After nearly four years of separation, where can you expect to say what you want to say in one meeting?

After picking out some important things for each other, Xiuxiu opened the ruler-long wooden box she brought, and first took out the top document and said to her: "This is the contract made by the Ya store for the promising house."

"The house is in Osmanthus Hutong, where the location is good, and the original residence was an official of the Ministry of Rites, and he was transferred. I thought the girl would like it, so I made a deposit of fifty taels of silver.

"I said that I was from the Rong family, and they promised to return before the middle of this month, and they could return.

"In addition, there is a house in the south gate, which is close to the city gate, easy to enter and exit, and is not adjacent to the eunuchs, and should be the residence of merchants and ordinary officials who do not know the girl.

"That house is big, there are four entrances, but the price is about the same as here in Osmanthus Hutong."

Needless to say, it's the first choice for home ownership. However, in the case of Changying, it may not be comfortable to live with high-ranking families as neighbors.

Sure enough, Changying took the axis map of the house in Nancheng and looked at it for a long time before putting it down.

Xiuxiu pushed the box over again: "This is the income of the shop's operation in the past few years." At that time, the girl left three shops and a grange, and I rented out the shop first, and then hired the shopkeeper to run it myself.

Later, I bought three more rooms with profits, and now except for the two rooms with slightly worse locations, they are still rented out, and the remaining four rooms are very profitable.

"Together with Zhuangzi's income, he can make a net profit of nearly two thousand taels every year.

"The accounts, and the three hundred taels of silver for circulation, and the remaining thousand taels of silver, in addition to the silver bills sent to the south, are here.

"In addition, there are antique calligraphy and paintings left by the old lady back then, which are in a hurry today, and I will send them over when I turn around."

Changying looked at the box full of silver ingots and silver tickets and the land title deed, and couldn't help but look at the soft and weak little woman opposite in surprise.

She knew that Xiuxiu would be able to operate, and she knew that she had received the silver ticket from her in Huzhou over the years, but she never thought that she would be so good at business.

At that time, the shop Zhuangzi she left behind was not dealt with because she was in too a hurry, so she handed it over to her to take care of, thinking that her life in the Rong family would not be easy, and it was good to have two shops to collect some rental money in her hand for emergency.

I didn't expect ......

"Why are you so good?" She laughed.

Xiuxiu couldn't help but bend her lips: "I don't know either." I listened to it when the girl was settling the accounts with her wife, and I thought it was quite interesting for the girl to plan the profit and loss.

"I went to the Shen family since I was a child, and you yourself need to accept the protection of the Ling family, and you didn't leave me, and then I thought, I must not abandon your shop.

"I tried to do it, and then I had extra money in my hand - I didn't have much money in the Rong family, so I was unstable, so I simply cashed out and bought a shop, and slowly, I actually made money."

It was only then that Changying saw a little anger on her face.

Changying thought for a while, picked out the deed and title deed, and pushed the remaining cash in the box again: "In terms of business, I don't have this mind now, so you still help me take care of it."

"If you want to do it, you can do it. If you want to use money to turnover, you just have to open your mouth. ”

Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment: "The girl is back, so naturally the girl is in charge herself." ”

"It doesn't matter." Changying said, "You are my big treasurer, and I can collect the silver." ”

Xiuxiu groaned and nodded: "Then I'll listen to the girl." Anyway, you're back, and I'm a little bolder. I try to live up to expectations. ”

Changying patted the back of her hand.

Xiuxiu put the box away, and then looked at Changying: "Will the girl go to Ling's house to see Mrs." ”

Changying held on to the cup on the table and stopped talking.

"My wife came to me a few days ago." Xiuxiu pursed her lips and said.

The tassel looked up.

……

Qin Cha and his entourage arrived at the city gate, and met with the officials and generals, Shaoqing was reprimanded by Shao Yin and Shaokang together, and then escorted back to Feng's house, while Ling Yuan had to go to the palace to see him.

This time he was recalled in a hurry, he thought that the emperor would say something when he met, but the emperor was not in a hurry to explain, and after hearing him say it briefly, he asked him casually: "You brought Shen Ying back?" ”

Ling Yuan lowered his head.

The emperor stroked the bone fan with his hand: "Didn't you hear that she already has a husband?" ”

"It's just a child messing around, no matchmaker, no hiring, can't be taken seriously."

The emperor shook his fan and didn't ask any more.

Ling Yuan returned to the mansion quite early, and it was just a vegetarian meal.

He entered the door and untied his cloak and asked, "Where is the wife?" ”

Answer: In the room. I went straight to the backyard.

Mrs. Ling sat on the beauty couch in a homely dress.

Ling Yuan called "Mother", and her shoulders moved slightly, and she stood up.

She stared at him for a moment, then tilted to look behind him. But behind him was the courtyard, which was empty except for a few maids.

"What about her?" She asked.

Ling Yuan opened his mouth and didn't make a sound.

Madame Ling looked at him, and the light in her eyes went out little by little.

"Got it." She sat down. After sitting for a long time, he looked up again and said, "It's hard work for days of boating and driving, right?" ”

Ling Yuan lowered his eyes: "It's not hard. ”

Mrs. Ling sat down, and finally said, "Go down and wash, let's eat." ”

Ling Yuan stood in place for a while, bent down to bow, and went out.

The room was strangely quiet.

But soon there was an obviously suppressed excited female voice outside: "Go, go, go!" The pigeon soup is steamed in water, and it is served only when there is enough time.

"And the puffer fish, you must pick up the freshest and send it away, how the girl is used to eating it, have you forgotten?!

"At this moment, the wife is talking to the girl, let them finish talking and then pass it on!"

When Madame Ling heard this, her face turned away.

Outside the door, another whisper sounded, and then there was silence, and after a while, the woman with her sleeve crossed the door quickly, and took a breath into the house.

There was only their lady sitting in the room, girl? Not really.

Mrs. Ling withdrew her gaze: "Helu, don't be busy. ”

The hands that He Lu held hung down, and the whole person became a frosted eggplant.

……

Rong Yin was not here today, and the step-room Yu also returned to her parents' house, and Changying stayed with Xiuxiu for lunch.

During the meal, Wu's mother Zi Yan and they all came in, looked at each other and cried and told their feelings after saying goodbye, Chang Ying saw the Rong family maid frequently visiting outside the door, knowing that this was urging Xiuxiu to go back, and she felt uncomfortable, but it was inconvenient to do anything at this time, so she sent Zi Yan to send Xiuxiu back first.

After Zi Yan came back, the table had not been removed from the room, and she said: "This maid was given to her by Xiuxiu when she first followed Rong Yin, her name is Ke'er, according to Xiuxiu, she is quite caring."

"But the other few people in the room are just moths frequent, pretending to be honest and obedient all day long, thinking about how to climb Rongyin's bed behind their backs, Xiuxiu can't control it, and she doesn't bother to care about it."

Changying asked: "Then how many concubines did Rong Yin take?" ”

"I haven't heard of accepting anyone else." Zi Yan said, "He has children, even if he looks like a dog, except for the maids around him, no one outside will easily follow him, right?" ”

For Rong Yin's shamelessness back then, everyone still remembers it in their hearts.

Changying was annoyed, picked up the house paperwork in Osmanthus Hutong and said: "Clean up, Mother Wu will leave with Fanzhu, and you and Huang Ji will take Yingbi with me to see the house." ”
