Dressed as a wronged stepmother, I was pampered by three villains

This is an extremely lively street, lined with shops on both sides. Looking along the street one by one, there are embroidery shops, rouge and gouache, wine and tea, wooden basins and tiles... There are people carrying burdens and shouting everywhere, either selling noodles or selling windmills.

, or selling feather dusters.

Pedestrians were busy coming and going, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining were everywhere, and it was very smoky.

One of Yan Beichen's shops is a restaurant and the other is a silk and satin shop. Zhang Biluo expected that the two shops would be small, but he never expected them to be so big!

The name of the restaurant is "Desheng Restaurant". Baofu said that the name was changed a few years ago. Not to mention, the naming style is very Yan Beichen.

Although the scale of Desheng Building is not as large as that of Heqing Building, it is still three stories high. There is a hollow patio inside, with singing and dancing performances on the round platform in the middle. There are many scattered seats around. The pavilions on the second floor are arranged in a ring, and the guest rooms are on the third floor.

The shopkeeper knew that this was the owner's house, so he hurriedly worked around and took Zhang Biluo to check around. It was already past noon, the singing and dancing had stopped, but there were still many guests downstairs after they had dispersed.

The silk and satin shop is right across from the restaurant, and its name... is quite simple and crude, it's called "Desheng Brocade Shop". The building has three floors, and there are cotton and silk fabrics inside, as well as silk and silk satin. The higher you go up, the more expensive the fabrics are.

Zhang Biluo walked around and looked at the customers who were coming in and out, and felt that the monthly turnover should be quite high.

After viewing the two shops, Zhang Biluo had some thoughts in his mind.

Bao Fu asked: "You have come to your own silk and satin shop, why don't you take something back with you?"

"Don't worry, I don't have time to think about this now."

Baofu was so worried that he said, "Old near the water tower, take it first as a token of respect. If you don't take it, then Sixth Brother will go to Bieyuan to report back. Little Baofu shouldn't be punished?"

Zhang Biluo was amused by her comment, "I don't understand. I feel good about everything I see. Xiao Baofu, please help me make the decision."

Baofu was so rude, he ordered a bunch of them and asked the shopkeeper to wrap them up and put them away, and Yan Liu would come to pick them up later.

After doing this, she asked again: "We are all here, why don't you try some of the food and wine in our restaurant?"

Zhang Biluo smiled and said: "Then go have some tea and rest for a while."

The two of them were drinking tea and resting in the pavilion of the Victory Building. Zhang Biluo said quietly: "Blessed, I realize that I am naive."

Baofu didn't understand why, so he followed her words to comfort her: "Compared with Heqing Restaurant, our restaurant is indeed far behind. Don't be upset, young lady."

"I'm quite upset, but it's not what you said." Zhang Biluo took a sip of tea, "I thought the general took out a shop that was neglected and about to close. I had a dream last night.

I renovated the two shops, and their business has been booming since then, reaching the peak of business. I never expected that these two shops in the downtown area are making money every day!"

"Isn't this good? Then what are you worried about?"

"I didn't expect the general to be so honest. If it were anyone else, would Huo Huo be able to give me such a shop? Would he be willing to let me turn it into a bookstore?"

Bao Fu was convinced, "It can be seen from this little thing that the general is deeply devoted to you."

Zhang Biluo thought to himself: Pull him down quickly, he may not even know how much money these industries make.

"Let's go shopping elsewhere later. I can't move these two shops. I'll look for a suitable shop."

"But this is the general's heart."

"That's not a waste of money, don't you think?"

"Young lady, why don't you tell the general? The general will definitely help you find another way."

Zhang Biluo shook his head slowly, "I don't plan to rely on him. I'd better figure out my own affairs by myself."

Just as he was talking, someone ran up from downstairs, opened the curtain and barged in.

"You two, do me a favor and let me hide for a while." The handsome young man bowed his head and sat down opposite Zhang Biluo, covering his face with his hands for fear of being seen by people passing by outside.

Zhang Biluo knocked on the table, "Who are you?"

The young man said "Shush" and said, "Keep your voice down, I finally ran out, don't let them take me back."

Zhang Biluo is most annoyed by vague words, "You and I are strangers, so why should I help you? You'd better make it clear right away, or I'll go out and call someone."

"No, no, no, no," said the young man, "outside is my family's attendant, sent by my mother to take me back to practice being a girl...to practice painting."

Zhang Biluo frowned and looked at him for a few times. This man had watery almond eyes, fair and thin skin, and no beard. Looking at his ears and neck, what else didn't he understand?

"What are you practicing painting for? Are you practicing for female celebrities?"

"Ah?" The girl's eyes widened and she covered her mouth with both hands, "How do you know?"

Zhang Biluo stretched out his hand to block her eyes, "Don't stare. Your eyes are already big. When you stare, they are like two brass bells."

Baofu went to the door and took a few glances, then came back and said, "There were a few people outside. After looking around, they left."

The girl breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master, how do you know that I am a woman?"

Zhang Biluo smiled and said, "Can you be more careful when you disguise yourself as a man? You are naturally pretty, but you don't have a beard, you are not tall enough, you are thin and small, and your ear holes are so obvious."

The girl was stupid and said, "Ah, so many loopholes?"

"A woman who can be easily seen as a man is better off not pretending to be a man."

The girl nodded, stood up and clasped her fists: "Thank you very much, Master, for taking me in. I also want to thank this little brother for going out specifically to help me find out. My name is Gu Zisun. May I ask what your surname is? Where do you live? The little girl will be here soon."

Thank you very much."

Zhang Biluo thought to himself: Which kid is so smart? Who took you in? You ran in by yourself, okay? I thought you were wasting time.

Baofu also thought: Don't put your face on it, I'm really not spying on you specifically, I just want you to leave as soon as possible.

When the girl asked for her name and address, Zhang Biluo would definitely not let her get what she wanted. We had changed our look twice just to go out, how could we possibly have anything to do with a stranger? Besides, this girl was very reckless, and Zhang Biluo didn't even use a pseudonym.

Would like to talk to her.

"You and I are just passers-by, just meeting each other by chance. There is no need to leave our names."

Gu Zisun was so angry that he stamped his feet: "But I already said my name!"

Zhang Biluo raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry about it, I've already forgotten it."

"You big ice cube, say goodbye!" Gu Zisun turned around and left.

"Wait!" This time it was Zhang Biluo's turn to widen his eyes, "What did you just say?"

"You big ice cube! Big ice cube!"

Oh my God! This title seems familiar! Zhang Biluo asked loudly: "What is your name?"

The girl also knows how to fight back, "You don't need to ask for your name when you meet someone by chance!"

"You just told me."

"Didn't you forget everything?"

Zhang Biluo held up his forehead. He thought this child was a bit stupid before, but now he saw that he was not very stupid.

Baofu, please hold your forehead. Are you two talking about cross talk? We are all women disguised as men, no one should look down on the other!

Zhang Biluo pointed to the opposite side and said, "Sit down."

The girl asked weakly, "What are you doing?"

"Hurry up, I have something to ask you."

The girl sat down, frowned and said, "Are you just going to drink tea? Here are two dishes, I'm hungry."

Zhang Biluo winked at Baofu, who called the waiter and ordered four dishes. The girl sat there, a little scared.

Zhang Biluo said: "Your name is Gu Zisun, you have two brothers, your father is your right minister Gu Zhao, am I right?"

Gu Zisun's eyes were as wide as bells again: "You, how do you know?"
