Liu Tangxi's original idea was to contact the seller, pick the fruit, and sell it for money.
However, Manager Zhang raised a question, "We already have a shop selling fruit in Houfu, why should we give benefits to others?"
After hearing this, Liu Tangxi was startled.
Yes, she is no longer the pauper she used to be, the powerful and wealthy parents in the family.
Turning back, Liu Tangxi went to ask the scale of Yin's family shop.
"The Hou mansion does have one, but this village is already yours, so you don't need to go to the shops in our mansion to sell it. There are more than ten shops in your dowry list. If you want to sell fruit, you can change it directly. Yes, why so much trouble."
Hearing these words, Liu Tangxi deeply felt his insignificance and poverty.
Yes, so many shops are hers, why can't she do it
It's just that those shops were still selling things, so it wouldn't be good for her to change it directly to a fruit shop.
Liu Tangxi expressed his concerns.
"Mother, the shops should all be doing business now, right? If the daughter changes because of this, wouldn't it be bad."
Hearing what her daughter said, Yin shi smiled.
"Just change it, and those shops don't make much money. Even a jewelry shop can earn thousands of taels each year, and the spice and tea shops have seven or eight hundred taels each. Others, such as wine shops and dried fruit shops, Those five or six shops add up to about 1,000 taels a year. If it weren't for my own shop, the rent wouldn't be enough."
Although Liu Tangxi didn't understand these things about making money and doing business, just listening to Yin's words made him feel very unreasonable and painful.
Since the rent is not enough, rent it out and earn rent.
Thinking of this, Liu Tangxi couldn't help but ask, "Then why don't you rent it out?"
Hearing this, Yin shi glanced at Shao Mama, and both of them laughed.
Then, Mrs Yin said casually, "It's just an extra thousand taels of silver every year, and it's not bad. Why is it so troublesome? We don't have to make others laugh at our house being too poor and need to rent a shop. Or we are not good at business."
Mammy Shao also said, "Isn't that right? Whether it's Madam or our Hou Mansion, it's not worth a little bit of money. If you lose face because of this, that's the last resort."
Liu Tangxi swallowed her saliva, she really didn't understand the life of the rich.
Thinking that a few months ago, she was still worrying about a few pennies, and she really felt that life was full of drama.
However, Yin shi doesn't care, she does.
If you can make more money, why not
In the future, if Liu Yunan becomes the queen and despise them, it is better for them to have enough money in their hands than to be poor.
Yin clapped her daughter's hand, smiled and said to Mammy Shao, "Mother Yun, go and get that box from my house."
"Yes, ma'am." Mammy Shao responded with a smile.
After a while, Mammy Shao came out, and then she sent out all the people who were serving in the room.
Yin opened the box and pushed it to Liu Tangxi.
"When I sent Imperial Physician Fan back to Beijing a few days ago, I asked Yunniang to go back to Fuzhong and bring you the house deed, land deed and bank note. I thought about giving it to you in a few days, today It happened to be mentioned, now, you can take it yourself. As for the properties in the Hou's mansion, I will discuss it with your father when I return to the mansion."
On the way back to his small courtyard, Liu Tangxi felt that the box in his hand weighed thousands of pounds.
This is something Yin gave to her daughter, and she must not fail her.
After returning, Liu Tangxi took a closer look at the shop inside.
Since she came to the capital, apart from going out with Wei Hanzhou to eat wontons once, she also went to buy vegetables with Mrs. Chen, and went to the Marquis of Wenchang's mansion alone, but she had never visited other places.
The original owner's memory is also relatively vague, and there are only some relatively high-end liquor stores and clothes shops.
Therefore, when Liu Tangxi looked at the location marked on the shop, it was really difficult to judge.
However, after flipping through the account books and seeing that these shops only earn a few hundred taels a year, Liu Tangxi felt a pain in the flesh.
She is not a person who is obsessed with things, but since she decides to do something, she will understand clearly and try her best to do it well.
Moreover, she hadn't seen Wei Hanzhou for several days, and she also missed him a little.
I don't know what he was busy with recently, and he didn't come to see her.
She was not worried about Wei Hanzhou messing around outside. After all, Wei Hanzhou in the book had no love line at all, like a revenge machine.
But she felt that Wei Hanzhou was very obsessed with reading and work, and he might have forgotten her long ago because of his mighty daily errands.
So, that afternoon, Liu Tangxi made some cakes and returned to the capital in a carriage.
Zhuangzi in the outskirts was very close to the capital, but in about a quarter of an hour, the carriage arrived at the gate of the city.
At this time, Dongsheng asked, "Girl, shall we go to the shop first or to see the uncle?"
"Let's go to the shop first." Liu Tangxi said.
It's not that the shop is more important than Wei Hanzhou, the main reason is that at this time it's just not up to date, and it's still too early for Wei Hanzhou to disperse.
"Okay, then let's go to see the tea shop and the pen and ink shop on Boxue Street first?" Dongsheng asked again.
Liu Tangxi doesn't know where the dozen or so shops are. Although she has shops she wants to see, she plans to read all of them today before making plans.
Therefore, after Dongsheng said it, Liu Tangxi nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Dongsheng drove the carriage towards Bo Xue Street.
The two shops on Boxue Street are in general location, the tea shop is bigger, and the pen and ink shop is not big. It was in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day, and there were twos or threes of customers in the store.
After Liu Tangxi watched it for a while, he didn't say his identity and left in the carriage.
Then, they went to several shops on Yunxia Street.
The residents near Yunxia Street are obviously worse than Boxue Street. There are some old houses nearby, and the clothes of the residents who come and go are also ordinary cotton clothes.
Of course, there are no poor people who can afford a house in the capital.
Although this is the place where the less wealthy people in the capital live, these people are somehow richer than those wealthy families in the county town.
Looking at what Yunxia Street sells, Liu Tangxi understands why this cloth shop has such a poor income.
The cloth here is not ordinary cloth, most of them are silk satin.
It's no wonder that selling the clothes worn by the rich in the heap of the poor can make a good profit.
After reading it, Liu Tangxi was very puzzled, and asked the shopkeeper, "My shopkeeper, why are you selling silk and satin here? Residents nearby may not be able to afford it."
The shopkeeper knew at a glance that Liu Tangxi's identity was not bad, and said respectfully, "Young lady, I don't know, our shop is an old shop that has been open for more than 30 years, and the word of mouth is standing here. There are so many old shoppers. Customers, can't move easily."
Hearing this, Liu Tangxi frowned and glanced at the shopkeeper.
Seeing the complacent face on the shopkeeper's face, she strolled around for a while, turned around and left without speaking.
When the carriage left Yunxia Street, Dongsheng, who was sitting outside, spoke up.
"The girl doesn't know something. I heard it when I was young. Twenty years ago, this Yunxia Street was a relatively prosperous place in the capital. But more than ten years ago, the wealthy businessmen who lived nearby either lost money or lost their families, and went to Beijing to take the exam. The students who lived here also fell off the list one after another, saying that the feng shui here is not good. Therefore, most of the wealthy households have moved out, and the shops have also closed more doors and changed their owners. That’s why it is like this.”
After hearing Dongsheng's explanation, Liu Tangxi understood all kinds of reasons.
Next, they went to other shops.
After looking at five or six shops, Liu Tangxi suddenly found that it seemed that he had never been to a repeating place in his journey, so he couldn't help but glance at Dongsheng.
"Have you been to these shops in the mansion before?" Liu Tangxi asked.
Dongsheng shook his head and said, "Never, but the girl mentioned the locations of these shops before I came here. When I was young in Beijing, I visited these streets and got some impressions when I asked the girl about the prices."
Liu Tangxi nodded and said, "Well, well done."
A smile immediately appeared on Dongsheng's face, a little excited and a little restrained.
"Not to be praised by a girl."
Liu Tangxi thought that although this little servant was illiterate, he was clever.
Moreover, as she walked all the way today, she found that this little servant also knew a few words.
It can be seen that he usually works hard in this area.
The Ading next to Wei Hanzhou is too dull and not suitable for Wei Hanzhou. It is better to give Dongsheng to him so that he can help him with errands.
However, Liu Tangxi just thought about this idea in his heart, and then he has to ask Dongsheng and Wei Hanzhou what they mean.
At the moment, with Dongsheng by her side, it is much more convenient for her to do things.
In the end, Liu Tangxi came to the shops on Xunfang Road mentioned by the Yin family that together had an annual income of less than 1,000 taels.
Looking at these five shops scattered on this street, Liu Tangxi is really hard to understand why the income here is so poor.
It stands to reason that the location here is not bad. Although the residents next to it are not rich and powerful, they are definitely much richer than the residents near the shops on Yunxia Street just now.
There were fewer people coming and going, less cotton clothes and more silk and satin.
After asking about the price, Liu Tangxi understood.
This is just the opposite of Yunxia Street.
Yunxia Street sells expensive things, and here sells cheap things.
Liu Tangxi could see that the Yin family really didn't care about these things, and didn't care about the hundreds of taels of extra income this year, and let these shopkeepers spend their days leisurely here.
After reading all the shops, Liu Tangxi already knew it.
Seeing that the sun was already sloping to the west, and the steaming heat had subsided a little, Liu Tangxi estimated that the time for Wei Hanzhou to dissipate was coming, so he got on the carriage and went to find Wei Hanzhou.
After waiting outside for about a quarter of an hour, Liu Tangxi saw Wei Hanzhou come out.
This was the first time Liu Tangxi saw Wei Hanzhou wearing court clothes during the day.
Looking at his green court dress, Liu Tangxi felt that Wei Hanzhou had a different temperament from before, which made her heart beat unconsciously.
Wei Hanzhou is really good-looking, and he can control any color.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Liu Tangxi hurriedly called out "Xianggong~"
Hearing the familiar voice, Wei Hanzhou looked back.
Liu Tangxi hurriedly got off the carriage and trotted towards Wei Hanzhou.
However, before he arrived, he was stopped by a man in a black suit standing not far away.
Wei Hanzhou bowed and saluted.
Liu Tangxi's steps were a little smaller.
After the man in the black costume said a few words to Wei Hanzhou, he seemed to sense Liu Tangxi's approach from Wei Hanzhou's eyes, and looked back.
When he saw that the person behind him was Liu Tangxi, there was a look of surprise in his eyes, and then he turned into an angry look with obvious disgust. Obviously, want to get angry.
Liu Tangxi naturally saw who that person was.
Even though she hasn't seen this person yet, after all, this is the man the original owner wanted to marry the most, and he is very important in the original owner's memory.
So, she knew his identity at a glance.
Three princes!
That is, the hero of the book.
If it was the original owner, he would probably be overjoyed at this moment.
But as soon as Liu Tangxi saw the third prince, he thought that he suggested Wei Hanzhou to divorce his wife at the palace banquet. At this moment, he felt like he had swallowed a fly and wanted to curse.
However, she held back, after all, the other party was the prince.
Moreover, she also understood the expression on the face of the third prince.
Is this disgusting her, afraid that she will continue to pester him
The three princes also feel a little better about themselves.
Even if she likes cats and dogs, she doesn't like him as a hypocrite.
Their guard dog eggs are much better looking than him.
Thinking like this, Liu Tangxi glanced at Wei Hanzhou who was standing next to the third prince.
However, she saw Wei Hanzhou's gloomy face.
Although Wei Hanzhou is still the same Wei Hanzhou, after getting along for so long, Liu Tangxi can basically tell whether Wei Hanzhou is happy or angry.
This look is clearly very angry.
Liu Tangxi's heart suddenly froze.
The original owner liked the third prince as much as before, and he had the cheek to pursue it, presumably everyone in the capital knew about it.
So, Wei Hanzhou also knows
She suddenly remembered that Wei Hanzhou was a little angry when he heard her mention the third prince.
It seemed that he really knew.
And, it seems to be very concerned about it.
what should she do...
It would be fine if only Wei Hanzhou was alone, but at this moment, there was a third prince standing beside him.
Liu Tangxi's steps were getting smaller and smaller, and he quickly thought about what he dared to do in his mind.
After thinking about it, Liu Tangxi came up with an idea and cheered him up in his heart.
Then, she put on a happy expression and continued to trot towards Wei Hanzhou.
The face of the third prince was as black as the bottom of a pot.
This woman had been pestering him before, destroying his relationship with An An.
Even now, he is shamelessly approaching him.
Obviously she is married.
He didn't expect her to be so lucky and escaped the disaster. He should have witnessed her being sold into a brothel in the first place!
He doesn't mind selling her again at all!
The third prince's long and narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, the fists on both sides were clenched tightly, and his footsteps also retreated to the side.
Looking at the posture, if Liu Tangxi dared to go over, he would give Liu Tangxi a punch.
However, before the third prince's fist could be swung out, he saw Liu Tangxi's speed unabated, drifting past him like a gust of wind, towards Wei Hanzhou who was wearing a green court uniform behind him.
The third prince breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a look of astonishment on his face.
"Xianggong, I haven't seen you for a few days, do you miss me?"
Liu Tangxi held Wei Hanzhou's hand and asked in a loud voice.
After speaking, seeing Wei Hanzhou's face still cold, Liu Tangxi said again, "I miss you so much.",,,
