"I heard it, of course I heard it." Big Brother Bai also coughed twice to cover up. "I was just thinking, why do you want a store all of a sudden?"

"It's not for me, it's for others."

Bai Zhengqing stroked his chin and thought about it. "Someone asks you to borrow a shop from us to do business? If you don't worry, I will ask the Tangzi in Wuzhou City to pay attention to you when I go back. If there are any good ones, you can help me sell them."

"No, I want to give it to someone else, and it's urgent." Bai Ye immediately vetoed it. "It's very urgent, I want it right away. Send me a letter from Feige now, and give me the whole shop on Zhengsan Street. I know that we have a lot of property in Wuzhou City, so give me a shop."

"You gave it to someone else?" Bai Zhengqing was stunned. He first reached out to support his chin, then looked out of the window. He didn't know what he was looking at. After sitting back after a while, his eyes were still a little dull. "Second brother, what have you caught or owed to others, tell me, elder brother will help you solve it."

Bai Ye didn't understand the meaning of Bai Zhengqing's words for a while, and couldn't help laughing when he realized it. "Well, I owe him, so pay him more now, and when he pays more, he will owe me."

Bai Zhengqing didn't understand what this meant, but seeing Bai Ye's look of "give me the speed or I won't leave but I won't give you a good face", she didn't ask, and opened the door directly to call the guard to take the carrier pigeon A post-revision book.

"Okay, I've greeted the steward over there. You can just go and pick a room by yourself. If you have any questions, just talk to the hall master that day, and they will arrange it for you."

"En." Bai Ye nodded, turned around and walked towards the door, but was grabbed by Bai Zhengqing. "Second brother, are you leaving now?"

"Don't disturb big brother's rest."

"No, no, why would you bother me?...Don't you stay and chat more with Big Brother? For example, tell Big Brother about the person who asked you to buy a shop?" Big Brother Bai is still perceptive and knows Bai Ye well.

With Bai Ye's temperament, he was never expected to be threatened by others. If he really made a fuss about him, maybe Bai Ye would directly kill him first.Dead people never come to you for favors, clean and tidy.

So this time Bai Ye said that he owed someone to come to him to ask for a shop, and he was so happy that he was afraid that people would dislike him and hope to continue to ask for more. What is this called?

Put the long line and catch the big fish!

Which big fish does Bai Ye want to catch?

Who is it that makes the second brother care?

Bai Ye half turned his head and stared at Bai Zhengqing coldly. "Brother, are you curious?"

Bai Zhengqing hurriedly shook her head in a serious manner. "How could it be? Second brother, how can I be worried about your life? I just want to ask about the recent situation... By the way, the store owner, have you ever thought about doing business? I still know a little about business, Tell me, and I'll help you think about it with your friend."

When Bai Ye heard it, it made sense, so he sat back down again. "He always wanted to open a bookstore, and he could also sell things like brushes and inkstones by the way."

Brother Bai's feet slipped and he almost fell to the ground.The second brother came here so seriously and asked for a shop, but what are they selling such low-end things?Literati are generally poor, and those who do these businesses generally have little money.And if Xuantianmen really has a store on Zhengsan Street, then Zhengsan Street must be a place where Wuzhou City can make money. After all, Xuantianmen does not do business that loses money.

deficit!This must be a loss-making business!

But if the second brother wants it, will the eldest brother nod?

"...Then, do you have a channel to buy goods? How long have you been preparing for it?" The eldest brother is still very pragmatic, knowing that losses are inevitable, but at least the losses can be minimized.

Bai Ye shook his hand. "No, I just told him just now. I want to handle it for him, so please pay more attention to the purchase of goods. I will take him to look at the store in a few days. If I can arrange it, then I will Don't worry too."

... At this time, you know that you are troublesome brother?

But to let the second brother trouble him, Big Brother Bai still has a sense of honor, even his spine is straight. "Okay, no problem, big brother is here to worry about you! I will tell them to pay attention to you, and the location and size of the store will also care about it for you, don't worry!"

Bai Ye nodded in satisfaction, and after thinking about it, he felt that there was really nothing left for his elder brother to worry about, so he wanted to "say goodbye" again.

Brother Bai couldn't stop him, so he could only follow behind and send off his second brother respectfully.

Almost at the door, Brother Bai suddenly had an idea. "By the way, second brother... that person, wouldn't it be the Young Master Xiao today?"

The more you think about it, the more likely it is.

Ordinary people would not think about opening things that have almost nothing to do with them, just like selling early ones would not suddenly change their careers to jewelry business, let alone a bookstore that is so unpopular that no one would want to open it.

Bai Ye doesn't know many literati, it can even be said that there are only a few, Bai Ye's temperament and habits are put there, how can he seem to be a character who is in harmony with a scholar?As soon as Brother Bai recalled, the one he saw at Master He's birthday banquet today was the most suspicious.

At that time, I was muttering, when did Bai Ye take care of a scholar like this, now I understand, it turns out that Bai Ye can not only take care of him so caringly, but also help him make plans for the future.

Bai Ye paused, turned around and shot like lightning, swish, swish, brother Bai froze.

"Brother, you should go to sleep."

Bai Ye ignored his elder brother's shocked and unbelievable eyes, carried him to bed, and did not forget to cover him with a quilt.

"Brother, excuse me."

The next day, Xiao Tang pulled Li Yunfei and knocked on Xiao Ran's door again.

"Brother Xiao, I have agreed with Brother Yunfei that we will stay in this city for two days. Brother Yunfei said, you have been busy with your father-in-law's birthday banquet these days, and you haven't had a good rest. Stay for two more days to adjust." Tang Mubai said happily as soon as he entered the door.

"Is that so..." Xiao Ran raised his head and looked at Li Yunfei who was smiling wryly. It seemed that he had made a fuss with Xiao Tang all night and couldn't help it. "Alright, if you stay for two more days, you might as well go to the north of the city to pay homage to my wife's ancestors."

After saying a few more words, he was about to go downstairs for breakfast when the door was knocked lightly. "Young Master Xiao, are you awake?"

As soon as Xiao Tang heard the voice, he ran happily to open the door. "Happy, you came so early...Brother Bai!"

It turned out that not only was there a friendly person standing outside the door, but Bai Ye was leaning against the wall leisurely, and nodded when he saw Xiao Tang. "Morning, you're really in good spirits... I heard from the shopkeeper that you haven't had breakfast yet, why don't you go down and have some?"

"Okay! Brother Yunfei, Brother Xiao, let's go?" Xiao Tang was so happy that he wanted to hook Bai Ye's wrist. Bai Ye stepped back casually, as if he just happened to give way, and then walked into the room to stand To Xiao Ran's side.

"Go down together."

This was too obvious, let alone Xiao Tang's complexion, Li Yunfei looked a little embarrassed, and Xiao Ran didn't know what to say for a while.

Bai Ye's idea is very simple.He thought about it all night, and came to the conclusion: I like Xiao Ran, I was sorry for him in the past, but now I will treat him well, and he will be mine from now on.

Bai Ye is a very honest person to himself, if he decides it, he decides it. He thinks that if he wants to treat Xiao Ran well, he can't wait to find a rope to tie Xiao Ran to his waistband.

It's pleasing to say that Bai Ye finally agreed to stay by his side, the clever man who was the first to react, ran forward and pulled Tang Mubai. "Young Master Tang, I heard that dumplings were made in the kitchen this morning. They are your favorite three delicacies stuffing. Do you want to try some?"

Huanxi kidnapped Tang Mubai and left first, Li Yun flew to Xiao Ran's side to take a look, saw that Xiao Ran was not avoiding Bai Ye except for a little embarrassment, after thinking about it, he also went downstairs after Xiao Tang Huxie.

Waiting for them to leave, Bai Ye took a few steps closer to Xiao Ran. "Have you told them that you didn't go with them?"

Xiao Ran was a little nervous and took two steps back, and stopped after about half an arm's distance. "They also won't leave for the time being. Xiao Tang wants to stay here for a few more days. Let's talk when we've had enough fun."

Bai Ye pretended not to notice Xiao Ran's retreat, and the big thorn came closer again. "What about you? Are you going to stay with them and then separate, or go back to Wuzhou City directly with me?"

Xiao Ran lowered his eyes slightly upon hearing the words. "Bai Ye, I always feel a bit rushed about opening a bookstore. The cost of the store, the channel and principal of purchasing goods, and even my residence are all things that cannot be rushed."

"I've said it all. You don't need to think about money. If you really want to worry, just think about it. Anyway, it's all borrowed from me. One tael is a loan, and 1000 taels is also a loan. It makes no difference." Bai Ye grinned. There is a feeling that what is mine is not what you are.

In fact, Bai Ye really thought so in his heart, you, Xiao Ran, are all mine, what's yours isn't mine?Similarly, I, Bai Ye, are all yours, Xiao Ran's, so naturally mine are yours too.

But my wife He Ruhui is not yours, and neither is anyone else.You Xiao Ran's person, only I, Bai Ye, can touch.

It's easy to understand, right?

Xiao Ran couldn't understand for a moment, so he blinked. "Why is there no difference? Even if you ask for the money you borrowed, it is still the money you have to pay back."

Bai Ye didn't explain anymore, and directly pulled Xiao Ran away. "I let the servants in the door handle this matter. You should go back and have a look with me first. If you really don't like it, talk about it. Okay, take this matter slowly, go to dinner first, what time is it, don't you Are you hungry?"

When they got downstairs, Tang Mubai, who had already been coaxed, didn't think there was any problem with the two of them going downstairs late, and ate his dumplings contentedly.Li Yunfei was more thoughtful, first looked at Xiao Ran, and felt relieved when he saw that he was fine, and served him a bowl of rice porridge.

He could see Bai Ye clearly at this glance, he was not happy that Li Yunfei cared about Xiao Ran everywhere, but now this worried look made Bai Ye feel sour, he reached out to pick up the porridge that Li Yunfei had just placed in front of Xiao Ran, and then He refilled the bowl for Xiao Ran by himself.

Except for Tang Mubai, everyone froze for a while.Bai Ye didn't realize it, took a sip from the bowl. "What are your plans today?"

"...Cough, uh, Xiao Tang and I will go to the west of the city for a walk. There is a fortune teller there who is very accurate in divination, but only three divinations a day. When Xiao Tang and I went there yesterday, they closed the stalls. We are going to Let’s go and have a look again. Brother Xiao’s, I just heard what he said, saying that I’m going to pay homage to his wife’s ancestors.”

Bai Ye nodded, taking another sip of porridge and putting down the bowl as if it was a matter of course that I belonged to Xiao Ran's family. "Xiao Ran is going back to Wuzhou City with me in two days, how about you?"

Xiao Ran was shocked, he thought this matter was still in the discussion stage, but who knew that this person would speak to Yunfei and Xiao Tang as if he had already made a decision?What's more, it still looks like "I'm in charge of everything"!

He also put down his chopsticks, and looked at Bai Ye with some dissatisfaction. "Isn't this matter still under discussion? How could it be decided so quickly?"

Bai Ye raised an eyebrow. "Do you think that the shop on Zhengsan Street can have such a good thing with such a low price every day? Go and have a look first. If you like to sell it, other things can be solved. Otherwise, your bookstore is going to start with a night market stall?"

Xiao Ran was still a little dissatisfied, but felt that what Bai Ye said made sense, he opened and closed his lips a few times, and finally continued to drink his porridge with his head bowed in confusion, frowning.

Seeing Xiao Ran's small appearance, Bai Ye felt happy from the bottom of his heart, wishing he could pull him into his arms and have a sweet time.As soon as he raised his head, and met Li Yunfei's inquiring gaze, Bai Ye's expression immediately turned cold. "how?"

"No, it's nothing," said Li Yunfei, a frail scholar, even though he was usually calm, he didn't dare to look at Bai Ye at this moment, so he hurriedly lowered his head. "It's just that I was a little surprised when I heard about it suddenly. Brother Xiao won't be with us anymore?"

"It should be like this." Bai Ye made arrangements for Xiao Ran on his own: "If you want to pay homage to your ancestors, then you can leave this afternoon."

"Is that so... Hey, if that's the case, brother Xiao should leave early tomorrow morning? At least have dinner together as a memory?"

Bai Ye scratched his chin, if he disagreed with this, Xiao Ran would definitely be upset, right?Then nod. "Okay, I'll be the host tonight, please have a good meal, both of you."

Unexpectedly, Tang Mubai, who had been concentrating on eating the dumplings, suddenly spoke. "I have never been to Wuzhou City, why don't we go and have a look together? If Brother Xiao and Brother Bai are in a hurry, you can go this afternoon."

The corners of Bai Ye's eyes twitched, he looked back at Xiao Ran, rolled his eyes, and smiled. "If Xiaotang wants to go to Wuzhou City to have a look, it's fine, but you and I are rushing back, Brother Li and you can just take the carriage over slowly. By coincidence, when you arrive, we will be able to take the store Things are done, just to accompany you."

And so it was settled.
