It's already evening, and when the teahouse and wine shop are lively, places like the bookstore are said to be deserted, but the front of the Qingsong bookstore is very abnormal, and there are a lot of people gathered.

The steward was suspicious, and suddenly the sound of crackling firecrackers sounded, which startled him, and then looked at a lot of red whip skins on the ground, it turned out that this firecracker had been set off more than once.

The steward was even more puzzled, and pulled a person next to him and asked, "It's not a New Year's Day, why did this Qingsong Bookstore set off firecrackers?" ”

The man looked like he was talking a lot, and he couldn't wait to say what he knew: "Qingsong Bookstore has changed hands!" ”

The steward's face changed: "Change hands? ”

"Yes, I heard that it was the cousin girl of Shaoqing's Mansion who took a fancy to this bookstore at a glance and bought it for 20,000 taels. The old owner was happy to make money, and with the new owner and the new atmosphere, the bookstore set off firecrackers. Brother, you're late, and you sprinkled copper plates just now......"

The more the man spoke, the more excited he became, and the person next to him also added: "20,000 taels to buy such a bookstore?" The little girl is not sensible, and the adults in her family also agree? ”

"That's the little girl's own money, and the old lady of Shaoqing Mansion loves this granddaughter very much, so why not agree?"

The person who joined the chat nodded later: "Yes, my own money, naturally I want to spend it how I want." ”

Another person saw that there was a lively talk here, and interjected: "Tsk, I heard that the Shaoqing Mansion was worried about this cousin's family wealth." Now look, do you really want to think that it will be so flowery by the cousin? Sure enough, the rumors are not credible. ”

"Why did the old man go—" Seeing the steward leave in a hurry, the man shouted, and then began to talk with the others.

The steward went back faster than when he came, and went straight to Ruyi Hall to see the old lady.

"Done?" After the old lady asked, she saw the steward's face clearly, and her heart sank.

The steward wiped the sweat from his forehead and told him what he had heard and seen at the Qingsong Bookstore.

"The old slave doesn't dare to make his own decisions, come back and ask the old lady."

"Bastard!" The old lady grabbed the teacup and smashed it to the ground, her face darker than the bottom of the pot.

It happened that Duan Shaoqing came in and was taken aback when he saw the mess on the ground: "Mother, what makes you so angry?" ”

As soon as she heard this, the old lady had too much to say, and took the steward and said: "The good daughter you gave birth to, in order to make her angry with her divorced mother, she went to the garden to beat Qingqing, and tore Qingqing's sleeves in public!" ”

Duan Shaoqing was shocked: "Hua'er actually did such a thing? ”

"Qingqing is not willing to suffer, she wants to stand on her own, and rushes to the street with her baggage!"

Duan Shaoqing was even more shocked: "Running to the street with your baggage? This, what does this look like! ”

The old lady became more and more angry the more she spoke: "In order to appease Qingqing, I promised her to buy Qingsong Bookstore, but who knew that she spent 20,000 taels!" ”

"Twenty thousand taels?" Duan Shaoqing was so shocked that his tone changed.

The old lady didn't finish speaking: "I didn't agree, I sent the steward to retreat, but the Qingsong Bookstore has set off firecrackers, and now we all know that the cousin of the Shaoqing Mansion spent a lot of money to buy the Qingsong Bookstore!" ”

Duan Shaoqing was so shocked that his eyes straightened.

He just went to the government as usual, and so many things happened in just one day?

After a while, Duan Shaoqing relieved himself and said sadly: "Mother, this is to frame Shaoqing's mansion!" ”

The old lady sneered: "Of course I know. ”

Originally, it was over if it was quietly returned, and at most it would lose 2,000 taels of deposit, but in this way, Qingsong Bookstore had to buy it if it was not bought.

"This situation, either the owner of Qingsong Bookstore is afraid that we will break the contract and deliberately spread it, or-" Duan Shaoqing's eyes were cold, "Qingqing is afraid that you will be too expensive and will not arrange for you to buy it!" ”

The old lady listened to it: "What's the use of talking about this now, if it weren't for Hua'er to trouble Qingqing, how could there be such a thing!" ”

Duan Shaoqing was also annoyed by her daughter's willfulness, but her heartache for 20,000 taels of silver overwhelmed her anger: "Mother, really buy a bookstore for Qingqing and let her move out?" ”

The old lady glanced at her son: "Otherwise? Let the world laugh at Shaoqing's Mansion pinching the cousin's family wealth and not letting go? ”

Duan Shaoqing was speechless.

"With 20,000 taels, let the world see that Shaoqing's Mansion respects the cousin's arrangement of family wealth, and it is not a loss." After a long silence, the old lady sighed.

This is both a convincing son and a self-consolation.

Duan Shaoqing also knew that 20,000 taels was a loss, and said coldly: "My son is just surprised that a little girl in Qingqing has such a means. ”

"It doesn't have to be Qingqing. Earn so much money in vain, the owner of Qingsong Bookstore is willing to spit out the fat that has eaten to his mouth? Although the old lady said this, her impression of her granddaughter was different in her heart.

After the mother and son finished chatting, the old lady sent Yuzhu to invite Xin Yuyu.

Xin Yu has changed her clothes, and it is a half-new and not old apricot-colored gown.

This color is more than fresh, delicate and insufficient, listening to Ruyitang's invitation, Xin Yu's heart was completely settled, and he smiled and instructed Xiaolian: "Go and bring me the earrings in the set of ruby jewelry that the old lady gave me to wear." ”

Not long after, Xin Yu, who wore new earrings, arrived at Ruyi Hall.

"Grandmother, uncle." Xin Yu blessed his body.

The girl's movements are elegant and casual, and the whole body is plain and elegant, so a pair of gently swaying pear-shaped ruby earrings are particularly conspicuous.

People are beautiful, gems are good gems, the two complement each other, it seems that people are more and more prominent.

The old lady's eyes fell on the earrings for a long time, and she forgot to speak.

20,000 taels of silver were still spent, and the expensive set of ruby jewelry was gone!

Although this set of jewelry was originally intended to add makeup to his granddaughter, but now that he has given it, he will not have to prepare a better set in the future.

The old lady's silence caused Duan Shaoqing's doubts.

Mother, what's wrong?

Hearing Duan Shaoqing's cough, the old lady came back to her senses and barely squeezed out a smile: "Qingqing, my grandmother and your uncle discussed it, since you like the bookstore very much, buy it." ”

Xin Yu raised her lips: "Thank you, grandmother." ”

Duan Shaoqing said with a straight face: "It's just one thing, we don't have experience in taking care of the bookstore in our house, I'm afraid I can't help you anything." ”

"Qingqing will work hard, but it is really not good, and then sell it."

The old lady and Duan Shaoqing: "......"

The next day, Xin Yu ignored the old lady's forbearance and went to Qingsong Bookstore with the money, but she didn't expect that someone was also there.

"Lord He."

"Miss Kou, is it inconvenient for Fang to say a few words?"

"Of course."

The two stood under a tree behind the bookstore, and Xin Yu raised his head slightly and asked, "What does Lord He have to say to me?" ”

"When I came to the bookstore today, I heard that Miss Kou bought the Qingsong bookstore."

Although Xin Yu was puzzled that the other party had come to ask about this behavior, he was silent on his face: "Yes, I came to pay the balance today." ”

He Qingxiao was silent for a moment, and said, "Miss Kou is expensive." ”
