Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

The mother thought about it.

"We finally closed the deal at 1,500 taels, using an official deed and paying taxes."

Wang Jinyi thought, it's over, her suspicions were true, and they had even been reported to the government. Her mother didn't think much about it, and was pulled into a carefully woven web by Zhao Tongpan's family.

But it's not too late yet. Maybe I can still try to struggle and see if I can break free from this trap.

"Mother, we have to go back to the Wang residence as soon as possible to tell our grandparents."

The mother looked at the carriages behind her. Some had left, some were walking, and only one carriage was left, with Wang Pingan standing in front of it.

The mother thought she should have a good talk with her daughter.

The mother and daughter got into the carriage hand in hand. As soon as they sat down, Wang Jinyi lifted the curtain.

"Manager Wang, please buy a few souvenirs for the visit. Keep them simple and the sooner the better.

Qing'er, you can follow me. There's no need to keep anyone in the carriage. Come back quickly!"

After the two of them left, the mother asked,

"Jin'er? Tell me, what happened?"

"Mother, who said that this shop was for sale?"

The mother thought about it.

"She is a close friend of mine, and she is a legitimate daughter of the Chang family."

"Is that person related to Zhao Tongpan's family?"

The mother was instantly enlightened.

"Her husband's family was under the command of Zhao Tongpan, and he served as a military officer under the command of the commander!"

"Mother, are you sure?"

The mother nodded and said with certainty,

"His husband is indeed under the command of Zhao Tongpan. I can confirm that."

The mother recalled that it happened a few days ago.

At that time, Wang Jinyi was preparing to buy a shop. He had not yet visited "Zhengchanglong" nor met the crazy horse in the East Market. It was just that the family manager Wang Ping'an went to the pawnshop and inquired about the prices of the surrounding shops.

result.

Chang Xiang'er, a close friend of my mother Hui Niang before she got married, came to visit.

I still remember the day I received the visiting card. My mother Hui Niang was a little confused. It was not a festival and I didn't visit often, so why did he come to visit suddenly?

But after all, they were friends, so he went to the second gate to greet him.

Chang Xiang'er's hair was combed smooth and shiny, and she wore a jade hairpin inlaid with gems on her head. She also wore a golden three-pronged embroidered flower-shaped hairpin, and her earrings were also sparkling.

She was wearing a pink and purple skirt, a cherry pink satin embroidered shirt, and a slightly plain lotus pink quilt. She walked towards me with her arms folded in the shiny gauze, bringing a gust of fragrance and accompanied by cheerful laughter.

"Oh, we haven't seen each other for so long. I really miss you."

The mother was distant and gentle, and did not answer. The visitor grabbed Hui Niang's hand, patted her hand gently, and looked her up and down. Seeing that Hui Niang was wearing a simple and elegant cloth robe,

“Sister, I came here at my leisure. I have always heard that you married into the Wang family. It is truly extraordinary!

Tsk tsk tsk, seeing it today, it really lives up to its reputation. "

Then the two of them walked into the main hall hand in hand.

Logically, Hui Niang was the host and Chang Xiang'er was the guest, and they should have sat opposite each other, but Chang Xiang'er held her hand tightly, so the two of them could only sit next to each other in adjacent seats.

The two chatted about their childhood acquaintance and got along very well. In the end, Hui Niang asked directly:

"Xiang'er, why did you think of me today?"

"Oh, what a coincidence. Today I wanted to register the shop that I bought with others at the brokerage office, but I didn't expect to see your manager asking about buying a shop."

"You have a shop to sell?"

"That's right! Isn't it a coincidence? We are destined to be together. Look around and see what kind of store you want to buy. I also have a store I want to sell."

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I only have a small amount of money, and I want to save it for my daughter's dowry and buy a shop. That's the idea, but I don't know if I can succeed."

"Don't tell me I really have two shops. I also need money. You can choose one of the two shops."

"How is this good?"

"Oh, what are you talking about? We know each other well. It's better to buy from me than from others. I feel more assured. You are also helping me. I'm in urgent need of cash, and you also have cash. Isn't this two good things combined into one good thing? You really help me."

Chang Xiang'er smiled and patted Hui Niang's hand.

"Let the servants go and look at the shops tomorrow, and then we'll decide which shop is more suitable, and then we'll discuss the price..."

So when the servants came back after checking, Chang Xiang'er made an appointment with Hui Niang to meet in a teahouse and negotiated the lowest price. Later, Wang Jinyi fell ill and the transaction was interrupted. However, Chang Xiang'er took the initiative to say that she was in urgent need of cash, so she reduced the price by 300 yuan and asked Hui Niang to pay the full amount of the goods in one lump sum without leaving a deposit.

So, at the repeated request of her friend, Hui Niang spent 1,500 taels to buy the shop, Yuanfengmao, which was worth more than 3,000 taels.

I bought this shop, and today I brought my daughter here and it was the first time I saw this shop in person.

The mother explained the situation briefly and thought about it carefully herself.

Wang Jinyi can now almost conclude that this deal is a trap.

Putting together all the information he had accidentally obtained, Wang Jinyi confirmed his reasoning.

First of all, this shop belonged to Zhao Tongpan’s wife, whose son had just beaten someone to death.

In order to find a strong witness to prove her son's innocence, the mother sold the shop to the family of a scholar at a low price, forcing the family to become witnesses to a murder case.

It not only increased the bargaining chips of the playboy in the murder case, but also proved that his son accidentally injured someone and had sold the shop to pay off debts and save lives.

Moreover, the two officials, one civil and one military, put great pressure on the officials trying the case.

It also makes people afraid of the power of officials and dare not continue to appeal!

Or they are afraid of power and compromise.

What a great move this is.

This kind of calculation, without you even realizing it, has pulled you into the network of relationships in this case.

As the mother spoke and thought, Wang Jinyi had already made a judgment.

Outside the carriage, Qing'er's reply interrupted the two of them:

"Ma'am, Miss, we are back."

This time, the mother understood her daughter's intention and lifted the curtain to let her daughter go.

"Let's go to the Wang residence. Don't delay on the way."

Qing'er got into the carriage, and the steward Wang Ping'an sat on the carriage frame. The carriage ran quickly and arrived at the side door of Wang's house. People around my grandmother greeted them at the door.

After getting off the car, he went directly to his grandmother's upper room. Wang Jinyi was now anxious to tell his grandmother about what happened, wanting to ask his grandmother, who had been the head of the household for decades, to analyze the seriousness of the matter.

After entering the hall and greeting everyone, my grandmother smiled and asked,

"Jin'er, I'm safe now. How are you recovering?"

Wang Jinyi felt that the small talk was too exhausting, so she went straight to the point.

"Grandma, I have something I want to ask you."

"Let's talk and listen."

"Grandma, I want to buy a shop. Do you agree with this?"
