Chapter Ninety-Nine: Title Deed
"Auntie, do you think Zhitong has become beautiful in the past few years?" Zhao Zhitong raised her head again, shook her head in front of Li's eyes, and then stood up and lifted the hem of her skirt and turned in a circle, "Auntie, you said, have I grown into a big girl?" ”
Li was infected by her lively temperament, and there was a sincere smile on her face. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Come on, come to my aunt's place, and see if she has grown into a big girl."
Zhao Zhitong immediately leaned the whole person over, and Li Shi looked at it with a pretended contemplation, "Big eyes, upturned small mouth, white skin, and taller, well, she has become a big girl." ”
When Zhao Zhitong heard this, her black eyes rolled around, grabbed Su Rui's arm, and laughed: "I'm a big girl, and my cousin is also a big girl." ”
Su Rui stretched out her finger and poked her eyebrows, "You're a little girl!" ”
Zhao Zhitong pouted, tilted her head on Su Rui's shoulder, and coquettishly, "Cousin, I haven't seen you for several years, Zhitong misses you so much, why don't you come to Jiangzhou to play this time, Jiangzhou is fun, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, you can also row boats, and there is a lot of food, and there are many, many things that are not available in the capital......"
Li glanced at her daughter, worried that she would really say that she was going to go, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "Zhitong, you were still a little baby when you came to the capital last time, and you stayed in the house every day, of course you don't know the benefits of the capital, just say that the Luo River in the west of the city, the big and small boatyards are boating on the river, the scenery is infinite, if you want to go, my aunt will arrange it and let your cousin take you there." ”
The Zhao family in Jiangzhou has long since declined, and she doesn't want her precious daughter to live in such a poor and sour family.
"Really?" Zhao Zhitong clapped her hands excitedly, and hugged Su Rui's arm and shook it back and forth, "Then I'll go boating on the river with my cousin." ”
Su Rui was shaken by her headache, raised her hand and pressed her forehead, Zhao Zhitong grabbed Su Rui's hand, her eyes shining.
"Cousin, your bracelet is so beautiful!" Saying this was like an eyeball stuck to the bracelet that Su Rui was wearing.
Su Rui's vanity was greatly satisfied, a trace of pride flashed in her eyes, but she said: "When I got up late this morning, I took a bracelet and wore it, and everything in my jewelry box is better than this bracelet." ”
After Zhao Zhitong heard this, her eyes lit up a little more. Li smiled and beckoned the eldest girl to take out a sandalwood box, "Auntie knows that you are coming, and I prepared a pearl hairpin yesterday, do you like it?" ”
Zhao Zhitong hurriedly took the wooden box and opened it, and inside was a coral-inlaid silver core bead hairpin.
"Auntie, is this really for me?" Zhao Zhitong pinched it in her hand and looked left and right, her eyes kept rolling, her eyes were full of joy, "I like it so much, thank you, auntie." ”
"You kid, what are you polite to your aunt." Li said with a smile, "Your room is next door, next to your cousin, I changed the new bedding yesterday, you see what is missing, just tell my aunt, just think it is in your own home, what you want to eat, what you want to buy, just tell your subordinates to do it." ”
Zhao Zhitong nodded again and again, and Li sent two more maids to serve her. After a long journey for several days, Zhao Zhitong was also tired, took a bath, changed into a refreshing gauze skirt, and the maid brought tea and snacks, and porridge steamed buns, but she took care of them meticulously and thoughtfully.
Zhao Zhitong sat by the window and glanced at the scenery of the Agarwood Pavilion through the window lattice, and the bottom of her eyes was no longer as clear as Fang Cai, and gradually became gloomy.
"Cousin!" With this voice, Su Rui walked in, "I haven't been to the house for so long, I'll take you for a good walk...... Jinyuan is good, a few new flowers have been added recently, let's go to Jinyuan first. ”
"Good!" Zhao Zhitong smiled sweetly, the gloom in her eyes suddenly disappeared, and she was replaced by a bright and brilliant look like bright sunshine.

Tong Hai drove the carriage to the west of the city, and half an hour later the carriage stopped in front of the door of a salt shop, and a banner with the word "Gu" written on the eaves of the door was hung.
Su Ximei opened the curtain and took a look.
"It's this one." She said, jumping out of the carriage.
When the shopkeeper of the salt shop saw someone coming to the door, he greeted him with a smile, "Girl, what do you need?" ”
Su Ximei bent her lips, "You're the shopkeeper Mo, right?" ”
"It's old age."
"I have something important to talk to the shopkeeper." Su Ximei walked to the shop as she spoke, and the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, seeing that this girl was very upright, there must be something important, so she ordered the guys in the shop to serve tea, and hurriedly raised her heels.
"Girl, I don't know what I want to talk to the old man?" Shopkeeper Mo felt that it must be his own tendon that was wrong, what would be the important thing for a little girl?
However, on his face, Shopkeeper Mo still made a patient listening appearance.
Su Ximei didn't have any extra words, took out the deed in her sleeve and spread it on the table. Shopkeeper Mo glanced at her in surprise, then picked up the deed and took a closer look, the seal on it was indeed real......
"Girl, is this ......?" asked Shopkeeper Mo puzzled.
Su Ximei smiled, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just here to inform Shopkeeper Mo that in the future, the proceeds of this shop will be directly handed over to the people I sent." ”
She didn't know anything about Xie's past, so she couldn't mention the past, she could only talk about the future.
Shopkeeper Mo was a little embarrassed, "Girl, although the owner of this salt shop has never seen it, but it is all in accordance with the rules of accounting and paying money, the girl is going to take away the monthly income this time, how can the old man have an explanation, you see this is good, you talk to the owner, see whose hands the income belongs to the most secure." ”
This is actually very euphemistic, what the shopkeeper means is that she has no right to ask about the income of the salt shop, unless the owner nods. After all, for so many years, Shopkeeper Mo's money was handed over to the owner, and she suddenly came over with the deed, and Shopkeeper Mo would inevitably be a little cautious.
"And who did you hand it over?" Su Ximei asked, and there was no ups and downs on her face. She had the title deed, but she didn't know who was taking it, which sounded suspicious, but she asked anyway.
The deed is in her hands, and she should be the one who is right.
Shopkeeper Mo hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "The old man has never seen the owner, the owner will send someone to pick it up every month, and the old man is only responsible for keeping accounts and paying the money." ”
Su Ximei thought, could it be that this shop was really rented out by the Xie family? Xie has been missing for seven years, how can she send someone to collect cash every month, in other words, if Xie is in the capital, how can she still stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion if she attaches so much importance to the Xuantie Box?
