The First Phoenix

Tang Chujun's mood has undergone earth-shaking changes recently.

Because of her unhappy marriage, she had been living a dull life and didn't care about money, jewelry or clothes at all.

Things are different now. Her son and daughter have been lost and found, making her gloomy life bloom with beautiful flowers.

The entire Haitang Courtyard was filled with vitality. The objects hidden in the warehouse and the things borrowed by Aunt Wen are all placed everywhere.

The furnishings in the Manhua Hall were particularly opulent and elegant, with even more incense burners and charcoal basins than in other places, using the most expensive, smokeless silver charcoal on the market.

Shi Anrou thought of Aunt Wen's house with bare walls and freezing cold Rose Garden, and she felt jealous of Shi Anxia for no reason.

Giving birth to a good child is more important than rebirth. If she were like this, even if she had to do it again, she would still feel extremely powerless.

"An Rou greets mother and sister An Xia!" An Rou lowered her head and looked pleasing.

Tang Chujun remembered his daughter's reminder just now, and calmly tried, "Sit down, Rou'er is about to get her haircut at the turn of the new year. Spring is the most popular day for flower-viewing banquets, so I'll ask your mother to take you to see each other more often. I can find a good in-law."

Shi Anrou's eyebrows jumped, here she comes! This is because you are afraid that I will block the good marriage between your daughter and Prince Jin.

She just sat down half sideways, then stood up in fear, "Thank you, mother, for worrying, but Rou'er still wants to stay at home for two years."

Tang Chujun didn't care much. It wasn't his daughter anyway, so why did he care? Her attitude is shown on her face and she doesn't hide it at all.

Shi Anrou felt very cold in her heart. Earlier I wanted to get some of the Tang family's dowry. As the aunt, I have to buy something for myself.

Looking at the situation, I'm afraid we can't count on it.

She changed the subject and went straight to the point, "I heard that my aunt's farm is in the hands of Sister An Xia?"

Shi Anxia raised his eyelids to look at her and nodded, "Yes, my little aunt paid six hundred taels of silver with Zhuangzi, isn't it in my hand?"

Shi Anrou asked casually, but her tone didn't hide the secret in her heart, "Sister Anxia, do you want to do something with that farm?"

Shi Anxia has been restless ever since she learned that her aunt's Zhuangzi fell into Shi Anxia's hands.

The reason why she came to test was very simple, she just wanted to confirm whether Shi Anxia was reborn like her. If not, then she can find a way to buy Zhuangzi.

Shi Anxia seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "What can Zhuangzi do? My aunt cheated my mother, and she has no money to compensate, so she can't just get away without paying anything. No matter how Zhuangzi breaks it, it won't be worth three melons. Jujube?"

"Since Sister An Xia is useless, why not sell her to me?"

Shi Anxia agreed immediately, "Okay, I just promised someone else, one thousand eight hundred taels of silver. If you want it, I'll give it to you first."

"One thousand eight hundred taels of silver?" Shi Anrou almost cried out, "Didn't you say it's not worth anything?"

Shi Anxia nodded seriously, "Yes, it was really worthless when my aunt gave it to me. But now I have found a buyer, a rich man from Maocheng, who is willing to buy it for 1,800 taels of silver, what do you think? Am I a lucky star?"

It would be strange to believe you! After Shi Anrou tested this, she was still confused and made no progress.

"Sister An Xia is indeed a blessed person, but considering that we are sisters, can you give it to me at a lower price?"

"Favours are favors, and I will not give in the money I deserve." Shi Anxia asked sincerely, "Is there something fishy about that village? It actually attracted people to buy from me for 1,800 taels of silver. Now Sister An Rou also If you want Zhuangzi, why don’t you come and listen to it? Let my mother also take a look at it to see if it’s worth the price.”

Shi Anrou's heart moved, "Sister An Xia, do you really not know the use of this manor?"

Shi Anxia shook his head, looking confused, "I really don't know."

Shi Anrou had a calculation in her mind, "There is a hot spring on Yanhang Mountain. Once the hot spring flows down, the entire village will be revitalized and become a place for dignitaries to enjoy themselves, and money will continue to flow into their pockets."

Shi Anxia said "Ah" in great agreement and suddenly realized, "No wonder that rich man is willing to pay 1,800 taels of silver to buy my village. It is indeed a good business."

The string in Shi Anrou's heart was loosened, and she felt that Shi Anxia had not been reborn.

If the Tang mother and daughter could help her make a living in this hot spring, she would be willing to share some money with them in the future.

Shi Anrou said, "If you're interested, why don't mother and sister Anxia also come and join in? We can't let outsiders get the advantage of just sitting around and dividing the money. My aunt and I can take care of the other chores."

Shi Anxia almost laughed out loud. This is a change of gameplay, I plan to use my hands empty-handed to defeat the wolf!

She refused simply, "My mother is not short of money and is not interested in these troublesome things. If you really want that Zhuangzi, I will sell it to you for 1,800 taels."

Shi Anrou shook her head in her heart, feeling that Shi Anxia's vision was still too short-sighted.

So what if she was a queen mother in her previous life, now she is just a little girl who has never seen the world.

If she didn't have money and didn't know the dignitaries, would she be able to recruit them into the gang?

But today was not in vain, at least I knew that Shi Anxia was not reborn. Shi Anrou felt that the development to the present was different from the trajectory of the previous life entirely because her rebirth had affected the pattern.

Right, that is it. She convinced herself very seriously.

She wanted to keep Tang's mother and daughter in suspense first, "Sister An Xia, can you give me a few days to raise the money?"

Shi Anxia was very generous, "Then let's take three days. The benefits should always be left to the family."

family! If you sell me one thousand eight hundred taels, you are still a member of the family! Shi Anrou was really annoyed.

But she could only put on a happy expression at the right time, "Thank you, mother, thank you, sister Anxia, then An Rou will take her leave."

As soon as they left, Tang Chujun couldn't wait to ask, "What should we do now? If she finds the money to rob that village, even if we get it, we will have to spend a lot more money."

Shi Anxia had a new plan at this time, "Then let's raise the price of Zhuangzi."

You can put the hot spring issue aside for now. According to Shi Anrou's idea, it seems that if you take down a village and know that there are hot springs there, you can achieve success. Little did he know that there were many difficulties and obstacles hidden in it.

Emperor Rongguang had gone through a lot of troubles in the beginning.

A group of craftsmen have been exploring back and forth in Yanhang Mountain for nearly two years, but they have not found the hot spring location mentioned by Xue Fujia. Just when everyone was about to give up, a craftsman accidentally discovered rich hot spring resources somewhere in the Zhuangzi at the foot of Yanhang Mountain.

Later, when Shi Anxia listened to politics behind the curtain, he flipped through the documents and saw the construction drawings of Wenhua Palace and the location drawings of the hot spring exit.

These things were firmly remembered in her mind, so she had the confidence to want to do this business. Now that Shi An Rou actually wants to get involved, let's muddy the water a little and see who can have the last laugh.
