On the street, Qingyue and Yun'er went out in disguise again, wandering around the street looking for open shops.

They visited several stores, but they all failed because the rent was too high.

"Sister Qingyue, this store is good and adjacent to the street. The rent is very expensive. We are only running a small business. How can we afford it? I think it is difficult to find a suitable store, so we should continue to do it at home.

"Okay." Yun'er was a little discouraged.

"Don't be discouraged. Qiantang is so big. There are always shops suitable for us. Take your time and look for it. Don't be in a hurry." Qingyue comforted.

"But I'm so tired. How long will it take to find out?" Yun'er stopped and knocked on her knees.

"Okay, let's sit down and have a cup of tea and take a rest." After saying that, they sat down at the tea stall and ordered two cups of tea.

While drinking, Yun'er suddenly pushed Qing Yue and pointed at someone.

"Sister Qingyue, look, isn't this Qi Zhuangshi who saved us that day?"

"It looks like it's him, let's go quickly." After saying this, Qingyue picked up Yun'er and ran over after confirmation. In a hurry, Yun'er paid for the tea.

"Qi Zhuangshi, wait a minute~~~" they shouted as they chased after him. When they reached the alley, no one was seen.

"Where's the man? I obviously saw him walking this way, but why is he missing?" Yun'er said.

"Oh, it's all your fault, Slowly. Look, everyone is gone." Qingyue pouted.

"How do I know? He walks really fast." Yun'er said while rubbing her legs.

"Since I know kung fu, of course I can walk fast."

"It doesn't matter, I know there is a place where I can definitely find him." Yun'er looked at Qingyue proudly.

"Where?" Qingyue asked quickly.

"Shuntian Escort Agency, didn't he say that he is from Shuntian Escort Agency? Then you can definitely find him there. Seeing that you are so excited, you have even forgotten this. Could it be that you..." Yun'er rolled her eyes and looked at the ghost.

She looked at Qingyue strangely. At this time, Qingyue was attracted by another place.

Yun'er nudged her: "Hey, are you listening to what I'm saying? You're so absorbed in thinking."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qingyue was half annoyed and half ashamed.

"Yun'er, look, there is an embroidery shop here."

"Hu Ji Embroidery Village" Yun'er read softly.

"The door is open, let's go in and take a look." She tried to pull Yun'er in.

"Oh~~~, you don't want to go to the escort agency?" Yun'er held her back.

"Oh, let's go." Qingyue pulled her in hard.

"Is the store here?" They entered the hall and saw no one.

"Wow! Sister Qingyue, come and see, the embroidery work is so delicate. There are no stitches at all. It's so beautiful." Yun'er flipped through the embroideries on the shelf. They were all embroidered by Mei Niang back then and are still there.

There.

"Oh, Yun'er, why are you rummaging through other people's things? It's not good for others to see you." Qingyue stepped forward to stop her.

"What's here? The embroidery is placed here for people to see. Look, it's really beautiful." Yun'er picked up a pillow towel and handed it to Qingyue. Qingyue also unfolded it curiously.

Spread it on your hands and look at it.

"What a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water..." Before she could finish her words, another voice came.

"Who is outside?" Shilin walked out of the inner room. Qingyue quickly put the pillow cover away and stepped forward to ask.

"Hello, are you the store owner here?"

"What's the matter with you two?" Shilin looked at them.

"Hey~~, aren't you Mr. Xu? I recognize you." Yun'er suddenly exclaimed.

"Haha, that's right." Shi Lin asked.

"Yun'er, don't be rude." Qingyue whispered.

"Sister Qingyue, isn't your father here..." Yun'er was interrupted by Qingyue before she could finish her sentence.

"Caomin has seen Mr. Xu." Qingyue bowed and bowed.

"No courtesy." Shilin signaled.

"The common people passed by this embroidery village today and saw that the gate was not closed, so they came in out of curiosity to have a look. I was intrusive. I hope you will forgive me."

"It doesn't matter, is the young master also interested in embroidery?" Shi Lin asked.

"Sir, Cao Min's sister loves embroidery and wants to open a small embroidery shop, so today Cao Min is looking for a suitable shop for her." Qing Yue answered cautiously.

"Oh, that's it. May I ask how your sister's skills are?" Shilin suddenly asked in surprise.

"I dare say, the craftsmanship is comparable to that of the shops here." Yun'er interjected.

"Yun'er~" Qingyue shouted to stop her.

"Is she telling the truth?" Shilin asked.

"No, no, no, my sister-in-law's craftsmanship is not comparable to that of the shops here. I hope you will forgive me." Qingyue replied sheepishly.

"May I ask your lord, where is the owner of this shop? Why is it that you are the only one here?"

"This store belongs to a friend of mine, but now she is no longer here." Shilin's face turned serious.

"Where have you gone?" Yun'er interjected. Seeing Shilin's silence, Qingyue hurriedly stopped her. For a moment, the atmosphere fell into embarrassment.

"Just now, the young master said that he wanted to find a shop for your sister, have you found it?" Shi Lin broke the deadlock.

"Sir, there is no suitable one yet." Qingyue replied.

"If you don't mind it, I will rent this embroidery shop to you. It would be a pity to leave it empty anyway. What do you think?"

"Really? This is great. I liked it here the first time I saw it, but the rent...?" Qingyue asked shyly.

"It's nominally rent, but the rent is waived. As long as your sister can make good use of her abilities and take good care of her."

"How can this be done? Your Excellency is so kind to you that you are willing to rent such a good place to the common people. The common people are not very grateful. If you don't collect the rent anymore, then the common people will feel really guilty and dare not rent it." Qingyue was surprised and happy in her heart.

Fearful again.

"This house has been vacant for many years and has not been rented out. The meaning of this is not that silver taels can replace it. If you feel uneasy, you can write a rent receipt as a proof. If you insist on paying the rent, please ask the young master to go to another house.

." Shilin replied firmly.

"This..., well, since the Lord is so generous, the common people will be more respectful than obey, so I will write a lease note to the Lord." Qingyue did not dare to do it again, and she was very happy. After a while, she handed over the lease note to the Lord.

Shilin.

"Lu Qingyue?" Shilin looked at it and asked.

"It's my roommate's maiden name. My name is Qingyu, and I rented it for her."

‘Your Majesty is so generous, so naturally I have to treat you with sincerity, and of course I have to rent under my real name.’ Qingyue thought to herself.

"Well, let's take a look. I'm going back home first. Don't talk about this matter to outsiders. If you have any questions, come to me. Remember to lock the door when you leave." As he said this, he put the lease receipt in his sleeve and added

He put the keys on the table, turned around and left.

"Thank you, sir." The two of them bowed.

"Wow, this is really great. Am I dreaming?" Qingyue couldn't believe that she actually rented a shop that didn't require monthly rent, and it was a private house.

"Sister Qingyue, come and see." Yun'er called.

"This house is great. I can bring my mother to live with me. It's very close to my father's house, so I don't have to worry about my mother being alone at home." Qingyue walked into the inner room and was pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, there are three rooms and a courtyard. I have seen them all."

"Sister Qingyue, this looks like a girl's boudoir. What is the relationship between Mr. Xu and the original store owner?"

"Didn't he just say that he is a friend?" Qingyue answered while looking at the furnishings in the room.

"Friend? I see that he has a lot of affection for this store. What kind of friend would that be?"

"You don't care what kind of friends they are, anyway, this store belongs to us now. From now on, we have to run this store well and make the business sound and impressive. We just don't want to live up to Mr. Xu's kindness."

Qingyue said happily.

"That's right. Let's go back and tell the news to aunt. She will be very happy to know."

"Yes! I want to tell dad. He will be very happy to know. You go back first. I will go back in a while." With that, the two left the embroidery village and went their separate ways.

After Qingyue met Father Lu, she told him everything, but of course she did not tell him about the agreement with Shilin. Father Lu was also happy after hearing this.

"Dad, you don't have to work so hard in the future. You might as well quit this job and let our family be reunited."

"What are you doing? Dad hasn't been so useless that he wants you to support him. Besides, dad has food, housing and monthly salary here. Not to mention how good it is. This job is hard-won. Dad can't be sorry.

"

"Dad, that's not what my daughter meant. My daughter doesn't want you to work so hard."

"I know you are filial, but the store hasn't opened yet. I don't know what will happen in the future, so it's better to be safe. It's getting late. Go back quickly. If it's late, your mother will be anxious." Father Lu urged.

"Okay, Dad, I'll go back first."
