Wen Jin couldn't help but be happy when he heard this.
She reached out and pinched her son's little face, and whispered: "If Yu'er hadn't reminded me today, I would have missed a great opportunity!"
She and her brother asked around, but found no suitable house or shop.
"I heard from my father-in-law that some officials or businessmen, when something happens, rush to pack up their belongings and run away. They will sell their houses and properties at very low prices."
Mrs. Zheng Wang said: "But they are also afraid that the news will be leaked, so they will not tell the outside world. They will only find reliable and trustworthy tooth shops to sell them quietly. Therefore, if the benefactor does not have connections, he may not be able to find low-price sellers."
Wen Jin nodded slightly.
"How much does a house near Chongwen Academy cost?" Wen Jin asked.
"Last month, my father arranged a deal for a house with three entrances. It was quite exquisite. I heard it was the old house of an official. It was sold for about 1,000 taels," said Wang Zheng.
Wen Jin immediately calculated in her mind that the cash in her hand now, including what her brother gave her, was only 800 taels.
Although she still has a lot of dowry, the cloth and jewelry cannot be sold easily.
If you take something worth ten taels to a pawnshop and you can give one tael, then the pawnshop is doing charity!
Not to mention two hundred taels short, she and her eldest brother moved there, bought furniture, hired servants, bought carriages and horses...
"One thousand taels is expensive. I don't have that much." Wen Jin said.
"House prices near Chongwen Yuan are indeed very expensive, comparable to those near the Imperial City." Butcher Zheng also nodded.
"Is it okay to go a little further? The price will be much more suitable." Wang Zheng asked.
The houses near Chongwen Yuan are equivalent to modern school district housing. The ancients had already had the awareness of school district housing. Meng's mother moved to this environment three times.
Wen Jin nodded, "Then it should be at least two yards. The price is around six hundred taels."
"In addition, please help me keep an eye on the shop. I want to rent a shop and do a medicinal business."
When Prince Zheng heard this, she became even more enthusiastic, "Don't worry, benefactor, I will go back to my parents' house to tell them!"
"Thank you..."
"Don't thank us, you are giving us a chance, we are very grateful!" Butcher Zheng repeatedly handed over.
Wen Jin told them that if they had any information, they should go to the back door of Prince Huai's Mansion and find Mrs. Chang who was sweeping and transporting swill in the backyard.
When they heard "Prince Huai's Mansion", the couple felt a little cautious.
But the two of them were not afraid of trouble. They thanked Wen Jin repeatedly for saving his life and got off the carriage.
…
Xiao Yuchen only heard that Wen Jin wanted to buy a real estate shop.
Little did he know that she had other plans.
He fulfilled her kindness and never expected to be rejected by her.
Xiao Yuchen had a sullen face for several days. He was upset and even Song Shiyu didn't bother to deal with it.
For several days, he stayed in the study.
"Today is Mrs. Shen's birthday. Who will the prince take?" Ji Feng asked at the door of the study.
Xiao Yuchen frowned, and the first figure that popped into his mind was Wen Jin.
She is now tall, elegant, polite, and generous. She can bear the title of Princess Pregnant.
"Who do you think this king will bring?" Xiao Yuchen asked.
"Back then, how much ridicule did Prince Huai's Mansion suffer because of marrying the princess?" Ji Feng said fiercely, "Now the princess has changed a lot! It shocked all of their jaws! How they laughed at Prince Huai's Mansion back then, now their faces are like How painful it is! In the opinion of my humble duty, the prince will take the princess there."
Xiao Yuchen snorted coldly.
Ji Feng's words spoke to his heart.
But...he had a lot of diarrhea, so he didn't care about it with her.
Unexpectedly, he offered the land to Zhuangzi with his kindness, but she rejected it again.
It seems like she is eager to draw a clear line with herself?
Who broke into the room where he was lying down and resting drunkenly during the palace banquet? Who climbed into his bed? Who lit the incense in the house?
I forced myself to marry her... now I want to draw a clear line? Give her the courage?
"I've been so good to her lately. I don't know my last name anymore! I won't take her with me!" Xiao Yuchen said angrily.
"Don't women just like to be petty? What's more, the princess has been imprisoned for six years, and her temper has been tempered a lot. In the past six years, a woman has been raising a child alone. If she hadn't been strong-tempered, she would have been unable to endure it. ." Ji Feng advised. He also saw that the prince's face was not bad and he was not really angry, so he dared to persuade him.
Xiao Yuchen is just one step away.
Ji Feng's words gave him a step forward.
"It seems to make sense..." Xiao Yuchen said.
"Besides, Mrs. Shen's sixtieth birthday is a big event. Every family brings their first wife with them. If the prince brings a concubine, although no one dares to say anything... I'm afraid he will still be reminded of the time when he was forced to marry the princess. "Ji Feng urged again and again.
Not taking Wen Jin with him seemed to remind everyone of the joke of the past.
Take her there and shock everyone's jaws!
No matter how you look at it, the latter is more cost-effective.
"Tell her to get ready, dress up well, and there is no need to wear a face covering. I will take her there today - to avenge her shame." Xiao Yuchen smiled.
But soon, he stopped laughing.
Because a servant came to report: "The princess went out with the young master of the Wen family and was not at the house."
Xiao Yuchen was stunned for a moment and was very angry.
He slammed the table and said, "Tell Concubine Song to dress up and accompany me to the Shen family for a banquet!"
Xiao Yuchen made a serious note to Wen Jin in his heart.
Wen Jin is somewhat innocent.
No one told her in advance that today was Mrs. Shen's birthday party.
She would never have thought that Xiao Yuchen would be willing to take her to the banquet.
She was sitting in the carriage driven by coachman Wang Liang, as comfortable as on vacation.
"The last few times when the princess went out, the villain was still on duty in the front yard, and she couldn't serve her. I felt really bad."
Wang Liang said while driving the car, "This time, let the villain catch up!"
He was grinning from ear to ear.
Wang Liang is a thoughtful person.
After he kowtowed in gratitude in Wutong Courtyard, he actually found a way out and was transferred to the position of driving carriages for people in the backyard.
Everyone in the stable laughed at him for being stupid.
I can drive a carriage for the prince! What a huge show that is! It's the highest position among coachmen.
Fortunately for him, the prince did not hold him accountable and he applied for transfer himself.
Wen Jin looked around the car. The car was wiped clean, even the corners were spotless.
The cushions and pillows are all brand new, soft and beautiful.
Wang Liang also prepared washed melons and fruits in the car and brewed a pot of fragrant tea. There were some freshly picked roses in the wall vase hanging on the car.
A faint floral fragrance, with morning dew on the petals. With such an elegant atmosphere, even Wen Yu said this car was the best.
Wang Liang smiled sheepishly, "The prince's car is still the biggest and most stable, and the hardware cannot compare. The villain is thinking about it, and the environment should be tidied up better..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly exclaimed, "Hu——"
Little did I know it was too late!
There was a loud bang.
Wen Jin felt like there was an earthquake!
The world is spinning! She immediately pulled Wen Yu into her arms and hugged him tightly.
"Don't be afraid, Yu'er!"
The carriage was knocked over.
Her back and right arm hit the car hard.
But a mother's instinct allows her to firmly protect the child in her arms.
"Aniang, Aniang, are you okay?" Yu'er panicked when she saw her forehead bleeding.
"Shh - I'm fine." Wen Jin smiled at him, "Can you stand up? Give me a hand."
"Don't go! You hit a car and you still want to run?!" Wang Liang also fell badly.
He got up and limped to catch the man who had hit the car.
