Chapter 49 Property Purchase (2)

Although Mo Ju doesn't have a heart, she is loyal. She felt that Shen's mother was behaving abnormally, and immediately told Yuxi about it.

Yuxi roughly guessed what Shen's mother was for: "In the future, you will do whatever Shen's mother asks you to do, and just tell me in private." Before Yuxi felt that it was okay to put Shen's mother by her side, but now Yuxi But disgusted. This kind of life without any freedom under the surveillance of others all the time made her very uncomfortable. He had to find a way to get Mother Shen away without offending the old lady.

Steward Xiang has been honed outside for many years, and he is very cautious in his actions. He got Qiu's order, he didn't go to the shop directly, but went to find out what happened to the shop owner's house first. After inquiring, I really found out some things.

When Yuxi heard that Manager Xiang was negotiating the shop for two thousand six taels, she found it inconceivable: "Isn't it possible?" For a shop of four thousand taels, Xiang Guanshi actually negotiated for two thousand six taels? Yuxi felt that this was a little abnormal.

Said to the steward: "Miss, I don't know. The owner of this shop has offended the people in the yamen. Most people dare not buy his shop." According to my own sources, people who know that the owner has offended the Yamen will definitely not buy it, so as not to be angered.

Yu Xi said with some concern: "Who is offended by this store? If the offended person is not small, this store will be abandoned." She is not willing to cause trouble.

Xiang steward smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. After buying this shop, it belongs to us. The other party dare not change his mind. Girl, in fact, if this shop doesn't have such a thing, it can be bought for a thousand taels of silver. We This price is not considered low." Ordinary people dare not buy this shop, but it does not mean that the Duke's government is afraid to buy.

Seeing this, Yuxi was relieved: "It's hard work to the steward."

But Manager Xiang has a plan: "Miss Si, I heard that I bought this store 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 brother-in-law, surnamed Meng, who was fifteen years old this year.

Yuxi has no dissatisfaction with this age. The grocery store she opened is not large, as long as the other party can manage the store well: "Since it is recommended to the manager, it must have something special. It's just me The grocery store is not big, so you are afraid of losing your talent?"

Xiang steward said with a smile: "He has only been in the silk shop for two years, and he is very immature. I dared to say this only because Mother Fang was watching me."

Yuxi was naturally willing to give Steward Xiang this face.

When leaving, Yuxi asked Hongshan to give the steward Xiang twenty taels of silver: "The past two days have made the steward Xiang tired,

Use this money to buy wine. "

After accepting the reward from the steward, he left the Duke's mansion, and when he returned home, he told his wife Meng Shi about it, 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 out of it!

Xiang Yang said: "Why are your eyelids so shallow, you just stare at the melons and jujubes in front of you. The grocery store is small, but don't you think that the fourth girl is learning from Mr. Song now, and her future will be worse in the future? Now my brother follows her In the future, if the fourth girl is well-off, can she not use her brother?" He is now in charge of the silk shop, apart from his own ability, the most important thing is that his mother is the wife's confidant, otherwise, no matter how capable he is, it will not be his turn.

Meng was still a little worried: "My younger brother is fifteen years old, and he will soon reach the age of marriage. This is not the same, what should we do about the marriage?" The fourth girl will be developed at least ten years later. Keeping guard at the grocery store is tantamount to a delay.

Seeing this, Xiang Yang could only speak clearly: "As long as your brother works hard and gets into the eyes of Miss Si, you don't have to worry about the daughter-in-law's affairs." Seeing Meng's suspicious face, Xiang Yang said: "Miss Si is smart, it's just her basic foundation. Qian, it’s inconvenient to do things in the mansion. If my younger brother does well, the fourth girl will definitely win him over. You don’t remember, the two maidservants next to the fourth girl will reach the age of marriage in two years.” If you want to win people's hearts, betrotting the maids around you is the best way.

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

Xiang Yang poured cold water on her: "If my younger brother can't get into the girl's eyes, it's useless." This meant for Mrs. Meng to persuade his uncle to do a good job.

In the evening, Yuxi got the house deed. Holding the house deed, Yuxi was overjoyed. This is her property, and she has her own property, which is great.

Speaking of it, it was Yuxi's luck. A few days later, the Qiu family found out that the Lu family in Zhongyonghou's mansion was going to sell a piece of land, and the land was accompanied by a forest, which just met Yuxi's requirements.

Qiu Shi and Yuxi said: "That village is not far from the capital, it takes about two hours to walk there. I think it can be bought."

Yuxi asked suspiciously: "Auntie, why would people from the Lu family sell such a good property?" Land property is something that can be passed on to future generations, and ordinary people would not sell it.

Since the Qiu family was going to buy these properties, they must have inquired clearly, and said: "The Lu family has established a line with the imperial merchant Li's family, and is going to do business with the Li family. It is said that the paving is very large and requires a lot of capital. So I am going to sell some properties to cash out, and this is also catching up."

Yuxi was not familiar with the market outside, so she asked, "What is the background of this Li family? Did the Lu family sell their fields and land?" If they were not sure that they could make a lot of money with the Li family, the Lu family would never sell these to pass on to the family. industry.

Qiu said: "The head wife of the Li family is Song Shangshu Song's concubine sister." It is equivalent to saying that the backing of the Li family is Song Guifei and the Song family.

Yuxi's heart felt a little cold, the Song family did such evil things, and they could still enjoy their wealth and wealth at ease. Those soldiers and surnames who died unjustly died in vain.

The Qiu family didn't know what Yuxi was thinking, so they explained the situation of the land in detail with Yuxi: "There are forty or sixty mu of paddy fields in that village, of which there are 20 mu of high-grade paddy fields, 10 to 60 mu of medium-grade paddy fields, and 10 to 60 mu of low-grade paddy fields. Seventy mu, and the mountain forest has more than sixty or eighty mu."

Yuxi was immediately pulled back to her mind and asked, "How much is the asking price?"

Qiu said, "The asking price is eight thousand taels."

Yuxi frowned and said, "Auntie, isn't the price too high?" The value of a mountain forest of more than six acres is only more than one thousand taels, so one mu of paddy fields costs fourteen to five taels. It would be a good deal if all of them were high-grade paddy fields, but only half of them were high-grade paddy fields, eight thousand taels, which is expensive.

Qiu said with a smile: "There is a reason why they asked for this price. They planted a lot of fir trees in that mountain forest a few years ago, and they will be able to sell them for money in a few years. In addition, they also planted a lot of red dates and trees on the mountain. There are many fruit trees such as chestnuts, and there is no loss after all.”

Yuxi still thinks it's expensive. Who knows how many Chinese firs and when they can be sold for money, and how many fruit trees such as red dates and chestnuts have been planted? There are so many uncertainties here.

Qiu Shi was not in a hurry, but said to Yuxi in detail: "Yuxi, the eight thousand taels of silver includes this season's rice harvest, and one season's rice should be able to sell for four or five taels. In addition, this village is far from the capital. Recently, there are many people who want to buy, so the price is high. Yuxi, the location of the village is good, so the asking price is relatively high, if the Lu family is not in urgent need of money, they will not be willing to sell it."

Yuxi thought about it in her heart, and asked, "Does Auntie think it's a good deal to buy this village?"

Qiu nodded and said, "It's a bit expensive, but this village is close to the capital and near the river, eight thousand taels is worth buying. And if you don't buy it this time, it will be very difficult to buy the one you like next time. "

Yuxi thought of the past, if she had such a village outside the capital, she would not have nowhere to go, and was burned to death in the wilderness in the end. In case she falls into the situation of her predecessors again, she also has a place to stay. Thinking of this, Yu Xi immediately said: "Then buy it!"

Qiu Shi thought that Yuxi only had more than seven thousand taels of silver in his hand, which was still a little short, and planned to help Yuxi make up the difference...

Yuxi refused as soon as she heard it: "Auntie, I didn't touch the income from the bag shop last year! I can make up 8,000 taels." In addition, I also received several taels of gifts during the Chinese New Year! As for the two thousand taels of banknotes on hand, Yuxi doesn't want to touch them for the time being, she is saving them for urgent use.

Qiu didn't force her, and immediately talked about another matter with Yuxi: "Don't you want to buy a strong maid? I've already found it for you. That girl is only six years old, but she has a lot of strength." It is not so easy to find someone who is strong, family and innocent, but not too old. It took me half a year to find it.

Yu Xi's eyes lit up immediately: "Where is it?"

Qiu said with a smile: "I just entered the mansion today, let her behave in the next few days, and send it to your courtyard after the rules are completed."

Yuxi knew that this was a normal process, and she didn't want to be special, so she said, "Auntie, when Zhuang buys it, I want to find a chance to have a look." It's uneasy.

Qiu said with a smile: "That's no problem. You can go there when you are on vacation. The place is not far away, so go early and come back in the evening." It's normal for one's own property to want to take a look, and there's nothing strange about it. .

Yuxi looked forward to that day.

Qiu's work efficiency is very high, and Yuxi got the title deed of the land and forest on the same day. Holding the land deed, Yuxi put it together with the deed like a baby bump. From now on, she is also a person with land and real estate.

After knowing this, Mo Ju asked with some doubts: "Girl, did you really buy the land?" In the past, the mother in the front used to worry about money, but in a blink of an eye her girl bought shops and land, Mo Ju felt that this world The change is too big, she can't keep up with the rhythm!

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

Mo Ju stomped her feet, and shyly said she understood: "The girl knows how to tease slaves." After speaking, she ran out with a blushing face.

A cheerful smile appeared on Yu Xi's face. In the past, Mo Ju and Mo Tao did not marry well, but in this life, she will not let them make the same mistakes again. The First Daughter Rebirth (..)( The First Daughter Rebirth )
