I was a princess in ancient times

Ji Xinxue's expression remained unchanged, she took back her feet as she was about to go downstairs as if nothing had happened, and stood there trying to reason with Xiaojun Wang, "When I moved into the Xiulou, Dean Jiang didn't say that the Xiulou is a place for you, and I paid an additional 200 taels of silver to Dean Jiang."

The Xiaojun Wang's calm brows and eyes were turbulent, as if he was hesitating because of Ji Xinxue's words.

After a while, the Xiaojun Wang continued, "Now that you know about this, can you return the Xiulou to me? I am willing to double the compensation for your loss. Is 500 taels of silver enough? 1000 taels of silver is also fine."

Prodigal son, no, rich man!

Before meeting King Xiaojun, the most spendthrift person Ji Xinxue had ever met was King Jia.

King Jia is the owner of the palace, and is the adult prince of Emperor Yanguang.Although Emperor Yanguang was harsh to his son, he was very much in favor of his son'enjoying life'.The things that are rewarded to the prince's and princess's mansions every year are directly allocated from the inner treasury, such as gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, and rewards for anything rare.

Su Zhaoyi in the palace is also one of the few old people in Emperor Yanguang's hidden residence. He was favored alone in the early years, and he has a lot of good things in his hands. Contiguous good shops and large farms in the suburbs of Beijing.

Only in this way can King Jia have the confidence to spend money like water.

Xiaojun Wang is only one year older than Ji Xinxue, and his grandfather and father are still on top. Judging from the current situation, the situation in the Duke's Mansion is not good. He even made such a lavish move, promising to go out with a thousand taels of silver, his eyes are blind Don't blink.

Moreover, judging from the expression and attitude of the Xiaojun King, Ji Xinxue has no doubt that if he is really willing to give up Xiulou, the Xiaojun King is willing to give more money.

Ji Xinxue's tense body relaxed, and she walked briskly downstairs.

Compared with the day when he beat Qi Zhu violently in the school, the attitude of the little county king can be called "communicative and generous" and "kind and amiable".

Ji Xinxue is still willing to chat with Xiaojun Wang as long as she doesn't do it directly.

Walking downstairs, Ji Xinxue asked Xiaojun Wang, who was half a head taller than him, "Can you sit down and talk?"

The little king nodded, and walked to the low table by the window with Ji Xinxue, and sat on both sides of the table.

Perhaps it was the Xiaojun Wang who easily agreed to Ji Xinxue's words. Although his face was still expressionless, the stormy aura on his body dissipated invisible, which eased the depressive atmosphere in the embroidery building a lot.

Ji Xinxue asked Bijuan to bring two cups of sweet red bean soup, and continued to reason with Xiaojun Wang, "The Xiulou was originally a place where the girls in the courtyard took sewing classes. Later, the sewing classes were cancelled, so it was abandoned."

Xiaojun Wang put down half of the red bean soup, although he didn't understand why Ji Xinxue suddenly mentioned the origin of Xiulou, he didn't interrupt.

Ji Xinxue blinked vigorously, pretending not to see Xiaojun Wang's 'red beard', "I came to the school before you, and I moved into this deserted place before you."

So Xiulou is mine, not yours.

I didn't steal anything from you.

The king of Xiaojun understood Ji Xinxue's words.

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and actually felt that what Ji Xinxue said made sense.

The seat of Hanmeiyuan belonged to him because he was born as the king of Xiaojun and the future king of Xianglin County.

The abandoned embroidered building in the Hanzhu Courtyard was unowned, and County Lord Ningshu came one step ahead of him.

But he really wanted this place.

"3000 taels of silver, can you give me this place?" Yu Heng raised his head again, staring at Ji Xinxue's expression without blinking, and suddenly increased the size, "I can pay up to 9000 taels of silver, and I can't afford it." It can be exchanged for an equivalent treasure toy."

Ji Xinxue secretly covered Qiu Fu's heart, and suddenly became curious, "The king of Xiaojun bought all the 9000 taels of silver in his hand, but this embroidery building can only be used for four years, not to mention whether it is worth it, you are not afraid When you need money again, you have no choice but to be in a hurry?"

Yu Heng's calm eyes gradually turned into doubts, "Who told you that I only have 9000 taels of silver?"

"The highest price is 9000 taels of silver, because my mother told me, 'Grandma once said that money should not be used by others to manipulate us.' Although I really need this embroidery building, I must not let you earn too much. You are greedy, and you want to earn a second time, and deliberately plot against me for this."

Facing the serious Xiaojun Wang, Ji Xinxue suddenly had nothing to say.

With a capital of 200 taels, you can earn 800 taels by changing hands. What a huge profit?In the eyes of Xiaojun Wang, it is actually 'you can't make too much money'.

It is rumored that there are countless properties under the name of Princess Zhong'an, and that Princess Xianglin even managed Xiangyuan and Linzhang, two well-known and wealthy places, into the back garden of Princess Xianglin's mansion, which is not groundless.

If he was a member of the British government, he would definitely enshrine the God of Wealth as his ancestor, but if the God of Wealth leaked something from his fingers, it would be enough for the British government to feed for several lifetimes.

"I'm sorry, I also need this embroidery building very much." Ji Xinxue exhausted all her strength to refuse the opportunity of getting rich, and leaned back on the chair with a face full of lovelessness.

Disappointment flashed across Yu Heng's eyes, he picked up the teacup that was set aside, drank the remaining red bean soup in one gulp, got up and said goodbye to Ji Xinxue, "Thank you County Lord Ningshu for your hospitality, if you If you change your mind, you can come to me anytime."

"Wait" Ji Xinxue called to Yu Heng who was about to go out with a red beard, and the corners of his tired eyes suddenly turned cunning, "Let me guess why you suddenly came to me to embroider a building, do you want to leave a certain place?" Some people are farther?"

Except for the bookboys chosen by everyone, the rest of the schoolboys in Hanzhuyuan crowded into Yu Heng's small courtyard every day, and Yu Heng didn't see it feeling crowded, and wanted to find a wider place again.

Today, as soon as Qi Zhu came to school, Yu Heng came to Xiulou.

It must be what Qi Zhu did that made Yu Heng suddenly change his mind.

Yu Heng stopped in place, turned around to face Ji Xinxue, neither nodded nor denied.

Ji Xinxue pointed out a clear path for Yu Heng, "I remember that the residence chosen by the Xiaojun Wang was the easternmost courtyard, and the six surrounding courtyards were all vacant."

Seeing that Yu Heng still showed no signs of enlightenment, Ji Xinxue was a good person, "The king of the small county is kind-hearted, and he couldn't bear to see the book boys have nowhere to go, so he allowed the book boys to stay in your small courtyard. However, the small courtyard can't accommodate so many book boys. The little prince might as well rent out all the empty courtyards around the place where he lives, like me. This can not only accommodate the schoolboys, but also prevent the schoolboys from being too noisy when they walk around, disturbing the little prince."

There are 11 students in Hanzhuyuan this year, but there are far more than eleven small courtyards for students to choose from.

On the first day of coming to Guozijian, Ji Xinxue once noticed that although the small courtyards are small, there are always three or five small courtyards close together, but not all small courtyards are in the same area.

Ji Xinxue can be sure that as long as Yu Heng asks, even if Qi Zhu has already moved his luggage into the small courtyard around where Yu Heng is staying, Dean Jiang will personally come forward and 'persuade' Qi Zhu to settle elsewhere.

After all, the vacant small courtyard is vacant, and it needs to be repaired every year and every season. It is better to rent it to the king of the small county, and it can also add some income to Hanzhuyuan.

Even if it's for money, Dean Jiang will stand by Yu Heng's side.

In fact, in the conflict between Yu Heng and Qi Zhu that day, Dean Jiang was completely on Yu Heng's side.

In Dean Jiang's eyes, Yu Heng and Qi Zhu came out of the British government together, and it was the safest way for her to punish Qi Zhu, who was only the bastard son of the British public's youngest son, to Yu Heng, who was honored and respected.

Even if the British Duke himself were here, he could not find any fault.

If it wasn't for Yu Heng's reason for beating Qi Zhu that both Guozijian and British Duke could not get down, Dean Jiang would not have turned against him temporarily, but instead blamed Yu Heng.

Even after defecting that day, Dean Jiang's punishment for Yu Heng was to copy the "Court Rules" in a fair manner.

It was Yu Heng who couldn't bear the slightest bit of anger, and insisted on continuing to fight against Qi Zhu, and let all the men who were holding up the fight lose the color, so that the matter would become a complete mess.

A bright color suddenly flashed in Yu Heng's dark eyes, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Thank you for the pointer, the county magistrate, I'll go find Dean Jiang right away."

Ji Xinxue watched Yu Heng leave briskly, and was about to go back upstairs to catch up on sleep, when Yu Heng suddenly turned her head.

The expression on the face of the little county king who was backlit was blurred, but the sincerity in his tone couldn't be faked, "How about Xiao Wang giving the county magistrate a set of sapphire heads as a thank-you gift? Or does the magistrate prefer decorations like coral trees? Or Any item in any shop in Chang'an can be seen by the county lord, and he can tell Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang will offer it with both hands."

Ji Xinxue smiled, "I rented the embroidery building for four years, including the five maids and the annual maintenance cost of the embroidery building. The total cost is only 120 taels of silver, and the remaining 80 taels are the ice charcoal that the embroidery building uses more than other places. In the small courtyard, each small courtyard will bring two servants, and the maximum will be 25 taels for four years. If you give too much, I am afraid that Dean Jiang will become greedy."

"As for the gift." Ji Xinxue reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​eating a big family, and chose what he needed more, "I don't like to communicate with people too much, but I can't easily refuse the closeness of my classmates. Please ask the little prince to meet me when I am in a predicament. , can speak out."

Confusion flashed across Yu Heng's eyes. He didn't think County Lord Ningshu was someone who couldn't refuse others, but County Lord Ningshu's request was not too much, so he didn't go into it. long.

After Yu Heng's figure completely disappeared, Bijuan, Qingyun and Lvzhu who were standing together heaved a long sigh of relief, all with varying degrees of weakness in their feet.

In contrast, although I have also heard about the stalwart deeds of the Xiaojun Wang beating his classmates, but it is not uncommon for the book boys to say that the Xiaojun Wang's easy-going temper and generous green bamboo are more useful, at least they can walk.

"County Lord, do you want me to inquire about the small courtyard?" Lu Zhu offered.

Ji Xinxue showed appreciation, patted Lu Zhu's shoulder, and instructed, "Go to the restaurant and get something sweet, don't be a white wolf."

Lying in the warm and soft blanket again, Ji Xinxue let out a satisfied sigh, but after closing her eyes, she always felt as if she had forgotten something.

Forget it, since it can be forgotten, it is not important.

Ji Xinxue raised the corners of her lips, letting herself fall into a sweet dream.
