Chapter 53: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow

In the blink of an eye, it is March, the season of spring flowers.

Xi Yunzhi is five months pregnant, there is a dustpan on her belly, and the major shopkeepers of the store account list last month have already sent someone to send her quickly, and after she checked it, she drew a charge behind the list and brought it back to Luoyang as a voucher.

Princess Ji will come to visit her home almost every two days, and the two have grown from politeness at the beginning to a friendship now, Xi Yunzhi feels that Princess Ji has worked harder than her.

Although Princess Ji is not generous, her personality is more generous, she has no shelf as a princess, she provides a lot of convenient help to Xi Yunzhi in life, and often 'guides' Xi Yunzhi's way of investment, just like this day, they met to buy some rouge gouache, passing by a theater, she said to Xi Yunzhi boastfully:

"The location of this theater is the best among all the theaters in Beijing, the south is Suzaku Street, there is an endless stream of customers coming and going, if it weren't for the shopkeeper of this store will not be able to operate, always offending the guests, the business will definitely be much better than now." Princess Ji longed behind the sedan curtain: "If I have money, I will buy this garden, and I will only make money and not lose money." ”

Xi Yunzhi smiled silently, only glanced through the curtain, and lost interest, this theater is indeed as Princess Ji said, it is opened in a lot of traffic, but Princess Ji ignored a fatal problem, this home is so good but there is no business, it is definitely not because the boss can't do business, but because there are too many people on the street.

If you come here to listen to the play, there is a street where people come and go, where does the car stop, where does the sedan chair rest? She believes that as long as she has been here once and experienced the inconvenience, whether she wants to come a second time or not, she will have to consider it.

Princess Ji likes to do business, but the technology is not very good, Xi Yunzhi also looked at a few shops and properties that I heard that she bought by saving money, and they were always unsatisfactory, either the business was not good, or they could not be sold, but in Xi Yunzhi's opinion, those shops and properties all had some reasons why she would never buy them.

It's not that the orientation is not good, or the feng shui is not good, Princess Ji buys the property, more like to hear people, but she has no judgment, so she bought some useless things to go back.

Of course, these are just what Xi Yunzhi thinks in her heart, and she hasn't said it to her, after all, Princess Ji is now full of confidence in front of her, and aside from her identity, she feels that she has some skills compared to a woman like Xi Yunzhi who is hiding in the boudoir.

Xi Yunzhi felt that in addition to being a little arrogant, Princess Ji was basically a person who could get along with her, so she catered to her everywhere.

Although he didn't follow her instructions to buy those things, he developed another way of thinking for Xi Yunzhi.

The capital is not better than Luoyang, it is an important place in Beijing, there are many rules and regulations in all aspects, in Luoyang, the shop is open casually, but in the capital, if you want to open a shop, it may take a lot of time, there is no relationship and connections, and those complicated government procedures may not be able to get all the hands, but Xi Yunzhi found that in the sale of houses, there are not so many restrictions, basically they are bought and sold openly, the buyer and seller draw up their own contracts, sign and draw, and after the money is cleared, it will be calculated, and then see the opportunity to sell again. It's a payout.

This kind of business, as long as the funds are sufficient, there is no need to get up early and be greedy, and there is no need for manpower to pay, as long as there are a few people in the city who are specifically looking for housing.

Xi Yunzhi told Bu Tan about this idea at night, Bu Tan didn't have any opinions, just said whatever she did, as long as she didn't tire herself, just do it, the next day, she sent a team of ten people to escort her, Xi Yunzhi was worried at first that these people were not familiar with the capital and houses, but she was not too anxious, so she was thinking in her heart about giving them a month to get acquainted, but she didn't expect that they would go out for a day, and each of them brought her no less than ten messages, some wanted to buy a house, some wanted to sell a house, The whole nine yards.

Xi Yunzhi was a little dumbfounded, and couldn't help but ask what they used to do, and one of the tall black men replied neatly:

"Mrs. Hui, we used to be in the forward battalion, specializing in enemy intelligence."

“……”

Well, Xi Yunzhi retracted his distrust of them, and praised his husband's wit and supreme gratitude for his great help in bed at night.

Throughout the ages, it is estimated that no one has ever done the matter of using the spies of the forward battalion to explore the houses of the people.

I have to admit that her husband is really a talent.

***

With the joining of the scouts of the forward battalion, Xi Yunzhi's purchase and sale of houses went very smoothly, and in just a few days, several houses changed hands, and seeing that hundreds of thousands of taels easily entered her pocket, Xi Yunzhi was even more sure that this path was quite right.

Determined to do this line well, after all, she has never seen any large-scale trading places in the whole capital, since she wants to do it, then she has to have a look of doing it, she rented a small farm yard next door to Lanfu Garden, and found a few women who can read and break words to come back to keep accounts, women are careful, and their sex is stable, generally as long as the salary is enough, it is not easy to change careers, she asked them to sort out all the characteristics and properties of the house into the book, so as to find and compare them later.

On this day, Xi Yunzhi pruned the pandan orchid that moved from her father's small yard in Luoyang, the color of the flowers has changed from tender yellow to orange yellow, approaching maturity.

Ruyi heard someone knocking on the door, so he went to open it, and when he saw that it was Princess Ji, he didn't stop her, and invited her in.

Princess Ji walked into the small courtyard of the Bujia family and saw Xi Yunzhi standing in front of the flower garden, so she walked over quickly, and Ruyi chased after her and shouted:

"Madam, the princess has come to you."

“……”

Xi Yunzhi turned around and looked, and saw Princess Zhen sitting on the stool next to her with red eyes, with a pair of fragility that was not the same as usual.

Xi Yunzhi put down the scissors, sat beside her, took her hand softly, and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Xu Shi couldn't find someone to talk to for a long time, and as soon as Zhen heard Xi Yunzhi's inquiry, he couldn't care about his identity anymore, and threw himself on Xi Yunzhi's shoulder and cried:

"I can't live this day. I was so frugal that I didn't even dare to buy a decent garment for the sake of that family, but he was a good one, and he was extravagant, and brought into the house those who were uneasy and kind, and deceived to eat and drink, and I had only said a few words, and he yelled at me, saying that I was a woman, with long hair and short knowledge. ”

After Xi Yunzhi heard this, he generally understood what had happened.

In the past, she had heard her husband mention that King Ji was the thirteenth prince and had three elder brothers, and because of his mother's low background and no support from relatives, he was not favored by today's saints, so he was sent out of the palace early to set up another door, and the reward was only the minimum standard for the princes of previous dynasties.

Even for such a major event as marrying a wife, the saint just casually stuffed the daughter of a five-rank military attache to him, which is now the princess Zhen of Ji.

Although the thirteen princes are not favored, they are unwilling to fall, their hearts are higher than the sky, and they often use huge sums of money to meet capable people, just to make a difference, so that the current saint looks at him with admiration, but he has limited talent, and he always has the ability to mess up a good thing, which makes the saint dislike him more and more.

That's why he took the risk, and after hearing that her husband's leg injury had healed, he rushed to Luoyang and deliberately wooed him.

And whether he is favored or not, his identity as a prince is there, Luoyang Mountain is far from the emperor, Lu Xiu and Yang Xiao think that they have climbed up to the nobles, and they are stammering with him in every way, and he is indirectly helping Xi Yunzhi to take revenge on the Xi family.

patted Zhen's back, who was crying incessantly, Xi Yunzhi comforted softly:

"Don't cry. Men, always have a good face, he must just say it casually, not intentionally. ”

Zhen cried even more: "He just has a heart, knowing that the house is not rich, he still wants to do that, he called me, how to be the master of the house in the future?" As a princess, I have never lived a day of life as a real princess, which princess have you ever seen go to the street to buy vegetables and bargain, and which princess have you ever seen travel in the kind of sedan chair that has been used for more than ten years? After taking two steps, the board below will fall off, and I will have to repair it myself. ”

“……”

Xi Yunzhi recalled the situation when she met her on the street that day, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes that day, she would have thought that she was telling a joke at the moment, but she, the princess, was not as comfortable as an ordinary official wife, and King Ji's action was ......

Xi Yunzhi thought of when he was in Luoyang, he spent 20,000 taels of silver to rent Dicui Garden for half a year, such a large transaction, I don't know, I really think he is such a rich prince.

She must keep this well, and she can't let Princess Ji know about it.

comforted the crying Zhen again, Xi Yunzhi proposed to go to the tea to drink tea, and Zhen felt better.

The two sat in a sedan chair, and Xi Yunzhi saw that she was a little better, so she persuaded her more:

"Don't be annoyed, a man always has his reasons for doing things, why don't you always follow him, he just wants some face."

Zhen hugged the soft pillow in Xi Yunzhi's sedan chair to his chest, and said with a wilt:

"He brought so many strange men directly back to the backyard, how else can I give him face? It's good not to hit him on the spot. ”

Xi Yunzhi was laughed at by what she said, thought about it, and reminded: "Hey, don't you still have a riverside courtyard in your hand?" It's just right to house these people. lest they disturb the king's house. ”

After hearing this, Zhen thought for a while: "But that courtyard is outside the city, Linjiang is Linjiang, I bought it because I took a fancy to it in Linjiang, and I didn't want to let those reckless men live." ”

"Is the princess willing to live under the same roof with so many strange men?" Xi Yunzhi said coldly.

When Zhen heard this, his face changed: "Of course I don't want to." ”

Xi Yunzhi made a look of 'teachable', believing that the next thing would be handled by Princess Ji herself, and she didn't need to teach it anymore.

The two talked and laughed and walked into Juya Tea House. asked for an elegant room on the second floor, Princess Ji opened her mouth, ordered the best tea, the best dim sum, and then happily pulled Xi Yunzhi to the second floor.

Because her pull was too strong, Xi Yunzhi didn't stand firmly, so she staggered a step and crashed into a noble lady who was walking down.

"Where did the reckless woman come from, who dared to ram our wife."

Xi Yunzhi stood at the bottom, and apologized without seeing the person's appearance, after all, she was the one who hit the person first.

"I'm sorry for this lady, I didn't see the road ahead clearly and collided with my wife, please forgive me."

As soon as Xi Yunzhi's words were finished, there was a 'snap', and a fiery slap hit her in the face, and she was suddenly beaten, Xi Yunzhi and Zhen were stunned, Xi Yunzhi covered her cheeks and looked up, and she knew it.

This one who slapped her coldly was not someone else, it was Xi Yunzheng with fairy eyes and a picturesque face, she changed into a noble lady, no wonder Xi Yunzhi didn't recognize it at first.

"Cheap, people came to the capital, she is still cheap, people, this slap is to teach you to walk to look forward, have you learned?"
