Dressed as a middle-aged mistress, I want to lie down every day

Mo Chenxi was walking on the street.

Yingkelai is located in the east of the city. There are four main streets in the capital, namely north, south, east and west. Yingkelai is located on East Street.

It was obvious that pedestrians were walking around. There were shops on both sides of the street, and there was almost no one to welcome customers.

Mo Chenxi saw that the shop opposite Yingkelai was also closed. There was a teahouse two shops away. The upstairs was for customers to drink tea, and the downstairs was for tea sales.

She took Mother Wang in and picked some scented tea at random. The waiter was more attentive than ever before and offered a 20% discount.

Mo Chenxi deliberately said, “Why didn’t you give me a discount last time I came?”

The waiter nodded and bowed, "Our boss said that as soon as you come in, you are a frequent guest. We are very grateful that you can come and support us."

He looked at the lady with a strange look and thought she was here to inquire about the welcoming guests across the street. Recently, the women who came here to buy tea were all brave and curious. They came at noon during the day, and the weather had to be the sunniest.

The waiter lowered his voice and said, "It's not the one across the street... Our boss has good fortune and a strong life, so he can handle it. The madam sees that other families have no business, but we keep having people coming in. If it weren't for this, I would have quit this job. I have to support my family and make money, but I also value my life."

He said this on purpose so that the guests would listen to him more, especially since he had witnessed what happened at the door that day and he had told it countless times.

Mo Chenxi was not interested in what happened that day, but he patiently listened to the waiter's mysterious story.

"We used to stay open until curfew, and our boss thought we'd have no business that night after this incident. But there were some brave enough to book a private room after dark. Hey! They're so brave! I'd rather die than work the night shift. I'll do it for a living, no matter how much money I'm paid. One of the brave guys said he heard crying while on duty and was so scared..."

I was just about to say I peed my pants, but stopped.

"I fainted from fright."

Mo Chenxi pretended to be scared and hurriedly paid out and left the store.

She walked out of the store still slowly and saw that Mother Wang looked nervous.

"What are you afraid of in broad daylight?"

"Madam, I heard that ghosts who died by hanging have the heaviest resentment. They can't come out during the day, but they remember people and will possess whoever is weak. Madam, you'd better go back quickly."

Mo Chenxi knew this statement. Her modern mother said that her grandmother was possessed by her great-grandmother several times, and her great-grandmother died by hanging.

Later, my grandmother's brothers planted peach branches around my great-grandmother's grave to prevent her from coming out.

People who are possessed by ghosts will become increasingly weak, so her grandmother died of illness in her early fifties.

After Mo Chenxi returned home, she kept pacing back and forth in the house. Her obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in and she became interested in the shop. If she could afford it, she would find a way to buy it.

He Wenyan has been gone for almost two months. If Madam Jiang can be successfully settled, he will be back soon.

After he came back, it was not convenient for me to go out to do things, let alone do things without telling him.

Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times there are some mothers-in-law who complain that their daughters-in-law often go back to their parents' home, as if the married woman is being sold to her husband's family.

She was not like an ancient daughter-in-law who had to follow the local customs and be bullied, but she did not want her behavior to become a handle for others to attack her.

She didn't travel into a cool novel and start her career in a big way, killing gods and ghosts.

As my father said, it is easy to buy a shop that welcomes customers, but it is difficult to open it for business.

My father said that someone would buy it as an investment, and then keep it for a few years. When the matter has faded, they would look for a high monk to perform a ritual. It would be better to find a reason, just like the waiter in the tea shop just now who said that his boss had a good fortune and could suppress the situation.

It is very popular now, and people who want to buy it are waiting for the price to go down.

My father said that he didn’t have much money, otherwise he would have bought it. Even if he didn’t sell it as a takeout business, it would be an inheritance for his children and grandchildren in the future.

My father said that we should not do business in the next one or two years.

Mo Chenxi was tempted because he wanted to turn money into money and would not wait for the future.

But sudden death is unlucky and unlucky, and people in ancient times could not solve it. What could she do?

What advantages does she have compared to ancient people?

Mo Chenxi suddenly thought that her advantage compared to the ancient people was that the ancient people believed in all superstitions, while she believed in some of them and also believed in science.

That's the difference.

So what can she do with this difference?

This time she had to think it over carefully before telling her father.

Mo Chenxi locked herself in the house for two days and told Bao that she had a headache and needed to lie down for two days.

She took out pen and ink and started writing and drawing. When someone came in, she quickly lay down on the bed.

I finally finished writing the plan. Since I can't write calligraphy, I can only memorize it.

When she returned to her parents' home, she first said that she went for a walk on East Street. There was a tea shop opposite Yingkelai. She went in to buy some tea and listened to what the waiter said.

Mo Yuanji said, "You've heard about it too? The other day, a few brave men saw a thief walking past the door of the Yingkelai teahouse from upstairs in the teahouse. He fell to the ground and shouted, 'There's a ghost!' They rushed down from the teahouse, grabbed the man, and beat him up. It turns out that the brother of a concubine in the Duke of Song's mansion sent someone to do it. They wanted to make a fuss so that the price of the shop would drop, and then they could take over."

Mo Chenxi hadn't been out for the past two days and didn't know about this. She said, "Last time, when that guy fell and said he saw a ghost, I thought someone would take advantage of this. I thought it was a business, but I didn't expect those nobles to be so impatient to take action."

Mo Yuanji said, "The more noble a person is, the less money they have to spend. Why do these nobles accept gifts from others and act as backers for big businesses? It's because their family expenses are too high."

Mo Chenxi knew all this. The host of Yingkelai was going to give his second wife's daughter to Prince Weixing as a concubine, and he would give her no less money every year.

She asked tentatively, "If we can take over this shop and open a restaurant, do we also need to seek refuge with a noble person?"

Mo Yuanji said, "I agree to open a restaurant and will definitely consider this. You don't need to ask too much."

Mo Chenxi guessed that the noble person his father sought refuge with might be the one who helped him solve the problem of the dim sum shop last time.

She won't go to great lengths to get to the bottom of things, and she won't know things she shouldn't know. However, she still knows that curiosity kills the cat.

Mo Chenxi said, "After this incident where they caught the cheater, no one will use this method again, right?"

"No, anyone who uses this method will probably be beaten to death by some trouble makers. After all, they say they are catching ghosts, and the law doesn't punish everyone."

Mo Chenxi told her plan.

Mo Yuanji was surprised at first when he heard what his daughter said, then he shook his head and said, "No, no, how can you be asked to personally deal with such a thing? No, how can you do such a thing? You should do business properly. Using such means to buy a shop is inappropriate and disrespectful to the wife of the host family who welcomes guests."

Mo Chenxi knew that his father would not agree. He did not have enough money, otherwise he would not have told his father and would buy it to solve the problem.
