Chapter 73: Throwing stones and asking for directions

. Su didn't look at it for long before returning to the front store from the backyard.

After Song Chunhe picked up the book, he saw Su Mingjue coming back from the backyard. He held up the book in his hand and said: "The Beauty Judge" just came out, do you want a copy?"

Su Mingjue thought of the terrifying scene he saw last time. He shuddered all over, the writing was so realistic, and he has not been desensitized yet.

He quickly shook his head and refused, "No, I don't have time to read it recently.

Seeing that he didn't want it, Song Chunhe didn't insist anymore, "Okay, that's the last study left. " Hearing this

, Jamel Xiao frowned slightly: “There’s no need to go to Hongxiu Study, that boss doesn’t look serious. "

Su Mingjue didn't care, after all, selling paintings had nothing to do with his business.

Song Chunhe rolled his eyes, rolled his eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "You old-fashioned idiot. "

The air suddenly became quiet. When Su Mingjue saw that both sides were silent, he coughed and said, "Then let's not go! Anyway, I have seen almost all of it. The location of Chunfeng Street is excellent. Is there anything you can do if you look around? An empty shop is also good. "

Xiao Jamming knew that Su Mingjue was giving them a way to relax, so he immediately answered: "Although Chunfeng Street is not as good as Fan'an Street in Dongshi, cars and people come and go here every day, and the shops are always very popular. I want to find them. Finding the right store is not easy. "

Su Mingjue nodded when he heard this, "I want to take a stroll first. Although

Song Chunhe was choked with anger, he also knew that Su Mingjue was doing something serious. As he walked forward, he skillfully introduced: "Chunfeng Street is a street on the east and west sides. In addition to three study rooms, there are some restaurants and teahouses here." It is a place for people passing by to take a nap or have a quick meal, but not much else. "

Su Mingjue glanced at the two rows of streets. It was indeed no different from other streets, but what was interesting was that there were many shops selling the Four Treasures of the Study. It seemed that it was because of the reputation of the three study houses that they also put up relevant shops here. property.

As Xiao Jingming said, none of the shops were vacant. However, Su Mingjue found a store in the middle that

was in a hurry. There was a wooden sign outside the shop that said . I went back to my hometown due to an urgent matter.

Su Mingjue took a look at it. It was a large teahouse with two floors. The space was quite spacious and there was more than enough room for books.

He walked in and asked about it . Storekeeper, "I dare to ask the shopkeeper, how much is the rent for this shop?"

The storekeeper was wearing a brown gown and was immersed in abacus. Hearing the sound, he raised his head and said: "Eighty taels a month, only annual rent, no need to discuss anything else. "

The price of eight taels is a bit high.

After Su Mingjue asked, he didn't say anything else. When

Song Chunhe saw him coming out, he asked: "Why is the shopkeeper asking a high price?"

Su Mingjue said: "It's not too high, just However, I still feel that this location is a little bit inferior. It is in the middle of Chunfeng Street. It would be better if it was on the street. Song

Chunhe said: "The shop on the street has been there for many years. It's probably difficult for you to take advantage of it." "

Su Mingjue just took a closer look. It was a shop selling bows and arrows.

He wondered: "Is this shop doing a good job? It can sell bows and arrows for so many years. "

That shop is indeed very good. Not to mention the location, the shape of the building is also very good, semi-curved. Coming from somewhere else, you can see this shop from a distance, which is conspicuous enough.

But he can't figure out, this bow and arrow It's not used by ordinary people and not liked by nobles and nobles. How can it keep opening for so long and the store is not very small?

Song Chunhe shook his head, "I don't know. I just remember that this store existed a long time ago." The store is open, but it seems that not many people enter it on a daily basis, and I don’t know who is doing business in this store. "

Xiao Jamming heard this and said: "The shop on the street doesn't do anything practical. I guess it loses money a lot. But if you want to, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to get it. "

Xiao Jingming is the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. He has one of the best ownerships of shops in the capital. The person who can make him say such things must have a not simple background.

Su Mingjue pondered for a moment and said: "Could it be that the owner behind this has a lot of background? Xiao

Jamming glanced at the shops on the street and said, "This land belongs to the Meng family, and the person currently handling it should be the direct grandson of the Meng family." "

"The direct grandson of the Meng family," Song Chunhe exclaimed, "You shouldn't say that this store belongs to Meng Helan, right?"

Xiao Jamming nodded slightly, "Yes, it belongs to him. He

paused for a moment and said: "This shop has been rented out before, and the housekeeper sent people to take care of it. But a few years ago, a bow and arrow shop suddenly opened. It has been open for several years."

Song Chunhe said in surprise: "Who did I think opened such a shop here? It turned out to be Meng Helan. No wonder it has never been closed for so many years. " He wasted such a good position. "

Su Mingjue thought for a while. This location is really good. If he rents it, he will definitely make his bookstore popular.

But if he wants to get it, he will have to deal with Meng Helan.

Thinking of this, he asked: "This shop is also owned by Meng Helan. "Do you take care of it?"

Xiao Jingming said: "I don't know about that. The Ministry of Household Affairs only registers and keeps records, and no one else knows about it. "

Su Mingjue felt relieved. He went into the store and took a look around. There were a lot of bows and arrows in the store, ranging from one to nine stones, with different materials and colors. It looked very professional.

But this The store obviously had a backyard, but it was enclosed.

Walking further inside, there was a studio-like compartment filled with various tools. He casually asked the store clerk: "Is this bow made by yourself?

The waiter nodded and said, "Yes, my guest likes that bow. I'll take it off for you and have a look. This bow was made by my master... the shopkeeper himself. " "

Su Mingjue pointed at it casually, "Let's take this one and let me take a look.

The clerk nodded and took it off, and said, "This bow is made of fine sandalwood. It is smooth and delicate, and it feels very good to the touch. " "

Su Mingjue looked around carefully. This bow was indeed very well made, but the polishing method was very similar to the bow Meng Helan gave him at home. He suddenly felt that this bow might have been made by Meng Helan himself.

So it seems like , this shop is probably his personal hobby collection place, so it doesn’t matter whether he loses money or not.

Su Mingjue weighed the bow in his hand and said: "How much does this bow cost?"

The clerk responded enthusiastically: "This bow. Not expensive, just a tael of silver. "

Su Mingjue put away the bow, took out the money from her pocket and paid it: "I want this bow. "

When Song Chunhe and Su Mingjue walked out of the store together, he still had an incredulous expression on his face: "Don't you like archery? Why spend that wasted money? "

Su Mingjue smiled calmly and said: "This is a stepping stone. "

Song Chunhe: "Ah"

Su Mingjue counted the time and said goodbye to Song Chunhe and Xiao Jamming, "I still have something to do, see you tomorrow. "

After saying that, he got into the carriage without waiting for Song Chun or them to reply.

Song Chunhe stood there blankly and said with a confused look on his face: "What is he going to do?"

Xiao Jamming shrugged and said, "Maybe I'm throwing stones to ask for directions."

Song Chunhe: "Ha."

A quarter of an hour later, Su Mingjue stood at the door of Meng's Mansion with a bow, looking at the tall and majestic plaque and the stone pier in front of the door, waiting. A message from the servants.
