"Miss, all your savings are here."

Hua Yi put a small box in front of Qin Jingxi, Qin Jingxi counted a few silver tickets, and looked at the broken silver, his brows furrowed fiercely.

"How can there be so little? I remember that I still have a few shops, all of which were given to me privately by my brothers, and you can go and ask me tomorrow how much money I can make if I sell them."

Qin Jingxi suddenly remembered, her eyes were shining again, and she opened her mouth to tell Hua Yidao.

Hua Yi nodded: "Okay, the slave will go and ask tomorrow."

Hua Yi wondered in her heart, what kind of handle or secret did the Wen family have in their hands to make their always stingy young lady so reluctant.

Qin Jingxi lit the letter in his hand, and saw that it had turned into ashes and could no longer be recovered, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, Qin Jingxi was waiting for news in the Hou Mansion, thinking that Hua Yi would go for a long time, but unexpectedly, within an hour, she came back in a hurry.

"Why did you come back so soon? It's done?"

Qin Jingxi had a look of surprise in her eyes, and there was a little joy in her heart, it seemed that the matter of money had been settled, so that Wen's mouth could be blocked.

After Hua Yi entered the door, she hurriedly closed the door with her backhand, and then whispered, "Oh no, Miss, all your shops have been sold!"

"What ?!!?"

Qin Jingxi was shocked: "Impossible! How could it be sold? It's all my shop, and if I don't nod my head, who can sell it?"

"The slave didn't know what was going on, but after I went, I found out that the shopkeeper had all changed, the rouge shop, the pastry shop, and the inn had all changed, and the signboard had also been changed."

Hua Yi was also puzzled: "I inquired with the surrounding merchants, and they said that they had changed two or three years ago, but they almost never saw who the new owner was."

Qin Jingxi couldn't believe it, she shook her head: "Impossible! The title deed should still be in my mother's possession, so I'll ask my mother."

Qin Jingxi came to Changbai Courtyard uneasily, and when she entered the door, she saw that the second and third brothers were there.

In the past, when the second brother and the third brother came to say goodbye to their mother, they would call themselves together, why did they come by themselves today?

Such a thought flashed in Qin Jingxi's mind, but she didn't say it, the focus of today's visit was to ask about the shop.

"Mother, a few days ago, when I went to the street, I happened to pass by our inn, but suddenly found that a good inn has changed shopkeepers, today I asked Hua Yi to go over to see if those shopkeepers are doing things well, but I heard that the second brother and the third brother gave me several shops have changed owners, what's going on?"

Qin Jingxi looked at Bai Wan suspiciously: "Didn't you be snatched up? How can anyone still seize the shop of our Yongchang Marquis Mansion? I'm a little too bold."

When Bai Wan heard this, the corners of her mouth immediately hooked up with a smile: "Your child has really grown up, and he knows that he cares about his own industry."

Seeing Bai Wan's unhurried appearance, Qin Jingxi's heart had a bad premonition.

Bai Wan continued: "Those shops can't make a lot of money all year round, so I made the decision to resell them, our Hou Mansion is now very expensive, and the money from the sale of the shop is in the hands of my mother, you can rest assured, our Yongchang Hou Mansion is no matter how down, and no one dares to bully us to rob our shop."

"When it happened, I don't know, the inn was given to Sister Jingxi from my share."

Qin Guanrui also asked with a shocked expression.

Qin Guanming followed up and asked, "Is the pastry shop I gave to my sister also sold?"

"Your pastry shop, all the daily pastries that can't be sold are thrown away, and at the end of the year, you lose a few hundred taels of silver, but you don't want to sell them."

Bai Wan said casually.

However, every sentence was like a needle, pierced Qin Jingxi's body.

"Mother, how can you sell the shop you gave me, it's mine, you don't ask

Ask my opinion?"

Did all the money from the sale of the shop be used to prepare a dowry for Qin Chaojiu? That's why you deliberately didn't tell yourself?

If she hadn't discovered it by accident this time, how long would her mother hide it from her?

"Don't worry, on the day of your wedding, your mother will definitely give you a few more shops as a dowry, it should be yours, and there will be no less. Okay, don't be angry, by the way, second brother, if you're okay these days, just take your sister out for a walk, I think your sister is going to be bored."

"No need mother, I also made an appointment with Miss Shen Wu, oops, it's not early, mother, I'll go out first."

"Go early and come back early."

"Got it, I'll be safe."

Qin Jingxi smiled sweetly at Bai Wan, but when she turned around, the smile on her face disappeared immediately.

Originally, she was a little hesitant today, but now it seems that whether it is her mother or her second brother, she is no longer what she used to be.

In that case, don't blame her for being ruthless.

Qin Jingxi took the carriage to General Shen's mansion, and the sky suddenly fluttered with snowflakes, and the fluttering snow flakes fell on the warm palm, and soon turned into clear water.

The coldness of the hand.

Qin Jingxi retracted his hand from the window: "It's all about this emotional thing, such as people who drink water and know how warm and cold they are, Huayi, you say, am I cold or warm now?"

Hua Yi shook her head: "The slave maid is stupid, I just feel that the weather outside today is really cold, although there is no wind, it is still dry and cold, but there is a charcoal fire in this carriage, but it is much warmer."

Qin Jingxi chuckled, it was clear that her eyes were immature and clear, but there was ruthlessness hidden in the depths.

"I just feel cold."

Qin Jingxi spoke slowly.

The carriage finally stopped at General Shen's mansion, and Qin Jingxi came to Shen Yajun's courtyard under the guidance of his subordinates.

In the past, when they had a deep sisterhood and a good relationship, she often came to Shen Yajun's yard.

But later, when I handed over the post, I was often blocked back by various reasons, and this time it was an accident.

"Yajun, I haven't seen you for a long time, why do you see that you are so haggard?"

Qin Jingxi thought about Shen Yajun and Qin Chaojiu getting closer and closer, and a coldness spread out from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't show anything on her face, but walked over to Shen Yajun quickly, took her hand affectionately, and looked at her face with concern.

Shen Yajun pulled Qin Jingxi to sit down, raised her hand to cover the blue and black color under her eyes, and said, "Xu has not slept well at night recently, so he looks a little worse."

"Have you seen the doctor?" Qin Jingxi asked.

"After reading it, the doctor prescribed some soothing medicine, and now I'm taking it." Shen Yajun knew very well why she couldn't eat and sleep, and she also knew that the medicine prescribed by the doctor only treated the symptoms but not the root cause.

"By the way, you didn't elaborate on the post, what did you come to me for this time?" Shen Yajun took a sip of tea, only took a shallow taste, and then pushed it out.

The maid beside her handed over the pastry again when she saw this, but after just one glance, Shen Yajun felt that she had no appetite and turned her head to refuse.

Qin Jingxi saw all this in his eyes, but he didn't say much.

She took a bite of the pastry and said, "You know that my second brother had a serious illness a few days ago, and in order to treat my second brother, the Hou Mansion searched for famous doctors and spent a lot of money, and now she has the favor of the Dongping Hou Mansion, and my mother thinks that this favor must be repaid after all, but ......

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Qin Guanming's news, Shen Yajun's listless face suddenly had a glow, she raised her eyes, with a little nervousness in her eyes, and looked at Qin Jingxi.

A trace of speculation became clearer and clearer in Qin Jingxi's heart.

She seemed to have guessed correctly.

"Oops, I almost forgot, Hua Yi, quickly bring the little pastry I brought to Miss Shen Wu."

Hua Yi listened to the order and put down the food box she was carrying.

Qin Jingxi said, "Two days ago, I heard my second brother mention it by chance, and he said Ya

When you like this sweet and sour taste, you propose to bring you this hawthorn pastry. Taste it, the hawthorn flesh is in the fruit, it's very delicious."

"Thank you Jingxi, I didn't expect you to come over to bring me pastries." The smile on Shen Yajun's face was as bright as it had never been.

As soon as she picked up a piece of hawthorn pastry and put it in her mouth, Qin Jingxi's puzzled voice rang in her ears.

"It's strange to say, how can my second brother still remember your preferences, hehehehe."

In Shen Yajun's obviously stiffened expression, Qin Jingxi asked and replied, "My second brother is really a careful person, he has been so careful about everything since he was a child, and he is the most meticulous and considerate of my three elder brothers."

Shen Yajun almost choked on the pastry, and hurriedly took a sip of tea, but he didn't dare to answer Qin Jingxi's words.

"By the way, I almost forgot to get down to business."

Qin Jingxi sighed, approached Shen Yajun a little and said, "My mother wants to send a heavy gift to the Guo family to show her gratitude, but my second brother thinks that this matter is because of him, so he said that he will pay the money himself, but you also know that my second brother doesn't even have a reputation now, how can there be any money, the second brother begged me, but I only have a little bit of silver, which is not enough at all, and now in the whole capital, I can only think of you."

Qin Jingxi suddenly reached out and grabbed Shen Yajun's hand: "Yajun, can you help me?"

Shen Yajun asked without doubt, "How much do you want?"

"One thousand taels." Qin Jingxi spoke calmly.

Shen Yajun was taken aback: "It's just a gift, there's no need to be so valuable, right?" Where can I use a thousand taels so much?"

"That's what I said, but my second brother thinks it's a lifesaver, so it's not good not to report it." Qin Jingxi slowly lowered his head: "If you don't have any, forget it."

"I'm trying to figure it out, you wait for me for a moment."

Shen Yajun frowned, stood up and left.

A moment later, Shen Yajun came back with a small wooden box.

Among them were three hundred taels of silver tickets, and a title deed.

Shen Yajun handed over the title deed and silver ticket to Qin Jingxi's hand and said: "You can use all this money, this title deed is in a mansion on the outskirts of Beijing, it is my mother's former dowry, and now it is in my hands, it has been idle, I once asked, if this mansion is sold, there will be at least one thousand eight hundred taels of silver, but if you are in a hurry, I am afraid that it will be less, you take it to emergency first."

Qin Jingxi's eyes immediately turned red with excitement, and she wanted to cry.

She got up and was about to kneel down for Shen Yajun, but was helped up by Shen Yajun: "What are you doing, get up quickly."

"I don't know how to thank you for such great kindness, Yajun, you are really good."

Qin Jingxi had tears in her eyes, and she was gratefully sent to the gate by Shen Yajun in person.

It wasn't until the lintel of General Shen's Mansion behind him completely disappeared from sight that Hua Yi covered her chest and asked, "Miss, what should I do if this matter is known by the second son or Mrs.?" Such a large sum of money, this ......."

Hua Yi was worried.

Qin Jingxi chuckled disapprovingly, "They won't know."

If they dare to ask her for this money, she will dare to ruin Shen Yajun's reputation!
