Chapter 459: Chapter 459 Looking After The Shop
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
They were surprised to find this shop so far from their residence on the city’s east side. They eventually found it after traveling all the way to the city’s commercial street in the north.
However, looking at the flow of people on the street, the shops here were situated pretty well.
Their shop was just around the corner, with many people passing by. Moreover, judging from the signage, it must have been a high-end restaurant in the past.
Alas, looking at the layer of dust on the tables inside, it seemed that it had been closed for quite some time.
The couple walked to the silk shop next door, and Gu Chengrui asked the shop assistant inside, “Little buddy, when did the restaurant next door close?”
“It’s been locked up for a year. Who are you?” The shop assistant asked.
“Oh, this shop is ours now, so we came to get to know our neighbors.”
“All, you are Scholar Gu.”
“I didn’t expect you to be so well-informed. Were you expecting us?”
“In the morning, some bailiffs came over and said that this restaurant was given to Scholar Gu by the Emperor. They asked us to stop some people from asking too much.”
“Who owned this shop before? Why did such a great shop close down?” Zhou Ying asked.
“We don’t know who it belongs to, but the reason it closed down was relatively straightforward. There was a lack of ingredients, and their food prices were too high.
“We can open for business after a simple clean-up.” Gu Chengrui said after sizing the place up.
“Yes, but I’m afraid it’ll take at least half a year to get it operating.” Zhou Ying nodded.
“Let’s take things slowly. We’ll need to buy someone to keep an eye on the place and clean it up occasionally. Otherwise, if it is not maintained, it will deteriorate further.”
“We’ll see. If my adoptive mother and her family are willing to stay after we get them out, we’ll hand this place over to them.
“We’ll only think about buying someone if they don’t want to take up the job.” “Alright. By the way, when do you plan to get her out?
“It’s troublesome to pay a visit to anyone in the capital. We’ll have to send a visiting card in advance.”
“Tomorrow. 1’11 go over after breakfast tomorrow.
“As for a visiting card, we only send them when we visit. We won’t be needing them.
“Besides, even if we send them in advance, they might not reply.”
“Alright, 1’11 go with you tomorrow.” Gu Chengrui nodded.
However, after dinner, she discovered that Gu Chengrui was following the Third Prince into the palace tomorrow morning.
Gu Chengrui had no choice but to say, “It’d be better if you follow Uncle Feng tomorrow and bring the craftsmen to the residence to clean it up.”
Zhou Ying hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
If the Zhou family threatened her, it would be difficult for her to escape without revealing her trump card..Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
