Chapter 139
The family of four dressed neatly and left the Jiange with white pigeons, silver red, and green branches.Before going out, Xie Xian'er also quietly told Second Master Ma, "Second Master, pay attention when walking, walk slowly, and don't lift your feet so high."

Ma Erlang also knew that his walking posture was not good-looking, and his parents never stopped talking about him because of this.But he didn't listen to it, and he didn't want to change it. He felt that no matter how careful he was, he was not as good-looking as his elder brother and younger brothers.

Today, when he saw in the mirror that he was so handsome, his daughter-in-law actually said that he was "unparalleled in the world". It seems that he has to pay attention to his image in the future.

When we got to the outer courtyard, we took the small knife and ax with us.The three of them rode horses, while Xie Xian'er and the others rode in a car.

The two discussed it yesterday, first go to the center of the capital, where the imperial palace is.When they arrived at the place, Xie Xian'er and Brother Zhen came down and looked up at the palace from afar with reverence.It's similar to the Forbidden City in her previous life. The most appropriate description is what she wrote in a composition written in her sixth grade. The golden walls are magnificent and majestic. There are many small animals squatting on the roof. The wide square takes a long time to walk...

Second Master Ma also proudly pointed to the west side of the palace and said to Brother Zhen, "Daddy's yamen is right there."

Afterwards, they walked south for another quarter of an hour in a carriage, and arrived at Nanshi.This is the most prosperous business district in Shangjing, including Changlong Street, Yuming Street, and Jinque Street.The last time Xie Xianer came here with brothers Ma Jiaren and He Jiao brothers and sisters, it was Jinque Street.

When they arrived at Nanshikou, Changlong Street was in the middle, and they got out of the car and began to formally go shopping.As long as Xie Xian'er and Brother Zhen are interested in places, Ma Erye will lead them in for a walk and buy something.

Turn across Changlong Street, and you will arrive at Jinque Street.Walking to the bottom of the Baohua Silver Building, Xie Xian'er wanted to see the shopkeeper Fang, so she went in.

When they came to the fourth floor, shopkeeper Fang was not there, but another female shopkeeper surnamed Hua came to receive them.

"It's fine if shopkeeper Fang isn't here. We're here to buy something. If you need anything, I'll buy it for you." Second Master Ma said boldly.

Compared with the embarrassment and anxiety of the last time, Xie Xianer is full of confidence this time, not to mention the hundreds of taels of silver bills in Ma Erye's arms, even she has silver bills in her purse.

She bought herself some flower tines, a red-eyed gold phoenix hairpin, a pair of east pearl earrings, and a red gold wreath for Zhen Geer.Seeing Taiji's longing eyes, he ordered a red gold wreath for it, and picked it up in three days.

Seeing Second Master Ma lift his butt, he wanted to leave, but Xie Xian'er held him back.Said, "Second master, grandma is so kind to us, let's buy something for her old man."

Ma Erlang said with a smile, "Our grandma has at least a few big boxes of jewelry. Her old man is not short of these things, and she may not wear them even if she buys them."

This is where Ma Erlang can't be a man.Xie Xianer said, "Her's is hers, we bought it, even if she doesn't wear it, we have done our filial piety. We are talking about our hearts."

Xie Xian'er helped the old lady choose a forehead with cat eyes.

Once the accounts were settled, these things cost a total of 220 taels of silver, and the old lady's forehead alone was worth 110 taels.

Afterwards, I went to the Lion House, which is relatively close to here, for dinner.

Finally, he went to the shop under Ma Erlang's name.This shop is on the East Street, it is a tea shop.Xie Xian'er checked the account, and the business is not very good.Shopkeeper Wang also made a special trip to Jiange to kowtow to Xie Xian'er, he was a well-behaved type of person.

Xie Xian'er took a look at this small two-story building. In Shangjing, where every inch of land is expensive, such a large store only earns more than 100 taels of silver a month, which is really low.This kind of pavement can earn hundreds of taels a month just by renting out the house.

Then he discussed with Ma Erlang, "Second Master, how about we change this shop into a branch of Yuxi Ironware Specialty Store?"

As long as it has something to do with ironware, Second Master Ma likes anything, and when he heard it, he naturally agreed happily.Said that this matter is still looking for Ma Shoufu, and asked him to find the person who renovated the main store of Yuxi specialty store to decorate this building.

By the time the group returned to Ma Mansion with tired steps, the sun had already set.A few people went directly to Fuqing Courtyard, and as soon as they entered the hall, they saw Mrs. Qin exaggeratingly say, "Look, look, I'm not lying, isn't Second Uncle more handsome than Fourth Uncle?"

Mrs. Zhang is even more exaggerated, "Oh, Second Uncle is not only more handsome than Fourth Uncle, he is more handsome than all the men in the Ma family."

The exaggerated words of the two sisters-in-law made everyone laugh.It also made Second Master Ma's face redder, and his walking became a little unnatural.

The second lady smiled and said, "Look at the two of you, you actually commented on the appearance of the uncle and uncle, you really deserve to be beaten."

The old lady smiled and said, "There is no distinction between young and old when joking. As long as you always remember to respect the elders and care for the younger in your heart, and behave according to your duty, that's enough." Then she said to the red-faced Ma Erye, "Don't pay attention to them, they Seeing that you are more handsome than their men today, I feel uncomfortable."

Everyone was even more happy.

After the whole family sat down, Xie Xianer pointed to the large packages carried by the maids and said, "My second master asked me to buy these, you guys have a taste to see if it suits your taste."

This time, Ma Erye specially bought peach slice cake, sweet-scented osmanthus candy, and mille-feuille cake from Crispy Xuan for the old man, his wife and children, and also bought Lion House’s signature dish, five-spice grilled chicken and puff pastry pork knuckle for the dinner. .The cat's eye forehead wipe bought for the old lady was praised by everyone. Even the old lady smiled and asked Wang Momo to put it on her quickly.

The Ma family's parents, headed by the old lady, again focused on praising Ma's second child for his filial piety and ability to do things.

After dinner, everyone left Fuqingyuan, only Ma Guogong stayed behind.Ma Guogong asked, "Mother, did you send someone to Liu's mansion today to ask for Hong's dowry?"

The old lady lowered her face when she heard this, and said, "Nurse Wang went to ask for it the first time but didn't get it back, but the second time she went to ask for it, she only got back the key to the warehouse and the account book."

"Why?" Ma Guogong's face also sank.

"Hmph, Mrs. Liu actually said that Mrs. Xie is the stepmother, so I don't feel at ease handing it over to her. I am the real grandmother of my real brother, so I will take good care of it for him, and I will hand it over to him when my real brother grows up." The old lady was angry. Panting heavily, I continued, "I asked someone to go there again, saying that it would not be handed over to Mrs. Xie, and that I would designate a special person to keep it. Moreover, I also said that this matter was decided jointly by you and me. She had to pay. Mrs. Liu had no choice, so she just handed back the key to the warehouse and the account book. She said that some of the bank notes were temporarily embezzled when she was in charge of the housekeeping, and she would hand them over to me after she made up the shortfall."

Ma Guogong's face was flushed with anger, "When will our Ma family be short of money, and we need her to fill in the shortfall with our daughter-in-law's dowry? This stupid girl must have been cheated by the Liu family. No, the rest will be paid first." When I come back, I have to make up for what is not enough to sell the things in her private treasury."

 There is another chapter to add tonight, Qingquan is very diligent today.
