Chapter 179 Purchase of real estate
Shen Xinyue looked at the thick account book in front of her and flipped through it casually, not only did it involve a wide range of industries, but they were all profitable industries like porcelain, gold ornaments, and cloth.
Each record was very clear and clear, and the long string of numbers recorded on it made her secretly frightened.
Lu Zhong said domineeringly: "I have handed over all my net worth to you now, and there is no chance to regret it, you can only be mine." ”
Shen Xinyue asked tentatively, "Can I refuse?" ”
Lu Zhong glanced at her and said in a threatening tone: "What do you say?" ”
Shen Xinyue: "It shouldn't be." ”
"The young master said that the girl wants to buy a yard in the city, but I wonder where the girl is going to buy it? The imperial city is in the north, near the mansion ......"
Liuyun began to introduce Shen Xinyue in detail to the pros and cons of the mansion in various directions.
"Now many of the mansions of the nouveau riche are in the south of the city, where not only the mansions are spacious and quiet, but most importantly there are many excellent academies, and the slaves and maids have heard that the girl's family has younger brothers and sisters who want to go to school. Although the east and west places are lively enough, judging from the development prospects and all aspects, the slave maid feels that the south of the city is the best location. ”
Shen Xinyue didn't expect that the ancients also had the concept of school district housing.
"You analyzed it very well, let's go to the south of the city tomorrow."
……
Shen Yingyue followed Li Jingchen all the way to King Chen's mansion, and as soon as she lifted the curtain, she stretched out a hand.
Shen Yingyue was stunned.
"What are you doing? Your sister entrusted you to me, and I don't want you to leave my house and say that I have neglected you. That's a unforgiving lord, and I don't want to get myself in trouble. ”
still hated Shen Xinyue in his heart for saying that he had a hidden illness, and Li Jingchen's attitude towards Shen Yingyue was not too friendly.
"Your Highness is golden and noble, how dare slaves and maids bother." Hearing him slander his eldest sister like this, Shen Yingyue's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she went straight around his hand, lifted her skirt and jumped out of the carriage.
Li Jingchen was deflated, so he could only take his hand back stupidly.
"If there is really a sister, there must be a sister, and this king can't even say half a point."
"Did Your Highness misunderstand my eldest sister? In my heart, she is the best sister in the world. ”
Seeing that her eyes were slightly red, Li Jingchen hurriedly defeated: "Okay, except for her bad temper, she is indeed okay." ”
Li Jingchen said that he would lead the way before starting, but he couldn't help but start slandering in his heart.
In this way, it seems that the sisters are still a little different, this is not as thick-skinned as Shen Xinyue.
Shen Yingyue followed behind him step by step, but her eyes unconsciously observed the surrounding scene.
After staying in the palace for more than half a year, she was trembling all day, and she almost forgot what it was like outside.
Looking at the red and willow green flowers in front of her, Shen Yingyue felt for the first time that the sky outside was so high that even the air was no longer dull, and it seemed to have the smell of flowers.
"This Shen girl......" Li Jingchen was about to introduce himself to the housekeeper, when he thought of something, he turned his head and asked, "By the way, what's your name?" ”
"The slave's name is Shen Yingyue."
Listening to her gentle and gentle voice, Li Jingchen frowned slightly: "You don't have to call yourself a slave here." ”
Not to mention Shen Xinyue, even Lu Chong is also an extremely protective master, in order to reduce trouble, it is still okay to pretend.
Seeing this, the housekeeper on the side couldn't help but secretly take a few more glances at Shen Yingyue.
He has been waiting by his side since King Chen opened the mansion alone, this is the first time he has brought a woman back, and it seems that he still cares very much.
Subconsciously, his attitude towards Shen Yingyue was also a little more respectful.
"Master, where does Miss Shen want to arrange to live, or is it arranged in your Tingyuxuan?"
Li Jingchen put his fingers into a fist and coughed lightly on the side of his mouth: "It's arranged in Yilan Courtyard." ”
Yilan Courtyard was next to Tingyuxuan, and the housekeeper understood it and was busy arranging people to prepare.
In another courtyard of King Chen's mansion, there lived Li Jingchen's four concubines, one of whom was the concubine of the eldest girl Qingxiang who had been with him all the time.
The other three were warm steps sent by several other princes.
"The prince personally brought it back, can you see it clearly?" Qingxiang stared at the little girl who came to report, for fear of missing a trace of news about the other party.
"The slave and maid saw it clearly, and the prince deliberately reached out to help her get out of the car."
Qingxiang stirred the handkerchief stiffly: "Since you have entered the house, why haven't you seen anyone coming?" ”
The little girl looked at her and said cautiously: "Back to the girl, that girl was arranged in Yilan Courtyard." ”
Qingxiang's expression changed greatly: "What did you say?" ”
"Didn't my sister hear clearly? As soon as she came, she was arranged in Yilan Courtyard, which was in the courtyard next to the prince, which shows that the prince is very fond of her. ”
Another woman named Rose leaned against the door, her face full of mockery: "We people have been thrown by the prince in this courtyard, and he may not even be able to call our names." ”
Qingxiang's eyes flashed with a gloomy light: "I'm different from you. It's just a plaything sent by his own master, and the prince won't forget me. ”
Thinking of something, she quickly adjusted her mentality, called the little girl and turned back to her room.
After a lot of freshening up, I went out of the yard.
"Lord Wang, Qingxiang heard that you came back from the palace and cooked your favorite ginseng soup."
Li Jingchen was handling official business, and his brows furrowed slightly when he heard her voice.
But after hesitating for a moment, he called someone in: "Come in." ”
Qingxiang walked to the table with the ginseng soup, and from the moment she entered the door, her eyes almost greedily did not take her eyes off him.
"I still have important business to deal with, so you can go down first if you leave it there." Li Jingchen raised his head and pointed to the position next to him, and then lowered his head again.
Qingxiang tightened her fingers holding the soup bowl, silently put it down, and asked tentatively: "I heard that the prince brought a girl back." ”
"Hmm."
Seeing that he was obviously reluctant to say more, Qingxiang pursed the corners of her lower lips, plucked up the courage and said: "The prince has not come back for a long time, and the slave maid is very worried about it, ...... tonight."
"You go down first."
Qingxiang put down the soup bowl and turned away helplessly.
As soon as I got outside, I couldn't help but have red eyes.
After such a long time, his attitude towards himself is still so cold, he is not willing to look at her even a single look.
Turning her head to look at the courtyard next to her, as if she had made up her mind, Qingxiang turned to leave.
……
Shen Xinyue got up early in the morning, Lu Chong had already left, and after washing up, she had breakfast, leaving Mama Qin at home, and she and Liuyun took a carriage out of the house and went to the south of the city.
As Ruyun said, the further south the carriage went, the fewer people there were on the streets, and the surrounding courtyards became quieter.
Shen Xinyue stopped the carriage in front of a row.
Seeing that their carriage was the symbol of the Houfu in the west of the town, the shopkeeper immediately greeted them warmly.
"Girl, please."
"Do you have a bigger yard? The surroundings are simpler. ”
