Xi Yunzhi bought a lot of snacks and candied fruits from Yunxianglou, and prepared to take them to the embroidery workshop to give Aunt Lan a tooth sacrifice, women love to eat some dim sum melon seeds, and have a special hobby for sweets, they rush to make embroidery for her day and night, and she should also ensure their quality of life.

was walking back, but saw Zhang Yan running over from the crowd, panting and saying to her:

"I've found you."

Xi Yunzhi saw that he was in a hurry, and he didn't know what was going on, so he asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Yes, there is a guest from other places who wants to rent Dicui Garden, and somehow found Deyue Lou, I heard you mention that Di Cui Yuan does not want to be an ancestor, but his price is really high, so I came to ask you."

Xi Yunzhi and Zhang Yan walked side by side on the street, and said strangely: "How much does he have?" ”

Zhang Yan gestured to Xi Yunzhi: "Twenty thousand taels, rent for half a year." ”

The price of "......" even Xi Yunzhi was very surprised, and couldn't help repeating: "20,000 taels, only rent for half a year?" ”

"yes. The man did look like a rich man, according to him, it was because the inn he lived in was suddenly closed by the government, so he was waiting outside the gate of Dicui Garden with all his belongings. Zhang Yan looks quite confused, but he does have a warm heart, and when he concentrates on doing one thing, he always thinks with one mind and goes all out.

"What do you say? People are still waiting for answers. Seeing that Xi Yunzhi was still thinking, Zhang Yan couldn't help urging.

Xi Yunzhi shrugged: "Okay." With such a high price, isn't it stupid to say that you don't want to rent? ”

After Zhang Yan got the order, he turned around and went. He has now become Xi Yunzhi's exclusive intermediary, no matter what the matter, what information, he will always think of being the first to tell Xi Yunzhi what he wants to do, and if he can't make up his mind, he will subconsciously ask Xi Yunzhi's opinion.

I didn't expect that Dicui Garden had just been bought, and it ushered in such a good thing, 20,000 taels of silver for half a year, although the layout and scenery of Dicui Garden are really good, but the price is still surprisingly high, she once thought about selling the house, or renting, but this price is obviously much higher than her psychological price.

In the evening, Zhang Yan came to the north and south shops with a contract and 20,000 taels of silver tickets proudly, threw things on the counter, and picked up the water cup on the side and poured water to drink.

Xi Yunzhi was not surprised by his casual opinion, put the contract aside, picked up the twenty silver tickets with a denomination of one thousand, and glanced at the issuer on the ticket, it turned out to be the universal pass number in the capital, it turned out that the outsider who rented Dicui Garden was from the capital, no wonder he made such a big deal.

Xi Yunzhi thanked Zhang Yan for running for her for many days, and forcibly stuffed five thousand taels to him, saying that there was money for everyone to earn together, Zhang Yan didn't run for Xi Yunzhi for this money, he wanted to refuse, but the temptation of five thousand taels of silver was too great, and in the end he couldn't control his hand, so he accepted it, and repeatedly asked Xi Yunzhi if he would regret it, and after getting Xi Yunzhi's affirmative answer, he took the silver ticket and left with peace of mind.

***

Xi Yunzhi returned home in the evening and found that the Xiao Gongzi who came to eat yesterday had come again.

But today Bu Qin was not at home, Bu Chengzong was pestered by Xiao Luo to play chess in the hall, and when he saw Xi Yunzhi coming back, Bu Chengzong hurriedly waved to her as if he had found a savior.

"Daughter-in-law Sun, come quickly, come on, you can accompany Xiao Gongzi to play a few dishes."

Xi Yunzhi saw that Bu Chengzong's face was different, and he wanted to be angry but was forced to endure it, how could she not guess that he was asking her for help, but he didn't really want her to play chess, so he replied modestly:

"Grandpa, my daughter-in-law doesn't know how to play chess, but Mother Liu said that the red dates and white fungus soup she cooked happened to be ripe, otherwise, my granddaughter-in-law will serve two bowls to the two of you to nourish your spirits."

Bu Chengzong was worried that he couldn't find an excuse, so he came to the spirit, and said in an extremely exaggerated tone:

"Red dates and white fungus soup, this is what the old man likes to eat the most. Go and serve two bowls. Turning his head to look at Xiao Luo, a little smile appeared on his old face:

"Xiao Gongzi, why don't we rest first, finish the soup, and wait for Qin Er to come back, and I'll let him fight with you, okay?"

“……”

When Xi Yunzhi stepped out of the threshold, he heard his grandfather say this, and he couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart, grandpa, what you don't want to do, how can you push it so easily to your husband? It's really unkind.

was serving the soup, Bu Qin walked back in a hurry, looking at his hurried appearance, it was obvious that the old lady Bu was overwhelmed and sent someone to the camp to call him back, Xi Yunzhi held two bowls in his hand and did not forget to greet him in front of the door, Bu Qin looked at her appearance, and glanced at the direction of the hall, as if he understood something, after taking a bowl from her hand, he walked to the hall.

Xiao Luo saw Bu Tan come back, and brought him a bowl of soup in his hand, thinking that Bu Tan personally brought it to him to drink, not to mention how surprised it was. was about to reach out to pick it up, but Bu Qin suddenly withdrew his arm, took the sweet soup, and brought it to his mouth to take a sip, and then seemed to think that it tasted good, so he sat on the Taishi chair and waited for Xi Yunzhi to hand over the spoon.

Xiao Luo's outstretched hand was awkwardly retracted, but he didn't get angry, but stood up, pretending to be relaxed and said to Bu Qin:

"By the way, Brother Bu didn't want to entertain me to live in your house, so I went to the city to rent a yard, and the environment was quite quiet, but I couldn't see Brother Bu, Xiao felt very lonely."

“……”

Xi Yunzhi went to fill another bowl of soup, and happened to hear Xiao Luo's words, and his footsteps paused slightly, rent a yard?

Wouldn't he be the one who rented her Dicui Garden?

So...... Is she asking too hard? After all, this person looks like a friend of his husband (really just looking, the husband doesn't dump him at all).

With apprehension, Xi Yunzhi finished dinner.

Xiao Luo also felt that it was very boring to entangle Bu Qin, who was as cold as ice, after dinner, so he also submitted his farewell early.

Xi Yunzhi waited in the room for a while, and when he saw that he still didn't come, he put the needle and thread into the bowl basket and went to the study to confess to her husband.

Who knows, after telling Bu Tan about this matter as it is, Bu Tan's reaction was unexpected by Xi Yunzhi.

"It's so cheap!"

Bu Qin looked upright, not like he was joking.

This result made Xi Yunzhi even more at a loss: "Husband, that house is only bought for twenty or thirty thousand taels, and Xiao Gongzi only rents it for half a year, so it's not cheap." ”

Bu Qin raised his eyes and looked at Xi Yunzhi, and said, "If he still goes to you next time, he will ask for the things he wants ten times the price, and he will say what I said." ”

“……”

Xi Yunzhi suddenly felt that he shouldn't have come to discuss business issues with his husband.

However, as long as he didn't blame her for asking for a high price for Xiao Gongzi, she would be relieved.

***

After breakfast the next day, Xi Yunzhi did not go directly to the north and south shops, nor did he rush to the embroidery workshop, but strolled to the central avenue alone, looking at the three carriage-wide roads on both sides, all kinds of high-end shops are standing in a cloud, and the shops that can be opened on this street are all popular businesses that make money every day.

There are a total of thirteen Xi families on Central Avenue, and the three shops that have been troubled by the government in the past few days are all on this street.

Deyun Inn, is the largest and most luxurious in Luoyang City, Xiangtan Building, is Shang Su'e's favorite, because she loves to eat Hunan cuisine, this is the order to open this restaurant, Wuyue Lou is a book friend teahouse, the fifth uncle loves to dance and ink, the whole Xi family, except for her father Xi Zheng, is the fifth uncle Xi Qing is famous, and loves to talk about poetry with the literati and ink writers on weekdays, so he asked Shang Su'e to build this Wuyue teahouse, and recruit talented people in the city to come here for recreation.

Xi Yunzhi just turned around, and then he saw clearly that the three shops that were now closed were all uniformly pasted with yellow paper on them, and it was written: The proprietor has something to do and will be closed for ten days.

She stood in the crowd, looking at the yellow paper, and couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips.

With her hands in her sleeves, Xi Yunzhi walked in the endless stream of people like a leisurely stroll, her beautiful appearance looked so young, so vibrant, so not afraid of danger, not afraid of injury, her calm temperament made her whole person seem to be injected with another kind of soul, becoming eye-catching and eye-catching.

In the past, she dressed herself up in Xi Mansion, and even if she spoke loudly, she would bring disaster to herself, so when she was very young, she learned to observe words and feelings, hide her emotions, and knew very well what kind of her she wanted to see in the Xi family.

Her cloak was safer than her bun, her coarse linen clothes were more reassuring than brocade clothes, and the people of the Xi family knew that they had done too many evil things to her, so even if she showed only a little talent and hatred, it might make those executioners kill her.

She thought that if her life was destined to be trampled under their feet, then even if she used all the strength of her life, she would have to spend it with them, and even if it was difficult, she would never give in half a step, because she knew that her submission represented the submission of her father, mother and Yunran, even if it was for them, she had to live firmly and forbearingly.

In those dark years, she prayed countless times that time would turn back or stop, go back to before the tragedy happened, or stop time to give her enough room to grow, but these prayers did not work, and when she fell into infinite despair, fate arranged for her a husband who could give her endless respect and freedom, God knows, how lucky she was that she was married to him, the man with a cold face and a warm heart, called Bu Qin.

Husband is the pure land in her heart, is a piece of rain in her dry life, he once said, I don't want her to see too much dirty, but what he doesn't know is that more dirty things, she has already seen thoroughly in her life before she met him, there are no dirty things in this world, can hit her heart, what she has to do now is to make those dirty things, dirty people public, so that their evil deeds are exposed in broad daylight, in order to comfort the dead.
