Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong stared at the title deed that appeared out of thin air in front of them, a little unclear.

Master Xu Si smiled and said, "Oh, take it, this is the dowry that Daddy saved for you!" Now it is relatively small, and when the spring of next year begins, there will be more. ”

Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong were suddenly startled.

Xu Qijin's face was full of worry: "Daddy, where did you get this title deed?" ”

At the beginning, the property under the name of Sifang, except for a few houses and furnishings in the house, could be sold, but they were all sold by Master Xu Si. Later, Master Xu Si had a good face and refused to ask his two daughters for money, even if he invited a friend to dinner, he had to take his beloved things to the pawnshop for money.

Just now in the carriage, Ping An said that Master Xu Si had not entered the pawnshop for a long time, and Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong both thought that it was because Master Xu Si was busy during this time and had not socialized with his friends. Now when I see this title deed, I feel that something is wrong.

Xu Qirong thought, yes, the third uncle came here a few days ago, and his father and third uncle also drank outside a few times together. Daddy is the master, the third uncle is a guest, Daddy can't let the third uncle pay for the wine! She and her sister gave the money, but her father refused to ask for it, and he didn't enter the pawnshop, so where did his father get the money?

The two sisters both stared at Master Xu Si with burning eyes.

Master Xu Si smiled: "This scares you? This title deed was bought by my father after making money from a partnership in business. Scorching, don't look at this land is not very big, but all the fruits that can be planted are cherries, peaches, grapes, and tomorrow summer, you will have a good mouth. ”

He pointed to the title deed in front of Xu Qijin and said, "These acres of land are all flower beds." I passed by this spring and saw that you little girls love these flowers and plants, right next to the scorching fruit forest. So they bought it together. ”

Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Listening to what Master Xu Si said, this fruit forest and flower garden are not deserted, but are taken care of by special fruit farmers and flower farmers. Xijing City is located in the north, and the fruit forest is just that, and the flower garden is not easy to take care of. Naturally, the price is not cheap. His own father originally relied on the person who went into the pawnshop to exchange silver. Suddenly bought this flower garden and fruit forest, Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong were naturally surprised.

Xu Qijin thought about it and glanced at the land deeds. smiled and said, "I don't know who Daddy is doing business with?" I listen to my dad on weekdays, and my father's friends are all fairy characters who eat flowers and dew and don't eat fireworks in the world, when did they have such a business? ”

Xu Qirong pursed his lips and looked at Master Xu Si with wide eyes. also looks very curious.

Master Xu Si laughed. Then he said, "Daddy can't have friends who can do business?" Daddy didn't expect him to have such means, and he was also a friend he had just made, so naturally you haven't heard of it. ”

Xu Qirong couldn't help but ask: "Where did Daddy get the capital to do business?" ”

Master Xu Si said with a smile: "You children don't understand it, and you don't have to talk about the word silver in this world. My friend regarded me as a friend, and I had done him a little favor, and he was grateful for it, and he had seen my father at the pawnshop, and knew that I had no money in my hand. and he only gave me fifty taels of silver. ”

When Xu Qijin heard this, he suddenly stood up and walked to Master Xu Si. It startled Master Xu Si. Xu Qijin looked anxious: "Daddy! Although Sister Jin has little knowledge, she has also seen some of the world with senior executives, how can there be such a business in this world, in less than a month, the capital of fifty taels of silver can earn two fields! The benefits are more than quadrupled! Daddy, you're afraid you've been deceived! ”

Xu Qirong was also worried: "Does Daddy know what kind of business your friend is doing?" ”

Seeing that his two daughters were in a hurry like this, Master Xu Si was a little puzzled, and said in surprise: "Naturally, my friend's ability to do business is high because of the great profits, and in order to thank me for helping him, they let me take a ride." If he can't earn so much, then wouldn't he put money into it himself? Who wants to do such a loss-making business? As for what kind of business you are doing, you also know that Daddy has never liked this, so he didn't ask much. ”

Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong were choked by Master Xu's words, and they really didn't know how to refute him.

Who knew that Master Xu Si said again: "My friend is clever, what are these two pieces of land, he said, wait for next spring, how can the money be used to buy three or four shops." However, he also said that there are many people in this business, and they know that I am a person who is afraid of trouble, so they say that they will take me to do it for two years, and when I have some family background, they will not take me. ”

Xu Qirong was shocked, if what this person said was true, where was he taking his father to do business, he was obviously using business to buy a family foundation for his father! According to the speed of a few acres of land in these 20 days, what a family business to earn in two years! Most of the people my father has friends with clean sleeves, how can I know such a friend?

Xu Qijin frowned: "Daddy, it's just a friend I just met, how can he be willing to help Daddy so much!" People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and it is better for Daddy to be careful. ”

She originally thought that the friend her father said was Miss Qi next door, but now it seems that if it is really Miss Qi, why did she make an agreement for these two years? Besides, the man said that the money he earned next spring would be enough for his father to buy three or four shops, and although Miss Qi liked her father, she was incompetent and did not have such a big hand.

Master Xu Si's eyes widened, and he was a little unhappy: "Jin'er, how can you say that!" If you get along, you can make friends if you know each other for a day, but if you don't get along, you can't say a few words when you know each other for a lifetime. How can friendship between friends be measured by the length of time they have known each other? ”

Xu Qirong was about to cry angrily by Master Xu Si, she knew that her father was pure, but she didn't expect him to be so simple that he could be said to be stupid! After thinking about it, it's right, if my father didn't have this character, he wouldn't have been fooled into rebelling in his previous life!

I couldn't cry or laugh at the moment, so I had to explain to Master Xu Si with Xu Qijin, and finally convinced Master Xu Si that fifty taels of silver, even if it was selling illicit salt, it would be impossible for the money earned in just twenty days to buy these pieces of land, let alone the three or four shops in the spring.

Master Xu Si was still a little dumbfounded: "Then why did my friend say that?" ”

Xu Qirong's fourth master looked a little shaken, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs." ”

Master Xu Si looked at Xu Qijin hesitantly, and Xu Qijin nodded: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs." ”

Master Xu Si was a little frustrated, sighed, and finally took the title deed that Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong returned to him, and said: "It's late today, I'll go to my friend tomorrow to make it clear, I don't want this title deed, and I won't mix the business." ”

Xu Qijin nodded and persuaded softly: "Yes, Daddy, if that person is still entangled, Daddy will come back and tell Jin'er and Zhuozhuo that our sisters have grown up and can always help Daddy come up with some ideas." ”

Master Xu Si nodded randomly, flicked his sleeves and left.

Xu Qijin and Master Xu Si really listened to their words, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Qijin thought for a while, and said to Xu Qirong softly: "If Daddy had a virtuous helper, he would not be pure enough to listen to such absurd words." ”

Xu Qirong knew what Xu Qijin meant by what she said to her, thought about it, and said, "Let's go back to Lanzhi Courtyard in a few days, there are some things, and it is better for grandmother to intervene than for the two of us to be juniors." ”

Xu Qijin nodded and said with a smile: "Our family has grown up!" ”

After all, Master Xu Si regarded the other party as a friend, so no matter how the two daughters asked, they did not reveal the identity of that person. Therefore, even if Master Xu Si said that he would go to the person to ask him about it the next day, Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong did not completely put their minds at ease.

Early in the morning of the second day, the two sisters accompanied Master Xu Si for breakfast, and then urged Master Xu Si to go out. Master Xu Si couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to pack up and go out with peace.

As soon as the fourth master Xu came back, a little maid guarding the door ran to report to Xu Qirong, and Xu Qirong hurriedly pulled Xu Qijin, who was sitting in front of the embroidery frame, to greet him.

Master Xu Si didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he was blocked by his two daughters and asked.

sighed: "We can't help but think of people as too sinister. The friend only said that since I don't want to, he won't take me to do business with him in the future, and it's okay for everyone to eat and drink together. Then he returned the fifty taels to me. ”

Then he took out the land deeds from his sleeve and handed them to Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong, and said, "Well, you should still take this land deed, he said that he thanked me for helping him last time." ”

After a pause, he said: "It's not a trivial matter for me to help him, since he has the heart to give, I will continue." ”

Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong didn't expect this result, and after looking at the title deed, they couldn't help but look at each other a little.

In the end, Xu Qijin reacted first and said with a smile: "Our family is not short of food or drink, and we don't understand the business, so we won't blindly participate." The matter is already over, and there is no need to mention it later. Since this title deed is a thank you gift, let's take it first. Another day, Daddy will find another reason and just send him something of equal value. ”

Master Xu Si nodded, and at this time, he felt more and more that he had been too naïve before, and said, "It's still Jin'er who thinks thoughtfully, so let's do it." ”

Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong nodded, this can be regarded as completely relieved, this matter, no matter what it is, is also over.

Xu Qirong thought that this matter was over, but a few days later, Ye Lin asked someone to bring a letter over, saying that there were many patients in the hospital and he couldn't leave, so he asked Miss Xu Wu to go over to check the accounts. After this audit, Xu Qirong found that something was wrong. (To be continued......)
