The conversation naturally broke up unhappily, and after the wine was over, in the eyes of outsiders, the two rooms of the Shen family were really separated, and there were many people who speculated, but seeing that Shen Shixuan was still free to enter and leave the Shen family's firm, some of the previous remarks seemed to be self-defeating.

Chu Yiyao didn't care about these, she was now busy calculating how much she could earn from the silver she had invested in, the batch of jade transported from southern Xinjiang, except for some of the cooperation with the Bai family on the surface, the rest of the part was bought with the silver she privately handed over to Shen Shixuan, she didn't plan to sell these jade in Jinling, Luoyang was too conspicuous, Chu Yiyao thought about it, asked Huaishan to go to Lixi City, and took a jewelry shop there, and transferred the jade to sell there.

The peacock walked in, saying that the carriage was ready, Chu Yiyao set off for a trip to the Nantang Market, looked at the shops in a circle, and half a day passed, in the afternoon, Chu Yiyao asked Ah Chuan to take her to the Crescent River Market, the carriage stopped in front of the two shops that were quite lively, Chu Yiyao opened the curtain and saw a familiar figure at the door.

is really a hands-on second uncle, Chu Yiyao saw Chu Hanlin, who was busy coming in and out, after he left the Chu family, he had three shops in his hands, and after marrying a widow, there were a few more, and the mix was very prosperous.

Chu Yiyao just watched from a distance, and after a while, she waited for the person she wanted to see, Xiao Shi appeared outside the shop with a haggard expression, and when she saw Chu Hanlin, she almost pounced suddenly, grabbed his hand and didn't know what she was saying, Chu Hanlin impatiently wanted to get rid of her, but because there were guests, she could only persuade with good words.

Seeing that Xiao's face was a little more happy, Chu Hanlin and the people in the shop gave a few words, took Xiao to the outside of the shop, and walked through two alleys before stopping, Chu Yiyao asked Ah Chuan to follow, the alley was narrow and couldn't get in, the carriage stopped outside the alley, and the sound inside couldn't be heard clearly.

After a long time, Chu Yiyao was about to leave, but a scream came from the alley, "Chu Hanlin, you who killed a thousand knives!" Then came Xiao's howl.

The sound was so strong that everyone walking outside heard it, and a few people looked curiously into the alley, Chu Hanlin came out quickly, and he wanted to leave quickly, Chu Yiyao caught a glimpse of an obvious nail scratch on his covered face.

The crying in the alley continued, and someone walked in to take a look, and Xiao's scolding voice came from inside.

It wasn't until the crying stopped that Chu Yiyao ordered Ah Chuan to drive away and return to the mansion, Chu Yiyao ordered Ah Chuan to inquire about the current situation of the Xiao family.

The next day, Ah Chuan came back with the news he heard, and sometimes he didn't pay attention to the situation at the second uncle's house, and the second aunt had been kicked out of the second uncle's house half a year ago.

One is a young bride who married a shop and gave birth to a son, and the other is an old and decrepit old woman who gave birth to three daughters in a row and couldn't help himself, Chu Hanlin didn't need to think about it, he chose the former directly, not to mention that the three daughters didn't bring him any benefits.

After leaving, life was not good for Xiao's, she was not a business-savvy person, the business of the shop next to the boudoir was getting worse and worse, and now they were about to go out of business, and there was no source of life, so Xiao could only go back to Chu Hanlin and wanted to go back.

When Shen Shixuan came back at night, Chu Yiyao said this, Shen Shixuan was a little disapproving, "A woman can support a few shops by herself, let alone your second aunt, even your second uncle doesn't dare to underestimate it." "If Widow Li doesn't have any skills, how can she keep the shop.

"With the pungent nature of the second aunt, it's not so easy to be kind." Chu Yiyao shook her head, the second aunt has no ability to do business, but after so many years, if the second aunt is really a fool, the second uncle will not leave her early.

"Don't look at the two shops in Crescent River, the business is good, the sale is cheap and the purchase price is low, the actual profit is not large, but the rent is not cheap, if you want to give them some color, just take down the two shops around." Shen Shixuan knew that she hated the second uncle's family in her heart, so he took her into his arms and gave her advice.

"We don't need to do anything, and business there won't be good for a long time." Chu Yiyao slapped away his tickling hand, "That spring full of buildings have to be relocated, not to mention so many shops." ”

Shen Shixuan was dissatisfied with her always talking about this, reached out and pulled down the curtain, and skillfully stripped her of clothes, "Don't you think Kang'er is a little lonely alone?" ”…

The next day, Chu Yiyao got up and felt a little sore back, the nurse took Kang'er over to ask for peace, Chu Yiyao carried him to the soft couch, Kang'er held a piece of halva in her hand and gave it to her, "Mother, my father said that I want to have a little sister." ”

Chu Yiyao almost choked to death after taking a sip of tea, choking on his son's innocent look, "What did your father tell you." ”

Kang'er thought for a moment, "Dad said I want to have a sister." ”

The logic of what the son said didn't make sense, but Chu Yiyao understood, and the father instigated his son to come to her and pester a sister.

Chu Yiyao touched her son's hair, a child looked lonely, so she asked softly, "Then Kang'er doesn't want a younger brother or sister." ”

Kang'er thought about it again and looked up at her, "Can we play together?" ”

Chu Yiyao nodded, and Kang Er nodded very happily, "Then I want a younger brother and sister who can play together." "What a child wants is actually as simple as that, it's too boring to play alone, and it's very satisfying if someone can accompany him.

"In a few days, my mother will take you to your uncle's house to play." Chu Yiyao took him in her arms and kissed him, at first she was afraid that the Shen family would leave a shadow on the child that time, and she didn't want any younger brothers and sisters, but now she is finally relieved...

In April, the imperial court suddenly issued an order that the Crescent River Market in Jinling City, especially the restaurants and shops around Chunmanlou, should be demolished, including the Chunmanlou.

In mid-April, the white prince was ordered to go to Jinling to build a palace, and watched the large group of people at the gate of the city come in, at this time everyone knew that it was the emperor who chose the place here in Jinling to build a palace for the imperial concubine.

When everyone learned that the chosen place was Sangtian, they envied the person who had the title deed of Sangtian, and this was really going to be issued!

Originally, the construction of the palace had little to do with the Crescent River Bazaar, but the Crescent River Bazaar was next to the Crescent River, located in the middle of the Crescent River, and the Huxin Pavilion was originally built for the imperial concubine.

Bai Wangye personally operated it, without any private pockets, and the dismantled shops and goods were subsidized to the merchants at price, and in half a month, the originally prosperous and lively Crescent River Market was much deserted.

For those merchants, it was more practical to find a prosperous area than to subsidize it with silver, but the imperial court was not responsible for opening another bazaar, so they either went to find another place for themselves now, or waited until the bank of the river was rebuilt and then returned.

Bai Wang Ye saw that the demolition was almost done, and the next thing was handed over to his subordinates, and he went to Sangtian with Master Li, and the people in Sangtian also had to move out, and the handling method of the Crescent River Bazaar was different, and the people who moved out of Sangtian were all properly settled, and those who were willing to move to Jinling had arranged their houses, and those who did not want to go to Jinling lived in another small village near Sangtian, and the houses were all built.

The reason why it took so much effort was to not disturb the place of Sangtian, if there was a complaint when migrating, then the aura of this place would be destroyed, and the effect of recuperation would be gone.

In mid-May, Bai Wangye held a banquet in the yamen, and the people invited were all famous people who did business in Jinling, and the Shen family was naturally invited, but the old man Shen was not in good health, so he asked his two sons to take Shen Shixuan and Shen Shijin over together.

Chu Yiyao fulfilled her promise, scooped out the land deed of Sangtian, and handed it over to Shen Shixuan, "You have to hand this over to the White Lord in person on behalf of the Shen family, and you can also bring the things here, even if this White Lord is an honest person, we can't go to the Yamen empty-handed." ”

Shen Shixuan nodded, it has been more than a month since Bai Wang Ye arrived in Jinling, and everything has been prepared, but the matter of the title deed has not been mentioned, and there are definitely not a few people who want to be in the limelight at this banquet today.

The carriage stopped at a market outside the yamen, and the door was even more crowded, and what Shen Shixuan prepared was simply a small thing, and many people were sent in a few gifts.

After entering the mansion, I followed the person who led the way to the hall in front, Master Shen and Shen Shijin were already there, and they were almost sitting before the banquet arrived.

Lord Li came out first to say hello to everyone, and after a while, Lord Bai appeared.

For the merchants of Jinling, it is a very proud thing to be able to get in touch with the official family, let alone the big red man in front of the emperor, the white prince.

Therefore, everyone seized the opportunity to be courteous, knowing that Bai Wang Ye was still living in Lord Li's mansion, and the two wealthy people proposed to prepare a house for Bai Wang Ye, so that he could live comfortably.

Bai Wang Ye was always smiling, he didn't want those things, "This king lives very well in Lord Li's mansion, thank you for your concern, but there is indeed a difficult matter to trouble you today." ”

Polite words come and go, Bai Wang Ye said this, and the people sitting below naturally nodded and responded first.

Halfway through the banquet, Bai Wang Ye raised his glass to everyone, "I'm ashamed to say that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." In fact, the matter of the palace is also to accumulate virtue for the concubine Niangniang, if the people can gather the people's willingness to build the palace, the concubine Niangniang's body will definitely get better soon. "Bai Wangye's words are good, the temple is the power of incense, and now he is opening the word "people's wish" to ask the people present to dig out their pockets and scoop up some silver to build the palace.

As soon as Bai Wangye finished speaking, the scene was quiet, and the Cao family, who was sitting in front, made a move first, and Master Cao took the box handed over by his eldest son, got up and presented it to Lord Li with both hands, and said extremely sincerely, "It is a blessing for me to be able to accumulate virtue for the concubine." ”

No one knows what is in this box, but it is nothing more than something valuable, and everyone saw that the Cao family had moved, and they all began to take out things one after another.

The second half of the banquet continued this strange situation, one after another stepped forward to show their concern for the body of the noble concubine, according to what Shen Shixuan had just glimpsed, and the boxes that were scooped up later, there was nothing else in them, just a thick pile of silver tickets.

Shen Shijin glanced at Shen Shixuan, "Second brother, are you prepared?" ”

Shen Shixuan smiled, "Slightly express your heart." ”

Shen Shijin scooped up a long box from behind him and sent it forward, these things were not opened to see, Bai Wang Ye was attracted by the shape of this box, showing a touch of interest.

The guards on the side took the long box and opened it, and everyone was in an uproar, it was a clear jade sword, not to mention the exquisite carving, and the words similar to scriptures were engraved on the sword.

The jade book is psychic, not to mention that it has been enshrined through chanting, and it can keep the house safe and secure, and the white prince looked at Shen Shijin with a few expressions of appreciation in his eyes.

When it was Shen Shixuan's turn, what he was holding was just an ordinary box, there was such a big difference between the two before and after, these were still two brothers, the guard next to Bai Wangye took it and opened it to take a look, and whispered a few words in Bai Wangye's ear.

Unexpectedly, Bai Wang Ye opened his mouth and asked Shen Shixuan, "What do you want?" ”

"This is the Shen family's modest contribution to the concubine, and they don't ask for anything." Shen Shixuan arched his hand and said humbly.

The people who were still attracted by the jade sword just now became curious about the things that Shen Shixuan sent, and just now they sent so much that they didn't see the white prince open his mouth to ask them.

Bai Wang Ye naturally knew the inextricable relationship between the Shen family and the imperial concubine, otherwise the emperor would not have chosen the palace in Jinling, and vaguely guessed what Shen Shixuan meant by doing this, Bai Wang Ye reminded, "Really don't ask for anything?" ”

Shen Shixuan was slightly stunned, lowered his head and quickly reacted, "I just want the imperial concubine to be healthy." "In this way, we can truly protect the Shen family.

A flash of clarity flashed in the eyes of the white prince, "Then the king will accept this land deed." ”

When Shen Shixuan returned to his seat, Shen Shijin's expression was not very good-looking, "It turns out that the title deed of Sangtian is in the hands of the second brother, and the second brother is deep enough." ”

This matter was originally known only to the old man Shen and their husband and wife, but Shen Shixuan smiled, a little surprised, "I thought my grandfather told my eldest brother." ”

The ambiguous answer made Shen Shijin even more uncomfortable, but his grandfather hid it from him but asked the second brother to dedicate this important thing to the white prince, no matter how good the jade sword is, it can't compare to the title deed of a place as big as Sangtian.

In front of everyone, what does it mean that my grandfather asked the second brother to send this favor on behalf of the Shen family...

The banquet lasted until very late, and all the guests were sent away, and the two of them, Bai Wang Ye and Master Li, were talking in the back of the hall.

Bai Wangye looked at the title deed on the table, "Didn't you say that this title deed Tian family refused to sell it to the Shen family back then, why did it come to the Shen family again?" ”

Master Li explained with a smile, "This title deed is actually the eldest lady of the Chu family, the Tian and Shen families were unhappy back then, and the eldest lady of the Chu family didn't know what method to use to buy those lands, or bought them quietly, I spent a lot of effort to find out when you wrote the letter, and then the eldest lady of the Chu family married the second young master of the Shen family, and this thing went to the hands of the Shen family again." ”

Bai Wang Ye was not interested in the matter between these families, and looked at the title deed and smiled bitterly, "This one took the initiative to send it to the door, but I have solved a big problem." ”

If it is really scooped up to buy silver, how much silver does it cost to make the family pay it willingly, it has only been more than a month, and it has cost a lot just to the Crescent River Bazaar, and the emperor has ordered him to come, but I don't know that the little silver allocated is not enough at all.

Here Bai Wang Ye and Master Li thought of a way to deal with the silver, and after Chu Yiyao heard what Shen Shixuan said, he marked this banquet with three words: Hongmen Banquet!

"That palace has been built for three years." Chu Yiyao counted this time, twice a year for such a banquet, the silver of this CCB Palace was enough, maybe there was still left.

"No wonder it is to be built in Jinling, there are more treasures of Feng Shui in the beams, but the only place where you can make money like this is here." Chu Yiyao looked at Shen Shixuan's coffin and said, "I think the emperor is a profiteer, and he wants to curry favor with the concubine, and he is reluctant to spend silver, what should I do, isn't Jinling the hometown of the concubine, no one will send it, send the white prince here, be worshipped and at the same time be able to do the silver thing, by the way, I remember that the white prince seems to have only married a side concubine." ”

Bai Wangye is the only one among the many royal relatives in Luoyang who has married a merchant concubine, how can he not be reverie for the position of another concubine.

Chu Yiyao began to feel distressed about the title deed, "In this way, the cheapness can be taken up by the emperor, and this title deed might as well be exchanged for silver!" ”

Shen Shixuan hugged her with a smile and coaxed, "Cheng, I'll earn it." Chu Yiyao muttered in his arms.

At this time, it was late at night, and the two of them couldn't hold back their sleepiness and were about to fall asleep, when a peacock's cry suddenly came from outside the house, "Miss, uncle, there is an accident in the house, and the old man has fainted." ”
