After knowing that Xia Yi had bought three streets, Bai Xiang returned to his small courtyard in a daze.

There are three streets in the capital, or three streets in the east city, but they are not ordinary rich.

The noon sun weakened slightly, Qiulan came to the door, and she came to Bai Xiang to go shopping together, which was something they had agreed upon by exchanging letters a day before.

Bai Xiang followed Qiulan and walked down the street.

"You just came to the capital, and you haven't bought it yet, right?" Qiulan looked at Bai Xiang.

Bai Xiang thought back to the materials piled up in his yard, but still shook his head. She really didn't buy anything, those were all bought for her by Xia Yi and Su Xue.

"Then let's go shopping, this time my mother and they also asked me to bring some to them, I can spend a lot of money."

Even in ancient times, shopping and spending money were one of the pleasures of women.

The two came to the East Side and entered a jewelry store.

Qiulan took a fancy to a step shake, and forked the step shake on her hair, and the golden butterfly on the step shook up and down with the footsteps, fluttering.

Bai Xiang didn't like this kind of delicate thing, she took a fancy to a piece of jade hanging around her waist.

It was a piece of white jade, both in color and texture, it was superior.

However, she already has a piece of green jade around her waist, and the green jade is cloudy inside, like clouds and mist, which is much better than this piece of white jade.

The green jade was given to her by Xia Yi, and mysteriously explained that this piece of jade has a special role.

Although he preferred white, Bai Xiang simply made a trade-off and put down the white jade.

The green jade was given by his father, and his father did so much for himself that he shouldn't have taken it off.

She took a jade hairpin and settled the bill with Qiulan.

"Give it to me, I'll settle the bill." Qiulan took the hairpin.

Bai Xiang immediately refused.

"Your family has just come to the capital, the silver must be nervous, this time I will welcome you as a gift, next time you will give it to me."

Qiulan thought that the Bai Xiang family was just ordinary wealthy. The price of goods in the capital is very expensive, and when I first came to the capital, there were few people who were not nervous about money.

Her family is also thanks to the emperor for giving her a house, otherwise, she would have to live a year tightly.

Bai Xiang couldn't refuse, thinking that he would return the gift to Qiulan in a few days.

However, when Qiulan took it to settle the bill, the man refused to accept the silver.

"Is this step for sale?" Qiulan asked.

"It's not."

"Is this hairpin not for sale?"

The guy hesitated, shook his hand and organized the language.

"What's that?" Qiulan's eyebrows were raised, thinking that the guy didn't want to sell hairpins, so he wanted to stand up for Bai Xiang.

"This store is the eldest lady's, how can anyone enter their own store to get something and ask for money." The guy hurriedly explained and looked at Bai Xiang.

"Huh? Is this shop yours? Qiulan looked at Bai Xiang in surprise, a high-end jewelry store, not cheap.

"I don't know." Bai Xiang thought of what Xia Yi said, buying three streets.

Is this street one of them?

"How did you recognize me?" Bai Xiang asked the guy, she was sure that she had not seen the person in front of her.

"It's a jade pendant, there is only one piece of this jade pendant in the world, the housekeeper has explained, the one who wears the jade pendant is the young lady." Said the guy.

Qiulan then gave up the money she paid for the hairpin, and wanted to pay her own money, but the man also refused.

Qiulan, who thought that Bai Xiang's family was in difficulty, didn't want to take advantage of Bai Xiang, and insisted on paying the silver, but the guy resigned to the end and almost knelt down for Qiulan.

It was really hard to refuse, and Qiulan put away the silver.

She was in an odd mood.

Originally, she planned to give Bai Xiang something, but now she took a step for nothing.

Don't panic, there are other opportunities.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the most famous embroidery girl in the capital to make a dress." Pulling Bai Xiang, Qiu Lan rushed to the store next to the jewelry store.

The two of them measured the size, chose the fabric, and settled on the two clothes.

stopped Bai Xiang, Qiulan was about to pay the silver, but she was rejected again.

"I'll get the clothes ready as soon as possible and deliver them to the two young ladies." The embroidery girl's eyes looked at Bai Xiang, with a flattering face.

Qiulan's body stiffened: "Bai Xiang, this shop is also yours?" ”

"It should be."

"Yes, yes." The embroidery lady glanced at the green jade on Bai Xiang's waist.

Bu Shao's gift was not returned, and she owed Bai Xiang another piece of clothing, Qiulan was embarrassed, she pulled Bai Xiang again, and entered the rouge gouache shop in front.

After a stick of incense, Qiu Lan, who was respectfully sent out by the guy, held the silver that she still hadn't spent, and looked at Bai Xiang: "Xiang'er, your family shouldn't have bought this street, right?" ”

"It's not."

Hearing this, Qiulan breathed a sigh of relief.

"My dad said it's not one street, it's three streets."

Qiu Lan's left foot was hooked on her right foot at once, but fortunately, Bai Xiang's eyes were quick and grabbed her.

"You bought three streets?" Qiulan grabbed Bai Xiang's arm, and she now knew how superficial her thoughts were just now.

Bai Xiang's family is not a little rich, but extremely rich, super rich!

How could such a rich family be short of silver?

Her mind about giving Qiulan a gift faded, but this didn't mean that she could accept Bai Xiang's things with peace of mind.

She asked, "What are the three streets in your house?" ”

"I don't know." Bai Xiang was stunned by the incident of the three streets at noon, and forgot to ask which three they were.

Qiulan then turned back and asked the embroidery girl.

Qiulan avoided the three and took Bai Xiang to another street.

They entered another jewelry store.

Bai Xiang picked a white jade hairpin, a bracelet inlaid with broken jade, and Qiu Lan picked a pair of ankle rings.

"It's time for me to pay the bill." Taking the jewelry from Bai Xiang's hand, Qiulan happily came to the counter.

The man put the jewelry in a wooden box and handed it to Qiulan, who also handed over a bag of silver.

However, the guy shook his hand.

Qiulan was a little panicked, and she had a guess in her heart.

When the guy called Miss Bai Xiang, she was sure that her guess was correct.

"Haven't we avoided your three streets!" Qiulan was indignant.

Bai Xiang also looked puzzled.

The shopkeeper replied to the two: "Miss Hui, our street has just been bought by the housekeeper, and the housekeeper has not gone far yet." ”

“……”

Coming out of the store, Qiulan threw herself into Bai Xiang's arms: "You bully people!" ”

"I don't know." Touching Qiulan's hair, a smile appeared on Bai Xiang's face.

Before paying the bill, she guessed the truth when she saw that the guy had been observing her Qingyu, and she had swept away her previous laziness and made a serious look at the store.

But she didn't tell Qiulan, she just wanted to see the girl's unwilling appearance.

I didn't expect the effect to be so good, not only did I see the girl's unwilling appearance, but I could also touch it.

It's so cute.

It's not just men who like beautiful girls, but girls who also like pretty people of the same sex. This can be seen from the fact that girls will hold hands with each other.

Throwing herself into Bai Xiang's arms and being sad for a while, Qiulan gave up shopping, the sun was already setting at this time, and she should go back.

In ancient times, people had not yet overcome the night, and at six or seven o'clock in the afternoon, there were no more people on the streets.

On the occasion of separation, Qiulan finally adjusted her mood, and she summed up today's shopping.

Got two pieces of jewelry, a bunch of rouge gouache, and an extra custom dress, but she didn't spend a penny.

That is, she will be able to come back tomorrow and buy a few more pieces of jewelry and a dress.

Thinking of this, she envied Bai Xianglai.

If her father had so many shops, she would have endless jewelry and dresses.

"What's wrong?" Bai Xiang noticed Qiu Lan's distraction.

"Xiang'er, does your father still lack a daughter?"

"Huh?"

"Ah, nothing, I'm kidding." Realizing what a rude thing she had said, Qiu Lan covered it up, and she hurriedly said goodbye to Bai Xiang and returned home.

Upon entering, she met her mother.

"What did you buy?" Her mother came to her side and gave her a haircut that was a little unkempt, "Remember to bring a maid next time you go shopping, after all, this place in the capital is unfamiliar." ”

"It's okay, I just went out shopping with Bai Xiang."

"Your grandfather asked you to take care of other people, do you?"

Hearing her mother's words, Qiulan froze.

The mother grasped her daughter's unnaturalness, and under her questioning, Qiulan told the story.

"You went out and didn't spend a penny, and you took other people's things!" Mother's eyes lit up.

"I want to spend it, but I can't spend it, Bai Xiang's house has four streets, and those guys refuse to accept cash!"

"What, their house is four streets?"

"Almost all the streets in Dongcheng are their homes, I can't go to Xicheng to buy it!"

Unlike the bustling city of the East Side, the West Side is a more cluttered area.

"Is there really four streets in her house?"

"It's the guy in the store who said it! Bai Xiang didn't even know that the store belonged to hers! ”

Bai Xiang's mother thought for a while, she entered her husband's room and discussed with Tanhualang's husband.

……

On the other side, Bai Xiang also found Xia Yi and wanted to ask how many streets there were at home and where they were.

When she got closer, she didn't ask, because she saw Xia Yi and Su Xue gathering together to discuss something.

In front of them was a map of the capital.

Of course, the map only has the outer city, and the part of the imperial city is blank.

The two of them are planning in the West Side section.

Seeing Bai Xiang coming, Su Xue pulled her into her arms: "Your father and I are going to buy the entire Xicheng, what do you think?" ”

"What do you do when you buy Westtown?" Bai Xiang was puzzled, Xicheng was the worst place in the entire capital, and it was the residence of the hawkers.

Xia Yi explained: "Buy it for real estate development. ”

"Real estate development?" Bai Xiang looked dazed.

"It's about buying a piece of land, then building some service buildings there, and then selling the surrounding land to make money."

Bai Xiang was even more dazed.

In fact, Xia Yi is also at a loss, in this era, there is no KFC cinema and the like, what kind of service building to build?

This is the idea put forward by Su Xue, as a traverser, how can you not use modern concepts to circle a wave of money?

There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and if you can't think of anything to build, you can move a few shops to the past, and move all the cloth villages in Dongcheng to the past, so that there will be no cloth villages in Dongcheng from now on, so that people will always be attracted to buy houses in the past, right?

However, this does not seem to be speculation, but a monopoly.

Forget it, it's just fun anyway.

After deciding, the next morning, Xia Yi walked towards his teeth.

Yaxing can buy shops, but can't buy land, Xia Yi went to Yamen again, and after turning around, he found that he didn't need to worry anymore.

Because he couldn't buy the land in Xicheng at all.

Buy a store to nothing, but buy a large piece of land, who knows what you will do in it, the yamen does not allow you to buy it at all.

Speculation land plan, die before the teacher is ready.

didn't want to go home without doing anything, Xia Yi thought about changing the mansion again.

He went to the official tooth shop and found that he couldn't buy the mansion either.

Or that he can buy it, but it will cause great trouble.

The mansion that Xia Yi bought is not small in area, no matter how big the mansion is, it is where the ministers and nobles of the court and the central government live, and an ordinary rich businessman, the same as the ministers, will definitely cause trouble.

If you want to renew your mansion, you also need to find a way to get a prominent status.

So the question is, what kind of identity do you want to get?

Entering the court as an official? The imperial examination has just ended, and if you want to become an official in the court, you have to wait for three years.

Become a nobleman? The status of the ancient princess is not high, and the right to speak is also very small, Xia Yi can indeed seduce a princess, but even if the princess is tired of life, it is impossible for the emperor to marry the princess to him.

Maybe you can seduce the queen and the queen mother, poison the emperor, and take the throne yourself?

There's so much to do here, it's too cumbersome.

After some consideration, Xia Yi found that he didn't have any good way.

He frowned and returned to the house and told Su Xue about it.

"I can disguise the blood in the human body, but there is no paternity testing technology in this era, even if it is disguised, it has no effect." Su Xue didn't have a good way either.

"Maybe we can adopt a scholar and let him take the palace examination in three years."

"But it's too long, and we don't know if we'll be able to spend three years here."

"Since it is 'habitual', only monetary satisfaction must be insufficient, and status satisfaction must be realized."

The two of them deliberated again.

Not knowing that his parents were already thinking about status, Bai Xiang and Qiulan continued to shop together.

This time, though, instead of shopping, they were hanging out.

Eating rock sugar gourd, Qiulan saw the lanterns from the vendor, and said to Bai Xiang: "It will be the queen's birthday in a few days, and there will be a lantern festival in the Huai River, you can go over and have a look at it then." ”

"Lan'er is also going?" Bai Xiang stretched out his hand and tapped Qiulan's bulging cheeks.

Qiulan's gaze was a little dodgy, and she realized that she had said something embarrassing: "I want to be with my mother." ”

Bai Xiang understood the meaning of Qiulan's words, Qiulan's brother was Tanhualang, and she would be with the dignitaries.

Although she is rich now, she is only the daughter of a wealthy businessman.

In the next shopping trip, Bai Xiang became a little depressed.

When the time came, Qiulan said goodbye to her.

"That's right." From the hand of the maid in the back, Qiulan took a letter, "This is what my mother asked me to give to your father." ”
