

Before leaving, the boss told him to protect the adults well and he couldn't let anything happen to the adults here.

Minister Pei's attendant also rushed upstairs, and he opened the door before Han Zheng reached it.

The two looked at each other and saw understanding in each other's eyes.

The person behind this incident at this time must have no other intention than King Hui.

Mr. Li and Mr. Yang were also upstairs. As their colleagues, Han Zheng knocked on the door and called out to them when he passed by them.

But no one answered.

The situation was urgent, so Han Zheng simply broke down the door, but there was no one in their room.

"They may have already gone down." Minister Pei said it as a possibility, but his tone was very certain.

Han Zheng immediately understood what he meant and without further delay, he quickly ran downstairs.

The stairs were all made of wood and were probably splashed with wine, so they burned quickly. The situation was urgent, so Han Zheng didn't care about anything else and ran down quickly.

He ran fast, and only a little bit of his hair and clothes were burned, which were put out in a few hits.

The first floor was in chaos at this time.

The soldiers, guards and men in black were fighting in a group, tables and chairs were smashed, and Shen Gengfu hid behind a pillar and trembled.
