It was still early, so Qin Lei abandoned the king's carriage, changed into an ordinary carriage, and headed straight for the North City.

Beicheng is the commercial area of ​​Zhongdu, where the 9th Street, 18fang and 24th Commercial Stores are located. The winding Xiaoqing River passes through the city, and ships from the south along the Grand Canal are moored here. The rows of shops are built along the river, and countless laborers are carrying goods to pass between shops and ships. The horses, livestock, rice, silk from the south, cereals, porcelain from the east, and ore from the west, and jade from the west are mostly gathered here through the canal, and then transported to the streets and alleys of Zhongdu City through these large and small shops, providing the beating of the Qin heart.

Qin Lei came to find a house for the yamen that will be built in a few days. According to the regulations, the yamen and four departments of the temple should work together in Xicheng. But that was the ground of Prime Minister Wen. There is a saying that even if a mosquito flew past Xicheng, the Prime Minister's Mansion could immediately know its male and female. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it could also tell Qin Lei that if he didn't want to sleep, it would be better not to open the mountain gate in Xicheng, where the ministry gathered.

Qin Lei fell in love with Beicheng, but the carriage went back and forth along Xiaoqing River twice, and Qin Lei did not see the house that made his eyes lit up. Qin Lei closed the window, moved his neck with a little soreness, and kicked Shi Meng, who looked mournful on the side, and joked: "What kind of store does Boss Shi like?"

Shi Meng just subconsciously shook his head, completely missing the magical power of the past, and the fierce and singing spirit. Yesterday, when Guantao heard Guantao say he wanted him to come to the North City to open a brothel, Shi Meng was panicked and almost knelt down to Guantao and asked his grandfather to beg for mercy. But Guantao called him to the table and asked him to look at the map of Qin on it, and drew more than a dozen circles with charcoal. Guantao said to him warmly: "Look, it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to open a brothel in the North City. You can choose whatever you want." Then he sighed: "This is the benefit of the first one. If it is the last one, you can only choose the remaining places others have." Shi Meng was not a stupid person. He knew that Guantao was hidingly warning himself not to be picky. He also understood that the prince would not open a brothel just to tease him, so he had to respond reluctantly.

But when I think about my future, I will be associated with the prostitute, my madam's teapot, and my heart is dark. Since I came out of Guantao yesterday, Shi Meng has been in a state of dismay, and even the major event of choosing a location for his future store is not energetic.

Qin Lei slapped his head and finally brought him back to his senses. Qin Lei pretended to be fierce and asked, "Isn't this errand beautiful?" Shi Meng nodded pitifully. If there were errands in the world that were more erotic than brothel owners, it must be the bosses who opened two brothels.

Qin Lei asked viciously again: "Can't you raise your head in front of the pink head?" Shi Meng nodded helplessly. Of course, the pink head's head could raise its head in front of the pink head. But in this way, he wouldn't be able to raise his head in front of the pink head.

Qin Lei stared at Shi Meng with anger and asked, "Then what else are you not satisfied with?" Shi Meng was stared at by Qin Lei, thought about it carefully, lowered his head and whispered: "It seems that it is not so grand enough."

Qin Lei patted his shoulder and changed his gentle face and said, "This problem is easy to solve. Wu Ye will find you the most luxurious yard as a store, right?"

Shi Meng is not a person who is ignorant of politeness. Knowing that things cannot be changed, it is the best choice to go down the donkey. The bull's eyes finally blinked and said awkwardly: "I want three layers."

Qin Lei felt relieved. It would be fine if he had really made no sense just now. He didn't want to force this close subordinate who looked rough and had gullies. If Shi Meng knew that he would hold on for a while, he would be bright and might cry three times: "Oh my God!", and then plunged into Xiaoqing River to find a short story.

…………

The carriage ran along the Xiaoqing River again. This time Shi Meng's bull's eyes glared and fell in love with a store next to Qinglong Street.

Without saying a word, Qin Lei asked the carriage to park in front of the restaurant called Daheyuan. He shouldn't have come forward in this kind of thing, but Qin Lei apologized for Shi Meng in his heart and insisted on buying the store for him personally.

The group entered the lobby with all their hearts in a crowd. It was the first month of the year, and there were not many people eating, and the restaurant was still a little deserted.

When the shopkeeper saw the group of strong men in black surrounded Qin Lei, he quickly came up and led Qin Lei to the private room on the third floor. After Qin Lei sat down, he asked the old shopkeeper with kindness: "Can you stay in a hotel here?"

The old shopkeeper became a virtuous figure. He could tell at a glance that Qin Lei was a powerful man in the capital. He had to have other plans to stay in a restaurant. But he still answered carefully: "If you go back to the young master, there will be guest rooms behind the shop, with a yard and a tumble building. They are all burning kangs and they are clean."

Qin Lei nodded, pointed at Shi Meng, and said to the old shopkeeper: "Take him back and take a walk. If he is satisfied, let's talk about something else." The old shopkeeper quickly agreed and bowed to something, "Master, please come back." Shi Meng nodded and went down with him.

At this time, Qin Sishui, who had been afraid to speak, couldn't help but speak, "Fifth Master, the famous buildings in our capital are all by the Yudai River, which is quite far away from this."

Qin Lei glanced at him and said half-jokingly: "I said Sishui, you have such a great future. Don't expect to do things."

Qin Sishui is old, how could he not understand that His Highness is very dissatisfied with his cringe this time. But he knows how many bowls of dry rice he can eat, and kneels down for Qin Lei, and Qi Sheng said, "I am betrayal of the prince. But I am the father of six babies. I left the clan mansion because I thought that job made my baby unable to raise my head. But now if I work in the kiln, then my baby will never have a chance to make a fortune in my life, Your Highness." As he said that, he burst into tears.

Qin Lei heard him crying and knew that he had some Menglang this time, but forgot that his subordinates were also living people, and they also had their own pursuits and persistence. He stood up and helped Qin Sishui up, and said with shame: "Si Shui, I was wrong this time. I am sorry for you, I will apologize for you." Qin Sishui did not dare to accept his gift, so he hurriedly avoided and said: "I want to live a few more years, and the prince wants to kill me."

Qin Lei smiled and let go of him and sat back on his seat. Qin Sishui took advantage of the situation and asked, "Can I come out to work in the future?"

Qin Lei shook his head apologetically and said firmly: "One code is the same as one code, you give up this time. It will be someone else's turn next time." Seeing his frustrated look, Qin Lei couldn't bear to say: "Hurry up the Mingmin Consciousness Department's yamen, I'll give you a place to tinker with your bottles and jars."

Qin Sishui suddenly became excited, and said in surprise and joy: "Oh, I like this errand more than being alone."
