Chapter 78 Buying a Shop Gets Opportunities
"Madam, you are not partial to one thing over another. These items are all good."
After receiving the porcelain ornaments sent by Wang, Aunt Liu displayed them all for Tao Yiran to see. The items that could be put into the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion were all of good quality, and Aunt Liu's face was full of joy.
Anyone would be happy if they got a few valuable treasures for no reason, and Tao Yiran was no exception. However, Aunt Cai stepped forward with a look of disgust and said that many items in the mansion's storehouse were either the spoils of the old marquis or rewards from the palace, and each one was very valuable.
"Let's not talk about the old lady's things for now. Even the ones that Madam is in charge of are too numerous to count. I just heard that the Second Young Master's wife accompanied Madam to check the warehouse today. When she left, she took several items back to Qiushi Courtyard. I'm afraid they were all carefully selected items."
"The young lady is not feeling well and cannot serve the lady. The second young lady is also very scheming and is trying to coax the old lady and the lady to side with her. The young lady is afraid that she will suffer."
"This mansion will be run by the prince sooner or later, so Madam should think more about it."
She almost said directly that all the things in the Marquis' Mansion belonged to Tang Rong, and that Wang shouldn't give such good things to Qiushiyuan casually, which made Tao Yiran, who was originally in a good mood, lose interest again.
Aunt Liu secretly hated Aunt Cai for being too talkative and trying to sow discord. How could she say these words so bluntly?
Don’t you understand that walls have ears?
Aunt Liu felt extremely tired as she could not take care of the young lady and the old woman who was always trying to sow discord between them. She then made up her mind that although she could not change her master, it was not impossible to drive Mrs. Cai out. She would have to find an opportunity to let Tao Yiran speak up in person about this matter.
In the Qiushiyuan next door, Xin An, who had just taken a short rest, was about to go to the warehouse when Ershan arrived.
Ershan, who had just come to Qiushiyuan to work yesterday, went out with them today. Yu Lailai took him to get familiar with the roads in the capital.
"Is something wrong?"
Ershan bowed and said, "The master asked me to come back and tell the young lady that there is a shop for sale in the capital. The location is good and the shop is big. It is on Yinghui Street, with four shops in a row."
"If the young lady wants, she can go and have a look. The documents can be signed this evening."
There was no shop in the dowry that the Xin family gave to Xin An, mainly because the Xin family did not have time to go to the capital to buy it, so they converted it into silver as dowry. Xin An had always been thinking about buying a shop, so he asked Tang Rong to keep an eye out for it.
"Do you know who owns this shop?"
Ershan shook his head, "I only know that he is a colleague of yours."
"Okay, you know the way, take me there later."
Ershan said he knew the way, "Brother Lailai told me everything."
Xin An asked Aunt Wang to send someone to inform Wang Jin and Wang Fu to wait at Yinghui Street first, and look at the shops together. She also asked Chunyang to get the banknotes, and after they saw something they liked, they should send the banknotes to Tang Mo, and make the decision first.
It is not easy to buy a shop in the capital, and the competition for good shops is fierce.
When everything was ready, he led his people out. Ershan drove Xin An towards Yinghui Road. He was so nervous that his back was straightened and he drove very carefully. Chunyang smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Ershan. Take your time."
Ershan said "hmm" and continued driving nervously. Finally, he sent Xinan to his destination safely and smoothly. After getting off the car, Chunyang praised him and his eyebrows almost flew away with joy.
The shop Tang Mo described was indeed good. There were four rooms in a row and a yard behind them. It took up quite a lot of space and was located at a three-way intersection. The front and back were spacious. Wang Jin and his son arrived first and had already heard the news. "The owner of this shop is the Wang family. The patriarch of the Wang family is a fifth-rank military commander. He said that he wanted to sell the shop because he was short of money recently."
"The price is 20% higher than other shops."
Wang Jin felt that it was a bit expensive. Xin An thought about it and had some information about the Wang family in his mind, but it was very vague. It was normal for a general to be short of money. Maybe there was something urgent that he needed.
At the door of the shop, there was a man who looked like a shopkeeper, looking anxiously in the direction of the carriage. Wang Jin said that he was the one who could make the decision. Xin An got off the carriage and prepared to go to the shop to check the situation in person. Before he even set foot on the ground, the manager came running over, bowed and said, "Meet the Second Young Master's wife."
"No need to be so polite, shopkeeper."
After entering the shop, I found it was bigger and brighter than I had imagined. The goods were neatly arranged. It was a large grocery store. "Don't you think it's a pity to sell such a good shop?"
The shopkeeper, whose surname was Wang, said with a bitter look on his face, "To answer Madam, this shop has an excellent location and layout, and the business is also good. If the owner was not in urgent need of money, he would not be willing to sell it."
The shopkeeper hesitated to speak, and finally stopped talking. Xin An looked around and asked, "Why is the price 20% higher than the market price?"
The shopkeeper said it was decided by the master, "Maybe he really couldn't bear to part with it."
Xin An smiled and looked at the layout of the shop again. In her memory, the capital city would become more prosperous, and it would be even harder to find a shop as she went further. The prices would also rise steadily. It was not easy to find a good shop. "No bargaining, let's just leave it at that."
Shopkeeper Wang was overjoyed. Chunyang first gave him two silver notes of 100 taels as a deposit and said, "When the documents are signed, the balance will be paid. We will go to the government office to handle the red deed ourselves."
The shopkeeper took the banknote and wrote a receipt. He secretly wiped away a tear, his face full of reluctance. "Young Madam, the master wants to allow some people and goods to stay in the backyard for another month?"
"We will find a house and move as soon as possible."
Xin An turned his head. Wang Jin and his son immediately went to the backyard. When they came back, they looked unhappy. "There are 20 to 30 people living here, mostly elderly people, women and children. Almost all the elderly people are disabled."
The long-lost memory suddenly became clear, "Is your master the general Huaiyuan?"
"The person living in the backyard is a veteran from the battlefield?"
Wang You, Lang Jiang of Huaiyuan, took care of many helpless and disabled old generals. She remembered that when Wang You got into trouble later, hundreds of old generals knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. The scene was quite shocking, and the emperor was deeply moved and pardoned Wang You.
The key point is that Wang You's father used to be a subordinate of the old man in the Marquis' Mansion, which means that these disabled old generals have a relationship with the Marquis' Mansion. In his previous life, Wang You never went to the Marquis' Mansion to seek help, so there must be a hidden story.
Manager Wang did not deny it, but looked at Xin An nervously. Xin An chuckled and nodded, "Okay."
Manager Wang bowed and Xin An said nothing more. He got in the car and went straight back home. When he got off the car, he told Ershan to ask Tang Rong to come back early in the evening.
After entering the mansion, she went straight to find Wang.
"How do you find out about this family?"
Wang had doubts, and Xin An told her about buying the shop. "There are 20 to 30 people living in the backyard of the shop. They are all veterans who have retired from the battlefield and have physical disabilities. I don't know much about the situation in Beijing. Thinking about the past events in the Marquis' Mansion, I am worried about the relationship between the Wang family and the Marquis' Mansion."
"If there is none, that's fine. If there is, we have to think of a way. First, it can be considered as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. Second, it is also a good thing. Third, it can avoid leaving any hidden dangers."
