The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Chapter 21 Good mood

Ling Xiao was startled by his own thoughts.

His hand holding the tea cup shook, and he choked and coughed several times.

"Are you sick?" Zuo Xiangning moved her body further away and whispered: "I'm not in good health recently, so don't blame me for your illness."

Ling Xiao just regained his mood a little bit, but the woman in front of him made him disappear without a trace.

"Don't worry, I'm in good health!" Ling Xiao took out a small handful of banknotes from his arms and handed them to her, "Here!"

"Why are there so many?" Zuo Xiangning took it with a grin, walked to the window, and looked at the denomination on it through the moonlight outside, "How much is this? Ten...twenty taels? Isn't this money of yours? Isn’t it enough to piece things together?”

"I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for you, so I specially changed the banknotes of different denominations for you." Ling Xiao was originally very satisfied with his attentiveness, but now when he heard her say this, he almost vomited blood: "If you don't If you want it, bring it back to me!"

"Who said I don't want it?" Zuo Xiangning went to light the candles, sat at the table, and counted them one by one.

Ling Xiao sat next to her and looked at her serious expression, and couldn't help laughing, "Money fan!"

"I don't believe there are people in this world who don't love money." Zuo Xiangning said: "They are all standing and talking without pain in their backs. I have been really hungry for three days. Let's see who is more innocent than the other."

"Have you ever been hungry?" Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

Zuo Xiangning was hungry in her previous life.

She breathed a sigh of relief and did not answer his question.

But her faint sigh still caught the man's eyes.

She seemed to have experienced many difficulties, but he had someone check and found that her aunt had never treated her harshly.

Is there anything else that outsiders can't find out?
He became more and more curious about her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for making such a trip in the middle of the night." Zuo Xiangning took out a one-hundred-yuan banknote from the banknotes and handed it to him, "Consider this as my invitation to drink with Your Majesty."

"I won't spare you the money." Ling Xiao's eyes twitched slightly, and he took out a half-foot-long dagger from his waist. "This dagger cuts iron like clay. Be careful when you use it. Don't cut it." I hurt myself.”

Zuo Xiangning didn't believe in the legendary ability to cut iron like clay. She took it, pulled out the scabbard, raised her hand and slashed at the corner of the table.

As a result, she used too much force and a piece of the corner of the table was chipped off, and the dagger almost missed herself.

Ling Xiao, who was next to him, was startled and quickly stretched out his hand to snatch the dagger back, "Are you stupid?"

"Oh my god, what is this made of?" Zuo Xiangning touched the damaged area of ​​the table in shock, "This is too sharp."

"Iron is cut like clay! Don't you understand?" Ling Xiao stood in front of her, looked down at her, and asked nervously: "Are you injured anywhere?"

"No." Zuo Xiangning ran to take out the dagger she bought and slashed it on the table. As a result, only a shallow mark was left on the table, and her hand was numb from the shock.

"What you have is still suitable for you." Ling Xiao took the dagger he brought back to his waist, "I bought all the mountains to the east of the mountain you bought. I will take you with me tomorrow when you are free. Go check it out.”

"Tomorrow morning." Zuo Xiangning stared at the dagger on his waist and said with a smile, "You promised to give it to me before."

"It's too sharp and not suitable for you." Ling Xiao said.

"I will be careful when using it." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "You can't always be dishonest in what you say, right?"

"In a few days, I will find a suitable one for you." Ling Xiao said that he would never give it to her again. He almost scared him to death just now.

"I'm leaving." Ling Xiao heard the sound of rocks hitting outside, stood up and said, "If you have something to do, please go to Zhongyuan Hou Mansion to find me."

Zuo Xiangning sent him to the door this time.Ling Xiao glanced at her, opened the door and walked out boldly, then turned around and closed the door for her.

Zuo Xiangning opened the door another crack, and when she looked outside, there was no one outside.

This prince's martial arts are really powerful. He comes and goes without a trace.

She turned around and hid the banknotes in the small drawer closest to her head, where there were also two gold ingots given by the masked man.

Zuo Xiangning had so much money for the first time, and she was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, Zhang Rui arrived at Xianglan Zhai early.

"There are two shops for sale on East Street. One is a rouge shop with a great location, but the area is a bit small. The boss charges 800 taels of silver. The other is a traditional Chinese medicine shop at the far end. The location is a bit off, but its area is the same as the previous one. Twice the size, with transparency from front to back, a small backyard, two main rooms, two side rooms, and a back door that leads to another street. The asking price is 1000 taels. There is only one three-story restaurant for sale on West Street, which is 5000% new. It’s still in business, and it costs [-] taels of silver.”

Zhang Rui said in detail: "In Maxian Hutong, north of East Street, there are two yards for sale, both with two entrances, and the prices are around 800 taels. There is a three-entry yard on West Street, and everything is for sale. It’s complete, and the owner is in a hurry to sell it for 500 taels of silver, so it’s still less.”

"Let's go take a look now." Zuo Xiangning stood up immediately and said, "Go hire a carriage outside and pick me up at the side door."

Half an hour later, Zuo Xiangning, who had dressed up in disguise, followed Zhang Ruixian to the East Street to look at the two shops.

Zuo Xiangning fell in love with it at first sight and asked Zhang Rui to go find the landlord.

Zhang Rui was secretly surprised beside him.

But since he knew that his family would have to follow Zuo Xiangning in the future, he worked very hard to leave a good impression on Zuo Xiangning, so he completed all the instructions given to Zuo Xiangning with all his heart, without any hesitation. come out.

Zuo Xiangning and Zhang Rui kept bargaining with the landlord, and finally one house was sold for 750 taels of silver, and the other for 880 taels.

She directly asked Zhang Rui to go to the landlord to complete all the procedures.

At this time, Zhang Rui realized that the young master he was following was not a simple concubine. This time might be the best opportunity for his family to turn around.

Zhang Rui became more and more careful in his work.

In the afternoon, Zuo Xiangning and Zhang Rui visited several houses.

The first two houses are in good locations, but they are both a bit small and the furnishings inside are a bit shabby. If they are bought, they will have to be renovated, which is both expensive and time-consuming.

As for the three-in house on West Street, it is spacious and bright. The main room, the back room and the back room are all designed to be clean and elegant.

"Who is suitable to buy this house? You can ask around the capital. It is difficult to buy such a good house even for 2000 taels." The person looking at the house was an old man who looked very shrewd and called himself Lao Xu.

Old Xu introduced eloquently: "There is a small garden on the east side of the house, and there is a place for carriages and sedan chairs on the west side. As long as you can think of it, this house is all equipped. If you buy it, you will get it. You don’t have to spend any money, just buy a quilt and you can live in it directly.”

"This house is nice, but it's still too expensive," Zhang Rui said with a smile: "Our young master just wants to buy a small house to stay in for two days when he comes to the capital for business. It's really not cost-effective to spend too much money."

"What is inconvenient to do in this corner of the house? And a young and elegant young man like the young master needs such a tasteful house to be worthy of the young master's character." Old Xu said flatteringly: "If the young master is the truth If you win, then I won’t ask you for money, and I will give you a real price, one thousand, three hundred taels of silver, including everything in the entire house, and everything will be yours.”

Zuo Xiangning was a little excited and said: "This one thousand, three hundred taels is not a small amount. Give me a day and I will tell you tomorrow afternoon whether to buy it or not."

She took out five taels of silver and treated Lao Xu to a drink.

Old Xu accepted the money with a smile on his face and happily agreed: "Don't worry, I'll wait for you all day!"

On the way back to Zuofu, Zuo Xiangning gave Zhang Rui ten taels of silver and said, "Find out a way to find out if there is anything else in this house, as well as the neighbors in front, back, left, and right, and who lives there. If possible, If so, it’s best to find out about the homeowner’s situation.”

Zhang Rui responded with a respectful "yes".

On the way, Zuo Xiangning suddenly remembered something very important. She promised Prince Zhongyuan that she would go see the mountains this morning, but she was busy buying shops and houses and forgot about it in excitement. What to do?
