Chapter 173

Xie Chaoyun guessed Shen Lidong's whereabouts, he ordered the people under him to go to the women's school, and the back and forth took less than an hour, and the people who came back reported to him that Shen Lidong really did not go to the women's school today.

Because he actually forgot that today is a holiday, Shen Lidong doesn't have to go to school at all.

After Xie Chaoyun got the news, he wished he could slap his forehead, no wonder Shen Wenxuan was so sure, he must have known that today was Shen Lidong's holiday and she would not go to school, so he would never wait for this one Shen Lidong's carriage passed by here.

Thinking of this, Xie Chaoyun decided to stop for a while, and wait here tomorrow, and return the cloak to Shen Lidong, he can still use Shen Lidong's cloak to cover it tonight, it would be nice to have one more night.

But where is Shen Lidong at this moment?

Naturally, Shen Lidong was not in her bamboo lotus courtyard at this time, but under the guidance of Mammy Yu, he took Mulan to a house in Tsingyi Alley.

The person who came to greet her was a woman in Tsing Yi, about forty years old, with a pleasant smile on her face. When she heard Yuma Yu's intention, she immediately smiled until her eyes narrowed into a line.

After exchanging greetings with Nanny Yu, he took Shen Lidong to the nearest shop to have a look.

The surname of the wire-wiring person, Yazi, is a man from the capital with a good reputation in Yazi. Both the wealthy family and the wives of the officials take good care of her business. Generally, those who are looking for servants and maidservants at home, or buying Zhuangzi, houses, and fields all look for this person. Such as aunt.

Shen Lidong heard from Nanny Yu that this auntie Ru was also a poor person, she was originally the maidservant of our lady, but later the lady gave her grace and sent her to slavery, and gave her to a shopkeeper surnamed Liu, who gave her back to her. Given her 100 taels of dowry silver, she should have lived a good life.

However, the good times didn't last long, who knew that she met someone who was not good, and married a scumbag man, the shopkeeper Liu's mother was mean and ungrateful, and Mrs. Ru only gave birth to a daughter after three years of entering the house, so she treated Mrs. Ru on weekdays. He either beat her or scolded her, and even contrived to defraud her of 100 taels of dowry silver.After Madam Ru was cheated out of all the money, she was divorced by shopkeeper Liu in the name of having no children. Madam Ru was kicked out of the house together with her daughter.

The actual situation is that, because shopkeeper Liu is good-looking and handsome, he climbed up to a daughter of a rich family, so he took the dowry silver of the aunt as a dowry gift to the other party, and was afraid that the daughter born to the aunt would hinder him. For the future, even the daughter is gone, let the aunt take away, and kicked out of the house without giving a penny.

After Shen Lidong heard this, he couldn't help asking Nanny Yu out of sympathy, under such circumstances, why didn't he report it to the government, after all, it was Ru Da Niang's dowry money.

Nanny Yu told Shen Lidong that shopkeeper Liu's newly married wife is related to the local county magistrate. How could Mrs. Ru sue shopkeeper Liu?

However, this Ru aunt is also stubborn, she took her daughter all the way to the capital, begged along the way, and then arrived in the capital like this, because their mother and daughter were pitiful, they were called by a man in the capital called He Auntie's kind-hearted people took him in, and helped Aunt Ru find a job, and followed Aunt He into the human teeth business.

For the sake of her daughter, that Ru aunt is willing to endure any hardship. She didn't take many jobs at the beginning, but gradually, as time passed, she gradually became familiar with the housekeepers, nurses and wives of the rich families. , because of her good reputation, she was recognized by the big family. With more jobs, Ru Da Niang established a firm foothold in the capital. Gradually, her business became better and better, surpassing He Auntie, but this is like a aunt who knows how to repay her kindness, and Aunt He will share in any good deeds, in order to thank Aunt He for taking care of her back then.

Shen Lidong listened to Nanny Yu's past experience like a aunt, but smiled and joked with Nanny.

"Mammy is really kind-hearted. This Mulan is the first one for my family. Now Mammy introduced business to Mrs. Ru, but she sent kindness again."

"Miss, this old slave would never dare to make fun of the young lady's money. Don't worry, young lady, this old slave's sympathy is all sympathy. In terms of this price, the one who should bargain is still to be bargained. The old slave will not give it away for nothing. It's someone else's money." Hearing what Shen Lidong said, Madam Yu never showed any panic on her face.After getting along with her for a while, she also knows her young lady's temperament and doesn't violate the bottom line. In general, the young lady turns a blind eye and closes one eye, and doesn't care about anything.

"That's right. Of course, my lady's money will not be given away in vain. This lady is very relieved when she is doing business." Shen Lidong smiled, and followed in the footsteps of Mrs. Ru into the gate of a shop.

The location of these two shops is in a prosperous area, the area is not big, but the asking price is extremely high. The price of the two shops is 8000 taels of silver. The price tag from the price.Shen Lidong's shopping in the capital these days is not for nothing. Naturally, when he goes out to buy things, he will occasionally ask the maids to inquire about the approximate prices of the stores on each street. The businessman was here, and Shen Lidong knew the approximate prices of the shops in these areas, so Mrs. Dangru offered 8000 taels of silver to these two shops without saying anything, but felt that the prices were a little higher.

"Ma'am, there are two shops here, one is a jewelry shop and the other is a silk and satin shop. The price of the shop is around 7000 taels. Why is the price of these two shops 1000 taels higher?" Shen Lidong thought. Since she is a person that Mammy Yu can trust, Ru Da Niang started off like she did in the past, she should cherish the reputation she has accumulated very much, and she will not easily make fun of her reputation.

After hearing what Shen Lidong said, Naru aunt didn't panic, she spoke slowly. "Miss, you are right. The price of the Jewelry Pavilion and the Silk and Satin Shop on the side is indeed only 7000 taels, and the price of these two shops and the house behind them is 8000 taels. That's because the owner of the shop is eager to transfer , it was sold at a low price, as usual, even if these two shops cost 1 taels of silver, there are still people rushing for it."

"What's the reason?" Shen Lidong asked curiously.

"The feng shui of these two shops is very good. If Miss buys this shop, the God of Wealth will definitely take care of her, and the money will flow in." Auntie Ru whispered to Shen Lidong.

"If that's the case, why is the owner of this shop so eager to sell it? Could it be that someone died in this shop?" Gu Gu estimated that there was only one reason why the house that could have been sold at a higher price was eagerly sold at a low price. For this reason, Shen Lidong couldn't think of any other reason.

After hearing what Shen Lidong said, Mother Yu hurriedly said: "Mother Ru, you have to tell Miss honestly, you and I are old acquaintances, you can't lie to my lady and harm me."

"Nurse Yu, I wouldn't dare to lie to your lady. There is no such thing, really no. There has never been a dead person in this shop. I can guarantee that, with my reputation as a child, there will never be such a thing. "Auntie Ru hurriedly explained.

"If that's the case, what's the reason?" Shen Lidong asked with a frown.

"Miss, it's okay to tell you this matter, but don't let it out. It's just that the second young master of Zheng Guogong's mansion has taken a fancy to Wu Mingzhu, the daughter of shopkeeper Wu. Neither Wu Mingzhu nor shopkeeper Wu is willing to submit. The second young master sent people to smash the shop every day, so how could the father and daughter continue to open the shop, so they had to sell the shop, and the father and daughter were going to go back to the countryside to avoid the limelight, and they would not go back to the capital again." When the aunt mentioned this, she actually thought of her own experience. She sympathized with the father and daughter of shopkeeper Wu, so when a customer came to the door, she was the first to recommend this place.
