Chapter 142

Volume 1_Chapter 142: If You Like It, Pay; If Not, It's Fate

Today's He Mingxuan was dressed in a light blue robe, looking gentle and elegant, which very much suited his mild temperament.

At this time, he was standing at the bottom of the steps, looking towards the entrance of the General's Mansion, looking like he was waiting for Yun Qiyue to appear.

It was also at this time that Yun Qiyue walked out, and He Mingxuan saw her at a glance; a touch of brightness appeared in his gentle eyes, and a smile rose at the corners of his lips, making him look even more gentle.

"Do you want to go see the shop directly?" He Mingxuan looked at Yun Qiyue who had come to him.

Yun Qiyue nodded: "Let's go directly."

After saying that, Yun Qiyue and Xixue got into He Mingxuan's carriage, and then He Mingxuan and the servant Shitou also followed into the carriage.

As soon as the carriage drove away a little, the gate of the Houfu opened, and a figure followed closely behind.

Soon, the carriage arrived on the main street.

He Mingxuan took Yun Qiyue directly to a shop.

It was just that Yun Qiyue was a bit puzzled because the shop sold silk, and the business looked quite good; at least she couldn't see any intention of the shop being transferred?

"Customer, do you want to buy cloth?" The shopkeeper greeted them with a full smile.

He Mingxuan said indifferently: "Shopkeeper, I heard before that this shop was to be transferred, I wonder if the news is true?"

The shopkeeper was stunned upon hearing this, and then made a gesture of invitation to He Mingxuan and Yun Qiyue, "Please follow me inside to talk."

After saying that, the shopkeeper instructed the shop assistant to attend to business and took the few of them to the inner room.

Yun Qiyue felt more and more puzzled, but she didn't show it on her face.

After entering the inner room, the shopkeeper personally poured tea for Yun Qiyue and He Mingxuan.

"Are you two here to buy the shop?" The shopkeeper asked.

He Mingxuan looked at Yun Qiyue and nodded, "We are indeed here to buy the shop, but it looks like your shop's business is still okay, and it doesn't look like it's for sale."

He Mingxuan asked the question in Yun Qiyue's heart.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper looked at He Mingxuan and then gave a bitter smile.

"Young Master, you don't know, although this shop has good business, I have been away from my hometown for many years, and I am thinking of selling the shop and returning to my roots."

Once the shopkeeper said this, Yun Qiyue understood.

The idea of returning to one's roots has been passed down since ancient times.

After confirming that the shopkeeper really had the intention to sell the shop, Yun Qiyue began to negotiate the price with the shopkeeper.

And at this time, the Regent's Mansion.

Yun Qiyue's itinerary for today was reported to Ye Lanjue by his subordinates again.

Hearing that Yun Qiyue was hanging out with that He Mingxuan again, Ye Lanjue's face instantly turned gloomy, and he looked at Chen Feng with cold eyes.

Chen Feng: "..."

Almost knelt down.

Chen Feng's back felt slightly cold, his whole body was a bit stiff, but he had to take a step forward.

"What are your orders, Master?"

Yun Qiyue and the shopkeeper talked very well.

Because this was a prosperous shop with a good location, and besides the front facade, there was a courtyard in the back, so there was plenty of space, so the price was not cheap, five thousand taels.

Of course, five thousand taels to buy a shop in this area was not expensive, and with that courtyard, it was even relatively cheap.

Most importantly, Yun Qiyue was very satisfied because it was very suitable for opening a medical hall.

Therefore, after hearing the price, Yun Qiyue very decisively took out the silver notes.

"Dad—"

Just as the shopkeeper was about to take the silver notes, a hurried voice sounded.

The shopkeeper's hand paused, and he looked at the door.

He saw a young man in green running in, his expression somewhat urgent and flustered.

The young man took a quick look at He Mingxuan, and then said to the shopkeeper: "Dad, don't be in a hurry to sell the shop, son has important words to tell you."

Seeing his son's appearance, the shopkeeper was a bit embarrassed.

It was all negotiated—

"Dad, there really is an important matter, an urgent matter!" Seeing his father not moving, the young man's expression became even more anxious.

If he didn't get his old man out, their family would be in big trouble.

Upon hearing it was an urgent matter, the shopkeeper took a quick look at He Mingxuan before looking at Yun Qiyue, "This young lady, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

After saying that, the shopkeeper got up and went out with his son.

When only He Mingxuan and Yun Qiyue's servant were left in the room, He Mingxuan looked at Yun Qiyue and comforted her: "It's okay, don't worry."

Yun Qiyue shook her head, "I'm not worried."

When that young man came, she had a feeling that things might change.

But, buying and selling a shop is all about fate; if this one can't be bought, there's the next one.

Seeing that Yun Qiyue was truly not worried at all, He Mingxuan didn't say anything more.

The shopkeeper soon returned, and his son came back with him.

The shopkeeper looked at Yun Qiyue with an apologetic face, "This young lady, our shop is not for sale anymore, I am truly sorry."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue looked understanding.

Since they didn't want to sell, there was nothing to force.

So Yun Qiyue got up and prepared to leave.

At this time, the shopkeeper's son spoke, "This young lady, I am truly sorry, the shop is not for sale due to personal reasons; to make up for the young lady's loss, I have an empty shop here that I can introduce to you, I guarantee it's better than our shop."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue, adhering to the principle of "not looking is a waste," nodded and agreed.

At this time, Yun Qiyue did not see He Mingxuan's brow slightly furrowed, nor did she see He Mingxuan's questioning gaze towards the shopkeeper, while the shopkeeper's eyes were clearly dodging.

Soon, the shopkeeper's son took Yun Qiyue to the street next door.

Sure enough, when they arrived, the shop was empty and very desolate; one look and you could tell this shop was for sale.

At this time, in this huge shop, there was only an old man with white hair and beard dozing off, obviously bored from waiting for buyers.

However, this street was so prosperous, it was logically impossible for this empty shop not to be sold.

In Jingcheng, if you drop a brick, you could hit a bunch of rich people.

But soon, Yun Qiyue knew the reason.

Feeling that someone had entered, the dozing old man stretched, and then looked at the few of them with lazy eyes.

His gaze lingered on Yun Qiyue for a moment, and then the old man closed his eyes again, asking lazily, "Which one of you is buying the shop?"

Just, the kind of attitude that was very negligent.

The shopkeeper's son felt a bit embarrassed seeing this scene, but Yun Qiyue thought this old man had quite a personality and wasn't annoyed, saying indifferently: "I'm buying."

Upon hearing this, the old man opened his eyes.

His gaze fell accurately on Yun Qiyue, and then he closed his eyes again, waving his hand, "Alright, go see it yourself; if you like it, pay; if not, it's fate."

Yun Qiyue: "..."

Since he let her look, she would look.

But when He Mingxuan wanted to follow Yun Qiyue inside, the old man suddenly got up and stopped He Mingxuan, very impolitely, "Since that young lady wants to buy it, why are you joining in the fun? Wait outside."

He Mingxuan was stopped, and his face was a bit embarrassed.

And at this time, Yun Qiyue had already walked in.

However, when she saw the person inside, Yun Qiyue was stunned.
