Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 38
After the three of Xin You left, the shopkeeper was still dumbfounded.

"The shopkeeper." The man tugged on the shopkeeper's sleeve.

The shopkeeper came back to his senses in a jerk, pulled the clerk away, and asked the young man in shock, "Boss, did you really sell the bookstore for 2 taels?"

The young man said angrily: "I have written all the documents, how can there be fake ones?"

"But that's 2 taels!" The shopkeeper still felt like a dream.

"Why are you excited? The 2 taels are not for you. You just need to work hard with the new owner." The young man walked away with his hands behind his back.

The shopkeeper sighed: "My boss is really calm."

The clerk at the side hesitated to speak, trying not to tell the truth.

The old owner told me to keep it a secret.

Oh, by the way, the new owner told him to do something, and he had to do it quickly.

In the carriage, Xiao Lian also felt that she was dreaming: "Girl, Steward Duan really didn't stop you!"

Xinyou was very calm: "It's not surprising, it's just weighing the pros and cons."

She didn't stop her from buying a shop at a high price, but she could still push it on her. It was the cousin girl who was willful and ignorant.But if there are rumors that the old lady is holding on to her granddaughter's dowry, she will bear the anger of the old lady.

In contrast, Butler Duan would naturally choose the latter.

"But what if the old lady refuses to agree? Although she paid the deposit, what if the old lady would rather lose the deposit than pay 2 taels of silver?" Xiao Lian was worried again.

Xin You bent her lips: "Grandma loves me, why would she not agree?"

Seeing Xinyou's confident appearance, Xiaolian's uneasy heart was at ease again.

Back at Shaoqing Mansion, Xin You walked briskly towards Ruyi Hall, while the housekeeper walked heavily, thinking about how to explain to the old lady.

"Old lady, the cousin girl is here."

Following the maid's report, the old lady who was in a bad mood saw the happy granddaughter, and immediately became even worse.

By the looks of it, the money was spent.

"How did the talk go?" the old lady asked calmly.

Xinyou smiled and said, "The talk went well, and the deposit has already been paid."

The old lady twitched her eyebrows and asked, "How much did you pay for it?"

After hearing what the old lady said, the butler couldn't help lowering his head.He thought that the cousin girl would say the astonishing amount carefully, but he didn't expect to hear the girl talking endlessly with excitement.

"I bought it for 2 taels. Grandma, you didn't see that there is not only a book printing workshop behind the bookstore, but also a large house, and even the shopkeeper is ready..."

"How much?" The old lady didn't listen to a single word of the following words, only three words in her mind.

2 taels, 2 taels, 2 taels...

"Grandmother, what's the matter with you?" The excited girl realized that the old lady's expression was wrong.

The old lady slowed down, and fixedly looked at the steward: "You bought a bookstore for 2 taels?"

Compared with her granddaughter's millions, 2 taels doesn't seem like much, but her eldest son's annual salary is less than 300 taels!

The steward knelt down in fright: "Yes, it's the cousin—"

Xin You took the words without changing his face: "I like this bookstore very much. From the location to the layout, I am satisfied with every aspect of the bookstore. Although Manager Duan reminded that it is expensive, I still bought it. After all, money can't buy a good heart." , grandma, don’t you think so?”

The steward couldn't help but gave Xin You a grateful look.

Miss Biao is really considerate--ah, if it wasn't for Miss Biao who was taken advantage of by her naivety and ignorance, why would the old lady be dissatisfied.

After reacting, the steward buried his head lower.

"Thousands of money can't buy a good heart, and you can't spend money all over the sky!" The old lady couldn't accept this kind of rhetoric at all, "Even if you have a bookstore and a house that is not well run, you can buy it for only ten thousand taels. Isn't it stupid to buy two?"

"But they won't sell it if it's cheap. Their owner asked for 2 taels, and I negotiated the price to 2 taels."

The old lady felt a pain in her heart.

Do you want to praise me for co-authoring?
"If you act like you insist on buying, the other party will naturally not let go. Besides, if you really can't negotiate the price, wouldn't you buy something else?"

"I don't like any other Qingqing." Xinyou's tone became light.

The old lady had no intention of compromising, and said with a straight face: "Qingqing, it's not that grandma is reluctant. If the bookstore is worth 2 taels, grandma will definitely buy it for you. But things that are obviously only worth [-] taels have to be bought at twice the price. Come on, isn't that a waste of money?"

"Qingqing likes it, no matter how much money you spend, it doesn't feel like a waste, and the deposit has been paid—"

The old lady interrupted Xin You: "The deposit is at most 2000 taels, I'd rather not have it, than spend [-] to buy a bookstore!"

Seeing the old lady's resolute tone, Xin You fell silent.

The kneeling housekeeper curled his lips secretly.

I knew it would be like this, so why bother Miss Cousin.

"Guan Duan, you should make another trip to the bookstore and tell their owner that you either have to lower the price, or forget about the deal."

"Yes." The steward hurriedly got up, and hurried away with the papers that hadn't been warmed up yet.

Seeing that Xinyou pursed her lips without saying a word, the old lady decided to comfort Tianzao: "You can go out for a stroll tomorrow, and if there is a shop that you like at a reasonable price, you can buy it. Yuzhu, go and buy the new red set. Bring the jewelry."

The maid named Yuzhu agreed, and quickly brought a box, and the old lady motioned for her to open it.

The box is flat and wide, with a plain brocade cushion inside, and a set of jewels inlaid with rubies is gorgeous and bright, which makes people unable to take their eyes off it.

The old lady smiled and said: "Once this set of red treasure jewelry is finished, grandma will think it suits you best, so go ahead and play with it."

Xin You glanced around and guessed that this set of jewelry was probably prepared by the old lady for a granddaughter who would come out of the cabinet, and of course her granddaughter Kou Qingqing was also included.Now in order to appease her, I took it out in advance.

"Qingqing likes it very much, thank you grandma." Xin You accepted it without hesitation.

Seeing that Xinyou hadn't made a fuss, the old lady showed a relieved smile.

On the way back to Wanqingju, Xiao Lian was worried: "Although this set of red treasure jewelry is decent, it is far from 1 taels of silver..."

It is so difficult to get back 2 taels of silver from the old lady, she really can't figure out how to get back [-]%.

Sixty percent, that's at least 60 taels!
Xin You smiled and patted Xiaolian's hand: "Don't worry, we both want Hongbao Jewelry and Qingsong Bookstore."

Xiaolian waited to ask again, and found the third girl Duan Yunling waiting not far away.

Xin You walked over and asked, "Is Cousin Ling waiting for me?"

Duan Yunling nodded slightly, glanced around subconsciously, and said in a low voice: "Cousin Qing, guess how grandma punished Second Sister?"

Xin You waited for her to continue.

Duan Yunling couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips: "Second sister was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall."

Xin You was not interested in talking about Duan Yunhua's punishment, and said seriously: "Cousin Ling helped me, and I will remember it in my heart. In the future, if Cousin Ling needs help, you can come to me at any time."

Duan Yunling nodded hurriedly, and asked curiously, "What did cousin go out for?"

"Buy a bookstore."

"Buy a bookstore? That will cost a lot of money, right? Have you bought it yet?"

Xin You glanced in the northeast direction and said with a smile, "Probably."

At this moment, the steward rushed to the Qingsong Bookstore with a feeling of wind on his feet, but what he saw made him dumbfounded.

　It will be on the shelves tomorrow. The first order of a new book and the monthly pass are very important. I will decide on a series of follow-up recommendations. I hope everyone can support it.In addition, there will be an event on the shelves on the 3rd. If you want to give a reward to Xiaoyouzi, please put it on the day of the event, thank you.
