Listening to Wang Gui’s explanation, Bai Yunxi was not taboo about such things, but keeping it secret was really embarrassing.
It’s getting late, let’s go back.
Master, let me help you, be careful where you step.
As soon as Bai Yunxi said she was leaving, Shiliu immediately walked forward diligently, supported her, and looked at the yard with disgust.
If we had known it was so unlucky, we wouldn’t have come. We’ll go back and let my servants boil you a pot of mugwort water to get rid of the bad luck.
Baiyunxi trembled at the corner of her mouth. This girl was very articulate, even more talkative than Okra.
Seeing the master and servants walking out, Wang Gui quickly got up. He didn’t have time to brush the weeds on his body, so he chased after them.
Bai Shuren, don’t be angry. I should have told you this earlier, but I was negligent. But rituals have already been done here. Landlord Liu specially invited the master of Putuo Temple to do the rituals to ensure that they are very clean.
The business that I originally thought was going to be closed turned out to be so wrong. It was really disturbing.
With so many things happening in Kyoto every day, this little thing about the Liu family has long been forgotten. Of course, he did take a chance and thought about the Bai family going in and out of Kyoto, but he didn’t know much about the situation here.
But Zhuangzi was really good, and he sincerely introduced him to the Bai family.
As the saying goes, officials are blessed by God. Even if there is something really dirty, it can’t get into their bodies.
Bai Shuren, this is a small mistake. If you are interested, I will go and discuss with Landlord Liu. The price can be negotiated.
This Zhuangzi is the heart of the Liu family. As long as he makes peace, the price should be reduced again.
He is just a tooth club, a middleman, just a facilitator.
Of course, Landlord Liu did grant him benefits in order to get him to act quickly. In addition to the regular agency fee, there was also an extra one hundred taels of gratitude.
Bai Yunxi walked to the carriage and looked back at him before getting on. Before she could speak, she saw Wenyou holding the reins and tapping on her palm.
In that case, I’d rather Wang Yahui make a trip and ask the Liu family what they want. If it’s possible, our Bai family will reluctantly take five thousand taels.
Wang Gui: …
Still reluctantly asked for it?
Is that too much?
Listening to Wang Gui’s complaints, Bai Yunxi held back her laughter and got on the carriage.
In fact, she didn’t mind bargaining in person. Now that she had a mouthpiece by her side, she felt a lot less worried.
It wasn’t until the Bai family’s carriage started that Wang Gui reacted, immediately got on the carriage and chased after him. I was thinking about how to broker this business.
As for Wang Gui’s plans, Bai Yunxi doesn’t care, as long as he can send good news.
Because of this unhappiness, I didn’t even visit the Zhuangzi Baiyun River below, and went back to the city directly.
Aunt Wen is still awesome. Just looking at him coldly will make Wang Gui’s legs tremble. Pomegranate sat in the carriage, glanced at the carriage far behind, and snorted.
You are also very powerful, sharp-tongued and good at talking. Bai Yunxi chuckled, looking at Pomegranate’s delicate cheeks, she and Ou Kui’s movements complemented each other perfectly.
Master, if the Liu family agrees, are you really willing to buy this village? The old man said, places where people have died are not clean, and if it is contaminated with dirt, it will damage your luck.
What, are you scared?
People in this period especially believed in ghosts and gods. As long as it was labeled as unlucky, no one would want it, no matter how good it was.
If you don’t do anything bad, I’m not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Pomegranate said, puffing up her chest.
After all, he said it, but his eyes were weak.
Haha… It doesn’t matter if you’re afraid. Didn’t Wang Gui just say that just now, every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its own owner, and it can’t be found on us.
Bai Yunxi looked at her scared expression and felt very good.
Whether it can be done or not depends on Wang Gui’s ability.
Unexpectedly, Wang Gui came to the door the next day, and the Liu family agreed.
Baiyunxi was not surprised when he heard the news. According to the agreement, he asked Wenyou to follow him to transfer the property. After getting the red deed, he directly took people to repair it.
Zhuangzi changed its name to Zizhu Manor.
Wenyou gathered A Feng and several young men together, and hired professional masons to go to Zizhuyuan to repair the garden.
As for the tenant farmers there, Baiyunxi is not in a hurry and will wait until Xiaosi comes to change the lease documents.
During this period, Xie Yu sent a post inviting Baiyunxi and his family to visit Fushang Hotpot.
Last time, the couple came in a hurry, and Baiyunxi didn’t have time to prepare the meeting ceremony, so she just made up for it this time.
Especially Xie Yu’s son, the little guy is tough-minded, and Bai Yunxi, as his grandmother, prepared a longevity lock for him.
Xie Yu and his wife had just arrived in Kyoto. Apart from the Duan family, Baiyunxi and his family were also enjoying themselves.
Just from Mrs. Duan’s tone, Bai Yunxi could feel that she had high expectations for her niece-in-law.
As soon as he arrived, he sat in the position of the young minister of Honglu Temple, which was indeed enough to attract their attention.
As an imperial merchant, the more help around them, the better it is for them. Anyone who helps and says a word is better than those who stand by and watch.
When I came back from Xie’s house, it started to snow.
Baiyunxi asked Nanny Zhu to check the charcoal fire in the warehouse. If there was not enough charcoal, she would buy it quickly and not cut off the heating.
Back to the old lady, I don’t know who spread the rumor. It is said that this year is a cold winter, which makes the price of silver carbon on the market ridiculously high. Five guans per pound is too much.
When Grandma Zhu came back, she baked her hands in front of the charcoal pot and stamped her feet anxiously.
It’s all my fault, old slave. A while ago, Sanguan cost a pound. I thought it was expensive, so I wanted to wait until the weather got colder and charcoal fires came in in large quantities, so the price dropped. Now, it’s almost doubled. Black charcoal is actually cheaper. , but black charcoal is very smoky and not suitable for heating.”
Baiyunxi raised his eyebrows, are prices in Kyoto so high?
Silver carbon dares to reach five thousand dollars?
Fortunately, when Fifth Master came over, he bought a lot, so he can still cope with it for a while. Aunt Zhu looked annoyed. She knew it was hard to buy things with money.
Things have already happened. It’s business to think about how to solve it. This year we are new here, so there are many things we can’t do in time. We must learn from experience in the future and prepare early.
Baiyunxi waved his hand and said something,
If it doesn’t work, let’s make our own charcoal.
Although she doesn’t know how to make silver charcoal, the charcoal she burns is also smokeless.
They happened to buy Zhuangzi, and there were a lot of pine and bamboo forests in the back hill. Two cellars were enough for their family.
The second brother and his wife are the best at this. It would be great if Xiaosi and the others came over.
After all, Baiyunxi still sent someone to send a message to Wenyou, asking her to take someone to chop some pine and bamboo for preparation. When the snow stopped, she would go there and burn a cellar for use first.
It rained continuously for two days and finally stopped.
Baiyunxi directly asked people to prepare a car and took pomegranate okra to Zizhu Manor. The snow on the road was very thick, making driving really inconvenient.
When Wenyou saw Baiyunxi’s carriage, her brows jumped, Why is Aunt Bai here? The snowy road is slippery and very dangerous.
Before Bai Yunxi could speak, Shiliu narrated the story, The charcoal fire in the house can last for at least half a month. The master was worried that it would stop, so he came to burn the charcoal.
