He is not a person who accepts his fate.
When the whole family reached its lowest point, didn't she get up and return to the capital?
Twenty years ago, her mother relied on embroidery to support so many people in the family. She could also use this embroidery method to gain a foothold in the Xie family.
He tried his best to buy some silk thread and began to embroider some extremely difficult handkerchiefs...
Yun Chu told his men: "Buy some of He's handkerchiefs and keep the ones with unique stitching techniques. I will be of great use."
Tingshuang nodded and arranged for someone to buy a handkerchief.
He didn't expect the handkerchiefs to be sold so easily, so he thought about embroidering some more valuable and large items, such as screens and other items.
On this day, Chen Defu hurriedly walked in to report: "Madam, He Xu escaped from the capital owing a huge sum of ten thousand taels of silver. The old slave has arranged for four people to follow him. What should we do next?"
Yun Chu's lips curved into a sneer: "The next step is to make him no longer humane."
Chen Defu hesitated: "But if he is handed over to those people, I'm afraid he will die directly..."
"You arrange a few people to do it." Yunchu's face was as cold as ice, "If you take money, you have to pay the price. Isn't this the rule of the casino?"
When lending money to He Xu, he signed the mortgage document and chopped off the thing, which was in compliance with the laws of this dynasty.
Although she is bent on revenge, she will not touch the law.
Her grandfather would uphold the Yun family's innocence and reputation until his death, and she would not let the Yun family be shamed.
In the afternoon of the next day, Chen Defu came again: "Madam, it's done. He has been given medicine and he has survived. He is continuing on his way. The destination is Jizhou."
Yun Chu nodded: "Have you found the name He Lingying?"
Chen Defu shook his head: "There are not many people named He in the capital, and no one has this name."
"Then let someone go to Jizhou to find out more." Yun Chu stood up, took out a large box from the table and handed it over, "Uncle Chen, you have worked hard for me during this time. This is some tea, please accept it, Uncle Chen." Get off."
Uncle Chen used to be focused on running the shop. Although he was busy, he was mentally relaxed.
It seems that there is nothing serious to do now, but in fact, it requires great psychological pressure.
Chen Defu didn't dare to accept it, so he waved his hand quickly.
He is a son of the Yun family, and the Yun family is kind to him. It is only natural for him to do things for his wife. There is no reason to accept expensive tea leaves.
"There are still many things that Uncle Chen has to do next. If you don't accept them, I won't dare to do them. I can only let you go back and take care of yourself."
Hearing this, Uncle Chen could only take the tea leaves.
Yunchu then talked to him about selling ice. At first, Chen Defu bought ice in the name of a southern businessman without revealing the Yun family. Next, he also arranged for a southerner to open an ice trading shop in the capital until the end of May. , officially opened to welcome guests.
Chen Defu leaves these matters to his subordinates to avoid exposing his identity.
"The prices for the few Zhuangzi in my dowry are pretty good." Yunchu said, "The money added up can just enough to buy a big Zhuangzi."
The profits of the several businesses under her name are getting worse every year. They can sell them at a higher price now, but they will become less valuable in the future.
Chen Defu raised his head and said, "I know that there are many big farms in the suburbs of Beijing, and my master wants to sell them. Why don't I go and talk about them?"
Yun Chu shook his head: "I want the Wu family's manor in the north of the city."
Hearing this, Chen Defu couldn't help being shocked.
More than 20 years ago, the Wu family was a new big family in the capital. The head of the family was an official in the court, and the family business was doing well. However, later the Wu family suffered from a strange disease, and everyone from the elder to the younger generation was spared. In order to cure the disease , sold off countless family properties, and the huge family was gone, and in the end only the village outside the city was left.
The village was not very big. It mainly contained a mountain, a lake, and a small forest. It had everything it needed. The last person of the Wu family sold the village to the Zou family for 20,000 taels of silver.
As soon as the Zou family took over, there were rumors that it was haunted. The Zou family's luck was also affected, and they sold Zhuangzi overnight at a low price.
A businessman did not believe in evil and bought Zhuangzi. Similarly, as soon as he took over Zhuangzi, the businessman found someone to sell Zhuangzi as cheaply as possible.
But everyone who wanted to buy Zhuangzi in the market had heard about this strange thing, and no one dared to take over it. So the Zhuangzi was sold to the businessman, and it has not been sold yet.
"In total, that farm has been abandoned for more than 20 years." Chen Defu said regretfully, "The land there is fertile, the crops are long, and the harvest is excellent every year. For some reason, there are rumors of being haunted. A good farm is ruined like this, Madam. , you’d better look at other Zhuangzi, there are many better choices.”
Yun Chu thought that in her previous life, when she was about thirty years old, a fire suddenly broke out in the Wu family's village, and all the barren weeds were burned away. Only then did people realize that there was a huge hot spring hidden in the village, which was eventually destroyed. If a concubine in the palace wins it, she can make a lot of money every year.
As for the original haunting incident, it has long been forgotten in the long river of time.
Now that she has a prophetic perspective, she will not let Zhuangzi spend so many years in vain.
She stood up and said, "Let's go to Zhuangzi for a walk."
Chen Defu was shocked: "Madam, do you really want to buy that Zhuangzi? Please think twice."
"Back then, the Zou family spent 20,000 taels of silver on Zhuangzi, but they sold it to a merchant at a low price for only about 15,000 taels. How much silver can I pay for it?" Yun Chu smiled, "The price is not an issue, let's start with Go see what’s going on with the hauntings.”
Although she is a reborn person, she still does not believe this. In her opinion, it is probably man-made.
Chen Defu frowned: "Madam, it's getting late, why don't I go find some Taoist priests tomorrow?"
"Ghosts only come out at night." Yun Chu stood up and walked out, "But you really need to take a few more people with you, including all the strong men and women in the house."
Not only Chen Defu, but Ting Shuang was also frightened.
She knew that Madam had been more courageous recently, but she didn't expect that she would become like this.
No family in the whole capital dared to take over the haunted Zhuangzi. For fear that the family's fortune would be affected, Madam decided to do the opposite.
However, Madam is originally on the opposite side of the Xie family, so it seems understandable?
Tingshuang went out to gather all the stout women. She said she was going to the madam's dowry village to bring back some leftover things. She didn't dare to say that she was going to the haunted village, for fear that no one would dare to go.
As the sun set, Yun Chu led the people out of the city.
When she heard about this, the old lady couldn't believe it: "I'm so sick, and she doesn't even come to see me, but why am I leaving the city at this time?"
Zhou's mother lowered her head and said, "Madam sent someone to deliver ginseng this morning, so she did her best."
The old lady also knew that Yunchu had done everything she should do. She used to like this grandson-in-law quite a lot, but now she doesn't like her at all.
She drank the medicine and leaned on the bed and said, "Does this mean that all her properties have been sold?"
Zhou’s mother said: “Maybe Madam is short of money.”
"Oh, she took more than 20,000 taels of silver from me earlier. She is the richest in the whole family, and she even sold the village. Most women will not use their dowry unless they have to." The old lady narrowed her eyes. "Why does she suddenly need so much money?"
"My guess is..." Zhou's mother lowered her voice, "The miracle doctor who treated the Queen has arrived in Beijing. I guess the lady is raising money to treat herself. What woman doesn't want a child of her own?"
The old lady had also heard of that miracle doctor. Because of his superb medical skills, too many people came to see him, so he raised the fee for pulse diagnosis to a sky-high price. It is said that he only agreed to have a pulse diagnosis for 5,000 taels of silver. , tens of thousands of taels of silver were gone in the blink of an eye...
It seemed that Yun Chu could understand what he did. Anyway, the disease was cured and the child born was also a member of the Xie family, so she could just leave it to her.
