Chapter 9: Maybe You'll Be Repaid

Aster affectionately took the hands of several aunts and walked back, with an intimate and well-behaved attitude, not like yesterday.

When the aunt heard that it could be cheap, she immediately looked excitedly, "Can it be cheap?" How much does that can cost? ”

After synthesizing Qiu Yan's offer, Aster said with a smile, "Two coins and five taels of silver." ”

"This ......"

The aunt was a little hesitant.

Ji Feifan looked at the movement on the other end, and secretly said in his heart that the autumn paint was like a god.

Song Chunniang really learned from them to discount, but Qiu Yan had other plans.

She took off the basket on her back, and the various ointments prepared by Shen Fengxing were arranged on the stone table one by one, and the colorful and delicate small jars attracted people's attention for a while.

Ji Feifan deliberately said in a high tone, "The reason why my wife wants to restore the original price is because she wants to buy one get one free." ”

"It's almost winter, and my wife said that the cream needs to be combined with other nourishing and beautifying ointments to be more effective, so I took this way to buy one get one free, and take care of the neighbors."

When Sister-in-law Li heard about it, her eyes lit up, and she asked her anxiously, "Your wife wants to send something new again?" ”

"You buy a jar of cream, I will give you a jar of ointment, this is my family's new ointment with different effects, there are whitening, acne, light spots, the cost of this thing is more expensive than cream, the most suitable for winter with cream!"

Ji Feifan stroked Aster's increasingly green face, and said meaningfully, "My wife is the wife of the head of the Lu family, and she is much more noble than the concubines according to her status, and her things are naturally not comparable to others." ”

"Show me, show me!"

The aunts rushed up, with a good marketing strategy, most of the cream in Qiu Yan's hand was gone, and Aster was nothing except standing on the side dumbfounded, and she was so angry that her silver teeth were clenched, and she was even more aggrieved than the previous few times.

Ji Feifan was triumphant and went home with a lot of silver.

Qiu Yan looked at the money spent in his hand and smiled from ear to ear, "Look, isn't this a return to the capital?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Ji Feifan followed alongside, and suddenly, she let out a long sigh, feeling helpless, "It's just that Young Master Shen's medicinal materials are almost used." ”

"In the future, if you sell ointment, you will have to pay an extra penny to buy raw materials, hey." The money is going to be spent before it is hot in your hands.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's going to be a long time coming." Qiu Yan pinched the little nose of the person next to him and smiled indifferently, "In the future, if it is possible to 'sign' the little ladies in the family and let them be responsible for production, our business will be better." ”

The weather is good today, Qiu Yan plans to inspect the Lu family's ancestral house with Lu Chiye, so as to see how many empty rooms are and what is still in the house.

After nightfall, the road was deserted, and after the uncles moved out, the house was almost half empty, and the kerosene lamps on the bluestone brick wall were not lit again, and the cold wind blew people panicked.

Qiu Yan was wearing a thick jacket, holding a lantern to illuminate, Lu Chiye was holding the account book to record, and the two of them took stock of the empty courtyard of the Lu family one by one.

Every time they passed a small courtyard, Lu Chiye pushed the door and entered to record the display and furnishings in the courtyard and how many houses there were in the front and back rooms, and finally pasted a piece of paper on the courtyard door for numbering.

In the past, the Lu family was also a well-known wealthy family, the house was the ancestral property, and there were more than 100 clan relatives.

In Lu Chiye's grandfather's generation, most of them lived in this house, and later separated as adults, died, and entered the Beijing imperial examination, and there are not many people who still live in the Lu family for decades.

This time, Lu Xingjin and the others made a fuss, except for Lu Chiye, who also inherited the house, and the rest moved away.

Qiu Yan sighed as she walked, "Look at these courtyards, there are five or six courtyards in the guest rooms alone, if I can sell them, I still have no money to spend?" ”

Lu Chiye tapped her with a brush and explained with a smile, "I heard that this house was given by the emperor and is an ancestral property, and the Lu family does not have a land deed, even if it is sold, no one dares to buy it." ”

Qiu Yan sneezed loudly in the cold wind, unconsciously shrank into the thick fleece, and whispered, "That's what I said, but this house can't always be empty, you have to find a way to change some silver...... Why don't we rent it out? ”

You must know that in modern times, the most lucrative job is still a charter wife, since she can't sell it, it should always be okay to rent it out, right?

"Who are you going to rent it to?" Lu Chiye finished checking the last yard, and locked the courtyard door with a bang.

Qiu Yan met his gaze, had a momentary distraction, and after sorting out his thoughts, Qiu Yan said excitedly, "Of course it's a foreigner." Have we had any outsiders here lately? ”

Lu Chiye paused, and suddenly said, "Recently, there have been a lot of talents from other places who have come to Beijing to take the exam. ”

"Qingchuan City is the last place to go to Beijing, and it is bitter cold in the north in winter, and most of the Xiucai can't afford to live in the capital, so they have to live in Qingchuan City until the beginning of spring before leaving."

Qiu Yan was overjoyed when she heard this, "There is such a good thing? Let's rent out the yard and rent it to those people from other places, firstly, I will not charge indiscriminately, and secondly, there is a signboard of the Lu family, and they are not afraid of any black-hearted landlords, so they will run away after taking the money. ”

Lu Chiye put away the account book, Qiu Yan thought that he had some scruples, and continued to persuade, "Let's rent it to Xiucai, and I won't take much money for the Xiucai who go to Beijing to catch the exam, so that if they win the move in the future, maybe they will repay me!" ”
