First Class Concubine

Chapter 82
"Father's words are wrong. If it's true, then I should go. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there is no one in my uncle's house to help with housekeeping. How can I live a comfortable New Year's Eve?" ? As the only niece of my uncle, I should help more."

"The family is busy now, and your grandmother is not in good health. As the eldest granddaughter, you should stay and serve your grandmother in filial piety." Su Youliang's face was ugly.If we let her go out, I don't know how much trouble it will cause.

"Jin Xiao!" Qi Jing sighed, really a big hat.

When it comes to the word "filial piety", no one can do anything about it.

Uncle Ji can't stop Qijing from being filial, and Qijing can't be unfilial.

Now is not the past. In the past, she didn't care because the Su family insisted on her marrying the fourth prince.Even if she did something unfilial, the Su family would take care of her, and the emperor would pretend she didn't see it.

But after the emperor did something like that, she had to be careful, so as not to leave any excuses for the emperor to find another excuse to ruin the marriage.Although the emperor wants to destroy the marriage, he can make up reasons for no reason.

Don't tell her that the imperial decree cannot be violated, that's all bullshit.

But the emperor's face is still needed, it's too ugly, it's always not acceptable.

Sending off Uncle Ji reluctantly, and returning to the snow garden, most of the places she requested to be eradicated have been eradicated.The two servants were crushing it with rolling stones, and by nightfall, it was estimated that it would meet the standard she required.

The things her uncle sent were placed in her room, seven or eight boxes, large and small.Everything you need to eat, wear and play.

She glanced at it hastily, "Pick out a little of everything to eat, and give some to grandmother, father, and the three concubines each, and share the rest with you!"

Let Aiyu go into the warehouse first for those that are used for playing.

"Miss, the storeroom is not enough." Aiyu felt a little headache. Recently, the lady has collected too many things, and there is no special storeroom in the snow yard.All the original houses were vacated and embezzled.There are also shelves, just laying flat.There is not much space available, and it will be full if you put a few boxes on it.

"Bring me the brochure." Qi Jing thought about it for a while, and it's really not a problem to have so many things on display.

Aiyu immediately brought over a stack of brochures, "In our courtyard, there are only incoming items, not outgoing items. Everything is here."

Qijing went through it from the beginning to the end, and simply called Nanny Qi and Mama: "You guys go through these and pick out all the ones that can be exchanged for money."

The three of them were very surprised, and Aiyu was even more puzzled: "Miss, are you short of money? Or what do you want to do?"

"I'm going to buy a shop. If I have more money, I will go to the countryside to buy some fields. And these, especially these cloths, are stored in the warehouse, damp and moldy to feed moths, so it is better to exchange them for silver and buy two more acres of fields. Things that are printed cannot be moved, and those that are not printed, it doesn’t matter if you want to move them.”

Momo Ma rolled her eyes: "If Miss wants to buy a field, this old servant has some connections."

Qi Jing waved his hand: "It's not urgent, first divide these things up, and pick out those that can be exchanged for silver."

Qijing pushed most of the brochures to them.The few books left behind were all gifts from Le Chen.

The three of them, together with a few maids, took inventory and sorted while re-booking.A dozen or so people were busy till dark before sorting out half of them.

It's the martial arts training venue she wanted, and it's completely completed.

That night, Le Chen came very late again, at the end of Zi Shi, and left in a hurry after staying for less than an hour.Before leaving, he even took care of her: "I will be very busy in the future, so you don't have to wait for me at night. I probably won't be free during the day."

"Do you need my help?"

"If there is, I will come to you."

Sure enough, after that day, Le Chen never came again.

It took another day, and Aiyu really separated all the things that should be divided.More than half of them can be exchanged for money.

Nanny Qi estimated the price, if they were all sold, they could be exchanged for 10 taels of silver.

Qijing was taken aback by such an amount.

"Is it worth that much?"

"County Lord, these are all well-known. After passing through the hands of the palace, they will naturally be worth a hundred times."

Qijing is clear about this point, but it is the brand effect.

"Leave."

"master."

"Help me find a shop in a suitable location."

"What is Miss going to sell?"

"Grocery. However, our groceries are not those made of needles and threads. Even if we are groceries, they are all high-end groceries. Very expensive groceries!" As he spoke, his chin raised his chin towards the things bestowed from above.

Li immediately understood: "Understood. The servant will go to inquire immediately..."

He also called Lai Mama: "Last time you said that you have a way to buy fields."

"Go back to the county master, yes."

"tell me the story."

"Yes, the old slave has a nephew, and he does the work of a middleman... He can build a line, a bridge, etc. for any big purchase here. Don't worry, my nephew, although Some cleverness, but it's a duty, never dare to lie to the county lord...Whether it's buying or selling, I guarantee that the county lord will handle it properly."

"Then call and have a look. By the way, tell him. This county mainly buys fields, so it's best to bring a map. If there is one, I'll take a look first, so as to save a few more trips."

"Thank the county lord for trusting me, this old slave will go and call my nephew here. I won't let the county lord worry..."

In half an hour, Mama Ma came with her nephew.

This nephew has a simple and honest appearance, but only a pair of eyes, which are very bright and flexible.Speak is also orderly, watertight.

"The villain Ma Chang'an sees the county lord, the county lord Jin'an."

"Let's get up." Qijing had seen the people and had counted them. "Can your aunt explain the matter to you?"

"Go back to the county master, let me explain."

"Did you bring something?"

"Here we are," he said, taking out a folded piece of parchment from his sleeve.Opened, it is one meter long and nearly eighty centimeters wide.The entire capital city, and even the topography of hundreds of miles around, are all vivid on the paper.

"This picture took a lot of thought." Qi Jing looked at the picture, his eyes lit up.She looked at this map at Lechen's place, but that map was not as detailed and convenient as the one in front of her.

"The county lord has won the award." Ma Changan showed a slightly obsequious smile: "County lord, there are now six families here, my villain, who want to sell their land. On the map, the villain marked it with red powder. Among them, this The three places are high-quality fertile fields, the land is not big, and it is a little far away from the capital. The remaining three places are not small, and they are also close to the capital, and they happen to be together. But this field is an inferior and poor field , especially this place, is full of mountains and forests. There are wild animals in the mountains that hurt people, and the output is very little every year..."

"How about the price?" Qijing looked at the six places and felt that they were about the same.

Tian has the output of fields, and mountains have the output of mountains.Fertile land is naturally good, but poor land is not completely helpless.It only depends on how to care for it and what it is planted.

Ma Changan quickly reported six prices, each with different acres of land and different prices.

The cheapest is the mountain forest, which is also the largest.

Qijing calculated the money in his hand, and circled the three poor fields: "Keep these three places first, and make a decision after I have seen them."

"Yes."

After Ma Changan left, Qijing called Aiyu over and threw one of the booklets to her: "Exchange all of these into silver."

"Yes." Aiyu flipped through the pages before asking hesitantly: "Miss, do you want to buy all three places? They are all poor land, so it's not worth it!"

"It's nothing." How could it be possible to keep the fertile land close to the capital until now?As soon as it is vacant, it must be bought by some powerful people early.

"The servant has overstepped." Aiyu lowered her head.

"Go. If you're too busy, you can ask Nanny Chen to help you. Although she has a bad mouth, she loves to run and knows more people."

"Your servant understands." Aiyu retreated with the booklet, and sure enough, she went with Mother Chen for help.

After tossing all this, Qijing went to Ci'an Hall.Since Su Youliang wanted her to be a filial piety, he always had to do something on the surface.The old lady is not sick, but, she is getting older, and with Su Wanwan's affairs, she feels guilty from the bottom of her heart.

I did something bad, but it's not that I feel uncomfortable everywhere.

"...That's your own granddaughter! How could you do anything... My poor Wanwan, why did you suffer such a miserable life! You were reborn in the womb of your mother, but she couldn't protect you well. Mother But how can I have the face to live in this world..."

As soon as he entered the gate of Ci'an Hall, he heard Mrs. Su's crying and accusing in the main room.

Others can't hear it, but Qijing has sharp ears and eyes, and can hear clearly no matter how young he is.

"What kind of bastard are you talking? I can't understand a word. Don't I, a grandmother, feel sorry for Wanwan's disappearance? Now that the little thief Xu Wenfeng has been arrested, why don't you press for Wanwan's whereabouts?" , come here to chew on me, what's the use?"

Qijing raised his eyebrows, Xu Wenfeng actually came back?
"Mother is right." Mrs. Su sneered, "Isn't that what Xu Wenfeng forced to ask? He saw with his own eyes that my mother pushed my Wanwan down the cliff, causing my Wanwan to die. .”

"Nonsense." How could the old lady admit it. "Presumptuous, Xu Wenfeng, a wolf with ambition, should be killed..."

Mrs. Su laughed loudly: "Are you talking nonsense, mother, you understand in your heart. In my life, Yu Zhi'er, the only thing I care about most in my life is a daughter. Now that you have made my daughter's life unknown, I have nothing to worry about. That's it. Don't blame me, I won't give you Su family face."

The old lady was shocked: "What do you want to do?"

"Mother will know soon. My daughter is not well, so don't think about it!" With a flick of the curtain, he rushed out with a gloomy face.Seeing Qijing standing in the yard, his gloomy face became even more sinister and vicious: "Miss Su is really capable. After only a few months after coming back, she made the entire Su family restless. Next, is it just that the family will be ruined?" ? I want to see, without the Su family, how can you still be Miss Su? Then who else will take you seriously. "

Qijing flicked his fingernails: "The chickens and dogs are restless or the family is ruined. You asked for it yourself, and it has nothing to do with me. As for who will take me seriously..." Qijing smiled: "After all, I I have a lot of strength, I am not afraid of anything, and I have a good master to support me! If sister Wanwan comes back, not only will her natal family be gone, but even the Su family will be gone... She is a weak woman, how can she live? !"

Madam Su gritted her teeth and stared at her: "You will be punished."

"Who knows if your daughter's current situation is the retribution for your evil deeds!" Qi Jing glanced at her sideways: "Guard Xu is so infatuated!"

"Let's wait and see." Mrs. Su flicked her sleeves and walked away quickly with her handsome figure.

Only then did Qijing slowly enter the main room.The old lady was so angry that her face turned blue, and she couldn't help yelling "Ouch, Ouch".Nanny Xu was caressing her chest, reassuring her.

Seeing Qijing, she froze for a moment, then forced a smile again: "Why is Jing'er here?"
