Although Mo Ju has no heart, he is more loyal. She felt that Shen's mother was acting very abnormally, and immediately reported the matter to Yuxi.

Yuxi roughly guessed what Shen's mother was for: "In the future, whatever Shen's mother asks you to do, you will do it, and you will do it if you sue me in private." "Before, Yuxi felt that it was nothing to let Shen's mother be around, but now Yuxi is very disgusted. This kind of life of living under the surveillance of others all the time without a little freedom makes her very uncomfortable. I have to think of a way to get Shen's mother away without offending the old lady.

Xiang has been honed in the steward for many years, and he is very cautious. He got Qiu's order, and he didn't go directly to the shop, but first went to find out what happened to the owner of the shop. This inquiry really inquired about something.

When Yuxi heard that Xiang Steward would talk about the shop for 2,600 taels, he felt incredible: "Can't you?"

Xiang said to the steward: "The girl doesn't know, the owner of this shop pù has offended the people of the yamen, and ordinary people dare not buy his shop. "The powerful people don't look down on the shops in that area, and those who have a little money have their own sources, and those who know that the owner has offended the yamen will definitely not buy them, so as not to be angered.

Yuxi said with some worry: "Who is this shop offended? If the person who offends is not small, this shop will not be wanted." "She doesn't want to cause trouble.

Xiang steward smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, this shop pù bought it is ours, and the other party doesn't dare to think crookedly." Girl, in fact, if this shop didn't have this kind of business, it would be able to buy it for three thousand two three or four hundred taels of silver. We offer this price, which is not low. "Ordinary people don't dare to buy this shop, but it doesn't mean that the government doesn't dare to buy it.

Yuxi was relieved to see this: "It's hard to take care of things." ”

Steward Xiang was a good one: "Fourth girl, I heard that I am going to open a grocery store after buying this shop? ”

The person recommended by Xiang Yang is his brother-in-law, surnamed Meng, who is fifteen years old this year.

Yuxi is not dissatisfied with this age, and the scale of the grocery store she opened is not large, as long as the other party is clever and can manage the shop well: "Since it is recommended to the steward, it must have its advantages." It's just that my grocery store is not big, so I'm afraid of condescending?"

Xiang Steward smiled and said, "He also studied in the silk shop for two years, and he is very immature." It was only when Fang's mother watched me from the side that I dared to open this mouth. ”

Yuxi is naturally willing to give Xiang Guan this face.

When leaving, Yuxi asked Hongshan to give Steward Xiang twenty taels of silver: "Let Steward Xiang be tired in the past two days, and use this money to buy wine and drink." ”

Xiang received the reward from the steward and left the Guogong Mansion, and when he returned home, he told his wife Meng Shi about the matter, and asked her to tell the Yue family about it.

Meng Shi is a little relieved, this grocery store is not big, what can her brother do if she goes out!

Xiang Yang said: "Why are your eyelids so shallow, just staring at the three melons and two dates in front of you." The grocery store is small, but you don't want to think that the fourth girl is studying with Mr. Song now, and the future will be worse? Now that the third brother is following her, will the fourth girl be able to reuse the third brother when she is developed in the future?"

Meng Shi was still a little worried: "The third brother is fifteen years old, this will soon be the age of saying kiss, this is not up or down, what should I do with the family?"

Seeing this, Xiang Yang could only say it thoroughly: "As long as your third brother works hard and enters the eyes of the fourth girl, you don't have to worry about your daughter-in-law's affairs." Seeing Meng Shi's suspicious face, Xiang Yang said: "The fourth girl is smart, but she has a shallow foundation and it is inconvenient to act in the mansion. If the third brother does well, the fourth girl will definitely win him over. You don't remember, the age of the two big girls around the four girls will be married in two years. "If you want to win people's hearts, it is the best way to match the maids around you.

Meng's eyes lit up, but unfortunately she rarely went to the inner courtyard now, and she didn't have much impression of the two maids, Mo Ju and Mo Tao.

Xiang Yang poured cold water on her: "If the third brother can't get into the girl's eyes, everything will be in vain." This means that Meng persuades his brother-in-law to do a good job.

In the evening, Yuxi got the deed. Holding this deed, Yuxi was overjoyed. It's her business, and she's got her own business, which is great.

Speaking of Yuxi's luck, a few days later, the Qiu clan heard that the Lu family of the Marquis of Zhongyong was going to sell a field property, and the field property was connected with a mountain forest, which just met Yuxi's requirements.

Qiu Shi and Yuxi said: "That Zhuangzi is not far from the capital, and it will take about two hours to arrive. I think I can buy it. ”

Yuxi asked suspiciously: "Auntie, why would the people of the Lu family sell such a good industry?"

Since the Qiu family is ready to buy these fields, they must also inquire clearly, and said: "The Lu family has hooked up with the imperial merchant Li family and is ready to do business with the Li family. It is said that the stall is very large and requires a lot of capital, so it is ready to sell some properties to cash out, which is also catching up. ”

Yuxi was not familiar with the market outside, and asked: "What is the background of this Li family?

Qiu said: "The wife of the Li family is the sister-in-law of Song Shangshu Song. "It is equivalent to saying that the backers of the Li family are Song Guifei and the Song family.

Yuxi's heart was a little chilling, the Song family did such an evil thing, and they could still sit and enjoy wealth and prosperity freely. The soldiers and the people who died unjustly all died in vain.

Qiu didn't know what Yuxi thought, and told Yuxi in detail about the situation of the field: "That Zhuangzi has 460 acres of paddy fields, of which there are 230 mu of high-grade paddy fields, 160 mu of medium paddy fields, 70 mu of low-grade paddy fields, and more than 680 mu of mountain forests. ”

Yuxi was immediately pulled back into his thoughts and asked, "How much does it cost?"

Qiu said: "The asking price is eight thousand taels." ”

Yuxi frowned and said, "Auntie, is this price too high?" The value of more than 600 acres of mountain forests is only more than 1,000 taels, so it costs 145 taels for one acre of paddy fields. If it is all high-grade paddy fields, it is cost-effective, but only half of them are high-grade paddy fields, eight thousand taels, which is too expensive.

Qiu Shi said with a smile: "There is a reason why they want this price. They planted a lot of fir trees in that mountain forest a few years ago, and they will be able to sell them for money in a few years. In addition, there are a lot of fruit trees such as red dates and chestnuts planted on the mountain, and it is not too much of a loss. ”

Yuxi still thinks it's expensive. Who knows which fir trees will sell for money, and how many fruit trees such as dates and chestnuts will be planted? There are so many uncertain factors in this.

Qiu Shi was not in a hurry, but said carefully to Yuxi: "Yuxi, these eight thousand taels of silver are included in this season's rice harvest, and one season's rice should be able to sell for four or five hundred taels." In addition, this Zhuangzi is close to the capital, and there are many people who want to buy it, so the price is high. Yuxi, the Zhuangzi is in a good location, so the asking price is relatively high, and if the Lu family is not in a hurry to use the money, they will not be willing to sell. ”

Yuxi pondered in her heart and asked, "Does aunt think it's cost-effective to buy this Zhuangzi?"

Qiu nodded and said: "It's a bit expensive, but this Zhuangzi is close to the capital and close to the river, and eight thousand taels is also worth buying." And if you don't buy it this time, it will be difficult to buy it next time. ”

Yuxi remembered the past, if she had such a place outside the capital, she would not have nowhere to go, and finally burned to death in the wilderness. In case she falls into the same situation as in her previous life, she also has a place to stay, thinking of this, Yuxi immediately said: "Then buy it!"

Qiu Shi thought that Yuxi only had more than 7,000 taels of silver in his hand, which was still a little short, and he was ready to help Yuxi make up the difference......

Yuxi refused when he heard this: "Auntie, I didn't touch the income of the bun shop for a year last year! "In addition, I also received a gift of several hundred taels during the New Year! As for the whole two thousand taels of silver tickets on hand, Yuxi didn't want to move it for the time being, so it was for urgent use.

Qiu Shi was not reluctant, and immediately told Yuxi about another thing: "Don't you want to buy a powerful maid?" The girl was only six years old, but she had a lot of strength. "It's not so easy to find strength, a clean family background, and you can't be old. It took me more than half a year to find it.

Yuxi's eyes lit up suddenly: "Where?"

Qiu Shi smiled and said: "I just entered the mansion today, let her learn the rules in the past few days, and when she learns the rules, she will be sent to your yard." ”

Yuxi knew that this was a normal process, and she didn't want to be special, so she said, "Auntie, when Zhuangzi buys it, I want to find a chance to take a look." "This is her own industry, and if you don't see it, it's always uneasy.

Qiu Shi smiled and said, "That's no problem. You can go when you're on vacation. It's not far away, go early and come back in the evening. "It's normal for your own industry to want to take a look, it's not strange.

Yuxi was looking forward to that day.

Qiu's work efficiency was very high, and Yuxi got the title deed of the land and the mountains and forests on the same day. Yuxi held the title deed and put it together with the deed like a baby pimple. From now on, she is also a person who has land and real estate.

After Mo Ju knew this, she asked with some doubts: "Girl, have you really bought a field?" In the past, Fang's mother often worried about money, but in a blink of an eye, her girl bought a shop and a field, Mo Ju felt that the world had changed too much, and she couldn't keep up with the rhythm!

Yuxi said with a smile: "I now have a shop and a land, and I can buy you a thick dowry in the future." ”

Mo Ju stomped her feet and said shyly: "The girl knows how to make fun of slaves." After saying that, he ran out with a red face.

A cheerful smile appeared on Okhee's face. Mo Ju and Mo Tao didn't marry well before, and in this life, she won't let them repeat the same mistakes.
