Chapter 85

Master Wang invited Ling Muer and his sister into the house for a detailed discussion. Because of the leg treatment, Master Wang treated them very well. He has two shops in his hand, one was originally a cloth shop with a lot of space inside, and the price is five thousand taels of silver. The other is a rice shop, and there is still a lot of rice in the rice shop. Master Wang couldn't move so much rice noodles, so he planned to sell them at a low price. But Ling Muer is willing to buy them all, so Master Wang doesn't have to bother so much.

The rice noodles in the rice shop plus the shop are worth 7,000 taels of silver in total. Therefore, the two shops together will sell twelve thousand taels of silver. And the area of ​​their house is huge, it can accommodate more than one hundred people. Master Wang was originally a big boss, and he had seventy or eighty servants. This mansion is probably new, so the price is not cheap. Master Wang is a generous man, and he has a good impression of Ling Muer, so he removed the odds, and finally sold the two shops and the mansion for 20,000 taels of silver.

Both are cheerful people. Master Wang immediately took them to transfer the ownership. Not long after, Ling Mu'er had her own shop in the capital.

After leaving Wang's house, Ling Zixuan still had the feeling of dreaming. They actually have a house in the capital. The most frightening thing is that tens of thousands of taels of silver are taken out as soon as they are said to be taken out.

Seeing Ling Zixuan's appearance, Ling Mu'er couldn't help laughing out loud. She chuckled and said, "Brother, what are you thinking? As for being so surprised?"

"A year ago our family was still worrying about a few pennies, but now you bought a house and a store with tens of thousands of taels of silver, wouldn't I be surprised?" Ling Zixuan shook his head and said, "If parents see the money you took out, they will I'm shocked. No matter how good our restaurant's business is, we didn't make so much money. You made this money by treating people, right? As far as I know, you didn't charge those patients for consultation fees, but only a part of the medicine. Money. You don’t make money from treating the poor.”

"But I also treat rich people! I'm not so soft-hearted to rich people." Ling Mu'er chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, I'm sensible."

"Mu'er, brother feels very ashamed. You have supported this family with your own ability." Ling Zixuan said, "Now all the burdens are on your shoulders. But brother can't do anything."

"Who said that? I often walk around outside, and the size of the family depends on you. But brother, now that you are in the capital, I don't want you to continue running around for this family. I think you should do what you like. You Have you thought about your future?" Ling Muer looked at Ling Zixuan and said.

"My future?" Ling Zixuan looked at the front in confusion. "What future can I... have?"

Seeing him, Ling Mu'er knew that he had never thought about it. In fact, Ling Zixuan is very smart. What she taught him, he could always master quickly. It's a pity that he is not young anymore, and now he is past the age of studying. If he went to a private school at his current age, he would definitely be laughed at by others.

Is Ling Zixuan going to be a businessman for the rest of his life? Why does she always feel that such an arrangement is too cruel for him? He obviously has such a good talent.

"There is no rush to make a decision now. You can think about it slowly. Besides, we have just arrived in the capital, and there are still many things to deal with. This period of time cannot be separated from your help." Ling Muer pulled Ling Zixuan in a small booth stop before. "Boss, how do you sell this silk flower..."

"Boss, I want all these silk flowers." A crisp voice came from the side.

Ling Muer was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at the girl next to her. The girl was dressed in red, with a delicate appearance and a haughty look on her face. She looked at Ling Muer provocatively, and snorted coldly: "What are you looking at? These things belong to Miss Ben."

Ling Zixuan frowned, and looked at the girl with displeasure: "Girl, first come, first come first!"

The girl pursed her lips with an arrogant look: "In the eyes of this lady, the things in this world are only what I want and what I don't want. What comes first and then comes first? That is the rule for you untouchables, and this lady never has to abide by these rules .”

Ling Zixuan was taken aback by the girl's tone. He still wanted to reason, Ling Muer took his arm and said to him: "Brother, I don't like these things either, let's go!"

"Brother? Is he your brother?" The girl looked at Ling Muer in surprise, and then at Ling Zixuan next to her.

Ling Muer felt that the girl asked strangely. Is it so surprising that Ling Zixuan is her brother? She ignored the girl and pulled Ling Zixuan away.

Ling Zixuan felt very uncomfortable. The girl's haughty look was like a thorn, which made him very uncomfortable. Especially when he saw that such a proud person like Ling Mu'er wanted to give up that unreasonable girl, he felt that he was useless. As an older brother, he couldn't protect his younger sister from being bullied, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Brother, are you still angry?" Ling Muer tugged at Ling Zixuan's sleeve. "There are many nobles in the capital. That girl looks like an official. We are newcomers, so there is really no need to cause trouble for a young lady who doesn't know the sufferings of the world. Besides... I didn't suffer."

Ling Mu'er touched her cheek, and raised a strange smile: "I will let that little girl know a truth, in this world, there are only nobles and doctors who should not be provoked."

Ling Zixuan knew what Ling Muer was capable of. Listen to what she means and know what she has done. However, as an older brother, he couldn't protect his younger sister, so he was still unwilling after all.

Is it possible to protect my sister as long as I become a high official? If he could become an official, and sit in the position of under one person and over ten thousand people, no one would bully his sister?

This thought grew in Ling Zixuan's heart. It's like a seed buried in the soil, which almost becomes a dead seed over time. However, due to a coincidence, it grew into a seedling. Now the seedling grows when it sees the wind, and it looks like it will grow into a big tree. In the end, the thought became stable in my heart and never moved again.

"Mu'er." Ling Zixuan said suddenly.

"Huh?" Ling Muer was studying the terrain. After all, I am not familiar with it when I first came here, so it is right to learn more about the terrain.

"I want to study." Ling Zixuan looked at Ling Muer. "I can also read a lot these days. I know it's too late to study at my current age. But I want to take the imperial examination and become a high official, so that I can protect you. I am willing to study by myself first, and wait for me Once you have a little knowledge, go to the academy to study."

Ling Muer didn't make fun of Ling Zixuan's ambition. If Ling Zixuan told others about this, they would definitely say that he was crazy. However, the person in front of her was Ling Muer, she would not make fun of him, she would only support him. In her opinion, modern old people in their 70s and 80s still learn to read and learn computers. Why can't Ling Zixuan take the imperial examination?

"Brother's words are wrong." Ling Mu'er shook her head and said, "It's too late to study at your current age, so you must hurry up and study. I think you should ask a master to teach you how to read at home. This is also convenient. My younger brother and my cousins. First study for a year, and then decide whether to enter the academy or not."

"Okay, it's decided like this." Ling Zixuan said seriously: "I will be able to pass the exam next year. If I don't pass the Tongsheng exam by then, then I won't study."

Back at the inn, everyone has rested. Knowing that the brother and sister have bought the store and house, Yang is happy on the one hand, but also feels sorry for them on the other hand.

"Mu'er, did Master Wang say when you can move in?" In the restaurant, Mrs. Yang sat next to Ling Muer and served her some food.

Ling Mu'er ate the food brought by Mrs. Yang, and said vaguely: "We have to wait a month! Their old slave has old cold legs, and he will not leave the capital until I cure him. So Just now I have rented a residential house, and it only costs two taels of silver a month. Everyone will live in it first."

"That's good. The inn is too expensive. It cost ten taels of silver last night." Yang said distressedly: "It's better to live in a residence!"

Ling Muer sat in front of the window, watching the pedestrians coming and going outside. Beijing is so lively. It was worthwhile for her to see the prosperity of ancient times with her own eyes.

"Little lady, you look pretty good, come and play with the uncle." On the street, a dude grabbed the arm of a delicate girl, and started to touch the girl.

People on the street looked at the dude with disgust, but no one came forward to help. From this it can be seen that the dandy is also a respectable figure in the capital.

"Xiao Er." Ling Muer waved to Xiao Er beside her. "What is the origin of that man? Why are everyone so afraid of him?"

Xiao Er glanced at it, and said with displeasure in his eyes: "That's the son of the servant of the household department. His sister is the imperial concubine in the palace. Ordinary people can't provoke him."

Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Tang, Ling Dazhi, Yang Daniu, and the maidservants and attendants all looked at that dude seriously, and decided to hide when they saw him.

"That girl is really pitiful. With so many people staring at her, no one rescued her?" Jiang Xiang said with tears, "My sister...was forced to death."

Shang Zhi tugged at Jiangxiang's sleeve, and shook his head at her: "It's impossible. Who wants to provoke such a nobleman for someone he doesn't know?"

boom! From the street came the sound of whipping. Everyone looked over, only to see a young girl in red slapping the whip fiercely at the dude.

"Toad surnamed Zhang, you are really getting more and more courageous. You dare to molest women in the street. Is it dead to be the princess?" The woman in red said fiercely.

When Ling Muer saw the girl in red, surprise flashed in her eyes. The girl in red is the woman I saw just now. I thought she was an unruly young lady who was not easy to serve, but I didn't expect that she would come forward to help an ordinary civilian.

"Who is she?" Yang asked Xiao Er. "What a majestic girl."

"The guest just came to the capital, right? If you come here for a few days, you will know this eldest lady. She is the daughter of the eldest princess, and the little princess of Chaoyang." Xiaoer looked at the girl in red and said, "This little princess has a bad temper. , don't provoke her, otherwise, if the whip comes over, even if you don't die, your skin will peel off. But this little princess is also the nemesis of the capital's dandies. Although she is unruly and willful, she can't see anyone bullying women. In my heart, it exists like a god.”
