Jufang Garden.

Jin Mingyang followed Xiaolian into the inner room, and the outside was guarded by a few maids, and the courtyard was full of their own people, so it was more reassuring to talk.

"I don't know what the third lady is looking for me?" Jin Mingyang was blunt.

"I've seen my mother's dowry list." Ye Zhiwei said that thanks to Jin Mingyang, she was able to get the Min family's original dowry list, "Almost half of the shops are under the hands of the eldest lady." She flipped through the roster in her hand.

"There are also a few shops under the hands of the second room, but over the years, they have almost been sold, and the second room lady is not good at management."

"Why hasn't the shop under the eldest lady made a profit?" Ye Zhiwei was a little puzzled, it is said that the Li family is a woman from a merchant family, and she is good at calculation, why has the shop not made much money under her over the years, and it has been sold out a lot.

"The Li family spent most of the money on the Li Mansion." The gold steward said.

"Could it be that she is using my money to support the large population of the Li Mansion?" Ye Zhiwei raised her eyebrows in surprise.

“…… Almost. "A few years ago, the Li Mansion encountered difficulties in business, and it was all pointed to the eldest lady's side to secretly send money to the mansion every month, otherwise how could I get today's Li Mitang." ”

Ye Zhiwei pursed her lips, the more she knew the truth, the more she felt that Li Fu was like a moth, "Steward Jin, please keep an eye on the big house these days, if she wants to make a shop, you will tell me." ”

"What does the third lady want to do?" Steward Jin was surprised.

Ye Zhiwei didn't hide it from him, and said: "She won't be able to scrape together the thousand taels of silver within ten days, so at present, she can only change the shop and exchange it for silver, but she must be reluctant to exchange her dowry, so what she takes out must be my mother's shop." ”

"The third lady is trying to stop her from making a move?"

"Nope." Ye Zhiwei blinked, her face showed a naughty look, "On the contrary, I have to take the initiative to find a buyer for her." ”

Jin Mingyang was stunned.

Ye Zhiwei said with a smile, "Uncle Jin just don't worry about going to investigate, as long as he gets the letter, he will come and tell me." ”

Although Jin Mingyang also knew nothing, he still responded with his head.

As soon as Jin Mingyang was sent away, Ye Zhiwei wrote a letter to the Chen Nursing Home in the village, and called the errand boy in the courtyard, asking him to hand over the letter to the other party by hand.

That evening, she received a reply from Chen's nursing home.

An invisible net is slowly stretching out, waiting for the prey to throw itself into the net.

At noon the next day, Jin Mingyang quietly came to Jufangyuan and brought news of the Li family to Ye Zhiwei.

"Sure enough, the young lady guessed that she planned to sell the two jewelry shops in the west of the city." Jin Yingyang Road.

"How's the corner?"

"Very good."

"How much are those two shops worth?" Ye Zhiwei pondered.

"About a thousand taels." Jin Mingyang said, and added at the end, "I have secretly asked someone to estimate the price, and it is worth this amount at most." ”

Ye Zhiwei smiled slyly, "I have to bother Uncle Jin to help these days." ”

Jin Mingyang said briskly, "The third lady has something to do, just ask for it." ”

"As long as someone goes to see the shop these days, you find someone to stir it up."

Jin Mingyang was surprised: "Isn't Miss trying to find a buyer for the eldest lady?" ”

"Naturally, I want to help her find it, but I will decide the buyer." Ye Zhiwei lowered her voice and approached Jin Mingyang's ear and muttered for a while.

Jin Mingyang suddenly laughed: "How did the third lady come up with this idea?" ”

Ye Zhiwei smiled, "If she is allowed to set fire to the state officials, she will not allow my people to light the lamp?" If she dares to steal my shop, I will make her lose all her money! ”

Zhenguo Mansion, in the courtyard of the eldest lady.

Ye Yaoqin looked at the house deeds, land deeds, and accounts of various shops on the table, frowned and said, "Mother is really willing to sell these two shops?" ”

These two shops are full of shiny gold and silver jewelry, although not as exquisite as those made by the palace and the internal affairs office, but they are very popular with the ladies of ordinary wealthy families in the city.

The eldest lady said helplessly: "Even if you are reluctant, there is no way, if you don't pay back the money to that little slut within ten days, she will go to the government to reason." ”

"I don't believe it, she dares to go!" Ye Yaoqin shouted, "I just won't pay her back, see what she can do!" ”

"You don't have to be like her." The eldest lady comforted her daughter.

Ye Yaoqin pursed her lips aggrievedly, "She's just an orphan girl, why dare she ask me for something." "She has long regarded those things of the Min family as her own.

"She wants silver, just give it to her, anyway, she still uses her own money, and her reputation is ruined, see which family dares to ask for her in the future!"

The two of them were talking, and suddenly a mother-in-law came in from outside the door, "Mrs., the chief steward of the house is here." ”

"Let him in." As he spoke, Li sorted out the title deeds and house deeds on the table and put them in boxes.

After a while, a man in his fifties came in from outside, dressed as a steward, and came into the house to salute.

"I've seen the eldest lady, I've seen the eldest lady."

Ye Yaoqin raised her chin proudly, she had always been disdainful of these subordinates.

"How's it going, is it done?" Lee asked.

"There were only three buyers looking for a price in one afternoon." The chief steward said, "It's just that it didn't work out later." ”

Li nodded, she has always been in a hurry to do this kind of thing, but now she is in a hurry to make a move, although the shop is not hers, but after hearing the buyer's bid, it will make her feel pain.

"Isn't there a single buyer who likes it?" Lee asked.

"There is one who likes, but ......," the chief steward hesitated, "after negotiating for a long time, the other party can only pay half of the deposit first, and the other half says that it will not be paid in seven days." ”

Li Shi was stunned, in fact, it was not a big deal to pay the deposit first, but she was in a hurry to use the money, calculated the date, and seven days later, it was the deadline given by Ye Zhiwei.

"Lady, why don't you wait a few more days? There may also be other buyers coming to the door. ”

Li was helpless and had to nod.

That night, Ye Zhiwei received a letter from Chen Nursing Home again, she took out five hundred taels of silver tickets from the silver box and put them in an envelope, and asked the little girl in the hospital to secretly send the letter out.

The fish was already showing signs of taking the bait, and all she had to do now was wait patiently.

I thought that there would be nothing more that day, Ye Zhiwei leisurely leaned on the kang and read the book, Xiaolian suddenly ran in from outside, and said hurriedly: "Miss, no, someone from Nanwangfu is here......"

Ye Zhiwei raised her head, "What's the matter, say slowly." Hearing the three words Nanwangfu, her first reaction was to think of the wind and twilight.

It has been three days since he entered the palace, and there has been no news of him, and she has tried to use his secret guard to contact him, but all of them have failed.

Something can't happen to him, right?

She was calm and calm on her face, but in fact, her heart had already been twisted into a ball, saying that she was not worried about him, it was false!
