The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 51

[Chapter 51 Property Purchase (1)]

It’s terribly hot in June.

Oak Xi came out of the academy and returned to the Rose Garden. She took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on her forehead. She muttered, “Why is it so hot?” She had never felt so hot in summer before! It’s only June, and it’s not the hottest time yet.

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

After Yuxi finished drinking a bowl of sour plum soup, she felt a lot more at ease: “Fortunately, I don’t have to come back at noon, otherwise I’d have to die from the heat.” The weather was too hot, so Mr. Song let Yuchen and Yuxi stay at Yulan Garden at noon.

Mo Tao fanned Yuxi with a fan of peacocks embroidered by Bai Juan, and said, “It hasn’t rained for half a month, and the weather is naturally hot. If it rains, it will be cool.”

Mo Ju said quickly, “It hasn’t rained since the Biancheng incident. Now people outside are saying that this is God’s punishment.”

Oak Xi thought this was nonsense: “God wants to punish the Song family, how can they torment the people! I don’t know who spread such a vicious rumor.”

With the death of General Yun, the courtiers asked the emperor to re-examine the Tongcheng Incident. It is a pity that the emperor agreed to the tribunal of the three divisions. As soon as the imperial decree was issued, the third son of Yan committed suicide in the sky prison. As soon as Yan Laosan died, there was a deadlock. However, because of the trouble of General Yun, the Yan family was not implicated because of the third Yan, and the queen and the prince were temporarily stable. In the capital, the face returned to its usual calm.

Oak-hee didn’t care about things before, but he still knew about big things like the crown prince being abolished. According to memory, the prince was also abolished after a few years.

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

When Mama Fang came here this time, she wanted to discuss something with Oak Xi: “Girl, there is a shop on Shangyuan Street that sells it. I inquired about it privately, and the shop is about 4,000 taels.” It was also Mama Fang who knew about Oak Xi. She wanted to buy a property, so she saw this as an opportunity.

Yu Xi frowned and asked, “The annual rent for Baozipu is 300 taels, and this shop is only 4,000 taels, isn’t it inappropriate?” Yu Xi felt that the shop was a bit cheap, and was afraid of fraud.

Fang’s mother hurriedly said, “Girl, that shop doesn’t have a backyard, so it only sells 4,000 taels. If the girl wants to buy it, the price can be lowered.”

After hearing this, Yuxi also nodded: “I’ll tell my auntie to ask the housekeeper to take a look. If the store is really good, then buy it.”

Fang’s mother explained her plan: “Girl, if we buy this store, we don’t have to rent it out and use it directly to sell groceries, and we will definitely make money by then.”

Oak-hee asked curiously, “Can you make money selling groceries?”

Fang’s mother now has the experience: “The girl doesn’t know that things like mung bean cake, candy and so on are very popular in Shangyuan Street. The girl doesn’t know that the shops in Shangyuan Street sell these things that don’t taste very good. It’s the same, but the business is very good. If we sell it ourselves, we won’t worry about no sales at that time.”

Yuxi shook her head and vetoed without thinking, “No, Mom, you’ve worked hard enough on the bun shop. If you open another shop, your body will definitely not be able to bear it.”

Fang’s mother smiled and said: “I’m going to buy two more people, and I’ll teach them how to do it. The shop is not far from the bun shop, and the pastry can be made in the bun shop.” The bun shop has no business at noon or in the afternoon. , If you want to do things like cakes and candies, you will not do business at noon or afternoon.

Oak-hee didn’t do general affairs before, but now she’s studying hard. But even if she has learned a bit now, Fang’s mother, who has been practicing outside for a year, is much better than her: “Mom thinks it’s okay, then give it a try. But you can’t tire yourself, or I won’t open both stores. already.”

Fang’s mother said with a smile: “Don’t worry, girl, I won’t tire myself. I also want to watch the girl grow up.” The words of marriage were simply omitted.

Buying a store has to be early, if it is late, someone else will buy it. After seeing Fang’s mother away, Yuxi went to the main courtyard to look for Qiu’s family, and said that she 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?”

Oak-hee was ready to speak: “My mother left me a little money when she passed away, and only Mama Fang knows about it. Mama Fang thought it was a dowry left by my mother, so she was going to wait a few years. Tell me. Now that Fang’s mother runs a steamed bun shop outside, her thinking is different from before. She thinks that this money is dead money under the box, and it is better to buy a property, so that you can earn interest every year and have a lot of money at hand.” Although everyone Knowing that her mother took the dowry to pay for her family, but whether it was really not left to her at all, it is unclear to outsiders. Now that she said that her mother kept the money, most people would still believe it.

Qiu Shi was a little surprised, she thought that Ning Shi did not leave any money for Yuxi: “How much money did your mother leave you? To buy a shop, even on Shangyuan Street, a shop would 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 money on hand, and the business of opening a shop there is also very good. So the shops over there are not cheap.

Oakhee said, “Ten thousand taels.”

Qiu Shi was taken aback, how could there be so many? She remembered that Ning’s dowry was only in the early 20,000 taels, and she would leave 10,000 taels for Yuxi. It is said that Ning’s dowry was used up, and it seems that the rumors are not credible: “Are you sure?”

Oak Xi handed the silver note in his sleeve to Qiu’s and said, “This is a silver note.” Oak Xi specifically asked the other party that the silver note must have been issued six years ago.

Qiu took the bank note and looked at it. She had a lot of bank notes in her hands, and she knew if it was true or false when she held it in her hand: “This bank note is real.” After speaking, she asked, “Yu Xi, are you really prepared? Do you want to buy it on Shangyuan Street? If you buy a shop on Shangyuan Street, the rent will not be much when rented out.” The annual rent of a shop on Shangyuan Street is 300 taels, which is considered very high.

Oak-hee explained Mother Fang’s plan: “I think Mother Fang’s method is feasible.” Mother Fang was right, and Oak-hee felt that opening a grocery store would definitely make more money than renting it out.

After hearing this, Qiu Shi weighed it in his heart, and understood: “In this way, I will ask the steward to inquire. If it is true as Fang’s mother said, we can buy this store.” After a pause, Qiu Shi said again: ” Yuxi, that fake shop can be taken down for about 3,000 taels, what do you plan to do with the remaining 6,000 taels?”

Oak Xi looked at the silver note in her hand and asked, “Auntie, I still want to buy some property. What kind of property did Auntie say to buy?” One pavement is not enough, and all the pavements in that place are primed. And Yuchen’s two shops on West Street and East Street are only renting more than 4,000 taels per year.

Considering Yuxi’s actual situation, Qiu’s suggested Yuxi to buy farm products: “I mean, it’s best to buy farm products, so that the crops can be harvested during drought and flood.”

Oak-hee also tends to buy land. Although the income from land is not high, it is safe and secure, and it is available every year. If the time comes to open a grocery store, the things on Zhuangzi will also be sold. Thinking of this, Yu Xi had a flash of inspiration and said, “Auntie, if you buy land, I think it’s best to have a mountain forest. When that time comes, you will plant fruit trees on the mountain, make preserved fruits, and sell them at grocery stores.”

Qiu was 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 mountains and forests, the location may be relatively remote.” There must be no near the capital. If there is, it will be taken by others.

Real estate is not as good as a store, and it doesn’t matter if the location is a little bit biased. Yuxi nodded and said, “Yes.”

Oak-hee was going to buy such a big thing, and she would definitely not be able to hide it from the old lady. Qiu’s simply brought Yuxi to see the old lady and told the matter.

The old lady’s expression moved slightly when she heard that Ning’s left 10,000 taels of silver. But no one could see her strangeness: “When did you know about Yinzi?”

Oak-hee said, “I just found out today.”

The questions asked by the old lady were all on point: “Why didn’t Mother Fang say it before? Only now?”

Oak-hee repeated what he had told Qiu-shi.

The old lady couldn’t find any flaws in it either. Because she didn’t want her to take out the money to buy property for Yuxi, the old lady naturally had no objection: “Since you have this calculation, the eldest daughter-in-law, help her to find out where there is land to buy.” What Yuxi had on hand In the future, it must be regarded as a dowry. The more things there are, the richer the dowry will be in the future, and the name of the government will be good.

After everyone went out, the old lady put down the beads in her hand and said to Mother Luo, “Go and ask Mrs. Shen, has there been anything unusual about the fourth girl recently?”

Luo’s mother froze in her heart: “The old lady thinks that the Ning family didn’t leave this money to the fourth girl?”

The old lady said with certainty: “The total dowry of Ning’s family is only more than 20,000 taels. At that time, the Ning family was in urgent need of money, and the price of Ning’s property shop was not high. Three or four thousand taels would be very good, how could it be possible to keep such a large amount of money.” The old lady had no doubt that the money was earned by Oak Xi. It’s just that Oak-hee had opened a bun shop and used it as jewelry, so she suspected that the money was also due to Oak-hee as her jewelry.

But Mama Luo felt that the silver was left by the Ning family: “Old Madam, ten thousand taels of silver is not a small number. If this silver was obtained by a girl as jewelry, then the jewelry should not be all used up. For such a big thing, Mama Shen It’s impossible not to know.” When she was so old, Shen’s mother knew, and she would definitely come to tell her at the first time.

The old lady also had this concern, so she didn’t say anything at that time: “Go and ask.”

Luo’s mother went out and came back not long after: “Old Madam, Mrs. Shen said that the jewelry registered in the register are all locked in the box intact.”

The old lady turned the Buddha beads again and asked, “What’s wrong with the four girls recently?”

Luo’s mother shook her head and said, “During this period of time, the fourth girl has nothing abnormal except that she often said that she feels tired.” The tiredness is because of excessive exertion, which is not abnormal.

The old lady was puzzled: “Could it be that the Ning’s really stayed.” No matter how shrewd the old lady was, she would never have thought that Yuxi earned the money.

Luo’s mother said, “Old Madam, Ning’s family is also a mother, and it is impossible not to leave some money for her children. I think this money should be left by Ning’s family.” Earned, and secondly, the excuse that Oak-hee made was reasonable and reasonable.

The old lady thought that Ning would rather give the money to an old mother than let her keep it, which means that Ning believed an old mother and did not believe her, which made the old lady feel uncomfortable how much she liked it. Yuxi’s mother, Jiang, hated Ning so much. But people are already dead, and there is no point in pursuing them.
