"Do you want to take the martial arts exam?" Lin Yunxin smiled.

Lin Shen'an scratched his head: "I think it's a little bit like it...... But I don't have any good master to teach, and I used to be able to follow the third uncle. The family members who practiced studied together, and now ......"

Lin Shen'an has always been lively and active, and he likes martial arts rather than literature, which is very similar to Lin Jingli, the third master of the Lin family.

At that time, Lin Jingli also served in the army, and the troubled times were approaching, and it was a good opportunity for the generals to show their talents, but they were forced to return home by Mrs. Lin, and they had nothing to do in the mountains. Train the guards and the family.

In the past, in the mountains, Lin Shen'an often didn't have a figure all day, just mixed with Lin Jingli and this group of guards.

Lin Yunxin also knows this very well, but since her uncle Zhang Linchen has tried to dredge up the relationship and given this admission notice, there is no reason to give up.

"Otherwise, if you are willing to go to Taixue to take classes, I will find you a good martial arts master, regardless of whether you will participate in Wenju or Wuju at that time, and I don't ask you how well you are in Taixue, as long as you don't get kicked out, how about it?"

"Is that true?" Lin Shen'an was pleasantly surprised, if he just said that he would not be driven away, then there would be too many maneuvers in the middle, but he was a little suspicious, "It's up to you?" What good martial arts master can you find? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, the mountain people have their own tricks." Lin Yunxin hooked her lips and smiled.

"Cut!"

Although he was really not willing to study too much, firstly, his uncle Zhang Linchen had already registered, and secondly, with Lin Yunxin's assurance, Lin Shen'an still went awkwardly.

Lin Yunxin was not idle, when her father went to study for her younger brother, she also took the maid to the street, after all, the two shops and a Zhuangzi given to her by her aunt could not be empty, and she needed to send someone to take care of it.

What's more, the aunt didn't come directly to help them ask for the dowry, but sent a few shops, and she also vaguely guessed another layer of her aunt's intentions.

Outside the Imperial City, East Main Street.

The carriage slowly stopped outside a storefront with its seals torn and its doors locked.

The imperial capital spreads out on three sides with the imperial city backed by mountains as the center, with the east city gate and the west city gate on both sides, and then extends dozens of miles to the south to the south city gate.

The closer the location is to the imperial city, the higher the price, and for the commercial houses of the entire imperial capital, East Street and West Street are the most valuable places.

Not only that, but due to the beginning of the new dynasty after the war, the two rows of shops on the east and west streets were held by the imperial power, and the meritorious courtiers were rewarded according to their merits, and ordinary people could not buy them even if they wanted to.

Aunt Lin Rushuang and uncle Zhang Linchen gave a shop on East Street to Lin Yunxin without saying a word, I have to say that this gift is too expensive.

"Go open the door." Lin Yunxin.

As soon as she entered the store, Lin Yunxin smelled a heavy musty smell, the cobwebs everywhere in the store, and the tables, chairs, and cabinets overturned to the ground quite a lot, and she knew that they had been vacant for a long time at a glance.

The area of the store is not small, and the space is very open, so it is not difficult to separate three or four rooms. Although there are not enough shops open on Dongxi Street at present, it will surely return to its former prosperity over time.

Lin Yunxin knew it in her heart, and ordered: "Xia Tong stayed to clean the shop, and then went to buy two tables and two beds, and gave him silver." Qiu Tong went with me to Ya Yu for a walk. ”

The tooth was officially authorized to be formed as a place for the slave trade, and after the troubled times, a large number of people were displaced and had to be sold. As a slave to survive, at this time, you may be able to find rare talents.

Lin Yunxin had also considered finding a slave in her yard to run the shop, but in this way, the available manpower was not enough, and secondly, they were not professionals, not to mention that the servants who could work in their four rooms for a long time were usually loyal. Lack of work, doing business is not a job that can be done by being honest alone.

With the maid and the maid, Lin Yunxin soon came to the South Street where Yayu was located.

In fact, although the north and south streets are called so, they are only two streets in the north-south direction near the imperial city, the one on the east side is called South Street, and the one on the west side is called North Street. In addition to the east and west streets adjacent to the Imperial City, these two streets are also excellent locations.

Compared with the sparsely populated East and West Streets under official control, the North and South Streets are open to the public, and many storefronts have been purchased by wealthy families and official families.

Lin Yunxin didn't delay, and very neatly selected a total of ten servants, six honest and four spirits. The living ones were arranged in the Zhuangzi and the shop respectively.

The two shops that her aunt gave her were one on Dongdajie and the other near the South City Gate, while Zhuangzi was on the outskirts.

After taking care of all this, she was going to go back to East Street first.

At this moment, near their carriage, another carriage also slowly stopped.

The people in the car happened to take a look at Lin Yunxin, and their faces changed when they boarded.

"How are you?"

"What are you doing here?"

It was the second room Jiang and Lin Suhui's mother and daughter.

Lin Yunxin smiled and said: "It's really interesting for the second aunt to say this, and you didn't open up this road alone to collect fees, why can't I be here?" ”

Jiang frowned: "You don't take people seriously now." ”

"If the second aunt wants to say this, she will wronged me, is it not even possible to tell the truth in this world now?" Lin Yunxin smiled slightly.

"What are you telling the truth?" Lin Suhui was a little unsightly.

Jiang raised his hand and waved, asking, "What are those people behind you doing?" ”

Lin Suhui glared, and without waiting for Lin Yunxin to answer, she spoke: "Could it be the servant you bought, right?" Still buying so much, are you crazy? Our family doesn't have so much money to support these idlers! ”

Lin Yunxin chuckled and nodded: "Yes, our family has indeed not given money to eat for a long time, and serious masters like Dad, Shen An and I have no food to eat, let alone some subordinates?" ”

"However, the big guys have also lived well until now and have not starved to death, have they? I won't have to worry about you two. Lin Yunxin said.

"You?!" Lin Suhui's face turned red with anger.

Jiang's expression was even more ugly.

Since the incident of Green Willow, Jiang has been holding the money in the middle of the house and all parties, and not a single crack has been exposed, I wanted to force the fourth room to apologize on her own, she made some more requests, but I didn't expect the fourth room to be so angry that she opened another stove, and spent all the expenses on it, completely isolated from the second room.

On the one hand, they don't want to take the initiative to bow their heads to Sifang and let go of the money, and on the other hand, they are worried that their in-laws will return to the imperial capital in the future, and Sifang will go to complain.

But fortunately, there is still a period of time before the in-laws return to the imperial capital, and the Jiang family pondered why they had to dry the four rooms first to frustrate their spirit.

She estimated that the silver in Sifang's hand could last for two months at most, and she would definitely cry and beg her later.

But now, the Jiang family is a little uncertain, Lin Yunxin suddenly bought so many servants, you must know that one more servant will be one more monthly money, and in addition to this, all expenses will increase, could it be that the family in the fourth room actually has a lot of oil and water in it, but she didn't know it before?

Suddenly, Jiang thought of a possibility: "You still bought a store?" ”

"Impossible, where did she get the money?" Lin Suhui spoke faster than Lin Yunxin, and her eyes were surprised.

Lin Yunxin was a little clear: "It seems that the second aunt and the second sister are here to buy a shop, so I won't bother." ”

"Wait a minute, what are you anxious about? You haven't said where you bought it? Lin Suhui stopped her.

"Do I need to report back to you?" Lin Yunxin seemed to be smiling.

"Of course it's necessary, how can you buy the store privately?" Lin Suhui did not give up.

Jiang didn't say anything, obviously thinking so.

Lin Yunxin really felt funny now, she chuckled lightly and said, "Second sister is right, I really don't have money to buy a store now, but ...... This didn't stop me from inspecting all the nearby stores recently. ”

"Oh?" Jiang Shi was a little interested.

Lin Suhui also had doubts.

Lin Yunxin continued: "As we all know, the East and West Streets are under the control of the government, and ordinary people have no right to buy and sell, but there is no limit to the North and South Streets. System. The best location in the entire imperial capital is nothing less than that. So, is South Street better or North Street? ”

"What's the difference?" Lin Suhui asked dissatisfiedly.

"It's a big difference." Lin Yunxin smiled.

Lin Yunxin remembered that in her previous life, the Lin family had also suffered a loss in buying shops, just because the shops on the north and south streets were very different at the beginning. South Street is more dilapidated and North Street is very new, which also leads to the price difference between North and South.

In line with the principle that cheap is not good, most of the wealthy families have chosen the shops on North Street.

But no one could have imagined that in just over half a year, feng shui took turns, and South Street was repaired and paved by the government because it was too dilapidated, and a moat road around the entire East City was expanded along East Street, creating a feng shui pattern with jade belts wrapped around the waist.

But for Dongcheng, it is a jade belt for thousands of family wealth to be collected around the waist, but for the North Street of Xicheng, it has formed a counterbow with a huge destruction message.

In just a few months, there have been many accidents in Xicheng District inexplicably, and the business has been bleak and many shops have collapsed. In the end, there were officials who took back a lot of lots, renovated them, and transferred the Criminal Department and other judicial institutions here to suppress the evil spirits, and the matter was over.

But in this way, the price of the shops on North Street has fallen more and more, which has also made South Street even higher, and I don't know how many times it has increased since I first bought it.

The Lin family stepped on the wrong lot in the past, and it was useless to regret it later, so they could only spend a larger price to buy the shop on South Street, and there was no market.

Although the money is in Jiang's hands, after all, it is from the middle government, Lin Yunxin thought about it, and still reminded: "South Street is cheaper and easier to start, and North Street is expensive and easy to grab, whether it is in terms of price or location, South Street is more suitable." If I had money now, I would have gone to South Street and bought a few shops first. ”

Listening to Lin Yunxin's words, Jiang pondered slightly.

"Are you so kind?" Lin Suhui asked directly.

Lin Yunxin smiled: "I have already given the suggestion, as for whether it can be adopted, this is a matter for the two of them." ”

"It's not early, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Lin Yunxin offered to leave.

This time, neither Jiang nor Lin Suhui stopped her.

Watching Lin Yunxin's carriage and the group of people leaving the carriage, Lin Suhui muttered: "Mother, do you really believe what she said?" ”

Jiang said: "Although I don't believe it, it is also desirable. ”

"What?" Lin Suhui was a little puzzled.

Jiang snorted: "Didn't she want to lure us to buy a more dilapidated shop on South Street?" ”

"That's right, it's all broken like that, she must not be well-intentioned!" Lin Suhui said indignantly.

"Wei Niang originally wanted to buy the shops on South Street and North Street according to Sanqi, so it seems that it is more than enough to leave Yicheng to buy South Street."

"It's just ......," Jiang paused slightly.

"How?" Lin Suhui was curious.

"That girl suddenly bought so many servants, I'm afraid there is a demon in this matter, we should still follow up and see what kind of rules it is."
