Chapter 122: Entrustment

The outsiders were gone, and Zhao Mo didn't mind letting Brother Zi'er hear it, so he said to Qin Hanzhen with a smile: "My grandfather really came to compensate me." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He knew that I was not in harmony with my third uncle, so he brought my second uncle here. My aunt and cousin were fine, but I was snubbed by my grandfather for a few days, and it didn't take long for my cousin to coax my grandfather back. My grandfather said that when my cousin was admitted to Xiucai, he would send him to the capital to be my companion. ”

When Qin Hanzhen heard this, he also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good." It seems that your grandfather has turned a corner now, and he is not afraid that he will be confused again in the future, right?"

Zhao Mo smiled: "Even if he makes another mistake, he won't commit it to me again." He put the box in his hand on the table and pushed it to Qin Hanzhen, "This was given to me by my grandfather, so I can keep it." ”

Qin Hanzhen opened the box curiously and saw that there was a thick stack of paper inside, and the size was not quite the same, but he didn't know what it was. She flipped it out and looked at it, and was taken aback: "This ...... Isn't it a silver ticket?"

Zhao Mo nodded: "It's a silver ticket, all of them are one hundred and two, and there are thirty of them here." ”

Three thousand taels of silver! Qin Hanzhen's eyes widened: "It's all from your grandfather? Is this compensation?"

Zhao Mo was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Cousin, what he said is interesting, isn't it compensation......? I was really tormented, and I didn't have any energy for days. ”

Qin Hanzhen coughed twice, and then opened the topic: "How could your grandfather give you so much money?" She flipped through the stack of silver tickets, and it seemed that there were other documents underneath, and she didn't know what they were.

Zhao Mo said: "He read my father's letter to him, and knew that his father still cared about my son, and he regretted it if he didn't want me to die." In the past, he listened to the words of his third uncle, and only focused on the Wang family, but forgot my father's thoughts. Even if the Wang family is powerful, his father has a lot to rely on the Wang family, but if he tells his father in person that the Wang family is more important than him, he will definitely be unhappy. My grandfather suffered this loss, and now he was scolded by his father, and he finally understood. ”

He smiled mockingly: "He knew that I did not live with my father now, but lived alone in the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion, so he gave me this silver and told me to spend it in the future when I need it." If you run out of money, just write to him and ask him for it again, anyway, the Wen family is not short of this bit of silver. If you can please me with the silver, by currying favor with my father, and bring greater benefits to the Wen family in the future, what is a few thousand taels of silver? Looking at my grandfather's kind and loving appearance now, I almost thought that I had discussed with my third uncle to sacrifice me in order to please the Wang family's grandfather. ”

Master Wen's painting style will never change, and the interests of the Wen family are the most important. In the past, he felt that he could get benefits by sacrificing Zhao Mo, so he acquiesced to Third Uncle Wen's evil deeds. Now he feels that pleasing Zhao Mo is more beneficial to the Wen family, and he can also pull down his face and send silver to Zhao Mo to please him. When Qin Han really thought of this, it was not difficult to understand how the mocking expression on Zhao Mo's face came from.

She could only say to Zhao Mo: "Master Wen gives it to you, and you can keep it." You don't have much money on hand, and with the money, it will be much easier for you to do anything in the future. However, I don't know how long the three thousand taels of silver can be used, and we can't expect to be able to live on it for a lifetime, right? Although Master Wen told you to ask him for it when you run out, since he has asked for money from your father and you, he always asks him for money, and the silver is definitely not given for nothing, and I don't know what he will ask for. Blame the trouble. I don't think you want to go to him all the time. Let's think of a way, use the three thousand taels of silver as the capital, find you an industry that can make money, or buy some land to rent out, or buy a shop to collect rent, or invest in other people's shops, and get dividends on a monthly basis. You have money and property, and you don't have to rely on your family to support you in the future, and it won't be so easy for your stepmother to take care of you. ”

Zhao Mo looked at Qin Hanzhen, his eyes were a little weird.

Qin Hanzhen was stunned: "What's the matter?" Cousin Zhao, why do you look at me like this? Do you think my words are wrong?"

Zhao Mo smiled, shook his head, took out a piece of paper from under the box, and opened it for Qin Hanzhen to see.

Qin Hanzhen found out that there was a house deed hidden under this box, and the address on it was in Shejia Hutong, which was a building with a front shop and a back house, with two entrances in front and back, and a price of three hundred and twenty taels of silver.

Qin Hanzhen sighed: "It's such a coincidence? This is also what your grandfather gave you? But why is it a house with a shop? Does he still want you to do business?"

Zhao Mo smiled and said: "The second uncle said that on the way to the capital, they discussed buying me a property, so that I would not have to send someone under the fence and not even have a place of my own." After arriving in the capital, my grandfather was unwell, and my second uncle had nothing to do, so he asked everywhere if there was a suitable property, but he never met a good one. They have no way, and if they can't get the property in the inner city, they can only find it in the outer city. Yesterday my father told them that they were in a hurry, and they hurried to come to me, and they couldn't buy any good houses in a hurry. This property is close to Liulichang, and the neighborhood is quite prosperous, but it was originally bought by my second uncle and planned to live in my cousin when he entered Beijing in the future, but now I had to give it directly to me. My grandfather told me to keep the deed first, and they would find someone to help me build a wall to separate the shop at the front of the house from the house at the back. When the time comes, I will rent out the shop to collect rent, and the house in the back will be kept by myself, and there is no inconvenience. The rental market of the shop over there is very good, and the second uncle also said that if I want, he will find a reliable tenant for me. In a year, you can also collect dozens of taels of silver. ”

It turned out that the house was near Liulichang. Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "I heard that one is quite prosperous, and it seems to be a business in calligraphy, painting and antiques." You don't have to worry about it yourself, you just need to collect the rent. ”

Zhao Mo sighed: "I didn't expect this, but my cousin actually wanted to go with my grandfather and second uncle." Indeed, if I had some property in my hands, I would be able to make it easier to use my money in the future, at least without being bound by my family. It's just that I am my father's son after all, and Xiao Wang is my stepmother, so I should call her mother in etiquette. Even if I have so much money and property in my hand, if she wants to take it, I can't stop it. Instead of cheapening the Wang family, I might as well not have any money-making industry. Hengzhuo, my father will not even call my uncle and grandfather for my daily use. I asked myself if I was not a luxury person, I didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and I didn't have much money to buy and socialize. ”

Qin Hanzhen disagreed: "If you earn a small industry of tens or hundreds of taels of silver a year, Xiao Wang's family will also accept it, and her eyelids are so shallow, no wonder we can't get along with her." Does she have a good reputation now? She also has to be greedy for what your foreign family gives you, and others will only say that she is not. If you are really worried, it's a big deal to say hello to your father directly, saying that you have to keep this little thing that your foreign family gave you, and don't ask Xiao Wang to accept it. Your father is still angry, and he will agree. He agreed, Xiao Wang's family wants to accept it, and you also have something to prevaricate. Unless she doesn't even care about your father, she has to rob it. When the time comes, you will complain to your father and let them quarrel with each other!"

Zhao Mo laughed again when he heard this: "When something difficult comes to my cousin, it has become more light." He pushed the box to Qin Hanzhen again, "Cousin, will you keep it for me first? ”

Qin Hanzhen's eyes widened: "How can you keep it for me? I don't dare to take such a large amount of property, what if I lose it?" I can't afford to pay it." ”

Zhao Mo smiled: "You don't have to pay." ”

"That's not going to work either. Qin Hanzhen insisted on stuffing the box back into his hand, "You can keep it yourself, if you find it inconvenient, ask my grandfather and grandmother to help you keep it." Anyway, you have your own house now, and you can move to Yan Hui in the near future, and you also have your own house, I'm afraid there won't be a place to put things?"

Zhao Mo said: "My cousin doesn't know, in addition to sending me these belongings, my grandfather also sent two people. One is the little guy I brought to Datong from the Liao Wangfu. Since I escaped for the first time, he disappeared, the third uncle said that he sent people back to the palace, in fact, he beat people half to death, and did not dare to really make a fuss, so the palace was held accountable, and he couldn't resell it, so he threw it on the Zhuangzi, and left the little guy to fend for himself. I asked my cousin to help me inquire, and not long ago I finally found out where he was, and sent him some medicine, and I heard that his injuries were getting better. This time, my maternal grandfather and second uncle went to Beijing and took him with them, but his injuries were not yet healed and he still had to be raised, so he was temporarily placed in the new house. As for the other person, it was sent by my maternal grandfather. I have never seen this man, and I don't know what his character is, whether he is reliable or not. Let him take care of my little servant for the time being, and there are so many silver tickets in this box, and the deed of the house, how can I hide the box in that house?

Qin Hanzhen thought about it: "Then take it in this mansion." ”

Zhao Mo still shook his head: "I am not the only one who lives over there when Yan returns, and there are also many subordinates of the Chengenhou Mansion who have been called. I haven't moved in yet, and I don't know what the situation is like over there, so I really don't dare to bring anything too valuable. It is reliable to hand it over to my uncles and grandparents for collection. But if I need the money and ask the two elders for it, I will inevitably explain the reason for asking for it......"

He didn't say any more, but Qin Hanzhen already understood. It's really not very convenient.

Qin Hanzhen thought about it, and reluctantly put the box away: "Then I'll keep it for you first, and I will definitely take care of it." When Cousin Zhao settles down over there when Yan returns, and if you think it's safe, I'll hand the things back to you." If you need money during this period, you can also tell me. ”

Zhao Mo smiled and nodded: "Then please cousin!"
