The 208th chapter was shocked to hear the mourning sound

In the warehouse of Baoyanzhai Rouge Shop, Li Daqi looked at the deed in front of him in disbelief. He slowly picked it up and placed it on the table as if it was hot.

"Yanqing, is this the real land deed?"

"I think it should be true. Your Highness Jia gave it to me with his own hands, so that you won't give me a fake item!" Li Yanqing said with a smile.

Manager Wu next to him picked up the land deed for a while, handed the land deed to Li Daqi and smiled: "The owner, it must be true. There are also notes below, including the transfer of the buildings on the land."

"God!"

Li Daqi patted his forehead and was very excited. Is the rouge shop on Yu Street really his own? He doesn't have to pay a penny.

Although Li Yanqing had already told Li Daqi about this, Li Daqi did not take it seriously. He knew in his heart that the shops on the Imperial Street were all exclusive to the powerful and powerful. It was not their turn to ordinary people, and even if they had money, they could not buy them.

So although he promised his son to save money, he still went to buy a manor and build a workshop, and he didn't expect to get a shop on Yujie at all.

But now, what he always thought was impossible has become reality, giving him a feeling of being in a dream.

"Yanqing, will we have any trouble with the shops on Yujie?" Li Daqi still had no confidence and power as the basis. He always felt that the shop was not very reliable.

"My father hung the store sign above the gate, and the emperor wrote the three words Baoyanzhai written by the emperor. I think few people dare to cause trouble."

Li Daqi thought of the name of the store written by the emperor and breathed a little relieved, "Okay! I'll go to the government to handle the procedures for picking up the store in the afternoon. In addition, what should I do with our store in Xinqiao?"

"Of course we have to open this place, so it's normal to open two shops."

At this time, the shopkeeper Wu next to him smiled and said, "I talked to the owner about the price of rouge yesterday. I suggested that Baoyanzhai can sell it at a high price, and then we will make another Li Ji Rouge, which is more moderate. What does the owner think about it?"

“This plan is very good.”

Li Yanqing admired Wu's brand awareness very much. He smiled and said, "But one thing you should remember is to try not to let people know that Li Ji Yanzhi was made by Bao Yanzhai, otherwise it will affect Bao Yanzhai's reputation."

"Don't worry, little boss, I know that I won't make such a low-level mistake."

"How about Yuzhi?" Li Yanqing suddenly remembered the matter of Yuzhi and asked hurriedly.

"Don't mention it!"

Li Daqi was very upset, "Yesterday, the Zheng family bought another 500 yuan. This morning, I received more than 20 large orders, all of which cost more than 10 yuan, and the inventory was only ten yuan. It will take two days to make it. I don't know what to do."

As soon as he finished speaking, a clerk at the door shouted: "Shopkeeper, someone wants to buy jade fat!"

"I'll come now!"

Manager Wu hurried out. At this time, Li Yanqing asked, "How much money does my father have now?"

"We have been able to make a net profit of 2,000 guan every month in these months. In just over three months, the profit has exceeded 6,000 guan. We worked hard for five years in the grain business, but we only made more than 10,000 guan. It is really impossible to compare. I now have 8,000 guan in and out. Next, the Tang family will invest 1,000 guan to open a Damingfu branch. It will probably cost 2,000 guan to open a new store in Yujie. The remaining 5,000 guan should be enough for turnover."

"In the future, my father tried to use silver to do business, and tried to exchange money for gold."

"Why?"

"Now the court is in financial difficulties. I heard that it will be issued as five cents again. In the future, copper coins will only depreciate more and more, and silver and gold will remain stable."

Li Daqi nodded silently. In fact, he also felt that not only prices rose, but also the coins on the market were too chaotic. He had to consider asking someone to identify them. His son was right, but silver and gold were the most stable.

At this time, Manager Wu shouted outside the door: "Little Master, Brother Gui'er is here."

Wang Gui actually came. Li Yanqing hurriedly walked out and saw Wang Gui standing alone outside the gate, looking very sad. Li Yanqing secretly felt something was wrong and hurriedly walked out, "What's wrong?"

Wang Gui's eyes suddenly turned red and he sobbed and said, "Master, Master, are here!"

The news was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky. Li Yanqing was stunned. Suddenly, his eyes turned red and he quickly turned his head away, and tears couldn't help but surge out.

At this time, Li Daqi hurried out and saw that his son was actually crying. He was shocked and asked quickly: "What happened?"

Wang Gui was in a better mood and held back his grief and said, "Uncle Shi, our master is gone."

"Ah! Which master is it?" Li Daqi asked anxiously.

"Master Zhou!"

It was said that it was not Yao Ding, but Li Daqi was a little better. He was not familiar with Zhou Tong and had never even met him. However, he still comforted his son and said, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal. Don't be too sad. Go and go to the funeral for your master!"

Li Yanqing wiped away his tears and asked Wang Gui in a choked voice, "Where are these?"

"They are going to ask for leave, I'll inform you, and we'll leave right away."

"I'll go too!"

Li Yanqing didn't even have time to go to the Imperial Academy to ask for leave. He ran back home and took his father's horse, turned over and ran towards the direction of martial arts with Wang Gui.

A quarter of an hour later, the five left Bianjing City and rushed towards Zhongmu County.

Zhou Tong was unable to survive this level in the end. After he suffered a hard work for half a year, his old injury broke out and eventually he died of illness at home in Zhongmu County.

A spiritual shed was set up in front of the gate of Zhou Mansion in Zhongmu County. Zhou Tong's family came from all directions, wearing mourning clothes and mourning clothes to welcome Zhou Tong's former colleagues and friends to come to mourn.

Li Yanqing and the other five came to the spirit shed, and their eldest son Zhou Zhi came out. Everyone could not hide their sorrows and cried bitterly. People around them comforted each other. Only then did everyone wipe away their tears and followed Zhou Zhi into the spirit shed for worship.

They were Zhou Tong's apprentices. According to customs, they also wore filial piety. Seven days later, Zhou Tong's body was cremated and brought back to his hometown for burial. There was no way. The weather was too hot and the body could not be brought back to Shaanxi. The family was unwilling to be buried on the spot, so they could only bring bones back to their hometown.

Li Yanqing and others arrived in Zhongmu on the fourth day. At this time, Zhou Tong's relatives and friends also rushed to Zhongmu one after another, and even the imperial guards sent official representatives.

Li Yanqing, Yue Fei, Wang Gui and others were sitting in the mourning shed. Everyone had been keeping their souls for two days. Tonight is the last night. After Zhou Tong's body was cremated tomorrow, their families will return to their hometown in Shaanxi for burial, and Li Yanqing and others will also return to Bianjing.

There were people coming in and out of the spirit shed, mostly Zhou Tong’s old friends for decades. Each of them lit an incense stick and then leaned down to bow. At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly saw a man wearing a Fan Yang hat. He bent over and bowed three times in front of the spirit, and then hurriedly turned around and left with his hat.

Li Yanqing suddenly stood up, Yue Fei asked in confusion: "Old Li, where are you going?"

"I'll go out and come back soon!"

Li Yanqing came out of the monastery from behind. He searched around and finally saw the man wearing a Fan Yang hat. Seeing him walking towards an alley across the street, Li Yanqing immediately chased after him.

After chasing hundreds of steps, Li Yanqing finally caught up with the man. He shouted from behind: "Stop!"

The man stopped, but did not turn around, and asked lightly: "What are you chasing me?"

"We should know each other!"

"Of course I've seen it!"

The man turned around, took off Fan Yang's hat, revealing a thin face, which was exactly Luan Tingyu he met in Yanshou Villa.

"You are the second senior brother Luan Tingyu, right?"

Luan Tingyu nodded, his eyes filled with endless sorrow. He sighed softly, "When the master is alive, I am not allowed to see him. I am no longer an apprentice in his heart, but he is always a master in my heart."

"Why?" Li Yanqing asked.

"Do you know what I do?"

"I know, you are Cai Jing's person now."

Luan Tingyu shook her head, "I'm just half of it. I'm doing things for Cai Jing, but he just hired me. I've done things for many people, including Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, and even the son of today. Do you understand?"

Li Yanqing understood that Luan Tingyu was actually a professional killer. He pondered for a moment and said, "But even so, the master would not deny you as his apprentice."

"But I did something wrong."

Luan Tingyu smiled bitterly, and he shook his head, and didn't want to continue talking anymore. He looked at Li Yanqing and smiled: "Actually, I was deliberately luring you out, I know you will chase you."

"You have something to ask me for?" Li Yanqing was stunned.

"I do have something to ask for your help."
