Mi Yichao hugged his wife who was as beautiful as a begonia, he didn't have that kind of thought, and he was also a little worried at this time, although he was less pedantic than ordinary scholars, but he wouldn't mess around too much, so he said, "The Ma family plans to sell the yard, what does Madam think we should buy?" ”

The Ma family is on the west side of Mifu, the house of Sanjin and a large garden, the Ma family has put a lot of effort into the garden, and the strange stones and ancient trees in the garden are correspondingly interesting, and they also have a certain reputation in Mei County. If you buy it and open up the courtyard wall to connect with the garden, it is indeed much more spacious than the current one, but it is such a large courtyard, and the location here is good, and the price is not low. Xia Wan made a slight calculation and said, "After the lord took office, he had more contacts with various prefectures than now, and it was convenient for the yard to be larger, and if he bought the courtyard of the Ma family, he could also take his parents over to live with him, but I don't know how much silver he would need?" ”

Hearing Xia Wan's proposal to pick up his parents who were far away from his hometown, Mi Yichao was happy in his heart, but when he thought of the price of the yard, he still had a little bottom, "If it is based on the market price, it will cost two thousand two hundred taels, and if we buy it, two thousand taels should be able to get it." Do you have enough money at home? ”

Two thousand taels is indeed not expensive, Xia Wan was used to living in a large courtyard before she got married, and she was really aggrieved to live in the small courtyard here. In the past, because there was no way, this yard was bought, not to mention that they would not change places within three years, and the two children also had a place to play, and it was much more convenient for her to invite the wives of various prefectures to gather and listen to music.

"If you can make it up, don't worry." Xia Wan responded with a mouthful. Mi Yi is beyond the family of scholars, and he has the arrogance of a scholar in poverty, and he is unwilling to follow the crowd to do corruption and perversion of the law and enrich his own pockets, and wants to benefit the people with his own strength, and be a good official with clean sleeves. Xia Wan supported him, and tried not to let him worry about the trivial matters at home, and this time it was the same.

After the meal, Mi Yichao went to the yamen again, Lan Yi ordered someone to inquire why the Ma family wanted to sell the yard, and called the sixth son back, asking him to withdraw five hundred taels from the account of the Qingshan Fresh Fruit Workshop.

"Madam, do you want to use it for these two days?" Liuzi hesitated slightly.

Xia Wan knew that there was silver in the account of the fresh fruit workshop, and it was winter, and the workshop did not have a large amount of silver to spend. Seeing that the six sons hesitated, they knew that there was still ± dǐng±diǎn± Xiao± said, .¤.∞os_(); Something else, he asked, "Recently, Shang Ji needs to use a large sum of silver?" ”

"The little one hasn't had time to tell you, I got the exact news the day before yesterday that the cloth village of the Wang family on Silk Street is going to be sold in the near future, and we are now sixty percent sure that we can take it down." Liuzi replied, this morning Zhao Zhongxuan's plan was successful, and the possibility of buying the cloth village is a few points higher, even if it is cheaper, this cloth village cannot be bought without two thousand taels, and the silver that can be moved on the Meixian branch account is not enough, and the silver has to be taken from the Huangxian head office to make up the number.

Xia Wan was overjoyed when she heard this, "Really? This is a very good thing, and the money in the account is immediately used to buy the cloth house, and there is no need to withdraw it. "When the Meixian grocery store opened, they also had to worry about the location, Silk Street was prosperous, but they couldn't buy a suitable place, and now they finally have such an opportunity.

The sixth son returned home and sat on the kang without saying a word for a long time. When Chuncao came back, he looked like he was not energetic, and said worriedly, "What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?" ”

"No, the girl called me over today, and wanted to pay five hundred taels of silver from the account of the shop, and then I heard Xia Man say that she wanted to buy the yard of the Ma family. Although the courtyard of the Ma family is large, I estimate that two thousand taels is enough, and there are no big expenses in our house this year, so how can the girl not have enough silver in her hand. The sixth son snapped his fingers and calculated, "Not counting the income of the two dowry shops in the girl's hand, only last year's income of Shangji and Zhong Peony was 2,500 taels, and there was no major expenditure in the house." ”

They are all slaves brought out by Xia Wan from the Xia family, although they have changed their mouths to call Xia Wan Mrs. in the face, but they are still used to calling her a girl in private.

Chuncao is Xia Wan's personal maid, helping her to clean up her private property and other things, and sighed and said, "On the surface, there is really no major expenditure, but the master can be promoted this year, do you think it is a strong wind!" The lord has been to Dongping Mansion many times for this reason, and he has also been to Jingzhong twice, which time did he not say that he would spend money? ”

The sixth son of the Xia family was born in a businessman, the sixth son is young, and the people he contacts on weekdays are all businessmen, and he is not familiar with these officialdoms. No wonder there are so many corrupt officials, who doesn't feel distressed when this sum of money is smashed in, and doesn't want to get it back? I thought that the old man would take the path of Li Jingang and Li Tong's judgment, and the promotion would naturally come to fruition. ”

Speaking of this, Chuncao pursed her lips and complained, "The old man's family has a thin background, if it weren't for the income of the businessman, the girl is afraid that she will have to pawn the dowry again." Hmph, the old man still doesn't know how to treat his wife well, there are four concubines in the room, and the day before yesterday, someone sent a courtesan to the house, and the girl had to accept it although she was not happy. With so many idlers, which one can save money! Thanks to the second girl, our girl has become more and more energetic in the past two years, so she was not angry with these foxes! ”

The second girl, that is, Lan Yi. Lan Yi is grateful to Xia Wan for helping her in times of crisis, why shouldn't Xia Wan be grateful to Lan Yi. If it weren't for doing business with her, if it weren't for Zhou Weiji's relationship, how could Mi Yichao get into Li Jingang's eyes.

The sixth son hurriedly persuaded, "Tell me this, but you can't go outside and say it." The girl has two young masters, can they still toss tricks? You should persuade the girl on weekdays, man, it's just a temporary novelty. ”

Chuncao twisted Liuzi's ears and glared, "If you dare to be 'fresh', see that I don't break your dog's legs!"

Liuzi exaggeratedly screamed in pain, "I have been the only one in my heart since I was a child, and it is too late to hurt you, where is there a side thought!" ”

"Hmph, you don't dare!" Chuncao let go of his ears, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden, "I'll go buy meat and make dumplings to eat at night." ”

Liuzi hurriedly stood up, "I'll go do something diǎn, just buy it back by the way, and you can rest at home." ”

The sixth son went to Wang Chunrong, told him what happened in the morning, and took out a small box from his baggage, "This is Wang Chengsu's concubine." ”

Wang Chunrong opened the box and saw that it was some jewelry and silver taels, counted more than fifty taels, and exclaimed, "I didn't expect one of Wang Chengsu's concubines to have such a lot of money." ”

Liuzi smiled, "These are the news money of Brother Chunrong." This is also a customary rule, Wang Chunrong did not refuse, looked through the wooden box again, took out the dagger and cut the flannel at the bottom, and inside were two letters.
