My mythical road to getting rich in ancient times

Chapter 10
After Xia Yuan left, Fang Shuyi was afraid that her daughter would not have enough money to open a shop, so she asked Qiu Yue to give her daughter 5000 taels from her private account.

Xia Wan knew what her mother meant and didn't shirk it. She would just give the money to her mother when the store opened later.The mother and daughter spoke some thoughtful words together again...

Lu House.

Jiangxiao knelt on the ground, clasping his hands in his fists, "Master, we found two women raising red foxes, one is the daughter of the city lord's family, and the other is the daughter of Fang Yuan's wife's family. Neither of them left the house yesterday evening, and The daughter of the city lord's family was wearing pink clothes yesterday, while the daughter of Fang Yuan's wife was wearing light yellow clothes, both of which are inconsistent with what you described."

There was silence, and Jiangxiao raised her eyes to look at her young master who was deep in thought.

At this moment, Lu Jingzhi was thinking about what the master and servant had said yesterday. He vaguely remembered that the master and servant were planning to buy a shop in Zhenxi. Since they couldn't find it, he would just wait for the other party to come to their doorstep.

Lu Jingzhi stood up suddenly and tapped his leg with the fan in his hand. He looked at Jiangxiao who was still kneeling and said, "Get up. You can go and do something for me now." Then he whispered in Jiangxiao's ear.

Jiangxiao didn't understand why the young master bought so many shops in Lingfeng Town. They didn't stay here for a long time, so even if they opened a shop, they wouldn't need so many shops!Although he was questioning why his master did this, he went to do the work without asking.

Xiaxiao worked very quickly. Before noon, I spent 4 taels to buy 20 shops, all close to the downtown area, and I brought back all the land deeds.

Lu Jingzhi looked at the pile of land deeds in his hand and smiled evilly, waiting for Yu'er to come to his door.

Fangfu.

When Xia Yan returned home from school and learned that he was going to take his sister to see the shops, he happily called Uncle Fu to take a carriage and headed west of the town together.

Xia Yan was chattering all the way.

"Sister, sister, why do you suddenly want to open a shop?"

"Sister, sister, do you have enough money? Brother, I still have some money and let Xia Zhu give it to you later."

Xia Zhu is Xia Yu's biological brother, and the two are sons of the Fang Mansion, so they are more reliable than the maids and guards they bought.

"Sister, sister, isn't the west side of the town a bit remote? Why don't you let dad give you the shop at home to open a shop? It's in the downtown area and close to home."

"Sister, sister, what store do you plan to open?"

"Sister, I heard from daddy that you will not only open one store, but what kind of stores do you plan to open? Let's see if my brother can be of any help?"

"Sister, sister, when do you plan to open the business? Then my brother will ask his friends and classmates to come and visit."

……

Xia Wan patiently answered various questions from her second brother along the way.The group finally arrived at Zhenxi. Xia Yan got out of the car first, and then reached out to help his sister down.

"Sister, look at which store you have chosen and my brother will buy it for you~" Xia Yan waved his hand very boldly.

Although Xia Yan likes to play, he is not someone who likes to spend money carelessly.There is some money left every month, and there are also some money given by my grandmother, father and mother during festivals, and some money earned with friends. There is a lot of money, and I still have enough money to buy a shop for my sister.

"Okay! Brother." Xia Wan replied to her brother with a sweet smile. The store her brother bought was treated as his investment. After all, it was his brother's money in the end. She would definitely not let him lose money.

Xia Wan took a fancy to the second store that entered the west of the town. The store had a bright and bright facade and a large space inside. Because it sold some grains, the business was a bit bleak. The only place selling these things in a place with less traffic was better than the one in the east of Zhendong. The lower the price, the more people will come. Obviously, if the price is lower, you will lose money.Xia Wan saw that the shop owner was packing up things again, and it seemed that he was about to close the shop. Although there were fewer people on the street in the afternoon, the shop owner shouldn't prepare to close the shop now!

Xia Wan was a little puzzled when she saw that the store owners had already begun to move the cereals placed outside onto the shelves. She went over to inquire and found out that the store had already sold them. She was a little regretful.The store had a large space, which was perfect for the spice shop she wanted to open, but she had to give up since the store was sold.

Walking towards the back, she took a fancy to another shop, which mainly sold medicinal materials. Various Chinese herbal medicines and medicinal materials were displayed in the store. There was a small yard in the back where she could fry herbal medicines, which was exactly what she wanted to open a dessert shop. The idea is that the small courtyard at the back is just used for baking desserts.The strange thing is that the shop owner also started to clean up the things in the yard. After asking, he found out that the shop was sold. Xia Wan felt regretful again.

After asking several stores, they all had already sold it, which made everyone puzzled.

It is normal to sell three or four houses, but it is not normal to sell seven or eight houses in a row, and all of them were just sold this morning. This is abnormal.Xia Wan couldn't help but think that she hadn't offended anyone recently, and her father couldn't have sent someone to buy it. Besides, who could buy so many shops in one go? Why buy so many shops?
Then I thought about whether what I said to Xia Yu last night was listened to by someone?But there's no one else around?
Suddenly Xia Wan thought that it might be the man who was tied to the tree yesterday. He could appear behind them quietly and must have heard what she and Xia Yu said. But why did he buy so many shops?We can’t just open all the stores, right?

In the end, Xia Wan and Xia Yan simply stood where they were and sent their guards down to ask if all other stores were selling.

After a while, the guard came back, knelt down and saluted, and reported, "Second Young Master and Miss, the following few houses also sold out this morning, and according to their description, they should have been bought by the same person, and the price given by the other party was So high, you can buy a new shop in the east of the town."

"Hey? Is Mercury retrograde today? How come they were all sold? They were all sold in the morning." Xia Yan scratched his head.

Since the next ones have all been bought, there is no need to read any more. Even if there is still a location, it is already very far away. As long as the front store is not operating, it will be difficult to attract traffic to the back store. The only way now is to inquire. Ask who bought it and see if he is willing to sell some.

"Brother, let's go back. We won't buy anything today." Then he turned to Uncle Fu and said, "Uncle Fu, could you please find out who bought these shops? By the way, ask if he is willing to sell a few shops. "

"Hey~ Okay, miss, I'm going to go and find out now." Uncle Fu leaned over and went to find out who bought most of the shops on the street.

"Brother, let's go back and wait for news from Uncle Fu," Xia Wan turned to Xia Yan and said.

"Okay, let's go. We can only go back home and wait for news."

Xia Yan helped his sister onto the carriage before getting on.

The group of people headed back home...
