225. The slums in the capital

Holding the rice balls, the two sat at the table on the roof, eating and chatting, and they didn't even bring Shi'er.

Ying's family knew that they had something to discuss, so they didn't let Shi'er follow.

"What are you going to do?" It seems that the old lady can't hold her breath, especially when Beichen Ao didn't go back for the New Year, and the whole capital has spread all over the city, maybe it is more confirmed that he is going to join the news, so the old lady did it.

"I don't plan to," eating the rice balls, Beichen Ao said very calmly: "My mother is making trouble every once in a while, just leave her alone!" ”

Yan Lian glanced at him, hesitated for a moment and said, "I can ignore her, but ...... Beichenqing's attitude made me unhappy, "I originally thought that after they became a gang, Beichenqing was on his side, but I didn't expect that not only did he not help, but he also revealed his home address to Xiang Lanxin, did he feel that he had put up too much?"

Perhaps, is he pushing behind his back and pushing Xiang Lanxin or Xiang Wanxin to him at random, so that he will not be too bored and too busy?

Or, it's not bad to push it to him, at least in this way, Beichen Ao will have no worries.

In fact, when Beichen Ao came here on the day of Ying Wenjie's marriage, he really didn't want to stop them. However, Beichenao's words of "mine is hers" frightened Beichenqing.

He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be when Ying Yanlian, who had the grain source in her hands, was in control of the business and silver of the entire capital again? Don't talk about Beichen Mansion, even other people in the capital can't afford to provoke her.

Thinking of this, he thought about it, let Ying Yanlian enter the door, but he couldn't let her hold the power, so when the old lady proposed this, he didn't refute it, but told Xiang Lanxin the address of Ying's house.

He did this for the sake of the family's interests, so it was understandable to offend Ying Yanlian. He was a hard worker, but Yan Lian didn't know it, she just felt that Beichenqing was too hypocritical, and he was simply a traitor.

"He has his considerations," Beichen said impartially, and then frowned and said: "After the Lantern Festival, I will send the selected people here to protect here,"

"Well," this is especially important, so she doesn't say anything.

"By the way, what are you going to do with the shop and land I gave to Wen Jie?" Beichen Ao thought of the title deed he gave, so he asked thoughtfully.

He knows that Ying Wenjie is not a business material, and a person who does not have an assertive opinion will not have much courage. This Ying Wenjie is okay at home, when he goes out, everything takes Yan Lian first, such a person will retreat or be confused when he encounters things, and he is not reliable!

When he made a decision, he understood that she was the only one who could solve this matter. He wanted to know if she had the ability to support all the ...... in Beichen Mansion.

If Yan Lian knew Beichen Ao's calculations, she would not have made the next move. After she knew Beichen Ao's thoughts, she wanted to cry without tears, and she couldn't run away if she wanted to.

"This ......," Yan Lian frowned after being changed the subject, "Let me think about it, "It's not easy to do business in the capital." Especially the fanfare sent by Beichen Ao, people only think that the Beichen family has sold the shop, and they will not think that it is Beichen Ao who gave it away.

Without the protection of Beichen Ao, she felt a little suspenseful if she wanted to do business in the capital.

Yan Lian found that in her bones, she still likes to take risks, especially after meeting Beichen Ao.

After knowing that the land was in the capital and was worth some silver, her mind began to move. She borrowed 10,000 taels of silver from Beichen Ao, and only got nearly 1,000 acres of land in Guquan Village. And one of his Beichen proud shops is not worth this amount, it is simply enviable and jealous!

The land in the capital is quite expensive, this is Yan Lian's mind.

After the Lantern Festival, there was nothing major, Yan Lian proposed to Beichen Ao, saying that she wanted to go to the capital to take a look...... Beichen Ao knew what she had in mind, and she had to go back to the Battle Palace's mansion to arrange it, so she didn't refuse.

The two didn't ride horses, which was too ostentatious.

The carriage given by Beichen Ao is from the War King's Mansion, Yan Lian is afraid that it will be too ostentatious, so she modified it slightly, but it is much more ordinary, and it is just outside. It's still the same comfort inside, which makes Yan Lian feel envious, with silver, it's good, and she will enjoy it.

The person driving the car is Ying Wenjie, no way, no groom. Compared with Beichen Ao, Ying Wenjie is at least better. Yan Lian was afraid that she would be hungry on the road, so she asked Xie to prepare some pastries to suppress her hunger.

After arriving in the capital, Beichen Ao found his own groom and gave Ying Wenjie a silver ticket of one hundred taels, making him feel that he was going to buy something if he was missing, which frightened Ying Wenjie.

Ying Wenjie naturally shirked it, although he was married, but he had never taken so much silver, but he was embarrassed, and people who didn't know thought that Beichen was bullying him.

"Take it, he has been eating and drinking for nothing in our house for so long, and it is not much to receive him a hundred taels of silver tickets," Yan Lian distorted Beichen Ao's kindness, and said with a wink at Wen Jie: "Go and see what you like, buy some things for Qiao'er," It's not good to welcome other girls at this time, and you will accept it in the future."

"Sister," after being ridiculed, Ying Wenjie's face turned red and he protested embarrassedly.

"What's so embarrassing, she's married to you, and she's not sneaky, go ahead, pick something good for others, don't be stingy, you know?" She knew that Ying Wenjie was good, but this one was good, and she was a little dumbfounded.

(Miss Ying, people are not like you who have experienced two lives, this is a native of Guquan Village, and the most powerful person I have ever seen is the Du family, what kind of character do you want him to develop?) Besides, you are a human being in two lives, and you still smoke the same feelings, so don't mock others! )

"It would be nice if Wenjie could be half as smart and capable as you," Beichen Ao said with some sighs after watching Ying Wenjie leave, who was at a loss.

"He's just honest, and when he gets married, he will grow up when he gets married, and he will grow up," she didn't want to change anyone's character, because they changed their lives because of their own participation, so she didn't want to change more.

If there are any big changes in the second room of the Ying family, I am afraid it will cause more twists and turns.

"Let's go," Yan Lian watched Ying Wenjie disappear into the crowd and instructed the groom to move forward.

Seeing the cleanliness in front of her, Yan Lian's brows furrowed deeply. She instructed the groom to go to the poorest place in the capital, but she didn't expect that there would be such a house in the capital.

It was a scene of wind and rain, completely different from the prosperity they had come all the way.

Even Guquan Village is much better than here. Not only are the houses squab, but most of them have not been repaired for years, and if there is a source of fire, everything here will be burned.

"What are you doing here?" Beichen Ao saw that her eyes were full of shock, and she stood stupidly, without saying what she wanted to do, so she asked suspiciously. "Do you want to buy someone?"

"Buying people?" Yan Lian was shocked, knowing that the people here had become fish in the eyes of the people on the other side of the capital, so she shook her head and said, "No, I'm just here to see the place,"

"Look at the place? That's it? What's there to see? "The smell of it, don't talk about him, even the groom lowered his head and covered his nose with his sleeve.

If it's summer, will there still be people living here? The smell alone makes people faint.

"Beichen Ao, do you know how big this place is?" Yan Lian endured the strange smell in the air and asked seriously.

"I don't know," if it weren't for the groom leading the way, he wouldn't have known that there was such a place in the capital, which was simply shocking. "What are you asking for?"

Yan Lian turned to look at him, her eyes showed a gleam, and then she smiled charmingly: "Secret! “

Beichen frowned proudly, she really couldn't understand what the purpose of this piece of land she wanted? Not to mention that the house is dilapidated, even the strange smell is not something that people can bear.

Yan Lian walked on the path, although she was not the best dressed, but at least it was not tattered, because of the attention of many people, but no one was willing to approach her.

Looking at the few children who looked at her with timidity in their eyes but curious, Yan Lian thought of Shi'er, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart. If he hadn't survived, Shi'er's situation would have been worse than theirs, right!?

As soon as she thought of this, Yan Lian remembered the pastries on the carriage, turned to Beichen and said proudly: "Let the groom take out the pastries on the carriage and distribute them to these children!" ”

Beichen Ao saw the emaciated and almost old-fashioned children, nodded, turned around and told the groom to do it immediately.

"Have you always lived here?" The middle-aged woman was attracted by the pastries in her child's hands, and when she saw the two people in front of her, she felt inferiority complex in her heart, and she didn't even dare to stare at others.

After hearing the polite inquiry, the woman nodded, and looked at her child's food in a mess, and many pastries fell to the ground, so she quickly admonished before she spoke: "Yes, our ancestors have lived here for generations,"

"And what do you do for a living?" Yan Lian asked curiously.

"I don't have land at home, so I help them work, and I can barely support a few ......children," said the woman, seeing the child's emaciated body.

Can this also be called feeding children? Seeing the skinny and bones, a few children who were more terrifying than the original Shi'er, Yan Lian's fist clenched, then loosened, took a deep breath and asked, "Are you unwilling to change?" ”

"How to change?" It had never been a thought of it, so the woman's eyes were full of consternation.

"Why do you have to stay here? There is no land, there is no food, everything has to be bought with silver, and you cling to this piece of land, do you want your next generation to live the life you want? Yan Lian's mood was very calm, and she just asked calmly from their point of view.

The woman was silent, and looked at the children around her, some hers, some neighbors, and some relatives, but all of them were thin and pitiful. But the children seem to have become accustomed to this kind of life, they don't have enough to eat, they don't have enough clothes, they all bear it, and no one asks what to do.

She had already suffered enough sins, and if even the children had to endure such pain, she felt even more painful when she thought about it.

"What if you don't want to? Although they live in the capital, they are very different from the other side, "They have also envied and complained about God's injustice, but in fact, they still have to work hard to live, running around for a living, and nothing helps."

"How many families do you have here?" After Yan Lian calculated in her heart, she asked softly.

"Added up, there are almost 200 households,"

"Is there a title deed?" That's what she wants to know most.

"Yes, it was all handed down by the older generation, and no one dared to leave here, for fear that if they left here, there would be nothing, so the title deed is the only guarantee!" Besides, even if there is a title deed, it is useless, who would want this place?

Beichen watched silently, and after hearing Yan Lian's conversation with the woman, he slowly sensed her thoughts, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

What is the use of this place, even if it is bought? Far from the rich and noble, building a house, no one will want it. What can you do with it if you don't build a house? Do you want to turn it all into cultivated land? That's too much labor to be needed, and it's not worth it at all.

Yan Lian talked a lot to the woman, and after asking everything about this place, she smiled and said goodbye to the children who exuded kindness in ...... eyes.

"You want to buy the land here?" As soon as he got into the carriage, Beichen Ao opened his mouth to ask.

Yan Lian didn't hide it, but nodded and said seriously: "Yes!" ”

"More than 200 households, do you know how much silver it costs?" She still knows how much she has a family. If she hadn't been deceived by her eldest brother into taking so much grain, she might have silver in her hand, but now, she has at most a thousand taels of silver in her hand, at least not much.

"I probably know," she had already calculated.

"Where does the money come from?" I've helped once, but I won't help a second time, which will make the eldest brother more wary of her.

He and his eldest brother have supported each other all the way, for the eldest brother, his life is not important, the most important thing is Beichen Mansion, so he is so disgusted that his mother wants to tie Beichen Mansion to the Xiang family.

The water in the capital is too deep, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed, so the eldest brother has to be careful every step he takes, so as not to be criticized or involved...... It's a pity that my mother never understood.

What he hopes to see is that the eldest brother can accept Yan Lian and know how good Yan Lian is, so this time, he definitely can't help anymore.

Perhaps knowing Beichen Ao's thoughts, Yan Lian immediately showed a determined smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you break the bank!" ”

"Really?" In this way, Beichen Ao is even more curious, how can she get together so much silver?

The land price here is completely different from that in Guquan Village!
