The Rebirth of Han Yuxi

Chapter 48: Buying a property 1

Views:

The June day is very hot.

Yuxi came out of the school and returned to the Rose House. He took a veil and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and muttered, "Why is it so hot?" She didn't think it was 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: "The girl will drink a bowl and it will be cooler."

After Yuxi finished a bowl of sour plum soup, he was relieved a lot: "Fortunately, I don't have to come back at noon, or it must be too hot." The weather was too hot, and Mr. Song let Yuchen and Yuxi stay in Yulan Garden at noon.

Mo Tao fanned Yuxi with Bai Juan's embroidered peacock ball fan, and said: "It hasn't rained for half a month. The weather is naturally sultry. If it rains, it will be cooler."

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

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

With the death of General Yun, courtiers asked the emperor to reconsider the Tongcheng Incident. It is a pity that the emperor agreed to the trial of the three divisions. As soon as the death of Elder Yan was deadlocked. But also because of General Yun's trouble, the Yan family didn't get involved because of Yan Lao San, and the queen and the prince were also temporarily stable. In the capital, the usual calm was restored on the face.

Yuxi didn't care about things before, but he knew about major events like the abolition of the prince. According to memory, the prince was abolished only a few years later.

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

Mother Fang came over this time, there is something to discuss with Yuxi: "Girl, there is a shop on Shangyuan Street. I have inquired about it in private, and the store is about four thousand taels." It was also Mother Fang who knew Yuxi. Want to buy a property, so she thinks this is an opportunity.

Yuxi frowned and asked, "The bun shop costs three hundred taels a year, and this shop only costs four thousand taels. Isn't it appropriate?" Yuxi felt that this shop was a bit cheap, and was afraid of fraud.

Mother Fang said hurriedly: "Girl, that shop does not have a backyard, so it only sells for four thousand taels. If a girl wants to buy it, the price can still be lowered in the past."

Hearing this, Yuxi also nodded: "I will tell my elder mother, let Xiang Butler go and see, if the shop is really good, then buy it."

Fang's mother said about her plan: "Girl, if we buy this shop, we don't need to rent it out. We can use it directly to sell groceries. We will definitely make money by then."

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

Fang’s mother has something to learn now: “The girl doesn’t know that things like mung bean cakes and candies are very popular in Shangyuan Street. The girl doesn’t know that the shops on Shangyuan Street don’t taste very good. Yes, 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 it without thinking about it: "No, Mom, you have been working hard enough for the bun shop. If you open one more shop, your body will definitely not be able to stand it."

Mother Fang smiled: "I'm going to buy two more people and teach them how to do it at that time. The shop is not far from the bun shop, and you can make pastries at the bun shop at that time." There is no business in the bun shop at noon and in the afternoon. If you want to do things like cakes and sweets, you won’t do business at noon and afternoon.

Yuxi didn't know general affairs before, but now he is studying hard. But even if I learn a little now, Fang’s mother, who has been training outside for a year, is much better than her: “Mom thinks it’s okay, then try it. But you can’t tire yourself, or I won’t open both shops. Up."

Mother Fang said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, I won't tire myself. I still have to watch the girl grow up." The words to marry were omitted.

You have to buy a store early, if you are late, you will be bought by others. After leaving Fang's mother, Yuxi went to the main courtyard to find Qiu's family, and said that she wanted to buy a shop.

Qiu's was shocked: "It costs a lot of money to buy a shop? Where did you get so much money?"

Yuxi was ready to say something: "My mother left me a little money when she passed away. Only Mum Fang knew about this. Mum Fang thought this was the dowry my mother left for me, so I plan to spend a few years later. Tell me. Now Mrs. Fang runs a steamed bun shop outside, and her thoughts are not the same as before. She feels that this money is dead money under the box, and it is not like buying a property, so that every year you can earn money and have money on hand.” Although everyone is Knowing that her mother took the dowry to arrange for her mother's family, but it is not clear to outsiders whether she really did not leave it to her. Now that she said that her mother left the money, most people would still believe it.

Qiu's family was a little surprised. She thought that Ning's money didn't give Yuxi a cent. "How much money did your mother leave for you? To buy a store, even on Shangyuan Street, a store costs three to four thousand taels." "Although Shangyuan Street is not as good as the East and West Streets, the location of Shangyuan Street is also good. People living nearby have two living allowances on hand, and it is also very good to open shops there. So the shop over there is not cheap.

Yuxi said, "Ten thousand taels."

Qiu's was shocked, there are so many? She remembered that Ning's dowry was only over twenty thousand taels, and she would actually leave ten thousand taels for Yuxi. It is said that Ning's dowry was used up. It seems that the rumors are not credible: "Are you sure?"

Yuxi handed the bank note in his sleeve to Qiu's and said, "This is a bank note." Yuxi specifically asked the other party that the bank note must have been issued six years ago.

Qiu's took the banknote and looked at it. There are a lot of banknotes in her hand, and she knows whether it is true or false when she holds it in her hand: "This banknote is real." After speaking, he asked, "Yuxi, you are really prepared. Do you want to buy it on Shangyuan Street? If you buy the shops on Shangyuan Street, the rent will not be much when you rent them out.” The rent for shops on Shangyuan Street is three hundred taels a year, which is considered high.

Yuxi said about Fang's mother's plan: "I think Fang's method is feasible." Fang's mother is right. Yuxi feels that opening a grocery store is definitely more profitable than renting.

After listening to the Qiu family, he weighed it up in his heart and said, "So, I'll ask Mr. Xiang to inquire about it. If it is true as Fang's mother said, we can buy it from this shop." After a pause, Qiu said again: " Yuxi, the fake shop can be taken down for about three thousand taels. What do you plan to do with the remaining six thousand taels?"

Yuxi looked at the bank note on hand and asked, "Auntie, I still want to buy some properties. What kind of property should I buy?" Not one pavement is enough, and the pavement of that place is in any case a primer. And Yuchen's two shops on West Street and East Street only cost more than 4,000 taels per year.

Taking into account the actual situation of Yuxi, Qiu suggested that Yuxi buy the land: "I mean it is best to buy the land, and the harvest will be guaranteed by drought and waterlogging."

Yuxi also tends to buy land. Although the income of land is not high, the win is safe, and it is available every year. If a grocery store is opened at that time, the things on the Zhuangzi will also have a market. Thinking of this, Yuxi's inspiration flashed, and said: "Auntie, if you are buying farmland, I think it's better to have a mountain forest. By that time, I will plant fruit trees on the mountain and make preserved fruits to sell in the grocery store."

The Qiu family is not optimistic about Yuxi’s ideas, but the price of mountain forests is not expensive, and there is no problem buying one or two mountain forests: "If you want to bring mountain and forest fields, the location may be relatively remote." There must be no more near the capital. If you have it, it's all taken up by others.

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

If Yuxi wants to buy a property such a big deal, she must not be able to hide it from the old lady. Qiu's family simply took Yuxi to meet the old lady and told about the incident.

The old lady's expression moved slightly when she heard that Ning had left ten thousand taels of silver. But no one can tell her strangeness: "When did you know about silver?"

Yuxi said, "I only found out today."

The questions asked by the old lady are all on the point: "Why didn't Ms. Fang say it before? Just now?"

Yuxi repeated what he had said to Qiu's.

The old lady couldn't find any flaws in it. Because she wasn't asking her to take out the money to buy property for Yuxi, the old lady naturally had no opinion: "Since you have a deal with the four girls, the eldest daughter-in-law, help her find out where to buy land." What Yuxi has 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.

When everyone went out, the old lady put down the Buddhist beads in her hand and said to Mother Luo beside her: "Go and ask Granny Shen, is there anything unusual about the four girls recently?"

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

The old lady said with certainty: "Ning’s dowry totaled only more than 20,000 taels. At that time, the Ning’s family was in urgent need of silver management. The prices of Ning’s farm shops were not high. Even if she left four girls with silver, she could keep it. Three or four thousand liang is very good, how could it be possible to leave such a large sum of money." The old lady did not suspect that the money was made by Yuxi. It's just that Yuxi opened a bun shop as jewelry, so she suspects that the money is also for Yuxi as jewelry.

Mother Luo felt that the silver was left by Ning's: "Old lady, ten thousand taels of silver is not a decimal. If the silver was obtained by a girl as jewelry, then all the jewelry must be gone. Such a big thing, mother Shen It's impossible not to know." Mother Shen knew when she was this old, and she would definitely come and tell her the first time.

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

Mother Luo went out and came back soon afterwards: "Old lady, Granny Shen said that all the registered jewelry is locked in a box intact."

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

Mother Luo shook her head and said, "During this period, the four girls have nothing unusual except for saying that they feel tired from time to time." Tiredness is because of overwork, which is not abnormal.

The old lady was puzzled: "It's really Ning's stay." No matter how shrewd the old lady is, it is impossible to think that Yuxi earned the money.

Mother Luo said: "Old lady, Ning is also a mother. It is impossible not to leave some money for her children. I think this money should be left by Ning." It was impossible for everyone to think that the money was Yuxi. For the money, the excuses Yuxi made by Erlai was also reasonable.

The old lady thought that Ning would rather give the money to an old mother instead of letting her take care of it. This is equivalent to saying that Ning believed in an old mother and didn’t believe her. This made the old lady feel uncomfortable how much she liked it. Yuxi's mother-in-law, Jiang, hates Ning as much. But the person is already dead, and it doesn't make much sense to pursue this.
