Chapter 78
When Song Jiyun returned home, Mrs. Qian was already waiting in the hall.

Seeing her and Yuan Yunzhong entered the hall, she rushed forward to meet her, took Song Jiyun's hand but asked Yuan Yunzhong: "How is the journey? Is the journey going smoothly?"

"Successful!" Yuan Yunzhong saluted Qian Shi, asked Shao Qing to come in to greet Qian Shi, and introduced to Qian Shi, saying that Shao Qing was an old servant of their family. Hearing that he was here, he specially came to see him .

Qian has no doubts.

Yuan Yunzhong's appearance and character cannot be raised by ordinary people.

She had always suspected that Yuan Yunzhong was a child of an aristocratic family, and his family was in decline, so he ended up living in Liyuan.

Not only did she not look down on Shao Qing, but she also told Song Jiyun: "It's rare that Young Master Shao has a heart, remember to come and see Young Master Yuan, don't neglect others!"

Shao Qing blushed so much that she could bleed, and thanked Qian Shi repeatedly.

Qian asked Steward Wu to call for a dinner outside, asked Zheng Quan to accompany the guests, and said: "When they are together, it is inevitable that they will have to drink and socialize."

How dare Shao Qing!

He couldn't even evade it, so he had to bite the bullet and follow Yuan Yunzhong and Zheng Quan to the flower hall in the backyard.

Only then did Mrs. Qian talk to Song Jiyun about herself: "Before you came back, your grandmother came to make trouble, saying that the place she lives in now is too small, and she wants to move to Sanfang."

Song Jiyun sneered, and said: "It's not true that she wants to move there, but is it true that she is afraid that I will sell the three-bedroom house?"

Mrs. Qian also knew, but she couldn't refuse the word "filial piety". Instead, she felt that Mrs. Zeng moved in, and the second room could be quiet: "Otherwise, your eldest uncle will come over today, and your third uncle will come to the city tomorrow. It's no different from before."

"Of course it's different!" Song Jiyun's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Isn't the clan going to run a clan study? It happens that the three-bedroom house is empty, so why not run it there!"

Qian clapped her hands and praised her again and again.

It is not too late.

Song Jiyun simply sent Guanshi Wu to post posts to several clan elders immediately.

He also said with a smile: "I've been busy these few days, and I'm full of travel and dust, so I won't go to say hello to my grandmother."

Let's wait until tomorrow's private school is settled.

Wu Guanshi is also a man with a plan in mind, he immediately understood Song Jiyun's meaning, and said with a smile: "That's right! The third master is ill, and the old lady is so worried these days that she can't eat well or sleep well. Some things can not disturb her old man , it’s better not to bother her old lady. If her old man is really unhappy, he can also invite the master from the nunnery to give lectures to the old lady, and someone will accompany him to talk, maybe he will feel better.”

Three aunts and six wives mostly do things with money.

Wu Guanshi is also a talent!

Song Jiyun nodded repeatedly.

Unexpectedly, several clan elders came over overnight when they heard that they wanted to discuss clan studies.

When Song Jiyun told the story, the clan elders all praised her and kept praising her father for giving birth to a good daughter.

"It's just that, elders of the clan, please keep quiet about this matter," she urged, "I haven't even said anything about this teacher's matter. I let the wind out early. If the gentleman sitting in the hall is not found, how can I Isn't it a joke?"

Everyone felt that her words made sense, and praised Song Jiyun a few more words, and then went back home.

At night, Song Jiyun slept soundly, fragrantly and sweetly.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already high in the sun.

Zheng Quan came to see her and said, "I've already met the shopkeeper of Hong's grocery store. The big shopkeeper said that they don't have Sinan to sell. If you want it, you can go to the shop in Suzhou and Hangzhou to see if you can get it, what?" It’s hard to say if you can ask in time.”

In fact, there are more of these things in Fujian and Guangdong.

She thought about it, and felt that she had to go to this matter herself: "Then you can accompany me to West Street!"

The relatively large shops in Liang County are all on West Street.

She wanted to try her luck in other shops, if not, she would go to Suzhou Mansion.

That's the priority.

Zheng Quan immediately went to hitch a mule cart.

West Street is crowded with people, and they are very lively.

The two walked along the way, and when they saw stationery or sales, they would go in to have a look and ask.

Hard work pays off.

When they passed by a shop selling incense and candles, Song Jiyun suddenly saw several mahogany swords hanging in the shop.

She had an idea.

What she wanted was a magnet, and without Sinan, a compass would work!
She walked in immediately and asked the shopkeeper, "Do you have compass for sale?"

While speaking, she had already seen a compass on the counter for sale.

This is really another village.

She pointed at the compass excitedly: "How much is one?"

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper said: "This one is not for sale! Someone else made a decision and asked me to bring it here from Fujian. Only this one."

Song Jiyun knew that businessmen at this time, no matter how big or small the business was, were based on honesty, and they would not sell another unless the person who made the order was no longer wanted.

She hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, I want to order a compass from you. How long will it take to get the goods?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It depends on luck. Sometimes it takes a year or a half, and sometimes it takes three to five months."

She can't wait that long.

Song Jiyun said: "Which company ordered your compass? I want to ask him to give me this compass. I need it urgently. How much money is not a problem."

But the shopkeeper shook his head and said, "It was ordered by a master from Baoen Temple. He went to Mount Putuo. We made an appointment for him to pick up the goods before the first day of October."

Knowing that she had little hope, she begged the shopkeeper, "Do you know any other sellers of Sinan or compass on this street?"

The shopkeeper said: "This item is rarely used, and the price is expensive, so it is usually reserved."

She can only go to Baoen Temple to find a way.

See if the masters of Baoen Temple still have old compasses in their hands, and sell one to her.

Besides, there must be more people using compass than Sinan.

Song Jiyun walked out of the incense and candle shop briskly.

Who knew that someone was making trouble in the pawn shop next door, and the street was blocked by the onlookers.

Song Jiyun frowned.

I saw a man wearing a shabby silk gown, holding a painting scroll at the door of the pawn shop, and said: "I pawned Liu Songnian's "Arhat Picture". Since you can't tell what's wrong with this painting, why not Willing to accept, what kind of pawn shop do you open? Call your boss out! I want to see, why do you open a pawn shop?"

The chubby shopkeeper kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, and said, "Our family is not here, I'm sorry. You can come back in a few days!"

"Bah!" The man spit on the big shopkeeper's face with a mouthful of phlegm, and said maliciously, "If you make your words clear today, I will take you to the government office."

No matter how much the shopkeeper pays, he can't do it.

That's kind of bullying.

The noise made more and more people watching the excitement, and the road was blocked so that it was impossible to walk.

Song Jiyun thought for a while, then simply squeezed in, carefully looked at the scroll in the man's hand for a while, then walked over, and said: "You said that this is Liu Songnian's "Arhat Picture"?"

Seeing a strange woman appearing suddenly, the man was startled, and said vigilantly, "Who are you? Don't meddle in your own business!"

Song Jiyun didn't bother to pay attention to him, reached out and grabbed the man's scroll, opened it for a look, then tore it from the scroll with all his strength, and showed it to everyone: "Liu Songnian's painting, the scroll is moldy!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to thank him.

The man was still playing rogue there, and said: "Why did you tear up my painting? I'm going to the Yamen to sue the officials!"

Song Jiyun looked at the shopkeeper.

The big shopkeeper hurriedly called the shop assistant: "Go and sue the officials."

The guys rushed up and fought the man.

The man yelled: "The shopkeeper of the pawnshop corrupted my painting, now he is going to kill him!"

It's none of her business anymore.

Song Jiyun quietly prepared to leave.

A man shouted at her: "Miss! Please stay!"

Song Jiyun turned his head, and saw a young master wearing a royal blue auspicious cloud dark pattern hang silk straight gown, with a white jade hairpin on his hairpin, leading a servant, striding towards her.
