Shopkeeper Lin's father and cousin arrived, and the shopkeepers of several nearby merchants who had a good relationship brought gifts to visit. They met the old shopkeeper a few years ago, and a few years have passed. There are other big changes, and that poor little girl is also a delicate and cute girl who is liked by others, and she is also a sensible person. Judging from the old shopkeeper's love for her, the dowry should not be less. Shopkeeper Lin's is another If you are capable, wait for this girl to become a filial piety, and take a look. If it works, getting married is also a good choice.

After getting acquainted with each other, the days returned to the calmness of the past.If there is anything different, it is that the family-speaking gardens of the mothers' homes in central Beijing have basically been completed, and now they have entered the stage of buying decorations, and the commercial street is particularly lively.

Especially for a store like Duobaoxuan, the business is so good that if it hadn't been informed from above and stored a batch of goods in advance, it might be facing a situation of no goods to sell now.

Yu'er is now the daughter of a merchant's family, and it's okay to show her face occasionally. The requirements are not as strict as those of the ladies, but it's a pity that because of keeping filial piety, it's not easy to go shopping on the street like girls from other families.

Yu'er didn't think it was unacceptable at all. What she wanted to do most now was to increase her strength. She didn't want to be trapped in the back house all the time. I want to play around in that arena.

Yu'er has entered the formal stage of physical training now, and the place on the bed can no longer meet her requirements. Fortunately, the old shopkeeper is also very worried about her physical condition. Seeing a set of simple exercises for body training can strengthen the body.

The biggest wish of the old shopkeeper now is that Yu'er can marry a good man, and then give birth to an heir to the Lin family. If you want to have an heir, Yu'er's health is very important. After she practiced it again, she found that she didn't need to use a knife to grab it. All she needed was a slightly open yard, walking back and forth in the open space, and exercising her muscles and bones while walking.

After looking at it, he found that there was no danger, so the old shopkeeper agreed to Yu'er's body training plan, and cleared a small space in the back house, and spent a lot of time and money to build a thatched roof on the whole space. It must be done so that Yu'er can exercise uninterrupted tomorrow without being exposed to the wind, rain, and sun.

With a quiet environment and a suitable place, Yu'er practiced without distraction, and the progress was quite rapid.

It didn't take long for Yu'er to feel that her body had left the ranks of the weak chickens she despised the most, and finally entered the ranks of normal people. Of course, her normal people are not the standards of people on earth. .

After finishing her physical training today, Yu'er went back to her room to take a bath, put on clean clothes, and as soon as she got out of the room, she saw Ya'er, a newly bought maid in the capital, came in with a panicked face, " Girl... Girl, it's not good... It's not good, something happened, something happened to our shop... Girl..."

Ya'er was instructed by Yu'er to go outside to buy her sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Yu'er took the food box in Ya'er's hand, and she didn't know if she ran all the way in such a panic, did the osmanthus cake disperse.

This sweet-scented osmanthus cake is the most classic pastry of Baifu Bakery, a century-old brand in Beijing. It tastes very good. Correspondingly, its price is also very good. Of course, there are many people who buy it. There is never a shortage of rich people in Beijing. There are countless people and pastries every day, and there are quite a lot of people queuing up to buy them every day. If you go late, they will be gone.

And with their current status, they want to hide wealth, so they can't send people to buy it every day.

"What's the matter, have a sip of tea first, and then talk slowly." Yu'er took out the osmanthus cake that was still intact and took a bite. The scent of osmanthus filled her mouth, rich but not greasy, and the fragrance was intoxicating.

Ya'er listened to the girl's words and poured a pot of herbal tea. This kind of warm tea that doesn't burn people is not good for the girl. The old shopkeeper ordered the girl not to use it. The tea in their room has always been For her impatient.

Yu'er doesn't use this kind of warm or even cool things in the near future, not because of her poor health. Although her appearance gives people a feeling of weak wind supporting willows, her body is actually stronger than many strong men. It's much better.

She doesn't like to use those warm or even cold things, just because she prefers hot and hot things, that hot feeling, like the heat of the blood flowing in her body, makes her feel that she is now A warm person, not a cold machine.

Ya'er's panting eased, but her tone was still panicked, "Girl, when I came back, I saw someone making trouble in our shop. I listened quietly, but I didn't expect it was someone from Rongguo Mansion. They I fell in love with the red coral tree made of jade that is the treasure of our shop. It is a good thing worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, but that man relied on the power of the Rongguo Mansion and only gave 5000 taels of silver. Isn't it robbery? What's more annoying, that person bought our things to look up to our family and give us face. He really thought it would be great to be a concubine. of".

Hearing that it was people from Rongguo Mansion looking for trouble, Yu'er raised her eyebrows. Uncle and cousin didn't have much affection for Rongguo Mansion, and they didn't find fault with Rongguo Mansion for their own sake. I came to the door to pick things up by myself, it's really self-inflicted.

"Hehe, you, what's the big deal for me? It's just an unreasonable buyer who forced me to buy it. My brother has been in the capital for so many years. This is definitely not the first time I have encountered such a thing. Since our shop It is still standing in the capital, which means that my brother can handle this matter well, so don't worry."

Ya'er was not comforted by the girl, "Girl, you didn't know that in Gusu before, this Rongguo Mansion is notorious in the capital, lending usury, taking on lawsuits, bullying men and women, buying and selling by force, doing all kinds of evil, Every year, there are many people whose families are ruined because of the crimes committed by the Rongguo Mansion. They used to dare to do this when there was no relative in their family who was favored by the empress. They have not been questioned for more than ten years. Now they have another empress. It's even more rampant, such a family can't do any vicious things, our family has provoked such a person, how can we live in peace in the future... ".

Ya'er is a native of the capital city. He was sold because his family was poor and couldn't afford it. He has endured hardships for so many years. Now he finally has a good master. He eats well and wears warm clothes. Not tired, this period of time was the happiest time she had ever lived since she grew up, but the Rongguo Mansion that was struck by lightning was going to kill her hard-won happiness just like that.

The more Ya'er thought about it, the sadder she became, and she couldn't help crying.

Yu'er nodded Ya'er's head amusedly, "Why are you crying? If you grab a handful of the royal relatives in the capital, you might smash a royal brother-in-law if you turn around on the wall. There is only one Rongguo mansion in the district, and the other is still alive." There is nothing to be afraid of a lady who has not given birth to a prince, don't worry, my brother can open such a jewelry, jade and antique shop on this street, and the business is so good, there must be a backer behind him who voted for the master, otherwise no one will cover I don’t know how many years ago this shop was encroached and seized by people.”

Ya'er thinks about it, let alone such a big shop that is obviously well run, even old farmers with a little bit of good land in their families will seek asylum under the name of someone with a reputation early on. The master runs such a shop in Beijing. After so many years, how could she not know this, if she, a little girl, came to worry, the master would have been eaten and vomited into scum, how could she still earn such a fortune.

Ya'er, who wanted to understand, stopped crying and wiped away her tears. With a sweet smile on her rainy face, she served Yu'er with tea and water, "Miss, do you know who our family's backer is?" Can you suppress the Rongguo Mansion?"

I really don’t know about this Yu’er. Ever since I came to the capital, Lin Yilin and Er were all sent out by Yu’er to build forces in the rivers and lakes, and there was only Ya’er who took care of her daily life, and her uncle and cousin were just there. See you when you say hello in the morning, and she doesn't care about other things.

Although I don't know which sect my cousin took refuge in after entering Beijing, otherwise he should have a high status.

"Well, I really don't know. Why are you worrying so much? As long as you know it's okay. Come on, save a few of these sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for me to use, and send the rest to your uncle, tell me Everything is fine with him and me, save him from worrying that I will be frightened by the wind, I am in the back house, even if something happens for a while, it will not be affected, uncle and cousin can do whatever they want, don't worry Me, I'm not that timid, well, let's go."

Ya'er knew that her family was not afraid of the Rongguo Mansion, so when she went to worry, she became curious and gossiped about going to the theater, and couldn't help but want to go to the front to see the follow-up development, but it was not easy to leave the girl here by herself, really Confused, listening to the girl's order, she answered yes crisply, and picked a few pieces of the most warm-looking osmanthus cakes for the girl to put in a small box, and put them at the girl's hand, so that the girl can take them at any time. , happily left with the food box.

Lin An looked at the forces clamoring for the Rongguo Mansion in front of him, and told him to hand over the red coral tree as soon as possible. While they were in a good mood, he could still get 5000 taels of silver. Fine wine, let alone 5000 taels of silver, don't even want a penny, and don't even think about opening this shop.

Lin An sneered in his heart. This is the servant trained by the master's Yue family. Watching his slave know his master, if the old master of their family can survive until the master becomes a family and takes charge of his own affairs, the Rongguo Mansion will definitely not be able to be their in-laws of the Lin family. That's it, then The Jia family dared to despise their Lin family, it was really short-sighted.

It's really ridiculous, if they really think they are the real relatives of the emperor, they are so arrogant, isn't it afraid that one day they will lose, and the people they have bullied will come and add insult to injury?

Hehe, he really thought too much, just like the royal bosses in the Rongguo Mansion, how could their second sons think that the He He Rongguo Mansion would lose, maybe they are dreaming about the mother's house of the next emperor.

"I said you don't know what is good or bad. I am in a good mood today, Mr. Jia. I will give you 5000 taels. Don't be shameless and hold it here for me. You have annoyed Mr. Jia and our Rongguo Mansion. Delayed the important event of our family's mother-in-law's family visit, and carefully punished your nine clans."

Jia Xiong looked triumphantly at the crowd of onlookers who were gasping for breath because of his words. Jia Yuanchun's family visit is a major event for the whole Jia family. Since the news came out, everyone in the Jia family wanted to get a job in building the garden , to build such a big garden, and still meet the level of the empress, one can imagine how much oil and water there is in it.

He is not like some other people, who have cut their heads to make connections with Lian Erye, Bao Erye, and Lian's Second Grandma. It is difficult for him to see how to get involved. A generous gift was given, but he just declared his identity and didn't say anything else. After only two days, he got a good job of buying antique jade ornaments for Yuanzi.

You must know that the price of any antique jade is astonishing, and of course the oil and water are also astonishingly high. Let’s say that the coral tree he saw today is a rare good thing. It’s so big and red all over. Just this color can get you a lot of money, and you will definitely be liked by your empress.

This kind of good thing is not common in the palace. The shop asked for 4 taels of silver, and he gave 5000 taels. When he went back, he reported a price of 5 taels to the mansion. Later, he sent 2 taels to Grandpa Lai. My aunt at home gave me 5000 taels, and I can still have 2 taels left. He left at least 3 taels of silver. With this money, he would not have to worry about it for the rest of his life.

Zhu Jiu Clan, what a big tone, a small slave dares to say such a thing, and he is not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue, "I don't care whose slave you are, you just want to buy my town for 5000 taels!" The treasure of the store is really a dream come true.”

After Lin An finished speaking, he ignored Jia Xiong, turned around and went back to the counter, fiddled with the abacus, and looked up to see the little girl serving her sister sticking her head out of the crowd and watching the play with great interest. Not long ago She also went to the inner hall with a face of panic, it seems that her sister must have said something.

At this time, the old shopkeeper came out of the inner hall and walked to his son, "Yu'er said don't worry about her" and then took his son's place and fiddled with the abacus.

Hearing what his father said, Lin An lowered his head and eyes lit up, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and raised his face to tell Xiao Chengzi, "The business can't be negotiated, why don't you hurry up and put away the treasure of our store and put it outside It was accidentally smashed by someone, but I can’t explain it clearly. You must know that you can’t afford it in this world, so you insist on buying it. If you can’t buy it, you don’t want to get it. ".

Xiao Chengzi bared his teeth and responded cheerfully, "The shopkeeper knows, and the little ones will be put away."

Xiaochengzi called two other guys to carefully lift up the red coral, ready to put it back into the box, and then moved it to the back warehouse to lock it up. It is better not to put it in the store recently, so as to save it from being caught by others like today. In order to look at it with the same thought, it is causing a few troubles.

Jia Xiong also bought some things before. As long as those shopkeepers heard the name of Rongguo Mansion, they would not dare to refuse. Today, he suddenly met someone who didn't buy it. He was really stunned. He couldn't believe it. Soon, their Rongguo Mansion is at its most beautiful time, and there are still people who are so ignorant.

After regaining consciousness, I saw a few guys carrying his red corals into boxes, and kicked a few boys who followed, "They're all dead people, I didn't see them wanting to take a fancy to you!" Take the things away, grab them back if you don’t give them back, if you don’t get the things, see if I go back and tell Grandpa Lai to take care of you useless slaves.”

Jia Xiong roared angrily, and the servants of Jia's mansion were used to snatching after Jia Xiong for the past few days, so they rushed towards the red coral tree like a hungry wolf chasing a sheep.

In consideration of the red coral tree, neither of the two parties dared to make a deadly attack, and there was a stalemate for a while. Jia Xiong waited for a while, but he still didn't grab anything. In a hurry, he went up to Rongguo Mansion, which was closest to him. The little boy kicked again, and before he could utter the next curse, he saw that the boy didn't stand still, and rushed towards the red coral. The people who carried the red coral, after such a struggle Grabbing, I didn't have much strength, how could I withstand the impact of a person, I only heard a few crisp sounds, and the red coral shattered into several pieces.

"Okay, you guys didn't even sell it to the Lord even if you broke it. If this is the case, don't take these pieces. If you guys smashed them to pieces, if you won't sell them for 5000 taels, then you won't even ask for a tael of silver." Want to sell it."

Jia Xiong and a few servants smashed the red coral tree, which was still worth some money, into slag, and then walked away.

The onlookers saw that there was no show, and were even more afraid of being raped by the shopkeeper who had suffered a big loss, so they also dispersed.

After that, Lin An smiled and said nothing to the comfort from the neighbors, and then told Xiao Chengzi, "It's a good pair of red coral trees, one is missing. This is the annual interest reported to the master a long time ago, and now I can only give it to you. One is gone, you go and carefully lift that one out of the warehouse, and send it up quickly, it will be stored for a few days, but this one will be gone.”

Xiao Chengzi smiled and said, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I will open the warehouse to move things, and I will send the things up today. At that time, the master will make decisions for the shopkeeper, and the Rongguo Mansion will pay for any losses."

The master Lin An and Xiao Chengzi talked about was the backer Lin An sought after he went to Beijing. The battle for the heir apparent had already begun. The princes with the greatest hopes had many disciples. Lin An, who just came to the capital, just opened a small shop Naturally, they can't see the small role.

By coincidence, Lin An voted for the Fourth Prince, who had always been low-key and peaceful, and became the disciple of the Fourth Prince. At that time, Lin An just wanted to find a prince to protect him so that he could gain a firm foothold in the capital. Heel, as for the future, judging by the behavior of the fourth prince, the hope of sitting on the throne is slim, but it is still possible to be a virtuous king.

After the analysis, Lin An calmly collected some information for the fourth prince, withdrew some money, and helped the fourth prince develop his influence outside the palace, and cultivate available manpower by the way.

Xiaochengzi was sent by the fourth prince to assist him at the beginning. Who would have thought that the most unlikely fourth prince would finally sit on the throne, and he has also become the old backbone of the new imperial party.

Fortunately, the new emperor he met so long ago, the former emperor was a person who employed people without doubting others. At that time, the new emperor was still the fourth prince, so there was no way to find out what was wrong with his new identity. He became the new emperor's confidant, and the new emperor never checked him again. With his identity under these years of management, even if the new emperor checks again, he will not find anything wrong. The same is true for the identities of his father and sister. .

Although he is one of the earliest confidantes of the new emperor, he is only responsible for affairs outside the palace, and the disputes in the palace in the court are not under his control. It's time to deal with the four princes and eight males.

At that juncture, there was a small town beside him, and he didn't dare to send news to the girl to let her leave the Rongguo Mansion. Fortunately, the girl was smart, and she had successfully left before he thought of a way, and even used it with her father. She lost the identity he had prepared for many years and came to his side.

He has thoroughly investigated the grievances my sister has suffered in the Rongguo Mansion these years. He originally cared about the little blood on his sister and thought that it would be fine to wait for the emperor to deal with them, but now he finds the fault on him. Someone said that there is no need to worry about her, if he is not doing anything, if he is not pushing the handle, he himself will not believe that he is so kind.

The emperor had a bad life when he was a child, and he developed a habit of frugality. Of course, there is another point that is to keep money. Anything that belongs to his name, and everything that goes into his pocket, if he wants to take it out again, that is exactly the right thing to do. It was harder than pulling him down from the throne. Of course, only the few confidants who followed the emperor's suffering knew this.

The pair of red corals had already been reported and sent up. The servant of the Rongguo Mansion broke the emperor's things. I don't know if the emperor will change the previous plan and do it in advance. After all, the clumsy servant of the Rongguo Mansion seems to be There are quite a lot, and the things that are broken, destroyed and discarded in the warehouse of Rongguo Mansion will all belong to the emperor in the future.
