Transformed into an extremely evil grandmother and fled to escape famine with her children and grand
Chapter 417 Half Street (1)
In the morning, Li Lanzhen refused to get out of bed.
She feels very tired!
Ever since I opened my eyes and came into this world, I have fled from famine with my children and grandchildren.
It was either a natural disaster or a military disaster. If you relaxed a little, every little thing that happened along the way would have cost the lives of the entire family.
Her body and mind were tense.
I'm tired now and want to take a break!
She didn't want to know what happened to Gu Yuli and that commander-in-chief!
If in the end their results are not what they wanted.
Then you just have to use your own way to achieve the results you want.
I fell asleep again while thinking about it...
She woke up slowly when Xuan Shen knocked on the door.
He sat up but didn't answer.
Xuan Shen stood outside the door and asked, "Aunt, I have something to tell you."
"Wait a moment." After saying that, Li Lanzhen hurriedly got up, dressed, washed, and tidied herself up, went downstairs, and went to the lobby on the first floor.
The second brother told her that the Scrophularia was in the backyard.
When they arrived at the backyard, Xuan Shen was standing in the yard talking to Anyi.
When they saw her come out, the two of them hurried over to say hello.
"Aunt, the commander of the Youzhou City Defense Camp died at the hands of the Thirteenth Concubine last night.
The Thirteenth Concubine had her limbs broken by the First Lady, was given a mute drug to drink, and was thrown into a beggars' den.
General Qi from the city defense camp received a tip-off that the governor was a corrupt official who had committed murder.
His son bullied men and women in the capital and did all kinds of evil.
So when daybreak came, General Qi had already sent troops to surround the Governor's Mansion.
Just now, we seized tens of thousands of kilograms of grain and countless gold, silver and jewelry from the Governor's Mansion."
Seeing that Li Lanzhen had been silent, Xuan Shen looked at her and continued.
“The most important thing is that we found a considerable amount of weapons made of fine iron in the warehouse of the Governor’s Mansion.
Therefore, General Qi wrote this news into a memorial and sent it to the imperial palace in the capital at full speed. "
Li Lanzhen nodded. "You've worked hard. Have you had breakfast?"
After saying that, he looked up and saw that the sun was at its zenith, and he smiled.
Xuan Shen and Anyi also laughed.
To avoid embarrassing Li Lanzhen, Xuan Shen said, "Aunt, we are hungry now, let's go have lunch."
The three people entered the lobby on the first floor of the Sifang Restaurant and went up to the private room on the second floor.
After a while, the food was served on the table.
The three of them ate in silence for a while, and then they were full.
Xuanshen took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth.
Looking at Li Lanzhen who was eating the drunken duck leisurely, I asked her, "Aunt, do you want to go back to Taohuayuan?"
Li Lanzhen was silent for a while and then shook her head, "No, I want to take a walk around Youzhou City.
Let’s see if there are any suitable shops to buy a few more.”
Xuan Shen raised the corner of his lips and raised his eyebrows, and he knew it.
Aunt Lan Zhen never bows to difficulties, and always faces them head-on!
This incident did not defeat her, but instead aroused her fighting spirit.
Even though three shops were smashed, she still wanted to buy more shops.
Thinking of the news he received from the capital two days ago, he told Li Lanzhen.
"Aunt, don't think that Youzhou City is far from the capital.
But within three years, the population of Youzhou City will quadruple.
With more people, there is more business coming and going from the north and south.
So buy as many shops as you can, you will only make more money, not lose money. "
Li Lanzhen's eyes suddenly lit up. This was business information!
It seems that Xuan Shen got some news from the palace. Well, Li Lanzhen accepted the favor!
He nodded and smiled, "Thank you for telling me the news. I'll go check it out in the next two days."
Xuan Shen saw that although Li Lanzhen got up late today, the tiredness on her face was obvious.
He stood up and prepared to leave with An Yi.
"Auntie, take a rest and go for a walk.
You can also go to a dental clinic first.
Regarding the three stores being smashed, if there are any further questions, I will let you know in time."
Li Lanzhen didn't say anything, but just waved her hand to indicate that she understood.
After they left, Li Lanzhen sat for a while and drank half a cup of tea before getting up and leisurely going out for a walk.
She walked without calling for a carriage.
Strolling leisurely through the streets and alleys.
It's been a long time since I had such a leisurely stroll.
There are three main streets running east-west and two main streets running north-south in Youzhou City.
Other small alleys and streets are branches of these big streets.
The Sifang Restaurant and his own grocery store are both in the middle of this busy street facing southeast.
The furniture store and embroidery shop are on East-West Lane, the southernmost street.
So Li Lanzhen turned onto Sifang 9th Road and headed towards the east-west North Street.
She had never been to this street before.
I am not very familiar with the other two streets, but I only know a part of them because my three shops are there.
North Street, the main street, is also lined with shops on both sides.
The tallest shops have three floors, some have two floors, but most are one-story.
The plaques above the shops, or the shop banners used by merchants, are all very old.
Li Lizhen felt that it was a long time ago.
She walked into a grocery store to ask about the situation.
There was an old man standing at the cash register in the grocery store, clacking away on an abacus.
When he saw her come in, he didn't say anything and just went about his own business.
Li Lanzhen didn't say anything either, but looked around the entire grocery store.
This grocery store is half the size of their Taohuayuan grocery store.
This is truly a grocery store.
From backpacks, baskets, shoulder poles, kitchen utensils, and farm tools...
There are everything from needles and thread to food and daily necessities.
She saw someone selling brown sugar here, so she took two packages and put them on the counter.
"Shopkeeper, I want to buy two packets of brown sugar."
There is still plenty of brown sugar in Li Lianzhen’s space.
But she wanted to have a chat with the shopkeeper and ask about the business situation in the shops on North Street.
"Boss, I've walked through these streets, and it looks like there are quite a lot of shops on North Street.
But why does the plaque feel a bit old?
Business in the shops is not very good.”
The shopkeeper looked up at Li Lanzhen. She had a kind face and didn't seem like someone looking for trouble with ulterior motives.
He sighed and said, "Oh, back then, the most prosperous street in Youzhou City was our North Street!
A full decade of glory!
At that time, the daily revenue of a shop on this street was more than twice that of the other streets.
It is even harder to find a shop here!
But now..."
The old shopkeeper shook his head in a speechless manner.
"Why is this happening? It's the main street in Youzhou City, so why is the business slowly declining?"
The old shopkeeper looked up at Li Lanzhen, then at the passers-by outside the shop, and whispered, "It's all thanks to that bastard uncle!"
Seeing that he didn't say anything further, Li Lanzhen nodded.
"Oh oh oh, I know."
The old shopkeeper saw that Li Lanzhen was a tactful and understanding person, so he didn't mind talking to her for a few more words.
"That guy has made our North Street business go from bad to worse in just two years!
Now in Youzhou City, the most prosperous street is the Middle Avenue.
Our business on South Street and North Street is not as good as before."
"Old shopkeeper, what kind of shops are there on this North Street? What kind of business do they do?"
"Hey, our North Street has restaurants, snack bars, grocery stores, cloth shops... all kinds of shops.
Now, to the west of us, these shops are doing pretty good business.
Because it is close to the north gate of Youzhou City and there are several small docks just outside, business is quite prosperous.
But you don’t know that the business of these shops east of North Street is getting worse and worse.
More than a dozen shops have closed down, and some shop owners have moved their businesses to the streets ahead.
Some have moved their business to the capital."
When Li Lanzhen heard this, she thought it was good news.
"Old shopkeeper, do you know if they are going to sell the store? Or just rent it out?"
"Well, I know that several of them are already listed for sale in the pawnshop. There are also some for rent, right? You'd better go ask the pawnshop and tell them about the sales situation of the shops on the east side of North Street. They should know."
After saying these words, the old shopkeeper looked at Li Lanzhen again.
"Why, sister, do you want to buy the store here?"
After asking, he shook his head again and said, "Big sister, I advise you not to buy on this street, but go to the streets ahead to buy."
