On the eighth day, Yun Rong's account book was sent to the Hou Mansion.

"Madam, this ......" Uncle Dong looked at the number in the lower right corner of the account book and was so surprised that he couldn't speak: "She actually ...... Did it. ”

Chu Yan's girl has a smart energy, and she has a great talent for doing business. Yilin was not surprised. She took the account book and glanced at it lightly, and then said to Uncle Dong: "In the future, Yunrong's business will be handed over to her to take care of, Uncle Dong, you go to check the accounts once a month." Give her another piece of the house hand, and if she comes to me, I don't have to stop her. ”

"Okay." Uncle Dong's jaw.

Lin Yi'an sat down and took a sip of tea, and said, "Have you redeemed all the silver tickets I want?" ”

"It's all redeemed." Uncle Dong respectfully took out a stack of silver tickets from a large wooden box with three locks, "Madam, according to your orders, except for the items rewarded in the palace, the rest of the things that can be sold have been sold, a total of 100,000 taels." The money and the contract are here. ”

As a very favored Hou Mansion, it took almost all the net worth to raise 100,000 taels of silver, and it really looks a little shabby in Yejing, where many nobles gather.

After Lin Yi'an finished reading the account, when he took out a pen and ink letter, and stored the silver ticket and envelope together, he then said to Li Chun with a serious expression: "This is the entire net worth of the Hou Mansion, you must hand it over to the eldest brother in person." ”

Lichun has always been the most distressed about money, and when she heard all the words "net worth", she even tightened her scalp. After carefully putting away the things, she asked weakly, "Madam, don't you keep a silver ticket?" ”

Of course, Lin Yi'an knew Lichun's unspoken worries, and she showed a relieved smile: "Don't worry, as long as Yunrong Pavilion is here, the Hou Mansion will not starve to death." ”

After Lichun left, the smile on Lin Yi'an's face gradually faded. It's a big gamble. No matter how mature her mind is, she is still a fourteen-year-old girl. It's not that she doesn't have worries, but she can't show it, otherwise how can she make the people below feel at ease.

"Ma'am." Uncle Dong Xu felt the sudden cold atmosphere around him, and he said, "Your dowry still has eleven times left." Seeing that Lin Yi'an's face was not very good-looking, Uncle Dong hurriedly explained: "This eleventh multiplication is the makeup given to you by Prince Lin, and I specially instructed you to open it yourself, so when Su Rong came to count last time, he didn't open the box." This time, you ordered to sell everything that could be sold in the mansion, and I thought that this was specially instructed by Prince Lin, so I didn't dare to touch it. ”

"Why didn't Su Rong mention this to me?" Lin Yi'an muttered.

"There are a lot of things to do about the big wedding, and there are some people who forget about it for a while."

Since Lin Yuanshan specially instructed Lin Yi'an to open it personally, the things inside must not be ordinary objects. Lin Yi'an got up: "Take me to see." ”

Sure enough, it's not an ordinary object.

Eleven huge chests were filled with silver ingots of snowflakes.

It's full, and one more box won't be able to snap it up.

Lin Yi'an and Dong Shugu were stunned.

No one has ever given a dowry to a daughter in the family with silver directly, because it looks tacky and cannot be put on the table.

But that's actually the most tangible thing.

It's a shame. If Lichun's girl saw so much money, I was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to hold her usual majesty, and she would have to jump with excitement. Lin Yi'an came back to his senses and calculated silently in his heart.

The eldest brother is really the eldest brother, and with a casual makeup, he arrived at most of her Hou Mansion.

"Madame...... This Lin Dagongzi is really generous...... "Uncle Dong sighed.

Generous indeed. Lin Yi'an walked to the side of the round stool and sat down: "Find a few good guards tomorrow, and then send all this silver to the money bank to exchange it for silver tickets, and let Lichun send it to the eldest brother." ”

"The old slave dared to ask, what is the lady going to do with this money?"

"I want to buy something." Lin Yi'an said.

What is so valuable? Uncle Dong doesn't think that Lin Yi'an is a person who uses his livelihood to exchange for vanity. He looked at the young lady who was sitting on a stool and drinking tea slowly, she looked calm and relaxed, but she was ...... It's reassuring.

Lin Yi'an gently put down the cup: "I want to buy a piece of land." ”

Buying land is not a big deal, Uncle Dong put his mind at ease and asked very intimately: "Which farm does Madame want to buy?" Do you want to grow food or fruit trees? Need help? ”

"It's not necessary, and it's not a big deal." Lin Yi'an tugged at the corners of his mouth: "It's just that I want to build a building on the bank of the Han River." ”

Uncle Dong: ???!!!

Yejing's most prosperous Han and Han River banks...... Build a building?!

The heart that had just been put down suddenly rose to his throat. Uncle Dong can be regarded as knowing why the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were sent out and he didn't even see a single water. That is the Han River, the gathering place of the four floors and two boats, the best and most extravagant territory in Beijing, where how many wealthy gentry, dignitaries and nobles are drunk and dreaming and dying, spending a lot of money.

It's a real place to burn money.

The money to buy a piece of land there and build a building is not enough to sell a few Hou Mansions.

After all, she was still a fourteen-year-old girl, and it was really inappropriate to think about it. Uncle Dong just called out to Mrs. and wanted to dissuade him. Unexpectedly, people were looking at him with a smile and said, "I even have a name in mind, so I'll call it Yashe." Uncle Dong, what do you think is good? ”

Lin Yi'an asked this question and blocked all the words that Uncle Dong wanted to say in his throat, and he asked: "The old slave can't figure it out, if Madam wants to make money, in addition to Yunrong, there are many shops under the Hou Mansion, why do you want to give up others and do business in the Han River?" ”

"Lord Hou holds military power and is deeply favored by the emperor. Yunrong's signboard is loud and the business is excellent. But for such a shop, one in the Hou Mansion is enough. There is a saying that when the moon is full, it is lost, and when the water is full, it overflows. If a powerful minister with military power has a lot of wealth, how many people will be red-eyed? ”

That's the truth. Although Uncle Dong understands, he still doesn't understand Lin Yi'an's move to build a house.

He thought for a moment, and always felt that the fact of building a building was not appropriate, so he decided to change the persuasion method to a more tactful way: "Having said that, we have other business to do in private. Madam, after all, the area around the Han River is the gathering place of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, if it is known, I am afraid that it will cause criticism. ”

"I hid this matter very well, and besides, there is ......" Lin Yi'an's eyes fell on Xia Zhi, who had just walked in: "I was about to mention you, so you came." ”

"I've seen Madame." Xia Zhi Fufu was blessed, and he bowed slightly to Uncle Dong: "Uncle Dong is also here." ”

Uncle Dong looked at the summer solstice, and then at Lin Yi'an, feeling that he was a little understood, but also a little confused. He could think that Lin Yi'an might hand over the Yashe to Xia Zhi to take care of, but he really couldn't think of why a good lady Hou would go all out to a place like the Han River where the water was deep.

"I heard that your brother fell into the river when he came home from school, and when he came home, he had a high fever, which burned out his brain, and he couldn't study again." Lin Yi'an took the tea lid in his hand and gently brushed off the jasmine floating in the teacup, and sighed: "It's really pitiful, the only son has no hope and has become a drag on the family, and his wife's age is no longer suitable for giving birth, your father probably thinks that there is no hope for this day, and he should ...... It's desperate. ”

yes, it was their desperation that was originally wanted. That's the best revenge, isn't it? When the hope of the past has become a drag on the present, Xia Zhi also wonders if his heartless father will simply throw away his stupid son as he did when he sold her.

Xia Zhi looked at his different master calmly: "The family matter is over, and I don't have much to worry about." My life was saved by my wife, and my wish was also ended by my wife, and Xia Zhi was only loyal to his wife in this life. ”

"But under me, loyalty alone is not enough, but also ability." Lin Yi'an said lightly: "The elegant house that I built with all the strength of the Hou Mansion will not ask for a useless person. Tomorrow, you will take the jade plaque to the Red Sleeve Tianxiang Building in the Han River to find a girl named Auntie. ”

"There will be nine people in there who will study with you in the Red Sleeves Tim Xiang Building. A month later, when the House is built, I will leave behind the best of them. The beautiful eyes that were always smiling looked at the woman standing with their heads bowed with deep meaning at this moment: "Xia Zhi, don't let me down." ”

What exactly do you want to do?

Uncle Dong looked at the two of them and fell into deep thought.
