The woman kept her head down, and only when someone came closer did she see her face, a little familiar, and then think about it, isn't this the maid who has been following Xia Yi when she was in Cuiyue Lake that day?

The willow eyebrows of the slender dust were slightly raised, the eyes were deep, and the three thousand green silks were swinging without wind, calmly looking at the woman who came forward, like the blazing sun seemed to be setting off the cold and outstanding demeanor of the slender dust, "Are you the maid of the Xia Yi people?" ”

The woman was a little surprised, she was just a humble maid and she had only seen Xianchen once when she accompanied her young lady in Cuiyue Lake, but she didn't expect Xianchen to remember herself, the woman was a little excited in her heart, and felt that Xianchen was indeed a little different from other young ladies of the family, as for the difference? The woman couldn't say anything.

The woman lowered her head and bowed to Xian Chen, "Thank you Miss Ran for remembering the maid, the maid is the maid Lotus Xiang next to Miss Xia Yiren, my lady asked me to wait here for the eldest lady of the Ran family, my young lady said that she is willing to take out a thousand taels of silver, and then buy this yard back, and ask the eldest lady of the Ran family to make it convenient." ”

Xian Chen raised his eyes to look at Hexiang, "Hexiang, is your young lady stupid?" How can anyone buy something for a thousand taels of silver, and still sell it for a thousand taels of silver? Business will lose money if you do this, not to mention the side, look at you, I guess you've been waiting for me here for a few days, right? Manpower and time also have to be costed, since Xia Yi is so stupid that she can't even think of this, you still persuade her not to fight the idea of this yard again! ”

"Tut-tut......"

Xianchen shook his head and pouted, looking like he hated iron but not steel, "You go back and tell Xia Yiren that her IQ is not to get involved in buying a yard, and it is safer to stay at home." ”

"Ah......?"

Hexiang was stunned by Xian Chen, she was waiting for Xian Chen here, does this have anything to do with the manpower and time cost that Xian Chen said? If there is, it is also the cost of the Xia family, right?

Seeing that Xian Chen had left, He Xiang suddenly came back to her senses, and quickly stepped forward and stopped in front of Xian Chen, to see if He Xiang's appearance was a little urgent, as if she was bound to win this courtyard, "Miss Ran, the price is negotiable, how much silver do you say, my young lady will not let Miss Ran suffer." ”

Xian Chen smiled lightly and asked, "Do the Xia Yi people really want to buy this yard back?" ”

He Xiang nodded curtly, "Yes, Miss Ran, can you do a good job, give priority to selling to our family, the price is easy to say." ”

"That's good, as long as the price is good, it's no problem, I was going to sell this courtyard to His Royal Highness King Rui for five thousand taels of silver, since Miss Xia is so sincere that she wants to buy the courtyard back, I will sell it to Miss Xia for five thousand taels of silver."

Five thousand taels of silver, so much money, a small courtyard sells for five thousand taels of silver, this eldest lady of Ran Mansion is afraid that she is crazy, right?

Hexiang was stunned, she couldn't help but retreat, she stumbled and almost fell, her face was solemn, even if the Xia family was very rich, her young lady couldn't come up with so much money herself, the old man said, if the young lady couldn't think of a way to get that yard back, she wouldn't let the young lady out of the house for the rest of her life, and the eldest lady of the Ran family opened her mouth again, but what should she do if she called her young lady?

Hexiang was so anxious that tears were about to come out, "Miss Ran, please don't be joking, my young lady really wants to buy back that yard again, and please ask Miss to make a sincere price, that yard is not worth five thousand taels of silver." ”

Xian Chen's eyes were cold, and he looked at He Xiang and asked seriously: "Look at me, do you seem to be joking?" ”

Hexiang was shocked by the momentum of the fine dust, and looked at the thin dust sneeringly, not knowing how to answer the words of the thin dust.

Then I heard Xian Chen continue: "This courtyard has its valuable place, five thousand taels of silver is not much, this is only a basic base price, if anyone pays a higher price, I love money, and the one with the highest price will get it." ”

After Xian Chen finished speaking, he didn't bother with Hexiang anymore but walked towards the courtyard with Ah Feng and Yueque, Hexiang was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, and then rushed back to Xia Mansion to report the matter to her young lady.

As soon as Xian Chen walked to the door of the small courtyard, a girl sneaked out of the corner of the wall of the small courtyard, "Miss Ran, I can be regarded as waiting for you." The girl was smiling, and at first glance she was a very sophisticated person.

This girl looked very strange, Xian Chen recalled the young ladies and maids she saw in Cuiyue Lake that day, and after a while, she was sure that she had indeed not seen this girl, "Whose maid are you, how can you know me?" ”

The girl's eyes in the apricot eyes were dripping and spinning, and she looked like a clever ghost, "Miss Ran, the maid is Xiaoju, the maid of Lord Hu's family in the Dadu Protectorate, the eldest lady has never seen me, so she naturally thinks I am strange; But the maid can recognize the eldest lady of the Ran family at a glance, I heard that His Royal Highness King Xi is willing to scatter all the concubines in the house for the eldest lady of the Ran family, thinking that the eldest lady of the Ran family must be a beautiful woman. ”

is a well-spoken chrysanthemum, but Xianchen doesn't like this chrysanthemum.

Although this little chrysanthemum's apricot eyes are clever, the two thin lips are too good at talking, but they are a little cool, and the cheeks are like monkeys, and they look like sharp-beaked monkey gills.

Xian Chen smiled and asked, "You are also here to buy a yard for your master, right?" ”

"Yes." The little chrysanthemum replied with a flattering smile.

Xian Chen stood at the door of the small courtyard, turned her head and looked at the corner of the wall where Xiao Ju had just jumped out, she saw that there were still a few little heads poking out, Xian Chen smiled silently, it seems that there are really a lot of people who like Gu Ziyi, there are so many famous ladies who have ordered the maids in their mansions to wait for her near this courtyard under the poisonous sun.

On this hot day, there is not even a shade tree around the small yard, but it is difficult for these maids, Xian Chen still doesn't know why those young ladies dare not come to visit Ran's mansion and come to the mansion to discuss the sale of the yard.

"Wait, after I enter the yard, I will write a notice on the requirements and prices for selling the yard, and I will post it on this door when it is written, and you can come and see it when the time comes." Xianchen said to Xiao Ju.

After that, she instructed Ah Feng to open the yard.

The key to open the door in Ah Feng's hand was obtained for Xianchen by Gu Ziqi, the king of Xi, who made a special trip to Xia Mansion, otherwise, Xianchen would have to break into the door.

When they entered the yard, they found that the yard had been moved clean, where could they find any pen, ink, paper, and inkstone? Except for rockeries, big trees, houses, and pavilions, which can't be moved, everything else that can be moved away has been moved empty.

Fortunately, this place is close to Rui Wangfu, and Ah Feng is from Rui Wangfu, so he went to Rui Wangfu to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Xian Chen.

When everything was ready, Xianchen began to write a notice for the sale of the house, which was roughly as follows:

Notice of Sale

There is a small courtyard for sale, located next door to the Ruiwang Mansion, the reserve price is sold for 5,000 taels of silver, those who intend to buy, please go to the idle crane tower "leisure" private room to negotiate, the high price is preferred, do not disturb those who are too expensive.

Xianchen wrote three identical notices in a row, and after writing them, he instructed Yueque to paste them on the two doors and walls of the small courtyard.

After the notice was posted, Xiao Ju didn't look at the notice, she came to Xian Chen and bowed again, "Miss Ran, we maids don't know how to read, can you tell us what you wrote on this paper?" ”

Xianchen suddenly realized that she had forgotten about this, these girls are all from a hard background, they have been slaves since childhood, where can they have the opportunity to read?

Xianchen originally looked at these girls pitiful, hot days, it was not easy for them to wait for themselves around this yard under the sun, and felt that they were too hard, so Xianchen thought of writing a notice to advertise it, but he didn't expect that these girls were illiterate.

Since they are illiterate, then she will do good things to the end today, Xian Chen decided that each of the girls who came today can take a notice back, she and Ah Feng wrote a notice together, so that the result is twice the result with half the effort, and it will not be long before the girls who are waiting here can take the notice back to the house.

With a wave of pen and ink, a notice was written, and she handed it to Xiaoju, "Take it back and show it to your master, you will understand it when you see her." ”

Xiaoju took the notice and continued to ask: "Miss Ran, if you want to sell this yard anyway, you can sell it to my lady, how much money is not a problem, selling it to my lady is more cost-effective than selling it to other ladies in the house, at least she and Ran Huaying are not in the same group, you don't suffer a loss if you sell it to her, you can just make a price!" ”

It seems that the master behind this Xiaoju has also done his homework, knowing that he has a bad relationship with Ran Huaying, it is rare, Xianchen raised his eyes and glanced at Xiaoju again, "There is a request for me to sell the yard on the notice, and the priority is also written on it, you can take it back and pay the difference." ”

Seeing that Xian Chen didn't seem to understand his words, Xiao Ju simply said: "Miss Ran, my young lady is the sister of King Jing's concubine, you can think about it yourself." ”

Xian Chen's hand paused when he lifted the pen, and a drop of ink dripped from the tip of Xian Chen's pen, and the ink instantly smudged on the paper, like a drop of black blood sprinkled on the ground without temperature.

Xianchen was angry, she hated this kind of selfish villain who didn't know what to do and was self-righteous, didn't think about others and only considered herself, "It's just a side concubine of King Jing, it's King Jing himself who wants to buy my yard, and he must come according to the requirements in my notice, so I will sell it to him." ”

Xian Chen's tone was cold and firm, and Xiao Ju looked embarrassed when she heard it, she put away the notice, turned around and scolded, "What is it?" I don't know what to do, a poor man from the countryside, and he really thinks of himself as the eldest lady in Ran's mansion? ……”

Xiao Ju's words all fell into Xian Chen's ears, she really felt unworthy of her kindness, she was thinking about these girls, and wanted to write a notice to let them go back to make friends, but she didn't expect her kindness to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs.

In that case, it's okay if this good person doesn't do it," Ah Feng, go and get the notice in her hand back. ”

Radiant ......

It was the sound of the sword unsheathed.

The cold light unique to the cold weapon flashed in the sun, making people unable to open their eyes, and also making people shudder, the girls hiding in the corner not far away didn't know what was going on here, and looked at Ah Feng in horror one by one, and saw that the sword in Ah Feng's hand fell on Xiao Ju's neck.

Xiao Ju was suddenly frightened, her legs trembled like chaff, she looked at the sword around her neck in horror, and stammered: "Ran, Miss Ran, you, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Give me the notice, and let your master come to this courtyard to read the notice by himself." Xianchen said coldly.

Xiao Ju was really scared at the moment, she swallowed her saliva, "Notice, you gave it to me voluntarily, why, why do you want to take it back?" ”

"Because you don't deserve it."
