Chapter 278 Back on track
The matter of King Huai really piqued Song Qingci's interest.
A person who likes to hide and do things secretly.
interesting.
Moreover, is this King Huai really bedridden as rumored? !
Song Qingci didn't believe it.
For a person who has to fight for his life every day, does he have any other thoughts to do other things?
Staying alive is what such a person should be thinking about!
"What are you going to do?" Song Qingci asked. She felt that Shan Li should have already figured it out in his mind.
"Half a month later, it will be the birthday of King Huai." Shan Li slowly told his plan. "Every year at this time, King Huai and his wife would hold a banquet at the City God Temple to celebrate with the people."
"This was specially granted by His Majesty the Emperor. It was to pray for the King Huai and to ward off disasters. So that the King Huai's body could last a few more years. On that day, not only the noble families in the capital would attend, but also many gentry and common people would attend. His Majesty the Emperor had also been there in person."
"Invited people can enter the City God Temple, and ordinary people who are not invited can also stay outside the City God Temple. It can be said that the liveliness of that day cannot be compared even to New Year's Eve."
"Are you planning to let Shen Mozhu reveal the truth in front of everyone on that day?"
''It's not about revealing the truth, but getting back on track.''
"Yes! Back on track!" Song Qingci began to look forward to Prince Huai's birthday in half a month.
Waiting without purpose is painful, but waiting with purpose is full of hope.
"Madam, Manager Zheng wants to see you." Yinping bowed and replied.
Song Qingci stopped pounding the medicine and thought, why is he here at this time? !
However, since he asked to see her, she couldn't refuse.
"Take me to the flower hall in the outer courtyard. I'll come right after I change my clothes."
"Yes." After Yin Ping left, Yin Xing quickly helped Song Qingci to wash and dress.
The weather has been getting hotter recently, and Song Qingci's clothes in Chixiao Courtyard have become thinner and thinner.
At present, all the male servants and secret guards in Chixiao Courtyard have been withdrawn by Shan Li, leaving only a few big maids and a few rough maids.
He didn't dare to comment on what Ah Ci said about freedom of dress, so he could only ask some people to stay away.
"Yin Xing, can't I wear this one less?" Song Qingci still wanted to fight for it. After all, after putting on this dress, only the collar is exposed.
Does she really have to wear it?
"Madam, you are going to meet a guest, so you should dress more formally." Yinxing had no choice. She knew it was hot, but Madam was going to meet Zheng, the shopkeeper. He was a stranger.
You must put your clothes on neatly.
"Madam, this dress was newly made by Yinping. It uses the thinnest fabric and is very breathable." Yinxing was also helpless. Madam was really afraid of heat.
"Well, let's hurry up." Since there's no way to reduce the number of layers of clothing, just try to shorten the time you wear them.
When Song Qingci arrived at the flower hall, Manager Zheng had been waiting for a while.
"Yinxing, put a few more ice basins in the room." Song Qingci saw that Manager Zheng was also sweating, so he quickly told Yinxing to get a few more ice basins and put them in the room.
"Thank you, young madam." Shopkeeper Zheng quickly bowed to express his gratitude.
"Manager Zheng, why did you come to see me at this time? Is there something going on?"
Having worked together for a while, Song Qingci was very clear about Manager Zheng's ability to do things.
Except for the normal time of paying accounts, he would not come to see me easily unless there was something difficult for him.
"Reporting to the young lady, I have two things to say to you this time." Shopkeeper Zheng took out a stack of property deeds from his arms and said, "I have already completed the matter of buying the shop that the young lady asked me to do before."
Yinxing took the stack of house deeds from Manager Zheng and handed it to Song Qingci.
Looking at the stack of house deeds, Song Qingci completely forgot about the heat.
Her name is written on every property deed. These are all her private properties!
Song Qingci also has some Chinese blood in his bones. He has some obsession and love for real estate.
Happy! She was really so happy!
Buy a street! She really bought it!
This shopkeeper Zheng is really a capable person!
"Madam, all these property deeds are on the same street. It's just that this street is a bit remote, almost close to the city gate. This is the silver left after buying these shops."
Shopkeeper Zheng took out a few more banknotes.
"At the beginning, the young lady gave me a total of 100,000 taels of silver. This is the remaining 18,000 taels after buying the shop. This street was originally called Liuhua Street. There are 66 shops of different sizes on this street. The average price of a shop is 1,100 taels. The total cost of buying the shop is 72,600 taels."
"Because this Liuhua Street is located in a remote area, many houses have become dilapidated. I spent another 9,400 taels to renovate it. Today's Liuhua Street is completely different from when I bought it. If you have time, you can go and see it yourself."
He took the initiative to do the renovation. His wife had originally ordered the purchase of a shop and a street, but had not ordered the renovation.
But the original houses on Liuhua Street really couldn't be described as rotten. They were very rotten.
There is no tile on the roof just isn't a metaphor; it's a fact.
After purchasing the houses, Shopkeeper Zheng happened to meet a suitable renovator, and he took the initiative to renovate all the houses in need of renovation on the entire street.
After spending some time with the young lady, he could feel that she was a person who could get things done, so he dared to act first and report later.
"Well done!" When Song Qingci heard that the house had been renovated, he did not complain, but praised it instead.
She wanted to open a shop to make money, so how could she do that with a dilapidated house?
''What's the second thing? ''
"The second thing is..." Shopkeeper Zheng looked at the young lady's expression and was a little hesitant to say it.
The young lady is happy now, but after hearing this second thing, she probably won’t be happy anymore.
"You can say it anyway." Song Qingci saw the tangled expression on Shopkeeper Zheng's face. He guessed that the second thing he hadn't said was probably not good news.
But she is not the kind of person who can only listen to good words and not bad words.
"Yes!" Shopkeeper Zheng took out another account book and handed it to Song Qingci, "Madam, the second thing is the business of the Moon Viewing Tower."
"Before, both Malatang and Zhuangyuanyan sold very well in Shangyuelou. However, since the weather has been getting hotter, our business has been getting worse and worse. Especially Malatang, it has gone from being hard to buy even after queuing up to being hard to sell a pot in a whole day." Shopkeeper Zheng lowered his head as he spoke.
