It was the first time Li Yanqing heard his wife ask him for help, so he asked with a smile: "Tell me, what do you need me to help with?" ”

"That's the case, Tang Yuan'er came to me this morning, she wanted to buy a few pieces of residential land, but there were too many people in line, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get a good lot, so let's see if I could settle down from the inside......."

"Wait a minute!"

Li Yanqing hurriedly stopped Cao Yun, "Who did Tang Yuan'er buy land for?" The Wang family also bought hundreds of acres of good land in Qiantang County, and they are not short of land! ”

"It seems that Ah Luo's parents wanted to buy it, and she begged Tang Yuan'er, and Tang Yuan'er turned around and found my head."

A Luo is Wang Gui's concubine, a native of Taiyuan Mansion, and gave birth to a daughter to Wang Gui, Li Yanqing understood as soon as he heard it, this must be because Tang Yuan'er was cautious again, and he didn't want to sell the Wang family's land to A Luo's parents, so he hit the idea of Beicheng.

At this time, Zhao Jinluo, who was drinking tea on the side, suddenly asked, "Is there any land for sale in the city now?" ”

In the past few days, Zhao Jinluo has been asking about land everywhere in the city, although the imperial court will build a horse house for them, but Zhao Jinluo still wants to build a private house of ten acres, and she doesn't want to buy the Cao family's land, but she has asked for a few days and has found nothing.

Li Yanqing waved his hand, "This is the land where the government is selling civilian houses, in the northernmost Huantang River, each household can only buy a maximum of three acres, it has nothing to do with you, I have promised to help you solve your land, don't worry!" ”

"How can I not be in a hurry! It's been a few days, and you don't care about it at all, are you my brother-in-law? ”

Zhao Jinluo's big mouth is unscrupulous, everyone is used to it, everyone looked at Li Yanqing and smiled without saying a word, Li Yanqing was helpless, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "The Xiang family has a separate house, covering an area of exactly ten acres, and it is also close to the West Lake, the official price is five thousand taels of silver, it was originally an official residence for me, I will give it to you!" ”

Zhao Jinluo was overjoyed, "Ten acres of official mansion you live in is too small, sell it to me, I'll go and hang the plaque first, and then I'll give you the silver when I turn around." ”

"You can go whenever you want, I've already taken the house."

Next to him, Cao Yun asked again: "Official, is the thing you asked just now okay, if it's a favor, help her, if it's troublesome, forget it." ”

"Of course it's not troublesome, but how many acres are they going to buy?"

"It seems that I want to buy three acres!"

Li Yanqing nodded, "I'll say hello to Weizhi County, and you can ask Tang Yuan'er to go directly to the county government to report my name." ”

"Will this affect the reputation of the officials?"

"This kind of small thing can't affect her reputation, and it's not for free, it's just a queue."

At this time, Hu Qing'er smiled and said: "Since it is profitable, let's also buy some land and build a house to rent out to make money!" ”

Without waiting for Li Yanqing to speak, Cao Yun hurriedly interrupted Hu Qing'er's words, "Everyone else can buy it, but we can't buy it, the rules here are set by the officials, in case we buy it, others will say that the officials use their power for personal gain, even if they are not punished, they will have a bad reputation." ”

At this time, Li Yanqing couldn't wait to hug his wife and kiss him fiercely, if his wife is like this, what more can his husband ask for! Li Yanqing suddenly had an idea in his heart, anyway, his wife has nothing to do at home, so he can find a small thing for them to do and make some fat money.

Thinking of this, Li Yanqing smiled and said: "These properties that are sold to the family, there is a teahouse that no one wants, are you interested in buying it and doing a small business?"

Cao Yun and Shishi smiled and didn't speak, but Hu Qing'er asked anxiously, "What kind of teahouse is it, and how much does it cost to sell?" ”

"It's called Huangjianzui Teahouse, opposite Fengle Building, covering an area of about five acres of land, and it only costs 5,000 taels of silver."

"Five thousand taels!"

Hu Qing'er exclaimed, her heart quickly converted, and her eyes widened, "That's twenty-five thousand, big brother, this is too expensive!" ”

Zhao Jinluo'poof! A sip of tea squirted out, and he quickly wiped the corners of his mouth and smiled: "If you don't want it, just give it to me!" ”

Zhao Jinfu hurriedly pulled the second sister, "Second sister, don't be so greedy, okay, you want everything!" ”

Cao Yun smiled slightly, "The second sister has been buying land these days, she must know the land market, tell us about it!" ”

Hu Qing'er also reacted, "I didn't say no, I just don't understand the market." ”

"Alright! I'll tell you about it. ”

Zhao Jinluo rolled up his sleeves, like a storyteller, "It is said that the land price of Qiantang County is expensive to the west and south, the closer to the West Lake, the higher the price, the same as close to the south of the city, the price is also soaring, take the land price of Fengle Building, five thousand taels of silver per acre, this is still the land price a few months ago, now you can count out 10,000 taels of silver per mu, no one is willing to sell it to you, you can't buy it at all, Huang Jianzui Teahouse is opposite Fengle Building, the land price is the same, the teahouse of five acres of land only sells 5,000 taels of silver, do you say it is cost-effective?" ”

Hu Qing'er calculated in her heart, and her apricot eyes widened again, "My mother, the price of land alone is five times the profit, big brother, how can no one want it if it's so cheap?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled, that's because other industries make more money, and the shops with more than 20,000 taels of silver are not looked down upon by ordinary magnates, so of course they don't want to waste their precious places on this.

"So be it! There are exactly five of you, and each of you will pay a thousand taels of silver to buy it, and the profit will be divided into five in the future, and everyone will have fat powder money. ”

This idea is good, everyone happily ran back to the room to get the silver, even Cao Yun such a steady lady also felt that it was harmless to do a small deal, she also went back to get the silver, Zhao Jinluo came to Hangzhou this time is a temporary decision, did not bring silver, and the five thousand taels of silver to buy the house have to be temporarily owed.

She didn't want to give up such a good opportunity to make money, so she hurriedly whispered to her sister Zhao Fujin: "Fourth sister, you help me cushion first, and I'll give it back to you when I get back." ”

"Second sister, or I'll come out for you!"

"This can't be done, my sister will settle the account, this is my fat powder money, of course I will pay it myself!"

Zhao Jinfu didn't insist anymore, and hurried back to the yard to get the money.

Needless to say, everyone has their own rich dowry, and the monthly money is also very considerable, accumulating over time, of course, it is worth a lot of money, but this money is their own, even if it is a colt, it is difficult to take advantage.

Of course, Li Yanqing is not short of money, his income is not much, the income mainly comes from Bao Yan Zhai, Bao Yan Zhai he has three percent of the shares, and there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in dividends every year, but Li Yanqing does not want so much, every year his father Li Daqi will give him 50,000 taels of silver living expenses, after having a son, the living expenses have risen to 80,000 taels of silver per year.

Cao Yun set the rules, in addition to family expenses, each person also has a case of money, Cao Yun set the eldest woman five hundred taels of silver per month, the eldest woman below four hundred taels of silver per month, even Hu Qing'er also has four hundred taels of silver, which includes personal expenses such as fat powder, clothes, jewelry, etc., there are five or six thousand taels of silver a year, although the expenses are large, but the accumulation is not small, a few years down, everyone has tens of thousands of taels of silver savings, and now take out a thousand taels of silver to invest, of course, it is also a breeze.

After a while, everyone took the money back, of course, one thousand taels of silver weighed sixty-three catties, and they couldn't move such a heavy silver ingot, each of them took the silver lead spread out of the big silver, a hundred taels of silver, and soon Li Yanqing received fifty silver leads, he smiled and said: "I'll go and do this in the afternoon, you can go to the teahouse to sit and sit if you have time, and you can change your business if you want to." ”

After discussing it, the women really decided to go to the teahouse in the afternoon.

........

"The name Huang Jianzui is not good, can you change the name?" At the door of the teahouse, Cao Yun looked up at the plaque on the store, and frowned slightly.

The master hurriedly smiled and said: "Eldest sister, Huang Jianzui is a big brand in Tokyo, one of the top ten teahouses in Tokyo, and it ranks seventh." ”

Since Emperor Zhao Ji was exiled to the north, Shishi's biggest heart disease has disappeared, and her personality is much more cheerful, at least she doesn't have to worry about recognizing her anymore, even if anyone recognizes her as Master Li back then, no one dares to do anything to her, and she will also be crowned with the third-class destiny of Shuren, and with her destiny in her body, she has completely gotten rid of her background.

A few flower-like ladies came to the teahouse in a few gorgeous carriages, followed by a large group of maids and maids, of course the shopkeeper was going to greet him personally, he stood aside and heard what a few noblewomen said, and he suddenly understood in his heart that these must be the new proprietors.

Just now, the county government told him that the teahouse had been bought by five noble ladies, wasn't this comparison?

Although the county yalai did not tell him the identity of the new proprietor, the shopkeeper was bright in his heart, and the person who could buy the Xiangjia property would never be an ordinary person.

He hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "A few distinguished guests, please sit upstairs!" ”

Zhao Jinluo smiled and asked: "The teahouse covers an area of five acres, is there only this one building?" ”

"Mrs. doesn't know, in addition to this building, the teahouse also has four small courtyards, but because of the accident of the previous owner, so the backyard has not been opened for the past few days, only the front building, but this afternoon has been unsealed, and it will be cleaned again, and the four small courtyards will be open normally from tomorrow, so I will ask a few ladies to go up to the second floor to drink tea."

Cao Yun nodded, "Then go up to the second floor!" ”

"There are distinguished guests, go to Furong Hall!" The shopkeeper shouted, and several beautiful tea prostitutes walked down and greeted each other with smiling faces.

The Furong Hall is the largest and most luxurious private room in the teahouse, divided into two rooms, inside and outside, where five maids and five female guards sit outside to drink tea and rest, and five hostesses sit in the inner room to drink tea and chat.

The shopkeeper personally arranged for two of the best tea prostitutes to order tea for them, and he asked with a smile on his face, "May I ask which of your mansions are the five ladies from?" ”

Hu Qing'er was straightforward, turned her hand around and said, "The four of us are the family of Taiwei Li, and this lady is the wife of Cao Yuma. ”

The shopkeeper was frightened, it turned out to be Li Yanqing's family, isn't Cao Yuma's wife the emperor?

"The villain is disrespectful! Disrespectful! The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed.

Cao Yun smiled slightly: "May I ask the shopkeeper's surname?" Where are the people? ”

"Don't dare to be, the villain is exempt from your surname Xu, from Kaifeng Mansion, you are ..... Mrs. Cao? ”

Shopkeeper Xu was very discerning and saw that Cao Yun was his wife, that is, she should be the daughter of the Cao family.

Cao Yun smiled and nodded, "The shopkeeper has good eyesight, our five sisters bought this teahouse today, and they just bought it to play, and they can't take care of much business matters, so they will have to trouble Shopkeeper Xu a lot in the future." ”

"It turned out to be five new proprietors, and the villain will definitely do his best to manage it, and please take care of the five proprietors in the future."

"We will take care of it, and in the future, we won't go to Fengle Building for tea at noon, so we will come here and leave us a small courtyard."

"Then stay in the plum courtyard, quiet and quiet, and the most comfortable, you come tomorrow, and the other side will be cleaned up."

Cao Yun asked everyone, and readily agreed, "Then come tomorrow at noon, bring my family officials with you, and you keep the yard." ”

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, only to hear someone shouting viciously: "Lao Tzu doesn't care, Furong Hall was booked by Lao Tzu first, and asked the people inside to get rid of Lao Tzu immediately!" ”
