The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 52

[Chapter 52 Property Purchase (2)]

Although Mo Ju has no heart, she is more loyal than ever. She felt that Shin’s mother was acting abnormally, and immediately told Oak-hee about it.

Oak-hee roughly guessed what Mother Shen was for: “In the future, you can do whatever Mother Shen asks you to do, just tell me in private.” Before Oak-hee felt that it was okay to have Mother Shen by her side, but now Oak-hee But disgusted. This kind of life without any freedom under the surveillance of others all the time makes her very uncomfortable. I have to think of a way to get Mother Shen away without offending the old lady.

Mr. Xiang has been honed for many years outside, and he acts very cautiously. He got Qiu’s order and didn’t go to the store directly, but first went to find out what happened to the owner of the store. This inquiry, really inquired about something.

When Yuxi heard that Steward Xiang negotiated the store for 2,600 taels, he felt inconceivable: “Can’t you?” For a store of 4,000 taels, Steward Xiang actually negotiated for 2,600 taels? Oak-hee thought this was a little unusual.

Xiang Guan said: “Young lady doesn’t know, the owner of this shop offends the people in the yamen, and most people dare not buy his shop.” Powerful people don’t look down on the shops in the area, and there are people with a little money. According to his own sources, people who know that the owner has offended the yamen will definitely not buy it, so as not to be angered.

Oak Xi said worriedly, “Who is this shop offending? If the offending person is not small, the shop will not be needed.” She didn’t want to cause trouble.

Xiang Guanshi smiled and said: “It’s not a big deal, this store is ours when we bought it, and the other party doesn’t dare to think about it. Girl, in fact, if this store doesn’t have such a problem, it can be bought for three thousand two, three or four hundred taels of silver. Yes. The price we offered is not too low.” Most people dare not buy this store, but that doesn’t mean the government does not dare to buy it.

Oak Xi felt relieved, “Thank you for your hard work.”

But the steward Xiang has a plan: “Four girls, I heard that I bought this store and plan to open a grocery store? If the girl doesn’t have a suitable person, I have one here.”

The person Xiang Yang recommended was his wife and brother, surnamed Meng, who was fifteen years old this year.

Oak Xi is not dissatisfied with this age, and the scale of the grocery store she runs is not large, as long as the other party can manage the store smartly: “Since it is recommended to the steward, there must be something special about it. It’s just me. The grocery store is not big, so you are afraid of losing talent?”

Xiang Guanshi smiled and said, “He also studied in the silk and satin shop for two years, and he is very immature. It was only when Fang’s mother was watching me that he dared to say this.”

Oak Xi was naturally willing to give steward Xiang this face.

When he left, Yuxi asked Hongshan to give Manager Xiang twenty taels of silver: “I have made Manager Xiang tired for the past two days, so I will use this money to buy wine.”

After receiving the reward from the steward, he left the Guogong Mansion. When he got home, he told his wife Meng Shi, and asked her to tell the Yue family about it.

Meng Shi was a little uneasy, this grocery store is not big, what kind of tricks can her brother make!

Xiang Yang said: “Why are your eyelids so shallow, you are staring at the three melons and two dates in front of you. The grocery store is small, but you don’t think that the four girls are studying with Mr. Song now, and the future will be worse? The younger brother follows her, in the future when the fourth girl develops, can you not reuse the third younger brother?” He can manage the silk and satin shop now, in addition to his own ability, the most important thing is that his mother is the wife’s confidant, otherwise it is impossible to have the ability. he.

Meng Shi was still a little worried: “The third brother is fifteen years old, and it will soon be the age to talk about marriage. It’s not too high or too low. What should I do with the marriage?” If you keep guarding the grocery store, it will be a delay.

Seeing this, Xiang Yang could only speak clearly: “As long as your third brother works hard and is in the eyes of the fourth girl, you don’t have to worry about the daughter-in-law.” Seeing Meng Shi’s face, Xiang Yang said, “The fourth girl is smart, but she The foundation is shallow, and it is inconvenient to do things in the mansion. If the third brother does a good job, the fourth girl will definitely win him over. You don’t remember, the two close-fitting maids around the fourth girl will be the age of marriage in two years. “If you want to win people’s hearts, it is the best way to marry the maid by your side.

Meng Shi’s eyes lit up, but unfortunately she seldom goes to the inner courtyard now, and has no impression of Mo Ju and Mo Tao, the two maids.

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 meant that Mrs. Meng persuaded his brother-in-law to work hard.

Oak-hee got the deed in the evening. Holding the deed, Oak-hee was overjoyed. This is her industry, and she also has her own industry, which is great.

Speaking of which, Yuxi was lucky. A few days later, the Qiu family found out that the Lu family of the Marquis of Zhongyong was planning to sell a property. The property was accompanied by a mountain forest, which just met Yuxi’s requirements.

Qiu Shi and Yu Xi said, “That Zhuangzi is not far from the capital, and it takes about two hours to get there. I think it can be bought.”

Yuxi asked suspiciously, “Auntie, why would the Lu family sell such a good property?” Land property is something that can be passed on to future generations, and most people won’t sell it.

Since Qiu’s family is going to buy these fields, he must have inquired clearly, and said: “The Lu family has hooked up with the royal merchant Li family, and plans to do business with the Li family. It is said that the stall is very large and requires a lot of capital. So I’m going to sell some industries to cash out, which is also catching up.”

Yuxi was unfamiliar with the market outside, and asked, “What’s the background of this Li family? They let the Lu family sell their fields and land?” industry.

Qiu said: “The wife of the Li family is Song Shangshu Song’s concubine sister.” It means that the backers of the Li family are Concubine Song and the Song family.

Yuxi felt a chill in her heart. After the Song family did such evil things, they were still able to sit back and enjoy wealth and honor. Those soldiers and people who were wrongly killed died in vain.

Qiu Shi didn’t know what Yuxi was thinking, and told Yuxi about the situation of the land in detail: “That Zhuangzi has 460 acres of paddy fields, of which there are 230 acres of high-quality paddy fields and 160 acres of medium-sized paddy fields. , 70 acres of inferior paddy fields, and more than 680 acres of mountain forests.”

Oak Xi was immediately pulled back to his mind and asked, “How much is the asking price?”

Qiu said, “The asking price is eight thousand taels.”

Yu Xi frowned and said, “Auntie, isn’t this price too high?” The value of more than 600 acres of mountain forest is only more than 1,000 taels, so one acre of paddy fields costs 145 taels. It would be worthwhile if all of them were top-grade paddy fields, but only half of them were top-grade paddy fields, 8,000 taels, which was too expensive.

Qiu said with a smile: “There is a reason why they want this price. They planted a lot of fir trees in the mountain forest a few years ago, and they will be able to sell for money in a few years. In addition, there are also a lot of red dates and There are many fruit trees such as chestnut, and it is not too bad.”

Oak-hee still thought it was expensive. Who knows which fir trees can sell for how much and when, and how many fruit trees such as red dates and chestnuts have been planted? There are too many uncertainties here.

Qiu Shi was not in a hurry, but said to Yu Xi in detail: “Yu Xi, these eight thousand taels of silver include this season’s rice harvest, and one season’s rice should be sold for four or five hundred taels. The capital is near, 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, if the Lu family is not in a hurry, they will not be willing to sell it.”

Oak Xi thought about it and asked, “Does Auntie think it’s worth buying this village?”

Qiu Shi nodded and said, “It’s a bit expensive, but this village is close to the capital and near the river. Eight thousand taels are also worth buying. And if you don’t buy it this time, it will be difficult to buy something that you like next time. ”

Yuxi remembered the past, if she had such a village outside the capital, she would not have nowhere to go and end up being burned to death in the wilderness. In case she falls into the same situation 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, which was still a little short, and planned to help Yuxi to make up the difference. .

Yuxi refused as soon as he heard it: “Auntie, I didn’t change the annual income of Baozipu last year! I can make up 8,000 taels.” In addition, they received hundreds of taels as gifts during the New Year! As for the 2,000 taels of silver notes still on hand, Yuxi didn’t want to move it for the time being, it was for urgent use.

Qiu Shi didn’t force it, and immediately told Yuxi about another thing: “Don’t you want to buy a powerful maid? I’ve already found it for you. The maid is only six years old, but she has a lot of strength.” It’s not that easy to find someone who has the strength, a clean family background, and who can’t be old. After searching for more than half a year, I found it.

Yuxi’s eyes lit up at once: “Where?”

Qiu Shi smiled and said, “I just entered the manor today. Let her learn the rules first, and then I’ll send her to your yard when she learns the rules.”

Oak Xi knew that this was a normal process, and she didn’t want to do anything special. She said, “Auntie, when Zhuangzi buys it, I’d like to find an opportunity to see it.” This is an industry that belongs to her alone. Is not at ease.

Qiu said with a smile: “It’s no problem. You can go when you are on vacation. It’s not too far from there, go early and you’ll be back in the evening.” It’s normal for your own industry to want to take a look, nothing strange. .

Oak-hee was looking forward to that day.

Qiu’s work efficiency is very high, and Oak Xi got the title deeds for the land and the forest that day. Oak-hee held the title deed and placed it with the house deed like a baby bump. From now on, she is also a person with land and real estate.

After Mo Ju found out about this, she asked with some doubts, “Girl, have you really bought property?” In the past, Fang’s mother was often worried about money, but in a blink of an eye her girl bought both shops and property. Mo Ju felt that this world The change is too big, she can’t keep up with the rhythm!

Yuxi smiled and said, “I now have a shop and land, and I can buy you a generous dowry in the future.”

Mo Ju stomped her feet, and shyly said she understood: “Young lady knows how to tease slaves.” After speaking, she blushed and ran out.

A cheerful smile appeared on Ok-hee’s face. In the past, Mo Ju and Mo Tao didn’t marry well. In this life, she will not let them repeat the same mistakes.
