MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 583 Busy

"Mr. Li, let's see, this house has three houses and six courtyards. There are many houses and the scenery is pleasant. It is best to use it to run a school. Even if you don't run a school in the future, you can use it as another courtyard. There are many families around here. The environment is quiet..." The middle man smiled while peeking at Li Baolu's face: "And the price of this house is not high, only three thousand five hundred taels."

  Li Baolu shook her head slightly, "I don't mean to buy a house, I just want to rent."

   The middle man was slightly disappointed when he heard the words, and turned to say: "If you rent it, the house will cost fifteen taels a month, and you will have to pay for the repairs."

   "Can it be cheaper if I rent for a long time?"

  The Chinese also knew the purpose of Li Baolu's renting the house, and thought about it for a while: "You can ask the landlord for a small one, but you may not be able to cut the price."

  Li Baolu smiled, "Just do your best."

   The location and layout of this house are good, and Li Baolu is very satisfied with it. But she is really not reluctant to ask her to buy it. The technical school may change positions in the future, and she only has an obsession with home.

   I’m not very interested in other properties such as courtyards, even if I buy them, they are abandoned or rented out.

  Abandoned and not to mention, even if it is rented, the rent collected will not be much.

   So Li Baolu's intention was not to buy a house. After seeing the house and making some requests, Li Baolu left.

  Gu Jingyun was walking slowly with An An, An An grabbed a bunch of candied haws in her hand, grinned when she saw her mother, stretched out her hand and brought the candied haws to her mouth, "Eat, eat..."

  Li Baolu smiled and hugged her, "You can eat it, my mother doesn't like sweets."

  An An hugged the candied haws and happily took a bite, turned her head to see her father, and then remembered that she hadn't let him go, and hurriedly put the half-eaten candied haws to her father's mouth.

   Gu Jingyun's face turned blue, he avoided smiling and said, "You can eat it, Daddy doesn't like sweets either."

   Strange!

   Li Baolu glanced at him, knowing that he was a clean freak and committed it again.

  Li Baolu stuffed her daughter into the car, poked his waist and said, "That's your daughter, and you can eat from the last one."

   Gu Jingyun pretended not to hear it, sat in the car with a serious face, turned his head and said to An An: "The weather is hot, Daddy will take you to swim in the lake tomorrow, shall we go pick lotus seeds?"

  An An answered happily, "Okay!"

   Gu Jingyun glanced at Li Baolu and saw that she doesn't mind her daughter.

   "Didn't Your Majesty ask you to repair the book, how are you preparing?"

   "Cultivation of books is not something that can be done in a day or two, so don't be in a hurry."

   "But I'm busy!" So can you spend the summer vacation at home, instead of going out to play every three days?

   Gu Jingyun glanced at her and said, "You can find someone to help you." Like me.

  Li Baolu understood what he meant, and immediately hugged his arm and said, "Brother Jingyun, can you help me?"

"No," Gu Jingyun said solemnly: "The books we handed over to the bookstore a few years ago are almost ready to be printed. I plan to buy the two stores on the left and right, and build it into a big bookstore, where anyone can enter the store to borrow books. . And some books are small, printing is not cost-effective, I decided to ask someone to transcribe. Poor students who come to read books can earn this hard-earned money.”

  Li Baolu was stunned, "You don't want to help me?" Then why are you tempting me to say such things?

   Gu Jingyun glanced at her sideways and said, "I just tell you, I've been very busy lately and can't find time, but if you beg me, maybe I'll let go of my own business first."

"..." Li Baolu stared at Gu Jingyun for a while, then glanced at her daughter who was sitting on the mat nibbling the candied haws seriously, stretched out her arms and hugged his arm, laying her face on his shoulder and said, "Jing Yun Brother, please help me~~"

  Gu Jingyun couldn't help but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, watching her without speaking.

  Li Baolu gritted her teeth and was thinking of making persistent efforts when An An dropped the candied haws with only one stick left and rushed into Gu Jingyun's arms, imitating her mother to look at her father, "Daddy, help me~~"

   Gu Jingyun's complexion changed greatly, and he quickly grabbed her collar, but it was still too late, two small paw prints were printed on Gu Jingyun's clothes.

  Li Baolu couldn't help laughing when she saw this. She hugged the confused girl and wiped her hands. She slapped her face and praised, "An An has done a good job. In the future, you will always act like a spoiled child with your father, do you know that?"

   Gu Jingyun took off his outer clothes and threw them aside, but he still felt uncomfortable.

   When he got home, Gu Jingyun hurriedly asked for water to bathe. Li Baolu coaxed An An to take a nap after feeding her water.

   After she fell asleep, she went to find Gu Jingyun.

  Gu Jingyun was wearing wet hair, sitting cross-legged on the couch with only his underwear on. Seeing her come in, he waved his hand and said, "Come and see, this is the layout of the bookstore I designed."

  Li Baolu walked up to him and sat down, looked at him and asked, "The owner of the shop next door has promised to sell the shop to you?"

  Lingsheng Street has always been a sought-after shop. Even if their shop is at the corner of the street, the traffic is not small. It was a luck to be able to buy that bookstore in the first place.

   "Good luck can't come from time to time, so this time I plan to win it with strength."

"Um?"

   "We smashed it with money."

  Li Baolu: "...Are we rich?"

   "Less than them," Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "But you don't need gold and silver to buy these two shops, you can use other things."

"for example……"

   "For example, the coral tree collected in the treasury and the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" that was described."

   "It's just coral trees, isn't "Orchid Pavilion Collection" a fake?"

   "Although it is a fake, it is also a valuable fake," Gu Jingyun said. "There are two neighbors on the left and right of our bookstore, one loves jewelry and rare treasures, and the other loves antiques, calligraphy and painting, and I don't have any shortage of these two."

   What he lacks is money and real estate.

   "Is it possible to trade a coral tree for a shop?"

   "No loss, let's choose a smaller tree to send."

   "Do you want to add something to the "Orchid Pavilion Preface"?" Li Baolu felt a little guilty that it was a fake.

Gu Jingyun just clicked her nose and said, "What a fool, if it is the real work of Wang Xizhi, it is priceless. It is said that it is a shop, even if he trades an entire street of shops, he may not be able to exchange it. This "Orchid Pavilion Collection" Although the Preface is a facsimile, it is also from the hands of famous masters, and it costs two or three thousand taels for leisure, so he is not at a loss.”

Li Baolu clicked her tongue, rolled her eyes and said, "Brother Jingyun, we will write more words and draw more paintings in the future, and then save them for future generations. After thousands of years, these can become antiques, which is comparable to gold. Silver jewelry is still valuable."

  Gu Jingyun couldn't help laughing, "What a silly girl."

   Li Baolu looked serious, "I'm serious."

  Li Baolu just did what she said. It just so happened that they had to practice calligraphy every day. In the past, they practiced calligraphy on the front, and used the back to make a draft.

   But now she will choose some, put away the words that the two of them wrote well, and use the rest to make drafts.

   Gu Jingyun shook his head with a smile, but let her go. She also specially cooperated to draw some pictures for her to save.

   As he painted, he drew almost the scenery at home. Li Baolu was not satisfied, so he hugged An An and made him a model for him to paint.

  Gu Jingyun's eyes lit up and opened up another form of entertainment. He began to draw a lot of characters.

  The paintings of An An rolling on the grass, the paintings of chasing cats and butterflies, and the paintings of lying on a reclining chair with a full stomach are vivid and cute.

  He Zipei accidentally saw that he couldn't fall in love, so he searched all the paintings and went back to appreciate them with Qin Xinfang. Within two days, Qin Xinfang also began to paint Niuniu with a pen, and more often he painted his wife and daughter together in the paintings.

  Besides An An, Gu Jingyun painted Bao Lu the most, but he never took out these paintings for others to see, but put them away himself.

  Li Baolu is responsible for making inscriptions on the painted paintings.

  The couple had such a good time that they almost forgot about the bookstore and the technical school.

   Fortunately, Gu Jingyun had a good understanding of the preferences of the neighbors on the left and right. As soon as the two items were sent out, the two stores were quickly transferred to Gu Jingyun's name.

  The bookstore has begun to close for renovations, and we hope to reopen when the school starts.

   And the house that Li Baolu wanted to rent was finally negotiated, and an agreement was finally reached with a monthly rent of 13 taels, but the owner asked Li Baolu to pay the rent for three years at one time.

   This is also the request of the other party to make concessions on the rent.

  Li Baolu agreed after a little thought.

  The two accomplished these two important things before the end of the summer vacation. After they were free, they realized that their two apprentices seemed to be back later than the scheduled time.

   It's almost the start of school and I haven't come back yet.

  Li Baolu said, "Would you like to send someone to take a look?"

  Gu Jingyun shook his head, "Wait two more days."

   Two days later, there was still no news from Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi, even Gu Jingyun couldn't help frowning. In three days, the academy will open.

   "Zhou Da and the others happen to be in Beijing. I'll let them take a look tomorrow."

  Li Baolu nodded slightly.

   The next day, Gu Jingyun went to Liuer Hutong to find Zhou Da and the others. He thought it would take a day or two to hear the news. Who knew that Zhou Da would come back with Erlin and the others that afternoon.

   Zhou Da replied: "The little one met them on the road before he arrived in Baoding."

   Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi were thin and dark at this time, and jumped out of the car to kowtow to Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu, "Mr. and teacher are worried."

  Li Baolu helped him up, looked at the carriage and asked with a smile, "You brought your friends back?"

   Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi blushed, and hurriedly opened the curtain of the car and pulled down the little girl inside, "Teacher, we rescued this on the way."

   The little girl timidly hid behind Qu Weizhen, blinking her eyes at Li Baolu.

  Li Baolu was startled and asked, "Whose child is this, and how did you save him?"

"I don't know, I just picked it up on the side of the road in the morning and asked her she didn't say anything, but she was very scared, it seemed that someone was chasing her from behind." Qu Jingxi said: "My sister and I saw her pitiful and gave her to her. I took it with me, thinking about finding a family for her when I get to the capital."
