Ye Wenyan felt that it was not direct at all, "As for the silver in Yanhua Palace, it can't be compensated...... she looked at the mother and daughter, looking up and down, "It's better to sell the two of you, the old one is sold as slaves, and the small one is sold to the flower building to sing songs, until the silver is repaid." ”

"Are you crazy?" Xiao Shubai collapsed for a while, "Ye Wenyan, are you crazy?" ”

When Gu Shi heard this, he said to Ye Wenyan: "Actually, there is another way. Fourth girl, look at this courtyard, this is a two-entry courtyard, quite large, and there is an independent door. This courtyard was actually built in the location of the original Hou Mansion, which is relatively new and magnificent. The old lady likes style, so she chose to live here. If you cut this place from the Hou Mansion, it will be very easy. If they really can't afford the money, they can cut out the yard and sell it. ”

Old Madam Xiao was anxious, "Then where do I live?" ”

Xiao Fang opened his mouth at this time and said: "Mother can live in the courtyard where my aunt lived in the past, and it just so happens that she can also have a good memory, and she also took my aunt's things." Or ......," he paused, "or did you take her life?" ”

Old Madam Xiao broke out in a cold sweat at once, and her body shook several times. Xiao Shubai had the heart to say something more, but found that her mother quietly pinched her. She had a good idea in her mind, so she didn't say anything more.

By the time everything was counted, it was already time to apply. Lian Shi and Yunchen were particularly polite, and they also had a meal in Xiao Mansion at noon, and after eating, they also commented: "It's not as good as the food in Yanhua Palace." ”

Gu Shi was particularly good at speaking, and said at that time: "Where can I compare with Yanhua Palace in this world!" Our house is coarse tea and light rice, and we have to thank the two adults for not disliking it. ”

In fact, Mrs. Xiao is still quite rich. Even if Gu and Xiao Fang took away all their things, even if the remaining ones were not worth three million taels, they would still be more than enough for one million taels.

Lian Shi looked at those objects, and then at Old Madam Xiao and Xiao Shubai, and asked Ye Wenyan: "Fourth Miss, look, do you want to pull these two people to sell?" Although it's not worth a few dollars, if one or two counts as one or two, we will lose a little less. ”

Old Madam Xiao's face turned white, and she sat on the ground with a plop. In front of the people of Yanhua Palace, she didn't even dare to struggle.

Xiao Shubai also shook his head in a mental disorder, and kept muttering: "You can't do this, I am the head of the Yipin General's Mansion, I am an official member, you can't sell me." ”

Ye Wenyan thought for a while and said, "It's not interesting to sell it, it's better to follow what Mrs. Ning Guo just said, and mark this courtyard from the Hou Mansion!" Block the connection between this courtyard and the Hou Mansion, and find someone to point out a location to reopen the gate, and we may still be useful in the future. ”

Yun Chen thought this was a good idea, so he said to Lian Shi: "Listen to Miss Four." ”

Lian Shi nodded immediately, "Naturally, I listened to Miss Four, and Miss Four said that she would be as tidy as she wanted." ”

When Gu Shi heard this, he spoke again: "Leave the matter of blocking the door and repairing the door to me, I promise to do it neatly, and when the time comes, you just have to come to the acceptance of the fourth girl." As for the old lady of our family, didn't the Hou Ye also show her a place to live just now, so I will ask someone to move her bedding over. After speaking, he waved at his subordinates, "What are you doing in a daze?" Move! ”

The men immediately rushed into the house, and in a short time the house was empty, and even the basin was gone.

Xiao Yan looked at the old lady with a dark face, and after a while, he snorted fiercely and left.

Gu Shi also snorted, and then said to Ye Wenyan: "Don't blame you Uncle Xiao, he is really in a bad mood today because of this matter, I will persuade you when I go back." I won't keep you any longer, another day, when the house is cleaned up, when you come to inspect this yard, your aunt will personally cook for you to eat, let's have a good drink. ”

After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Ye Wenyan, "I know you can drink, in the past, when your father drank with your Uncle Xiao, as long as you went, you must taste half a bowl." Okay, go back quickly, I'll send a car to send you, and the rest is our family affairs, and the ugliness of the family can't be publicized, and I'm not too embarrassed to settle this account in front of so many of you. You are considerate and considerate of me. ”

Ye Wenyan really liked Gu's temperament, so he nodded and said, "If there is anything I can help with Auntie, don't be polite to me." In addition, I am planning to open a jewelry pavilion in the outer city recently, and all the jewelry is drawn by me and made by the craftsmen of the Ying family. When the time comes, I will pick a few suitable ones for my aunt and send them over, thank you aunt for helping me today. ”

Gu Shi happily sent Ye Wenyan away, and when he got into the car, Xiao Shubai also wanted to go up with Ye Wenyan, but Gu grabbed the collar and dragged him down.

Ye Wenyan smiled and told the coachman not to wait for the second lady, and to leave for the house immediately.

Even Shi and Yunchen also returned to Yanhua Palace, and the things they took out from the Xiao family were all put on the palace car, and if there were any that were not loaded, they added two carriages of the Xiao family, and followed all the way behind.

Gu Shi carried Xiao Shubai in his hand, stood at the door and watched for a long time, until the carriages on both sides could not be seen, and then turned around and went home.

At this time, Ye Wenyan was counting the house deeds and title deeds in the carriage, and Shen'er and Ye Chulian were holding a stack of papers and reading there, saying to themselves while reading, "Old Madam Xiao really has inventory, so many shops, how much silver do you have to collect this year?" ”

Ye Chulian twisted her eyebrows and calculated, and shook her head, "Actually, I can't collect much, these shops look a lot, but few of them are profitable." At least none of the better-run shops in the inner and outer cities we've heard of are on it. As she spoke, she picked out a few of them, "You see, these are Granges, but they are a little far from the capital, and only one of them is on the outskirts of Beijing." Even if such a village is rented out, it can't eat a few pieces of silver, and it is even less worth farming by itself. ”

"Is it useless that we're coming?" Shen'er was a little deflated, "I thought I got something good, but I didn't expect it to be useless." What Mrs. Xiao is holding in her hands is all tatters? ”

Ye Wenyan smiled and said: "It's not necessarily all rags, and the things that don't make money in her hands may be able to run well when they come to us." She looked at Ye Chulian, "Let's pick a shop to make a wine shop!" Even if you can't go out and run a business blatantly, you can send someone to be the shopkeeper, and you just need to go every once in a while. ”

Ye Chulian is not pretentious, "Then I will pick one, so that there will be a place to make wine in the future, and there is no need to go to the Third Highness to borrow it." ”

She began to look for a suitable shop to open a sake brewery.

But except for a wine shop, there is still a bunch of shops left, and Shen'er is worried when he looks at it: "There are both inner and outer cities, how to get them?" ”

Ye Wenyan is not in a hurry, no one will think that there is a lot of room in his hand, and if he can't think of anything today, he can come up with it tomorrow. As for those Zhuangzi outside the city, it would be easier to do it, all of them would become her private spiritual garden, and they would be guarded by the Quanzhou Ji family.

On this day, the Xiao family was panicked.

The Xiao family is really panicked, and the night family is mainly the old lady sitting in the house thinking, and the more she thinks about it, the more panicked she becomes.

She also sent people to the gate of the mansion from time to time to see if Ye Wenyan and Xiao Shubai had returned.

Jun Tao persuaded her: "Don't think about it, no matter how Miss Fourth tosses, it's all the Xiao family's business, and it has nothing to do with us." ”

The old lady didn't think so: "Is Wen Yan accurate in doing things that night?" Maybe he didn't get angry at Xiao's house, and he made trouble when he went home. ”

Jun Tao said again: "How can you not be angry in the Xiao family? Fourth Miss, she is not the kind of character who comes back before she finishes her anger! Don't worry, she will definitely be able to come out of this breath, not to mention that there is nothing good to come out of, don't you just want silver, if it's a big deal, you will raid the house, and the house will be empty, and the slave and maid will not believe that a Ningguo Marquis Mansion is not worth a million taels of silver. ”

The old lady didn't say anything more, just sat in the Fulu courtyard and waited silently. But waiting, Ye Wenyan came back, but Xiao Shubai was detained in Xiao's house, and it is said that he was still sent back by Mrs. Ning Guo.

There was also a report from the subordinates, saying that the fourth lady and the people of Yanhua Palace had copied Mrs. Xiao's courtyard, not only emptied all the belongings, but even took away the title deed that Mrs. Xiao had saved over the years. In addition, the courtyard was also cut, and the courtyard was also drawn out from the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion. Ning Guohou not only didn't care about this matter, but also asked Mrs. Ning Guo to help copy it together.

Jun Tao said: "It seems that their Xiao family is not harmonious, and it is not good to be a daughter-in-law to her mother-in-law and eldest sister like this." ”

The old lady snorted lightly, "Then Gu Chunhe can still pass it out, is it good?" As long as she has that taboo, Xiao Shubai's matter, the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion will not care about it at all, let alone let people occupy the courtyard! ”

The old lady was angry enough, Jun Tao was really a little crying and laughing, "Why are you angry?" Don't you just want to see the Xiao family deflated! The second master wants to marry a flat wife, and the old lady Xiao came to the door aggressively and slapped our night house in the face. According to the slave maid, this is good, let the fourth lady extinguish their prestige, and they will not dare to bully your orphans and widows with us in the future. ”

The old lady sighed, "That's what I said, but everyone understands the truth of the rabbit dying and the fox's sorrow." Ye Wenyan can force the Xiao family to this part, and sooner or later he will do something to us. Or rather...... She's actually done it. ”

Jun Tao thought of the haunting of Fulu Courtyard again, and couldn't help but shudder, but she still had the courage to persuade the old lady, "That's all for us to scare ourselves, maybe it's all an illusion." Didn't Miss Four stop tossing that tree these days! She must also have no real evidence, or she would have made trouble a long time ago, in the final analysis, it is just a bluff and a scare. We can't be fooled by her. ”

As he was talking, someone from outside came to report: "Old lady, the second lady has returned home......
