good wife

Chapter 427 The Little Three Comes (5)
Only then did Haitang suddenly realize: "Look at this servant's memory! I forgot to tell you. It was the day you disappeared in Huayang Temple. I heard that Lord Peng married a noble concubine on that day!"

"Noble concubine? Which house is it from?"

"I heard that it belongs to an ordinary family in the closed city. But the father of this noble concubine seems to be a scholar. I heard that this noble concubine is eighteen this year. It was delayed because of her mother's death and to keep her mother's filial piety. Family."

Jingyi nodded, she kept mourning for her mother for three years, now she is eighteen, she is indeed a big girl in this era.

"Isn't Mrs. Peng always powerful? I don't know what's wrong this time, but she seems to have lost it! I heard that Mrs. Peng held a concubine ceremony with great fanfare!" Liu Xing'er interjected, "I'm still listening. It is said that when the noble concubine offered tea to Mrs. Peng the next day, Mrs. Peng deliberately made things difficult, but she was reprimanded by Mrs. Peng!"

"Oh?" Jingyi was a little interested this time, "Master Peng is quite an interesting person!"

Jingyi originally thought that after the banquet a few years ago, Peng Jiangda would most likely divorce his wife, and the last time, he would also take away the power of the Peng Yang family, but unexpectedly, he actually welcomed a noble family. Concubine enters the door!
Jingyi rolled her eyes, and a sly look appeared on her brows, "Hai Tang, go and find Si Qin for me."

"Yes."

After a while, Haitang was found.Jingyi sent all the servants out and whispered a few words.A crack appeared on Si Qin's originally calm face after a while, "Your Highness, is this wrong?"

"What's wrong? I just taught her a little lesson! You forgot, the banquet a year ago! If her plan succeeds, I don't know if I can survive now!"

Si Qin thought so too.This Mrs. Peng is indeed too ruthless.Thinking of Concubine De and King Jin behind her, Si Qin's expression immediately became extremely solemn again.Although the concubine's strategy is a bit unsightly, it can at least hit Mrs. Peng and make her calm down for a while. If it is used properly, maybe she will never be able to make any big waves in the future.In this way, wouldn't Concubine De just lose a pair of eyes and ears in the closure of the city?

"This subordinate understands, and I will do it right away. Your Highness just rest assured. This subordinate will definitely handle the matter successfully."

Jingyi nodded and said with a smile: "I believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have entrusted you with this errand."

After resting for about an hour, Yuan Xi sent someone to invite her.The two got into the carriage and headed towards Ji Shan Tang.

"Yuanxi, you said there is one more thing you want to discuss with me. What is it?"

"Yiyi, you are now famous in the closed city!"

"You're talking about Mr. Ouyang's birthday last time, right? By the way, how will the third son be arranged now?"

"I came to you to discuss this matter with you."

"tell me the story."

"I thought about closing down the biggest brothel in the closed city, what do you think?"

"Brothel? But Baishi's property was taken over by us later?"

Yuan Xi nodded, "The location is the best there, but it was taken by a filthy brothel. I always feel a little aggrieved!"

"What do you want to transform there into?"

"I don't know either. I'm not trying to discuss with you. You can make up your mind! Restaurant, inn, or something else. I checked with Xia He. He also didn't know what to do for a while!"

"Even Xia He, who knows how to do business the most, doesn't know what to do, why do you think of me?"

"Yiyi, right now, even if we haven't got the treasure, we still have enough money. So, I don't think it's an industry that must be profitable." Yuanxi paused, looked at Jing With a glance, he said: "I still remember what you said to Qing Tian in my study, thinking, maybe, we can use it for other purposes."

Jingyi blinked at Yuanxi for no reason, Yuanxi smiled and said: "You are right, no matter how many flowers are blooming in this world, they are all weeds in the forest, on the fields and on the roadside." Mostly, this is something that those flowers will never be able to match."

Jingyi's eyes lit up, "I understand what you are going to do! You want to build an academy? To educate the people?"

Yuan Xi grinned, "The person who understands me best in this world is indeed Yiyi."

Jingyi thought for a while, "That's not right! After all, it used to be a filthy place. How can you read the books of sages and sages in that kind of place? I'm afraid those literati who claim to be clean and elegant will disdain it! You still think about it differently." A landlord is better."

"You're right. I've thought of that too. Then what do you think is more suitable for that place?"

"Hmm. This is a bit troublesome. Later, you can ask Xia He to draw a picture for me, so that I can see the structure there clearly, and then I can give you an idea."

"Alright. I'll see Xia He later, just give him instructions."

"As for the academy, it is best to be close to mountains and rivers. But there are no famous lakes in this closed city." Suddenly Jingyi's eyes lit up, "Why not build it outside the closed city? At the foot of Huayang Mountain ?”

"At the foot of Huayang Mountain?"

"Yes! Huayang Mountain is very famous, and there is a Huayang Temple on the mountain. If we build the academy there, it will naturally attract many scholars to come to study. Think about it, in this way, Huayang The scenery of Yangshan will quickly spread throughout the north and south of the river with more and more literati. This will be of great benefit to us in closing the city."

"You have a good idea. It's just that I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to build a new academy." Yuan Xi stroked his forehead.

"Don't be afraid! We have money."

"You want to use that treasure? Not right!" Yuan Xi disapproved.

"Who said you're going to use that? I'm talking about my dowry!" Jingyi smiled and said, "Do you still remember the ten thousand taels of gold that Bai Min'er gave me?"

Only then did Yuan Xi suddenly realize, he patted his forehead with his hand and said, "Did you also transport that sum of money to Fengcheng?"

"My dowry things will naturally follow me! Could it be possible to leave them in the capital to mold?"

"It's just that you also said that this is your dowry. It's not a last resort, so it's better not to use it."

"What are you afraid of! The silver is gone, let's find another way to earn it! The ten thousand taels of gold will be used for you to build an academy. In this way, the place of the brothel you mentioned will be handed over to me. I want to build a Any business that can make money and not tarnish too much the reputation of our Prince Pingfu!"

"This is not urgent, think slowly."
