It's a June day, and it's annoyingly hot.

Yuxi came out of the school, returned to the Rose Courtyard, took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on her forehead, and muttered, "Why is it so hot?" She didn't think it was so hot in summer before! It's only June now, and it's not the hottest time.

Mo Ju brought a bowl of iced sour plum soup: "Girl, drink a bowl, it will be cool when you drink it." ”

Yuxi drank a bowl of sour plum soup and felt a lot more comfortable: "Fortunately, I don't have to come back at noon, otherwise I would have to die of heat." "The weather was too hot, so Mr. Song asked Yuchen and Yuxi to stay in Yulan Garden at noon.

Mo Tao used Bai Juan to embroider a peacock fan to fan Yuxi, and said: "It hasn't rained for half a month, and the weather is naturally hot." If it rains, it's cool. ”

Mo Ju said quickly: "Since the incident in the border city came out, it hasn't rained anymore. Now people outside are saying that this is God's punishment. ”

Yuxi felt that this was nonsense: "God wants to punish and should punish the Song family, how can he toss the people! I don't know who spread such vicious rumors." ”

With the death of General Yunlao, the courtiers asked the emperor to re-examine the Tongcheng Incident. It's a pity that the emperor agreed to the trial of the three divisions, and as soon as the holy decree was issued, Yan Laosan committed suicide in the heavenly prison. As soon as Yan Laosan died, the matter came to an impasse. However, because of General Yun's trouble, the people of the Yan family were not implicated because of Yan Laosan, and the queen and the prince were also stable for the time being. In the capital, the usual calm was restored to his face.

Yuxi didn't care about things before, but he still knew about such a big thing as the deposed prince. According to memory, the crown prince was also deposed a few years later.

Just thinking about something, the maid said that Fang's mother was here.

Fang's mother came over this time because she had something to discuss with Yuxi: "Girl, there is a shop on Shangyuan Street that sells pù. I have inquired privately, and the pù of that shop is about 4,000 taels. It was also Fang's mother who knew that Yuxi wanted to buy a property, so she felt that this was an opportunity.

Yuxi frowned and asked, "The annual rent of the bun shop is three hundred taels, and this shop is only four thousand taels, isn't it inappropriate?" Yuxi felt that this shop was a little cheap, and he was afraid that there would be fraud in it.

Fang's mother hurriedly said: "Girl, that shop doesn't have a backyard, so it sells for four thousand taels." If the girl wants to buy it, the price can be pushed down. ”

Hearing this, Yuxi also nodded: "I'll tell the eldest aunt, let the housekeeper go and have a look, if the store is really good, then buy it." ”

Fang's mother said her plan: "Girl, if this store is bought, we don't have to rent it out, we can directly use it to sell groceries, and we will definitely be able to make money at that time." ”

Yuxi asked strangely, "Can you make money selling groceries?"

Fang's mother now has an experience: "The girl doesn't know, things like mung bean cakes, candies and other things are very popular on Shangyuan Street." The girl didn't know that the things sold in the shops on Shangyuan Street didn't taste very good, but the business was very good. If we sell it ourselves, we won't have to worry about having no sales at that time. ”

Yuxi shook his head and vetoed without thinking about it: "No, Mom, you have worked hard enough to be busy with the bun shop, and if you open one more shop, your body will definitely not be able to stand it." ”

Fang's mother smiled: "I'm going to buy two more people, and I'll teach them to do it when the time comes." The shop is not far from the steamed bun shop, and you can make pastries or something at the steamed bun shop. "The steamed bun shop has no business at noon and in the afternoon, and if you want to make things like pastries and sweets, you won't do business at noon and in the afternoon.

Yuxi didn't know how to do general affairs before, but now he is studying hard. But even if she has learned some now, Fang's mother, who has been honing outside for a year, is much better than her: "Mom thinks it's okay, then give it a try." But I can't be tired of myself, otherwise I won't be able to open both stores. ”

Fang's mother said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, I won't be tired of myself." I'm going to watch girls grow up. "If you get married, you will simply omit it.

You have to buy a store early, and if you are late, someone else will buy it. After sending Fang's mother away, Yuxi went to the main courtyard to find Qiu's and said that he wanted to buy a shop.

Qiu Shi was taken aback: "It costs a lot of money to buy a shop, where did you get so much money?"

Yuxi was ready to say: "When my mother passed away, she left me a little money, and only Mother Fang knew about it." In the past, Fang's mother felt that this was my mother's dowry for me, so she was ready to sue me again in a few years. Now Fang's mother runs a bun shop outside, and she thinks about things differently than before, and feels that this money is also dead money under the box, and it is better to buy a property, so that there is an interest every year and there is a lot of life at hand. Although everyone knows that her mother took the dowry to her mother's family, it is not clear to outsiders whether it is really not left to her at all. Now that she said that her mother kept the money, most people would still believe it.

Qiu's was a little surprised, she thought that Ning's didn't leave a penny of silver for Yuxi: "How much silver did your mother leave for you? Buy a shop pù, even if it is in Shangyuan Street, a shop pù will cost three or four thousand taels." "Although Shangyuan Street is not as good as the East and West Streets, the location of Shangyuan Street is also good, and the people living around have two living dollars in hand, and the business of opening a shop there is also very good. So the shops over there are not cheap.

Yuxi said: "Ten thousand taels." ”

Qiu Shi was shocked, there were so many? She remembered that Ning's dowry was only more than 20,000 taels, and she would leave 10,000 taels for Yuxi. It is said that the Ning family used up the dowry, and it seems that the rumors are not credible: "Are you sure?"

Yuxi handed the silver ticket in his sleeve to Qiu and said, "This is a silver ticket. Yuxi specially demanded that the other party's silver ticket must have been issued six years ago.

Qiu Shi took the silver ticket and looked at it, she handled a lot of silver tickets, and she knew if it was true or fake when she held it in her hand: "This silver ticket is real." After finishing speaking, he asked, "Yuxi, are you really going to buy it on Shangyuan Street?" "The rent of the shop on Shangyuan Street is 300 taels a year, which is already very high.

Yuxi said Fang's mother's plan: "I think Fang's mother's method is feasible. Fang's mother said it rightly, Yuxi felt that opening a grocery store would definitely be more profitable than renting.

Qiu Shi listened to it and measured it in his heart, and said that he understood: "In this way, I will ask the steward to inquire, if it is really as Fang's mother said, we can buy this shop." After a pause, Qiu Shi said again: "Yuxi, the fake shop pù can be taken down for more than three thousand taels, what are you going to do with the remaining six thousand taels?"

Yuxi looked at the silver ticket in his hand and asked, "Auntie, I still want to buy some property." "She saw a lot of money in her hands, but in fact, it was not enough to buy a shop on the east and west streets, and the shops in that place were all bottomed. And Yuchen's two shops on West Street and East Street only have an annual rent of more than 4,000 taels.

Considering the actual situation of Yuxi, Qiushi built yì Yuxi to buy land: "I mean it is better to buy land, and the land will be harvested in drought and flood." ”

Yuxi is also more inclined to buy land property, although the income of land property is not high, but it is safe, and there are it every year. If you open a grocery store at that time, the things on the Zhuangzi will also be sold. Thinking of this, Yuxi had a flash of inspiration and said, "Auntie, if you want to buy land, I think it's best to have mountains and forests." When the time came, they planted fruit trees on the mountain, made preserved fruits, and sold them at grocery stores. ”

Qiu Shi is not optimistic about Yuxi's idea, but the price of mountain forests is not expensive, and there is no problem in buying one or two mountain forests: "If you want to bring the fields of mountain forests, the location may be relatively remote." "There must be no more near the capital, and if there is, it will be occupied by others.

The field is not as good as the shop, and it doesn't matter if the location is a little off. Yuxi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

If Yuxi wants to buy such a big thing, he will definitely not be able to hide it from the old lady. The Qiu clan simply took Yuxi to meet the old lady and told him about it.

When the old lady heard that Ning had left 10,000 taels of silver, her expression moved slightly. But no one could see her strangeness: "When did you know about the silver?"

Yuxi said: "I only found out today. ”

The old lady's questions were all on point: "Why didn't Mother Fang say it before?"

Ok-hee repeated what he had said to the Cho clan.

The old lady couldn't find any flaws in it. Because she didn't want her to take out the money to buy an estate for Yuxi, the old lady naturally had no opinion: "Since you have this success with the fourth girl, the eldest daughter-in-law, you can help her see where there is land to buy." "The things that Yuxi has on hand will have to be regarded as a dowry in the future, the more things, the richer the dowry will be in the future, and the name of the Guogong Mansion will be good.

Everyone went out, and the old lady put down the Buddha beads in her hand and said to Mother Luo beside her: "Go and ask Mrs. Shen, has the fourth girl been abnormally lately?"

Mother Luo's heart sank: "The old lady thinks that this money was not left by the Ning family to the fourth girl?"

The old lady said with certainty: "The total amount of Ning's dowry is only more than 20,000 taels, at that time, the Ning family was in urgent need of silver, and the price of Ning's field shop was not high, even if she left silver money for the four girls, it would be very good to leave three or four thousand taels, how could she leave such a large amount of money." The old lady didn't suspect that the money was earned by Yuxi. It's just that Yuxi opened a bun shop as jewelry at the beginning, so she suspects that the money is also deserved by Yuxi as jewelry.

Luo's mother felt that the silver was left by the Ning family: "Old lady, 10,000 taels of silver is not a decimal number, if this silver is obtained by the girl as jewelry, the jewelry must not be gone." It's impossible for Shen's mother not to know about such a big thing. "When she was so old, Shen's mother knew that she would definitely come over to sue her as soon as possible.

The old lady also had this concern, so she didn't say anything at the time: "Go and ask." ”

Luo's mother went out and came back not long after: "Old lady, Mrs. Shen said that the jewelry registered in the register is all intact and locked in the box. ”

The old lady turned the Buddha beads again and asked, "What's wrong with the four girls recently?"

Mother Luo shook her head and said, "During this time, the four girls often said that they felt tired, but there was nothing abnormal about them. "Exhaustion is due to overwork, which is not abnormal.

The old lady was puzzled: "Could it be that it was really left by the Ning family." No matter how shrewd the old lady was, she couldn't have thought that this money was earned by Yuxi.

Luo's mother said: "Old lady, the Ning family is also a mother, it is impossible not to leave a little money for her children. I think this money should have been left by the Ning family. "First, it is impossible for everyone to think that this money was earned by Yuxi, and secondly, the excuse that Yuxi made is reasonable.

The old lady thought that Ning would rather give this money to an old mother than let her keep it, which was tantamount to saying that Ning believed in an old mother and didn't believe her, which made the old lady feel uncomfortable How much she liked Yuxi's mother-in-law Jiang, how much she hated Ning. But the man is dead, and there's no point in pursuing it.
