Chapter 269 Pei Baihu enters the palace to see the driver
Wu Xinan has always been accustomed to being rich and generous. When he heard that the store had a year-long lease with the owner, he couldn't help but think about it. He thought about it and said to the store.
"That is, we have to change the appointment, but we have to meet the owner. Why don't you ask you to have an appointment with the owner tomorrow? How about we meet?"
The shop saw that the shop had hoped to take the shop, and he nodded repeatedly when he heard this.
"This is the reason, so we should naturally see it!"
So the two sides agreed that tomorrow would be the same time, so they invited the owner to come here to speak, and after the agreement was completed, they went home.
Wu Xinan went back and talked about the matter of buying a shop, but Pei He smiled and said,
"I am now relying on my salary to make a living, and I can't compare to An'an's wealth. Naturally, everything is up to An'an. Whatever you say is what you say!"
Wu Xinan responded,
"One of my things was originally yours. Now that we have become close, we naturally don't distinguish you and me. The money in this family belongs to the two of us. There are big expenses, so we will discuss it with you!"
Pei He really didn't understand the merchants. His coldness made him study medical books and recite scriptures. He asked him to deal with others. One or two taels of bargaining is a difficult task, so he responded,
"Now I know, An An just does it!"
Wu Xinan nodded, Pei He asked her about the time she agreed with someone tomorrow, but she remembered something.
"Are you free tomorrow afternoon?"
Wu Xinan thought for a while and nodded,
"If you have seen the owner go well, you can leave it to Wang Yong and Qian Feng for the errands. There should be nothing wrong in the afternoon!"
Pei He said,
"We have been married for more than a month. You have met my master in front of me, but I have never had time to go to the palace to offer tea to him. Tomorrow I will go to Xiyuan to meet His Majesty with the Grand Governor. I will have time in the afternoon. You can go to see Master with me!"
Wu Xinan was interested when he heard this.
"Are you going to go to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow?"
Pei He nodded. Compared to Wu Xinan's excitement, he was always calm on his face. Wu Xinan said happily,
"If you can go to the palace to meet the emperor, you must be the commander-in-chief!"
Pei He nodded,
"There have been all the errands recently. The Grand Governor asked me to go to the palace to report my duties to His Majesty himself..."
They are the guards of the emperor, but they can report their responsibilities to the saint, but not everyone can get such an honor. If it were not for the great governor's appreciation, how could they easily meet the emperor?
However... this is for others, for Pei He... He has seen the emperor many times in his previous life. He has long been tired of this emperor who was extremely wise when he was young, pretentious when he was middle-aged, and now he is afraid of death and being deceived by a group of Taoist priests.
Wu Xinan saw that he looked disdainful, and thought he had always been so kind, but he didn't think deeply about it, just nodded,
"That's right, I'll arrive at the palace gate in the afternoon to meet you..."
Pei He reminded her again,
"Your Majesty has always been in the West Garden, but the master is in the palace. I came back after seeing Your Majesty. I think it should be enough time. If I have not arrived yet, you can wait for me there!"
"good!"
After discussing, the young couple washed up and went to bed without mentioning it. They were speechless all night. The next day, they were busy. Wu Xinan went out first and took Wang Yong and Qian Feng. When they arrived at Xisanlihe, they met Xiao Guirong first, and then went to the shop to meet the owner.
The owner of the house was an old man with a duo surname Shangguan. He was tall and had a yellow face, and he seemed to have some inconvenience. He was supported by a young woman. The four of them met in the room. Seeing that both were women, the woman took off the hat on her head. Wu Xin'an and Xiao Guirong looked stunning. The woman had a good appearance, a goose face, almond eyes, peach cheeks, bright eyes and white teeth. She was a first-class beauty. She looked at her beauty and Pei He!
The woman had long been used to the gaze of others to her. She smiled slightly and moved her lotus step forward to salute.
"The two sisters are polite, and the little girl is Shangguan Ting, this is my father Shangguan Jian..."
Both of them returned the greeting and said, Mr. Shangguan and Miss Shangguan waved their hands,
"What sir, the little old man is just a rural farmer near the suburbs of Beijing. His ancestors saved money and bought this shop in the city and collected some rent to live. You can call me "Old Man Shangguan!"
Wu Xinan said with a smile,
"It is better to call the elders Uncle Shangguan!"
Shangguan Jian smiled,
"That little old man is too big!"
Both of them said they deserved it. After a few greetings, Wu Xinan explained his purpose.
"Uncle Shangguan, we want to do this business for a long time, so we want to spend money to buy this shop. I wonder if you are willing to give up?"
"this……"
Shangguan Jian turned to look at his daughter. Shangguan Ting thought about it and shook her head.
"To be honest, my two sisters said that my father was sick and had been taking medicine to recuperate. Apart from a few acres of thin fields, he had to have only this shop. Although he had a large sum of silver for the shop, he still had to make a long-lasting effort!"
Shangguan Jian also answered,
"I have no choice but to have this property at home, and I still hope to leave it to my daughter as a dowry in the future. You two should rent it..."
Wu Xinan was a little disappointed, but when doing business, one must be a matter of one's own will, and one cannot force a buy or sell, right?
Now respond,
"Even if you don't want to sell it, we'd better rent it according to the previous contract!"
Shangguan Jian nodded, so he changed the contract of the shop owner in front of him, changed it to the names of the two of them, and then ordered the money he had agreed with the shop owner in front of him, so that the shop owner would follow the shop owner and give the shop owner three days to carry the goods. Only then did the two finish the matter.
The two of them said goodbye, Shangguan Jian and others, and looked up at the sky. They saw that it was already noon. They remembered the agreement with Pei He and said to Xiao Guirong.
"Sister Rong, it's already noon. Why not find a place to eat?"
Xiao Guirong responded,
"This place is not far from home, so of course I'll go to eat at home!"
Wu Xinan shook her head,
"I made an appointment with Pei He in the afternoon. I was afraid that I would delay when I went back, so I would find a restaurant and order a few side dishes. After using it, I could go there as soon as possible!"
She had already said she was going to go to the appointment, but Xiao Guirong couldn't hold on. The four of them picked a clean restaurant nearby and ordered some dishes. Because they had something to do in the afternoon, they didn't dare to drink, so they just buried their heads in the rice and ate the dishes. After using the meal, Wu Xin'an asked the store to book a few unmoved dishes and took them back to Xiao Guirong.
"This shop looks like the small storefront, and the chef is very skilled. We have ordered more of them today. Before we can touch these dishes, Sister Rong took them back for her aunt and younger siblings to try!"
This room asked Qian Feng to send Xiao Guirong back again. Xiao Guirong was also very kind-hearted. Knowing that she was intentionally helping her, she was grateful and took it to Wu Xin'an for blessing.
"Thank you, Sister Anan!"
After taking the thing, he firmly refused Qian Feng's gift and went back by himself.
Wu Xinan then took the two guards to the palace and rode to the palace. When he arrived at the palace gate designated by Pei He, Pei He had not arrived yet, the three of them found a place on the shady back and waited. It took half an hour to wait.
At this time, a little eunuch in green came over and politely said,
"I don't know if Mrs. Pei is in front of me?"
Wu Xinan looked at him and saw that he was only twelve or thirteen years old, with a white face and a thin body, he replied,
"My husband's family is surnamed Pei..."
The little eunuch replied,
"I am Xiao Shunzi, the ancestor who was running errands with me. Our ancestors knew that you were coming here today. After waiting for a long time, I didn't see anyone, so I asked me to come out and take a look..."
Wu Xinan responded,
"I asked my husband to wait here before, but he hadn't arrived yet..."
The little eunuch looked at the sun,
"With such a big sun, it's so hot outside the palace gate. You'd better not wait at the door and go in first with me!"
"this……"
Wu Xinan was a little hesitant. She had always been a brave man, but she was not afraid of going into the palace alone. She had only met the old eunuch once. She didn't know his temperament. If she went in and met him, she would be in trouble if she didn't speak well and did not have Pei He around to smooth things over, she would be afraid that she would offend her husband's master!
The eunuch advised again,
"My ancestor has sent someone to Xiyuan to inquire, and soon I will reply. If you wait at my ancestor, you will know the news about Lord Pei. Isn't it better than working here?"
Wu Xinan was finally convinced, so he left Wang Yong and Qian Feng behind, and followed the eunuch into the palace.
Pei He followed Lu Bing to Xiyuan early in the morning. This Xiyuan was originally just a place where emperors of Daqing dynasties went out of the palace to relax, but only to Emperor Jiajing. However, because he was almost killed by the palace maids in the palace in front of him, he became afraid of the palace, so he ran out of the palace and stayed in the Xiyuan for a long time. Unless there were major celebrations and officials asking for help, he would never step into the palace. So now, the court officials, or the emperor issued a decree, were all in the Xiyuan!
Lu Bing took Pei He into the West Garden, which was more vigilant than the palace, and waited outside first, and someone came out to report it.
"Grandpa, Your Majesty is doing morning class. After doing morning class, you have to look at the pills you practiced yesterday in the alchemy room. I am afraid you won't come out for a while. Otherwise... you can rest a while and wait for Your Majesty to come out... I will come and report to you immediately!"
The person who came out to report the news was the eunuch Huang Jin. Lu Bing was not an ordinary foreign minister. He was the emperor's nanny brother and a powerful lord. One day, Dongchang was crushed to death and could not turn over. Even Huang Jin, the big boss of Dongchang, would bow his head and shout the Great Governor when he saw him.
What's more, these little eunuchs are, but Lu Bing has always been calm and has few arrogant and domineering behaviors. He is also very close to these eunuchs in the palace. Therefore, when he goes in and out of the palace, someone rushed forward to show his gratitude. Lu Bing nodded when he heard this.
"good!"
