Chapter 1 Concubine in the Eighteenth Room
"Yanyan, why do you disobey your grandparents' good intentions?"

"The Huangfu family is as rich as the country. If you enter the Huangfu Mansion, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Why don't you agree to such a good marriage?"

Xie Yanyan was in a daze for two days. This creature called mother kept beeping like a Tang monk reciting sutras.

She finally woke up today and looked at the simple wooden window without saying a word.

This is the capital of the former Qin Dynasty and the residence of the Marquis of Wuyi.

The eldest uncle Xie Anhuai owed 300,000 taels of silver in the gambling house. He pawned a pair of celadon vases given by the emperor and blocked the hole in the gambling house. However, he had no money to redeem it. When someone reported him, Emperor Xuanwen was furious. Uncle went to jail.

For the sake of the loyalty of the Hou family for generations, the emperor gave him a 10-day grace period. If he still could not redeem the imperial treasure intact, he would be severely punished for the crime of disrespect.

The Hou Mansion has long been empty out, let alone 10 days, even if it is granted ten years, it will be difficult to redeem it.

The old lady Shen made the decision and promised Xie Yanyan, the legitimate daughter of the second wife, to the wealthy businessman Huangfu Ming as the concubine of the eighteenth wife. The other party was willing to pay money to redeem the celadon vase for the Hou Mansion.

Xie Yanyan firmly disagreed. How could she be the concubine of a merchant when she was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis Mansion?
"Since it's a good match, why doesn't Xie Xiangxiang get married? Her father lost money in a bet, why should he ask me to plug the hole?"

"Xiangxiang has unparalleled beauty and outstanding talent. She is the most talented woman in Kyoto. She is the hope of the Hou family. Naturally, she cannot marry a merchant."

Xie Yanyan and Jiang Shuang were crying, but they couldn't control their marriage.

In desperation, Xie Yanyan hanged himself, his fragrance disappeared, and the core was replaced by Xie Yanyan who had the same name and surname from the 22nd century.

"Other than being older, Huangfu Ming has nothing wrong with him. If you marry and give birth to a boy, all the wealth will belong to you. Yan Yan, your grandparents are also doing this for your own good." Jiang Shuang was still chattering beside her, feeling extremely anxious.

The emperor limited it to 10 days, and 6 days have passed.

The old lady said that Yan'er was cowardly and that he would figure it out. If it doesn't work, I'll take him to Huangfu Mansion.

Xie Yanyan slowly sat up and moved his wrists. After two days of starvation, his body was a little weak.

Leaning lazily on the bed box, with a few strands of hair covering half of his face, he said calmly: "I agree."

"what?"

"I agreed."

"Ah? You finally figured it out! This is great. Mom is relieved. I'll tell your grandparents right away." Jiang Shuang felt relieved and a little excited. She stood up and was about to report to the old lady.

"Wait a minute! I have two conditions: First, bring the ransom first, I want to see the money first to prevent both people and money from being lost; second, write me a letter of dissolution and allow me to start my own business."

"You, how could you..." break off the relationship? Start your own business? Nonsense!

"Don't agree? If you don't agree, find someone else. If you force me again, I will be set on fire and the entire Hou Mansion will be buried with me."

Jiang Shuang looked at Xie Yanyan and suddenly felt a little flinching. She always felt that something was different.

My daughter has always been gentle and a little timid, but in front of her, her face was still the same, but full of indifference and impatience.

Jiang Shuang went to the old lady to report it anxiously.

Seeing her leaving the yard, Xie Yanyan immediately put on his clothes and shoes, put on a veil, went to the stables, secretly took his father's horse, walked around the bamboo garden, and quickly went out through the back corner door.

There was a quiet street when he went out. Xie Yanyan got on his horse, and based on his memory, he accelerated his horse and galloped towards East Street.

The layout of Kyoto is that the east is rich, the west is noble, the north is poor, and the south is poor. Rich people gather in the east streets, while the west streets are basically filled with dignitaries.

Huangfu Mansion is easy to find. As the second largest merchant in the Qin Kingdom, Huangfu Mansion stands out from the rest on East Street, and its luxury is even higher than the mansions of dignitaries on West Street.

Xie Yanyan walked around Huangfu Mansion twice, dismounted, tied the horse to a tree in the west corner of the mansion, and walked around the wall of Huangfu Mansion on foot.

Those who didn't know better thought she was studying the wall tiles of Huangfu Mansion.

After completing the circle, she left Huangfu Mansion on horseback, bought two buns from the bun shop, and walked along the streets of Kyoto, looking for the grain shop marked by the Huangfu family.

The Huangfu family was a grain merchant, and their grain business was spread throughout the former Qin Dynasty and surrounding small countries.

In the former Qin Dynasty, there were six Huangfu grain shops in Kyoto, monopolizing the entire rice supply in Kyoto.

Xie Yanyan rode his horse from street to street, visiting one shop after another. He did not enter a shop, but dismounted and walked around along the wall. On West Street, there are ten shops along the street. Behind them is the Huangfu Rice and Grain Warehouse, which contains 10 shi of white rice and 10 shi of flour.

Xie Yanyan went into the store and bought 10 kilograms of white rice. He borrowed the restroom from the store for a trip and walked out of the rice shop carrying the rice bag.

She did not rush home, but went to Wanghai Pavilion, the busiest restaurant in Kyoto.

I asked for a street private room on the second floor, ordered a few signature dishes, ordered a pot of tea, and sat by the window.

A pair of phoenix eyes, cold and careless.

After a while, the peaceful street became chaotic, and government officials rushed onto the street in groups.

Someone asked in panic: "What happened?"

"Huangfu Mansion was stolen!"

"Both the Criminal Department and Dali Temple were dispatched. Good guy, how many things were lost?"

After a while, someone ran into the restaurant and shouted excitedly: "It's terrible, all the rice shops in Huangfu Mansion and the Huangfu family have been looted. Not only the gold, silver, rice, flour, grain and oil disappeared out of thin air, but even the golden nanmu door was gone." Fly with wings.”

"Ah, in broad daylight, who is so capable as to remove the door?"

"Oh my god, this is more cruel than a house raid! Are you being punished by God?"

……

Xie Yanyan took a sip of the light green tea. Well, this tea is good!

"Waiter, bring all the signature dishes. Please have big portions."

The waiter looked at Xie Yanyan and reminded: "Miss, you can't eat that much by yourself."

"You can go ahead. Hey, 500 taels." Xie Yanyan put a pocket on the table with a bang.

There are no banknotes yet, so you can only carry heavy metals when entering and exiting.

500 taels of silver, half a pocket, quite heavy.

The corner of the waiter's mouth twitched. She was a young lady from an unknown family. She was young and good-looking, but she had a face that was not easy to mess with, like a prickly boy.

Take action but be generous.

After happily saying "Okay", the waiter happily picked up the money and went to the kitchen to place the order.

500 taels. The most luxurious courtyard in Kyoto only costs 500 taels. Not to mention serving all the dishes at Wanghai Pavilion, including bear paws, antlers and tiger whip, it is enough!
Course after course of delicacies, delicacies from mountains and seas, the waiter brought two large tables with dishes arranged in layers.

The waiter was instructed by the shopkeeper to give Xie Yanyan a basket of fresh grapes that had been shipped quickly from the Western Regions.

The grains are purple-red, with a layer of white icing sugar on top, exuding the unique sweet and sour aroma of grapes.

"Grapes are exclusively for the royal family. Wanghai Pavilion only has this basket, and it's all given to the young lady." The waiter earnestly claimed the credit.

Xie Yanyan's eyebrows were light and he didn't even raise his eyelids.

The waiter immediately felt that he was in a small position, so he said flatteringly, "You can use it with ease," and walked out backwards.

Xie Yanyan didn't move his chopsticks, and the dishes on the table disappeared in an instant. She put down two more silver coins to pay for the plates.

Get up and leave the restaurant.

Just when he walked to the horse post, he suddenly staggered and couldn't hold on to the horse post, his face turned pale for a moment.
